I’m confident in the fact that Century remains true to the founding principles that have guided our strategy for almost 45 years. As a family-run business, our belief that “character counts” has worked for us since our inception and continues to pay dividends for our shareholders. The “giants” of our industry need to reflect on this principal too. It has become too commonplace that we are made aware of more incidents where they violated laws and regulations and as a result paid substantial fines, which at the end of the day dilutes stockholders’ equity. I’m grateful to our shareholders, as well as our associates and clients who have all played a role in the growth of Century. I look forward to prospering together in 2014 and the years ahead. Marshall M. Sloane, Founder and Chairman “ About Century Headquarters Century Bancorp, Inc. is a $3.43 billion banking and financial services company headquartered in Medford, Massachusetts.

Sloane 440778_Cover.Cs6.indd 2 2/25/14 5:07 PM 2013 Dear Fellow Shareholders: 2013 was the fourth consecutive record year for Century Bank. As we approach our 45th anniversary, assets, deposits, earnings, and loans all again reached record levels. We ended 2013 at $3.43 billion in assets and the milestone of over $20 million of annual earnings. Our stock rose 1% during the year to close at $33.25; a three-year increase of 24% and a five-year increase of 111%. 2013 was another year when it all came together for Century in the midst of a banking industry in turmoil. CONFIDENCE IN OUR PERFORMANCE It has often been said that banking is a business built on confidence. People entrust their assets to those institutions and bankers in whom they place their financial confidence. Our stakeholders have demonstrated confidence in us to do the right thing, confidence in our ability to run a successful business, and confidence that we will grow with them into the future. In our message this year, I explore the key elements of confidence that led to our prosperity. We manifest our confidence in the future of our communities and our clients, and in return, we benefit by the reciprocal confidence we have earned from our marketplace through nearly a half century of banking leadership, all guided with respected wisdom by our Founder and Chairman, Marshall M. Sloane.

Century’s return on average equity (ROE) improved to 11.58%, compared to 2012’s 11.06%. Our ROE remains well above the average ROE of our regional peer group. Our efficiency ratio of overhead to revenue increased slightly to 63%, up from 62% in 2012, yet still below the median (lower is favorable) within our regional peer group. We added significant resources to our business platform in 2013, yet maintained intense control over expenses. CONFIDENCE IN SIGNIFICANT ASSET GROWTH Total assets grew 11.2% to a record $3.43 billion on December 31, 2013, up from $3.09 billion on December 31, 2012, an increase of $345 million. Century made significant new client acquisitions in 2013 in all three business lines: consumer, business, and institutional services. Depositor confidence is predicated on a stable banking environment and the markers of consistent growth of earnings and assets. We produce consistent earnings and asset growth without the turbulence of event risk and speculation encountered by many of our competitors. Depositor confidence builds assets over time without excessive interest expense. CONFIDENCE IN CAPITAL ADEQUACY Total equity was $176.5 million on December 31, 2013, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 2%, from $180 million on December 31, 2012. Book value per share decreased to $31.76 at December 31, 2013, down by $0.64 from $32.40 at December 31, 2012. The slight reduction in book value per share was due to a decline in value of our “available-for-sale” securities portfolio during the first half of 2013. In the third quarter of 2013, we made the strategic decision to transfer most of our available-for-sale portfolio to the held-to-maturity category. We did so in an effort to minimize the possibility that rising interest rates could necessitate a book reduction of capital to reflect the potentially lower value of our securities portfolio. It was a decision predicated in risk management, which will come as no surprise, since our enduring priority is the safety and adequacy of our capital. Century is “well capitalized” by all regulatory standards, and we foresee no difficulty passing all proposed “Basel III” standards with future organic capital generation from earnings. BILLION IN TOTAL ASSETS $3.43 2 0 1 3 A N N U A L R E P O R T Pictured from left: Executive Vice President David B. Woonton Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer William P. Hornby Executive Vice President Brian J. Feeney Executive Vice President Paul A. Evangelista CONFIDENCE IN OUR LOAN PORTFOLIO Total loans grew by $153 million, or 14%, to $1.26 billion on December 31, 2013, a clear record. Non-performing assets fell 43% from the previous year, to $2.5 million. We’re not perfect, but our loan portfolio is “pristine,” as described by many outside observers. The education and healthcare sectors continue to anchor our loan growth, increasing 39%, in 2013 as many quality not-for-profit institutions expanded and refinanced older “swapped” debt with simpler and less expensive “direct purchase” private placements. We are, by any standard, one of the leading experts in tax-exempt financing in New England. Century’s loan portfolio was built by relentless bankers who, for decades, have been calling on the most attractive business prospects in our marketplace. We combine expert market knowledge with extraordinary product expertise, leading to some of the longest-duration satisfied relationships in banking. The process goes on every day, pushing up our market share. We have increasingly found that we must train our own new lenders, in both quantitative and qualitative skills. We are proud to now have a group of junior lenders in various stages of training evolution who will form the next generation of our line officers. Our loan underwriting team proudly manages a daily process of loan review and approval that ensures speedy and thoughtful decisions by experienced senior managers. In the record year of 2013, we closed $142 million in residential first mortgages and $83 million in home equity lines and loans. Our program of calling on real estate brokers is in its second successful year. We are building long-term relationships with brokers throughout the Boston area for their important referrals. We also extended 390 energy conservation loans through the Mass Save loan program, helping us do our part for conservation while originating new long-term relationships. $1.26 BILLION IN TOTAL LOANS 2 0 1 3 A N N U A L R E P O R T The implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act included the concept of a Qualified Mortgage (QM). Although the intent to eliminate inappropriate or abusive loans to consumers was admirable in light of recent history, the unfortunate unintended consequence was to eliminate our freedom to make an exception for loyal clients who may have experienced circumstantial credit or employment difficulties. Sadly, we have already found ourselves declining many applicants who cannot attain the ratio of QM debt to income standard. We hope the Consumer Protection Financial Board soon reinstates our authority to make exceptions for applicants who face life challenges. Making an informed exception for borrowers who need a “second chance” has long been one of the keystones of community banking. We miss it. As we compete with our “giant” peers, we are struck by how, in virtually every case, they make loan decisions by formula, by people hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away from potential customers. Bad credit decisions are usually made by decentralized credit authorities far from the relevant geography. Empowering our bankers with quick, local, and informed decision-making is our foundation and competitive attribute. We will never bureaucratize or formularize our lending process. Creativity and transparency in our loan process are critical elements of client retention. CONFIDENCE IN OUR GROWING BRANCH SYSTEM In 2013, we opened our 26th branch at Chestnut Hill Square in Newton. Our western region, under Linda Sloane Kay’s leadership, now includes five branches and about $350 million in deposits. We also have meaningful market share in Brookline, Newton, and Wellesley. We have signed a lease to add a highly visible branch in Woburn, a vibrant community in which we have long sought a presence. The biggest asset in our branch system is our 26 experienced and diligent branch managers. They know their clients and communities, and every week, I hear from truly satisfied clients about their positive experiences. These managers are the jewels of our branch system.

CONFIDENCE IN OUR INSTITUTIONAL SERVICES The Institutional Services Group, which includes our government, cash management, and not-for-profit banking teams, had another record year of client growth. Our share of government banking deposits is now reported to be the highest among Massachusetts chartered banks, and we have significantly expanded our relationships in Rhode Island and New Hampshire. We processed over 21 million transactions in 2013, with exceptional quality control and customer service. A new large lockbox client whose previous giant processor moved its facility far out of state recently told us that was “when the pain began.” The description clearly captured a view of clients’ negative experiences with many of our competitors. We pride ourselves on local control, implementation, and service. Problems are identified and solved quickly by officers with authority and confidence in their actions and management’s support. We are confident that even as the number of paper items gradually declines, the need for high-volume processing services will be permanent for industries whose revenue is predicated on millions of repetitive payments. There may be fewer providers of the lockbox service in the future, but there will always be a demand for the highest-quality customized and responsive service. Our lockbox “factory” continues to be one of the largest engines of our deposit growth. 2 0 1 3 A N N U A L R E P O R T CONFIDENCE IN OUR BRAND Our marketing program has achieved its principal objective: to create a sustainable and differentiated brand awareness throughout our market. Combining print, radio, and web advertising, our program has used the media to explain Century’s history, philosophy, and key attributes to the decision makers in all three of our market segments. Our radio commercials are made without a script; they are the result of true conversations with on-air talent, a practice that communicates the sincerity of the spokesperson. It’s working, and our new client success proves it. CONFIDENCE IN OUR INFORMATION SYSTEMS Century’s information services platform is critical to serving our clients and protecting their precious private information. We are relentless in the testing, enhancement, and augmentation of our automation platform. Management spends countless hours managing the risks and opportunities of technological evolution. We maintain parity with our peers in every principal function and take great pride that, in 2013, we debuted our mobile deposit capability and an entirely new and redesigned website. We have many plans in the pipeline for future application enhancements.

Even as we grow to “regional” size, we never forget the communities we serve and our duty to their futures. We always have time to attend a public meeting, listen to their elected officials, or support their charities. We see a duty to fill the void created by the globalization of the giant banks and be a reliable and available partner for the challenges and opportunities of the people and businesses of our 19 communities. We are proud of their industry and initiative, and we hope we always reflect pride on them. CONFIDENCE IN OUR FUTURE We wish we could say we are confident about the progress being made to reduce the size of the federal budget deficit and national debt, but alas, no real improvement was made in 2013. We are governed now by the Congressional instrument of continuing resolution, a structure that would never find acceptance in the private sector. In the post-War period, it has often been said that the US dollar enjoys a “dominant privilege” in the context of the global debt and currency markets. We are fortunate that the dollar is still seen as the world’s reserve currency, but chaos in Washington and uncontrolled public debt will ultimately undermine that status in favor of others. We can only hope that, in 2014, more agreement and compromise will lead to long-term fiscal solutions. In the meantime, we do know that the most important financial transactions in the lives of organizations and individuals require an intense personal involvement by ROSE SLOANE GARDEN MEDFORD, MA Throughout 2013, Century Bank hosted several community celebrations in the Rose Sloane Garden in Medford Square.

Glynn A- S&P QUALITY RANKING bankers, and no machine has yet shown itself to be an effective decision maker or retention strategist. Hence, we are confident that there is a strong future for community and regional banks, not dissimilar to the gap Century filled in Somerville in 1969, in the year of the bank’s founding. We carry on the legacy of our Founder’s credo to do the right thing by each client and conservatively manage the credit risks...the rest will follow. It worked then, it works now. The fundamentals remain the same. As this report went to press, we received the good news that S&P upgraded our quality ranking to A-, a rare accolade to a regional bank of our size. CONFIDENCE IN OUR PEOPLE We are so blessed by the continuity, resourcefulness, and professionalism of our 400 Century colleagues. We’ve had our share of storms, illness, and industry challenges, and the members of our team outperform and overcome every obstacle they face. We are truly a family on every working level. We have confidence in all of our associates and thank them for all they do everyday. 2013 was a year it all came together. We’ll do our best to make it happen again in 2014. Gratefully, Barry R.

Forward-looking statements, which are based on various assumptions (some of which are beyond the Company’s control), may be identified by reference to a future period or periods, or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “continue” or similar terms or variations on those terms, or the negative of these terms. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, those related to the economic environment, particularly in the market areas in which the Company operates, competitive products and pricing, fiscal and monetary policies of the U.S. Government, changes in government regulations affecting financial institutions, including regulatory fees and capital requirements, changes in prevailing interest rates, acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses, credit risk management, asset/liability management, the financial and securities markets, and the availability of and costs associated with sources of liquidity. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward- looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. RECENT MARKET DEVELOPMENTS The financial services industry continues to face challenges in the aftermath of the recent national and global economic crisis. Since June 2009, the U.S. economy has been recovering from the most severe recession and financial crisis since the Great Depression. There have been some improvements in private- sector employment, industrial production and U.S. exports; nevertheless, the pace of economic recovery has been slow. Financial markets have improved since the depths of the crisis but are still unsettled and volatile. There is continued concern about the U.S. economic outlook. On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) became law. The Act was intended to address many issues arising in the recent financial crisis and is exceedingly broad in scope, affecting many aspects of bank and financial market regulation. The Act requires, or permits by implementing regulation, enhanced prudential standards for banks and bank holding companies inclusive of capital, leverage, liquidity, concentration and exposure measures. In addition, traditional bank regulatory principles such as restrictions on transactions with affiliates and insiders were enhanced. The Act also contains reforms of consumer mortgage lending practices and creates a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, which is granted broad authority over consumer financial practices of banks and others. It is expected as the specific new or incremental requirements applicable to the Company become effective that the costs and difficulties of remaining compliant with all such requirements will increase. The Act broadens the base for FDIC assessments to average consolidated assets less tangible equity of financial institutions and also permanently raises the current standard maximum FDIC deposit insurance amount to $250,000. The Act extended unlimited deposit insurance on non-interest bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2012. In addition, the Act added a new Section 13 to the Bank Holding Company Act, the so-called “Volcker Rule,” (the “Rule”) which generally restricts certain banking entities such as the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates, from engaging in proprietary trading activities and owning equity in or sponsoring any private equity or hedge fund. The Rule became effective July 21, 2012. The final implementing regulations for the Rule were issued by various regulatory agencies in December, 2013 and under an extended conformance regulation compliance must be achieved by July 21, 2015. Under the Rule, the Company may be restricted from engaging in proprietary trading, investing in third party hedge or private equity funds or sponsoring new funds unless it qualifies for an exemption from the rule. The Company has little involvement in prohibited proprietary trading or investment activities in covered funds and the Company does not 3 expect that complying with the requirements of the Rule will have any material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation. On September 29, 2009, the FDIC adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) that would require insured institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The FDIC Board voted to adopt a uniform three-basis point increase in assessment rates effective on January 1, 2011, and extend the restoration period from seven to eight years. This rule was finalized on November 2, 2009. The Company’s quarterly risk-based deposit insurance assessments were paid from this amount until June 30, 2013. The Company received a refund of $2.4 million of prepaid FDIC assessments in June 2013. Federal banking regulators have issued risk-based capital guidelines, which assign risk factors to asset categories and off-balance-sheet items. Also, the Basel Committee has issued capital standards entitled “Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems” (“Basel III”). The Federal Reserve Board has finalized its rule implementing the Basel III regulatory capital framework. The rule, that will come into effect in January 2015, sets the Basel III minimum regulatory capital requirements for all organizations. It includes a new common equity Tier I ratio of 4.5 percent of risk-weighted assets, raises the minimum Tier I capital ratio from 4 percent to 6 percent of risk-weighted assets and would set a new conservation buffer of 2.5 percent of rick-weighted assets. The Company has analyzed the final rules; the implementation of the framework will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Governor of Massachusetts has proposed a tax plan that would modify existing income tax rules. The governor’s plan is part of his budget recommendations for fiscal year 2015, and will subject security corporations to the same tax base and rate as regular business corporations. The proposed tax changes would take effect as of January 1, 2015. The Company is currently analyzing the financial impact of the proposed changes. OVERVIEW Century Bancorp, Inc. (together with its bank subsidiary, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company”) is a Massachusetts state-chartered bank holding company headquartered in Medford, Massachusetts. The Company is a Massachusetts corporation formed in 1972 and has one banking subsidiary (the “Bank”): Century Bank and Trust Company formed in 1969. At December 31, 2013, the Company had total assets of $3.4 billion. Currently, the Company operates 26 banking offices in 19 cities and towns in Massachusetts, ranging from Braintree in the south to Andover in the north. The Bank’s customers consist primarily of small and medium-sized businesses and retail customers in these communities and surrounding areas, as well as local governments and institutions throughout Massachusetts. The Company’s results of operations are largely dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans and securities and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The results of operations are also affected by the level of income/fees from loans and deposits, as well as operating expenses, the provision for loan losses, the impact of federal and state income taxes and the relative levels of interest rates and economic activity. The Company offers a wide range of services to commercial enterprises, state and local governments and agencies, nonprofit organizations and individuals. It emphasizes service to small and medium-sized businesses and retail customers in its market area. The Company makes commercial loans, real estate and construction loans, and consumer loans and accepts savings, time and demand deposits. In addition, the Company offers to its corporate and institutional customers automated lockbox collection services, cash management services and account reconciliation services, and it actively promotes the marketing of these services to the municipal market. Also, the Company provides full-service securities brokerage services through a program called Investment Services at Century Bank, which is supported by LPL Financial, a third party full-service securities brokerage business. Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition The Company is also a provider of financial services, including cash management, transaction processing and short-term financing, to municipalities in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, consisting of 204 relationships. The Company has deposit relationships with 193 (55%) of the 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts. The Company had net income of $20,046,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared with net income of $19,039,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012, and net income of $16,693,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Class A diluted earnings per share were $3.61 in 2013, compared to $3.43 in 2012 and $3.01 in 2011. 2013 2012 2011 Earnings per share (EPS) for each class of stock and for each year ended Basic EPS – Class A common December 31, is as follows: Basic EPS – Class B common Diluted EPS – Class A common Diluted EPS – Class B common $ 4.39 $ 2.19 $ 3.61 $ 2.19 $ 4.18 $ 2.09 $ 3.43 $ 2.09 $ 3.68 $ 1.84 $ 3.01 $ 1.84 3.20 % The trends in the net interest margin are illustrated in the graph below: 3.00 % 2.64% 2.80 % Net Interest Margin 2.43% 2.60 % 2.40 % 2.20 % 2.00 % 2.73% 2.25% 2.44% 2.30% 2.48% 2.52% 2.42% 2.16% 2.21% 2.20% Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2011 2012 2013 Pricing discipline occurred through the first quarter of 2011. The net interest margin fell somewhat during the second quarter of 2011 mainly as a result of increased deposits and corresponding lower yield short-term investments. During the third quarter of 2011 through the third quarter of 2012, management stabilized the net interest margin by continuing to lower cost of funds, and by deploying excess liquidity through expansion of the investment portfolio. Also, the Company collected approximately $3,253,000 of prepayment penalties during 2012. The primary factor accounting for the decrease in the net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 and through the fourth quarter of 2013 was an additional large influx of deposits. Management invested the funds in shorter term securities. While management will continue its efforts to improve the net interest margin, there can be no assurance that certain factors beyond its control, such as the prepayment of loans and changes in market interest rates, will continue to 5.00 % positively impact the net interest margin. 4.00 % Historical U.S. Treasury Yield Curve 3.00 % 2.00 % 1.00 % 0.00 % 3 Month 6 Month 2 Year 3 Year 5 Year 10 Year 30 Year U.S. Treasury Yield Curve 12/31/2011 U.S. Treasury Yield Curve 12/31/2012 U.S. Treasury Yield Curve 12/31/2013 A yield curve is a line that typically plots the interest rates of U.S. Treasury Debt, which have different maturity dates but the same credit quality, at a specific point in time. The three main types of yield curve shapes are normal, inverted and flat. Over the past three years, the U.S. economy has experienced low short-term rates. During 2013, longer-term rates have increased resulting in a steepening of the yield curve. During 2013, the Company’s earnings were positively impacted primarily by an increase in other operating income and a decrease in provision for loan losses. This increase in other operating income was primarily due to an increase in net gains on sales of loans and net gains on sales of securities. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to a lower level of charge-off activity and changes in portfolio composition. During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the U.S. economy experienced a lower short-term rate environment. The lower short-term rates negatively impacted the net interest margin as the rate at which short-term deposits could be invested declined more than the rates offered on those deposits. The net interest margin was positively impacted in 2012 as a result of prepayment penalties that were collected during the year. Total assets were $3,431,154,000 at December 31, 2013, an increase of 11.2% from total assets of $3,086,209,000 at December 31, 2012. On December 31, 2013, stockholders’ equity totaled $176,472,000, compared with $179,990,000 on December 31, 2012. Book value per share decreased to $31.76 at December 31, 2013, from $32.40 on December 31, 2012. During July 2010, the Company entered into a lease agreement to open a branch located at Newton Centre in Newton, Massachusetts. The branch opened on June 20, 2011. During September 2010, the Company entered into a lease agreement to open a branch located in Andover, Massachusetts. The branch opened on July 16, 2012. During June 2012, the Company entered into a lease agreement to open a branch located in Wellesley, Massachusetts. The branch opened on November 26, 2012. During July 2012, the Company received state regulatory approval to close a branch at Chestnut Hill in Newton, Massachusetts. The branch closed on September 21, 2012 and the accounts were temporarily moved to the Brookline, Massachusetts branch. During July 2012, the Company entered into a lease agreement and received regulatory approval to open a branch at a new location at Chestnut Hill in Newton, Massachusetts. The branch opened on November 7, 2013 and the majority of the accounts that were temporarily moved to the Brookline, Massachusetts branch were moved to the new branch at Chestnut Hill in Newton, Massachusetts. During December 2013, the Company entered into a lease agreement to open a branch located in Woburn, Massachusetts. The branch is scheduled to open during the third quarter of 2014. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management, which have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and impact income, are considered critical accounting policies. The Company considers impairment of investment securities and allowance for loan losses to be its critical accounting policies. There have been no significant changes in the methods or assumptions used in the accounting policies that require material estimates and assumptions. 4 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Impaired Investment Securities If a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of an investment security is judged to be “other-than-temporary,” the cost basis of the investment is written down to fair value. The amount of the writedown is included as a charge to earnings. The amount of the impairment charge is recognized in earnings with an offset for the noncredit component which is recognized through other comprehensive income. Some factors considered for other-than-temporary impairment related to a debt security include an analysis of yield which results in a decrease in expected cash flows, whether an unrealized loss is issuer specific, whether the issuer has defaulted on scheduled interest and principal payments, whether the issuer’s current financial condition hinders its ability to make future scheduled interest and principal payments on a timely basis or whether there was a downgrade in ratings by rating agencies. The Company does not intend to sell any of its debt securities with an unrealized loss, and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt securities before the anticipated recovery of their remaining amortized cost, which may be maturity. Allowance for Loan Losses Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Management maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on assessments of the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include the formula allowance and specific allowances for identified problem loans. The formula allowance evaluates groups of loans to determine the allocation appropriate within each portfolio segment. Specific allowances for loan losses entail the assignment of allowance amounts to individual loans on the basis of loan impairment. The formula allowance and specific allowances also include management’s evaluation of various conditions, including business and economic conditions, delinquency trends, charge-off experience and other quality factors. Further information regarding the Company’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance is contained within Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as part of the examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. FINANCIAL CONDITION Investment Securities The Company’s securities portfolio consists of securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) and securities held-to-maturity (“HTM”). Securities available-for-sale consist of certain U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprise mortgage-backed securities; state, county and municipal securities; privately issued mortgage-backed securities; other debt securities; and other marketable equities. These securities are carried at fair value, and unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, are recognized as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The fair value of securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2013 totaled $464,245,000 and included gross unrealized gains of $821,000 and gross unrealized losses of $2,519,000. A year earlier, the fair value of securities available-for-sale was $1,434,801,000 including gross unrealized gains of $21,477,000 and gross unrealized losses of $1,271,000. In 2013, the Company recognized gains of $3,019,000 on the sale of available-for-sale securities. In 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized gains of $1,843,000 and $1,940,000, respectively. Securities classified as held-to-maturity consist of U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises and mortgage-backed securities. Securities held-to-maturity as of December 31, 2013 are carried at their amortized cost of $1,487,884,000. A year earlier, securities held-to-maturity totaled $275,507,000. During the third quarter of 2013, $987,037,000 of securities available-for-sale with unrealized losses of $25,333,000 were transferred to securities held-to- maturity. This was done in response to rising interest rates and an assessment of liquidity needs. Fair Value of Securities Available-for-Sale The following table sets forth the fair value and percentage distribution of securities available-for-sale at the dates indicated. At December 31, 2013 2012 2011 (dollars in thousands) U.S. Treasury U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises SBA Backed Securities U.S. Government Agency and Sponsored Enterprises Mortgage-Backed Securities Privately Issued Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Obligations Issued by States and Political Subdivisions Other Debt Securities Equity Securities Total Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent $ 1,998 10,004 7,302 0.4 % 2.2 % 1.6 % $ 2,004 130,340 8,156 0.1 % 9.1 % 0.6 % $ 2,012 174,957 8,801 0.2 % 13.9 % 0.7 % 403,189 86.8 % 1,233,357 86.0 % 1,035,838 82.3 % 2,277 36,723 2,176 576 0.5 % 7.9 % 0.5 % 0.1 % 2,947 55,174 2,253 570 0.2 % 3.8 % 0.2 % 0.0 % 3,198 20,642 12,610 618 0.3 % 1.6 % 1.0 % 0.0 % $ 464,245 100.0 % $ 1,434,801 100.0 % $ 1,258,676 100.0 % 5 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition The majority of the Company’s securities AFS are classified as Level 2, as defined in Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” The fair values of these securities are obtained from a pricing service, which provides the Company with a description of the inputs generally utilized for each type of security. These inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. Management’s understanding of a pricing service’s pricing methodologies includes obtaining an understanding of the valuation risks, assessing its qualification, verification of sources of information and processes used to develop prices and identifying, documenting, and testing controls. Management’s validation of a vendor’s pricing methodology includes establishing internal controls to determine that the pricing information received by a pricing service and used by management in the valuation process is relevant and reliable. Market indicators and industry and economic events are also monitored. The decline in fair value from amortized cost for individual available-for-sale securities that are temporarily impaired is not attributable to changes in credit quality. Because the Company does not intend to sell any of its debt securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt securities before the anticipated recovery of their remaining amortized cost, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013. Securities available-for-sale totaling $36,597,000, or 1.07% of assets, are classified as Level 3, as defined in Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” These securities are generally equity investments or municipal securities with no readily determinable fair value. The securities are carried at fair value with periodic review of underlying financial statements and credit ratings to assess the appropriateness of these valuations. Debt securities of Government Sponsored Enterprises refer primarily to debt securities of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Amortized Cost of Securities Held-to-Maturity The following table sets forth the amortized cost and percentage distribution of securities held-to-maturity at the dates indicated.

In 2012, sales of securities totaling $294,881,000 in gross proceeds resulted in net realized gains of $1,843,000. In 2011, sales of securities totaling $75,615,000 in gross proceeds resulted in net realized gains of $1,940,000. Management reviews the investment portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment of individual securities on a regular basis. The results of such analysis are dependent upon general market conditions and specific conditions related to the issuers of our securities. 7 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Loans The Company’s lending activities are conducted principally in Massachusetts, Southern New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. The Company grants single-family and multi-family residential loans, commercial and commercial real estate loans, and a variety of consumer loans. To a lesser extent, the Company grants loans for the construction of residential homes, multi-family properties, commercial real estate properties and land development. Most loans granted by the Company are secured by real estate collateral. The ability and willingness of commercial real estate, commercial, construction, residential and consumer loan borrowers to honor their repayment commitments are generally dependent on the health of the real estate market in the borrowers’ geographic areas and of the general economy.

Net deferred loan fees of $174,000, $369,000, $666,000, $186,000 and $71,000 were carried in 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The following table summarizes the remaining maturity distribution of certain components of the Company’s loan portfolio on December 31, 2013. The table excludes loans secured by 1–4 family residential real estate and loans for household and family personal expenditures.

Most clients are privately owned with markets that range from local to national in scope. Many of the loans to this segment are secured by liens on corporate assets and the personal guarantees of the principals. The regional economic strength or weakness impacts the relative risks in this loan category. There is little concentration in any one business sector, and loan risks are generally diversified among many borrowers. Commercial real estate loans are extended to finance various manufacturing, warehouse, light industrial, office, retail and residential properties in the Bank’s market area, which generally includes Massachusetts, Southern New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. Also included are loans to educational institutions, hospitals and other non-profit organizations. Loans are normally extended in amounts up to a maximum of 80% of appraised value and normally for terms between three and thirty years. 8 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Amortization schedules are long term and thus a balloon payment is generally due at maturity. Under most circumstances, the Bank will offer to rewrite or otherwise extend the loan at prevailing interest rates. During recent years, the Bank has emphasized nonresidential-type owner-occupied properties. This complements our C&I emphasis placed on the operating business entities and will continue. The regional economic environment affects the risk of both nonresidential and residential mortgages. Residential real estate (1–4 family) includes two categories of loans. Included in residential real estate are approximately $16,472,000 of C&I type loans secured by 1–4 family real estate. Primarily, these are small businesses with modest capital or shorter operating histories where the collateral mitigates some risk. This category of loans shares similar risk characteristics with the C&I loans, notwithstanding the collateral position. The other category of residential real estate loans is mostly 1–4 family residential properties located in the Bank’s market area. General underwriting criteria are largely the same as those used by Fannie Mae. The Bank utilizes mortgage insurance to provide lower down payment products and has provided a “First Time Homebuyer” product to encourage new home ownership. Residential real estate loan volume has increased and remains a core consumer product. The economic environment impacts the risks associated with this category. Home equity loans are extended as both first and second mortgages on owner-occupied residential properties in the Bank’s market area. Loans are underwritten to a maximum loan to property value of 75%. Bank officers evaluate the feasibility of construction projects based on independent appraisals of the project, architects’ or engineers’ evaluations of the cost of construction and other relevant data. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was obligated to advance a total of $7,026,000 to complete projects under construction. 2013 December 31, 2012 2011 2010 2009 (dollars in thousands) The composition of nonperforming assets is as follows: Total nonperforming loans Other real estate owned Total nonperforming assets Accruing troubled debt restructured loans Loans past due 90 and still accruing Nonperforming loans as a percent of gross loans Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets Residential real estate, multi-family The composition of impaired loans at December 31, is as follows: Commercial real estate Construction and land development Commercial and industrial Total impaired loans $ 2,549 — $ 2,549 $ 5,969 — 0.20 % 0.07 % 2013 $ 1,199 4,520 608 1,367 $ 7,694 $ 4,471 — $ 4,471 $ 3,048 — 0.40 % 0.14 % 2012 $ 862 2,281 1,500 1,282 $ 5,925 $ 5,827 1,182 $ 7,009 $ 4,634 18 0.59 % 0.26 % 2011 $ 516 4,561 1,500 1,525 $ 8,102 $ 8,068 — $ 8,068 $ 1,248 50 0.89 % 0.33 % 2010 $ — 2,492 4,000 1,471 $ 7,963 $ 12,311 — $ 12,311 $ 521 — 1.40 % 0.55 % 2009 $ — 4,260 4,900 1,356 $ 10,516 At December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009, impaired loans had specific reserves of $1,019,000, $1,732,000, $741,000, $317,000 and $745,000 respectively. The Company was servicing mortgage loans sold to others without recourse of approximately $109,301,000, $26,786,000, $18,196,000, $983,000 and $1,127,000 at December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The Company had no loans held for sale at December 31, 2013, $9,378,000 at December 31, 2012, $3,389,000 at December 31, 2011, and none for December 31, 2010 and 2009. Servicing assets are recorded at fair value and recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through sale of loans with servicing rights retained. Mortgage servicing assets (“MSA”) are amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated net servicing income. Upon sale, the mortgage servicing asset is established, which represents the then-current estimated fair value based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. Servicing rights are recorded in other assets and are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of estimated net servicing income and are assessed for impairment based on fair value at each reporting date. MSAs are reported in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. MSAs totaled $703,000 at December 31, 2013, $137,000 for December 31, 2012, and $123,000 for December 31, 2011. Directors and officers of the Company and their associates are customers of, and have other transactions with, the Company in the normal course of business. All loans and commitments included in such transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and do not involve more than normal risk of collection or present other unfavorable features. 9 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when any payment of principal and/or interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the collateral is sufficient to cover both principal and interest and the loan is in the process of collection. The Company monitors closely the performance of its loan portfolio. In addition to internal loan review, the Company has contracted with an independent organization to review the Company’s commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios. This independent review was performed in each of the past five years. The status of delinquent loans, as well as situations identified as potential problems, is reviewed on a regular basis by senior management and monthly by the Board of Directors of the Bank. Nonaccrual loans decreased during 2013 primarily as a result of a charge-off of a construction loan and a decrease in residential real estate nonperforming loans. Nonaccrual loans decreased during 2012, primarily as a result of a decrease in home equity and residential real estate nonperforming loans. Nonaccrual loans decreased during 2011, primarily as a result of $1,200,000 in charge-offs from two construction loans as well as the subsequent foreclosure of $1,300,000 of one of the construction loans. Nonaccrual loans decreased during 2010, primarily as a result of resolution of a $2,479,000 commercial real estate loan as well as $900,000 in charge-offs from two construction loans during 2010. Nonaccrual loans increased from 2008 to 2009, primarily as a result of three loan relationships, one primarily commercial real estate and two construction totaling $7,379,000. The Company continues to monitor closely $16,918,000 and $18,645,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of loans for which management has concerns regarding the ability of the borrowers to perform. The majority of the loans are secured by real estate and are considered to have adequate collateral value to cover the loan balances at December 31, 2013, although such values may fluctuate with changes in the economy and the real estate market. Allowance for Loan Losses The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses in an amount determined by management on the basis of the character of the loans, loan performance, financial Year Ended December 31, condition of borrowers, the value of collateral securing loans and other relevant factors. The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s allowance for ((dollars in thousands) loan losses for the years indicated. 2013 2011 2010 2012 2009 Year-end loans outstanding (net of unearned discount and deferred loan fees) $ 1,264,763 $ 1,111,788 $ 984,492 $ 906,164 $ 877,125 Average loans outstanding (net of unearned discount and deferred loan fees) $ 1,184,912 $ 1,036,296 $ 948,883 $ 877,858 $ 853,422 Balance of allowance for loan losses at the beginning of year Loans charged-off: Commercial Construction Commercial real estate Residential real estate Consumer Total loans charged-off Recovery of loans previously charged-off: Commercial Construction Real estate Consumer Total recoveries of loans previously charged-off: Net loan charge-offs Provision charged to operating expense $ 19,197 $ 16,574 $ 14,053 $ 12,373 $ 11,119 234 1,000 — — 579 1,813 389 — 31 427 847 966 2,710 1,253 — — 351 697 2,301 307 — 45 422 774 1,527 4,150 676 1,200 — 341 607 2,824 293 — 35 467 795 2,029 4,550 1,559 900 922 515 547 4,443 172 — 8 368 548 3,895 5,575 1,498 3,639 — 490 443 6,070 352 25 4 318 699 5,371 6,625 Balance at end of year $ 20,941 $ 19,197 $ 16,574 $ 14,053 $ 12,373 Ratio of net charge-offs during the year to average loans outstanding Ratio of allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding 0.08 % 1.66 % 0.15 % 1.73 % 0.21 % 1.68 % 0.44 % 1.55 % 0.63 % 1.41 % The amount of the allowance for loan losses results from management’s evaluation of the quality of the loan portfolio considering such factors as loan status, specific reserves on impaired loans, collateral values, financial condition of the borrower, the state of the economy and other relevant information. The pace of the charge-offs depends on many factors, including the national and regional economy. Cyclical lagging factors may result in charge-offs being higher than historical levels. Charge-offs increased during 2009 due to an increase in commercial loan charge-offs and construction loan charge-offs as a result of the weakening of the overall economy and real estate market. Charge-offs declined in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 as a result of the overall decrease in the level of nonaccrual loans. The dollar amount of the allowance for loan losses and the level of the allowance for loan losses to total loans increased primarily as a result of a lower level of charge-off activity combined with changes in the portfolio composition. 10 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, the Company considered the following categories to be higher risk: Construction loans — The outstanding loan balance of construction loans at December 31, 2013 is $33,058,000. A major portion in nonaccrual loans is one construction loan. Based on this fact, and the general local construction conditions, management closely monitors all construction loans and considers this type of loan to be higher risk. Higher-balance loans — Loans greater than $1.0 million are considered “high-balance loans.” The balance of these loans is $701,103,000 at December 31, 2013, as compared to $567,306,000 at December 31, 2012. These loans are considered higher risk due to the concentration in individual loans. Additional allowance allocations are made based upon the level of high-balance loans. Included in high-balance loans are loans greater than $10.0 million. The balance of these loans is $377,915,000 at December 31, 2013, as compared to $245,198,000 at December 31, 2012. Additional allowance allocations are made based upon the level of this type of high balance loans that is separate and greater than the $1.0 million allocation. Small business loans — The outstanding loan balances of small business loans is $40,184,000 at December 31, 2013. These are considered higher risk loans because small businesses have been negatively impacted by the current economic conditions. In a liquidation scenario, the collateral, if any, is often not sufficient to fully recover the outstanding balance of the loan. As a result, the Company often seeks additional collateral prior to renewing maturing small business loans. In addition, the payment status of the loans is monitored closely in order to initiate collection efforts in a timely fashion. The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the amount needed for an adequate reserve to absorb losses in the existing loan portfolio. This amount is determined by an evaluation of the loan portfolio, including input from an independent organization engaged to review selected larger loans, a review of loan experience and current 2012 economic conditions. Although the allowance is allocated between categories, the entire allowance is available to absorb losses attributable to all loan categories. At December 31 of each year listed below, the allowance is comprised of the following: 2013 2010 2011 2009 Percent of Loans in Each Category to Total Loans Percent of Loans in Each Category to Total Loans Percent of Loans in Each Category to Total Loans Percent of Loans in Each Category to Total Loans Percent of Loans in Each Category to Total Loans Amount Amount Amount Amount Amount (dollars in thousands) Construction and land development $ 2,174 2.6 % $ 3,041 3.5 % $ 2,893 5.7 % $ 1,752 5.9 % $ 362 6.9 % Commercial and industrial Commercial real estate Residential real estate Consumer and other Home equity Unallocated Total 2,989 7.3 3,118 8.0 3,139 8.4 3,163 10.0 11,218 56.4 9,065 51.8 6,566 49.5 5,671 47.8 2,006 22.6 1,994 25.3 1,886 24.3 1,718 22.9 432 0.8 959 10.3 333 0.7 886 10.7 356 0.8 704 11.3 1,163 760 1,030 298 0.8 725 12.6 726 4,972 2,983 1,304 1,753 16.1 41.2 21.4 0.9 761 13.5 238 $ 20,941 100.0 % $ 19,197 100.0 % $ 16,574 100.0 % $ 14,053 100.0 % $ 12,373 100.0 % Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as part of the examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Further information regarding the allocation of the allowance is contained within Note 6 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” Deposits The Company offers savings accounts, NOW accounts, demand deposits, time deposits and money market accounts. Additionally, the Company offers cash management accounts which provide either automatic transfer of funds above a specified level from the customer’s checking account to a money market account or short-term borrowings. Also, an account reconciliation service is offered whereby the Company provides a computerized report balancing the customer’s checking account. Interest rates on deposits are set bi-monthly by the Bank’s rate-setting committee, based on factors including loan demand, maturities and a review of competing interest rates offered. Interest rate policies are reviewed periodically by the Executive Management Committee. 11 Century Bancorp, Inc.

The Bank’s borrowings from the FHLBB totaled $255,000,000, an increase of $60,000,000 from the prior year. The Bank’s remaining term borrowing capacity at the FHLBB at December 31, 2013, was approximately $423,143,000. In addition, the Bank has a $14,500,000 line of credit with the FHLBB. See Note 12, “Other Borrowed Funds and Subordinated Debentures,” for a schedule, their interest rates and other information. Subordinated Debentures In December 2004, the Company consummated the sale of a Trust Preferred Securities offering, in which it issued $36,083,000 of subordinated debt securities due 2034 to its newly formed unconsolidated subsidiary, Century Bancorp Capital Trust II. Century Bancorp Capital Trust II then issued 35,000 shares of Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities with a liquidation value of $1,000 per share. These securities pay dividends at an annualized rate of 6.65% for the first ten years and then convert to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.87% for the remaining 20 years. Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase The Bank’s remaining borrowings consist primarily of securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $214,440,000, an increase of $23,050,000 from the prior year. See Note 11, “Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase,” for a schedule, including their interest rates and other information. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Interest Income The Company’s operating results depend primarily on net interest income and fees received for providing services. Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased 0.04% in 2013 to $69,944,000, compared with $69,918,000 in 2012. The increase in net interest income for 2013 was mainly due to an 13.6% increase in the average balances of earning assets, combined with a similar increase in deposits. This was offset, somewhat, by prepayment penalties that were collected during the prior year. The level of interest rates, the ability of the Company’s earning assets and liabilities to adjust to changes in interest rates and the mix of the Company’s earning assets and liabilities affect net interest income. The net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis decreased to 2.21% in 2013 from 2.51% in 2012 and increased from 2.48% in 2011. The decrease in the net interest margin, for 2013, was primarily the result of a decrease in asset yields. The increase in the net interest margin for 2012 was primarily the result of prepayment penalties that were collected. The Company collected approximately $491,000, $3,253,000, and $158,000, respectively, of prepayment penalties, which are included in interest income on loans, for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Additional information about the net interest margin is contained in the “Overview” section of this report. Also, there can be no assurance that certain factors beyond its control, such as the prepayment of loans and changes in market interest rates, will continue to positively impact the net interest margin. Management believes that the current yield curve environment will continue to present challenges as deposit and borrowing costs may have the potential to increase at a faster rate than corresponding asset categories. 12 Century Bancorp, Inc.

AR ’13Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition The following table summarizes the year-to-year changes in the Company’s net interest income resulting from fluctuations in interest rates and volume changes in earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes due to rate are computed by multiplying the change in rate by the prior year’s volume. Changes due to volume Year Ended December 31, are computed by multiplying the change in volume by the prior year’s rate. Changes in volume and rate that cannot be separately identified have been allocated in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of each change. 2013 Compared with 2012 Increase/(Decrease) Due to Change in 2012 Compared with 2011 Increase/(Decrease) Due to Change in (dollars in thousands) Interest income: Loans Taxable Tax-exempt Securities available-for-sale: Taxable Tax-exempt Securities held-to-maturity: Taxable Interest-bearing deposits in other banks Total interest income Interest expense: Deposits: NOW accounts Savings accounts Money market accounts Time deposits Total interest-bearing deposits Securities sold under agreements to repurchase Other borrowed funds and subordinated debentures Total interest expense Change in net interest income Volume Rate Total Volume Rate Total $ 2,108 6,800 $ (3,877) (6,102) $ (1,769) 698 $ 622 5,675 $ (2,411) 549 $ (1,789) 6,224 (4,271) (28) 11,283 (127) (5,009) (54) (1,414) (18) 15,765 (16,474) 307 111 436 (442) 412 57 506 975 (195) 112 (337) (1,031) (1,451) (63) (196) (1,710) (9,280) (82) 9,869 (145) (709) 112 223 99 (1,473) (1,039) (6) 310 (735) 2,730 299 2,510 (202) 11,634 352 70 350 (1,156) (384) 113 586 315 (3,195) (104) (1,580) (282) (7,023) (506) (205) (683) (1,950) (3,344) (125) (72) (3,541) (465) 195 930 (484) 4,611 (154) (135) (333) (3,106) (3,728) (12) 514 (3,226) $ 14,790 $ (14,764) $ 26 $ 11,319 $ (3,482) $ 7,837 Average earning assets were $3,169,607,000 in 2013, an increase of $379,871,000 or 13.6% from the average in 2012, which was 11.5% higher than the average in 2011. Total average securities, including securities available-for-sale and securities held-to-maturity, were $1,810,431,000, an increase of 18.0% from the average in 2012. The increase in securities volume was mainly attributable to an increase in taxable securities. An increase in securities balances offset, somewhat, by lower securities returns resulted in higher securities income, which increased 1.7% to $30,132,000 on a fully tax equivalent basis. Total average loans increased 14.3% to $1,184,912,000 after increasing $87,413,000 in 2012. The primary reason for the increase in loans was due in large part to an increase in tax-exempt commercial real estate lending as well as residential first and second mortgage lending. The increase in loan volume was offset by a decrease in loan rates that resulted in lower loan income. Loan income decreased by 1.8% or $1,071,000 to $58,132,000. Total loan income was $54,768,000 in 2011. Prepayment penalties collected were $491,000, $3,253,000, and $158,000 for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The Company’s sources of funds include deposits and borrowed funds. On average, deposits increased 13.8%, or $323,432,000, in 2013 after increasing by 10.0%, or $213,322,000, in 2012. Deposits increased in 2013, primarily as a result of increases in demand deposits, savings, money market, and NOW accounts. Deposits increased in 2012, primarily as a result of increases in demand deposits, savings, money market and NOW accounts. Borrowed funds and subordinated debentures increased by 10.9% in 2013, following an increase of 18.4% in 2012. The majority of the Company’s borrowed funds are borrowings from the FHLBB and retail repurchase agreements. Average borrowings from the FHLBB increased by approximately $13,489,000, and average retail repurchase agreements increased by $29,264,000 in 2013. Interest expense totaled $18,805,000 in 2013, a decrease of $735,000, or 3.8%, from 2012 when interest expense decreased 14.2% from 2011. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to market decreases in deposit rates and continued deposit pricing discipline. Interest expense on time deposits accounted for a majority of this decrease. Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses was $2,710,000 in 2013, compared with $4,150,000 in 2012 and $4,550,000 in 2011. These provisions are the result of management’s evaluation of the amounts and quality of the loan portfolio considering such factors as loan status, collateral values, financial condition of the borrower, the state of the economy and other relevant information. The provision for loan losses decreased during 2013, primarily as a result of a lower level of charge-off activity and changes in the portfolio composition. The provision for loan losses decreased during 2012, primarily as a result of decreased provisions related to nonaccrual loans as well as management’s quantitative analysis of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses was $20,941,000 at December 31, 2013, compared with $19,197,000 at December 31, 2012. Expressed as a percentage of outstanding loans at year-end, the allowance was 1.66% in 2013 and 1.73% in 2012. The allowance for loan losses increased despite a decrease in the provision for 14 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition loan losses due to a lower level of charge-off activity combined with changes in the portfolio composition. Nonperforming loans, which include all non-accruing loans, totaled $2,549,000 on December 31, 2013, compared with $4,471,000 on December 31, 2012. Nonperforming loans decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in construction and residential real estate nonperforming loans. Other Operating Income During 2013, the Company continued to experience positive results in its fee-based services, including fees derived from traditional banking activities such as deposit-related services, its automated lockbox collection system and full- service securities brokerage supported by LPL Financial, a full-service securities brokerage business. Under the lockbox program, which is not tied to extensions of credit by the Company, the Company’s customers arrange for payments of their accounts receivable to be made directly to the Company. The Company records the amounts paid to its customers, deposits the funds to the customer’s account and provides automated records of the transactions to customers. Typical customers for the lockbox service are municipalities that use it to automate tax collections, cable TV companies and other commercial enterprises. Through a program called Investment Services at Century Bank, the Bank provides full-service securities brokerage services supported by LPL Financial, a full-service securities brokerage business. Registered representatives employed by Century Bank offer limited investment advice, execute transactions and assist customers in financial and retirement planning. LPL Financial provides research to the Bank’s representatives. The Bank receives a share in the commission revenues. Total other operating income in 2013 was $18,615,000, an increase of $2,750,000, or 17.3%, compared to 2012. This increase followed a decrease of $375,000, or 2.3%, in 2012, compared to 2011. Included in other operating income are net gains on sales of securities of $3,019,000, $1,843,000 and $1,940,000 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Service charge income, which continues to be a major source of other operating income, totaling $8,113,000 in 2013, increased $233,000 compared to 2012. This followed a decrease of $5,000 in 2012 compared to 2011. The increase in fees, in 2013, was mainly attributable to an increase in fees collected from processing activities as well as an increase in debit card fees, which was offset, somewhat, by a decrease in overdraft fees. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased during 2012. The decrease in fees was mainly attributable to a decrease in overdraft fees, which was offset, somewhat, by an increase in debit card fees and fees collected from processing activities. Lockbox revenues totaled $3,079,000, up $149,000 in 2013 following an increase of $160,000 in 2012. Other income totaled $2,583,000, down $32,000 in 2013 following a decrease of $7,000 in 2012. The decrease in 2013 was mainly attributable to a decrease in ATM fees. Operating Expenses Total operating expenses were $55,812,000 in 2013, compared to $53,238,000 in 2012 and $48,742,000 in 2011. Salaries and employee benefits expenses increased by $2,301,000 or 7.0% in 2013, after increasing by 11.2% in 2012. The increase in 2013 was mainly attributable to increases in staff levels, merit increases in salaries and increases in health insurance costs. The increase in 2012 was mainly attributable to increases in pension costs, staff levels, merit increases in salaries and increases in health insurance costs. The increase in pension costs in 2012 was mainly attributable to a decrease in the discount rate. Occupancy expense increased by $305,000, or 6.5%, in 2013, following an increase of $284,000, or 6.4%, in 2012. The increase in 2013 was primarily 15 attributable to an increase in rent expense, depreciation expense and building maintenance associated with branch expansion. The increase in 2012 was primarily attributable to an increase in rent expense and depreciation expense associated with branch expansion. Equipment expense increased by $43,000, or 1.9%, in 2013, following an increase of $20,000, or 0.9%, in 2012. The increase in 2013 and 2012 was primarily attributable to an increase in service contracts. FDIC assessments increased by $53,000, or 3.1%, in 2013, following a decrease of $288,000, or 14.2%, in 2012. FDIC assessments increased in 2013 mainly as a result of deposit growth. FDIC assessments decreased in 2012 mainly as a result of a decrease in the assessment rate. Other operating expenses decreased by $128,000 in 2013, which followed a $1,167,000 increase in 2012. The decrease in 2013 was primarily attributable to a decrease in contributions and marketing expense offset somewhat by an increase in software maintenance. The increase in 2012 was primarily attributable to an increase in contributions, software maintenance and marketing expense offset somewhat by a decrease in core deposit intangible amortization. Provision for Income Taxes Income tax expense was $1,007,000 in 2013, $1,392,000 in 2012 and $1,554,000 in 2011. The effective tax rate was 4.8% in 2013, 6.8% in 2012 and 8.5% in 2011. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2013 and 2012 was mainly attributable to an increase in tax-exempt interest income and tax credits as a percentage of taxable income. The federal tax rate was 34% in 2013, 2012 and 2011. Market Risk and Asset Liability Management Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit-taking activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. The Company’s profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact the Company’s earnings to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis. The Company monitors the impact of changes in interest rates on its net interest income using several tools. One measure of the Company’s exposure to differential changes in interest rates between assets and liabilities is an interest rate risk management test. This test measures the impact on net interest income of an immediate change in interest rates in 100-basis point increments as set forth in the following table: Change in Interest Rates (in Basis Points) Percentage Change in Net Interest Income(1) +400 +300 +200 +100 –100 –200 (18.3) % (13.2) % (8.0) % (4.4) % 1.4 % 1.0 % (1) The percentage change in this column represents net interest income for 12 months in various rate scenarios versus the net interest income in a stable interest rate environment. The Company’s primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s net interest income and capital, while structuring the Company’s asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure. The Company relies primarily on its asset-liability structure to control interest rate risk. Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity is provided by maintaining an adequate level of liquid assets that include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and other temporary investments. Liquid assets totaled $99,295,000 on December 31, 2013, compared with $169,650,000 on December 31, 2012. In each of these two years, deposit and borrowing activity has generally been adequate to support asset activity. The sources of funds for dividends paid by the Company are dividends received from the Bank and liquid funds held by the Company. The Company and the Bank are regulated enterprises and their abilities to pay dividends are subject to regulatory review and restriction. Certain regulatory and statutory restrictions exist regarding dividends, loans and advances from the Bank to the Company. Generally, the Bank has the ability to pay dividends to the Company subject to minimum regulatory capital requirements. Capital Adequacy Total stockholders’ equity was $176,472,000 at December 31, 2013, compared with $179,990,000 at December 31, 2012. The Company’s stockholders’ equity decreased primarily as a result of an increase in other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, and dividends paid, offset somewhat by earnings. Other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, increased as a result of an increase in unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale and securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity, offset, somewhat, by a decrease in the additional pension liability, net of taxes. Unrealized losses increased as a result of increases in interest rates. During the third quarter of 2013, $987,037,000 of securities available-for-sale with unrealized losses of $25,333,000 million were transferred to securities held-to-maturity. This was done in response to rising interest rates. The additional pension liability decreased mainly as a result of an increase in pension assets and decrease in the projected benefit obligation on the defined benefit pension plan. Federal banking regulators have issued risk-based capital guidelines, which assign risk factors to asset categories and off-balance-sheet items. The current guidelines require a Tier 1 capital-to-risk assets ratio of at least 4.00% and a total capital-to-risk assets ratio of at least 8.00%. The Company and the Bank exceeded these requirements with a Tier 1 capital-to-risk assets ratio of 13.67% and 12.66%, respectively, and total capital-to-risk assets ratio of 14.92% and 13.91%, respectively, at December 31, 2013. Additionally, federal banking regulators have issued leverage ratio guidelines, which supplement the risk-based capital guidelines. The minimum leverage ratio requirement applicable to the Company is 4.00%; and at December 31, 2013, the Company and the Bank exceeded this requirement with leverage ratios of 6.50% and 6.00%, respectively. Contractual Obligations, Commitments, and Contingencies Contractual Obligations and Commitments by Maturity The Company has entered into contractual obligations and commitments. The following tables summarize the Company’s contractual cash obligations and other (dollars in thousands) commitments at December 31, 2013. Payments Due—By Period CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS FHLBB advances Subordinated debentures Retirement benefit obligations Lease obligations Customer repurchase agreements Total contractual cash obligations OTHER COMMITMENTS Lines of credit Standby and commercial letters of credit Other commitments Total commitments Total $ 255,000 36,083 32,179 10,655 214,440 $ 548,357 Total $ 249,941 7,930 28,149 $ 286,020 Less Than One Year $ 53,000 — 2,200 2,070 214,440 $ 271,710 One to Three Years $ 74,500 — 5,026 3,499 — $ 83,025 Amount of Commitment Expiring—By Period Less Than One Year $ 24,287 7,631 7,301 $ 39,219 One to Three Years $ 96,589 69 1,700 $ 98,358 Three to Five Years $ 77,000 — 6,601 2,270 — $ 85,871 Three to Five Years $ 10,958 25 600 $ 11,583 After Five Years $ 50,500 36,083 18,352 2,816 — $ 107,751 After Five Years $ 118,107 205 18,548 $ 136,860 Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments primarily include commitments to originate and sell loans, standby letters of credit, unused lines of credit and unadvanced portions of construction loans. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these particular classes of financial instruments. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments, standby letters of credit and unadvanced portions of construction loans is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at December 31 are as follows: 16 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has presented a separate footnote (Note 13) as a result of this pronouncement. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. This ASU amends ASC 815 to allow entities to use the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate, in addition to U.S. Treasury rates and LIBOR, as a benchmark interest rate in accounting for fair value and cash flow hedges in the United States. This ASU also eliminates the provision from ASC 815-20-25-6 that prohibits the use of different benchmark rates for similar hedges except in rate and justifiable circumstances. This ASU is effective prospectively for qualifying new hedging relationship entered into on or after July 17, 2013, and for hedging relationship redesignated on or after that day. As of December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any fair value and cash flow hedges. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU provides guidance on financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) when a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The FASB’s objective in issuing this ASU is to eliminate diversity in practice resulting from a lack of guidance on this topic in current U.S. GAAP. Under this ASU, an entity must present a UTB, or a portion of a UTB, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset (“DTA”) for an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward except when: (a) an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available as of the reporting date under the governing tax law to settle taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position; (b) the entity does not intend to use the DTA for this purpose (provided that the tax law permits a choice). If either of these conditions exists, an entity should present a UTB in the financial statements as a liability and should not net the UTB with a DTA. New recurring disclosures are not required because the ASU does not affect the recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions under ASC 740. This amendment does not affect the amounts public entities disclose in the tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of UTBs because the tabular reconciliation presents the gross amount of UTBs. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those years. The amendments should be applied to all UTBs that exist as of the effective date. Entities may choose to apply the amendments retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. As of December 31, 2013, the Company did not have a UTB. Management will assess the applicability of this ASU after it becomes effective in the first quarter of 2014. Contract or Notional Amount 2013 2012 (dollars in thousands) Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk: Commitments to originate 1–4 family mortgages Standby and commercial letters of credit Unused lines of credit Unadvanced portions of construction loans Unadvanced portions of other loans $ 3,373 7,930 249,941 7,026 17,750 $ 13,580 8,411 217,246 17,609 4,872 Commitments to originate loans, unadvanced portions of construction loans and unused letters of credit are generally agreements to lend to a customer, provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The fair value of standby letters of credit was $69,000 and $36,000 for 2013 and 2012, respectively. Recent Accounting Developments In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU clarifies the scope of offsetting disclosure requirements in ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Under ASU 2013-01, the disclosure requirements would apply to derivative instruments accounted for in accordance with ASC 815, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements that are either offset on the balance sheet or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Entities with other types of financial assets and financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement also are affected because these amendments make them no longer subject to the disclosure requirements in ASU No. 2011-11. Effective January 1, 2013, companies are required to disclose (a) gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities; (b) gross amounts offset in the statement of financial position; (c) net amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the statement of financial position; (d) gross amount subject to enforceable master netting agreement not offset in the statements of financial position; and (e) net amounts after deducting (d) from (c). The disclosure should be presented in tabular format (unless another format is more appropriate) separately for assets and liabilities. The intent of the new disclosure is to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position and to allow investors to better compare financial statements prepared under GAAP with financial statements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The Company implemented the provisions of ASU 2011-11 as of January 1, 2013. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. 17 Century Bancorp, Inc.

AR ’13 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Century Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Century Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”). The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Century Subsidiary Investments, Inc. (“CSII”), Century Subsidiary Investments, Inc. II (“CSII II”), Century Subsidiary Investments, Inc. III (“CSII III”) and Century Financial Services Inc. (“CFSI”). CSII, CSII II, and CSII III are engaged in buying, selling and holding investment securities. CFSI has the power to engage in financial agency, securities brokerage, and investment and financial advisory services and related securities credit. The Company also owns 100% of Century Bancorp Capital Trust II (“CBCT II”). The entity is an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company provides a full range of banking services to individual, business and municipal customers in Massachusetts. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to the regulation and supervision of the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank, a state chartered financial institution, is subject to supervision and regulation by applicable state and federal banking agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks. The Bank is also subject to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon, and limitations on the types of investments that may be made and the types of services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Bank. In addition to the impact of regulation, commercial banks are affected significantly by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board as it attempts to control the money supply and credit availability in order to influence the economy. All aspects of the Company’s business are highly competitive. The Company faces aggressive competition from other lending institutions and from numerous other providers of financial services. The Company has one reportable operating segment. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are susceptible to change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on independent appraisals and review of other factors, including historical charge-off rates with additional allocations based on risk factors for each category and general economic factors. While management uses available information to recognize loan losses, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Certain reclassifications are made to prior-year amounts whenever necessary to conform with the current- year presentation. The Company follows FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (formerly SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,”) which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The three broad levels of the hierarchy are as follows: Level I — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The type of financial instruments included in Level I are highly liquid cash instruments with quoted prices, such as G-7 government, agency securities, listed equities and money market securities, as well as listed derivative instruments. Level II — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these financial instruments includes cash instruments for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, derivative instruments whose fair value has been derived using a model where inputs to the model are directly observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, and instruments that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. Instruments that are generally included in this category are corporate bonds and loans, mortgage whole loans, municipal bonds and over the counter (“OTC”) derivatives. Level III — These instruments have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Instruments that are included in this category generally include certain commercial mortgage loans, certain private equity investments, distressed debt, and noninvestment grade residual interests in securitizations as well as certain highly structured OTC derivative contracts. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include highly liquid assets with an original maturity of three months or less. Highly liquid assets include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and certificates of deposit. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, short-term investments include highly liquid certificates of deposit with original maturities of more than 90 days but less than one year. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost; debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling are classified as trading and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings; and debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of estimated related income taxes. The Company has no securities held for trading. Premiums and discounts on investment securities are amortized or accreted into income by use of the level-yield method. If a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of an investment is judged to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment is written down to fair value. The total amount of the impairment charge is recognized in earnings, with an offset for the noncredit component, which is recognized as other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are recognized on the trade date on a specific identification basis. 23 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The transfer of a security between categories of investments shall be accounted for at fair value. For a debt security transferred into the held-to-maturity category from the available-for-sale category, the unrealized holding gain or loss at the date of the transfer shall continue to be reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity but shall be amortized over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the amortization of any premium or discount. The amortization of an unrealized holding gain or loss reported in equity will offset or mitigate the effect on interest income of the amortization of the premium or discount for that held-to- maturity security. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) system, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLBB. Based on redemption provisions, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. At its discretion, the FHLBB may declare dividends on the stock. The Company reviews for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis of the stock. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the FHLBB reported preliminary net income of $212.3 million. The FHLBB also declared a dividend equal to an annual yield of 1.49%. As of December 31, 2013, no impairment has been recognized. LOANS HELD FOR SALE Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. LOANS Interest on loans is recognized based on the daily principal amount outstanding. Accrual of interest is discontinued when loans become ninety days delinquent unless the collateral is sufficient to cover both principal and interest and the loan is in the process of collection. Past-due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. Loans, including impaired loans, on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued, are designated nonaccrual loans. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, all income that has been accrued but remains unpaid is reversed against current period income, and all amortization of deferred loan costs and fees is discontinued. Nonaccrual loans may be returned to an accrual status when principal and interest payments are not delinquent or the risk characteristics of the loan have improved to the extent that there no longer exists a concern as to the collectibility of principal and interest. Income received on nonaccrual loans is either recorded in income or applied to the principal balance of the loan, depending on management’s evaluation as to the collectibility of principal. Loan origination fees and related direct loan origination costs are offset, and the resulting net amount is deferred and amortized over the life of the related loans using the level-yield method. Prepayments are not initially considered when amortizing premiums and discounts. The Bank measures impairment for impaired loans at either the fair value of the loan, the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. This method applies to all loans, uncollateralized as well as collateralized, except large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans such as residential real estate and consumer loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and loans that are measured at fair value. For collateral dependent loans, the amount of the recorded investment in a loan that exceeds the fair value of the collateral is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses in lieu of an allocation of a specific allowance when such an amount has been identified definitively as uncollectible. Management considers the payment status, net worth and earnings potential of the borrower, and the value and cash flow of the collateral as factors to determine if a loan will be paid in accordance with its contractual terms. Management does not set any minimum delay of payments as a factor in reviewing for impaired classification. Loans are charged-off when management believes that the collectibility of the loan’s principal is not probable. The specific factors that management considers in making the determination that the collectibility of the loan’s principal is not probable include the delinquency status of the loan, the fair value of the collateral, if secured, and, the financial strength of the borrower and/or guarantors. In addition, criteria for classification of a loan as in-substance foreclosure has been modified so that such classification need be made only when a lender is in possession of the collateral. The Bank measures the impairment of troubled debt restructurings using the pre-modification rate of interest. TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS Transfers of financial assets, typically residential mortgages and loan participations for the Company, are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets. ACQUIRED LOANS In accordance with FASB ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (formerly Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer”) the Company reviews acquired loans for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from the Company’s initial investment in the acquired loans to determine if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. If those differences are attributable to credit quality, the loan’s contractually required payments received in excess of the amount of its cash flows expected at acquisition, or nonaccretable discount, is not accreted into income. FASB ASC 310-30 requires that the Company recognize the excess of all cash flows expected at acquisition over the Company’s initial investment in the loan as interest income using the interest method over the term of the loan. This excess is referred to as accretable discount and is recorded as a reduction of the loan balance. Loans which, at acquisition, do not have evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination are outside the scope of FASB ASC 310-30. For such loans, the discount, if any, representing the excess of the amount of reasonably estimable and probable discounted future cash collections over the purchase price, is accreted into interest income using the interest method over the term of the loan. Prepayments are not considered in the calculation of accretion income. Additionally, the discount is not accreted on nonperforming loans. When a loan is paid off, the excess of any cash received over the net investment is recorded as interest income. In addition to the amount of purchase discount that is recognized at that time, income may include interest owed by the borrower prior to the Company’s acquisition of the loan, interest collected if on nonperforming status, prepayment fees and other loan fees. NONPERFORMING ASSETS In addition to nonperforming loans, nonperforming assets include other real estate owned. Other real estate owned is comprised of properties acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Other real estate owned is recorded initially at estimated fair value less costs to sell. When such assets are acquired, the excess of the loan balance over the estimated fair value of the asset is charged to the allowance for loan losses. An allowance for losses on other real estate owned is established by a charge to earnings when, upon periodic evaluation by management, further declines in the estimated fair value of properties have occurred. Such evaluations are based on an analysis of individual properties as well as a general assessment of current real estate market conditions. Holding costs and rental income on properties are included in current operations, while certain costs to improve such properties are capitalized. Gains and losses from the sale of other real estate owned are reflected in earnings when realized. 24 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s evaluation of the quality of the loan portfolio and is used to provide for losses resulting from loans that ultimately prove uncollectible. In determining the level of the allowance, periodic evaluations are made of the loan portfolio, which takes into account such factors as the character of the loans, loan status, financial posture of the borrowers, value of collateral securing the loans and other relevant information sufficient to reach an informed judgment. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to income and reduced by loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. Management maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on assessments of the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include the formula allowance, specific allowances, if appropriate, for identified problem loans and the unallocated allowance. Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. While management uses available information in establishing the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations. Loans are charged-off in whole or in part when, in management’s opinion, collectibility is not probable. The specific factors that management considers in making the determination that the collectibility of the loan’s principal is not probable include the delinquency status of the loan, the fair value of the collateral and the financial strength of the borrower and/or guarantors. For collateral dependent loans, the amount of the recorded investment in a loan that exceeds the fair value of the collateral is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses in lieu of an allocation of a specific allowance when such an amount has been identified definitively as uncollectible. The formula allowance evaluates groups of loans to determine the allocation appropriate within each portfolio segment. Individual loans within the commercial and industrial, commercial real estate and real estate construction loan portfolio segments are assigned internal risk ratings to group them with other loans possessing similar risk characteristics. Changes in risk grades affect the amount of the formula allowance. Risk grades are determined by reviewing current collateral value, financial information, cash flow, payment history and other relevant facts surrounding the particular credit. Provisions for losses on the remaining commercial and commercial real estate loans are based on pools of similar loans using a combination of historical net loss experience and qualitative adjustments. For the residential real estate and consumer loan portfolios, the reserves are calculated by applying historical charge-off and recovery experience and qualitative adjustments to the current outstanding balance in each loan category. Loss factors are based on the Company’s historical net loss experience as well as regulatory guidelines. Specific allowances for loan losses entail the assignment of allowance amounts to individual loans on the basis of loan impairment. Certain loans are evaluated individually and are judged to be impaired when management believes it is probable that the Company will not collect all the contractual interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. Under this method, loans are selected for evaluation based upon a change in internal risk rating, occurrence of delinquency, loan classification or nonaccrual status. A specific allowance amount is allocated to an individual loan when such loan has been deemed impaired and when the amount of a probable loss is able to be estimated on the basis of: (a) present value of anticipated future cash flows, (b) the loan’s observable fair market price or (c) fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The formula allowance and specific allowances also include management’s evaluation of various conditions, including business and economic conditions, delinquency trends, charge-off experience and other quality factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio. Management has identified certain risk factors, which could impact the degree of loss sustained within the portfolio. These include: (a) market risk factors, such as the effects of economic variability on the entire portfolio and (b) unique portfolio risk factors that are inherent characteristics of the Company’s loan portfolio. Market risk factors may consist of changes to general economic and business conditions that may impact the Company’s loan portfolio customer base in terms of ability to repay and that may result in changes in value of underlying collateral. Unique portfolio risk factors may include industry concentrations and geographic concentrations or trends that may exacerbate losses resulting from economic events which the Company may not be able to fully diversify out of its portfolio. The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows: Residential real estate — The Company generally does not originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80 percent. All loans in this segment are collateralized by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates, will have an effect on the credit quality in the segment. Commercial real estate — Loans in this segment are primarily income-producing properties. Also included are loans to educational institutions, hospitals and other non-profit organizations. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties are adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Management monitors the cash flows of these loans. Construction loans — Loans in this segment primarily include real estate development loans for which payment is derived from sale of the property as well as construction projects in which the property will ultimately be used by the borrower. Credit risk is affected by cost overruns, time to sell at an adequate price and market conditions. Commercial and industrial loans — Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer spending, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Land is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the terms of leases, if shorter. It is general practice to charge the cost of maintenance and repairs to operations when incurred; major expenditures for improvements are capitalized and depreciated. GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not subject to amortization. Identifiable intangible assets consist of core deposit intangibles and are assets resulting from acquisitions that are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on 25 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the segment (or “reporting unit”) level. Currently, the Company’s goodwill is evaluated at the entity level as there is only one reporting unit. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially recorded. Once goodwill has been assigned to reporting units, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or organically grown, are available to support the value of the goodwill. Goodwill impairment is evaluated by first assessing qualitative factors (events and circumstances) to determine whether it is more likely than not (meaning a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after considering all relevant events and circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test will be unnecessary. The first step, in the two-step impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, involves comparing each reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, applicable goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, there is an indication of impairment and the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment. SERVICING The Company services mortgage loans for others. Mortgage servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into loan servicing fee income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rates and terms. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual stratum, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the stratum. Changes in the valuation allowance are reported in loan servicing fee income. STOCK OPTION ACCOUNTING The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (formerly SFAS 123R) for all share-based payments, using the modified-prospective transition method. The Company’s method of valuation for share-based awards granted utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was also previously used for the Company’s pro forma information required under FASB ASC 718. The Company will recognize compensation expense for its awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award (straight-line attribution method), ensuring that the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant-date fair value of the award that is vested at that time. During 2000 and 2004, common stockholders of the Company approved stock option plans (the “Option Plans”) that provide for granting of options to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Class A common stock per plan. Under the Option Plans, all officers and key employees of the Company are eligible to receive nonqualified or incentive stock options to purchase shares of Class A common stock. The Option Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, whose members are ineligible to participate in the Option Plans. Based on management’s recommendations, the Committee submits its recommendations to the Board of Directors as to persons to whom options are to be granted, the number of shares granted to each, the option price (which may not be less than 85% of the fair market value for nonqualified stock options, or the fair market value for incentive stock options, of the shares on the date of grant) and the time period over which the options are exercisable (not more than ten years from the date of grant). There were options to purchase an aggregate of 20,375 shares of Class A common stock exercisable at December 31, 2013. On December 30, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the acceleration and immediate vesting of all unvested options with an exercise price of $31.60 or greater per share. As a consequence, options to purchase 23,950 shares of Class A common stock became exercisable immediately. The average of the high and low price at which the Class A common stock traded on December 30, 2005, the date of the acceleration and vesting, was $29.28 per share. In connection with this acceleration, the Board of Directors approved a technical amendment to each of the Option Plans to eliminate the possibility that the terms of any outstanding or future stock option would require a cash settlement on the occurrence of any circumstance outside the control of the Company. The Company uses the fair value method to account for stock options. All of the Company’s stock options are vested, and there were no options granted during 2013 and 2012. INCOME TAXES The Company uses the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under this method, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740. The Company classifies interest resulting from underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense in the first period the interest would begin accruing according to the provisions of the relevant tax law. The Company classifies penalties resulting from underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense in the period for which the Company claims or expects to claim an uncertain tax position or in the period in which the Company’s judgment changes regarding an uncertain tax position. TREASURY STOCK Effective July 1, 2004, companies incorporated in Massachusetts became subject to Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act, provisions of which eliminate the concept of treasury stock and provide that shares reacquired by a company are to be treated as authorized but unissued shares. 26 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has presented a separate footnote (Note 13) as a result of this pronouncement. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. This ASU amends ASC 815 to allow entities to use the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate, in addition to U.S. Treasury rates and LIBOR, as a benchmark interest rate in accounting for fair value and cash flow hedges in the United States. This ASU also eliminates the provision from ASC 815-20-25-6 that prohibits the use of different benchmark rates for similar hedges except in rate and justifiable circumstances. This ASU is effective prospectively for qualifying new hedging relationship entered into on or after July 17, 2013, and for hedging relationship redesignated on or after that day. As of December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any fair value and cash flow hedges. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU provides guidance on financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) when a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The FASB’s objective in issuing this ASU is to eliminate diversity in practice resulting from a lack of guidance on this topic in current U.S. GAAP. Under this ASU, an entity must present a UTB, or a portion of a UTB, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset (“DTA”) for an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward except when: (a) an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available as of the reporting date under the governing tax law to settle taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position; (b) the entity does not intend to use the DTA for this purpose (provided that the tax law permits a choice). If either of these conditions exists, an entity should present a UTB in the financial statements as a liability and should not net the UTB with a DTA. New recurring disclosures are not required because the ASU does not affect the recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions under ASC 740. This amendment does not affect the amounts public entities disclose in the tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of UTBs because the tabular reconciliation presents the gross amount of UTBs. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those years. The amendments should be applied to all UTBs that exist as of the effective date. Entities may choose to apply the amendments retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. As of December 31, 2013, the Company did not have a UTB. Management will assess the applicability of this ASU after it becomes effective in the first quarter of 2014. 2. Cash and Due from Banks The Company is required to maintain a portion of its cash and due from banks as a reserve balance under the Federal Reserve Act. Such reserve is calculated based upon deposit levels and amounted to $0 at December 31, 2013, and $9,608,000 at December 31, 2012. PENSION The Company provides pension benefits to its employees under a noncontributory, defined benefit plan, which is funded on a current basis in compliance with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and recognizes costs over the estimated employee service period. The Company also has a Supplemental Executive Insurance/Retirement Plan (“the Supplemental Plan”), which is limited to certain officers and employees of the Company. The Supplemental Plan is accrued on a current basis and recognizes costs over the estimated employee service period. Executive officers of the Company or its subsidiaries who have at least one year of service may participate in the Supplemental Plan. The Supplemental Plan is voluntary. Individual life insurance policies, which are owned by the Company, are purchased covering the life of each participant. REVISION OF EPS PRESENTATION The Company has determined that although the Class A and Class B common stock have different dividend rates, the Company had not applied the two-class method when calculating earnings per share (“EPS”) separately for the Class A and Class B common stock. This resulted in immaterial revisions to previously For the year ended reported basic EPS for Class A and Class B common stock and diluted EPS for December 31, 2011: the Class B common stock as summarized below: Basic EPS – Class A common As previously reported As revised Basic EPS – Class B common Diluted EPS – Class A common Diluted EPS – Class B common $ 3.01 $ 3.01 $ 3.01 $ 3.01 $ 3.68 $ 1.84 $ 3.01 $ 1.84 RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU clarifies the scope of offsetting disclosure requirements in ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Under ASU 2013-01, the disclosure requirements would apply to derivative instruments accounted for in accordance with ASC 815, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements that are either offset on the balance sheet or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Entities with other types of financial assets and financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement also are affected because these amendments make them no longer subject to the disclosure requirements in ASU No. 2011-11. Effective January 1, 2013, companies are required to disclose (a) gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities; (b) gross amounts offset in the statement of financial position; (c) net amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the statement of financial position; (d) gross amount subject to enforceable master netting agreement not offset in the statements of financial position; and (e) net amounts after deducting (d) from (c). The disclosure should be presented in tabular format (unless another format is more appropriate) separately for assets and liabilities. The intent of the new disclosure is to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position and to allow investors to better compare financial statements prepared under GAAP with financial statements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The Company implemented the provisions of ASU 2011-11 as of January 1, 2013. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. 27 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 3.

Also included in securities available-for-sale at fair value are securities pledged for borrowing at the Federal Home Loan Bank amounting to $12,214,000 and $220,313,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company realized gains on sales of securities of $3,019,000, $1,843,000 and $1,940,000 from the proceeds of sales of available-for-sale securities of $224,045,000, $294,881,000 and $75,615,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Debt securities of Government Sponsored Enterprises primarily refer to debt securities of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Amortized Cost Fair Value The following table shows the estimated maturity distribution of the Company’s securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2013. (dollars in thousands) Within one year After one but within five years After five but within ten years More than ten years Nonmaturing Total $ 36,942 180,676 238,822 7,597 1,906 $ 36,964 180,540 238,018 6,771 1,952 $ 465,943 $ 464,245 The weighted average remaining life of investment securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2013, was 5.1 years. The contractual maturities, which were used in the table above, of mortgage-backed securities, will differ from the actual maturities due to the ability of the issuers to prepay underlying obligations. Also, $415,692,000 of the securities are floating rate or adjustable rate and reprice prior to maturity. The Company transferred $987,037,000 of securities with unrealized losses of $25,333,000 from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity during 2013. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, management concluded that the unrealized losses of its investment securities are temporary in nature since they are not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers, and the Company does not intend to sell these debt securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost. In making its other-than-temporary impairment evaluation, the Company considered the fact that the principal and interest on these securities are from issuers that are investment grade. The change in the unrealized losses on the state and municipal securities and the nonagency mortgage-backed securities was primarily caused by changes in credit spreads and liquidity issues in the marketplace. The unrealized loss on U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises and U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises Mortgage Backed Securities related primarily to interest rates and not credit quality and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until recovery of fair value, which may be maturity. The Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. In evaluating the underlying credit quality of a security, management considers several factors such as the credit rating of the obligor and the issuer, if applicable. Internal reviews of issuer financial statements are performed as deemed necessary. In the case of privately issued mortgage-backed securities, the performance of the underlying loans is analyzed as deemed necessary to determine the estimated future cash flows of the securities. Factors considered include the level of subordination, current and estimated future default rates, current and estimated prepayment rates, estimated loss severity rates, geographic concentrations and origination dates of underlying loans. In the case of marketable equity securities, the severity of the unrealized loss, the length of time the unrealized loss has existed, and the issuer’s financial performance are considered. 28 Century Bancorp, Inc.

Included in the weighted average remaining life calculation at December 31, 2013, were $224,663,000 of U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises obligations that are callable at the discretion of the issuer. The actual maturities, which were used in the table above, of mortgage-backed securities, will differ from the contractual maturities due to the ability of the issuers to prepay underlying obligations. The Company transferred $987,037,000 of securities with unrealized losses of $25,333,000 from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity during 2013. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, management concluded that the unrealized losses of its investment securities are temporary in nature since they are not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers, and the Company does not intend to sell these debt securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of their remaining amortized costs. In making its other-than-temporary impairment evaluation, the Company considered the fact that the principal and interest on these securities are from issuers that are investment grade. The unrealized loss on U.S. Government Agency and Sponsored Enterprises Mortgage-Backed Securities related primarily to interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell any of these securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The Bank originates construction, commercial and residential real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, consumer, home equity and other loans for its portfolio. December 31, 2013 2012 (dollars in thousands) The following summary shows the composition of the loan portfolio at the dates indicated.

Net deferred fees included in loans at December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, were $174,000 and $369,000, respectively. The Company was servicing mortgage loans sold to others without recourse of approximately $109,301,000 and $26,786,000 at December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company had no residential real estate loans held for sale at December 31, 2013 and had $9,378,000 at December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s recorded investment in impaired loans was $7,788,000 and $5,925,000, respectively. If an impaired loan is placed on nonaccrual, the loan may be returned to an accrual status when principal and interest payments are not delinquent and the risk characteristics have improved to the extent that there no longer exists a concern as to the collectibility of principal and interest. At December 31, 2013, there were $6,723,000 of impaired loans with a specific reserve of $1,019,000. At December 31, 2012, there were $5,223,000 of impaired loans with a specific reserve of $1,732,000. Loans are designated as troubled debt restructures when a concession is made on a credit as a result of financial difficulties of the borrower. Typically, such concessions consist of a reduction in interest rate to a below-market rate, taking into account the credit quality of the note, or a deferment of payments, principal or interest, which materially alters the Bank’s position or significantly extends the note’s maturity date, such that the present value of cash flows to be received is materially less than those contractually established at the loan’s origination. Restructured loans are included in the impaired loan category. December 31, 2013 2012 2011 (dollars in thousands) The composition of nonaccrual loans and impaired loans is as follows: Loans on nonaccrual Loans 90 days past due and still accruing Impaired loans on nonaccrual included above Total recorded investment in impaired loans Average recorded investment of impaired loans Accruing troubled debt restructures Interest income not recorded on nonaccrual loans according to their original terms Interest income on nonaccrual loans actually recorded Interest income recognized on impaired loans $ 2,549 — 1,819 7,788 6,776 5,969 711 — 161 $ 4,471 — 2,878 5,925 7,043 3,048 753 — 180 $ 5,827 18 3,468 8,102 10,284 4,634 846 — 155 Directors and officers of the Company and their associates are customers of, and have other transactions with, the Company in the normal course of business.

When a loan is impaired, the Company measures impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, the Company measures impairment based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Loans are charged-off when management believes that the collectibility of the loan’s principal is not probable. The specific factors that management considers in making the determination that the collectibility of the loan’s principal is not probable include; the delinquency status of the loan, the fair value of the collateral, if secured, and the financial strength of the borrower and/or guarantors. For collateral dependent loans, the amount of the recorded investment in a loan that exceeds the fair value of the collateral is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses in lieu of an allocation of a specific allowance amount when such an amount has been identified definitively as uncollectible. The Company’s policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans is contained within Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” The following is information pertaining to impaired loans at December 31, 2013: Carrying Value Unpaid Balance Principal Required Reserve Average Carrying Value Interest Income Recognized (dollars in thousands) With no required reserve recorded: Construction and land development Commercial and industrial Commercial real estate Residential real estate Consumer Home equity $ 500 238 82 246 — — $ 3,292 268 82 259 — — Total $ 1,066 $ 3,901 With required reserve recorded: Construction and land development Commercial and industrial Commercial real estate Residential real estate Consumer Home equity $ 108 1,129 4,438 953 — 94 108 $ 1,371 4,527 1,035 — 94 $ $ $ — — — — — — — 12 367 417 129 — 94 $ — 361 132 169 — — $ 662 $ 1,371 902 2,868 878 — 95 Total $ 6,722 $ 7,135 $ 1,019 $ 6,114 Total Construction and land development Commercial and industrial Commercial real estate Residential real estate Consumer Home equity $ 608 1,367 4,520 1,199 — 94 $ 3,400 1,639 4,609 1,294 — 94 $ 12 367 417 129 — 94 $ 1,371 1,263 3,000 1,047 — 95 Total $ 7,788 $ 11,036 $ 1,019 $ 6,776 $ — 1 — — — — $ 1 $ 1 37 120 2 — — $ 160 $ 1 38 120 2 — — $ 161 34 Century Bancorp, Inc.

AR ’13Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 9. Fair Value Measurements The Company follows FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”), which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The three broad levels of the hierarchy are as follows: Level I — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The type of financial instruments included in Level I are highly liquid cash instruments with quoted prices such as G-7 government, agency securities, listed equities and money market securities, as well as listed derivative instruments. Level II — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these financial instruments include cash instruments for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, derivative instruments whose fair value have been derived using a model where inputs to the model are directly observable in the market, or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, and instruments that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. Instruments which are generally included in this category are corporate bonds and loans, mortgage whole loans, municipal bonds and OTC derivatives. Level III — These instruments have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Instruments that are included in this category generally include certain commercial mortgage loans, certain private equity investments, distressed debt, non-investment grade residual interests in securitizations, as well as certain highly structured OTC derivative contracts. Fair Value Measurements Using The results of the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2013, are as follows: Carrying Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Observable Inputs Significant (Level 1) (Level 2) Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) (dollars in thousands) Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis — Securities AFS U.S. Treasury U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises SBA Backed Securities U.S. Government Agency and Sponsored Enterprises Mortgage-Backed Securities Privately Issued Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Obligations Issued by States and Political Subdivisions Other Debt Securities Equity Securities Total Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis Impaired Loans $ 1,998 10,004 7,302 403,189 2,277 36,723 2,176 576 $ 464,245 $ — — — — — — — 286 $ 286 $ 1,998 10,004 7,302 403,189 2,277 416 2,176 — $ 427,362 $ — — — — — 36,307 — 290 $ 36,597 $ 1,747 $ — $ — $ 1,747 Impaired loan balances in the table above represent those collateral dependent loans where management has estimated the credit loss by comparing the loan’s carrying value against the expected realizable fair value of the collateral. Fair value is generally determined through a review process that includes independent appraisals, discounted cash flows, or other external assessments of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable. The Company discounts the fair values, as appropriate, based on management’s observations of the local real estate market for loans in this category. Appraisals, discounted cash flows and real estate tax assessments are reviewed quarterly. There is no specific policy regarding how frequently appraisals will be updated. Adjustments are made to appraisals and real estate tax assessments based on management’s estimate of changes in real estate values. Within the past twelve months there have been no updated appraisals, however, all impaired loans have been reviewed during the past quarter using either a discounted cash flow analysis or other type of real estate tax assessment. The types of adjustments that are made to specific provisions (credits) relate to impaired loans recognized for 2013 for the estimated credit loss amounted to $48,000. There were no transfers between level 1 and 2 for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis during the year ended December 31, 2013. 37 Century Bancorp, Inc.

Stockholders’ Equity DIVIDENDS Holders of the Class A common stock may not vote in the election of directors but may vote as a class to approve certain extraordinary corporate transactions. Holders of Class B common stock may vote in the election of directors. Class A common stockholders are entitled to receive dividends per share equal to at least 200% per share of that paid, if any, on each share of Class B common stock. Class A common stock is publicly traded. Class B common stock is not publicly traded; however, it can be converted on a per share basis to Class A common stock at any time at the option of the holder. Dividend payments by the Company are dependent in part on the dividends it receives from the Bank, which are subject to certain regulatory restrictions. STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN During 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reauthorization of the stock repurchase program. Under the program, the Company is reauthorized to repurchase up to 300,000, or less than 9%, of Century Bancorp Class A Common Stock outstanding. This vote supersedes the previous program voted by the Board of Directors during 2012, which also authorized the Company to repurchase up to 300,000, or less than 9%, of Century Bancorp Class A Common Stock. The stock buyback is authorized to take place from time-to-time, subject to prevailing market conditions. The purchases are made on the open market and are funded from available cash. STOCK OPTION PLAN During 2000 and 2004, common stockholders of the Company approved stock option plans (the “Option Plans”) that provide for granting of options for not more than 150,000 shares of Class A common stock per plan. Under the Option Plans, all officers and key employees of the Company are eligible to receive nonqualified and incentive stock options to purchase shares of Class A common stock. The Option Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, whose members are ineligible to participate in the Option Plans. Based on management’s recommendations, the Committee submits its recommendations to the Board of Directors as to persons to whom options are to be granted, the number of shares granted to each, the option price (which may not be less than 85% of the fair market value for nonqualified stock options, or the fair market value for incentive stock options, of the shares on the date of grant) and the time period over which the options are exercisable (not more than ten years from the date of grant). There were 20,375 options exercisable at December 31, 2013. December 31, 2013 December 31, 2012 December 31, 2011 Stock option activity under the plan is as follows: Shares under option: Outstanding at beginning of year Forfeited Exercised Outstanding at end of year Exercisable at end of year Weighted Average Exercise Price Amount 23,350 (1,350) (1,625) $ 31.17 26.68 26.76 20,375 $ 31.82 20,375 $ 31.82 Available to be granted at end of year 224,884 Weighted Average Exercise Price $ 28.90 22.50 24.82 $ 31.17 $ 31.17 Weighted Average Exercise Price $ 28.36 15.06 21.44 $ 28.90 $ 28.90 Amount 38,712 (200) (2,450) 36,062 36,062 223,084 Amount 36,062 (450) (12,262) 23,350 23,350 223,534 At December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the options outstanding have exercise prices between $15.06 and $31.83, and a weighted average remaining contractual life of one year for 2013 and two years for 2012 and 2011. The weighted average intrinsic value of options exercised for the period ended December 31, 2013, was $6.49 per share with an aggregate value of $10,548. The average intrinsic value of options exercisable at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 had an aggregate value of $29,136, $41,549 and $49,145, respectively. 43 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements CAPITAL RATIOS The Bank and the Company are subject to various regulatory requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank and Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank and Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank and Company’s assets and liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank and Company’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank and the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulation) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2013, that the Bank and the Company meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 2013, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table To Be Well Capitalized below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would cause a change in the Bank’s categorization. Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions For Capital Adequacy Purposes The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table: Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Actual Amount As of December 31, 2013 Total Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) Tier 1 Capital (to 4th Qtr.

Income Taxes 2013 The current and deferred components of income tax expense for the years (dollars in thousands) ended December 31 are as follows: Current expense: Federal 2012 2011 $ 3,520 416 $ 3,181 315 $ 2,198 309 State Total current expense 3,936 3,496 2,507 Deferred (benefit) expense: Federal State Total deferred benefit (2,564) (365) (2,929) (1,833) (271) (2,104) (961) 8 (953) Provision for income taxes $ 1,007 $ 1,392 $ 1,554 There were no penalties during 2011, 2012, or 2013. There was approximately $2,000 paid to the Internal Revenue Service for interest during 2012. Income tax accounts included in other assets/liabilities at December 31 are (dollars in thousands) as follows: Currently receivable Deferred income tax asset, net $ 702 30,857 $ 630 14,551 2013 2012 Total $ 31,559 $ 15,181 2013 2012 2011 Differences between income tax expense at the statutory federal income tax rate (dollars in thousands) and total income tax expense are summarized as follows: Federal income tax expense at statutory rates State income tax, net of $ 6,946 $ 7,158 $ 6,204 federal income tax benefit Insurance income Effect of tax-exempt interest Net tax credit Other 34 (380) (5,348) (572) 115 29 (396) (4,628) (633) 74 209 (396) (3,801) (683) 21 Total $ 1,007 $ 1,392 $ 1,554 Effective tax rate 4.8 % 6.8 % 8.5 % 45 2012 The following table sets forth the Company’s gross deferred income tax assets (dollars in thousands) and gross deferred income tax liabilities at December 31: Deferred income tax assets: Allowance for loan losses Unrealized losses on securities transferred $ 9,199 $ 8,103 2013 to held-to-maturity Deferred compensation Pension and SERP liability AMT credit Unrealized losses (gains) on securities available-for-sale Acquisition premium Nonaccrual interest Depreciation Investments writedown Deferred gain Other 8,590 6,515 4,880 3,164 — 5,643 8,621 1,908 652 438 136 109 26 — 198 (7,875) 541 151 (36) 26 11 235 Gross deferred income tax asset 33,907 17,328 Deferred income tax liabilities: Limited partnerships Mortgage servicing rights Gross deferred income tax liability (2,769) (281) (3,050) (2,722) (55) (2,777) Deferred income tax asset net $ 30,857 $ 14,551 Based on the Company’s historical and current pre-tax earnings, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the deferred income tax asset existing at December 31, 2013. Management believes that existing net deductible temporary differences which give rise to the deferred tax asset will reverse during periods in which the Company generates net taxable income. In addition, gross deductible temporary differences are expected to reverse in periods during which offsetting gross taxable temporary differences are expected to reverse. Factors beyond management’s control, such as the general state of the economy and real estate values, can affect future levels of taxable income, and no assurance can be given that sufficient taxable income will be generated to fully absorb gross deductible temporary differences. The Company is in an Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) credit position. The AMT credit is carried as a deferred asset and has an indefinite life. The Company has potential tax planning strategies available which support the deferred AMT credit and, at this time, no valuation allowance is needed. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal tax return. For the tax year beginning in 2009, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires a combined state tax return, except for security corporations, which file separate tax returns. The Company is subject to federal and state examinations for tax years after December 31, 2009. 17. Employee Benefits The Company has a Qualified Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the “Plan”), which had been offered to all employees reaching minimum age and service requirements. In 2006, the Bank became a member of the Savings Bank Employees Retirement Association (“SBERA”) within which it then began maintaining the Qualified Defined Benefit Pension Plan. SBERA offers a common and collective trust as the underlying investment structure for its retirement plans. The target allocation mix for the common and collective trust portfolio calls for an equity-based investment deployment range of 40% to 64% of total portfolio assets. The remainder of the portfolio is allocated to fixed income securities with target range of 15% to 25% and other investments including global asset allocation and hedge funds from 20% to 36%. Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Trustees of SBERA, through its Investment Committee, select investment managers for the common and collective trust portfolio. A professional investment advisory firm is retained by the Investment Committee to provide allocation analysis, performance measurement and to assist with manager searches. The overall investment objective is to diversify investments across a spectrum of investment types to limit risks from large market swings. The Company closed the plan to employees hired after March 31, 2006. The measurement date for the Plan is December 31 for each year. The benefits expected to be paid in each year from 2014 to 2018 are $1,092,000, $1,176,000, $1,247,000, $1,322,000, and $1,325,000, respectively. The aggregate benefits expected to be paid in the five years from 2019 to 2023 are $8,011,000. The Company plans to contribute $1,000,000 to the Plan in 2014. Asset Category Level 3 Percent Level 1 Level 2 Total (dollars in thousands) The fair value of plan assets and major categories as of December 31, 2013, is as follows: Collective funds Equity securities Mutual funds Hedge funds Short-term investments $ 17,092 8,355 4,250 2,256 369 52.9 % 25.9 % 13.1 % 7.0 % 1.1 % $ 856 8,355 3,832 — 249 100.0 % $ 32,322 $ 13,292 $ 16,236 — 418 — 120 $ 16,774 $ — — — 2,256 — $ 2,256 Asset Category Percent Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (dollars in thousands) The fair value of plan assets and major categories as of December 31, 2012, is as follows: Collective funds Equity securities Mutual funds Hedge funds Short-term investments LEVEL 1 52.5 % 24.6 % 14.1 % 7.0 % 1.8 % 100.0 % $ 12,593 5,892 3,370 1,691 437 $ 23,983 767 $ 5,892 3,086 — 62 $ 9,807 $ 11,826 — 284 — 375 $ 12,485 $ — — — 1,691 — $ 1,691 The plan assets measured at fair value in Level 1 are based on quoted market prices in an active exchange market. LEVEL 2 Plan assets measured at fair value in Level 2 are based on pricing models that consider standard input factors, such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data. LEVEL 3 Plan assets measured at fair value in Level 3 are based on unobservable inputs, which includes SBERA’s assumptions and the best information available under the circumstance. Level 3 assets consist of hedge funds. The underlying assets are valued based upon quoted exchange prices, over-the-counter trades, bid/ask prices, relative value assessments based on market conditions, and other information, as available. Further adjustments may be made based on factors impacting liquidity. The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Below is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. The Trust reports bonds and other obligations, short-term investments and equity securities at fair values based on published quotations, Collective funds and hedge funds (Funds) are valued in accordance with valuations provided by such Funds, which generally value marketable securities at the last reported sales price on the valuation date and other investments at fair value, as determined by each Fund’s manager. The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future values. Furthermore, although the Trust believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

AR ’13Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The performance of the plan assets is dependent upon general market conditions and specific conditions related to the issuers of the underlying securities. The Company has a Supplemental Executive Insurance/Retirement Plan (the Supplemental Plan), which is limited to certain officers and employees of the Company. The Supplemental Plan is voluntary and participants are required to contribute to its cost. Under the Supplemental Plan, each participant will receive a retirement benefit based on compensation and length of service. Life insurance policies, which are owned by the Company, are purchased covering the lives of each participant. The benefits expected to be paid in each year from 2014 to 2018 are $1,108,000, $1,088,000, $1,515,000, $1,973,000 and $1,981,000, respectively. The aggregate benefits expected to be paid in the five years from 2019 to 2023 are $10,341,000.

As part of the review, management in consultation with independent consulting actuaries performs an analysis of expected returns based on the plan’s asset allocation. This forecast reflects the Company’s and actuarial firm’s expected return on plan assets for each significant asset class or economic indicator. The range of returns developed relies on forecasts and on broad market historical benchmarks for expected return, correlation and volatility for each asset class. Also, as a part of the review, the Company’s management in consultation with independent consulting actuaries performs an analysis of discount rates based on expected returns of high-grade fixed income debt securities. The Company offers a 401(k) defined contribution plan for all employees reaching minimum age and service requirements. The plan is voluntary and employee contributions are matched by the Company at a rate of 33.3% for the first 6% of compensation contributed by each employee. The Company’s match totaled $322,000 for 2013, $308,000 for 2012 and $266,000 for 2011. Administrative costs associated with the plan are absorbed by the Company. The Company has a cash incentive plan that is designed to reward our executives and officers for the achievement of annual financial performance goals of the Company as well as business line, department and individual performance. The plan supports the philosophy that management be measured for their performance as a team in the attainment of these goals. Discretionary bonus expense amounted to $1,313,000, $1,289,000 and $1,100,000 in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The Company does not offer any postretirement programs other than pensions. 18. Commitments and Contingencies A number of legal claims against the Company arising in the normal course of business were outstanding at December 31, 2013. Management, after reviewing these claims with legal counsel, is of the opinion that their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. 19. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments primarily include commitments to originate and sell loans, standby letters of credit, unused lines of credit and unadvanced portions of construction loans. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these particular classes of financial instruments. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments, standby letters of credit and unadvanced portions of construction loans is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on- Contract or Notional Amount balance-sheet instruments. Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at December 31 are as follows: (dollars in thousands) 2013 2012 Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk: Commitments to originate 1–4 family mortgages $ 3,373 $ 13,580 Standby and commercial letters of credit 7,930 8,411 Unused lines of credit Unadvanced portions of construction loans Unadvanced portions of other loans 249,941 217,246 7,026 17,609 17,750 4,872 Commitments to originate loans, unadvanced portions of construction loans, unused lines of credit and unused letters of credit are generally agreements to lend to a customer, provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Year ended December 31, 2013 2012 2011 20.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of its financial instruments. Excluded from this disclosure are all non financial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. The assumptions used below are expected to approximate those that market participants would use in valuing these financial instruments. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, including estimates of timing, amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer. Such estimates do not consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In some cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate settlement of the financial instrument. Care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about our business, its value or financial position based on the fair value information of financial instruments presented below. SECURITIES HELD-TO-MATURITY The fair values of these securities were based on quoted market prices, where available, as provided by third-party investment portfolio pricing vendors. If quoted market prices were not available, fair values provided by the vendors were based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments in active markets and/or based on a matrix pricing methodology which employs The Bond Market Association’s standard calculations for cash flow and price/yield analysis, live benchmark bond pricing and terms/condition data available from major pricing sources. Management regards the inputs and methods used by third party pricing vendors to be “Level 2 inputs and methods” as defined in the “fair value hierarchy” provided by FASB. LOANS For variable-rate loans, that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts. The fair value of other loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Incremental credit risk for nonperforming loans has been considered. TIME DEPOSITS The fair value of time deposits was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that applies prevailing market interest rates for similar maturity instruments. The fair values of the Company’s time deposit liabilities do not take into consideration the value of the Company’s long-term relationships with depositors, which may have significant value. OTHER BORROWED FUNDS The fair value of other borrowed funds is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate used is estimated based on the rates currently offered for other borrowed funds of similar remaining maturities. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES The fair value of subordinated debentures is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate used is estimated based on the rates currently offered for other subordinated debentures of similar remaining maturities. The following presents (in thousands) the carrying amount, estimated fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. Financial assets Estimated for which the fair value approximates carrying value include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, FHLBB stock and accrued interest receivable.

AR ’13Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements LIMITATIONS Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the type of financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Bank’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no active market exists for some of the Bank’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, cash flows, current economic conditions, risk characteristics and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions and changes in the loan, debt and interest rate markets could significantly affect the estimates. Further, the income tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on the fair value estimates and have not been considered. 2013 Quarters Second Fourth Third First $ 19,137 4,592 14,545 750 13,795 4,434 13,465 4,764 288 4,476 $ 3,569,546 1,986,880 5,557,365 1,986,880 $ $ $ $ 0.98 0.49 0.81 0.49 Second First 22.

AR ’13Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm KPMG LLP Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Two Financial Center 60 South Street Boston, Massachusetts 02111-2759 The Board of Directors and Stockholders Century Bancorp, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Century Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Century Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Century Bancorp, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated February 20, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Boston, Massachusetts February 20, 2014 52 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm KPMG LLP Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Two Financial Center 60 South Street Boston, Massachusetts 02111-2759 The Board of Directors and Stockholders Century Bancorp, Inc.: We have audited Century Bancorp, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Century Bancorp, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, Century Bancorp, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Century Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, and our report dated February 20, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Boston, Massachusetts February 20, 2014 53 Century Bancorp, Inc. AR ’13 Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting CENTURY BANCORP, INC. 400 Mystic Avenue Medford, Massachusetts 02155 We, together with the other members of Century Bancorp, Inc. and our subsidiary (the “Company”), are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

I’m confident in the fact Assistant Vice Presidents that Century remains true to the founding principles that have guided our strategy for almost Valerie R. Bosse 45 years. As a family-run business, our belief that “character counts” has worked for us Cynthia A. Davidson since our inception and continues to pay dividends for our shareholders. The “giants” of our industry need to reflect on this principal too. It has become too commonplace that we are made aware of more incidents where they violated laws and regulations and as a result paid substantial fines, which at the end of the day dilutes stockholders’ equity. I’m grateful to our shareholders, as well as our associates and clients who have all played a role in the growth of Century. I look forward to prospering together in 2014 and the years ahead.
