Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On April 21, 2010, the Board of Directors of First Commonwealth Financial Corporation (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to authorize the issuance of uncertificated shares of stock. This amendment did not require approval of shareholders under Pennsylvania law. The amendment added the following new Article 10 to the Articles of Incorporation:

Article 10. Shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be certificated or uncertificated, as provided under Pennsylvania law, and this Article 10 shall not be interpreted to limit the authority of the Board of Directors to issue some or all of any of the classes or series of shares of the corporation without certificates. To the extent certificates for shares are issued, such certificates shall be in the form as set forth in the corporation’s Bylaws. In the case of shares issued without certificates, the corporation will, or cause its transfer agent to, within a reasonable time after such issuance, send the holders of such shares a written statement containing the information required to be set forth on certificates by the corporation’s Bylaws, by these Articles of Incorporation, or otherwise by applicable law or regulation.
