I have appreciated every opportunity afforded me and have enjoyed the countless friendships I developed through the years. I have been blessed, and I have the Univest family to thank for it.

PRESENT. FUTURE. Ref lections on a 42-year Career and Insights into the Future It has been an honor to be a part of this company for the past 42 years. When I started as a management trainee in 1971, Univest had $70,488,775 in total assets, operated 10 offices and our services were limited to traditional banking solutions. Four decades later, it is amazing how our business has changed. In addition to significantly growing the company and our assets, we have evolved the business from a community bank to a fully integrated financial solutions company. For the last 13 years, we have invested in diversifying the William S. Aichele business and building a complete suite of financial solutions. Today, Univest Corporation is steadily progressing toward our vision “to be the best integrated financial solutions provider in the market.” Our success – through both good and challenging times – is a result of our focused approach to managing the business. We remain disciplined – using our mission and core values as guides – and we continue to actively seek ways to offer competitive, convenient solutions to meet the growing needs of our customers. I have appreciated every opportunity afforded me and have enjoyed the countless friendships I developed through the years. I have been blessed, and I have the Univest family to thank for it. There are not many retirees who can reflect on a 42-year career with one company. The people I worked with and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others is what kept me excited to come to work every day. It has been a distinct pleasure to help individuals fulfill their financial dreams and mentor employees as they established their careers with Univest. Univest is a special place. We have a culture of excellence, a commitment to developing lasting relationships and a passion for putting other people’s needs before our own. Many of you know I am passionate about serving our community, and I will continue to give back during my retirement. As Chairman of Univest, I remain focused on the growth of our great company and the needs of our employees, customers, shareholders and communities. We are well positioned to grow and build our presence in our core and expansion markets. I look forward to working with Jeff and the board to continue building Univest’s legacy for future generations. Thank you for your years of support, trust and loyalty. INTEGRATION Steady Progress and Long-term Stability Univest’s strong performance in 2013 was primarily due to our ability to carry out our diversification strategy. We made significant progress throughout 2013 towards achieving our vision, “to be the best integrated financial solutions provider in the market.” We believe Univest’s long-term success relies on diversifying the business and reducing our reliance primarily on revenue from the core banking operations. In 2012, 69% of our revenue came from the core bank and 31% came from our other financial operations. In 2013, 66% of our revenue was attributable to the core bank and 34% to our other financial operations. The increased performance of our fee-generating lines of business was the result of both organic growth and growth through acquisition. Here are several highlights of our integrated successes in 2013. • Univest Insurance experienced significant growth through the May 1 acquisition of the John T. Fretz Insurance Agency, Inc., a family-owned-and- operated, full-service property and casualty insurance agency. This is Univest’s seventh insurance acquisition since 1999 and further identifies Univest as a leader in delivering competitive and comprehensive insurance solutions. • Over the last few years, our Mortgage Banking business has made significant revenue contributions as a result of the historically low interest rate environment which fueled refinancing activity. Since starting the business in 2008, we have closed more then 6,500 loans totaling more than $1.3 billion, and we now service more than $750 million in loans for others. The increase in interest rates during 2013 reduced refinancing volume and tightened pricing margins, however, we continued to hire loan officers and focus on purchase volume which will lead to growth in the business over the long term. • Univest Capital continued to grow its equipment finance outstandings while maintaining margins and experiencing solid credit performance. Total equipment finance outstandings increased by 26.4%. • Univest Investments and our Wealth Management businesses benefited from the lower interest rate environment as consumers looked for more attractive return alternatives. In 2013, we grew assets under management and supervision by 9.1%. • On December 19, 2013, Univest entered into an agreement to acquire Girard Partners, Ltd., a registered investment advisory firm with more than $500 million in assets under management. The acquisition was completed in January 2014. With the acquisition, Univest increased its assets under management to more than $3.0 billion and further strengthened our advisory capabilities. $120,000 $100,000 $80,000 $60,000 $40,000 $20,000 $- $800,000 $700,000 $600,000 $500,000 $400,000 $300,000 $200,000 $100,000 $- $120,000 $100,000 $80,000 $60,000 $40,000 $20,000 $- $3,000,000 $2,500,000 $2,000,000 $1,500,000 $1,000,000 $500,000 $- ‘11 ‘12 Insurance Premiums Outstanding (in Thousands) ‘13 4 2 2 , 8 1 4 $ 1 0 8 , 4 0 6 $ 1 9 8 , 1 5 7 $ ‘13 ‘12 ‘11 Loans Serviced for Others (in Thousands) 5 2 2 , 3 7 $ 7 5 8 , 3 8 $ 4 9 9 , 5 0 1 $ ‘11 ‘12 Equipment Finance Outstandings (in Thousands) ‘13 , 7 1 3 6 9 9 1 $ , 1 4 9 , 1 2 4 , 2 $ , 9 8 7 2 4 6 2 $ , ‘12 ‘11 Assets under Management and Supervision (in Thousands) ‘13 Benefits Personal Commercial 2013 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE At December 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2013 2012 2011 Cash and interest-earning deposits .............................................................

In addition, customer demands for convenience and access to information 24/7 are changing the way we market, communicate and deliver our solutions. At Univest, we are proud of our ability to adapt as our industry evolves, balance our risks with new opportunities and grow our business for the benefit of our shareholders and communities. Our strong performance in 2013 is a result of the efforts of more than 600 employees who work hard to differentiate Univest in our core market of Bucks and Montgomery Counties and our expansion markets of Chester County and the Lehigh Valley. Together, we’ve achieved significant milestones, listed below, which enhance Univest’s robust history of steady and stable growth. • We achieved strong organic growth in investments, insurance and equipment financing. • We continued to improve our asset quality, with non-accrual loans down $9 million and non-performing assets down $14 million, respectively from December 2012. • On May 14, we held the groundbreaking of a 10,000-square-foot office building located in the Tilghman Square Shopping Center in South Whitehall Township. This new facility, which was completed in late December, houses 30 employees and has room to add 20 more as we expand in the Lehigh Valley market. • On June 18, we opened our West Chester business development office with an official ribbon cutting ceremony, which helped us increase our involvement in the local community and demonstrated Univest’s commitment to delivering competitive financial solutions in Chester County.

We made the decision to outsource our core bank operating system, which will improve our operations and enable us to redirect resources to other priorities.

They helped teach local youth about the importance of saving and managing money. In addition, we expanded our educational programs to six public high schools through a partnership with Everfi Financial Literacy, an interactive online curriculum covering a variety of financial concepts. In total, Univest educated more than 2,500 students in 2013. • Throughout the year, we built awareness of our diversified solutions by focusing our marketing and communications campaigns on our integrated brand. We promoted our capabilities through multi-channel efforts utilizing digital advertising, radio, print, television, outdoor advertising, social media and editorial features. • Service excellence is a key part of our organizational culture, and one area that sets Univest apart from our competitors. We continually work to improve both employee and customer experiences.

We made significant progress throughout 2013 towards achieving our vision, “to be the best integrated financial solutions provider in the market.” We believe Univest’s long-term success relies on diversifying the business and reducing our reliance primarily on revenue from the core banking operations. In 2012, 69% of our revenue came from the core bank and 31% came from our other financial operations. In 2013, 66% of our revenue was attributable to the core bank and 34% to our other financial operations. The increased performance of our fee-generating lines of business was the result of both organic growth and growth through acquisition. Here are several highlights of our integrated successes in 2013. • Univest Insurance experienced significant growth through the May 1 acquisition of the John T. Fretz Insurance Agency, Inc., a family-owned-and- operated, full-service property and casualty insurance agency. This is Univest’s seventh insurance acquisition since 1999 and further identifies Univest as a leader in delivering competitive and comprehensive insurance solutions. • Over the last few years, our Mortgage Banking business has made significant revenue contributions as a result of the historically low interest rate environment which fueled refinancing activity. Since starting the business in 2008, we have closed more then 6,500 loans totaling more than $1.3 billion, and we now service more than $750 million in loans for others. The increase in interest rates during 2013 reduced refinancing volume and tightened pricing margins, however, we continued to hire loan officers and focus on purchase volume which will lead to growth in the business over the long term. • Univest Capital continued to grow its equipment finance outstandings while maintaining margins and experiencing solid credit performance. Total equipment finance outstandings increased by 26.4%. • Univest Investments and our Wealth Management businesses benefited from the lower interest rate environment as consumers looked for more attractive return alternatives. In 2013, we grew assets under management and supervision by 9.1%. • On December 19, 2013, Univest entered into an agreement to acquire Girard Partners, Ltd., a registered investment advisory firm with more than $500 million in assets under management. The acquisition was completed in January 2014. With the acquisition, Univest increased its assets under management to more than $3.0 billion and further strengthened our advisory capabilities. $120,000 $100,000 $80,000 $60,000 $40,000 $20,000 $- $800,000 $700,000 $600,000 $500,000 $400,000 $300,000 $200,000 $100,000 $- $120,000 $100,000 $80,000 $60,000 $40,000 $20,000 $- $3,000,000 $2,500,000 $2,000,000 $1,500,000 $1,000,000 $500,000 $- ‘11 ‘12 Insurance Premiums Outstanding (in Thousands) ‘13 4 2 2 , 8 1 4 $ 1 0 8 , 4 0 6 $ 1 9 8 , 1 5 7 $ ‘13 ‘12 ‘11 Loans Serviced for Others (in Thousands) 5 2 2 , 3 7 $ 7 5 8 , 3 8 $ 4 9 9 , 5 0 1 $ ‘11 ‘12 Equipment Finance Outstandings (in Thousands) ‘13 , 7 1 3 6 9 9 1 $ , 1 4 9 , 1 2 4 , 2 $ , 9 8 7 2 4 6 2 $ , ‘12 ‘11 Assets under Management and Supervision (in Thousands) ‘13 Benefits Personal Commercial 2013 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE At December 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2013 2012 2011 Cash and interest-earning deposits .............................................................

In addition, customer demands for convenience and access to information 24/7 are changing the way we market, communicate and deliver our solutions. At Univest, we are proud of our ability to adapt as our industry evolves, balance our risks with new opportunities and grow our business for the benefit of our shareholders and communities. Our strong performance in 2013 is a result of the efforts of more than 600 employees who work hard to differentiate Univest in our core market of Bucks and Montgomery Counties and our expansion markets of Chester County and the Lehigh Valley. Together, we’ve achieved significant milestones, listed below, which enhance Univest’s robust history of steady and stable growth. • We achieved strong organic growth in investments, insurance and equipment financing. • We continued to improve our asset quality, with non-accrual loans down $9 million and non-performing assets down $14 million, respectively from December 2012. • On May 14, we held the groundbreaking of a 10,000-square-foot office building located in the Tilghman Square Shopping Center in South Whitehall Township. This new facility, which was completed in late December, houses 30 employees and has room to add 20 more as we expand in the Lehigh Valley market. • On June 18, we opened our West Chester business development office with an official ribbon cutting ceremony, which helped us increase our involvement in the local community and demonstrated Univest’s commitment to delivering competitive financial solutions in Chester County.

In addition, we expanded our educational programs to six public high schools through a partnership with Everfi Financial Literacy, an interactive online curriculum covering a variety of financial concepts. In total, Univest educated more than 2,500 students in 2013. • Throughout the year, we built awareness of our diversified solutions by focusing our marketing and communications campaigns on our integrated brand. We promoted our capabilities through multi-channel efforts utilizing digital advertising, radio, print, television, outdoor advertising, social media and editorial features. • Service excellence is a key part of our organizational culture, and one area that sets Univest apart from our competitors.

PRESENT. FUTURE. Ref lections on a 42-year Career and Insights into the Future It has been an honor to be a part of this company for the past 42 years. When I started as a management trainee in 1971, Univest had $70,488,775 in total assets, operated 10 offices and our services were limited to traditional banking solutions. Four decades later, it is amazing how our business has changed. In addition to significantly growing the company and our assets, we have evolved the business from a community bank to a fully integrated financial solutions company. For the last 13 years, we have invested in diversifying the William S. Aichele business and building a complete suite of financial solutions. Today, Univest Corporation is steadily progressing toward our vision “to be the best integrated financial solutions provider in the market.” Our success – through both good and challenging times – is a result of our focused approach to managing the business. We remain disciplined – using our mission and core values as guides – and we continue to actively seek ways to offer competitive, convenient solutions to meet the growing needs of our customers. I have appreciated every opportunity afforded me and have enjoyed the countless friendships I developed through the years. I have been blessed, and I have the Univest family to thank for it. There are not many retirees who can reflect on a 42-year career with one company. The people I worked with and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others is what kept me excited to come to work every day. It has been a distinct pleasure to help individuals fulfill their financial dreams and mentor employees as they established their careers with Univest. Univest is a special place. We have a culture of excellence, a commitment to developing lasting relationships and a passion for putting other people’s needs before our own. Many of you know I am passionate about serving our community, and I will continue to give back during my retirement. As Chairman of Univest, I remain focused on the growth of our great company and the needs of our employees, customers, shareholders and communities. We are well positioned to grow and build our presence in our core and expansion markets. I look forward to working with Jeff and the board to continue building Univest’s legacy for future generations. Thank you for your years of support, trust and loyalty.
