To our many constituents, including shareholders, valued clients and other community members: 

As we look back on 2012, we find a year marked with many successes in our business. Ledyard  

continued to seek new ways of delivering the highest level of client service. We focused heavily on 

strengthening relationships and providing the type of banking experience that allows clients to plan 

well and live well. Financially, our business gained significant momentum in the second half of 2012. 

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Ledyard FinanciaL Group

It may have been over two decades since Ledyard Financial Group, Inc., opened its doors, but our 
employees are just as committed today to the same core values that launched our institution in 1991. 
Through our dedication to those long-standing principles of unparalleled personal service, strong  
relationships, value for our shareholders and continued investment in our employees, we strive every  
day to be the premier bank in the Upper Valley and Lake Sunapee Region. While 2012 continued to  
be a year full of rebuilding efforts for the economy, Ledyard was able to show excellent growth, ending 
the year on an optimistic note and positioning us for a strong 2013.

Some of the key shareholder relevant highlights were:

n  Grew revenue to over $20.4 million – a new high

n  Increased net income to $2.8 million

n  Increased earnings per share by $0.24 to $2.80 per share

n  Decreased non-performing assets by $3 million

n   Our regulatory capital ratios remained well in excess of the amount needed to be considered  

well-capitalized, the highest designation possible

n   Due to our strong financial position, Ledyard has been able to maintain or increase the  
quarterly dividend since first declaring one in 1995; in 2012, our dividend increased by  
$0.06 to $1.30 per share

Ledyard Financial Group’s full-year results reflect the strength of our two basic businesses:  
personal & business banking and wealth management. Both are discussed on the following pages.

Our goal, as the premier retail bank in our region, is delivering on  
our vision of client service every day. While we understand that our 
clients come to us for checking and savings accounts, mortgages, home 
equity loans or commercial loans, we strive to provide them with the 
intangibles that define a strong banking partnership – education, advice 
and guidance, based on well-defined 
relationships and insights. 

Shawn Bard, Assistant Vice  
President & Banking  
 Office Manager, Lebanon

As we regularly do, our leadership  
team carefully examined the bank’s 
short-term and long-term goals. Based 
on this review and analysis, we took 

actions that put us in a better position to succeed in a variety of  
important ways. We identified key product lines that required  
increased attention as we set out to grow assets, loans and core  
deposits. For example, we made several important adjustments 
to our mortgage process, recognizing the strong opportunity for 
growth this area represents. 

Doreen Holmes, Client 
Services Supervisor, Norwich

Focus on mortgages 
Every day we strive to provide our clients with the best possible advice 
and solutions that meet their mortgage financing needs. The team is 
led by Cathy Murray, our Senior Mortgage Banking Officer. Cathy has 
worked with Ledyard clients for more than eight years, identifying their 
goals and objectives in order to help them finance the perfect home. 
She has developed an unmatched level of expertise that, along with  
Ledyard’s local decision-making process, translates into an incredibly 
easy and fast experience for our clients.

Catherine E. Murray,  
 Vice President & Senior  
Mortgage Banking Officer

The Ledyard mortgage process is well defined and our clients can  
expect the following: 

n   Commitment to finding the best solutions for our clients and a promise to exhaust all efforts to 
match each client with the right mortgage solution for his or her needs; in order to do so, we  
listen to our clients carefully 

n   Proactive communication with our clients to ensure the service experience meets or exceeds  

their expectations 

n   Knowledge dissemination to our clients that educates them throughout the loan process 

To ensure that we could deliver on the above points, we created multiple initiatives to support  
mortgage growth and enhance the client experience. These efforts included the following: 

n   Spotlight on Realtors: An idea that originated from our “Spotlight on Business” program, we have 

partnered with local realtors to help them advertise their properties and their organizations through  
our in-branch displays and website.

n   Commitment sheet: This document, targeted to realtors as well as home buyers, defines our promise 
relative to how the mortgage process works, including what clients and realtors can expect from us. 
Our goal is to set a standard for a superior, streamlined experience.

n   Monthly surveys: Recognizing that the best way for us to enhance our service was to fully  

understand the things we needed to improve upon, we developed a monthly survey that engaged  
our mortgage clients to tell us how we have succeeded and how we have failed. The survey results 
are reviewed regularly and help guide the positive adjustments we make to our process. 

n   Additional staff: Accuracy and speed are crucial elements of a well-executed mortgage process.  

We hired an additional loan processor in order to ensure an  
outstanding client experience, even as loan volume increased.

While we’ve gone into some depth discussing our plans to jump 
further into the mortgage lending space, it’s clear that strengthening 
relationship banking, in general, is more important than ever. To  
that point, Ledyard has made great progress in establishing strong 
connections to clients. In the last year, the Bank has deepened its ties 
to many clients through direct deposit, electronic banking and mobile 
banking. Further, we just introduced a new mobile banking application 
for iPhone and Android devices that provides clients with a greater 
level of convenience to manage their banking activities. We are  
continuing this effort, seeking constant feedback to ensure that we 
excel at personalized high-touch client service.

 Jason Achmoody, CCLO, 
 Vice President & Commercial 
Relationship Manager

‘‘

Keene Medical Products first chose to do business with Ledyard Bank in 1999. At that time we 

were driven to conduct our business with a local bank which had roots in the Upper Valley. 

Ledyard Bank has continually proven that our efforts to bank locally with an Institution that 

has the same values as we do was truly a wonderful business decision. Throughout the years 

we have relied upon Ledyard for a commercial line of credit, term notes, mortgages as well as 

routine commercial banking needs. Jason Achmoody and all the staff at Ledyard have always 

been prompt, professional, courteous and very knowledgeable. We at Keene Medical are grateful 

for the opportunity to enjoy a commercial banking relationship with the wonderful staff that 

makes Ledyard a pleasure to do business with.

Recently Ledyard has provided services that allow for us to expand our base of operation into a 

20,000-square-foot facility. This facility will further allow us to change our operational business 

model to meet the ever-changing needs of our healthcare industry. Keene Medical Products is 

the leader in home medical equipment throughout all of Vermont and New Hampshire. With 

a  business partner like Ledyard Bank, we will continue to prosper and serve the needs of our 

customers well into the future.

Ledyard Business Banking had a year full of growth and excitement. As a business banking resource, the 
Ledyard team is always looking for new ways to bring our clients added value. One aspect of our model 
that we will always pursue is the desire to educate and advise our business clients on all aspects of their 
financial well-being and to develop long-term and meaningful relationships that are comprehensive  
and consultative.

Our business banking specialists work directly with clients to tailor a plan to meet their specific needs. 
We’re also members of the community, which means we have a unique understanding of the needs  
of local businesses and we’re accessible when they need us. In addition to our full line of business  
products and services, our Business Banking Team is trained to guide clients through the ups and  
downs of being a business owner. 

Spotlight on Commercial Client Relationships
In keeping with our tireless pursuit of excellence in client service, we are continually pushing ourselves to 
go that extra step, offer that extra product, service or insight. With that guiding principle in mind, we rolled 
out “Spotlight on Commercial Clients,” a key new initiative that promoted several of our commercial  
clients, while at the same time further defining our vision of client service, support and relationship banking. 

This new program was an opportunity for Ledyard to work with clients on a collaborative marketing 
effort that included local newspaper advertising, company banners on the Ledyard website, in-branch 
posters, special offers and more. This collaboration had a few important objectives and impacts. In  
addition to supporting clients with marketing assistance, we were able to deepen existing relationships 
as well as create new ones. The campaigns demonstrated commitment to helping the community thrive, 
reminded our neighbors that we are actively lending money and sent a positive message to other area 
businesses that we do more than just lend money.

Strengthening the Personal and Business Banking Teams
As we’ve stated many times in the past, our key to success is attracting and developing motivated,  
empowered and accountable employees across all departments. 2012 was a critical year in terms of new 
hires and promotions, resulting in stronger teams that position us for continued growth and success. 

Kevin Kober joined Ledyard as a Senior Vice President and Chief Retail Banking Officer, bringing over 
twenty-seven years of banking experience to a team that will benefit from his passion, creativity and 
client-centric view of banking. Kevin is responsible for managing Ledyard’s eight banking offices and 
for building stronger relationships with our retail clients. Additionally, Kevin will oversee the growth 
and development of our mortgage banking team, utilizing his past experience as a mortgage broker  
and keen understanding of the expectations for a seamless client experience. Prior to joining Ledyard, 
Kevin was a Senior Vice President and Manager of Retail Banking at The Connecticut Bank & Trust. 

Commercial Lending was bolstered significantly by the hiring of Reggie Greene as Senior Vice  
President and Senior Lending Officer. Another example of our commitment to staffing the best possible  
employees, Reggie’s well-timed arrival allowed the business banking team to focus more heavily on 
growing the commercial lending portfolio. As a graduate of the ABA Stonier Graduate School of 
Banking and a former Regional Manager of Commercial Banking at Merchants Bank, Reggie brings 
a breadth of experience and expertise, as well as a vision for the lending team that will help us cultivate 
new relationships, improve upon existing ones and establish an unparalleled level of care for our clients.

As the premier wealth management firm in the Dartmouth and Lake 
Sunapee Region, Ledyard Financial Advisors provides investment, 
tax and wealth management services to a diverse client base. We have 
clients in twenty-eight states and seven foreign countries. Our services 
are provided in person by the area’s largest and most experienced  
staff of advisors, accountants, analysts and portfolio managers utilizing 
a client-centric framework of wealth management issues.

Ledyard Financial Advisors understands that managing a client’s 
wealth is about balancing a wide array of concerns, ranging from 
financial planning and insurance to retirement planning and  
family gifting. Focusing on thirteen 
critical wealth issues, we ensure that 
our clients have a fully integrated  
plan that helps them achieve their 
ambitions. We then regularly

 Vice President, Director of Client  
Relations & Compliance Officer,

monitor that plan and meet with clients to ensure that goals are  
met. In essence, our mission entails helping clients cut through the 
marketplace clutter by offering a comprehensive, integrated approach 
that represents the highest standard of client advocacy, responsiveness 
and expert financial advice.

My wife, Chrysanthi, and I moved to Kendal in 2002, after living in Hanover for four decades. 

After years of working with a financial institution that was not based locally, we decided 

to move our trust account and utilize another firm – a local one that we could reach by 

walking down the street.  So we thought of Ledyard Financial Advisors, and were pleasantly 

surprised to find familiar faces, outstanding service and the continuation of several long-

standing relationships. We are delighted to be with trusted individuals who may be queried 

on a wide range of financial questions – for example, on the best way to help college-bound 

grandchildren: via custodial accounts or, as the Ledyard team informed us, by paying tuition 

bills directly to a college itself. All in all, we appreciate this personalized service that we 

discovered comfortably down the street.

Little has changed in terms of our relationships and ability to develop trust in the community,  
demonstrated by the fact that approximately 80% of the prospects who meet with us hire us. This  
type of belief in our abilities, from clients and prospects, is a prime contributor to our growth as we 
continue on the path to reaching a billion dollars in assets under management and custody. 

Strengthening the Wealth Management Group
We were thrilled to name Dennis Mitchell as our new leader of Ledyard Financial Advisors. Dennis 
was promoted to President of the Wealth Management division after having served as our Financial 
Advisors Business Development Officer for four years. His twenty-eight years of wealth management 
experience will steer the group in a direction marked by the highest level of client service, integrity  
and daily commitment to excellence. 

Ledyard Financial Advisors 2012 highlights include:

n   Generated $6.99 million in revenue, a record high

n   Grew assets under management and custody to $902 million

n   Added 39 clients, representing $73 million in additional assets

CLIENT SERVICE 

a ViSion oF cLienT SerVice

As we look back on another successful year, we see a period defined by great strides in terms of  
reaching client-focused goals. We turned our attention to creating resources and programs that support 
a true vision of client service, with each step being part of a larger plan. As we’ve been discussing,  
many of our 2012 achievements resulted, in part, from making these types of changes and improving 
our ability to serve clients. 

As we look to the future of banking and client service, we must recognize that the community banking 
model continues to change, adjusting to many factors, including technology. Given this observation, it 
is more critical than ever to develop a workforce that understands the needs of an ever-evolving client 
base. While our employees are always here to engage with clients face-to-face, we see more and more 
interaction becoming digital. Our employees will need to keep pace and excel at service through these 
types of channels, while still being equally capable of providing the high-touch interactions at our core. 

With this challenge before us, we hired Barbara Graf, our new Human Resources Director. With 
more than twenty years of experience creating, implementing and managing comprehensive human 
resources and organizational systems, we are confident that Barbara will help Ledyard attract and keep 
the most talented bankers and wealth managers in the area. Barbara has continued to foster the notion 
of promoting from within the organization whenever feasible. This approach provides recognition and 
incentive for strong performers, and creates opportunities for “Ledyard careers,” not just “Ledyard jobs.” 
Building upon this thought, Ledyard began a new program to recognize top-performing employees. 
Our annual Employee Recognition Awards are presented at an evening reception, recognize multiple 
categories and create a fun, positive environment in which to celebrate success, raise the bar for the 
coming year and establish models of achievement that can be emulated by other employees.

neW proFeSSionaL SerViceS Group

As we evaluated, tweaked and re-imagined our client service mantra in 2012, we looked to 2013 as the 
year to take our commitment to the next level by introducing a new division dedicated to Professional 
Services. Many years in the making, and as a natural extension of the client service model we have in 
place, this new service offering will allow us to build and strengthen ties to our clients while adding 
to our competitive advantage in the field. 

The business need for this group came out of a realization that we wanted a more comprehensive  
way to service some of our largest, most complex professional clients, many of whom have financial 
requirements that go well beyond the typical banking relationship and pertain to the specific needs  
of their profession, such as doctor, dentist, attorney, professor or entrepreneur.

The new team will be led by Dan Emanuele, a member of our Business Banking team since 2008.  
Dan has been a banking professional for twenty-five years, holding various responsibilities as a Portfolio 
Manager, Risk Manager, Private Banker and Commercial Lender. Under his leadership, the Professional 
Services group will establish a holistic approach to matching each client with the right products and 
services. Delivering an entirely seamless banking experience will begin with the Relationship Manager, 
who will become the client’s single point of contact to address virtually all of the client’s financial needs. 
Through a concierge approach, our Professional Services managers will be able to anticipate clients’ 
needs and match products and services appropriately and efficiently. 

The group will allow us to cater to the niche market of highly educated, highly motivated professionals  
who could work and live anywhere else in the world, but make the Upper Valley their home. They 
will deliver products and services with this fact in mind, making banking with us easier than ever and 
reinforcing their lifestyle choices.

COMMuNITy SuPPORT

We believe our relationship with clients and shareholders goes much further than our day-to-day  
interactions at the bank. As part of the community, we are committed to supporting and growing 
businesses and organizations that help the Upper Valley and the Lake Sunapee Region stay vibrant and 
successful. Through in-kind and cash donations, we help nonprofit organizations in the region succeed. 
Last year, we built on many of the successful programs we had in place from years past and were proud 
to add a few new ones to the list.

Upper Valley Haven
Ledyard spent part of 2012 putting in place a new community outreach project with the Upper Valley 
Haven. We are extremely excited to launch the program in 2013, noting that we are establishing a new 
way to support our most important local non-profit organizations. By “adopting” the Upper Valley 
Haven in 2013, we will accomplish the following: 

n   Food Drives: Food drives will be held throughout the year, or perhaps even drives for special need 

items such as warm clothing for winter. 

n   Volunteer Time: Each Ledyard employee is being given a block of time during the year to volunteer 
at the Haven, from cooking and serving a meal to organizing events, on- the -ground efforts in the 
Food Shelf & Clothing Room and more. 

n   Matching Donations: Ledyard will match financial donations made by our employees to the Haven.

n   Loan Program: Continuing our program from past years, Ledyard will make small loans, at no  
interest, to those at the Haven needing support to move forward in life. Many people come to  
the Haven and are struggling to choose between paying their utility bill or car payment. 

n   Individual Deposit Account (IDA) program: This new program will allow Haven visitors and guests 
to open a savings and checking account at Ledyard with no minimum balance and no fees. Once 
Haven visitors and guests have reached a specified dollar amount in their savings, Ledyard will  
make a one -time contribution to their account.

n   Financial Seminars: As education is important to our “Plan well. Live well.” mission, Ledyard will  
also offer financial literacy seminars, such as FDIC programs like “Savings Makes Sense,” for those 
who are financially constrained. 

Leading Women Seminars
In 2012, Ledyard continued support of women in business with our regularly scheduled seminar 
program. Based on the “Plan well. Live well.” concept, the program offers a unique forum for women 
in the community to learn from and interact with speakers, panelists and each other. Some 2012 topics 
included:

n   2012 and Beyond: Propelling Your Business Forward – State Directors of Vermont and New  

Hampshire Small Business Development Centers discuss programs available to small business owners

n   Demystifying Online Marketing: Identifying and Capitalizing on Opportunities to Grow Your  

Business Using the Web – How the Web can work for small business owners to find new prospects 
and clients

n   Addressing Conflict in the Workplace: When to Listen, How to Explain, What to Yield, and Why 
to Stand Firm – How women handle workplace conflict, including tools that can turn conflicts  
into opportunities to create value

Ledyard Financial Advisors Seminars
In addition to our focus on internal education, we also work to make our clients more informed 
partners in our journey together, as we can provide the greatest value to and maintain the strongest 
relationships with those who are most financially informed. Therefore, Ledyard develops and conducts a 
number of public seminars each year focused on the critical financial issues of the day. The majority of 
the seminars are crafted and presented by our own employees, drawing upon their significant expertise. 
Occasionally, we offer seminars in partnership with external colleagues that are experts in their fields 
and that complement material covered in earlier presentations. In 2012, we conducted thirteen financial 
seminars, reaching nearly 600 community members on topics ranging from “Talking to Your Adult 
Children about Money” and “Appraisals & Investing in Art” to “Global Investing” and “Protecting  
Your Loved Ones.”

LOOKING AHEAd TO 2013

As we look to 2013, we are optimistic that Ledyard is well positioned for continued success. With  
“Plan well. Live well.” as our compass, we move into the new year with a clear mission and a plan in 
place for continued growth.

Going forward, our strategic plan will address the following objectives: 

n   Further establish a strong reputation in the Upper Valley and Lake Sunapee Region, offering a  

wide range of products and services to our clients

n   Continue to provide the premier wealth management services in the region

n   Continue to grow market share relative to our key banking products, ranging from checking  

accounts and home equity lines of credit to mortgages and IRAs 

n   Continue to improve metrics for growth, profitability and a strong risk profile

n   Further enhance the skills of our employees to meet and exceed the ever-changing needs of  

our clients

n   Continue to build a culture that makes Ledyard a preferred local employer

n   Manage compliance by adding resources where applicable to meet the rising demands  

of regulators

We thank our shareholders, clients, employees and board members for their trust and support,  
and we look forward to strengthening those partnerships in 2013.
