To Our Family of EMPLOYEES, CUSTOMERS AND SHAREHOLDERS

U

nivest has always faced the
future with optimism and
confidence. No matter what
economic and business

conditions we face, we believe our
future is bright and we believe the
strength and stability built during our
133-year history will sustain our
business even in challenging times.

“Univest’s growth during

a historic economic

downturn speaks to our

solid core operations

and our integrated

platform of solutions.“

The year 2009 presented Univest’s
employees, customers, shareholders
and communities with the biggest
financial challenges of our
generation. Throughout the year,
the economic recession worsened,
the jobless rate reached the highest
level in 26 years and foreclosures
continued at a record pace. It wasn’t
easy to instill a sense of security
during a time of negative economic
reports, long-time competitors
experienced financial difficulty and
record numbers of banks failed –
140 in 2009.

Nevertheless, we are confident and
remain focused on achieving our
vision and carrying out our
disciplined business approach with
our Core Values top-of-mind. As a
result, we ended the year with solid
performance compared to our peers.
As of December 31, 2009, we
reported net income of $10.8
million. Univest’s growth during a
historic economic downturn speaks to
our strong core operations and our
integrated platform of financial
solutions. We continued to grow

WE Believe.

while keeping our commitment to
support our local economy by
investing in our local communities.
And, we were pleased to share our
financial success with our loyal
shareholders through our quarterly
dividends. We are in a position of
strength and are poised to respond
offensively to the market disruption,
seize opportunities to continue
building our corporation and control
our destiny.

We are well-positioned to build our
business in part due to our strong
focus on capital. On July 14,
Univest completed a shelf filing to
lay the groundwork for our historic
capital raise, which commenced on
August 3. The stock offering was
completed on August 12, after
3,392,500 shares of common stock
were sold. The net proceeds of the
offering after deducting underwriting
discounts, commissions and expenses
was $55.6 million. Univest
Corporation intends to use the net
proceeds from the offensive offering
for general corporate purposes to
ensure the corporation’s long-term
financial health and independence.

We are proud of our
accomplishments and ability to
overcome the challenges facing our
nation, our industry and our
communities. We have remained a
leader and we’ve done so with a sense
of commitment, upholding our
strong traditions and believing in our
employees, customers, shareholders
and communities. We anticipate new
challenges and opportunities will arise
over the next 12 months as our
nation works through an economic
recovery. We understand the road
will be long, but we believe by
staying the course and using our
Mission, Vision and Core Values as
our guides, we’ll face whatever the
future brings with confidence. On
behalf of the entire Univest family, we
want to thank you for your continued
support and investment.

Sincerely,

Senior Relationship Managers and a
Senior Credit Officer in the Lehigh
Valley, but we also increased our
support for these communities by
partnering with well-known local
organizations to demonstrate our
commitment to these regions and
elevate the Univest brand.

Increasing our visibility in our
markets through an extensive brand
campaign was an important priority in
2009. As industry challenges
increased and disruptions among local
financial institutions caused many
people to consider changing banks,
Univest National Bank’s visibility and
reputation as a dependable, service-
oriented community bank positioned
us well to gain new market share.
Consumers, businesses and nonprofit
organizations throughout our
marketplace discovered our ability
to do more than provide loans.
They experienced our ability to get
behind our customers and
demonstrate our belief in them and
our commitment to help them
achieve their financial dreams.

Our solid record of achievement in
2009 reflects the value of our greatest
asset – our employees. This past year,
they rose to the challenge of growing
the business by demonstrating an
uncommon drive to succeed. While
many businesses were forced to cut
back on staffing levels, we expanded
our employee base to support the
needs of our growing lines of

business. Together, our employees
delivered integrated financial
solutions and provided exceptional
service to our customers. In the
process, they continued building a
stronger organization. Through our
employees’ efforts, Univest was
recognized for the fourth consecutive
year as a Best Place to Work in
Pennsylvania. We also were honored
by the Central Bucks Chamber of
Commerce with the 2009 Lifetime
Achievement Award in Business and
by the Philadelphia Business Journal
with the 2009 Corporate
Philanthropy Award.

Two of our great leaders retired from
the Board of Directors in 2009 after
decades of service to Univest and our
communities. Merrill S. Moyer and
Norman L. Keller were not only
devoted members of the Board of
Directors, but had also been long-
time employees, serving in executive
leadership roles for many years. Their
contributions, vision and strategic
direction helped Univest grow and
evolve into a strong, stable
organization. I want to take this
opportunity to recognize them and
thank them again for their dedicated
service. Following these retirements,
H. Paul Lewis and Mark A. Schlosser,
past Alternate Directors, became
Directors, and K. Leon Moyer and
Douglas C. Clemens were appointed
Alternate Directors.

Believe.

THE POWER OF BELIEVING

Throughout 2009, as many financial institutions, corporations and

individuals turned to the government for assistance in climbing out

of the worst recession in recent memory, Univest showed its

resilience and resolve – working with our shareholders, employees

and communities to create a stronger, more secure future. While

many banks were bought, sold, merged or bailed out, Univest

“Believed” in our focused and disciplined business philosophy and

our integrated financial solutions model. And, we believed in our

most

important

stakeholders: our

shareholders, employees,

customers and communities. We remained true to our core values,

and we emerged from a challenging year poised to take advantage of

future opportunities.

HIGHLIGHTS Building Shareholder Value, Believing in Our Future

I

n a sign of the times, some
financial institutions marked
2009 a success simply because
they were profitable during
every fiscal quarter of the year.
While Univest can claim this
distinction too, our sights were set
much higher. Our intent was not
just to survive what soon became
known as “The Great Recession,”
but to thrive in the difficult
economic environment and
seize the opportunities so many
other financial institutions could
not grasp.

Univest began the year by building
on the strength of two late-2008
acquisitions: Liberty Benefits, Inc.,
a full-service employee benefits
brokerage and consulting firm; and
Trollinger Consulting Group, an
independent actuarial, administrative,
consulting/compliance and
investment counseling firm serving
municipal pension plan clients.
Liberty Benefits enabled us to take
advantage of the most robust
segment of the insurance industry –
the fast-growing employee benefits
market. Trollinger Consulting
Group helped us expand our
investments offerings further into a
profitable niche. Both acquisitions
performed well in 2009 and
provided Univest with additional
services to build top line revenue
and complement our strong array of
integrated financial solutions.

The Trollinger acquisition became a
key component of Univest’s entry
into the Lehigh Valley market,
where we expanded operations by
successfully recruiting three
additional officers. We also added to
our human capital in Chester
County and, significantly, in our
new Mortgage Banking business.
Established in November 2008, this
business grew impressively in 2009,
benefiting from strong demand for
refinancing in a low interest rate
environment. This new venture was
one of Univest’s biggest 2009
success stories.

The corporation’s single most
significant event of the year
occurred in August when the
company completed a historic public
offering of 3,392,500 shares of
common stock. The proceeds of the
offering netted $55.6 million,
enabling us to continue pursuing
our strategy of growing organically
and by acquisition, ensuring the
corporation’s long-term financial
health and independence. Univest
initiated the capital raise from a
position of strength, further
bolstering our already well-
capitalized position. In fact, Univest
remains one of the mid-Atlantic
region’s best capitalized financial
institutions, highlighting the success
of our steady, focused business
philosophy and growth strategies.

Many financial institutions
struggled with their asset quality
throughout 2009. Univest tackled
this challenge head on and worked
with our customers to ameliorate
the effects of past due loans, non-
accrual loans and non-performing
loans. While we were not immune
to asset quality challenges during
the year, we outperformed most
banks in our peer group and
throughout the industry. Univest’s
determination to strengthen the
business for the long term
prompted us to work even more
closely with our customers in
order to help their businesses
overcome these tough times. We
believe by doing so we are
ensuring more loyal, long-lasting
relationships with our customers
and communities.

In order to attract more customers,
Univest continued to prospect for
new business in traditional and
nontraditional ways – both within
and outside our four-county service
area. UnivestDirect, the online
channel of Univest National Bank
and Trust Co., has become our
fastest growing source of deposits,
drawing customers from all 50
states. And, through Univest’s
Onsite CheckPass®, businesses can
remotely deposit their check items
at their convenience from their
office computers.

Two complementary branding
campaigns initiated in 2009 set
Univest apart from our competitors,
highlighting key Univest
differentiators. The “Dream Big”
campaign, introduced during a high-
profile media schedule, encouraged
consumers to “Never underestimate
the power of someone believing in
you,” and positioned Univest as
the financial partner that “believes
in your dreams.” We extended the
campaign through the “Dream Big
Sweepstakes,” in which one
person’s dream was granted with a
$2,500 check. The contest had a
heart-warming conclusion when
the Sweepstakes winnings were
awarded to an East Greenville
family struggling with a terminally
ill family member.

The “Believe in Local” campaign,
designed to attract new customers –
especially those who had banking
relationships with Univest
competitors – encouraged consumers
to bank with Univest, soon to be the
largest locally owned community
bank in our market. While the
campaign was introduced in 2009
and extended into 2010, Univest
has long understood the importance
of supporting our local communities.
We continued to live out our
Mission Statement by believing in
the citizens and businesses in our
marketplace and doing our part
to help our local communities
remain vibrant.

Believing in Our Customers
and Communities – The
Univest Way

Part of Univest’s “Dream Big”
campaign was a month-long effort
to give back to the community
through “Random Acts of
Kindness.” Thirty-two Univest
employees called “The Dream
Team” visited local retail businesses
and shopping centers to surprise
community members by paying for
their shopping trip, lunch or a cup of
coffee. Not infrequently, the
surprised recipient paid the random
act of kindness forward by offering
to pay for a friend’s or neighbor’s
groceries or a service station
customer’s gasoline. Such acts by
fellow community members
demonstrated how, as the largest
locally owned community bank in
the area, Univest’s belief in others is
completely in synch with the values
of our communities.

“Believing in our customers and
communities” is a powerful, new
way of expressing important facets of
Univest’s corporate culture. Our
Mission Statement challenges us to
be a “strong, influential leader in the
markets we choose to serve” and to
“maintain an active role in our
communities.” And, among our
Core Values are “tradition” and
“community” – traits which certainly
bespeak a belief in those with whom
we work and whom we serve.

Perhaps the most important way we
believed in our customers and
communities in 2009 was by
continuing to lend to our corporate
and individual customers. While
Wall Street was in upheaval, our
Main Street community bank
proactively and judiciously managed
credit quality and remained focused
on building a stronger future – for
our shareholders, employees,
customers and communities.

In a recessionary economy, many
Univest customers and members of
our communities were looking for
advice and counsel from a trusted
financial partner. Through our
financialSEN$E literacy program,
we hosted financial seminars and
provided tips in our financial service
centers, online and through the
news media.

We supported our communities in
much more visible ways, too. The
Univest Grand Prix remains our
signature community event, and has
become one of the most popular
and highly anticipated annual
showcases of our communities. In
2009, while many similar corporate-
sponsored events were cancelled or
scaled back, Univest showed our
confidence in the future and
commitment to our communities by
expanding the Univest Grand Prix

In 2009, we continued

our financial support

of more than 300

not-for-profits, while

our employees served in

hundreds of volunteer

positions with

local organizations.

Employees and community members
volunteer during the United Way’s “Days
of Caring”

to include a third day of racing. We
added an Allentown team time trial
stage on Friday, September 11,
boosting the race’s excitement and
helping to extend our presence into
the Lehigh Valley. On Saturday, the
12th annual running of the most
prestigious UCI Pro/Am road race
in the United States, the 100-mile
Univest Grand Prix, was held along
the main streets and byways of
Montgomery County. And, on
Sunday, the three-day festival
concluded with the Univest Grand
Prix Doylestown Criterium.
Thousands of race fans lined the
streets for the three stages of the
event, and live television coverage
was provided by WFMZ Channel
69, NBC affiliate Universal Sports
and Comcast SportsNet.

Charitable giving, coupled with
community involvement, have long
been hallmarks of the Univest
culture. In 2009, we continued our
financial support of more than 300
not-for-profits, while our employees
served in hundreds of volunteer
positions with local organizations.
Even in a challenging economic
environment, Univest and our
employees actively demonstrated a
belief in our communities and the
well-being of our neighbors through
a record-setting response to the
annual United Way campaign.

Where “Believing” Starts:
Univest Employees

The relationship between Univest
and our employees is symbiotic.
Our employees are the
corporation’s most important
ambassadors – the faces our
customers and communities come
to know and trust. Day in and
day out, they are what makes
Univest’s belief in our
communities come to life. Univest
nourishes this relationship with
employees by believing in them;
providing a stable and safe work
environment; compensating them
fairly; and encouraging and
enabling career growth.

While Univest also experienced the
challenges created by the historic
economic downturn, we remained
invested in the talent and
experience of our employees for
the long term. Many banks
implemented salary reductions,
reductions in hours, layoffs and
the elimination or limitations on
401k matching dollars to boost
earnings. Univest's approach to
business recognizes our employees
as our most important asset. We
realize the challenges of 2009
will likely extend into 2010, but
we also believe the challenges
are temporary – and Univest is
depending on our sound
business practices, our integrated
platform of product offerings – and

10

WE Believe.

our dedicated employees – to help us
weather the storm and to prepare us
for the opportunities ahead.

In 2009, we invested in our
employees’ futures – and our own –
by continuing our pension plan and
encouraging employees to continue
their education and training with
our financial assistance. We bucked
the trend toward workforce
downsizing and instead took
advantage of opportunities to add
seasoned professionals to our
employee base.

Attracting top talent across the
industry has been made easier with
our consistent recognition as a Best
Place to Work. For the fourth
straight year, Univest was named
among the Best Places to Work in
Pennsylvania – again ranking
among the state’s 10 best large
companies. Our employees’ efforts
made this honor possible, and the
distinction doesn’t just benefit
them. Our shareholders and
communities benefit from a
workplace run efficiently and
served by employees who are
happy, knowledgeable and
motivated to consistently provide a
quality experience. While times are
challenging and it would be easy
for employee morale to decline, it
is encouraging – and a source of
great pride – to know our
employees believe Univest has a
bright future.

What We Believe

What will the economy bring in 2010? Some economists predict continued,
significant economic challenges through the third or fourth quarter – even
into 2011. Others proclaim America has seen the worst of the recession and
we are on the rebound.

What do we believe? No matter what challenges lie ahead…

• We believe in controlling our own destiny and remaining independent by

maintaining a strong capital position.
