Many uncertainties remain as the economic crisis – which according to economists began in 2008 – slowly shows signs of recovery. While many banks concentrated on rebuilding their business and regaining their independence, Univest Corporation approached 2010 with confidence in a focused and disciplined business model which has served us well since 1876. Our sustainable approach enabled us to operate from a position of strength, maintaining our independence, demonstrating our stability and executing our organizational vision. We believe the road to recovery will be slow, but are confident it will also provide new opportunities to fuel our short-term and long-term strategies for the benefit of our employees, customers, shareholders and communities. As we reflect on our 2010 performance and highlights, we realize the value of our prudent philosophy and believe a bright future lies ahead. 4 times. This was validated by favorable performance in comparison to our peer group and across the industry. We were able to do this while sharing our success with our shareholders through consistent quarterly dividends, our employees through fair salaries and benefits, our customers through new convenient solutions and our communities through financial and volunteer support. In 2010, we built upon the momentum created in 2009 by investing once again in the Univest brand to raise awareness and position ourselves to seize market share. As the market experienced intense disruption, we positioned Univest as the strong, stable and local choice. The “Believe in the Power of Local” messaging was executed through a variety of campaigns including outdoor, radio, online, event-based and print advertising. Our brand efforts attracted new customers and built loyalty with existing customers. 2 0 1 0 H I G H L I G H T S : C o n t i n u i n gg TT rr aa dd ii tt ii oo nn ss aa nn dd II nn vv ee ss tt ii nn gg ii nn oo uu rr FF uu tt uu rr ee 2 0 1 0 ANNUAL REPORT The strength of our business coupled Second to a solid capital position, on our consumer segment.
