PNC TO ACQUIRE YARDVILLE NATIONAL BANCORP

Results in No. 1 deposit share in three of New Jersey’s wealthiest counties

     PITTSBURGH, June 7, 2007 – The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: PNC), with $123 billion in assets, announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Hamilton, N.J.-based Yardville National Bancorp (YNB) (NASDAQ: YANB), with approximately $3 billion in assets, for $403 million in stock and cash, or approximately $35.00 per share.

     YNB is a commercial and consumer bank with $2 billion in deposits and 33 branches in central New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. With this transaction, PNC expects to become No. 1 in deposit share in the wealthy Mercer, Hunterdon and Somerset Counties of New Jersey, which have three of the highest median household incomes in the United States [see map below].

     “This acquisition is consistent with our strategy of expanding PNC’s distribution in the rapidly growing and affluent Middle Atlantic region while maintaining our disciplined approach to capital deployment. The transaction results in leading deposit share in several very attractive counties in New Jersey, and we expect an estimated internal rate of return of 15 percent,” said PNC President Joseph C. Guyaux.

     PNC anticipates that the transaction will be accretive to earnings per share in 2008. The company expects to take a one-time after-tax charge of $27 million related to the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2007. PNC expects to have the capital flexibility to continue its current common stock repurchase program for 2007.

     The acquisition is expected to close early in the fourth quarter of 2007, subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals and approval by YNB shareholders, with conversion planned for the first half of 2008. “The integration will be led by PNC’s Retail Banking management in New Jersey and should have no impact on our Mercantile integration activities,” Guyaux said.

     Under the purchase agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, YNB will merge into PNC. The transaction values each common share of YNB stock at $35.00 based on PNC’s closing NYSE stock price of $71.84 on June 6, 2007. The aggregate consideration for the YNB common stock is comprised of approximately 3.267 million shares of PNC common stock and $156 million in cash, subject to adjustment, and is based on 11.175 million shares of YNB common stock that are currently outstanding. The consideration a YNB shareholder will receive is equivalent to .2923 shares of PNC common stock and $14 in cash per share of YNB common stock. YNB shareholders will be entitled to elect to receive the merger consideration in shares of PNC common stock or in cash, subject to proration if either cash or stock is oversubscribed. Further, the aggregate consideration includes YNB stock options currently with an i n-the-money value of approximately $12 million, which will be cashed out if not exercised prior to closing.

     The actual value of the purchase consideration to be paid upon closing to each YNB shareholder will depend on the average PNC stock price shortly prior to completion of the merger, and the cash and stock components on a per YNB share basis will be determined at that time based on the average PNC stock price so that each share of YNB receives consideration representing equal value.

     YNB serves individuals and small to mid-sized businesses in the dynamic New York City-Philadelphia corridor through a network of branches in Mercer, Hunterdon, Somerset, Middlesex, Burlington, and Ocean counties in New Jersey and Bucks County in Pennsylvania. YNB emphasizes commercial lending and offers a broad range of lending, deposit and other financial products and services.

     Hovde Financial and Pepper Hamilton LLP, respectively, acted as the financial and legal advisers to YNB. Citi and Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz, respectively, acted as the financial and legal adviser to PNC.

(http://www.pnc.com/) is one of the nation’s largest diversified financial services organizations providing retail and business banking; specialized services for corporations and government entities, including corporate banking, real estate finance and asset-based lending; wealth management; asset management and global fund services.

In addition, forward-looking statements in this press release are subject to the following risks and uncertainties related both to the acquisition transaction itself and to the integration of the acquired business into PNC after closing:

• The transaction may be substantially more expensive to complete (including the integration of YNB's businesses) and the anticipated benefits, including anticipated cost savings and strategic gains, may be significantly harder or take longer to achieve than expected or may not be achieved in their entirety as a result of unexpected factors or events.
• The integration of YNB's business and operations into PNC, which will include conversion of YNB's different systems and procedures, may take longer than anticipated or be more costly than anticipated or have unanticipated adverse results relating to YNB's or PNC's existing businesses.
• The anticipated benefits to PNC are dependent in part on YNB's business performance in the future, and there can be no assurance as to actual future results, which could be impacted by various factors, including the risks and uncertainties generally related to PNC's and YNB's performance or due to factors related to the acquisition of YNB and the process of integrating it into PNC.
