As the flight to quality continued in all aspects of the economy, Washington Trust emerged as the bank of choice for depositors, borrowers, and investors who were seeking big-bank solutions and local, personalized service. We continued to play to our strengths: we have a great team of talented professionals who provide individualized solutions and exemplary customer service. And in 2010, everyone was on their game. We generated $24.1 million in net income, or $1.49 per share, up substantially from 2009. Return on average equity (ROE) was 9.09%, compared to 6.56% for 2009. Of particular note was our performance in the fourth quarter when we recorded net income of $7.2 million, the highest quarterly earnings in our Corporation’s 210-year history. While these results would be impressive in any year, they are especially noteworthy given the financial climate of 2010. Not only were we operating in a slow-growth economy; Rhode Island was faced with record unemployment, consumers were cautious about borrowing and spending, and the business community struggled. With these factors all in play, our performance in 2010 was remarkable and points to a larger story: our company is on the move, and we look to the future with purpose and excitement. Washington Trust stands out among our local, regional, and national peers as measured by the industry’s fundamental yardsticks: our capital ratios are strong, our asset quality remains solid, and our liquidity is excellent. In 2010, we controlled discretionary expenses and retooled our balance sheet to strengthen our margin. We also decreased our investment securities holdings and reduced our Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings. All of this contributed to a substantial increase in shareholder value as our stock price closed out the year at $21.88 per share, up from $15.58 at its 2009 close.

We generated a record level of $2 billion in deposits. We now rank third among Rhode Island-based banks for deposit market share.* Deposit balances grew, reflecting the confidence that people have in securing their savings with Washington Trust. We continue to expand our retail footprint in Rhode Island. In November 2009, we opened our second branch in Warwick, Rhode Island, and it has been an unqualified success, attracting a solid base of both deposits and loans. In 2011, we look forward to the opening of our 18th branch, which will be located in East Providence, Rhode Island. We are committed to opening new branches in communities where we do not have a presence to continue to make it more convenient for customers to do business with us. Our robust mortgage production resulted in significant sales gains for the company. While historically low interest rates brought borrowers to our doors to refinance, it was our service that set us apart from the big banks. One of the keys to our record mortgage volume was the business generated through our Home Loan Center in Sharon, Massachusetts. In its first full year of operations, the Sharon office contributed more than one-quarter of our 2010 mortgage volume, showing us unequivocally that our mortgage banking model works beyond our Rhode Island borders. We will build on this success in 2011 with the opening of our second Home Loan Center in Burlington, Massachusetts, just north of Boston. Commercial lending production was good in 2010. As in recent years, we attracted quality credits from the big banks. We continue to expand our commercial lending presence in Rhode Island, and our market share in the Providence area is growing. While the market in general has softened, we believe there will be good opportunities to be involved in on a selective basis moving forward. *Deposits as of 6/30/10; most recent data available.

Wealth management assets under administration rose in the fourth quarter to the highest level ever and totaled $4.1 billion at December 31st, and revenue growth returned to pre-recession levels. Beyond the numbers, at the heart of our success in 2010 were the same values that have guided our company since we opened our doors more than two centuries ago: trustworthiness, sound judgment, a commitment to excellence, and a willingness to help. We continued to invest in technology, as it plays an essential role in how we deliver outstanding service. Most of all, we remained true to our principles and never lost our focus on our customers. It is important to note that, while we achieved great success in 2010, we continue to conduct business in a difficult economic environment. 2011 will be another challenging year, but we are ready and cautiously optimistic. Every day, the outstanding efforts and contributions of our employees drive the success of our Corporation. We are grateful to work with such dedicated professionals. Our customers display remarkable loyalty to Washington Trust; we sincerely appreciate their business and confidence. We are also thankful for the steady support of our shareholders. It is a privilege to lead your company, and we look forward to continuing our efforts on your behalf. Joseph J. MarcAurele Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer 6 W a s h i n g t o n T r u s t B a n c o r p , I n c . 2 0 1 0 A n n u a l R e p o r t ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A Conversation with Joe MarcAurele After joining Washington Trust in September 2009, Joseph J. MarcAurele was appointed Chairman, President and CEO in April 2010. Following are his thoughts and observations on Washington Trust, the economic climate, and the financial services industry in general. What were the top stories for Washington Trust in 2010? Overall, although we were doing business in a difficult economic environment, we were able to drive very good results. The highlights were record deposits, record residential mortgage volume, and a return to the profitability levels that our wealth management business has delivered historically. In addition, we experienced very solid commercial loan growth in a market that was challenged. What were the keys to success? Our ability to manage the balance sheet was essential to our success in 2010. We de-leveraged by pay- ing down a lot of our borrowings. We controlled our deposit costs. We managed our investment portfo- lio strategically to add to our profitability. And we controlled our discretionary expenses very well. Of course, all of our lines of business performed well. W a s h i n g t o n T r u s t B a n c o r p , I n c . 2 0 1 0 A n n u a l R e p o r t 7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “If five years ago our goal was to get on people’s list when they were looking for financial services, today we are not only on that list, but have a very good track record of winning their business.” How would you characterize the economic environment? We are operating in a very challenging economic environment. There were niches in the economy that were vibrant, such as opportunities in mortgage refinancing, which led to significant mort- gage volume in 2010. But overall, the economy is still slow. Most recoveries have been led by increased consumer confidence and consumer spending. However, right now there is an enormous amount of caution on the part of the consumer in regard to spending. The other issue is unemployment. We are at record levels of unemployment statewide and nationwide. Until our unemployment numbers improve, we won’t see a significant upward movement in the economy. How is Washington Trust positioned competitively? We will always be playing in a competitive marketplace. What we have to do is make sure that we can differentiate ourselves from our competitors. Banking to a large degree is a commoditized business. I think the only true competitive advantage you can have is to offer better customer service. That is the only real differentiator. I also believe it is an absolute core strength of Washington Trust. If five years ago our goal was to get on people’s list when they were looking for financial services, today we are not only on that list, but have a very good track record of winning their business. Washington Trust is a player statewide. Every day, we compete head-on with major financial institutions – and with significant success. What are your thoughts about the state of the banking industry today? The first thing the industry has to do is re-establish people’s confidence in financial institutions. There has been a crisis of confidence in recent years, and to earn that confidence back, financial institutions have to be totally direct, straightforward, and honest with people. Banking will continue to be a very competitive industry, with a lot of different players. I believe Washington Trust is very well positioned from a size standpoint: we are big enough to deliver big-bank services and small enough to deliver local, personalized service. We have a diversified revenue stream that protects us from downturns in certain segments of the market. You can’t be totally dependent on one source of income; this is not a business that works well if you are a one-trick pony. 8 W a s h i n g t o n T r u s t B a n c o r p , I n c . 2 0 1 0 A n n u a l R e p o r t ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Washington Trust is very well positioned from a size standpoint: we are big enough to deliver big-bank services and small enough to deliver local, personalized service.” Can you comment on the regulatory environment? The regulatory environment is challenging. I am not against thoughtful regulation of what financial institutions do, and I think that a reasonable level of regulation is necessary. That said, our relation- ship with regulators is very good. The way Washington Trust is run and has been run in the past gives our regulators comfort. We don’t feel as though we are disadvantaged at all by the regulatory environ- ment as it exists today. What are the opportunities that you see for Washington Trust? There continues to be disruption in the market. That won’t be the case forever, but in the near-term, we will continue to see opportunities to take share, particularly from larger competitors who currently don’t have the ability to service customers in a way that is helpful to them. We will also make sure that our balance sheet and our expense structure are correctly situated to take advantage of when the economy gets better. Right now, we are not weighed down by bad assets. We do not have an outsized nonperforming loan book. Because of that, we’re open for business and ready to help. Our strategy is to generate as much new business as we can right now, and then grow with those customers when the economy gets better. What are your thoughts on Washington Trust’s growth plans in the years ahead? I think the key to our success will be our ability to grow all of our business lines organically – by tak- ing market share in markets where we compete. Of course, we will do this in a way that does not jeop- ardize the safety and soundness of the institution. Our risk management capability is solid, and we will always weigh our growth expectations against our risk tolerance. Based on that philosophy, our goal is to grow in a measured way that is achievable given our geography and capital structure. Can you comment on Washington Trust’s branch network expansion? We offer our customers excellent convenience in much of the southern Rhode Island market, where we enjoy a dominant position. Our opportunity is to go north to communities that will be natural exten- sions of the markets that we are in today. We have made some significant commitments to expanding our Providence office, and we will continue to grow our wealth management capabilities there. We W a s h i n g t o n T r u s t B a n c o r p , I n c . 2 0 1 0 A n n u a l R e p o r t 9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ are also opening a new branch in East Providence in fall 2011, which brings our network to 18 branches. We will continue to look for new branch locations that will be advantageous to our growth plans. Even with the technological advances that the banking industry has made available, the reality is that people prefer to conduct their most significant transactions – large deposits, residential mortgages, etc. – face to face in a branch with a bank representative. Washington Trust continues to attract top talent to its ranks. What’s the appeal? I believe Washington Trust is an employer of choice in Rhode Island, not just in the financial services industry, but among all employers in the state. People know they can make a difference here – for their customers, their community, and their company. They also are attracted by the fact that Washington Trust is a great place for people to grow in their careers. There are opportunities throughout our organization for talented people. How does Washington Trust’s 210-year history benefit the company and its shareholders? Washington Trust’s reputation and stability resonate with people. This was especially true in recent years when customers, companies, and investors all wanted to do business with someone they can count on. There’s nothing more important than that. Washington Trust people are trusted advisors. One of the key strengths of our company is the universal dedication to service that you find here. That dedication, which dates back to our founding in 1800, continues to distinguish our company today. 10 W a s h i n g t o n T r u s t B a n c o r p , I n c . 2 0 1 0 A n n u a l R e p o r t Corporate Directory, Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Front row, left to right: John C.
