Keeping you in the Loop

Our teams have had ongoing conversations with our technology partners with a goal of finalizing a date for our anticipated bank system conversion. As previously communicated, we anticipate the legal close of our combination to take place in the fourth quarter of this year, pending regulatory approval. More details to come.

The integration framework, as communicated last week, will consist of five workstreams coordinated through an Integration Management Office (IMO) that will be led by a Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is in the process of finalizing the team members who will be involved in these efforts. The Bank Integration and Conversion workstream, the Wealth Integration workstream, the Talent workstream and the Culture workstream will have Co-Chairs from WSFS and BMT to ensure a collaborative approach. Stay tuned for more details coming soon. 

We’re Listening to What’s On Your Mind

Since our combination was announced in March, several questions have come up from BMT and WSFS team members about our plans for the current BMT headquarters building located at 801 Lancaster Avenue.

We realize this building has been a staple on the Main Line and an important part of BMT’s legacy. Although we are continuing our evaluation of the real estate for our combined company, we wanted to share that we do intend on keeping 801 Lancaster Avenue as part of our combined company’s commitment to the Main Line and to the history of Bryn Mawr Trust.

As a reminder, please continue to send questions or your thoughts and feedback to the OnMyMind@wsfsbank.com mailbox. We will build FAQs organized around themes based on questions that are submitted to the mailbox. Please check the WSFS+BMT intranet page to access the most recent FAQs.

Exciting News to Share!

Earlier this week, WSFS shared with their Associates they have been named a recipient of the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award. The following announcement was shared with the WSFS team earlier this week as well as the press release on this recognition.

Sincerely,

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains estimates, predictions, opinions, projections and other “forward-looking statements” as that phrase is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to the impact WSFS and Bryn Mawr expect their proposed merger to have on the combined entity’s operations, financial condition, and financial results, and WSFS’s and Bryn Mawr’s expectations about their ability to successfully integrate their respective businesses and the amount of cost savings and overall operational efficiencies WSFS and Bryn Mawr expect to realize as a result of the proposed acquisition. The forward-looking statements also include predications or expectations of future business or financial performance as well as goals and objectives for future operations, financial and business trends, business prospects, and management's outlook or expectations for earnings, revenues, expenses, capital levels, liquidity levels, asset quality or other future financial or business performance, strategies or expectations. The words “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “strategy,” “plan,” “estimate,” “approximately,” “target,” “project,” “propose,” “possible,” “potential,” “should” and similar expressions, among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions (many of which are beyond the control of WSFS and Bryn Mawr) and are subject to risks and uncertainties (which change over time) and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the proposed acquisition does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, stockholder or other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the delay in or failure to close for any other reason; changes in WSFS’s share price before closing; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against WSFS or Bryn Mawr; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of one or both parties to terminate the merger agreement providing for the merger; the risk that the businesses of WSFS and Bryn Mawr will not be integrated successfully; the possibility that the cost savings and any synergies or other anticipated benefits from the proposed acquisition may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; disruption from the proposed acquisition making it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, customers or other parties with whom WSFS or Bryn Mawr have business relationships; diversion of management time on merger-related issues; risks relating to the potential dilutive effect of the shares of WSFS common stock to be issued in the proposed transaction; the reaction to the proposed transaction of the companies’ customers, employees and counterparties; uncertainty as to the extent of the duration, scope, and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on WSFS, Bryn Mawr and the proposed transaction; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of WSFS and Bryn Mawr.
