ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

GENERAL

WesBanco, Inc. (“WesBanco”), a bank holding company incorporated in 1968 and headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia, offers a full range of financial services including retail banking, corporate banking, personal and corporate trust services, brokerage services, mortgage banking and insurance. WesBanco offers these services through two reportable segments, community banking and trust and investment services. For additional information regarding WesBanco’s business segments, please refer to Note 24, “Business Segments” in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

At December 31, 2010, WesBanco operated one commercial bank, WesBanco Bank, Inc., (“WesBanco Bank” or the “Bank”) through 112 offices, one loan production office and 132 ATM machines located in West Virginia, Ohio, and Western Pennsylvania. Total assets of WesBanco Bank as of December 31, 2010 approximated $5.4 billion. WesBanco Bank also offers trust and investment services and various alternative investment products including mutual funds and annuities. The market value of assets under management of the trust and investment services segment was approximately $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2010. These assets are held by WesBanco Bank in fiduciary or agency capacities for its customers and therefore are not included as assets on WesBanco’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

WesBanco offers additional services through its non-banking subsidiaries, WesBanco Insurance Services, Inc., (“WesBanco Insurance”) a multi-line insurance agency specializing in property, casualty and life insurance, and benefit plan sales and administration for personal and commercial clients; and WesBanco Securities, Inc., (“WesBanco Securities”), a full service broker-dealer, which also offers discount brokerage services.

WesBanco Asset Management, Inc., which was incorporated in 2002, holds certain investment securities in a Delaware-based subsidiary.

WesBanco Properties, Inc. holds certain commercial real estate properties. The commercial property is leased to WesBanco Bank and to non-related third parties.

WesBanco, Inc. has eight capital trusts, which are all wholly-owned trust subsidiaries of WesBanco formed for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities (“Trust Preferred Securities”) and lending the proceeds to WesBanco. For more information regarding WesBanco’s issuance of trust preferred securities please refer to Note 12, “Junior Subordinated Debt Owed to Unconsolidated Subsidiary Trusts” in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

WesBanco Bank’s Investment Department also serves as investment adviser to a family of mutual funds, namely the “WesMark Funds”. The fund family is composed of the WesMark Growth Fund, the WesMark Balanced Fund, the WesMark Small Company Growth Fund, the WesMark Government Bond Fund, and the WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund.

As of December 31, 2010, none of WesBanco’s subsidiaries were engaged in any operations in foreign countries, and none had transactions with customers in foreign countries.

EMPLOYEES

There were 1,377 full-time equivalent employees employed by WesBanco and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2010. None of the employees were represented by collective bargaining agreements. WesBanco believes its employee relations to be satisfactory.

WEB SITE ACCESS TO WESBANCO’S FILINGS WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

All of WesBanco’s electronic filings for 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including this Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are made available at no cost on WesBanco’s website, www.wesbanco.com, in the “About Us” section through the “Investor Relations” link as soon as reasonably practicable after WesBanco files such material with, or furnishes it to, the SEC. WesBanco’s SEC filings are also available through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Upon written request of any shareholder of record on December 31, 2010, WesBanco will provide, without charge, a printed copy of its 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including financial statements and schedules, as required to be filed with the SEC. To obtain a copy of the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, contact: Linda Woodfin, WesBanco, Inc., 1 Bank Plaza, Wheeling, WV 26003 (304) 234-9201.

COMPETITION

Competition in the form of price and service from other banks, including local, regional and national banks and financial companies such as savings and loans, internet banks, credit unions, finance companies, brokerage firms and other non-banking companies providing various regulated and non-regulated financial services and products, is intense in most of the markets served by WesBanco and its subsidiaries. WesBanco’s trust and investment services segment receives competition from commercial banks, trust companies, mutual fund companies, investment advisory firms, law firms, brokerage firms and other financial services companies. As a result of consolidation within the financial services industry, mergers between, and the expansion of, financial institutions both within and outside West Virginia have provided significant competitive pressure in WesBanco’s major markets. Some of WesBanco’s competitors have greater resources and, as such, may have higher lending limits and may offer other products and services that are not provided by WesBanco. WesBanco generally competes on the basis of customer service and responsiveness to customer needs, available loan and deposit products, rates of interest charged on loans, rates of interest paid for deposits, and the availability and pricing of trust, brokerage and insurance services. As WesBanco has expanded into new, larger Ohio metropolitan markets, it faces entrenched large bank competitors with an already existing customer base that may far exceed WesBanco’s initial entry position into those markets. As a result, WesBanco may be forced to compete more aggressively for loans, deposits, trust and insurance products in order to grow its market share, potentially reducing its current and future profit potential from such markets.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

As a bank holding company and a financial holding company under federal law, WesBanco is subject to supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”) under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (“BHCA”), as amended, and is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board reports and other information regarding its business operations and the business operations of its subsidiaries. WesBanco also is required to obtain Federal Reserve Board approval prior to acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of certain voting shares of other banks, as described below. Since WesBanco is both a bank holding company and a financial holding company, WesBanco can offer customers virtually any type of service that is financial in nature or incidental thereto, including banking and activities closely related to banking, securities underwriting, insurance (both underwriting and agency) and merchant banking.

As indicated above, WesBanco presently operates one bank subsidiary, WesBanco Bank. The Bank is a West Virginia banking corporation and is not a member bank of the Federal Reserve System. It is subject to examination and supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the West Virginia Division of Banking. The deposits of WesBanco Bank are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the FDIC. WesBanco’s nonbank subsidiaries are subject to examination and supervision by the Federal Reserve

Board and examination by other federal and state agencies, including, in the case of certain securities activities, regulation by the SEC, the Financial Institution Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board and the Securities Investors Protection Corporation. WesBanco Bank maintains one designated financial subsidiary, WesBanco Insurance Services, Inc., which, as indicated above, is a multi-line insurance agency specializing in property, casualty and life insurance, and benefit plan sales and administration, for personal and commercial clients.

WesBanco is also under the jurisdiction of the SEC and certain state securities commissions for matters relating to the offering and sale of its securities. WesBanco is subject to the disclosure and regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as administered by the SEC. WesBanco is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the trading symbol “WSBC” and is subject to the rules of the NASDAQ for listed companies.

Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (“Riegle-Neal Act”), as amended, a bank holding company may acquire banks in states other than its home state, subject to certain limitations. The Riegle-Neal Act also authorizes banks to merge across state lines, thereby creating interstate banking. Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), banks are also permitted to establish de novo branches across state lines to the same extent that a state-chartered bank in each host state would be permitted to open branches.

Under the BHCA, prior Federal Reserve Board approval is required for WesBanco to acquire more than 5% of the voting stock of any bank. In determining whether to approve a proposed bank acquisition, federal banking regulators will consider, among other factors, the effect of the acquisition on competition, the public benefits expected to be received from the acquisition, the projected capital ratios and levels on a post-acquisition basis, and the acquiring institution’s record of addressing the credit needs of the communities it serves, including the needs of low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operation of the bank, under the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) and its amendments.

HOLDING COMPANY REGULATIONS

As indicated above, WesBanco has one state bank subsidiary, WesBanco Bank, as well as nonbank subsidiaries, which are described further in “Item 1. Business—General” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The subsidiary bank is subject to affiliate transaction restrictions under federal law, which limit “covered transactions” by the subsidiary bank with the parent and any nonbank subsidiaries of the parent, which are referred to in the aggregate in this paragraph as “affiliates” of the subsidiary bank. “Covered transactions” include loans or extensions of credit to an affiliate (including repurchase agreements), purchases of or investments in securities issued by an affiliate, purchases of assets from an affiliate, the acceptance of securities issued by an affiliate as collateral for a loan or extension of credit, the issuance of a guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit on behalf of an affiliate, certain transactions that involve borrowing or lending securities, and certain derivative transactions with an affiliate. Such covered transactions between the subsidiary bank and any single affiliate are limited in amount to 10% of the subsidiary bank’s capital and surplus, respectively, and, with respect to covered transactions with all affiliates in the aggregate, are limited in amount to 20% of the subsidiary bank’s capital and surplus, respectively. Furthermore, such loans or extensions of credit, guarantees, acceptances and letters of credit, and any credit exposure resulting from securities borrowing or lending transactions or derivatives transactions are required to be secured by collateral at all times in amounts specified by law. In addition, all covered transactions must be conducted on terms and conditions that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices.

The Dodd-Frank Act requires a bank holding company to act as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary bank. Under this source of strength requirement, the Federal Reserve Board may require a bank holding company to make capital infusions into a troubled subsidiary bank, and may charge the bank holding company with engaging in unsafe and unsound practices for failure to commit resources to such a subsidiary bank. A capital infusion conceivably could be required at a time when WesBanco may not have the resources to provide it.

PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS

Dividends from the subsidiary bank are a significant source of funds for payment of dividends to WesBanco’s shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2010, WesBanco declared cash dividends to its common shareholders of approximately $14.9 million.

Under the prompt corrective action provisions set forth in Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDI Act”) and implementing regulations set forth in Section 325.105 of the FDIC Regulations, immediately upon a state non-member bank receiving notice, or being deemed to have notice, that the bank is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized, as defined in Section 325.103 of the FDIC Regulations, the bank is precluded from being able to pay dividends to its shareholders based upon the requirements in Section 38(d) of the FDI Act, 12. U.S.C. § 1831o(d).

However, as indicated elsewhere in this discussion, as of December 31, 2010, WesBanco Bank was “well capitalized” under the definition in Section 325.103 of the FDIC Regulations. Therefore, as long as the Bank remains “well capitalized” or even becomes “adequately capitalized,” there would be no basis under Section 325.105 to limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends because it had not become undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized.

In addition, with respect to possible dividends by the Bank, under Section 31A-4-25 of the West Virginia Code, the prior approval of the West Virginia Commissioner of Banking would be required if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year would exceed the total of the Bank’s net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits of the preceding two years. In addition, Section 31A-4-25 limits the ability of a West Virginia banking institution to pay dividends until the surplus fund of the banking institution equals the common stock of the banking institution and if certain specified amounts of recent profits of the banking institution have not been carried to the surplus fund.

If, in the opinion of the applicable regulatory authority, a bank under its jurisdiction is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice which, depending on the financial condition of the bank, could include the payment of dividends, such authority may require, after notice and hearing, that such bank cease and desist from such practice. The Federal Reserve Board has issued policy statements which provide that insured banks and bank holding companies should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings. Additional information regarding dividend restrictions is set forth in Note 22, “Regulatory Matters” in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

On February 24, 2009 the Federal Reserve Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation issued a letter providing direction to bank holding companies on the payment of dividends, capital repurchases and capital redemptions. Although the letter largely reiterates longstanding Federal Reserve supervisory policies, it emphasizes the need for a bank holding company to review various factors when considering the declaration of a dividend or taking action that would reduce regulatory capital provided by outstanding financial instruments. These factors include the potential need to increase loan loss reserves, write down assets and reflect declines in asset values in equity. In addition, the bank holding company should consider its past and anticipated future earnings, the dividend payout ratio in relation to earnings, and adequacy of regulatory capital before any action is taken. The consideration of capital adequacy should include a review of all known factors that may affect capital in the future.

In certain circumstances, defined by regulation relating to levels of earnings and capital, advance notification to, and in some circumstances, approval by the regulator could be required to declare a dividend or repurchase or redeem capital instruments.

FDIC INSURANCE

FDIC insurance premiums are assessed using a risk-based approach by placing all insured institutions into one of four categories based on their level of capital and risk profile. In 2009, WesBanco Bank paid deposit insurance premiums that were significantly higher than those paid in 2008. The rate increase was largely due to the FDIC raising rates for the first quarter of 2009 and then, effective April 1, raising rates again. The Bank also exhausted the remaining balance of its one-time assessment credit with its payment for the first quarter 2009.

In May 2009, the FDIC imposed its final rule on a special assessment as of June 30. This special assessment was collected September 30, 2009 and impacted the Bank’s second quarter expenses by $2.6 million.

In November 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule requiring banks to prepay their estimated quarterly assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, as well as all of 2010, 2011 and 2012 on December 30, 2009 along with their regular third quarter assessment. The assessment rate was based on the bank’s total base assessment rate as of September 30, 2009. The rate was increased for 2011 and 2012, and a 5% annual growth rate in the deposit base was assumed. WesBanco Bank paid $24.1 million on December 30, 2009 to satisfy the requirements of this rule, with the portion related to the years 2010 – 2012 recorded as a prepaid expense, to be amortized on an actual, pro rata basis over those three years. The actual assessments corresponding to 2010 of $6.2 million did not materially differ from the prepaid estimates.

Various changes under the Dodd-Frank Act require the FDIC to change how deposit insurance premiums are calculated. Notably, the size of the DIF is increased and the assessment base is expanded to include all liabilities (i.e., all assets minus tangible equity) rather than deposits only. Assessment rates are expected to decrease as the size of the DIF increases. These changes are expected to be more advantageous to community banks that are not as highly dependent upon borrowings to fund their operations, as compared to larger banks.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Federal Reserve Board has issued risk-based capital ratio and leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies. The risk-based capital ratio guidelines establish a systematic analytical framework that makes regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations, takes off-balance sheet exposures into explicit account in assessing capital adequacy, and minimizes disincentives to holding liquid, low-risk assets. Under the guidelines and related policies, bank holding companies must maintain capital sufficient to meet both a risk-based asset ratio test and a leverage ratio test on a consolidated basis. The risk-based ratio is determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet commitments into four weighted categories, with higher weightings being assigned to categories perceived as representing greater risk. A bank holding company’s capital is then divided by total risk-weighted assets to yield the risk-based ratio. The leverage ratio is determined by relating core capital to total assets adjusted as specified in the guidelines. The bank is subject to substantially similar capital requirements.

Generally, under the applicable guidelines, a financial institution’s capital is divided into three tiers. “Tier 1,” or core capital, includes common equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock excluding auction rate issues, and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and, with certain limited exceptions, all other intangible assets. Certain bank holding companies, however, may include certain trust preferred securities that underlie junior subordinated debt in their Tier I capital. (See below within this section for more information regarding the capital treatment of trust preferred securities.) In addition, bank holding companies may include cumulative preferred stock in their Tier 1 capital, up to a limit of 25% of such Tier 1 capital.

“Tier 2,” or supplementary capital, includes, among other things, portions of trust preferred securities and cumulative preferred stock not otherwise counted in Tier I capital, as well as limited-life preferred stock, hybrid capital instruments, mandatory convertible securities, qualifying subordinated debt, and the allowance for loan and lease losses, subject to certain limitations. Institutions that must incorporate market risk exposure into their risk-based capital requirements may also have a third tier of capital in the form of restricted short-term unsecured subordinated debt.

“Tier 3 capital” consists of subordinated debt that meets certain conditions, including being unsecured, being fully paid up, having an original maturity of at least two years, and not being redeemable before maturity without prior Federal Reserve Board approval. The Federal Reserve Board requires bank holding companies that engage in trading activities to adjust their risk-based capital ratios to take into consideration market risks that may result from movements in market prices of covered trading positions in trading accounts, or from foreign exchange or commodity positions, whether or not in trading accounts, including changes in interest rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates or commodity prices. Any capital required to be maintained under these provisions may consist of new “Tier 3 capital.” “Total capital” is the sum of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 capital.

The Federal Reserve Board and the other federal banking regulators require that all intangible assets, with certain limited exceptions, be deducted from Tier 1 capital. Under the Federal Reserve Board’s rules, the only types of intangible assets that may be included in (i.e., not deducted from) a bank holding company’s capital are originated or purchased mortgage servicing rights, non-mortgage servicing assets, and purchased credit card relationships, provided that, in the aggregate, the amount of these items included in capital does not exceed 100% of Tier 1 capital.

Under the risk-based guidelines, financial institutions are required to maintain a risk-based ratio, which is total capital to risk-weighted assets, of at least 8%, of which at least 4% must be Tier 1 capital. The appropriate regulatory authority may set higher capital requirements when an institution’s circumstances warrant.

The Federal Reserve Board has established a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3.0% for strong bank holding companies rated composite “1” under the new RFI/C (D) (“Risk Management,” “Financial Condition,” “Impact,” “Composite Rating” and “Depository Institution”) components rating system for bank holding companies, and for certain bank holding companies that have implemented the Board’s risk-based capital measure for market risk. For all other bank holding companies, the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets is 4.0%. Banking organizations with supervisory, financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses, as well as organizations that are anticipating or experiencing significant growth are expected to maintain capital ratios well above the minimum levels. Moreover, higher capital ratios may be required for any bank holding company if warranted by its particular circumstances or risk profile. In all cases, bank holding companies should hold capital commensurate with the level and nature of the risks, including the volume and severity of problem loans, to which they are exposed. The Federal Reserve Board has also indicated that it will consider a “tangible Tier 1 capital ratio” (deducting all intangibles) and other indications of capital strength in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities. More recently, in its February 24, 2009 supervisory letter, the Federal Reserve Board noted that a BHC’s predominant form of tangible capital should be common equity.

The bank regulatory agencies have established special minimum capital requirements for equity investments in nonfinancial companies. The requirements consist of a series of marginal capital charges that increase within a range from 8% to 25% of the adjusted carrying value of the equity investments as a financial institution’s overall exposure to equity investments increases as a percentage of its Tier 1 capital. At December 31, 2010, capital charges relating to WesBanco’s equity investments in nonfinancial companies were immaterial.

Failure to meet applicable capital guidelines could subject a financial institution to a variety of enforcement remedies available to the federal regulatory authorities, including limitations on the ability to pay dividends, the issuance by the regulatory authority of a capital directive to increase capital, and the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, as well as to the measures described below under “Prompt Corrective Action” as applicable to undercapitalized institutions.

As of December 31, 2010, WesBanco’s Tier 1 and total capital to risk-adjusted assets ratios were 11.94% and 13.20%, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, WesBanco Bank also had capital in excess of the minimum requirements. Neither WesBanco nor the Bank had been advised by the appropriate federal banking regulator of any specific leverage ratio applicable to it. As of December 31, 2010, WesBanco’s leverage ratio was 8.35%.

As of December 31, 2010, WesBanco had $106.0 million in junior subordinated debt on its Consolidated Balance Sheets presented as a separate category of long-term debt. For regulatory purposes, Trust Preferred Securities totaling $103.0 million underlying such junior subordinated debt were included in Tier 1 Capital as of December 31, 2010, in accordance with regulatory reporting requirements. On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a rule retaining trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, but with stricter quantitative limits and clearer qualitative standards. Under this rule, after a transition period initially set to expire on March 31, 2009 but extended to March 31, 2011, the aggregate amount of trust preferred securities and certain other capital elements would be limited to 25 percent of Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill. The amount of trust preferred securities and certain other elements in excess of the limit could be included in Tier 2 capital, subject to restrictions.

The Dodd-Frank Act requires the federal banking agencies to develop consolidated capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and banks. These new requirements must be at least as stringent as those currently applicable to banks, meaning that trust preferred securities will generally be excluded from Tier 1 Capital. A grandfather provision, however, will permit bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $15 billion, such as WesBanco, to continue counting existing trust preferred securities as Tier 1 Capital until they mature. WesBanco currently believes substantially all of its Trust Preferred Securities will remain in Tier 1 capital. For more information regarding trust preferred securities, please refer to Note 12, “Junior Subordinated Debt Owed to Unconsolidated Subsidiary Trusts” in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The risk-based capital standards of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC specify that evaluations by the banking agencies of a bank’s capital adequacy will include an assessment of the exposure to declines in the economic value of the bank’s capital due to changes in interest rates. These banking agencies issued a joint policy statement on interest rate risk describing prudent methods for monitoring such risk that rely principally on internal measures of exposure and active oversight of risk management activities by senior management.

The federal regulatory authorities’ risk-based capital guidelines are based upon agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the “Basel Committee”). The Basel Committee is a committee of central banks and bank supervisors and regulators from the major industrialized countries that develops broad policy guidelines for use by each country’s supervisors in determining the supervisory policies they apply. In December 2010, the Basel Committee issued a strengthened set of international capital and liquidity standards for banks and bank holding companies, known as “Basel III.” The Basel III reforms are supported by the U.S. federal banking agencies and will increase both the quantity and quality of capital banks and bank holding companies are required to hold. Regulators in each participating country will be expected to implement Basel III beginning January 1, 2013.

When Basel III is fully phased-in on January 1, 2019, banks and bank holding companies will be required to maintain: (i) a minimum Tier 1 common equity ratio of at least 4.5 percent, (ii) a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6 percent, (iii) a minimum total capital ratio (Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital) of at least 8 percent; and (iv) a non-risk-based minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets) of 3 percent. Although not presented as a minimum requirement, banks and bank holding companies will not be able to pay dividends unless they have an additional “capital conservation buffer” equal to a Tier 1 common equity ratio of 2.5 percent. Adding the capital conservation buffer on top of the minimums, banks and bank holding companies will generally need a Tier 1 common equity ratio of 7 percent, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5 percent, and a total capital ratio of 10.5 percent. Under Basel III, regulators would also be able to impose a “countercyclical capital buffer” during periods of excessive credit growth. The countercyclical capital buffer would be an additional Tier 1 common equity ratio of up to 2.5 percent. Under Basel III, regulatory adjustments to common equity will generally be eliminated by January 1, 2018, although an exception will permit a portion of mortgage servicing rights to continue being treated as common equity.

WesBanco cannot predict the precise timing or final form of forthcoming capital regulations that could be applicable to WesBanco or their impact on WesBanco. Capital requirements that may arise from regulations issued under the Dodd-Frank Act, Basel III, or some other initiative could increase the minimum capital requirements applicable to WesBanco and its subsidiaries.

PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) requires federal banking regulatory authorities to take “prompt corrective action” with respect to depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. For these purposes, FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized.

An institution is deemed to be “well-capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5% or greater and is not subject to a regulatory order, agreement, or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. An institution is deemed to be “adequately capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater, and generally a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% or greater and the institution does not meet the definition of a “well-capitalized” institution. An institution that does not meet one or more of the “adequately capitalized” tests is deemed to be “undercapitalized.” If the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3%, or a Tier 1 leverage ratio that is less than 3%, it is deemed to be “significantly undercapitalized.” Finally, an institution is deemed to be “critically undercapitalized” if it has a ratio of tangible equity (as defined in the regulations) to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%. At December 31, 2010, WesBanco Bank had capital levels that met the “well-capitalized” standards under FDICIA and its implementing regulations.

FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution, including payment of a cash dividend, or paying any management fee to its holding company, if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. Undercapitalized institutions are subject to growth limitations and are required to submit a capital restoration plan. If any depository institution subsidiary of a holding company is required to submit a capital restoration plan, the holding company would be required to provide a limited guarantee regarding compliance with the plan as a condition of approval of such plan by the appropriate federal banking agency. If an undercapitalized institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized. Significantly undercapitalized institutions may be subject to a number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets, and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks. Critically undercapitalized institutions may not, beginning 60 days after becoming critically undercapitalized, make any payment of principal or interest on their subordinated debt and/or trust preferred securities. In addition, critically undercapitalized institutions are subject to appointment of a receiver or conservator within 90 days of becoming critically undercapitalized.

GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT

Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), banks are no longer prohibited from associating with, or having management interlocks with, a business organization engaged principally in securities activities. By qualifying as a “financial holding company,” as authorized under the GLB Act, which WesBanco has done, a bank holding company acquires new powers not otherwise available to it. As indicated above, WesBanco has elected to become a financial holding company under the GLB Act. It also has qualified a subsidiary of the Bank as a financial subsidiary under the GLB Act.

Financial holding company powers relate to “financial activities” that are determined by the Federal Reserve Board, in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury, to be financial in nature, incidental to an activity that is financial in nature, or complementary to a financial activity, provided that the complementary activity does not pose a safety and soundness risk. The GLB Act itself defines certain activities as financial in nature, including

but not limited to: underwriting insurance or annuities; providing financial or investment advice; underwriting, dealing in, or making markets in securities; merchant banking, subject to significant limitations; insurance company portfolio investing, subject to significant limitations; and any activities previously found by the Federal Reserve Board to be closely related to banking.

National and state banks are permitted under the GLB Act, subject to capital, management, size, debt rating, and CRA qualification factors, to have “financial subsidiaries” that are permitted to engage in financial activities not otherwise permissible. However, unlike financial holding companies, financial subsidiaries may not engage in insurance or annuity underwriting; developing or investing in real estate; merchant banking (for at least five years); or insurance company portfolio investing.

DODD-FRANK ACT

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act, which contains numerous and wide-ranging reforms to the structure of the U.S. financial system. Portions of the Dodd-Frank Act are effective at different times, and many of the provisions are general statements directing regulators to draft more detailed rules. Although the full scope of the Dodd-Frank Act’s impact remains somewhat unclear, management expects that it will, over time, reduce revenue and increase expenses.

As a bank holding company, WesBanco will be subjected to increased capital requirements (discussed above under “Item 1. Business—Capital Requirements”). A provision known as the Volcker Rule will limit WesBanco’s ability to engage in proprietary trading, as well as its ability to sponsor or invest in hedge funds or private equity funds. A provision known as the Lincoln Rule will prevent WesBanco Bank from engaging in certain swap transactions unless they are carried out through a separately capitalized affiliate. Increased restrictions also will apply to transactions with and among WesBanco subsidiaries (discussed above under “Item 1. Business—Holding Company Regulations”), and the Federal Reserve Board will have increased authority to examine and take enforcement action against WesBanco and its subsidiaries that are not banks.

The Dodd-Frank Act makes several changes affecting the securitization markets, which may affect WesBanco’s ability or desire to use those markets to meet funding or liquidity needs. One of these changes calls for federal regulators to adopt regulations requiring the sponsor of a securitization to retain at least 5 percent of the credit risk, with exceptions for “qualified residential mortgages.”

As a publicly traded company, WesBanco will be required to give shareholders an advisory vote on executive compensation, and, in some cases, golden parachute arrangements. The Dodd-Frank Act also calls for regulators to issue new rules relating to compensation committee independence, incentive-based compensation arrangements deemed excessive, and proxy access by shareholders.

WesBanco Bank and other insured depository institutions will have increased authority to open new branches across state lines (discussed above under “Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation”). A provision authorizing insured depository institutions to pay interest on checking accounts will likely increase WesBanco’s interest expenses. A new government agency, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (“Consumer Bureau”), will have the authority to write rules implementing numerous consumer protection laws applicable to all banks (discussed below under “Item 1. Business—Consumer Protection Laws”).

CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS

In connection with its lending and leasing activities, WesBanco Bank is subject to a number of federal and state laws designed to protect consumers and promote lending and other financial services to various sectors of the economy and population. These laws include the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and, in some cases, their respective state law counterparts. The Consumer Bureau created by the Dodd-Frank Act will have consolidated authority to write

regulations implementing these and other laws. WesBanco’s other subsidiaries that provide services relating to consumer financial products and services will also be subject to the Consumer Bureau’s regulations. As an institution with assets of less than $10 billion, WesBanco Bank will continue to be examined by the FDIC for compliance with these rules. Relating to mortgage lending, the Dodd-Frank Act requires new disclosures, verification, and restrictions, some of which are expected to limit the creation of variable-rate mortgages. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal Reserve Board to write rules to limit debit card interchange fees to those “reasonable and proportional” to the cost of transactions. Even though the limits on debit card interchange fees will apply only to institutions with more than $10 billion in assets, market forces may limit debit card interchange fees as a source of revenue for all banks, including smaller banks like WesBanco Bank.

Federal law currently contains extensive customer privacy protection provisions. Under these provisions, a financial institution must provide to its customers, at the inception of the customer relationship and annually thereafter, the institution’s policies and procedures regarding the handling of customers’ nonpublic personal financial information. These provisions also provide that, except for certain limited exceptions, an institution may not provide such personal information to unaffiliated third parties unless the institution discloses to the customer that such information may be so provided and the customer is given the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure. Federal law makes it a criminal offense, except in limited circumstances, to obtain or attempt to obtain customer information of a financial nature by fraudulent or deceptive means.

The CRA requires WesBanco Bank’s primary federal bank regulatory agency, the FDIC, to assess the WesBanco Bank’s record in meeting the credit needs of the communities served by the bank, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods and persons. Institutions are assigned one of four ratings: “Outstanding,” “Satisfactory,” “Needs to Improve” or “Substantial Noncompliance.” This assessment is reviewed when a bank applies to merge or consolidate with or acquire the assets or assume the liabilities of an insured depository institution, or to open or relocate a branch office. WesBanco Bank’s current CRA rating is “Outstanding.”

SECURITIES REGULATION

WesBanco’s full service broker-dealer subsidiary, WesBanco Securities, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and in the states in which it does business. WesBanco Securities also is a member of FINRA. WesBanco Securities is subject to regulation by the SEC, FINRA and the securities administrators of the states in which it is registered. WesBanco Securities is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, which in the event of the liquidation of a broker-dealer, provides protection for customers’ securities accounts held by WesBanco Securities of up to $500,000 for each eligible customer, subject to a limitation of $250,000 for claims for cash balances.

In addition, WesBanco Bank’s Investment Department serves as an investment adviser to a family of mutual funds and is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC and in some states.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING INITIATIVES AND THE USA PATRIOT ACT

A major focus of governmental policy on financial institutions in recent years has been aimed at combating money laundering and terrorist financing. The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (“USA Patriot Act”) substantially broadened the scope of United States anti-money laundering laws and regulations by imposing significant new compliance and due diligence obligations, creating new crimes and penalties and expanding the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the United States. The United States Treasury Department has issued various implementing regulations which apply various requirements of the USA Patriot Act to financial institutions, such as WesBanco Bank and WesBanco’s broker-dealer subsidiary. These regulations impose obligations on financial institutions to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing and to verify the identity of their customers. Failure of WesBanco and its subsidiaries to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, or to comply with all of the relevant laws or regulations, could have serious legal and reputational consequences for WesBanco and its subsidiaries.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

The risks described below are not the only ones we face in our business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed.

DUE TO INCREASED COMPETITION, WESBANCO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN BANKING CUSTOMERS AT CURRENT LEVELS.

WesBanco operates in a highly competitive banking and financial industry that could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes. WesBanco faces banking competition in all the markets it serves from the following:

•

local, regional and national banks;

•

savings and loans;

•

internet banks;

•

credit unions;

•

finance companies; and

•

brokerage firms serving WesBanco’s market areas.

In particular, WesBanco Bank’s competitors include several major national financial companies whose greater resources may afford them a marketplace advantage by enabling them to maintain numerous banking locations and mount extensive promotional and advertising campaigns. Additionally, banks and other financial institutions may have products and services not offered by WesBanco, which may cause current and potential customers to choose those institutions. Areas of competition include interest rates for loans and deposits, efforts to obtain deposits and range and quality of services provided. If WesBanco is unable to attract new and retain current customers, loan and deposit growth could decrease causing WesBanco’s results of operations and financial condition to be negatively impacted.

WESBANCO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXPAND ITS TRUST AND INVESTMENT SERVICES SEGMENT AND RETAIN ITS CURRENT CUSTOMERS.

WesBanco may not be able to attract new and retain current investment management clients due to competition from the following:

•

commercial banks and trust companies;

•

mutual fund companies;

•

investment advisory firms;

•

law firms;

•

brokerage firms; and

•

other financial services companies.

Its ability to successfully attract and retain investment management clients is dependent upon its ability to compete with competitors’ investment products, level of investment performance, client services and marketing and distribution capabilities. Due to changes in economic conditions, the performance of the trust and investment services segment may be negatively impacted by the financial markets in which investment clients’ assets are invested, causing clients to seek other alternative investment options. If WesBanco is not successful, its results from operations and financial position may be negatively impacted.

CUSTOMERS MAY DEFAULT ON THE REPAYMENT OF LOANS WHICH COULD SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THROUGH INCREASES IN THE PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES.

The Bank’s customers may default on the repayment of loans, which may negatively impact WesBanco’s earnings due to loss of principal and interest income. Increased operating expenses may result from the allocation of management time and resources to the collection and work-out of the loan. Collection efforts may or may not be successful causing WesBanco to write off the loan or repossess the collateral securing the loan, which may or may not exceed the balance of the loan.

WesBanco maintains an allowance for loan losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, to provide for probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly, which includes testing certain individual loans as well as collective pools of loans for impairment. This evaluation includes an assessment of actual loss experience within each category of the portfolio, individual commercial and commercial real estate loans that exhibit credit weakness; current economic events, including employment statistics, trends in bankruptcy filings, and other pertinent factors; industry or geographic concentrations; and regulatory guidance.

WesBanco’s regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for loan losses. Based on their assessment the regulatory agencies may require WesBanco to adjust the allowance for loan losses. These adjustments could negatively impact WesBanco’s results of operations or financial position.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN WESBANCO’S MARKET AREAS COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT EARNINGS.

WesBanco Bank serves both individuals and business customers throughout West Virginia, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. The substantial majority of WesBanco’s loan portfolio is to individuals and businesses in these markets. As a result, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of WesBanco are affected by local and regional economic conditions. A downturn in these economies could have a negative impact on WesBanco and the ability of the Bank’s customers to repay their loans. The value of the collateral securing loans to borrowers may also decline as the economy declines. As a result, deteriorating economic conditions in these markets could cause a decline in the overall quality of WesBanco’s loan portfolio requiring WesBanco to charge-off a higher percentage of loans and/or increase its allowance for loan losses. A decline in economic conditions in these markets may also force customers to utilize deposits held by WesBanco Bank in order to pay current expenses causing the Bank’s deposit base to shrink. As a result the Bank may have to borrow funds at higher rates in order to meet liquidity needs. These events may have a negative impact on WesBanco’s earnings and financial condition.

CURRENT MARKET INTEREST RATES AND COST OF FUNDS MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT WESBANCO’S BANKING BUSINESS.

Fluctuations in interest rates may negatively impact the business of WesBanco Bank. The Bank’s main source of income from operations is net interest income, which is equal to the difference between the interest income received on interest-bearing assets (usually loans and investment securities) and the interest expense incurred in connection with interest-bearing liabilities (usually deposits and borrowings). These rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond WesBanco’s control, including general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, and the monetary and fiscal policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. WesBanco Bank’s net interest income can be affected significantly by changes in market interest rates. Changes in relative interest rates may reduce the Bank’s net interest income as the difference between interest income and interest expense decreases. As a result, the Bank has adopted asset and liability management policies to minimize the potential adverse effects of changes in interest rates on net interest income, primarily by altering the mix and maturity of loans, investments and funding sources. However, even with these policies in place, WesBanco cannot be certain that changes in interest rates or the shape of the interest rate yield curve will not negatively impact its results of operations or financial position.

WesBanco’s cost of funds for banking operations may increase as a result of general economic conditions, interest rates and competitive pressures. The Bank has traditionally obtained funds principally through deposits and wholesale borrowings. As a general matter, deposits are a cheaper source of funds than borrowings because interest rates paid for deposits are typically less than interest rates charged for borrowings. If, as a result of general economic conditions, market interest rates, competitive pressures or otherwise, the value of deposits at the Bank decreases relative to its overall banking operations, the Bank may have to rely more heavily on borrowings as a source of funds in the future.

SIGNIFICANT DECLINES IN U.S. AND FOREIGN MARKETS COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON WESBANCO’S EARNINGS.

The capital and credit markets have experienced extreme disruption in recent years. These conditions resulted in less liquidity, greater volatility, widening of credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in certain asset types. In many cases, the markets have exerted downward pressure on stock prices, security prices and credit capacity for certain issuers without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial strength. Sustained weakness in business and economic conditions in any or all of the domestic or foreign financial markets could result in credit deterioration in investment securities held by us, rating agency downgrades for such securities or other market factors that could result in us having to recognize other-than-temporary impairment in the value of such investment securities, with a corresponding charge against earnings. Furthermore, our pension assets are primarily invested in equity and debt securities, and weakness in capital and credit markets could result in deterioration of these assets which may increase minimum funding contributions and future pension expense. If the markets deteriorate further, these conditions may be material to WesBanco’s ability to access capital and may adversely impact results of operations.

Further, WesBanco’s trust and investment services income could be impacted by fluctuations in the securities market. A portion of this revenue is based on the value of the underlying investment portfolios. If the values of those investment portfolios decline, the Bank’s revenue could be negatively impacted.

WESBANCO MAY BE REQUIRED TO WRITE DOWN GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, CAUSING ITS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS TO BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED.

When WesBanco acquires a business, a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. The amount of the purchase price which is allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets is determined by the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired. Under current accounting standards, if WesBanco determines goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, it is required to write down the carrying value of these assets. WesBanco conducts an annual review to determine whether goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are impaired. WesBanco completed such an impairment analysis in 2010 and concluded that no impairment charge was necessary for the year ended December 31, 2010. WesBanco cannot provide assurance that it will not be required to take an impairment charge in the future. Any impairment charge would have a negative effect on its stockholders’ equity and financial results and may cause a decline in our stock price.

ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TO WESBANCO IN THE FUTURE.

WesBanco continually evaluates opportunities to acquire other businesses. However, WesBanco may not have the opportunity to make suitable acquisitions on favorable terms in the future, which could negatively impact the growth of its business. WesBanco expects that other banking and financial companies, many of which have significantly greater resources, will compete to acquire compatible businesses. This competition could increase prices for acquisitions that WesBanco would likely pursue, and its competitors may have greater resources than it does. Also, acquisitions of regulated business such as banks are subject to various regulatory approvals. If WesBanco fails to receive the appropriate regulatory approvals, it will not be able to consummate an acquisition that it believes is in its best interests.

WESBANCO IS SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND SUPERVISION.

WesBanco is subject to extensive federal and state regulation, supervision and examination. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, not shareholders. These regulations affect WesBanco’s lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy, operations and growth, among other things. These regulations also impose obligations to maintain appropriate policies, procedure and controls. Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could affect WesBanco in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject WesBanco to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products that could be offered, and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil penalties and /or reputation damage, which could have a material adverse effect on WesBanco’s business, financial condition and result of operations.

As of December 31, 2010, WesBanco had $106.0 million in junior subordinated debt presented as a separate category of long-term debt on its consolidated balance sheets. For regulatory purposes, Trust Preferred Securities totaling $103.0 million underlying such junior subordinated debt are included in Tier 1 capital in accordance with regulatory reporting requirements. On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve adopted a rule that retains trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, but with stricter quantitative limits and clearer qualitative standards. Under the rule, after a transition period that was originally set to end on March 31, 2009 but has since been extended to March 31, 2011, the aggregate amount of trust preferred securities and certain other capital elements will be limited to 25 percent of Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill. The amount of trust preferred securities and certain other elements in excess of the limit can be included in Tier 2 capital, subject to restrictions. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the federal banking agencies to develop new consolidated capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and banks. These rules will generally exclude trust preferred securities from Tier 1 Capital. A grandfather provision will permit bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $15 billion, such as WesBanco, to continue counting existing trust preferred securities as Tier 1 Capital until they mature.

The rule is not expected to have an impact on WesBanco’s Tier 1 capital; but if WesBanco issued additional trust preferred securities, they would not count as Tier 1 Capital. Furthermore, if WesBanco incurs material operating losses, WesBanco’s Tier 1 capital ratio may be negatively impacted. WesBanco’s earnings may also be negatively impacted due to prepayment penalties associated with the redemption of certain of the trust preferred securities.

In addition, new international capital standards known as Basel III are expected to further increase the minimum capital requirements applicable to WesBanco and WesBanco Bank, which may negatively impact WesBanco and the Bank. Additional information about these and other expected changes in capital requirements are in “Item 1. Business—Capital Requirements.”

Regulation of WesBanco and its subsidiaries is expected to continue to expand in scope and complexity in the future. These laws are expected to have the effect of increasing WesBanco’s costs of doing business, reducing its revenues, and may limit its ability to pursue business opportunities or otherwise adversely affect its business and financial condition. The Dodd-Frank Act and other laws, as well as rules implementing or related to them, may adversely affect WesBanco. Specifically, any governmental or regulatory action having the effect of requiring WesBanco to obtain additional capital could reduce earnings and have a material dilutive effect on current shareholders. Legislation and regulation of debit card fees, credit cards and other bank services, as well as changes in WesBanco’s practices relating to those and other bank services, may affect WesBanco’s revenue and other financial results. Additional information about increased regulation is provided in “Item 1. Business” under the headings “Supervisions and Regulation,” “Holding Company Regulations,” “Capital Requirements,” “Dodd-Frank Act,” and “Consumer Protection Laws.”

WesBanco is also subject to tax laws and regulations promulgated by the United States government and the states in which it operates. Changes to these laws and regulations or the interpretations of such laws and regulations by taxing authorities could impact future tax expense and the value of deferred tax assets.

LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF BORROWINGS AND LIQUIDITY FROM THE FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM AND OTHER SOURCES COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT EARNINGS.

WesBanco Bank is currently a member bank of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, and retains certain short-term borrowings from the FHLB of Cincinnati from prior bank acquisitions, but is no longer considered a member bank of such FHLB. Membership in this system of quasi-governmental, regional home-loan oriented agency banks allows us to participate in various programs offered by the FHLB. We borrow funds from the FHLB, which are secured by a blanket lien on certain residential mortgage loans or securities with collateral values in excess of the outstanding balances. Current and future earnings shortfalls and minimum capital requirements of the FHLB may impact the collateral necessary to secure borrowings and limit the borrowings extended to their member banks, as well as require additional capital contributions by member banks. Should this occur, WesBanco’s short-term liquidity needs could be negatively impacted. Should WesBanco be restricted from using FHLB advances due to weakness in the system or with the FHLB of Pittsburgh, WesBanco may be forced to find alternative funding sources. If WesBanco is required to rely more heavily on higher cost funding sources, revenues may not increase proportionately to cover these costs, which would adversely affect WesBanco’s results of operations and financial position.

On December 23, 2008 the FHLB of Pittsburgh announced that it would suspend dividends and the repurchase of excess capital stock from its member banks in order to restore their retained earnings and/or overall risk-based capital ratios. They resumed partial repurchase of excess capital stock in October, 2010. The FHLB of Pittsburgh stock owned by WesBanco totaled $25.0 million and $26.3 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. If the financial condition of the FHLB of Pittsburgh were to further deteriorate, the corresponding FHLB stock owned by WesBanco may be deemed a non-earning asset and could potentially be evaluated for impairment with any loss recognized through earnings.

WESBANCO’S FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS DEPEND ON THE SUCCESSFUL GROWTH OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES.

WesBanco’s primary business activity for the foreseeable future will be to act as the holding company of its banking and other subsidiaries. Therefore, WesBanco’s future profitability will depend on the success and growth of these subsidiaries. In the future, part of WesBanco’s growth may come from buying other banks and buying or establishing other companies. Such entities may not be profitable after they are purchased or established, and they may lose money or be dilutive to earnings per share, particularly for the first few years. A new bank or company may bring with it unexpected liabilities, bad loans, or poor employee relations, or the new bank or company may lose customers and the associated revenue.

WESBANCO’S ABILITY TO PAY DIVIDENDS IS LIMITED, AND COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS MAY HAVE TO BE REDUCED OR ELIMINATED.

Holders of shares of WesBanco’s common stock are entitled to dividends if, when, and as declared by WesBanco’s Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. Although the Board of Directors has declared cash dividends in the past, the current ability to pay dividends is largely dependent upon the receipt of dividends from WesBanco Bank. Federal and state laws impose restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends, which restrictions are more fully described in “Item 1. Business—Payment of Dividends.” In general, future dividend policy is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including WesBanco’s and the Bank’s future earnings, liquidity and capital requirements, regulatory constraints and financial condition.

WESBANCO MAY ENCOUNTER INTEGRATION DIFFICULTIES OR MAY FAIL TO REALIZE THE ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF ACQUISITIONS.

WesBanco may not be able to integrate any new acquisitions without encountering difficulties including, without limitation, the loss of key employees and customers, the disruption of ongoing businesses or possible inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies. Any future acquisitions may also result in other unforeseen difficulties, including integration of the combined companies, which could require significant time and attention from our management that would otherwise be directed at developing our existing business and expenses may be higher than initially projected. In addition, we could discover undisclosed liabilities resulting from any acquisitions for which we may become responsible. Further, benefits such as enhanced earnings that we anticipate from these acquisitions may not develop and future results of the combined companies may be materially lower from those estimated.

HIGHER FDIC DEPOSIT INSURANCE PREMIUMS AND ASSESSMENTS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT WESBANCO’S FINANCIAL CONDITION.

Since 2008, the economic environment caused higher levels of bank failures, which dramatically increased FDIC resolution costs and led to a significant reduction in the deposit insurance fund. In order to restore reserve ratios of the deposit insurance fund, the FDIC has significantly increased the assessment rates paid by financial institutions for deposit insurance. In addition, in May 2009, the FDIC imposed a special assessment on all insured institutions. The FDIC has indicated that future special assessments are possible, although it has not determined the magnitude or timing of any future assessments. Additional increases in FDIC insurance premiums and future special assessments may adversely affect WesBanco’s results of operations and financial condition.

INTERRUPTION TO OUR INFORMATION SYSTEMS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT WESBANCO’S OPERATIONS.

WesBanco relies on information systems and communications for operating and monitoring all major aspects of business, as well as internal management functions. Any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in the WesBanco customer relationship, management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems. While WesBanco has policies, procedures and technical safeguards designed to prevent or limit the effect of any failure, interruption or security breach of its information systems, there can be no assurance that any such failures, interruptions or security breaches will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. Any disruption in the operation of WesBanco’s information systems could damage WesBanco’s reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject WesBanco to additional regulatory scrutiny, and expose WesBanco to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material effect on WesBanco’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

LOSS OF SKILLED EMPLOYEES COULD IMPACT GROWTH AND EARNINGS AND MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON BUSINESS.

Our operating results and ability to adequately manage our growth are highly dependent on the services, managerial abilities and performance of our key employees. Our success depends upon our ability to attract and retain qualified management, loan origination, finance, administrative, marketing and technical personnel and upon the continued contributions of this management and personnel. The unexpected loss of services of key personnel could have an adverse impact on WesBanco’s business, operating results and financial condition because of their skills, knowledge of the local markets, years of industry experience and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel.

WESBANCO IS SUBJECT TO LENDING CONCENTRATION RISKS.

As of December 31, 2010, approximately 66.0% of WesBanco’s loan portfolio consisted of commercial loans. Commercial loans are generally viewed as having more inherent risk of default than residential mortgage or consumer loans. The repayment of these loans often depends on the successful operation of a business or the

sale or development of the underlying property and as a result, is more likely to be adversely affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general. Also, the commercial loan balance per borrower is typically larger than that for residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, inferring higher potential losses on an individual loan basis. The deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in nonperforming loans and a reduction in interest income. An increase in nonperforming loans could result in an increase in the provision for loan losses and an increase in loan charge-offs, both of which could have a material adverse effect on WesBanco’s financial condition and results of operations.

WESBANCO MAY NEED TO RAISE CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE, BUT CAPITAL MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE WHEN NEEDED OR AT ACCEPTABLE TERMS.

Federal and state banking regulators require WesBanco and its banking subsidiary, WesBanco Bank, to maintain adequate levels of capital to support its operations. In addition, in the future WesBanco may need to raise additional capital to support its business or to finance acquisitions, if any, or WesBanco may otherwise elect to raise additional capital in anticipation of future growth opportunities. Many financial institutions have sought to raise considerable amounts of capital over the last two years in response to deterioration in their results of operations and financial condition arising from the turmoil in the mortgage loan market, deteriorating economic conditions, declines in real estate values and other factors. Such overall market demand for capital may diminish WesBanco’s ability to raise additional capital if and when it is needed. Future growth in WesBanco’s earning assets at rates in excess of the rate at which its capital is increased through retained earnings would result in a reduction of WesBanco’s regulatory capital ratios. Also, future unexpected losses, whether resulting from loan losses or other causes, would reduce total capital.

WesBanco’s ability to raise additional capital for parent company or banking subsidiary needs will depend on conditions at that time in the capital markets, overall economic conditions, WesBanco’s financial performance and condition, and other factors, many of which are outside our control. There is no assurance that, if needed, WesBanco will be able to raise additional capital on favorable terms or at all. An inability to raise additional capital may have a material adverse effect on our ability to expand operations, and on our financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

ITEM 1B.

UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2.

PROPERTIES

WesBanco’s subsidiaries generally own their respective offices, related facilities and any unimproved real property held for future expansion. At December 31, 2010, WesBanco operated 112 banking offices in West Virginia, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, and one loan production office, of which 86 were owned and 27 were leased under long-term operating leases. These leases expire at various dates through October 2027 and generally include options to renew. The Bank also owns several regional headquarters buildings in various markets that may also house certain back office functions.

The main office of WesBanco is located at 1 Bank Plaza, Wheeling, West Virginia, in a building owned by WesBanco Bank.

WesBanco, Inc. has eight capital trusts, which are all wholly-owned trust subsidiaries of WesBanco formed for the purpose of issuing Trust Preferred Securities and lending the proceeds to WesBanco. The debentures and trust preferred securities issued by the trusts provide that WesBanco has the right to elect to defer the payment of interest on the debentures and trust preferred securities for up to an aggregate of 20 quarterly periods. However, if WesBanco should defer the payment of interest or default on the payment of interest, it may not declare or pay any dividends on its common stock during any such period.

Federal and state laws impose restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends, which restrictions are more fully described in Item 1. “Business—Payment of Dividends.”

For additional disclosure relating to WesBanco Trust Preferred Securities, refer to Note 12, “Junior Subordinated Debt Owed to Unconsolidated Subsidiary Trusts” in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of December 31, 2010, WesBanco had an active stock repurchase plan in which up to one million shares can be acquired. The plan was originally approved by the Board of Directors on March 21, 2007 and provides for shares to be repurchased for general corporate purposes, which may include a subsequent resource for potential acquisitions, shareholder dividend reinvestment and employee benefit plans. The timing, price and quantity of purchases are at the discretion of WesBanco, and the plan may be discontinued or suspended at any time. There were no general open market repurchases in 2010, other than those for KSOP and dividend reinvestment plans.

Certain information relating to securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is set forth under the heading “Equity Compensation Plan Information” in Part III, Item 12. “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.”

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis represents an overview of the results of operations and financial condition of WesBanco, Inc. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Forward-looking statements in this report relating to WesBanco’s plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions and adequacy of resources, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with WesBanco’s Form 10-Qs for the prior quarters ended September 30, 2010, June 30, 2010, and March 31, 2010, and documents subsequently filed by WesBanco with the SEC, which are available at the SEC’s website www.sec.gov or at WesBanco’s website, www.wesbanco.com. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements, which are not historical fact, involve risks and uncertainties, including those detailed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such statements are subject to important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such statements, including without limitation, the effects of changing regional and national economic conditions; changes in interest rates, spreads on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and associated interest rate sensitivity; sources of liquidity available to WesBanco and its related subsidiary operations; potential future credit losses and the credit risk of commercial, real estate, and consumer loan customers and their borrowing activities; actions of the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, the SEC, FINRA, Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, Securities Investors Protection Corporation, and other regulatory bodies; potential legislative and federal and state regulatory actions and reform, including, without limitation, the impact of the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act; adverse decisions of federal and state courts; fraud, scams and schemes of third parties; internet hacking; competitive conditions in the financial services industry; rapidly changing technology affecting financial services; marketability of debt instruments and corresponding impact on fair value adjustments; and/or other external developments materially impacting WesBanco’s operational and financial performance. WesBanco does not assume any duty to update forward-looking statements.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

WesBanco’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

The most significant accounting policies followed by WesBanco are included in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements. These policies, along with other Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and this MD&A, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Management has identified securities valuation, the allowance for loan losses and the evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment to be the accounting estimates that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

deserve consideration in estimating probable credit losses. The allowance is increased by a provision charged to operating expense and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance at least quarterly. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change from period to period.

The evaluation includes an assessment of quantitative factors such as actual loss experience within each category of loans and testing of certain loans for impairment. The evaluation also considers qualitative factors such as economic trends and conditions, which includes levels of unemployment, real estate values and the impact on specific industries and geographical markets, changes in lending policies and underwriting standards, delinquency and other credit quality trends, concentrations of credit risk if any, the results of internal loan reviews and examinations by bank regulatory agencies, and regulatory guidance pertaining to the allowance for credit losses. Management relies on observable data from internal and external sources to the extent it is available to evaluate each of these factors and adjusts the actual historical loss rates to reflect the impact these factors may have on probable losses in the portfolio.

Commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans greater than $1 million that are internally classified as substandard or doubtful, including loans that are reported as non-accrual or renegotiated are tested individually for impairment. Specific reserves are established when appropriate for such loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows of the loan or the estimated realizable value of the collateral, if any.

General reserves are established for the remainder of the loan portfolio based on historical loss rates adjusted for the impact of qualitative factors as discussed above. Historical loss rates for commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans are determined for each internal risk grade using a migration analysis that categorizes each charged off loan based on its risk grade twelve months prior to the charge-off. Historical loss rates for residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans that are not risk graded are determined for the total of each of those categories of loans. Historical loss rates for deposit account overdrafts are based on actual losses in relation to average overdrafts for the period.

Management has determined that historical loss rates for the most recent twelve month period are generally the most indicative of probable losses inherent in the portfolio. However, management calculates annualized historical loss rates for multiple periods ranging from the most recent three to sixty months and periodically evaluates the loss rates for each of the periods to assess trends in loss rates over time.

Management may also adjust its assumptions to account for differences between estimated and actual incurred losses from period to period. While WesBanco continually refines and enhances the loss estimation models and techniques it uses to determine the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses, there have been no material substantive changes to such models and techniques compared to prior periods. The variability of management’s estimates and assumptions could alter the level of the allowance for credit losses and may have a material impact on WesBanco’s future results of operations and financial condition. See the “Allowance for Loan Losses” section of this MD&A for more information.

Securities Valuation—An investment security is considered impaired if its fair value is less than its cost or amortized cost basis. WesBanco conducts a review each quarter of all securities which are impaired to determine if the impairment is other-than-temporary. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, WesBanco considers the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, evaluating any credit downgrades or other indicators of a potential credit problem, the receipt of principal and interest according to the contractual terms and WesBanco’s intent and ability not to sell or be required to sell its investment prior to recovery of cost. If WesBanco intends to sell or is required to sell the investment prior to recovery of cost, the entire impairment will be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income. If there is no intention or requirement to sell the security, and the impairment is to be considered other-than-temporary based on management’s review of the various factors that indicate credit impairment, the impairment must be separated into credit and noncredit portions. The credit portion is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The noncredit portion is

calculated as the difference between the present value of the future cash flows and the fair value of the security and is recognized in other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets—WesBanco accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest of an acquired business are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition with any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value recorded as goodwill. At December 31, 2010, the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets was approximately $274.1 million and $11.5 million, respectively, which represents approximately 45.2% and 1.9% of total shareholders’ equity, respectively. At December 31, 2010, WesBanco had two reporting units, community banking and insurance services, with goodwill balances of $272.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. As WesBanco continues to acquire additional businesses, goodwill and other intangible assets subject to amortization and/or impairment testing may comprise an even larger percentage of total shareholders’ equity and in turn, increase the risk that its financial position or results of operations could be adversely impacted as discussed below.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with finite useful lives, consisting primarily of core deposit and customer list intangibles, are amortized using straight-line or accelerated methods over their estimated weighted-average useful lives, ranging from ten to sixteen years.

The carrying value of goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment on November 30^th or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment are present. The evaluation for impairment involves comparing the estimated current fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the estimated current fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no additional testing is required and an impairment loss is not recorded. Otherwise, additional testing is performed and to the extent such additional testing results in a conclusion that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.

WesBanco uses market capitalization, multiples of tangible book value, a discounted cash flow model, and various other market-based methods to estimate the current fair value of its reporting units. The resulting fair values of each method are then weighted based on the relevance and reliability of each respective method in light of the current economic environment to arrive at a weighted average fair value. Negative trends in economic growth and challenges specific to the banking industry in recent years have resulted in fewer comparable acquisitions of healthy banks which has depressed average transaction multiples. As a result, more reliance has been placed on the discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model includes various estimates including assumptions regarding an investors’ required rate of return on WesBanco common stock, future loan loss provisions, future net interest margins, along with various growth and economic recovery and stabilization assumptions of the economy as a whole. As the volume and level of activity of mergers and acquisitions of healthy banks increase, more reliance may be placed on market-based methods such as price paid to tangible book value and earnings, and less reliance may be placed on discounted cash flow projections.

WesBanco’s internal evaluation concluded that goodwill was not impaired as of November 30, 2010 for both reporting units. Based on the evaluation as of November 30, 2010, management believes that the fair value of the community banking reporting unit could decline by approximately 31% before further analysis of goodwill impairment would be required.

As of December 31, 2010, there were no significant changes in market conditions, WesBanco operating results, or forecasted future income from November 30, 2010, the date of the most recent goodwill impairment evaluation. Therefore, WesBanco has concluded that goodwill is not impaired as of December 31, 2010. If weak economic conditions continue or worsen for a prolonged period of time, the fair value of the community banking or insurance services reporting units may be adversely affected which may result in impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the future.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives (primarily core deposit and customer list intangibles) are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an intangible asset with a finite useful life is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. Intangible assets with finite useful lives at December 31, 2010 are comprised of $10.9 million in core deposit intangibles held at the Bank and customer list intangibles of $0.5 million and $0.1 million held at WesBanco Securities and Insurance Services, respectively.

In the event WesBanco determined that either its goodwill or finite lived intangible assets were impaired, recognition of an impairment charge could have a significant adverse impact on its financial position or results of operations in the period in which the impairment occurred. Please refer to Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on goodwill and core deposit intangibles.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

WesBanco achieved improved financial performance in 2010 as evidenced by a 90.4% increase in net income available to common shareholders after two years of decreases, in spite of the continuation of a challenging economic environment of high unemployment and depressed housing prices. Improvement in net interest income and many of the non-interest operating areas, a lower provision for credit losses and reduced non-interest expenses combined to provide the improved results. Return on average tangible assets⁽¹⁾ improved to 0.73% from 0.49% in 2009 while return on average tangible equity⁽¹⁾ was 11.72% as compared to 7.26% in the prior year.

Net interest income increased through focused management of rates for lending and for deposits, through balance sheet management strategies to minimize risk and reduce higher cost interest bearing liabilities, primarily certain certificates of deposit and borrowings, and due to the benefits of reduced interest expense from the lower interest rate environment. Although interest rates and loan demand remained low throughout the year, which limited the opportunity for acquiring reasonably priced loans and investments, new and repriced deposits were also significantly less expensive. Lower cost deposits combined with the maturity of higher cost FHLB borrowings significantly reduced interest expense resulting in the 4.9% increase in net interest income. Liquidity provided by loan pay downs and increases in low cost deposits were used to avoid replacement of the maturing borrowings. As a result, FHLB borrowings decreased by 48.9% in 2010 from December 31, 2009.

Lending practices, loan monitoring, workout strategies, and loss recovery programs were further strengthened in 2010 resulting in improved credit quality, lower non-accrual loans, reduced charge-offs by the fourth quarter and an 11.5% decrease in the provision for credit losses as compared to 2009. Non-accrual loans decreased $16.5 million due to the sale of $18.7 million of impaired commercial and commercial real estate loans in the second and third quarters of 2010, resulting in additional charge offs of $13.7 million, further improving the overall quality of the loan portfolio.

Non-interest expense decreased $8.5 million primarily from an organization wide effort to improve efficiency and reduce expenses in most major categories including employee benefits, professional fees, marketing and restructuring expense. These efficiencies were achieved without reducing the effectiveness of operations. However, non-interest income declined in 2010 from the prior year due to lower service charge income from new regulation affecting overdraft fees, charges relating to real estate owned and lower net securities gains, but these decreases were partially mitigated by significant improvement in trust fees, electronic banking fees, securities brokerage revenue and mortgage banking revenues.

The Bank continued its strategy in 2010 of selling most new residential mortgages to the secondary market; as a result, residential real estate loans decreased by $99.7 million. Smaller decreases occurred in commercial and consumer loans while commercial real estate was nearly unchanged. Home equity loans increased 4.0%. Loan growth continued to be challenged by economic conditions and depressed loan demand, as well as charge-offs, sales and workout strategies. However, WesBanco continues to improve underwriting standards and credit quality, and maintains a consistent focus on obtaining appropriate interest rates on new loans, to improve the profitability of the loan portfolio and reduce credit losses as the economic expansion continues.

In 2010, WesBanco improved already strong regulatory capital ratios of 8.35% tier I leverage, 11.94% tier I risk-based capital, and 13.20% total risk-based capital, all of which improved in each of the last five consecutive quarters while both consolidated and bank-level regulatory capital ratios are well above the applicable “well-capitalized” standards promulgated by bank regulators. Total tangible equity to tangible assets⁽¹⁾ was 6.33% at December 31, 2010, an improvement of 45 basis points from 5.88% at year-end 2009, primarily due to balance sheet management strategies and a 3.1% increase in shareholders’ equity primarily from increased retained earnings. The increase in shareholders’ equity was the result of improved operating results net of dividends declared, partially offset by decreases in other comprehensive income due to lower unrealized securities gains at year end as certain term market interest rates rose in the fourth quarter. Total dividends declared for the year were $14.9 million or 41.8% of net income.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act, which contains numerous and wide-ranging reforms to the structure of the U.S. financial system. In addition to various regulations that will be written as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Dodd-Frank Act creates the Consumer Bureau, which will have consolidated authority to write regulations implementing numerous laws including those that define certain processes relating to lending, and required disclosures pertaining to various types of banking transactions. Although the full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act remains somewhat unclear, management expects, over time, that it will reduce revenue and increase expenses. A requirement that could affect 2011 results is for the Federal Reserve Board to write rules to limit debit card interchange fees to those “reasonable and proportional” to the cost of transactions. Even though the limits on debit card interchange fees will apply only to institutions with more than $10 billion in assets, market forces may limit debit card interchange fees as a source of revenue for all banks, including WesBanco Bank. For additional information on the Dodd-Frank Act, see the discussion in “Item 1. Business—Dodd-Frank Act” in this 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EARNINGS SUMMARY

Net income available to common shareholders for 2010 increased 90.4% to $35.6 million from $18.7 million for 2009, while diluted earnings per common share were $1.34, as compared to $0.70 per common share for the prior year. The quarter ending December 31, 2010 was the fifth consecutive quarter of growth in net income and per share earnings on a linked-quarter basis. The growth in net income for all of 2010 was achieved through an 11.5% lower provision for credit losses, a 4.9% improvement in net interest income, higher gross revenues from the Trust, Securities and Mortgage business units totaling $3.3 million, continued cost control throughout the organization resulting in lower overall expenses, and the significant benefits of repurchasing TARP preferred shares in the third quarter of 2009. These improvements were somewhat offset by lower service charges on deposits, reduced net securities gains and increased charges relating to write downs on real estate owned.

Net interest income increased $7.7 million or 4.9% for 2010 as compared to 2009 due to the Bank’s ability to manage rates on its loans and other earning assets, while seeing significant improvement in the cost of funds

for both deposits and other borrowings. Net interest income has now increased for each of the past seven quarters. The net interest margin improved to 3.66% in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 3.60% for the year, an increase of 20 basis points and 24 basis points, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2009. The average rate on interest bearing liabilities decreased by 61 basis points for the year, while the rate on earning assets declined at a much slower pace of 29 basis points. Lower rates and lower average balances on higher-rate certificates of deposit, and an increase in lower cost deposits, primarily money market accounts, all contributed to the improvement in the cost of funds. In addition, the average balance for borrowings, which generally have higher interest costs, decreased by $281.8 million or 38.7% in the fourth quarter of 2010 from the fourth quarter of 2009, through planned reductions utilizing the liquidity obtained through pay downs on loans and increased deposits. The increase in total interest bearing and non-interest bearing demand deposits was primarily due to an 11.0% increase in average non-interest bearing deposit balances as a result of retail marketing campaigns and customer incentives, as well as a focus on increasing treasury management products and services from business customers. Total borrowings, excluding junior subordinated debt, are down to 8.2% of total assets from 12.7% last year.

For 2010, the provision for credit losses decreased $5.8 million, primarily due to a better overall economic environment, and was 103% of net charge-offs for the year. Net charge-offs increased $4.3 million in 2010 as compared to the prior year, primarily due to $13.7 million of charge-offs in the second and third quarter of 2010 related to the sale of certain impaired commercial and commercial real estate loans totaling $18.7 million. Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2010 decreased $16.5 million as compared to December 31, 2009 as a result of the sale of loans and other continuing workout efforts to reduce this category of loans. However, renegotiated loans increased $32.5 million for the year primarily due to rate or other term-related modifications granted to borrowers on construction, commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans. The total allowance for loan losses was relatively unchanged as compared to December 31, 2009 and it represented 1.86% of total loans at December 31, 2010 compared to 1.76% at December 31, 2009.

Total non-interest income decreased $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to decreases in net security gains of $2.7 million, decreases in service charges on deposits of $3.7 million resulting from regulatory changes which led to fewer customer overdraft transactions, and $3.1 million in write-downs in other real estate owned. These write-downs were primarily for an owned hospitality-related property. Improvements in non-interest income included trust fee growth of 15.2% from new business, market improvements, and fourth quarter revisions to fee schedules. In addition, most other major non-interest operating areas increased, including a 14.3% increase in electronic banking fees, a 9.5% increase in securities brokerage income and a 37.8% increase in mortgage banking income. Non-interest expense decreased $8.5 million or 5.7% as compared to 2009. WesBanco took actions in 2010 resulting in significant reductions in costs for many expense categories, including a $1.6 million decrease in employee benefits expense from lower pension and health insurance costs, $1.0 million in professional fees, $0.9 million in marketing expense, $0.8 million in equipment expense, and $1.6 million in restructuring expenses, somewhat offset by increases in foreclosure-related property management expenses totaling $1.6 million. The reduction in restructuring expenses was primarily due to a $1.2 million charge in the fourth quarter of 2009 relating to personnel reductions and impairment on certain premises held for sale. In addition, expense reductions include a decrease in FDIC insurance of $2.1 million primarily due to a special assessment of $2.6 million levied in the second quarter of 2009.

The provision for income taxes increased $5.3 million due to the significant increase in pre-tax income and an effective tax rate in 2010 of 10.9% as compared to a negative effective tax rate in 2009 of (4.3%). The higher effective rate was due primarily to a lower percentage of tax-exempt income to total income and included certain filed return adjustments during the year.

Net interest income, which is WesBanco’s largest source of revenue, is the difference between interest income on earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and interest expense on liabilities (deposits and short and long-term borrowings). Net interest income is affected by the general level and changes in interest rates, the steepness and shape of the yield curve, changes in the amount and composition of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as the frequency of repricing of those assets and liabilities. Net interest income increased $7.7 million or 4.9% in 2010 as compared to 2009 due to increases in the net interest margin resulting from WesBanco’s successful management of rates on the loan portfolio and other earning assets, while seeing significant improvement in the cost of funds for both deposits and other borrowings. Net interest income has now increased for each of the past seven quarters. The net interest margin increased 24 basis points to 3.60% in 2010, as compared to the prior year due to decreases in the average rates on interest bearing liabilities, while rates on earning assets declined at a much slower pace. The net interest margin has also improved consistently since the second quarter of 2009 to 3.66% in the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase in the margin for all of 2010 was partially offset by decreases in average earning assets due to pay downs on loans and sales and maturities of securities used to fund reductions in higher cost borrowings. Lower rates on new deposits, maturities of higher rate certificates of deposit, and an increase in lower cost deposits, primarily money market and other transaction accounts, all contributed to the improvement in the cost of funds. In addition, the average balance in 2010 for borrowings, which generally have higher interest costs, decreased by $252.1 million or 31.7% from 2009 through planned reductions utilizing the liquidity obtained through pay downs on loans and increased deposits. The margin has also benefited from a 7.4% increase in average non-interest bearing deposit balances in 2010 as a result of retail marketing campaigns and customer incentives, as well as a focus on increasing treasury management products and services from business customers.

Interest income decreased 8.1% in 2010 as compared to 2009 due to lower yields and decreases in earning assets. The yield on total average earning assets decreased 29 basis points to 5.07% in 2010 from 5.36% in 2009. Rates decreased on all significant earning asset categories from reduced rates on new and repriced assets due to the lower interest rate environment throughout the last two years. In addition, the mix of earning assets invested in lower yielding securities and due from banks increased, as compared to typically higher-yielding loans. Securities yields decreased 46 basis points in 2010, primarily due to the reinvestment of funds from investment maturities and calls, and from loan prepayments, at current lower available interest rates. Taxable securities yields decreased 42 basis points while tax-exempt securities yields declined only 12 basis points due to the longer average life of the tax-exempt portfolio and limited additions to the portfolio in 2010. Securities purchase decisions in 2010 considered the increased risk in some tax-exempts, which somewhat limited investment opportunities. In addition, variable rate and government supported (Build America Bonds) rate opportunities were available in taxable securities, resulting in an increase in average taxable securities for the year. Repricing of loans and the necessity of offering lower rates on quality credits as a result of the lower interest rate environment caused a decline in loan yields of 17 basis points in 2010. The decrease in average earning assets of $159.2 million in 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in average loan balances of $161.2 million, mostly from

planned reductions in residential mortgage loans, continued depressed loan demand and sales of portfolio loans. In addition, proceeds from loan principal reductions, which generally have higher yields than typical investment types, have been reinvested at lower yields, thus reducing the overall yield of the earning assets.

Average loan balance decreases are primarily due to management’s continued focus on overall profitability of the loan portfolio through disciplined underwriting and pricing practices, the continued strategic decreases in residential real estate loans through the sale of most originations and the sale of certain non-accrual commercial loans. In addition, the slow economic recovery has resulted in lower demand for new construction and development projects in our markets and reduced commercial line usage. These decreases were partially offset by increases in home equity loans through various marketing and targeted sales efforts in our branches. Write-downs, charge-offs and foreclosures have also impacted commercial balances, as well as strategic decreases in certain customer property and commercial types. Consumer loans declined due to reduced demand for automobile and other consumer loan types, other competitive bank and non-bank rate offerings and tighter underwriting standards.

In 2010 interest expense decreased $28.6 million or 28.8% as compared to 2009 due to a 61 basis point decline in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities and a decrease in average interest bearing liabilities of 3.1%. Rates paid on deposits declined by 50 basis points, with rates on CDs declining by 70 basis points, due to management reducing certain interest rates on renewing or rollover CDs to competitive levels in order to realize a lower cost of funds during a period of declining loan yields. This included certain high rate, single service CDs from branches acquired in 2009, which were offered lower rates to renew. In addition, average balances of CDs represented 49.3% of total average deposits in 2010 as compared to 54.8% in 2009, while money market deposit accounts (“MMDA”), with a lower rate of 0.92%, increased to 23.0% of total average deposits in 2010, as compared to 18.3% in 2009. This change in the mix of deposit types, and the reductions in higher cost borrowings, also contributed to the reduced cost of funds. The reduction in average interest bearing liabilities is due to the $252.1 million decrease in borrowings, primarily FHLB and other short term borrowings, partially offset by increases in deposits of $116.9 million. Current balance sheet liquidity from the deposit increases and loan reductions were used to pay down the higher cost maturing borrowings in 2010, further reducing interest expense. Borrowings, excluding junior subordinated debt, were 12.9% of average interest bearing liabilities in 2010 as compared to 18.3% in 2009. Deposit increases were primarily in money market accounts but also included increases in transaction and savings accounts, even as offered rates were reduced. These increases were partially offset by a $132.2 million decrease in certificates of deposit from the more aggressive reductions in rate offerings.

Total loans are gross of the allowance for loan losses, net of unearned income and include loans held for sale. Non-accrual loans were included in the average volume for the entire period. Loan fees included in interest income on loans totaled $4.2 million, $4.6 million and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The yield on earning assets and the net interest margin are presented on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) and annualized basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory tax rate of 35% for each period presented. WesBanco believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The provision for credit losses is the amount to be added to the allowance for credit losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to a level considered appropriate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased $5.8 million or 11.5% to $44.6 million compared to $50.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The provision remained elevated in 2010 due to the ongoing impact of the recession on all categories of the portfolio but the overall decrease in 2010 compared to 2009 reflects a reduction in non-accrual loans, a gradually improving economic environment, a declining historical loss trend for commercial and industrial, home equity and consumer loans, and the net impact of certain events in both years. The provision for 2010 includes approximately $6.8 million to charge-down certain non-performing loans that were sold in the second and third quarters less previously recorded reserves. The provision for 2009 included approximately $7.1 million for two losses attributable to borrower fraud. The provision for 2010 exceeded net charge-offs for the year by $1.1 million compared to $11.2 million in 2009 and increased the allowance for loan losses to 1.86% of total loans at December 31, 2010 compared to 1.76% at December 31, 2009. (Please see the Allowance for Credit Losses section of this MD&A for additional discussion).

Non-interest income is a significant source of revenue and an important part of WesBanco’s results of operations. WesBanco offers its customers a wide range of retail, commercial, investment and electronic banking services, which are viewed as a vital component of WesBanco’s ability to attract and maintain customers, as well as providing additional fee income beyond normal spread-related income to WesBanco. Total non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased $5.0 million, as compared to the same period in 2009. This decrease is due to decreases in service charges on deposits, decreases in net security gains, and $3.4 million in write-downs in other real estate owned. Improvements in non-interest income included trust fee growth of 15.2% and increases in most other major non-interest operating areas including a 14.3% increase in electronic banking fees, a 9.5% increase in securities brokerage revenue and a 37.8% increase in mortgage banking income. For the year ended December 31, 2010, non-interest income was 26.4% of total net revenues as compared to 29.0% for the comparable 2009 period, with net revenue being defined as the total of net interest income and non-interest income. Non-interest income, excluding securities gains, has also improved in each of the last three consecutive quarters in 2010.

Service charges on deposits, which are primarily comprised of customer overdraft fees, were 15.3% lower in 2010 as compared to 2009 due to changes in customer behavior and recent regulatory changes that include requirements for customers to opt in for overdraft coverage of certain types of electronic banking activities. Preceding the August 15, 2010 implementation of the new rules on existing accounts, WesBanco experienced lower daily and monthly overdraft usage patterns as average retail demand deposit balances were higher. Changes in marketing strategies and effectiveness for new demand deposit customers may have also had an impact on the decrease. While an overwhelming majority of WesBanco’s heaviest overdraft users have opted-in to continue such coverage, low response rates from infrequent users may have some impact on our ability to earn associated fees.

Trust fees improved $2.1 million as compared to 2009 due to higher market values of managed assets period over period and the implementation of a fee increase in October of 2010. The market value of trust assets under management increased from $2.7 billion to $2.9 billion from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010. The increase in trust assets was principally due to market gains and new business in the last twelve months. At December 31, 2010, trust assets include managed assets of $2.4 billion and non-managed (custodial) assets of $0.5 billion. Assets managed for the WesMark funds, a proprietary group of mutual funds that are advised by WesBanco’s trust and investment services group, were $748.1 million as of December 31, 2010 and $659.2 million at December 31, 2009 and are included in trust managed assets.

Electronic banking fees improved by $1.1 million in 2010 as compared to the prior year, due to a higher volume of debit card transactions during the period.

Net securities brokerage revenue improved $0.4 million in 2010 as compared to 2009, as the 2009 period included only nine months of revenue from new sales representatives in the Columbus, Ohio market, who established operations in March of 2009.

Gains on the sale of loans increased in 2010 by 37.8% as compared to 2009 due to more aggressive loan pricing despite a 7% decline in residential mortgage loans sold into the secondary market over the period, while adjustments in the market value of investments in the deferred compensation plan represented the majority of the change in other non-interest income.

Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased $8.5 million or 5.7% as compared to the same period in 2009. WesBanco took actions in 2010 resulting in significant reductions in costs for many expense categories, including employee benefits, equipment, marketing, professional fees and restructuring expenses, somewhat offset by increases in foreclosure-related property management expenses. In addition, the expense reductions include a decrease in FDIC insurance of $2.1 million primarily due to a special assessment of $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2009 partially offset by premium increases due to higher deposit levels.

Salaries and wages remained relatively unchanged for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, primarily due to a reduction in full-time equivalent employees offset by higher brokerage commissions and management bonuses. Full-time equivalent employees declined from 1,393 at December 31, 2009 to 1,377 at December 31, 2010 primarily as the result of planned efficiencies created through a reduction in overtime and other hours worked in certain retail branches and other departments. Employee benefits declined $1.6 million in 2010 compared to the prior year due to lower defined benefit pension expense and decreases in employee health insurance costs, partially offset by stock compensation expense and a market value adjustment on the deferred compensation plan.

Marketing expenses declined $0.9 million in 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily due to reduced free checking promotions, which were increased in 2009 to establish greater name identity in the former AmTrust branch market area, and reduced new customer cash incentives.

WesBanco closed and consolidated two branches in the Columbus market in the third quarter of 2010; however the acquisition of five branches in March 2009 and increased maintenance and other seasonal costs in the first quarter 2010 resulted in higher net occupancy expenses of $0.5 million for the year. Restructuring and merger-related expenses declined $1.6 million from the prior period as a result of charges in 2009 relating to personnel reductions, impairment on certain premises held for sale and costs associated with the branch acquisition. Consulting expenses declined $1.0 million as compared to 2009.

ATM and interchange expenses, equipment, communications, debit card processing fees and other miscellaneous expenses all experienced declines in 2010 mostly due to WesBanco’s continued efforts to manage costs and the effects of certain contract renewals. Electronic bill pay expenses were down $0.3 million due to a one-time $0.5 million contract termination fee in 2009, while other real estate owned and foreclosure expenses were up $1.6 million due to increased foreclosure activity and related property management expenses.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for federal and state income taxes increased to $4.3 million in 2010 as compared to 2009. The increase in income tax expense was due to a $17.0 million increase in pre-tax income, and a higher effective tax rate of 10.9% as compared to (4.3%) for 2009. The increase in the effective tax rate was due primarily to higher pre-tax income and a lower percentage of tax-exempt income to total income and included certain filed return adjustments during the year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets decreased 0.7% in 2010, while total deposits and stockholders’ equity increased 5.0% and 3.1%, respectively, as compared to December 31, 2009. The decrease in total assets was primarily the result of a $182.3 million or 5.3% decrease in portfolio loans due to continued strategic decreases in residential real estate loans and certain impaired loans, a focus on reasonable credit terms and interest spreads, and compressed demand for commercial and consumer loans as a result of the slow economic recovery. The decrease in the loan portfolio was partially offset by a $159.2 million or 11.8% increase in investment securities and cash and due from banks. The increase in total deposits was primarily a result of a 19.6% increase in money market deposits, which combined with slight increases in demand and savings deposits, offset the 3.5% decrease in certificates of deposit. The decrease in certificates of deposit was due to planned reductions of non-relationship customers acquired with a branch acquisition in 2009. The liquidity provided by the increase in deposits and decrease in the loan portfolio was partially utilized to pay down higher cost FHLB advances and other short-term borrowings by $243.9 million or 35.6% as compared to December 31, 2009. Total shareholders’ equity increased by $18.1 million primarily due to net income exceeding dividends paid to common shareholders by $20.7 million for the year, which was partially offset by a $2.8 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income resulted from unrealized losses recorded in the available-for-sale securities portfolio somewhat offset by unrealized gains in the defined pension plan in 2010. The tangible equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP measure) increased to 6.33% at December 31, 2010 from 5.88% at December 31, 2009, primarily as a result of the increase in shareholders’ equity coupled with a slight decrease in tangible assets.

(1)	At December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, there were no holdings of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and certain federal or federally-related agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of WesBanco’s shareholders’ equity.

(2)	Weighted average yields have been calculated on a taxable-equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 35%.

Total investment securities, which represent a source of liquidity for WesBanco as well as a contributor to interest income, increased $162.9 million, or 12.9% from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010. The increase in securities from year end 2009 was due primarily to the investment of cash received from increases in deposits as well as decreases in portfolio loans over the course of 2010. The securities increase for the year was most noticeable in the other government agencies and municipal securities categories, as WesBanco responded to the lower interest rate environment by investing more in variable rate government agencies and higher yielding taxable Build America municipal bonds. WesBanco does not have any material investments in private mortgage-backed securities or those that are collateralized by sub-prime mortgages, nor does WesBanco have any exposure to collateralized debt obligations or government sponsored enterprise preferred stocks.

As of April 30, 2010, available-for-sale securities with a fair value of $426.7 million were transferred to the held-to-maturity portfolio. The available-for-sale securities were transferred at fair market value at a net unrealized gain of $8.9 million recorded as a premium and included in the amortized cost of the

held-to-maturity securities. The premium is being amortized over the remaining life of the securities through other comprehensive income, with no effect on net income. The securities consisted of government agency residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, and both taxable and tax-exempt state and municipal obligations that had longer average lives or lower coupons.

The investment portfolio’s tax-equivalent yield, combining both the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale portfolios decreased from 4.57% in 2009, to 4.11% in 2010. The decrease is primarily attributable to the continuing lower interest rate environment which affected the repricing of certain municipal securities, coupled with the investment of cash into lower yielding securities. Cash flows from the portfolio due to calls, maturities and prepayments increased to $422.7 million for 2010, from $395.5 million for 2009. Higher prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed securities, coupled with a higher volume of calls and lower reinvestments on municipal securities in the lower rate environment led to the increased cash flows.

Total gross unrealized securities losses increased by $9.7 million, from $4.1 million at December 31, 2009 to $13.8 million at December 31, 2010. WesBanco had $530.8 million in investment securities in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months at December 31, 2010, which was a significant increase from the $292.7 million for the same category at December 31, 2009, primarily due to late year increases in interest rates and municipal bond spreads. In addition, at December 31, 2010, WesBanco had $1.0 million in investment securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months which was a reduction from the $15.9 million for the same category at December 31, 2009. WesBanco believes that all of the unrealized securities losses at December 31, 2010 were temporary impairment losses due to changes in market rates in relation to fixed yields with no credit impairment issues. Please refer to Note 3, “Securities,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Net unrealized pre-tax gains on available-for-sale securities were $7.8 million at December 31, 2010, as compared to $20.8 million at December 31, 2009. These net unrealized pre-tax gains represent temporary fluctuations resulting from changes in market rates in relation to fixed yields in the available-for-sale portfolio, and on an after-tax basis are accounted for as an adjustment to other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. The decrease in the net unrealized gains is primarily due to late 2010 increases in interest rates.

Cost method investments consist primarily of FHLB stock totaling $28.0 million and $30.9 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. On December 23, 2008 the FHLB of Pittsburgh announced that it would suspend dividends and the repurchase of excess capital stock from its member banks until further notice. During 2010, the stock repurchase suspension was lifted on a limited basis. The FHLB of Pittsburgh stock owned by WesBanco does not have a readily determinable fair value and is recorded as a cost method investment totaling $25.0 million and $26.3 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is held primarily to serve as collateral on FHLB borrowings. Although the FHLB of Pittsburgh has suspended dividends and limits the repurchase of excess capital stock, they are meeting their current debt obligations, have continued to exceed all required capital ratios, and have remained in compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2010, WesBanco believes that sufficient evidence exists to conclude that its investment in FHLB stock was not impaired. At December 31, 2010, WesBanco held excess capital stock of $6.6 million that remains to be repurchased by the FHLB of Pittsburgh. In February 2011, the FHLB of Pittsburgh repurchased an additional $1.2 million of excess capital stock.

Due to the suspension of dividends on FHLB of Pittsburgh stock, WesBanco has not recognized any dividend income on FHLB of Pittsburgh for the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009. Additionally, the Bank owned $2.9 million and $4.6 million of FHLB of Cincinnati stock at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which paid a cash dividend at an annualized rate of 4.37% in 2010 totaling $0.2 million and a cash dividend of $0.3 million in 2009, representing an annualized rate of 4.63%.

Total municipal bond portfolio	$	470,162		100.0	%	$	363,619		100.0	%

WesBanco’s municipal bond portfolio consists of both taxable (primarily Build America Bonds) and tax-exempt general obligation and revenue bonds. As of December 31, 2010, $346.4 million or 73.7% were categorized as general obligation bonds and $123.8 million or 26.3% were categorized as revenue bonds. At December 31, 2009, $286.4 million or 78.8% were categorized as general obligation bonds and $77.2 million or 21.2% were categorized as revenue bonds.

In addition, at December 31, 2010, $54.1 million or 11.5% of the municipal bond portfolio consisted of state issued bonds, and $416.1 million or 88.5% were locally issued, approximately the same as the totals at December 31, 2009. The portfolio is broadly spread across the U.S., with bonds totaling 57% in the top five states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Texas, and West Virginia, respectively.

LOANS AND CREDIT RISK

Loans represent WesBanco’s single largest balance sheet asset classification and the largest source of interest income. Business purpose loans consist of commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans and other commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans that are not secured by real estate. Consumer purpose loans consist of residential real estate loans, home equity lines of credit and other consumer loans. Loans held for sale generally consist of residential real estate loans originated for sale in the secondary market, but at times may also include other types of loans. The outstanding balance of each major category of the loan portfolio is summarized in Table 9.

Total portfolio loans decreased $182 million or 5.3% between December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 as all categories of the portfolio were impacted by decreased demand attributed to the prolonged recession or to strategic management decisions to limit or reduce certain types of lending. Loan growth in all categories of the portfolio was also tempered by disciplined underwriting and management’s focus on maintaining credit quality and obtaining appropriate interest rates and spreads on new loans.

Total CRE loans decreased $23 million or 1.3% and the composition of the CRE portfolio also changed over the course of the year. CRE land and construction loans, which also includes residential housing development loans decreased $100 million or 39.2% while other CRE loans increased $77 million or 5.0%. A significant amount of the offsetting change from land and construction to other CRE is attributable to over $120 million of CRE construction projects being completed and converted to permanent financing during the year. Conversely, new CRE construction loans originated in 2010 decreased significantly and represented only $21 million of CRE land and construction loans at December 31, 2010. The decrease in new CRE construction activity was partially due to reduced demand and the bank’s limits on this type of lending other than for high quality owner occupied or pre-leased commercial projects. In addition, residential housing development loans decreased $10 million or 24.1% as management also avoided financing new projects due to the overall decline in housing markets. While other CRE loans benefited from the reclassification of completed construction projects, origination of new loans to purchase or refinance existing properties declined in 2010 as a result of overall economic conditions while planned exits and the sale of distressed CRE loans also contributed to a reduction in the other CRE category.

C&I loans decreased $39 million or 8.6% as loan demand remained soft due to economic conditions and a general reduction in business activity. Residential real estate loans other than land and construction decreased $99 million or 14.1% primarily due to continued intentional reduction in the retention of fixed rate residential real estate loans throughout most of the year. Residential land and construction loans are not material in relation to total residential real estate loans, but also decreased $1 million or 12.2% due to fewer new housing starts. Home equity lines of credit were a source of modest loan growth despite declining home values and stricter underwriting standards for the second consecutive year, increasing $10 million or 4.0% due to successful marketing strategies. Consumer loans decreased $30 million or 10.4% primarily due to reduced demand as consumers continued to deleverage as well as stricter underwriting standards for certain types of consumer loans.

Loan commitments, which are not reported on the balance sheet, consist of available balances on lines of credit, letters of credit, deposit account overdraft protection programs, certain loan guarantee contracts, and approved commitments to extend credit. This includes unused commitments that are available to be advanced to the borrower for CRE construction loans, C&I lines and letters of credit, home equity and other consumer lines of credit. Approved commitments to extend credit are reported net of any WesBanco loan balances that are to be refinanced by the new loans. Loan commitments are summarized in Table 10.

Total portfolio loan commitments decreased $61 million or 8.1% between December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 primarily due to the previously discussed completion of CRE construction projects and reduction in new construction lending activity.

CRE construction loan commitments are generally available to the borrower for a period of time that is sufficient to complete construction and allow for the sale or lease-up of the project upon completion. Therefore, CRE construction loan commitments generally extend beyond one year depending on the scope of the project and the anticipated sale or lease-up period. C&I lines and letters of credit are generally renewable or may be cancelled annually by the bank but may also be committed for more than one year when appropriate. Owner-occupied residential real estate construction loan commitments are generally available for one year but may extend beyond one year depending on the size of the dwelling. Home equity and other consumer lines of credit are generally available to the borrower beyond one year. All loan commitments are cancelable by the bank regardless of their duration under certain circumstances.

Overdraft protection limits are established for demand deposit accounts that meet the criteria for eligibility and represent potential loan balances. While these limits generally permit automatic advances when sufficient collected balances are not available, such advances are subject to the bank’s discretion and may be suspended or cancelled at any time.

Credit Risk—The risk that borrowers will be unable or unwilling to repay their obligations and default on loans is inherent in all lending activities. Credit risk arises from many sources including general economic conditions, external events that impact businesses or industries, isolated events that impact a major employer,

individual loss of employment or other personal calamities and changes in the value of collateral. Credit risk is also impacted by a concentration of exposure within a geographic market or to one or more borrowers, industries or collateral types. The primary goal in managing credit risk is to minimize the impact of default by an individual borrower or group of borrowers.

WesBanco extends credit to borrowers that are primarily located within the market areas where the bank has branch offices. There are no material loans in relation to the total portfolio to commercial borrowers that do not conduct business within the bank’s market or to finance commercial real estate located outside of the bank’s market areas unless the borrower also has significant other loan, deposit, trust or other business relationships with the bank. WesBanco may make consumer loans, including residential real estate and home equity lines of credit to established customers for second residences or vacation homes that are located outside of the bank’s market. The approximate geographic distribution of the loan portfolio excluding deposit overdraft limits is summarized in Table 11.

Most loans, except for indirect consumer loans originated by automobile and recreational vehicle dealers and other sellers of consumer goods, are originated directly by the bank. WesBanco may also participate in CRE and C&I loans, including Shared National Credits or purchased pools of residential real estate loans originated by other lending institutions. Shared National Credits are defined as loans in excess of $20 million that are financed by three or more lending institutions. WesBanco conducts its own customary credit evaluation before purchasing or participating in these loans. The risks associated with purchased loans are similar to those originated by the bank; however, additional risk may arise from limited ability to control actions of the lead, agent or servicing institution.

Credit risk is managed through the initial underwriting process as well as through ongoing monitoring and administration of the portfolio that varies by the type of loan. The bank’s credit policies establish standard underwriting guidelines for each type of loan and require an appropriate evaluation of the credit characteristics of each borrower. This evaluation includes the borrower’s primary source of repayment capacity; the adequacy of collateral, if any, to secure the loan; the potential value of personal guarantees as secondary sources of repayment, and other factors unique to each loan that may increase or mitigate its risk.

All loans, including renewals and extensions thereof are approved within a framework of progressive individual lending authorities based on the loan amount for consumer purpose loans and the total credit exposure of the borrower for business purpose loans. Business purpose loans with total credit exposure generally less than $500,000 and all consumer purpose loans are approved by underwriters that are not responsible for business development or loan origination. Business purpose loans to borrowers with total credit exposure in excess of $1.5 million minimally require the approval of a credit officer that is not responsible for business development or loan origination. Credit exposures in excess of $7.5 million require approval of a credit committee. Loans of all types that contain one or more exceptions to credit policy may only be approved by designated underwriters, senior business unit managers or credit officers within their respective levels of authority.

Credit bureau scores are also considered when evaluating consumer purpose loans. However, the bank has not historically updated credit bureau scores for consumer borrowers subsequent to when loans are made to determine changes in their credit history. WesBanco generally does not originate sub-prime loans as a business strategy. However, the bank does at times extend consumer purpose loans to borrowers that may have one or more characteristics of a sub-prime borrower. These loans are generally made only when the credit risk associated with the sub-prime characteristics of the borrower are properly justified and mitigated by other factors such as acceptable co-makers, additional collateral, or deposit and other non-lending relationships of the borrower with the bank and are made on terms that are appropriate for their higher level of risk. Such loans are not material in relation to the aggregate of all types of consumer loans.

Consumer purpose loans are a homogeneous group, generally consisting of standardized products that are smaller in amount and spread over a larger number of individual borrowers. WesBanco does not maintain current information about the industry in which consumer borrowers are employed. While such information is obtained when each loan is made, it often becomes inaccurate with the passage of time or as borrowers change employment during the term of their loans. Instead, WesBanco estimates potential exposure based on consumer demographics, market share, and other available information when there is a significant risk of loss of employment within an industry or a significant employer in any of the bank’s markets. The bank generally does not risk grade consumer purpose loans other than as required by the regulatory uniform classification guidelines. To management’s knowledge, there are no concentrations of employment that would have a material adverse impact on consumer purpose loans. However the current economic environment has resulted in higher unemployment throughout the bank’s market which increases the risk in the loan portfolio.

Many smaller business loans have the same risk characteristics as consumer loans; however business loans can also be significantly larger in amount and contain terms and conditions that are unique to each transaction. The bank maintains a loan grading system that categorizes business loans according to their level of credit risk. Risk grades are intended to reflect each borrower’s ability to repay their loan obligations and other factors that affect the quality of each loan. All business loans are assigned a grade at their inception and adjusted thereafter at any time to reflect changes in the risk profile throughout the life of each loan. Loans to borrowers with total credit exposure of $1 million or more are generally reviewed at least annually to validate the continued appropriateness of the assigned risk grade. Periodic reviews include evaluating the borrower’s continued capacity to repay, the continued adequacy of collateral, if any, the ability of guarantors to provide a secondary source of repayment, and verification of compliance with applicable loan covenants. To facilitate regular reviews of repayment capacity, borrowers are required to furnish periodic financial statements and other information depending on the size and type of loan, such as accounts receivable aging reports for a revolving line of credit and rent rolls for investment CRE.

Credit risk is mitigated for all types of loans by continuously monitoring delinquency levels and pursuing collection efforts at the earliest stage of delinquency. The bank also monitors general economic conditions, including employment, housing activity and real estate values in its market. The bank also periodically evaluates and changes its underwriting standards when conditions indicate that a change is warranted based on market conditions, the historical performance of a category of the portfolio, or other external factors. Credit risk is also regularly evaluated for the impact of adverse economic and other events that increase the risk of default and the potential loss in the event of default to understand their impact on the bank’s earnings and capital. An independent loan review function also performs periodic reviews of the portfolio to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the bank’s portfolio monitoring systems, and the accuracy and timeliness of risk grades assigned to business loans.

Each type of loan may also entail certain distinct elements of risk that impact the manner in which those loans are underwritten, monitored, and administered. Elements that are distinct to the underwriting of each type of loan are further explained throughout this section of MD&A.

Commercial Real Estate—CRE consists of loans to purchase, construct or refinance owner-occupied and investment properties. Owner-occupied properties consist of loans to borrowers in a diverse range of industries but may include special purpose or single use types of facilities. Investment properties include 1-to-4 family rental units, multi-family apartment buildings, and other facilities that are rented or leased to unrelated parties of the owner. Construction and development loans include loans to finance land acquisition and development, construction of residential dwellings for resale, and construction of commercial buildings which may be owner-occupied or for investment. Construction loans are generally made only when the bank also commits to the permanent financing of the project, has a takeout commitment from another lender for the permanent loan, or the loan is expected to be repaid from the sale of subdivided property.

Construction and development loans require payment of interest only during the construction or development period, which can range from as short as six months to up to three years for larger, multiple phase projects such as residential housing developments and large scale commercial projects. Interest rates may be fully floating based on an appropriate index but may also be structured in the same manner as the interest rate that will apply to the permanent loan upon completion of construction. Interest reserves are generally established as part of the initial underwriting of the project to provide for payment of interest during the construction period.

Other CRE loans generally require monthly principal and interest payments based on amortization periods ranging from 10 to 25 years depending on the type, age and condition of the property. Loans with amortization periods of more than 20 years typically also have a maturity date or call option of 10 years or less. Interest rates generally are adjustable ranging from one to five years based on an appropriate index of comparable duration.

The primary factors that are considered in underwriting construction and development loans are the overall viability of each project as well as the experience and financial capacity of the developer or builder to successfully complete the project. Market absorption rates and property values are also considered in underwriting construction and development loans. Construction loans also have the unique risk that the builder or developer may not complete the project, or not complete it on time or within budget. Construction risk is generally mitigated by making construction loans to developers with established reputations who operate in the bank’s markets and have the necessary capital to absorb unanticipated increases in the cost of a project, periodically inspecting construction in progress, and disbursing the loan as specified stages of each project are completed. Certification of completed construction by a licensed architect or engineer and performance and payment bonds may also be required for certain types of projects. Construction and development loans that finance speculative building have inherently higher risk. When appropriate, the bank may require a specified percentage of a residential development to be pre-sold or a commercial investment property to be pre-leased before construction can begin. Many land development and residential construction projects are experiencing decreased absorption of new units compared to original projections for sales at the time the project was undertaken and will most likely require repayment periods that are extended beyond their original maturity.

The primary factors that are considered in underwriting investment property are the net rental income generated by the property, the type, quality, industry and mix of tenants and the terms of leases, all of which may vary depending on the specific type of property. Other factors that are considered for investment property include the overall financial capacity of the investors and their experience in owning and managing investment property.

Repayment of owner-occupied loans must come from the cash flow generated by the owner-occupant’s business. Therefore, the primary factors that are considered in underwriting are the historical and projected earnings, cash flow, capital resources, liquidity and leverage of the business. Other factors that are also considered for their potential impact on repayment capacity include the borrower’s industry, competitive advantages and disadvantages, quality and experience of management, and external influences on the business such as economic conditions.

The type, age, condition and location of the property as well as any environmental risks associated with the property are considered for both owner-occupied and investment properties. Environmental risk is mitigated by requiring assessments performed by qualified inspectors whenever the current or previous uses of the property, or any adjacent properties, are likely to have resulted in contamination of the subject property.

Credit risk is mitigated by limiting total credit exposure to individual borrowers or groups of borrowers and avoiding concentrations by property type or within geographic markets. Credit risk is further mitigated by requiring borrowers to have adequate down payments or cash equity, thereby limiting the loan balance in relation to the lower of the cost or market value of the property, unless there are sufficient mitigating factors that would reduce the risk of a higher loan-to-value ratio. The bank also makes periodic site visits to financed properties and monitors the factors in the bank’s markets that influence real estate collateral values such as rental rates, occupancy trends, and capitalization rates.

Market values are generally determined by obtaining current appraisals of each property prior to the loan being made. Loan-to-value ratios are generally limited to the maximum loan-to-value ratios prescribed by banking regulations which range from 65% for raw land to 85% for improved commercial property and are based on the lesser of the cost or market value of the property. Regardless of policy or regulatory guidelines lower ratios may be required for certain types of properties or when other factors exist that may increase the potential volatility of the market value of a particular property type such as single or special use properties that cannot be easily converted to other uses. Conversely, higher loan-to-value ratios may be acceptable when other factors adequately mitigate the risk of a higher loan-to-value. Owner-occupied CRE loans are often also secured by all other business assets in addition to the real estate.

Regulatory guidelines also limit the aggregate of loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of the prescribed loan-to-value ratios to 30% of risk-based capital. The aggregate of CRE loans that exceeded the regulatory ratios approximated $68 million or 15% of risk-based capital at December 31, 2010.

The current downturn in the real estate market has resulted in significant declines in property values for most property types and in most geographic markets. The exact impact of the decline in collateral values cannot be precisely determined but the portfolio is periodically evaluated using ranges of decline in value to determine the impact on the continued adequacy of the collateral. New appraisals are obtained under certain circumstances to more accurately assess the current market value when the primary source of repayment may no longer be adequate to repay the loan under its original terms and there is increased dependence on the value of the collateral.

The bank also monitors CRE loans for potential concentrations by geographic location, within a single property type, or dependence on a common tenant for investment property. The geographic distribution of CRE loans is set forth in Table 11. The composition of CRE loans by property or project type is set forth in Table 14. There is no concentration of loans secured by properties that are occupied by a common tenant or a group of tenants in the same industry.

(1)	Average loan and largest loan represent the average, or largest, contractual obligation of WesBanco, which may or may not be fully funded.

Land and land development exposure decreased $11 million or 12.3%, residential development exposure decreased $9 million or 17.6%, and commercial construction exposure decreased $86 million or 48.8% between December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010. The decrease in the land and land development, and residential development exposures reflects the bank’s efforts to reduce exposure to these loans from the sale of units and

restricting funding of additional units. However, the decrease was tempered by slower than anticipated absorption of units on many existing projects. The decrease in commercial construction exposure is the result of projects being completed and reclassified to other categories throughout the year as well as a reduction in new commercial construction commitments. Approximately 25% of land and land development, 48% of residential development, and 59% of commercial construction exposures are in the Columbus, Ohio market at December 31, 2010. There is no land development, residential construction or commercial construction exposure outside of the bank’s defined markets.

Investment CRE exposure increased $65 million or 6.8% as a result of completed construction projects being reclassified to appropriate other CRE categories, new loans to purchase or refinance high quality properties throughout the year and a reduction in prepayments from secondary or capital market sources of refinancing of portfolio loans. Multi-family apartment and residential investment property loans represent a substantial percentage of this category of the portfolio with the Columbus, Ohio market and southwestern Ohio markets in and around the Cincinnati and Dayton metropolitan areas representing approximately 33% and 17% of multi-family apartment loans and 23% and 20% of 1-to-4 family rental property loans, respectively. The remainder of the investment CRE exposure is fairly well distributed among property types with the Columbus and southwestern Ohio markets similarly representing approximately 32% and 22% of the total, respectively.

Owner-occupied CRE exposure decreased $34 million or 5.1% as a result of general economic conditions as well as the reclassification of certain properties to investment CRE where the owner occupies less than half of the property. Owner-occupied is also generally diversified by property type and is more geographically diverse than investment CRE with the upper Ohio Valley market in and around the Wheeling, West Virginia MSA representing approximately 27% of the category and no other market representing more than 20% of the total. WesBanco also categorizes owner-occupied CRE loans by industry according to standard industry classifications and monitors the portfolio for possible concentrations in one or more industries as well as multiple industries that may be impacted in the same manner by economic events or other external influences. Owner-occupied CRE is not concentrated in any single industry, but reflects a diverse range of businesses from all sectors of the economy with only one sector representing more than 25% of risk-based capital as set forth in Table 15.

The five largest CRE customer relationships which may include loans that are identified as the largest loan by property or project type in Table 14 and by industry in Table 15 approximate $170 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $125 million at December 31, 2009. The majority of the loans to these customers finance multi-family apartments and retail or office investment properties.

Participations in CRE loans originated by other financial institutions approximated $70 million or 3.7% of total CRE credit exposure at December 31, 2010 compared to $78 million or 4.0% at December 31, 2009. Included in this total is approximately $17 million of Shared National Credits at December 31, 2010 compared to $23 million at December 31, 2009. All of this exposure to participations purchased from other institutions is for properties located within the bank’s defined market.

In addition to the methods in which the bank monitors the CRE portfolio for possible concentrations of risk, the regulatory agencies use a two threshold test to identify whether a bank has an overall concentration of CRE lending. The first threshold measures whether loans for land, land development, residential construction and commercial construction exceed 100% of risk-based capital. The second threshold measures whether the total of loans included in the first threshold plus multi-family and other commercial investment property exceed 300% of risk-based capital. The following table summarizes the bank’s CRE exposure according to the regulatory concentration guidelines.

WesBanco categorizes 1-to-4 family rental property loans as CRE for financial reporting purposes because those loans are investment property and generally dependent on rental income for their repayment. However, loans secured by 1-to-4 family property are not included in the definition of CRE for purposes of the concentration tests. Similarly, loans secured by owner-occupied CRE are also excluded for purposes of the concentration tests.

Commercial and Industrial Loans—C&I loans consist of revolving lines of credit to finance accounts receivable, inventory and other general business purposes, and term loans to finance fixed assets other than real estate for a wide variety of businesses. Most C&I borrowers are privately held companies with annual sales generally not in excess of $50 million. Commercial lines of credit and letters of credit are generally renewable or may be cancelled annually by the bank. However, lines of credit and letters of credit may also be committed for more than one year when appropriate. Loans secured by equipment and other types of collateral have terms that are consistent with the purpose of the loan and the estimated useful life of the collateral that generally do not exceed ten years. Interest rates on lines of credit are generally variable based on a short-term interest rate index such as the Prime Rate or LIBOR while interest rates on term loans may be fixed for the entire term of the loan or adjustable ranging from one to five years based on an appropriate index.

The primary factors that are considered in underwriting C&I loans are the borrower’s historical and projected earnings, cash flow, capital resources, liquidity and leverage. Other factors that are also considered for their potential impact on repayment capacity include the borrower’s industry, competitive advantages and disadvantages, quality and experience of management, and external influences on the business such as economic conditions.

C&I risk is mitigated by limiting total credit exposure to individual borrowers or groups of borrowers, industries and geographic markets and by requiring collateral where appropriate. The type and amount of the collateral varies from loan to loan depending on the overall financial strength of the borrower, the amount and terms of the loan, and the collateral available to be pledged by the borrower. Unsecured credit is only extended to those borrowers that exhibit consistently strong repayment capacity and the financial condition to withstand a temporary decline in their operating cash flow.

Certain types of collateral that fluctuate with business conditions, such as accounts receivable and inventory, may also be subject to regular reporting and certification by the borrower and, in some instances, independent inspection or verification by the bank. Readily marketable collateral such as securities, including securities held in WesBanco trust accounts, significantly mitigates credit risk but are subject to fluctuations in market value. Therefore, the current value of marketable securities held as collateral are regularly monitored to evaluate their continued adequacy.

The bank categorizes C&I loans by industry according to standard industry classifications and monitors the portfolio for possible concentrations in one or more industries as well as multiple industries that may be impacted in the same manner by economic events or other external influences. The C&I portfolio is not concentrated in any single industry, but reflects a diverse range of businesses from all sectors of the economy, with no significant concentration in any single sector or industry as set forth in Table 18 and the composition of C&I loans did not change materially between December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010. Unclassified and other industries include approved loan commitments that have not yet been categorized according to any particular industry at December 31, 2010.

(1)	Average loan and largest loan represent the average, or largest, contractual obligation of WesBanco, which may or may not be fully funded.

The five largest C&I borrowing relationships, which may include loans identified as the largest loan within an industry in Table 18 approximate $121 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $140 million at December 31, 2009 and are not concentrated in any one industry. Approximately $50 million of this total is fully secured by marketable securities with a conservative loan-to-value ratio. The total of loans secured by bank deposit accounts and marketable securities which represent the lowest risk when properly margined and monitored approximate 18% of total C&I exposure at December 31, 2010 compared to 15% at December 31, 2009. Conversely, unsecured loans which represent the highest risk approximate 11% of total C&I exposure at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The largest unsecured loan is $2 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $3 million at December 31, 2009 and the average unsecured loan is less than $100,000 at both year-ends.

Approximately 30% of C&I exposure is to borrowers in or around the Wheeling, West Virginia market and another 34% is to borrowers in the other West Virginia markets. No other market represents more than 20% of the C&I portfolio. Refer to Table 11 for the geographic distribution of C&I loans.

Participations in C&I loans originated by other financial institutions approximated $34 million or 5% of total C&I exposure at December 31, 2010 compared to $66 million or 9% at December 31, 2009. Included in this total is approximately $27 million of Shared National Credits at December 31, 2010 compared to $45 million at December 31, 2009. All of this exposure to participations purchased from other institutions is to borrowers that are headquartered in or have significant operations within the bank’s defined market.

When the total exposure of owner-occupied CRE set forth in Table 15 is combined with C&I exposure set forth in Table 18, the largest combined industry exposures are personal and professional services, physicians and healthcare services, and other retail sales which approximate $190 million, $184 million and $119 million or 43%, 42% and 27% of risk-based capital, respectively. Personal, professional and administrative services are further diversified among a variety of different types of service businesses, physicians and healthcare services are further diversified among many medical fields of practice or types of facilities, while other retail sales consists primarily of gasoline stations and convenience stores, building and home products stores, grocery stores and general merchandise stores. No other industries represent more than 25% of risk based capital or more than 10% of the total of owner-occupied CRE and C&I exposure.

Residential Real Estate Loans—Residential real estate consists of loans to purchase, construct or refinance personal residences, including 1-to-4 family rental properties when the property is also the owner’s primary residence or the loans were underwritten by acquired banks as residential real estate loans. The bank originates conforming and non-conforming mortgages to be held in its portfolio as well as loans for sale in the secondary market. Non-conforming mortgages are those loans that do not meet all of the documentation standards for sale in the secondary market.

The bank originated approximately $57 million of residential real estate loans for retention in the portfolio in 2010 compared to $31 million in 2009 and approximately $148 million of residential real estate loans for sale in the secondary market in 2010 compared to $158 million in 2009. The increase in loans originated for the portfolio is attributable to management’s decision in the second half of the year to begin retaining higher quality loans in the portfolio instead of allowing the residential real estate portfolio to decrease as loans are repaid. The modest decrease in loans originated for sale in the secondary market is attributable to that strategic decision as well as the overall slowdown in the housing market.

Residential real estate loans are generally underwritten to secondary market lending standards even when the loan will be retained in the portfolio. The bank uses automated underwriting systems developed for the secondary market that rely on empirical data to evaluate each loan application and assess credit risk. When appropriate, automated underwriting systems are supplemented by a traditional analysis of the borrowers’ ability to repay their obligations, their credit history, the amount of their down payment, and the market value or other characteristics of the property.

Construction loans require payment of interest only during the construction period, which generally ranges from six to twelve months, but may be longer for larger residences. Loans for vacant land generally begin amortizing immediately and are refinanced when the owner begins construction of a residence. Conventional residential real estate loans can have terms ranging up to 30 years. Interest rates on residential real estate loans held in the portfolio may be fixed for up to 15 years. The remainder of the portfolio has interest rates that are primarily based on the Treasury Constant Maturity index and generally adjust from between one and five years. The bank does not originate stated income, interest only or option adjustable rate mortgages for retention in the portfolio or for sale in the secondary market.

Credit risk in the residential real estate portfolio is mitigated by requiring borrowers to have adequate down payments or equity in the property, thereby limiting the amount of the loan in relation to the appraised value of the property. The bank generally does not make residential real estate loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 90% and loan requests that exceed 80% of the value of the property are generally also supported by mortgage insurance.

Residential real estate loans include construction loans for residences that are being built under contract for owner occupants and loans to finance vacant land upon which the owner intends to construct a residence at a future date. Loans to contractors to finance speculative residential construction and land for development are categorized as CRE loans. Residential construction loans have the added risk that the builder may not complete the residence, or not complete it on time or within budget. Residential construction loans are typically made with the expectation that they will convert to a permanent mortgage loan upon completion of construction.

Construction risk is mitigated by evaluating the builder’s reputation and capacity to complete each project, periodically inspecting construction in progress, and disbursing the loan as specified stages of each project are completed. Residential construction lending activity was relatively flat in 2010 compared to 2009 as the prolonged recession continued to have an impact on new housing starts.

The bank generally does not obtain new appraisals of residential properties unless the borrower requests a modification or refinance of the loan or the loan is in default and there is increased dependence on the value of the collateral. Therefore, it is difficult to fully assess the degree to which residential real estate loans may no longer be adequately protected by the value of their collateral. Approximately $396 million or 59% of residential real estate loans were originated in the five year period from 2002 to 2006 prior to the downturn in housing. The remaining balance of loans originated during this period as a percentage of the original loan amount ranges from 87% for loans originated in 2006 to 54% for loans originated in 2002. Since most of these loans were originated subject to a loan-to-value ratio of 80% or less, most of the loans originated during this period should still be adequately secured despite declining property values. Approximately $137 million or 22% of residential real estate loans originated after 2006 or subsequent to the beginning of the downturn in housing were underwritten to more conservative lending standards and the loan-to-value ratio for most of these loans would have been determined based on newer appraisals that reflected lower property values.

The aggregate of residential real estate loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 90% without some form of credit enhancement such as mortgage insurance approximate $19 million or 4% of risk-based capital at December 31, 2010 compared to approximately $22 million or 5% of risk-based capital at December 31, 2009.

Rental properties underwritten as residential real estate loans by acquired banks approximate $38 million or 6% of total residential real estate loans at December 31, 2010 in addition to 1-to-4 family rental property loans that are included in CRE loans. These properties have generally experienced higher delinquency and greater declines in value than owner-occupied dwellings.

Approximately $24 million or 4% of residential real estate consists of pools of mortgages originated by other institutions. These loans originated primarily in 2004 and have remaining balances that represent approximately 25% of their original amounts through scheduled and unscheduled repayments. Approximately 75% of the loans in these pools financed properties in the states of West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania or contiguous states.

Approximately 48% of residential real estate loans are secured by properties in West Virginia where property values have generally been more stable. Residential real estate values have generally declined since 2007 with the western Ohio markets experiencing the most significant decreases. Approximately 20% of residential real estate loans are secured by properties in the western Ohio markets. Residential real estate loans secured by properties located outside the bank’s defined markets are minimal and typically consist of loans to bank customers for second or vacation homes or loans included in purchased pools of mortgage loans originated by other institutions. Refer to Table 11 for the geographic distribution of residential real estate loans.

Home Equity Lines of Credit—Home equity lines of credit consist of revolving lines to consumers that are secured by first or second liens on primary residences generally located within the bank’s defined markets. Home equity lines are generally limited to an amount in relation to the market value of the property net of the first mortgage, if any, which generally cannot exceed 90% of the property value. In addition, the maximum loan-to-value ratio is tiered based on the loan amount and the borrower’s credit history. Most home equity lines of credit originated prior to 2005 are available to the borrower as a revolving line of credit for up to 15 years, at which time the outstanding balance is required to be repaid over a term of not more than 7 years. Most home equity lines of credit originated since 2005 are available to the borrower for an indefinite period of time as long as the borrower’s credit characteristics do not materially or adversely change, but may be cancelled by the bank under certain circumstances.

The primary factors that are considered in underwriting and managing credit risk of home equity lines of credit are similar to residential real estate and consumer loans. The risk associated with the revolving availability of home equity lines is also mitigated by the borrower’s periodic reduction of the principal balance of their first mortgage, if any, through regular monthly payments, which increases the residual value of the collateral in relation to the amount of the home equity line. However, declining property values also adversely impact the collateral position of home equity lines of credit. Similarly, if a borrower’s first mortgage requires interest only or is a type of loan that can result in negative amortization the risk associated with that borrower’s home equity line of credit increases. Sufficient information about each borrower’s first mortgage loan is not readily available to fully measure this risk.

Credit risk in the home equity portfolio is managed by monitoring delinquency levels and trends, and economic and other factors that influence real estate collateral values in the bank’s defined markets. Irregular or unusual patterns of usage of available lines of credit may also indicate a change in risk. The average usage of home equity lines of credit has generally ranged between 50 and 60 percent of the available balance over a period of several years and there were no material changes in usage patterns within the portfolio in 2010.

Approximately 56% of home equity lines of credit are secured by properties in West Virginia where property values have generally been more stable. As previously stated, residential real estate values have generally declined since 2007 with the western Ohio markets experiencing the most significant decreases. Approximately 20% of home equity lines of credit are secured by properties in the western Ohio markets. Refer to Table 11 for the geographic distribution of home equity lines of credit.

Consumer Loans—Consumer loans consist of installment loans originated directly by the bank and, indirectly through dealers to finance purchases of automobiles, motorcycles, boats, and other recreational vehicles, and lines of credit that are either unsecured or secured by collateral other than motorized vehicles or residential real estate.

The maximum term for automobile loans and other installment loans is generally 84 months but may be less depending on the age of the automobile and other factors while the maximum term for recreational vehicle loans

is generally 180 months. The maximum term for unsecured loans typically does not exceed 60 months. Consumer lines of credit are generally available for an indefinite period of time as long as the borrower’s credit characteristics do not materially or adversely change, but may be cancelled by the bank under certain circumstances. Interest rates on installment obligations are generally fixed for the term of the loan and lines of credit are fully adjustable based on the prime rate.

The primary factors that are considered in underwriting consumer loans are the borrowers’ ability to repay their obligations, which also includes an evaluation of their previous credit history. Credit risk in the consumer portfolio is managed by monitoring delinquency levels and trends, and economic and other factors that may influence consumer repayment capacity.

Approximately 40% of consumer loans are secured by a motorized vehicle while another 28% are secured by recreational vehicles at December 31, 2010 which is comparable to the portfolio composition at December 31, 2009. Loans secured by bank deposits or readily marketable collateral, which represent the lowest risk when properly margined and monitored, approximate $23 million or 9% of total consumer loans at December 31, 2010 compared to approximately $23 million or 8% at December 31, 2009. Conversely, unsecured consumer loans, which represent the highest risk, approximate $21 million or 8% of total consumer loans at December 31, 2010 compared to $24 million or 8% at December 31, 2009. All other consumer loans which represent approximately 15% of the total are secured by real estate, mobile homes, farm equipment or some other type of consumer goods. Indirect loans originated by automobile and other motor vehicle dealers represent 55% of total consumer loans.

Loans Held For Sale—Loans held for sale consists of residential real estate loans originated for sale in the secondary market at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Credit risk associated with residential real estate loans held for sale in the secondary market is mitigated by entering into sales commitments with secondary market purchasers at the time the loans are originated. This practice has the effect of minimizing the amount of such loans and the interest rate risks that are within the portfolio at any point in time. WesBanco generally does not service these loans after they are sold. While all loans are sold without recourse, WesBanco may be required to repurchase loans that it sells in the secondary market under certain circumstances. The number and principal balance of loans that WesBanco has been required to repurchase historically has not been material and therefore, no allowance has been established for such exposure.

Several acquired banks serviced many of the residential real estate loans that they sold in the secondary market. Although these loans are not carried as an asset on the balance sheet, the bank continues to service these loans (see Note 5 “Loans Serviced for Others and Mortgage Servicing Rights” to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

CREDIT QUALITY

This section of the MD&A discusses those categories of assets that have adverse risk characteristics. Non-performing assets consists of non-accrual and renegotiated loans, other real estate and repossessed assets. Also included in this section of MD&A are other impaired loans, past due loans, and criticized or classified CRE and C&I loans.

The bank seeks to develop individual strategies for all assets that have adverse risk characteristics that are intended to minimize potential loss. However, there is no assurance that such strategies will be successful and loans may ultimately result in foreclosure or other course of liquidation that does not fully satisfy the amount of the loan. Management has significantly increased the level of attention given to collection efforts and administration of these assets that includes hiring additional staff dedicated to their administration and regular monthly meetings devoted to the monitoring their status. While these efforts have generally been successful to maintaining credit quality, the challenging economic environment has still adversely impacted credit quality in all categories of the loan portfolio.

Table 22 summarizes non-performing assets.

Non-Accrual Loans—Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they become past due 90 days or more unless they are both well secured and in the process of collection. Non-accrual loans decreased $16.5 million or 25% from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 after more than doubling in 2009. The sale of

approximately $25 million of loans with a net recorded investment of $18.7 million in the second and third quarters of 2010 accounts for a substantial portion of the decrease in 2010 along with other successful workout strategies, liquidation of collateral and recognition of losses on other loans. Non-accrual loans are comprised primarily of smaller loans with only two CRE loans having balances greater than $1 million. However, approximately $4.7 million of the total consists of several smaller CRE loans to multiple borrowers with common ownership that are secured by 1-to-4 family residential rental properties. Approximately $9.9 million or 20% of total non-accrual loans, including the previously mentioned loans to related borrowers and one of the loans with a balance greater than $1 million, also have terms that have also been renegotiated concurrent with or subsequent to being placed on non-accrual. Geographically, $30 million or 61% of total non-accrual loans are in the central and southwest Ohio markets.

Renegotiated Loans—Loans are categorized as renegotiated or troubled debt restructurings, when the bank, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions that may be granted include a reduction of the interest rate, the amount of accrued interest, or the face amount of the loan; as well as an extension of the maturity date or the amortization schedule. These loans continue to accrue interest so long as the borrower is able to continue repayment in accordance with the renegotiated terms. Loans may be removed from renegotiated status when they return to their original terms if the borrower demonstrates the capacity to resume repayment under the original terms.

Renegotiated loans tripled from $15.0 million to $47.5 million from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010. The increase in renegotiated loans reflects the bank’s willingness to work with distressed borrowers that have some capacity for continuing repayment of their loans under modified terms. CRE loans represent the most significant increase in renegotiated loans. Renegotiated loans generally consist of a smaller number of larger loans, as thirteen loans have balances greater than $1 million and the average balance approximates $0.6 million. The six largest renegotiated loans with balances greater than $2 million aggregated $25.5 million, or over half of the total. Six renegotiated loans with aggregate balances of $0.5 million were past due 30 days or more at December 31, 2010. Geographically, $30 million or 84% of total renegotiated loans are in the central and southwest Ohio markets.

New policies adopted in December 2008 that were aimed at reducing foreclosures resulted in an increase in renegotiated residential real estate loans at December 31, 2009. Renegotiated loans in this category of the portfolio were up $0.6 million, or 22% in 2010 as new inflows exceeded loans returning to their original terms or exiting the portfolio when borrowers were able to sell their residence and pay off the loan. Most renegotiated residential real estate loans continue to pay in accordance with their modified terms and none were past due 30 days or more at December 31, 2010.

Other Real Estate and Repossessed Collateral—Other real estate primarily consists of property acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure but may also include bank premises held for sale and residences of bank employees purchased to facilitate the relocation of those employees within the bank. Repossessed collateral primarily consists of automobiles and other types of collateral acquired to satisfy defaulted consumer loans. The bank seeks to minimize the period for which it holds other real estate and repossessed collateral while also attempting to obtain a fair value from the disposition of those assets. Therefore, the sale price of these assets is dependent on current market conditions that affect the value of real estate and used automobiles or other collateral. Other real estate and repossessed collateral decreased $0.6 million or 7% between December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010. The largest property in this category was secured by a hotel in Columbus, Ohio, carried at $0.9 million as of December 31, 2010. Losses on this property exclusive of ongoing operating expenses, totaling $3.1 million in 2010, were recognized in non-interest income as losses on other real estate owned.

Other Impaired Loans—Other impaired loans consist of loans that are internally risk graded as substandard that continue to accrue interest, are not renegotiated and are not fully secured by the value of the collateral or the observable market price for the loan is less than its outstanding balance. Other impaired loans include loans for which a specific reserve is established and acquired loans for which a credit valuation

adjustment was recorded at the time of acquisition. Other impaired loans exhibit some adverse credit characteristics but continue to accrue interest because they are generally paying current. Table 23 summarizes other impaired loans which decreased $0.2 million or 2% between December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010.

Non-Performing Asset and Impaired Loan Activity—Net changes in non-performing assets and impaired loans between December 31, 2009 and 2010 are discussed in the preceding paragraphs. However, the net changes in period ending balances were impacted by significant activity that increased or decreased each category throughout the year which is summarized in Table 24. Economic conditions caused more loans to be placed on non-accrual, renegotiated or otherwise deemed impaired and also contributed to increased foreclosures in 2010.

Foreclosure activity that resulted in additions to other real estate decreased minimally in 2010 compared to 2009 as commercial and residential real estate defaults remained at historically high levels. Charge-downs of other real estate in 2010 include $3.1 million attributable to one hotel property that was foreclosed in the previous year. Despite high unemployment, repossessions of other collateral which primarily consists of automobiles that secure consumer loans decreased 41% in 2010 compared to 2009. Net gains or losses on the disposition of other real estate and repossessed assets are credited or charged to earnings and approximated $1.1 million of net loss in 2010 compared to $0.6 million of net loss in 2009.

Past Due Loans—Loans that are past due and continuing to accrue interest and are not renegotiated are considered under-performing but have not yet progressed to the point where they are considered non-performing

or impaired. Certain loans that are past due 90 days or more continue to accrue interest because they are deemed to be well secured and in the process of collection. These loans may migrate to non-accrual status if they are not brought current or below 90 days past due within a reasonable period of time. Earlier stage delinquency consists of loans that are between 30 and 89 days past due and require routine collection efforts to prevent them from becoming more seriously delinquent. Early stage delinquency represents potential future non-performing loans if routine collection efforts are not successful. Table 26 summarizes loans that are contractually past due 30 days or more for all categories of the loan portfolio.

Loans past due 90 days or more increased $2.4 million or 46% from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase in residential real estate and home equity loans offset by a decrease in CRE loans. However, loans past due 90 days or more continue to represent a very small percentage of total loans. Loans past due 30 to 89 days decreased $0.6 million or 2% from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 as a result of a continued focus on controlling early stage delinquency. C&I is the only category that experienced a significant increase in 30 to 89 days past due loans as a result of a first time delinquency of one loan with a balance of $1.8 million. Management believes that loans past due 30 to 89 days represent an acceptable percentage of total loans.

Criticized and Classified Loans—As previously stated the bank uses a system of loan classification by internally assigned risk grades to monitor the credit quality of CRE and C&I loans. The bank’s criticized and classified loan grades are equivalent to the classifications used by banking regulators to identify those loans that expose the bank to the highest levels of risk. All CRE and C&I loans are graded including loans that are also reported as non-performing, impaired or past due in the preceding sections of this MD&A. Non-performing and other impaired loans are generally classified as substandard or doubtful while past due loans may not yet be criticized or classified depending on the severity and frequency of delinquency and other factors that are considered to determine the appropriate grade. Table 27 summarizes criticized and classified CRE and C&I loans.

The increase in criticized and classified CRE loans that began in 2008, due to the overall weakness in the economy, continued through the end of 2010 but with modest improvement in certain categories. Criticized land and construction loans decreased $19.4 million or 42% from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 while classified land and construction loans increased $8.7 million or 58%. The overall net reduction in criticized and classified land and construction loans was due to the bank working out of a number of existing projects and curtailing new construction and development lending. One land development loan that was downgraded during the year represents $6.3 million of the decrease in criticized and most of the increase in classified land and construction loans. Other classified CRE loans increased $19.5 million or 27% from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 as higher investment property vacancies and a decline in the revenue and earnings of many owner-occupied industry sectors significantly impacted the risk profile of other CRE loans. Conversely, criticized and classified C&I loans decreased $8.0 million or 16%, approximately half of which was the result of loans that were upgraded due to improvement in their risk profile with the remainder attributable to the bank exiting certain loans from the portfolio during the year.

The amount reported as classified in Table 27 includes loans that may also be reported as non-performing or impaired; however, loans that are reported as criticized generally are not also reported as non-performing or impaired unless the loan has been renegotiated. Approximately $19 million or 80% of classified CRE land and construction loans, $60 million or 65% of classified other CRE loans, and $8 million or 32% of classified C&I loans are reported as non-performing or impaired at December 31, 2010 compared to $7 million or 49% of classified CRE land and construction loans, $56 million or 77% of classified other CRE loans, and $13 million or 47% of classified C&I loans at December 31, 2009. Approximately $4 million of criticized other CRE loans is reported as non-performing as of December 31, 2009 and 2010, which represents one loan that is also reported as renegotiated.

Total charge-offs increased $5.3 million or 13% while total recoveries increased $1.0 million or 52%, resulting in a $4.3 million or 11% increase in net charge-offs for 2010 compared to 2009.

Net charge-offs of CRE land and construction loans increased $0.2 million or 6% due to continued weakness in construction and development throughout 2009 and 2010. Net charge-offs of other CRE loans increased $9.2 million or 73% due primarily to declining property values that impacted the proceeds received from liquidation of a number of properties during the year. CRE charge-offs in 2010 included $11.7 million of charges recognized upon the sale of loans with a net recorded investment of $15.7 million. Approximately 80%

of CRE charge-offs came from loans in the central and western Ohio where property values have experienced the most significant declines and another 13% of the total came from the western Pennsylvania market. Multi-family apartment and office buildings represented 20% and 16% of total CRE charge-offs in 2010.

Net charge-offs of C&I loans decreased $4.9 million or 38%, however C&I net charge-offs in 2009 included two losses attributable to borrower fraud that totaled $7.1 million. Excluding fraud losses from the prior year, C&I net charge-offs increased $2.2 million or 37% as the prolonged recession resulted in an increase in the number of small business failures during the year. C&I charge-offs in 2010 included $2.0 million of charges recognized upon the sale of loans with a net recorded investment of $3.0 million. No single industry sector represented more than 25% of C&I charge-offs in 2010.

Net charge-offs of residential real estate loans increased $2.1 million or 75% primarily due to increased unemployment and declining real estate values in the Ohio markets. However, net charge-offs of home equity lines of credit, which historically have represented a relatively insignificant percentage of total net charge-offs decreased $0.3 million or 29%. Approximately 65% of residential real estate loan charge-offs came from loans in the central and western Ohio market and was also impacted by losses on certain 1-to-4 family rental properties included in the residential real estate totals.

Net charge-offs of consumer loans decreased $1.4 million or 27% despite high unemployment in most of the bank’s markets and a challenging economic environment for many consumers. Consumer losses were not attributable to any single market but recreational vehicle loans represented 32% of total consumer charge-offs in 2010 compared to 25% in 2009. Losses on unsecured loans represent another 21% and 24% of total consumer charge-offs in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Net charge-offs of deposit account overdrafts decreased 15% as a result of stricter qualifying criteria for pre-authorized overdraft protection.

Table 29 summarizes net charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans for each category of the loan portfolio as well as selected other relationships of the allowance and provision for credit losses to total loans and other specified categories of loans.

The allowance for credit losses consists of a general allowance and specific reserves for certain impaired credits. The bank uses the most recent 12 month historical net loss rate by risk grade for CRE and C&I loans and for the total of the other categories of the portfolio as a base loss rate for the general allowance. The base loss rate is adjusted for the impact of qualitative factors, or judgmental factors which in the opinion of management are appropriate to accurately reflect probable loss in each category. Qualitative factors include changing economic conditions, delinquency and non-performing loan trends, changes in lending policies and credit standards, concentrations of credit exposure if any, the results of regulatory examinations and internal loan reviews, and other external factors. Table 30 summarizes each of these components of the allowance for credit losses.

Total allowances for credit losses	$	62,455	$	61,355	$	50,171	$	38,792	$	31,979

The allowance for credit losses increased $1.1 million or 2% from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010, although the allowance for loan losses was relatively flat year-over-year. The amount of the general allowance for loan losses attributable to historical loss experience increased $1.3 million as a result of higher net charge-offs in most categories of the portfolio for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010. However, this increase was offset by a reduction in qualitative and judgmental factors and resulted in a net decrease of $2.5 million in the total general allowance. Specific reserves increased $2.4 million primarily due to lower current appraised values on non-performing and other impaired CRE and C&I loans. The increase in specific reserves is primarily attributable to an increase in renegotiated and other impaired loans. As historical loss rates and specific reserves increased, management’s estimates of additional losses based on qualitative and judgmental factors were no longer considered appropriate.

The economic downturn and ensuing recession that began in 2007 together with increased levels of non-performing and criticized and classified loans and other changes in the portfolio caused management to increase the allowance beginning in 2007. As a result, more of the general allowance was attributed to qualitative factors in prior years. Management’s estimates of probable losses in prior years has been corroborated by the higher level of net charge-offs in the current period. The decrease in the amount of the general allowance attributable to qualitative factors at December 31, 2010 is due to management’s perception that historical loss rates have most likely peaked and may stabilize or begin to decline in 2011. Therefore, the most recent trailing 12 month historical loss rate is considered to be more indicative of probable loss in the portfolio at December 31, 2010 and does not warrant increases in the qualitative factors. However, a reversal of recent positive economic indicators that the recession has ended could result in a different assessment of probable loss in future periods.

The allowance for loan commitments increased $1.2 million from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 primarily as a result of an approved commitment to extend an additional $1 million to finance tenant improvements to a property that secures a CRE loan that is already reported as impaired at December 31, 2010. The additional loan will improve the borrower’s repayment capacity but will not result in an immediate corresponding increase in the market value of the property. Therefore, the entire amount of this commitment was reserved at December 31, 2010 but will transfer to the allowance for loan losses as a specific reserve when the loan is funded in 2011.

The allocation of the allowance for credit losses to each category of the loan portfolio is summarized in Table 31.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses for all categories of the loan portfolio reflect the net effect of changes in historical net loss rates by risk grade for CRE and C&I loans and for the total of other categories, changes in loan balances for each category or by risk grade, the level of non-performing and other impaired loans, and management’s judgment with respect to economic and other relevant factors.

The allowance for CRE land and construction and other CRE loans increased due to higher net charge-offs, increases in specific reserves on non-performing and other impaired loans, and the impact of declining property values. The allowance for C&I loans decreased primarily due to a net decrease in total C&I loans and the impact of fraud losses incurred in 2009 no longer being includable in the trailing 12 month base historical loss rate for desirable and acceptable risk grade loans. The fraud losses impacted the loss rate on desirable and acceptable risk graded loans because the loans were included in those grades prior to the loss being incurred. The allowance for residential real estate loans increased due to higher net charge-offs, declining property values and high unemployment in the bank’s markets which more than offset the impact of the significant decrease in residential real estate loans. The allowance for home equity lines of credit decreased consistent with lower net charge-offs which was partially offset by growth in this category of the portfolio and the unemployment and declining property value factors. The allowance for consumer loans decreased consistent with the decreases in consumer loan balances and net charge-offs despite higher unemployment. The allowance for deposit account overdrafts increased despite lower net charge-offs due to the high unemployment factor.

The most significant change in the allowance for loan commitments is attributable to the previously described commitment to extend additional credit against property that secures an already impaired loan.

Table 32 summarizes changes in the allowance for credit losses applicable to each category of the loan portfolio.

Although the allowance for credit losses is allocated as described in Tables 31 and 32, the total allowance is available to absorb actual losses in any category of the loan portfolio. However, differences between management’s estimation of probable losses and actual incurred losses in subsequent periods for any category may necessitate future adjustments to the provision for loan losses applicable to the category. Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate to absorb probable losses at December 31, 2010.

Total deposits	$	4,172,423	$	3,974,233	$	198,190			5.0	%

Deposits, which represent WesBanco’s primary source of funds, are offered in various account forms at various rates through WesBanco’s 112 branches in West Virginia, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. The FDIC insures all deposits up to $250,000 and insures all deposits held in non-interest bearing transaction accounts until December 31, 2012.

Total deposits increased by $198.2 million or 5.0% in 2010 primarily due to a 19.6% increase in money market deposits along with smaller increases in non-interest bearing demand, interest bearing demand and savings deposits of 8.4%, 6.8% and 9.2%, respectively. These increases were due to continued efforts to obtain more account relationships, while continuing to lower rates on interest bearing accounts.

Certificates of deposit decreased by 3.5% during 2010 due primarily to the effects of an overall corporate strategy designed to increase and remix overall retail deposit relationships with a focus on overall products that can be offered at a lower cost to the bank. The decline in certificates of deposit is also impacted by customer preferences in the current low interest rate environment and other alternatives in the marketplace. WesBanco does not generally solicit brokered or other deposits out-of-market or over the internet, but does participate in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Services (CDARS^®) program, which had $246.3 million in total outstanding balances at December 31, 2010 of which $171.6 million represented one way buys, as compared to $134.2 million in total outstanding balances at December 31, 2009, as WesBanco attempts to lengthen certificate of deposit maturities to reduce sensitivity to future rising interest rates. Certificates of Deposit of $250,000 or more were approximately $186.5 million at December 31, 2010 as compared to $171.0 million at December 31, 2009. Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more were approximately $791.7 million at December 31, 2010 as compared to $648.6 million at December 31, 2009, while certificates of deposit totaling approximately $831.4 million at December 31, 2010 with a cost of 1.30% are scheduled to mature within the next year. WesBanco will continue to focus on its core deposit strategies and improving its overall mix of transaction accounts to total deposits as well as offering special promotions on certain certificates of deposit maturities and savings products based on competition, sales strategies, liquidity needs and wholesale borrowing costs.

WesBanco participated in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Transactional Account Guarantee Program, which provided FDIC guarantees on deposits up to $250,000 and on all balances of non-interest bearing and interest bearing demand deposits paying interest of less than 50 basis points through June 30, 2010 and 25 basis points thereafter through December 31, 2010. On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”) permanently raised the FDIC insurance coverage limit to $250,000. In addition, Dodd-Frank provided for temporary unlimited FDIC insurance for all deposits held in non-interest bearing transaction accounts beginning December 31, 2010 and continuing through December 31, 2012.

Borrowings are a less significant source of funding for WesBanco and in the current yield environment certain borrowings may be more expensive than other available funding sources including deposits. WesBanco has reduced FHLB and other short-term borrowings, including federal funds purchased, utilizing funds provided by an increase in deposits and a reduction in loans as part of a strategy to de-leverage the balance sheet and improve the net interest margin. During the 2010 year, FHLB borrowings decreased $242.8 million or 48.9% from December 31, 2009. Other short-term borrowings decreased by $1.1 million or 0.6% from December 31, 2009 and junior subordinated debt declined $5.1 million primarily from the redemption of a $5.0 million trust preferred security in the third quarter of 2010.

WesBanco is a member of the FHLB system. The FHLB system functions as a borrowing source for regulated financial institutions that are engaged in residential and commercial real estate lending and securities investing. WesBanco uses term FHLB borrowings as a general funding source and to more appropriately match interest maturities for certain assets, as an alternative to shorter term wholesale borrowings. FHLB borrowings are secured by blanket liens on certain residential and other mortgage loans with a market value in excess of the outstanding borrowing balances. The terms of the security agreement with the FHLB include a specific assignment of collateral that requires the maintenance of qualifying mortgage and other types of loans as pledged collateral with unpaid principal amounts in excess of the FHLB advances, when discounted at certain pre-established percentages of the loans’ unpaid balances. FHLB stock, which is recorded at cost of $28.0 million at December 31, 2010, is also pledged as collateral for these advances. WesBanco’s remaining maximum borrowing capacity, subject to the collateral requirements noted, with the FHLB at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was estimated to be approximately $1.0 billion and $914.6 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2010, WesBanco had $253.6 million in outstanding FHLB borrowings with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.64%, compared to $496.4 million of FHLB borrowings at December 31, 2009 with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.84%. FHLB borrowings have maturities ranging from the years 2011 to 2030.

Certain FHLB advances contain call features, which allows the FHLB to convert a fixed rate borrowing to a variable rate advance if the strike rate goes beyond a certain predetermined rate. The probability that these advances and repurchase agreements will be called depends primarily on the level of related interest rates during

the call period. Of the $253.6 million outstanding at December 31, 2010, $111.1 million in FHLB convertible fixed rate advances are subject to conversion to a variable rate advance by the respective FHLB issuer. Please refer to Note 10, “Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other short-term borrowings, which consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and treasury tax and loan notes were $187.4 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $188.5 million at December 31, 2009. The decreases in these borrowings have occurred primarily as a result of a $5.0 million decrease in federal funds purchased and a $0.3 million decrease in treasury tax and loan notes which were partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. WesBanco also has a revolving line of credit, which is a senior obligation of the parent company and was renewed with a correspondent bank effective on August 2, 2010. The revolving line of credit, which accrues interest at an adjusted LIBOR rate, provides for aggregated secured borrowings of up to $25.0 million. The revolving line of credit also requires WesBanco to maintain at all times a consolidated non-performing asset to primary capital ratio of not greater than 35%, net income of not less than $1.00 for each period of two consecutive fiscal quarters and for each year end, and to maintain at all times on a consolidated basis and for the Bank a “Well Capitalized” status as defined by the regulations of the respective primary regulator. WesBanco was in compliance with all terms and conditions. There were no outstanding balances as of December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

During 2010, junior subordinated debt owed to unconsolidated subsidiary trusts decreased $5.1 million or 4.6% from December 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily a result of WesBanco’s redemption on September 8, 2010 of the trust preferred securities issued by Oak Hill Capital Trust I in March 2000. The trust preferred securities were redeemed in full at a redemption price of 105.4% of principal plus accrued interest. The aggregate redemption price, excluding accrued interest, totaled approximately $5.3 million. Please refer to Note 11, “Other Short-Term Borrowings,” and Note 12, “Junior Subordinated Debt Owed to Unconsolidated Subsidiary Trusts,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations as of December 31, 2010 are presented in the table above by due date. The amounts shown do not include accrued interest or other similar carrying value adjustments. Additional information related to each obligation is included in the referenced footnote to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

WesBanco’s future benefit payments under pension plans are estimated based on actuarial assumptions and do not necessarily represent the actual contractual cash flows that may be required by WesBanco in the future. Please refer to Note 13, “Employee Benefit Plans,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on employee benefit plans.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

WesBanco enters into financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and affordable housing plan guarantees. Since many of these commitments expire unused or partially used, these commitments may not reflect future cash requirements. Please refer to Note 19, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the “Loans and Credit Risk” section of this MD&A for additional information.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders’ equity increased to $606.9 million at December 31, 2010 from $588.7 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was due primarily to net earnings available to common shareholders of $35.6 million, which was partially offset by the declaration of dividends to common shareholders of $14.9 million coupled with a $2.8 million other comprehensive loss.

For 2010, common dividends decreased to $0.56 per share, or 33.0% on an annualized basis, compared to $0.84 per share in 2009. The decrease is a result of a 50% reduction in the quarterly dividend beginning in the third quarter of 2009 to address the impact of the recession on earnings and to increase capital internally by reducing the payout ratio. The common dividend per share payout ratio decreased from 120.0% in 2009 to 41.8% in 2010, which is primarily attributable to the dividend rate reduction coupled with increased earnings year-over-year. A board-approved policy modified in 2009 generally targets dividends as a percent of net income in a range of 50% to 70%, subject to capital levels, earnings history and prospects, regulatory concerns, and other factors. On February 24, 2011, WesBanco declared a first quarter 2011 dividend of $0.15 per common share which represents a 7% increase in the quarterly dividend compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.

In March 2007 WesBanco’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan for up to 1,000,000 shares, after completion of a prior repurchase plan. WesBanco did not purchase any shares during 2010. At December 31, 2010, 584,325 shares of WesBanco common stock remained authorized to be purchased under the current one million share repurchase plan.

WesBanco is subject to risk-based capital guidelines that measure capital relative to risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet instruments. WesBanco and its banking subsidiary WesBanco Bank maintain Tier 1, Total Capital and Leverage ratios above minimum regulatory levels. WesBanco Bank paid $33.5 million in dividends to WesBanco, Inc. during 2010. There are various legal limitations under federal and state laws that limit the payment of dividends from the Bank to the parent company. Based on the consistency of WesBanco Bank’s earnings trend and its status as a “well capitalized” institution, there is no expectation that a request for future dividends in excess of limitations based on WesBanco Bank’s earnings, if requested, would not be approved by the FDIC, the bank’s primary regulator. In July 2009, WesBanco requested and received regulatory approval for a dividend of $60 million that was in excess of the net profits limitation of WesBanco Bank.

WesBanco currently has $106.0 million in junior subordinated debt in its Consolidated Balance Sheets presented as a separate category of long-term debt. For regulatory purposes, trust preferred securities totaling

$103.0 million, issued by unconsolidated trust subsidiaries of WesBanco, Inc. underlying such junior subordinated debt, is included in Tier 1 capital in accordance with current regulatory reporting requirements. A grandfather provision of the Dodd-Frank Act will permit bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $15 billion, such as WesBanco, to continue counting existing trust preferred securities as Tier 1 Capital until they mature, although it is possible that implementing regulations for the Basel III Capital Standards will require bank holding companies, including WesBanco, to exclude or phase-out these securities from regulatory capital calculations, no matter the size of the bank holding company.

Please refer to Note 22, “Regulatory Matters,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on capital amounts, ratios and minimum regulatory requirements. Also refer to Item 1 “Business” within this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III Capital Standards.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity is defined as a financial institution’s capacity to meet its cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost. Liquidity risk is the risk that an institution’s financial condition or overall safety and soundness is adversely affected by an inability, or perceived inability, to meet its obligations. An institution’s obligations, and the funding sources to meet them, depend significantly on its business mix, balance sheet structure, and the cash flows of its on- and off-balance sheet obligations. Institutions confront various internal and external situations that can give rise to increased liquidity risk including funding mismatches, market constraints on funding sources, contingent liquidity events, changes in economic conditions, and exposure to credit, market, operation, legal and reputation risk. WesBanco actively manages liquidity risk through its ability to provide adequate funds to meet changes in loan demand, unexpected outflows in deposits and other borrowings as well as to take advantage of market opportunities and meet operating cash needs. This is accomplished by maintaining liquid assets in the form of securities, sufficient borrowing capacity and a stable core deposit base. Liquidity is centrally monitored by WesBanco’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”).

WesBanco determines the degree of required liquidity by the relationship of total holdings of liquid assets to the possible need for funds to meet unexpected deposit losses and/or loan demands. The ability to quickly convert assets to cash at a minimal loss is a primary function of WesBanco’s investment portfolio management. Federal funds sold and U.S. Treasury and government agency securities maturing within three months are classified as secondary reserve assets. These secondary reserve assets, combined with the cash flow from the loan portfolio and the remaining sectors of the investment portfolio, and other sources, adequately meet the liquidity requirements of WesBanco.

Securities are the principal source of short-term liquidity for WesBanco. Securities totaled $1.4 billion at December 31, 2010, of which $957.5 million were classified as available-for-sale, including net unrealized pretax gains of $7.8 million. The remaining securities were classified as held-to-maturity. At December 31, 2010, WesBanco has approximately $26.2 million in securities scheduled to mature within one year; however, additional cash flows may be anticipated from approximately $401.8 million in callable bonds which have call dates within the next year, from projected prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations of approximately $165.8 million based on current prepayment speeds, from loans held for sale totaling $10.8 million, from accruing loans scheduled to mature within the next year of $491.6 million and from normal monthly loan repayments. At December 31, 2010, WesBanco had $79.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, which serves as operating cash for the branches and an additional source of liquidity. Sources of liquidity within the next year listed above approximate $1,175.3 million at December 31, 2010.

Deposit flows are another principal factor affecting overall WesBanco liquidity. Deposits totaled $4.2 billion at December 31, 2010. Deposit flows are impacted by current interest rates, products and rates offered by WesBanco versus various forms of competition, as well as customer behavior. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature within one year totaled $831.4 million at December 31, 2010 which includes jumbo regular certificates of deposit and jumbo CDARS^© deposits totaling $228.6 million with a weighted-average cost of 1.33% and

$106.6 million with a cost of 1.06%, respectively. In addition to the historically relatively stable core deposit base, WesBanco maintains a line of credit with the FHLB as an additional funding source. Available lines of credit with the FHLB at December 31, 2010 approximated $1.0 billion in excess of current outstandings, which has increased from December 31, 2009 due to scheduled maturities and payoffs of FHLB borrowings during 2010. At December 31, 2010, the Bank had unpledged available-for-sale securities with an amortized cost of $528.2 million, a portion of which is an available liquidity source, or could be pledged to secure additional FHLB borrowings. In addition, WesBanco participates in the Federal Reserve Bank’s Borrower-in-Custody Program (“BIC”) whereby WesBanco pledges certain consumer loans as collateral for borrowings. At December 31, 2010, WesBanco had a BIC line of credit totaling $145.6 million, none of which was outstanding. Alternative funding sources may include the utilization of existing overnight lines of credit with third party banks totaling $145.0 million at December 31, 2010 along with seeking other lines of credit, borrowings under repurchase agreement lines, increasing deposit rates to attract additional funds, accessing brokered deposits, or selling securities available-for-sale or certain types of loans.

Other short-term borrowings of $187.4 million at December 31, 2010 primarily include callable repurchase agreements of $185.1 million and several overnight sweep checking accounts for large commercial customers. There has not been a significant fluctuation in the average deposit balance of these overnight sweep checking accounts during 2010. The repurchase agreements require securities to be pledged equal to or greater than the instrument’s purchase price and may be called within the next year. The overnight sweep checking accounts require securities to be pledged equal to or greater than the deposit balance.

In July 2009, the FHLB began requiring securities to be specifically pledged to the FHLB and maintained in a FHLB approved custodial arrangement if the member wishes to include such securities in the maximum borrowings capacity calculation. WesBanco has elected not to specifically pledge to the FHLB otherwise unpledged securities. To increase its remaining capacity, WesBanco can at any time decide to pledge a portion of its unpledged securities to the FHLB.

The principal sources of parent company liquidity are dividends from the Bank, $15.2 million in cash and investments on hand, and a $25 million revolving line of credit with another bank, which did not have an outstanding balance at December 31, 2010. WesBanco is in compliance with all loan covenants. There are various legal limitations under federal and state laws that limit the payment of dividends from the Bank to the parent company. As of December 31, 2010, under FDIC and state of West Virginia regulations, WesBanco could receive, without prior regulatory approval, dividends totaling $4.8 million from the Bank.

At December 31, 2010, WesBanco had outstanding commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of business approximating $648.8 million, compared to $710.9 million at December 31, 2009. On a historical basis, only a small portion of these commitments will result in an outflow of funds. Please refer to Note 19, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the “Loans and Credit Risk” section of this MD&A for additional information.

Federal financial regulatory agencies recently issued guidance to provide sound practices for managing funding and liquidity risk and strengthening liquidity risk management practices. The guidance recommends that financial institutions maintain a comprehensive management process for identifying, measuring, monitoring, and controlling liquidity risk and that liquidity risk management be fully integrated into its risk management process. WesBanco recently completed the implementation of these policies, and management believes WesBanco has sufficient current liquidity to meet current obligations to borrowers, depositors and others as of December 31, 2010 and that WesBanco’s current liquidity risk management policies and procedures adequately address the recently issued guidance.

COMPARISON OF 2009 VERSUS 2008

Net income available to common shareholders for 2009 was $18.7 million while diluted earnings per common share were $0.70, as compared to $37.8 million or $1.42 per common share for 2008. Net income for 2009 before preferred stock dividends and the third quarter amortization expense related to the TARP preferred stock repurchase was $23.9 million as compared to $38.1 million for 2008. Return on average assets was 0.43% for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to 0.73% in 2008, and return on average equity was 3.73% for 2009, compared to 6.42% in 2008.

Net interest income decreased 1.3% in 2009 compared to 2008 due to a 32 basis point decrease in the net interest margin to 3.36% from 3.68% in 2008, primarily due to reinvesting proceeds from the branch deposit acquisition at the end of the first quarter of 2009, into lower yielding, short duration securities, reductions of interest income from increased non-performing loans and the continuation of the low interest environment. The lower margin was partially offset by an increase in average earning assets of 7.9%, also due to the branch acquisition. In addition to the increase in earning assets, the resulting increase in liquidity from the branch acquisition was utilized to fund reductions in higher cost borrowings and CDs as they matured in the last three quarters of 2009, improving the net interest margin. The margin also benefited from a 5.3% increase in average non-interest bearing deposit balances in 2009, the result of marketing campaigns focused on checking account products.

Interest income decreased 8.7% in 2009 due to a 96 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on total interest-earning assets to 5.36% as compared to 6.32% in the prior year. Rates decreased on all earning asset categories from reduced rates on new and repriced assets due to the lower interest rate environment throughout 2009. The largest declines in rates were on taxable securities due to the branch acquisition and on loans due to the increase in non-performing loans in the first half of 2009 as compared to December 31, 2008. The lower rates were partially offset by a 7.9% increase in average earning assets due to increases in investments in securities using funds from the branch acquisition.

Interest expense decreased $22.2 million or 18.3% in 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to an 80 basis point decline in the average rates paid on deposits. The rate declines were partially offset by a 6.3% increase in average interest bearing balances primarily due to the branch acquisition. In addition, deposit levels unrelated to the acquisition were generally stable in 2009 through growth in competitively priced deposits in certain regions as a result of somewhat reduced competition as compared to prior periods, overall stock market volatility and an increase in the national personal savings rate. The increase in deposits from the branch acquisition and other sources caused a reduction in the loan to deposit ratio from approximately 103% at December 31, 2008 to 87% at December 31, 2009. All categories of interest bearing liabilities experienced declines in rates due to the lower interest rate environment, however the overall decline was principally due to a 111 basis point decline in CDs and a 70 basis point decline in MMDA. The decline in CD rates resulted from the Bank’s strategy of allowing certain high rate, single service CDs acquired in the branch acquisition to mature without renewal due to the current rate environment. In addition, management reduced certain interest rates on maturing CDs, MMDA and interest bearing demand deposit accounts in order to realize a lower cost of funds during a period of declining loan yields, while focusing marketing efforts on non-interest bearing demand deposits.

The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased $18 million or 55% to $50.5 million compared to $32.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The provision for 2009 exceeded net charge-offs by approximately $11.4 million and increased the allowance for loan losses to 1.76% of total loans at December 31, 2009 compared to 1.38% at December 31, 2008. This increase in the provision and allowance for loan losses reflected current economic conditions and their overall adverse impact on credit risk in all categories of the loan portfolio, higher net charge-offs, elevated levels of non-performing loans, high unemployment in all WesBanco markets, and declining real estate values particularly in the Ohio metropolitan markets of Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati.

Non-interest income improved by $7.2 million or 12.6%, for the year compared to 2008 due to higher security gains of $4.5 million, growth in securities brokerage income of $1.6 million, a bank owned life

insurance claim of $1.0 million, and a combined $1.6 million increase in gains on the sale of mortgage loans, service charges on deposits, and electronic banking fees. Additionally, losses recognized on other real estate-owned declined $0.9 million. These improvements in non-interest income were partially offset by lower trust fees of $1.1 million, due to lower average market values of trust assets, and decreased mortgage servicing income of $0.8 million as a result of increased customer refinancing and an impairment charge to mortgage servicing rights during 2009.

Non-interest expense increased $7.0 million or 4.9% in 2009; however, expenses only increased $1.1 million or 0.8% excluding FDIC insurance and merger-related expenses. An increase in FDIC insurance of $8.1 million from 2008 results can be attributed to a $2.6 million special assessment in the second quarter of 2009, an increase in the FDIC base rate, usage of certain assessment credits recognized in prior periods and, to a lesser extent, the increase in deposits resulting from the branch acquisition. Efficiency improvements in 2009 resulting in lower expenses were achieved in salaries and wages as full-time equivalent employees decreased by 7.2%, in net occupancy and equipment, administrative fees, miscellaneous taxes, supplies and postage, for a total decrease of $4.7 million. However, employee benefits increased $4.0 million due to higher health care costs and higher pension expenses, which, combined with other smaller expense increases resulted in the increase in non-interest expense.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The disclosures set forth in this item are qualified by the section captioned “Forward-Looking Statements” included in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this report.

MARKET RISK

The primary objective of WesBanco’s ALCO is to maximize net interest income within established policy parameters. This objective is accomplished through the management of balance sheet composition, market risk exposures arising from changing economic conditions and liquidity risk.

Market risk is defined as the risk of loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments resulting from fluctuations in interest rates and equity prices. Management considers interest rate risk to be WesBanco’s most significant market risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates. The relative consistency of WesBanco’s net interest income is largely dependent on effective management of interest rate risk. As interest rates change in the market, rates earned on interest rate sensitive assets and rates paid on interest rate sensitive liabilities do not necessarily move concurrently. Differing rate sensitivities may arise because fixed rate assets and liabilities may not have the same maturities, or because variable rate assets and liabilities differ in the timing and/or the percentage of rate changes.

WesBanco’s ALCO, comprised of senior management from various functional areas, monitors and manages interest rate risk within Board approved policy limits. Interest rate risk is monitored primarily through the use of an earnings simulation model. The model is highly dependent on various assumptions, which change regularly as the balance sheet and market interest rates change. The key assumptions and strategies employed are analyzed bi-monthly and reviewed and documented by the ALCO.

The earnings simulation model projects changes in net interest income resulting from the effect of changes in interest rates. Forecasting changes in net interest income requires management to make certain assumptions regarding loan and security prepayment rates, bond call dates, and adjustments to non-maturing deposit rates, which may not necessarily reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. Assumptions used are based primarily on historical experience and current market rates. Security portfolio maturities and prepayments are assumed to be reinvested in similar instruments and callable bond forecasts are adjusted at varying levels of interest rates. While management believes such assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates, callable bond forecasts and non-maturing

deposit rates will approximate actual future results. Moreover, the net interest income sensitivity chart presented in Table 1, “Net Interest Income Sensitivity,” assumes the composition of interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of the period remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve, regardless of the duration of the maturity or re-pricing of specific assets and liabilities. Since the assumptions used in the model relative to changes in interest rates are uncertain, the simulation analysis may not be indicative of actual results. In addition, the analysis may not consider all actions that management could employ in response to changes in interest rates and various earning asset and costing liability balances.

Management is aware of the significant effect inflation or deflation has upon interest rates and ultimately upon financial performance. WesBanco’s ability to cope with inflation or deflation is best determined by analyzing its capability to respond to changing market interest rates, as well as its ability to manage the various elements of noninterest income and expense during periods of increasing or decreasing inflation or deflation. WesBanco monitors the level and mix of interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities through ALCO in order to reduce the impact of inflation or deflation on net interest income. Management also controls the effects of inflation or deflation by conducting periodic reviews of the prices and terms of its various products and services, both in terms of the costs to offer the services as well as outside market influences upon such pricing, by introducing new products and services or reducing the availability of existing products and services, and by controlling overhead expenses.

Interest rate risk policy limits are determined by measuring the anticipated change in net interest income over a twelve month period assuming an immediate and sustained 100 and 200 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates as compared to a stable rate environment or base model. WesBanco’s current policy limits this exposure to a reduction of 5.0% and 12.5% or less, respectively, of net interest income from the base model over a twelve month period. The table below shows WesBanco’s interest rate sensitivity at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 assuming both a 100 and 200 basis point interest rate change, compared to a base model. Due to the current low interest rate environment, particularly for short-term rates, the 200 basis point decreasing change is not calculated, and instead a 300 basis point rising rate environment is shown. The policy limit for an increasing 300 basis point rising rate environment is a negative 25%.

TABLE 1. NET INTEREST INCOME SENSITIVITY


Immediate Change in Interest Rates (basis points)	Percentage Change in Net Interest Income from Base over One Year		ALCO Guidelines
	December 31, 2010	December 31, 2009	ALCO Guidelines
+300	0.8%	(9.6)%	- 25%
+200	1.7%	(4.7)%	- 12.5%
+100	2.4%	(0.4)%	- 5%
-100	(2.9)%	(0.8)%	- 5%
-200	N/A	N/A	- 12.5%

As per the table above, the earnings simulation model at December 31, 2010 currently projects that net interest income for the next twelve month period would decrease by 2.9% if interest rates were to fall immediately by 100 basis points, compared to a decrease of 0.8% for the same scenario as of December 31, 2009.

For rising rate scenarios, net interest income would increase by 2.4%, 1.7% and 0.8% if rates increased by 100, 200 and 300 basis points, respectively, as of December 31, 2010 as compared to a decrease of 0.4%, 4.7% and 9.6% in a 100, 200 and 300 basis point increasing rate environment as of December 31, 2009. In 2010, the balance sheet has become more asset sensitive as compared to prior periods, although it is still anticipated that in a rapidly rising rate environment, the increase in net interest income would be lower than in a slower, more gradual increasing rate environment. This is primarily due to an anticipation of slowing prepayment speeds and the extension risk associated with certain asset types, primarily residential mortgages and mortgage backed

securities, having a greater impact in a 200 basis point and above rising rate environment, net of the impact of lagging deposit rates in rising interest rate environments. Of note, mortgage instruments, both loans and securities, generally exhibit a propensity to prepay at faster speeds during periods of decreasing rates, and at slower speeds when rates increase. A large percentage of our commercial loans written in the last two years in the low interest rate environment have had floor features. Variable rate commercial loans with rate floors approximated $830 million at December 31, 2010, with an average floor of 5.3%, which represented approximately 48% of variable rate commercial loans.

The decrease in liability sensitivity between December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 was a result of changes in balance sheet composition primarily as certain borrowings and short-term CD’s matured and were paid off during late 2009 and throughout 2010, as well as additional short-term cash generated from increasing deposits, primarily MMDA-type accounts. Such cash generated in 2010 has been used to pay down $243 million in FHLB maturing borrowings. Also, at the parent, a $5 million trust preferred security was paid off with available cash in September. While the Bank has been focused on reducing its funding costs, both in deposits and short-term borrowings in order to improve the net interest margin, a lengthening of maturity in certain CDARS^®-type CDs also improved the former liability sensitivity position. Also, the continued reduction in fixed rate, longer-term residential mortgages, as the Bank sells most of its current fixed rate production into the secondary market, mitigates overall liability sensitivity. WesBanco’s ALCO expects, absent any other management actions, that its net interest margin may be slightly negatively impacted in coming quarters by maintaining greater Bank liquidity and reinvesting cash flows from loans and investments at lower rates, along with funding floors. Rate increases are not currently anticipated in the near term, and as noted above an extended period of lower rates would likely result in a lower net interest margin.

The Bank has significant additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Pittsburgh, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, and various correspondent banks, and will continue to utilize these funding sources as necessary to mitigate the impact on our balance sheet of embedded options in commercial and residential loans and to lengthen liabilities to help offset mismatches in various asset maturities. Various derivative strategies may also be employed to enhance asset sensitivity in a rising rate environment, including loan level interest rate swaps for certain of our commercial loan customers, although such strategies would most likely result in a decrease to net interest income in the short term in order to improve net interest income in a longer term rising rate environment.

As an alternative to the immediate rate shock analysis, the ALCO monitors interest rate risk by ramping or increasing interest rates 200 basis points gradually over a twelve month period. WesBanco’s current policy limits this exposure to 5.0% of net interest income from the base model for a twelve month period. Management believes that the ramping analysis reflects a more realistic movement of interest rates, whereas the immediate rate shock reflects a less likely scenario. The simulation model at December 31, 2010, using the 200 basis point increasing rate ramp analysis, projects that net interest income would increase 2.3% over the next twelve months, compared to a 0.9% increase at December 31, 2009.

WesBanco also periodically measures the economic value of equity, which is defined as the market value of equity in various increasing and decreasing rate scenarios. At December 31, 2010, the market value of equity as a percent of base in a 200 basis point rising rate environment indicates an increase of 4.4% as compared to a decrease of 2.5% at December 31, 2009. In a 100 basis point falling rate environment, the model indicates a decrease of 4.1%, as compared to a decrease of 2.9% as of December 31, 2009. WesBanco’s policy is to limit such change to minus 25% for a 200 basis point change in interest rates, as long as the Tier I capital leverage ratio is not forecasted to decrease below 5.0% as a result of the change.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of WesBanco is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. WesBanco’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of WesBanco’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of WesBanco’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

WesBanco’s management assessed the effectiveness of WesBanco’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in “Internal Control–Integrated Framework.” Based on the assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2010, WesBanco’s internal control over financial reporting is effective, based on the COSO criteria. The effectiveness of WesBanco’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, WesBanco’s independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report appearing below.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

WesBanco, Inc.

We have audited WesBanco, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). WesBanco, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, WesBanco, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of WesBanco, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 of WesBanco, Inc. and our report dated March 1, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations—WesBanco, Inc. (“WesBanco”) is a bank holding company offering a full range of financial services, including trust and investment services, mortgage banking, insurance and brokerage services. WesBanco’s defined business segments are community banking and trust and investment services. WesBanco’s banking subsidiary, WesBanco Bank, Inc. (“WesBanco Bank” or the “Bank”), headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia, operates through 112 banking offices, one loan production office and 132 ATM machines in West Virginia, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. In addition, WesBanco operates an insurance brokerage company, WesBanco Insurance Services, Inc., and a full service broker/dealer, WesBanco Securities, Inc.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation—The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of WesBanco and those entities in which WesBanco has a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

WesBanco determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity or a variable interest entity. A voting interest entity is an entity in which the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable the entity to finance itself independently and provides the equity holders with the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to make financial and operating decisions. WesBanco consolidates voting interest entities in which it owns all, or at least a majority (generally, greater than 50%) of the voting interest.

Variable Interest Entities—Variable interest entities (“VIE”) are entities that in general either do not have equity investors with voting rights or that have equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. WesBanco uses VIEs in various legal forms to conduct normal business activities. WesBanco reviews the structure and activities of VIEs for possible consolidation.

A controlling financial interest in a VIE is present when an enterprise has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. A VIE often holds financial assets, including loans or receivables, real estate or other property. The company with a controlling financial interest, known as the primary beneficiary, is required to consolidate the VIE. WesBanco has eight wholly-owned trust subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Trusts”), for which it does not absorb a majority of expected losses or receive a majority of the expected residual returns. Accordingly, the Trusts and their net assets are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures issued by WesBanco to the Trusts (refer to Note 12, “Junior Subordinated Debt Owed to Unconsolidated Subsidiary Trusts”) and the minority interest in the common stock issued by the Trusts is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. WesBanco also owns variable interests of less than twenty-five percent in certain limited partnerships for which it does not absorb a majority of expected losses or receive a majority of expected residual returns. Accordingly, these partnerships and their net assets, which are discussed below under the caption “Investments in Limited Partnerships” are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Combinations—Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest of an acquired business are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition with any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value recorded as goodwill. Results of operations of an acquired business are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income from the date of acquisition.

Revenue Recognition—Interest and dividend income, loan fees, trust fees, fees and charges on deposit accounts, insurance commissions and other ancillary income related to the Bank’s deposits and lending activities, as well as income at WesBanco’s other subsidiary companies, are accrued as earned.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, due from banks—interest bearing and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

Securities—Available-for-sale securities: Debt securities not classified as trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. These securities may be sold at any time based upon management’s assessment of changes in economic or financial market conditions, interest rate or prepayment risks, liquidity considerations and other factors. These securities are stated at fair value, with the fair value adjustment, net of tax, reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Held-to-maturity securities: Securities that are purchased with the positive intent and ability to be held until their maturity are stated at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Transfers of debt securities into the held-to-maturity category from the available-for-sale category are made at fair value at the date of transfer. The unrealized gain or loss at the date of transfer is retained in other comprehensive income and in the carrying value of the held-to-maturity securities. Such amounts are amortized over the remaining life of the security.

Cost-Method Investments: Securities that do not have readily determinable fair values and for which WesBanco does not exercise significant influence are carried at cost. Cost method investments consist primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cost-method investments are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances suggest that their carrying value may not be recoverable.

Gains and Losses: Net realized gains and losses on sales of securities are included in non-interest income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The gain or loss is determined as of the trade date. Prior unrealized gains and losses are recorded through other comprehensive income and reversed when gains or losses are realized or if an impairment charge is recorded.

Amortization and Accretion: Generally, premiums are amortized to call date and discounts are accreted to maturity, on a constant yield basis.

Other-than-Temporary Impairment Losses: An investment security is considered impaired if its fair value is less than its cost or amortized cost basis. WesBanco conducts a review each quarter of all securities which are impaired to determine if the impairment is other-than-temporary. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, WesBanco considers the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, evaluating any credit downgrades or other indicators of a potential credit problem, the receipt of principal and interest according to the contractual terms and WesBanco’s intent and ability not to sell or be required to sell its investment prior to recovery of cost. If WesBanco intends to sell or is required to sell the investment prior to recovery of cost, the entire impairment will be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income. If there is no intention or requirement to sell the security, and the impairment is to be considered other-than-temporary based on management’s review of the various factors that indicate credit impairment, the impairment must be separated into credit and noncredit portions. The credit portion is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The noncredit portion is calculated as the difference between the present value of the future cash flows and the fair value of the security and is recognized in other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Loans and Loans Held for Sale—Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income, credit valuation adjustments, and unamortized deferred loan fee income and loan origination costs. Interest is accrued as earned on loans except where doubt exists as to collectability, in which case recognition of income is discontinued. Loans originated and intended for sale are carried, in aggregate, at the lower of cost or estimated market value. Portfolio loans held for sale are recorded at the contractual sales price or third party valuation less selling costs.

Loan origination fees and certain direct costs are deferred and accreted or amortized into interest income or expense, as an adjustment to the yield, over the life of the loan using the level yield method. When a loan is paid off, the remaining unaccreted or unamortized net origination fees or costs are immediately recognized into income or expense.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual when they are 90 days past due unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Loans are reported as renegotiated when WesBanco for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Loans may be returned to accrual status when a borrower has resumed paying principal and interest for a sustained period of at least six months and the Bank is reasonably assured of collecting the remaining contractual principal and interest. Loans are returned to accrual status at an amount equal to the principal balance of the loan at the time of non-accrual status less any payments applied to principal during the non-accrual period. Loans may be removed from the renegotiated category when the borrower returns to the original contractual terms.

A loan is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that WesBanco will be unable to collect the payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include all non-accrual and renegotiated loans, as well as loans internally classified as substandard or doubtful (as those terms are defined by banking regulations and WesBanco’s internal risk grades) for which a specific reserve has been established. WesBanco recognizes interest income on non-accrual loans on the cash basis only if recovery of principal is reasonably assured.

Consumer loans are charged down to the net realizable value at 120 days past due for closed-end loans and 180 days past due for open-end revolving lines of credit. Residential real estate loans are charged down to the net realizable value of the collateral at 180 days past due. Commercial loans are charged down to the net realizable value when it is determined that WesBanco will be unable to collect the principal amount in full and the amount of the loss is estimable. Loans are reclassified to other assets at the net realizable value when foreclosure or repossession of the collateral occurs.

Allowance for Credit Losses—The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and future advances against loan commitments. Determining the amount of the allowance requires significant judgment about the collectability of loans and the factors that deserve consideration in estimating probable credit losses. The allowance is increased by a provision charged to operating expense and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance at least quarterly. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change from period to period.

Mortgage Servicing Rights—Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) represent the right to service loans for third party investors. MSRs are recognized as a separate asset for the rights to service mortgage loans for others, regardless of how those servicing rights are acquired. MSRs are recognized upon the sale of mortgage loans to a third party investor with the servicing rights retained by WesBanco. Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments from borrowers, maintaining escrow accounts, remitting payments to third party investors and when necessary, foreclosure processing. Serviced loans are not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Loan servicing income includes servicing fees received from the third party investors and certain charges collected from the borrowers. Originated MSRs are recorded at allocated fair value at the time of the sale of the loans to the third party investor. MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of net servicing income. MSRs are carried at amortized cost, less a valuation allowance for impairment, if any. Impairment exists if the carrying value of MSRs exceeds the estimated fair value of the MSRs. In calculating the fair value of the MSRs, the serviced loans are segregated into pools using, as pooling criteria, the loan term and the coupon rate. Individual impairment allowances for each pool are established when necessary and then adjusted in subsequent periods to reflect changes in the valuation of the pool. Once pooled, each grouping of loans is evaluated on a discounted earnings basis to determine the present value of future earnings that a purchaser could expect to realize from each portfolio as well as numerous assumptions including servicing income and costs, market discount rates, prepayment speeds and other market driven data. The fair value of MSRs is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. Changes in prepayment speed assumptions have the most significant impact on the fair value of MSRs. Generally, as interest rates decline, prepayments accelerate due to increased refinance activity, which results in a decrease in the fair value of MSRs. Conversely, as interest rates rise, prepayments slow down generally resulting in an increase in the fair value of MSRs. All assumptions are reviewed on a quarterly basis and adjusted as necessary to reflect current and anticipated market conditions.

Premises and Equipment—Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated economic useful lives of the leased assets or the remaining terms of the underlying leases. Useful lives range from 3 to 10 years for furniture and equipment, 15 to 39 years for buildings and building improvements, and 15 years for land improvements. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major improvements that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset. Gains and losses on premises and equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are charged to operations when incurred.

Long-lived depreciable assets are evaluated periodically for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment exists when the expected undiscounted future cash flows of a long-lived asset are less than its carrying value. In that event, WesBanco recognizes a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset based on a market price from a recent appraisal, if applicable, or a discounted cash flow analysis. Any resulting impairment losses are recorded in other non-interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets—Other real estate owned and repossessed assets, which are considered available-for-sale and are reported in other assets, are carried at the lower of cost or their estimated current fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Other real estate owned consists primarily of properties acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosures. Repossessed assets consist primarily of automobiles, recreational vehicles and other motor vehicles acquired to satisfy defaulted consumer loans. Subsequent declines in fair value, if any; income and expense associated with the management of the collateral, and gains or losses on the disposition of these assets are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or more often if events or circumstances indicate they may be impaired. Finite-lived intangible assets, which consist primarily of core deposit and customer list intangibles (long-term customer-relationship intangible assets) are amortized using straight-line and accelerated methods over their weighted-average estimated useful lives, ranging from ten to sixteen years in total, and are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Goodwill is tested for potential impairment using a two-step approach. In the first step, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the goodwill of that reporting unit is not considered impaired, and no impairment loss is recognized. However, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, step two, which involves comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying value, is completed and to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. An indefinite-lived intangible asset is tested for impairment by comparing its fair value to its carrying value. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. A finite-lived intangible asset is tested for impairment by comparing its fair value based on undiscounted cash flow projections to its carrying value. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

WesBanco uses market capitalization, multiples of tangible book value, a discounted cash flow model, and various other market based methods to estimate the current fair value of its reporting units. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of these methods, which may produce results that would be different than the results that could be realized in an actual transaction.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance—WesBanco has purchased life insurance policies on certain executive officers and employees. WesBanco receives the cash surrender value of each policy upon its termination or benefits are payable upon the death of the insured. These policies are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their net cash surrender value. Changes in net cash surrender value are recognized in non-interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments—In order to attract potential home borrowers, WesBanco offers interest rate lock commitments (“IRLC”) to such potential borrowers. IRLC are generally for sixty days and guarantee a specified interest rate for a loan if underwriting standards are met, but the commitment does not obligate the potential borrower to close on the loan. Accordingly, some IRLC expire prior to the funding of the related loan. For all IRLC issued in connection with potential loans intended for sale, which consist primarily of originated fifteen, twenty and thirty year fixed rate residential home mortgage loans, and all interest-only mortgages, the bank enters into one-to-one forward sales contracts on a best efforts basis (if the loan does not close for whatever reason, there is no obligation on WesBanco’s part to sell the loan to the investor). WesBanco enters into such contracts in order to control interest rate risk during the period between the IRLC and loan funding. Whenever a customer desires these products, a mortgage originator quotes a secondary market rate, guaranteed for that day by the investor. The IRLC is executed between the mortgagee and WesBanco, and in turn a forward sales contract is executed between WesBanco and an investor. Both the IRLC and the corresponding forward sales contract for each customer are considered a derivative. As such, changes in the fair value of the derivatives during the commitment period are recorded in current earnings and included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of IRLC is the gain or loss that would be realized on the underlying loans assuming exercise of the commitments under current market rates versus the rate incorporated in the commitments, taking into consideration fallout. The fair value of forward sales contracts is based on quoted market prices. Since loans typically close before receipt of funding from an investor, they are accounted for at the lower of cost or market as “Loans Held for Sale” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Investments in Limited Partnerships—WesBanco accounts for its investments in limited partnerships using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, WesBanco records its initial investment at cost. Subsequently, the carrying amount of the investment is increased or decreased to reflect WesBanco’s share of income or loss of the investee. WesBanco’s recognition of earnings or losses from an equity method investment is based on WesBanco’s ownership percentage in the limited partnership and the investee’s earnings on a quarterly basis. Investments in low-income housing partnerships are evaluated for impairment at the end of each reporting period.

All of WesBanco’s investments in limited partnerships are privately held, and their market values are not readily available. There are inherent risks associated with WesBanco’s investments in limited partnerships which may result in income statement volatility in future periods. WesBanco includes its investments in limited partnerships in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Income Taxes—The provision for income taxes included in the Consolidated Statements of Income includes both federal and state income taxes and is based on income in the financial statements, rather than amounts reported on WesBanco’s income tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. A test of the anticipated realizability of deferred tax assets is performed at least annually.

Fair Value—The Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. The Codification also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-based valuation techniques where all significant assumptions are observable, either directly or indirectly, in the market;

Level 3—Valuation is generated from model-based techniques where all significant assumptions are not observable, either directly or indirectly, in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques may include use of matrix pricing, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Advertising Costs—Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $2.5 million, $2.3 million and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Earnings Per Common Share—Earnings per common share is computed after recognition of preferred stock dividend requirements. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) are calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders, which is net of preferred dividends, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For diluted EPS, the weighted-average number of shares for the period is increased by the number of shares which would be issued assuming the exercise of common stock options, and outstanding warrants. Restricted stock shares are recorded as issued and outstanding and therefore are included in the weighted-average shares outstanding.

Trust Assets—Assets held by the Bank in fiduciary or agency capacities for its customers are not included as assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain trust assets are held on deposit at the Bank.

Comprehensive Income—Sources of comprehensive income not included in net income are net of tax and consist of unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, certain derivatives, if any, and fluctuations in the funded status of the defined benefit pension plan as described under the “Defined Benefit Pension Plan” policy below. Comprehensive income also includes amortization of unrealized gains and losses recorded as premium or discount on securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity, net of tax.

Stock-Based Compensation—Stock-based compensation awards granted, comprised of stock options and restricted stock, are valued at fair value and compensation cost is recognized on a straight line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period of each award. For service-based awards with graded vesting schedules, compensation expense is divided equally among the vesting periods with each separately vested portion of the award recognized in compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan—WesBanco recognizes in the statement of financial position an asset for the plan’s overfunded status or a liability for the plan’s underfunded status. WesBanco recognizes fluctuations in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through other comprehensive income. Plan assets are determined based on fair value generally representing observable market prices. The projected benefit obligation is determined based on the present value of projected benefit distributions at an assumed discount rate. The discount rate utilized is based on a fitted yield curve approach whereby the yield curve compares the expected benefit payments for the plan to high quality corporate bonds available in the marketplace to determine an equivalent discount rate. Periodic pension expense includes service costs, interest costs based on an assumed discount rate, an expected return on plan assets based on an actuarially derived market-related value and amortization of actuarial gains and losses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting pronouncement to improve disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. Companies are required to provide more information about the credit quality of

their financing receivables in the disclosures to financial statements, such as aging information and credit quality indicators disaggregated by portfolio segment and class. The disaggregation of information is based on how a company develops its allowance for credit losses and how it manages its credit exposure. Required disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 2010, while required disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The effect of this pronouncement is included in these notes to the financial statements, and the adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on WesBanco’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2011, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement to amend the July 2010 pronouncement on credit quality of financing receivables to defer the effective date of the disclosures specifically related to troubled debt restructurings. The delay is intended to allow the FASB time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. WesBanco does not believe that this pronouncement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement to improve disclosures about fair value measurements which requires new disclosures on transfers into and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements of the fair value hierarchy and requires separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures relating to the level of disaggregation and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. It was effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this pronouncement does not have a material impact on WesBanco’s consolidated financial statements.

On December 5, 2008, WesBanco issued 75,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 439,282 shares of the Company’s common stock to the U.S. Treasury. The preferred dividends, and expense associated with the unamortized discount, were deducted from net income to arrive at net income available to common shareholders. The warrant was considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, but due to its anti-dilutive impact, it had no effect on earnings per share. The preferred stock and related warrant were repurchased in late 2009.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no holdings of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of WesBanco’s shareholders’ equity.

As of April 30, 2010, available-for-sale securities with a fair value of $426.7 million were transferred to the held-to-maturity portfolio. The available-for-sale securities were transferred at fair market value at a net unrealized gain of $8.9 million recorded as a premium and included in the amortized cost of the held-to-maturity securities. The premium is being amortized over the remaining life of the securities through other comprehensive income, with no effect on net income. The securities consisted of government agency residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, and both taxable and tax-exempt state and municipal obligations that had longer average lives or lower coupons.

(1)	Mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage securities, which have prepayment provisions, are assigned to maturity categories based on estimated average lives or repricing information.

(2)	The held-to-maturity portfolio is carried at an amortized cost of $468.7 million.

Securities with aggregate par values of $621.4 million and $548.1 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were pledged as security for public and trust funds, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $136.1 million, $272.1 million and $45.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Gross security gains on available-for-sale securities of $3.4 million, $6.3 million and $1.7 million and gross security losses on available-for-sale securities of $41 thousand, $293 thousand, and $199 thousand were realized for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The 2010, 2009 and 2008 gross security losses include other-than-temporary impairment losses of $41 thousand, $235 thousand and $186 thousand, respectively.

Unrealized losses in the table represent temporary fluctuations resulting from changes in market rates in relation to fixed yields. Unrealized losses in the available-for-sale portfolio are accounted for as an adjustment to other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. WesBanco may impact the magnitude of the fair value adjustment by managing both the volume and average maturities of securities that are classified as available-for-sale.

WesBanco does not believe the securities presented above are impaired due to reasons of credit quality, as substantially all debt securities are of investment grade quality and all are paying principal and interest according to their contractual terms. WesBanco does not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell, loss position securities prior to recovery of their cost, and therefore, management believes the unrealized losses detailed above are temporary and no impairment loss relating to these securities has been recognized.

Securities that do not have readily determinable fair values and for which WesBanco does not exercise significant influence are carried at cost. Cost method investments consist primarily of FHLB stock totaling $28.0 million and $30.9 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cost-method investments are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances suggest that their carrying value may not be recoverable.

On December 23, 2008 the FHLB of Pittsburgh announced that it would suspend dividends and the repurchase of excess capital stock from its member banks until further notice. However, the FHLB of Pittsburgh announced on October 28, 2010 that the suspension on the repurchase of excess capital stock would be partially lifted, and future excess capital stock repurchases would be reviewed on a quarter-to-quarter basis. The suspension of dividends was not affected by the announcement. The FHLB of Pittsburgh stock owned by WesBanco totaling $25.0 million and $26.3 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, does not have a readily determinable fair value and is recorded as a cost method investment in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and is held primarily to serve as collateral on FHLB borrowings. Although the FHLB of Pittsburgh has suspended dividends and only partially lifted the suspension on the repurchase of excess capital stock, they are meeting their current debt obligations, have continued to exceed all required capital ratios, and have remained in compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2010, WesBanco believes that sufficient evidence exists to conclude that its investment in FHLB stock was not impaired. At December 31, 2010, WesBanco held excess capital stock of $6.6 million that remains to be repurchased by the FHLB of Pittsburgh.

WesBanco maintains an internal loan grading system to reflect the credit quality of commercial loans. Commercial loan risk grades are determined based on an evaluation of the relevant characteristics of each loan, assigned at the inception of each loan and adjusted thereafter at any time to reflect changes in the risk profile throughout the life of each loan. The primary factors used to determine the risk grade are the reliability and sustainability of the primary source of repayment and overall financial strength of the borrower. This includes an analysis of cash flow available to repay debt, profitability, liquidity, leverage, and overall financial trends. Other factors include management, industry or property type risks, an assessment of secondary sources of repayment such as collateral or guarantees, other terms and conditions of the loan that may increase or reduce its risk, and economic conditions and other external factors that may influence repayment capacity and financial condition.

Commercial real estate consists of loans to purchase, construct or refinance owner-occupied and investment properties. Factors that are considered in assigning the risk grade vary depending on the type of property financed. The risk grade assigned to construction and development loans is based on the overall viability of the project, the experience and financial capacity of the developer or builder to successfully complete the project, project specific and market absorption rates and comparable property values, and the amount of pre-sales for residential housing construction or pre-leases for commercial investment property. The risk grade assigned to commercial investment property loans is based primarily on the adequacy of net rental income generated by the property to service the debt, the type, quality, industry and mix of tenants, and the terms of leases, but also considers the overall financial capacity of the investors and their experience in owning and managing investment property. The risk grade assigned to owner-occupied commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans is based primarily on historical and projected earnings, and the adequacy of operating cash flow to service all of the business’s debt, and the capital resources, liquidity and leverage of the business, but also considers the industry in which the business operates, the business’s specific competitive advantages or disadvantages, the quality and experience of management, and external influences on the business such as economic conditions. Other factors that are considered for commercial and industrial loans include the type, quality and marketability of non-real estate collateral and whether the structure of the loan increases or reduces its risk. The type, age,

100

condition, location and any environmental risks associated with a property are also considered for all types of commercial real estate. The overall financial condition and repayment capacity of any guarantors is also evaluated to determine the extent to which they mitigate other risks of the loan. The following descriptions of risk grades apply to commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans.

Excellent or minimal risk loans are fully secured by liquid or readily marketable collateral and therefore have virtually no risk of loss. Good or desirable risk loans are extended in the normal course of business to creditworthy borrowers that exhibit a history of positive financial results that are at least comparable to the average for their industry or type of real estate. These loans are expected to perform satisfactorily during most economic cycles and there are no significant external factors that are expected to adversely affect these borrowers more than others in the same industry. Any minor unfavorable characteristics of these loans are outweighed or mitigated by strong positive factors including but not limited to adequate secondary sources of repayment or guarantees.

Fair or acceptable risk loans have a somewhat higher credit risk profile due to specific weaknesses or uncertainties that could adversely impact repayment capacity. Loans in this category generally warrant additional attention or monitoring, or a more rigid loan structure. These loans represent the maximum level of risk accepted in the normal course of lending. Specific issues that may warrant this grade include financial results that are less favorable than the average for the borrower’s industry or type of real estate, cyclical financial results, loans based on projections that have a reasonable probability of being achieved, start-up businesses, construction projects, and other external factors that indicate a higher level of credit risk. Loans that are underwritten primarily on the basis of the repayment capacity or financial condition of guarantors may also be assigned this grade.

Criticized and classified loans are equivalent to the classifications used by banking regulators. Criticized or marginal loans are currently protected but have weaknesses, which if not corrected, may inadequately protect the Bank at some future date. These loans represent an unwarranted credit risk and would generally not be extended in the normal course of lending. Specific issues which may warrant this grade include declining financial results, increased reliance on secondary sources of repayment or guarantor support and adverse external influences that may negatively impact the business or property.

Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current repayment capacity and equity of the borrower or collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize their repayment or collection in full. Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent to a substandard loan with the added characteristic that full repayment is highly questionable or improbable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and collateral values. However, recognition of loss may be deferred if there are reasonably specific pending factors that will reduce the risk if they occur.

Impaired Loans—Impaired loans consist of nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans and other impaired loans.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they become past due 90 days or more unless they are both well-secured and in the process of collection.

Loans are categorized as renegotiated or troubled debt restructured when WesBanco, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions that may be granted include a reduction of the interest rate below the current market interest rate, the amount of accrued interest, or the principal amount of the loan. These loans remain on accrual status as long as they continue to perform in accordance with their modified terms. Loans may be removed from renegotiated status after they have performed according to the renegotiated terms for a period of

102

time if the interest rate under the modified terms is at or above market, or they may move to non-accrual if they do not perform in accordance with the loans’ modified terms.

Other impaired loans consist of loans that are internally classified as substandard or doubtful that have not been placed on non-accrual or renegotiated but are not fully secured by the value of the collateral or the observable market price for the loan is less than its outstanding balance. Other impaired loans may include loans for which a specific reserve is established and acquired loans for which a credit valuation adjustment was recorded at the time of acquisition. Other impaired loans exhibit some adverse credit characteristics but continue to accrue interest because they are generally paying current.

NOTE 5. LOANS SERVICED FOR OTHERS AND MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, WesBanco serviced loans for others aggregating approximately $206.8 million and $271.0 million, respectively. Such loans are not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2010, WesBanco held custodial funds of $2.8 million relating to the servicing of residential real estate loans, which are included in deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These custodial deposits represent funds due to investors on mortgage loans serviced by WesBanco and customer funds held for real estate taxes and insurance.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the unamortized balance of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) related to these loans was approximately $2.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The fair value of the MSRs was $2.3 million and $3.2 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009. A valuation allowance of $0.5 million and $0.4 million was recorded at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as the fair value of certain loan pools was less than their carrying value. Amortization of MSRs was $0.8 million, $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense of premises and equipment charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $6.8 million, $7.6 million and $7.4 million, respectively.

WesBanco leases certain premises and equipment under non-cancellable operating leases. Certain leases contain renewal options and rent escalation clauses calling for rent increases over the term of the lease. All leases which contain a rent escalation clause are accounted for on a straight-line basis. Rent expense under leases was $2.2 million, $2.4 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

WesBanco’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include goodwill of $274.1 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009. WesBanco’s other intangible assets of $11.5 million primarily consist of core deposit and other customer list intangibles which have finite lives and are amortized using straight line and accelerated methods. Other intangible assets are being amortized over weighted average estimated useful lives ranging from ten to sixteen years. Amortization of other intangible assets totaled $2.7 million, $3.1 million and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. There were no events or changes in circumstances indicating impairment of identifiable intangibles as of December 31, 2010.

WesBanco completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of November 30, 2010 and determined that goodwill was not impaired. The evaluation for impairment involves comparing the estimated current fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. WesBanco uses market capitalization, multiples of tangible book value, a discounted cash flow model, and various other market based methods to estimate the current fair value of its reporting units. The resulting fair values of each method are then weighted based on the relevance and reliability of each respective method in light of the current economic environment to arrive at a weighted average fair value. Management concluded that goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2010.

NOTE 8. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

WesBanco is a limited partner in several tax-advantaged limited partnerships whose purpose is to invest in approved low-income housing investment tax credit projects. The limited partnerships are considered to be VIEs as they generally do not have equity investors with voting rights or have equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources to support their activities. The VIEs have not been consolidated because WesBanco is not considered the primary beneficiary, and in no case does WesBanco’s beneficial ownership exceed 25%. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, WesBanco had $5.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively, invested in these partnerships, which are recorded in other assets using the equity method. These amounts also include $1.1 million and $1.6 million, at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, of unconditional unfunded equity contributions which are recorded in other liabilities. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, WesBanco included in operations under the equity method of accounting its share of the partnerships’ losses and impairment of $1.0 million, $1.0 million, and $0.8 million, respectively. Tax benefits attributed to these partnerships include low-income housing and historic tax credits which totaled $1.0 million, for each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

WesBanco is also a limited partner in seven other limited partnerships which provide seed money and capital to startup companies, and financing to low-income housing projects. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, WesBanco had $3.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, invested in these partnerships, which are recorded in other assets using the equity method. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, WesBanco included in operations under the equity method of accounting its share of the partnerships’ losses and impairment of $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

NOTE 9. CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT

Certificates of deposit in denominations of $100 thousand or more were $791.7 million and $648.6 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Interest expense on certificates of deposit of $100 thousand or more was $15.2 million, $20.3 million and $22.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 10. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK BORROWINGS

WesBanco is a member of the FHLB System. WesBanco’s FHLB borrowings, which consist of borrowings from both the FHLB of Pittsburgh and the FHLB of Cincinnati, are secured by a blanket lien by the FHLB on certain residential mortgage and other loan types or securities with a market value in excess of the outstanding balances of the borrowings. At December 31, 2010 and 2009 WesBanco had FHLB borrowings of $253.6 million and $496.4 million, respectively, with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.64% and 3.84%, respectively. The terms of the security agreement with the FHLB include a specific assignment of collateral that requires the maintenance of qualifying mortgage and other types of loans as pledged collateral with unpaid principal amounts in excess of the FHLB advances, when discounted at certain pre-established percentages of the loans’ unpaid principal balances. FHLB stock owned by WesBanco totaling $28.0 million at December 31, 2010 and $30.9 million at December 31, 2009 is also pledged as collateral on these advances. The remaining maximum borrowing capacity by WesBanco with the FHLB at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was estimated to be approximately $1.0 billion and $914.6 million, respectively.

Certain FHLB advances contain call features, which allow the FHLB to call the outstanding balance or convert a fixed rate borrowing to a variable rate advance if the strike rate goes beyond a certain predetermined rate. The probability that these advances will be called depends primarily on the level of related interest rates during the call period. Of the $253.6 million outstanding at December 31, 2010, $111.1 million in FHLB convertible advances are subject to call or conversion to a variable rate advance by the FHLB.

The following table presents the aggregate annual maturities and weighted-average interest rates of FHLB borrowings at December 31, 2010 based on their contractual maturity dates and effective interest rates:

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally transacted with the Bank’s customers, and securities are pledged to these customers at the time of the transaction in an amount at least equal to the outstanding balance. In addition, $92.0 million of the balance outstanding at December 31, 2010 was transacted with other banks, all of which have fixed rates for the remainder of the agreement.

WesBanco has a revolving line of credit, which is a senior obligation of the parent company that was renewed with a correspondent bank effective on August 2, 2010. The revolving line of credit, which accrues interest at an adjusted LIBOR rate, provides for aggregate borrowings secured by a pledge of WesBanco’s banking subsidiary common stock of up to $25.0 million and the line matures on August 1, 2011. There were no outstanding balances as of December 31, 2010 or 2009.

NOTE 12. JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT OWED TO UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY TRUSTS

WesBanco, Inc. Capital Trust II, WesBanco, Inc. Capital Statutory Trust III, and WesBanco, Inc. Capital Trusts IV, V and VI, (“Trusts”) and Oak Hill Capital Trusts II, III and IV, are all wholly-owned trust subsidiaries of WesBanco formed for the purpose of issuing Trust Preferred Securities (“Trust Preferred Securities”) into a pool of other financial services entity trust preferred securities, and lending the proceeds to WesBanco. The Trust Preferred Securities were issued and sold in private placement offerings. The proceeds from the sale of the securities and the issuance of common stock by the Trusts were invested in Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (“Junior Subordinated Debt”) issued by WesBanco and the formerly acquired Oak Hill Bank, which are the sole assets of the Trusts. The Trusts pay dividends on the Trust Preferred Securities at the same rate as the distributions paid by WesBanco on the Junior Subordinated Debt held by the Trusts. The Trusts provide WesBanco with the option to defer payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debt for an aggregate of 20 consecutive quarterly periods. Should any of these options be utilized, WesBanco may not declare or pay dividends on its common stock during any such period. Undertakings made by WesBanco with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities for the Trusts constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by WesBanco of the obligations of these Trust Preferred Securities. WesBanco organized Trusts II and III in June 2003, Trusts IV and V in June 2004 and Trust VI in March 2005. The Oak Hill Trusts II and III were organized in 2004 and Trust IV was organized in 2005.

108

On September 8, 2010, WesBanco redeemed in full at a redemption price of 105.4% of principal plus accrued interest the Trust Preferred Securities issued by Oak Hill Capital Trust I in March 2000. The aggregate redemption price, excluding accrued interest, totaled approximately $5.3 million.

The Junior Subordinated Debt is presented as a separate category of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For regulatory purposes, the Federal Reserve Board has allowed bank holding companies to include trust preferred securities in Tier 1 Capital up to a certain limit. Provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act require the Federal Reserve Board to generally exclude trust preferred securities from Tier 1 Capital, but a grandfather provision will permit bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $15 billion, such as WesBanco, to continue counting existing trust preferred securities as Tier 1 Capital until they mature. All of the Trust Preferred Securities qualified under the current rules as Tier I instruments at December 31, 2010, but no such securities issued in the future will count as Tier 1 Capital. The Trust Preferred Securities provide the issuer with a unique capital instrument that has a tax deductible interest feature not normally associated with the equity of a corporation.

NOTE 13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined Benefit Pension Plan—The WesBanco, Inc. Defined Benefit Pension Plan (“the Plan”) established on January 1, 1985, is a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan. The Plan covers all employees of WesBanco, Inc. and its subsidiaries who were hired on or before August 1, 2007 who satisfy minimum age and length of service requirements. Benefits of the Plan are generally based on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the last five years of employment. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date, but also for those expected to be earned in the future. WesBanco uses a December 31 measurement date for its Defined Benefit Pension Plan.

The estimated net loss and prior service credit for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into the net periodic pension costs over the next fiscal year are $1.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Unrecognized prior service cost and unrecognized net losses are amortized on a straight-line basis. All unrecognized net losses are being amortized over the average remaining service period.

The expected long-term rate of return for the Plan’s total assets is based on the expected return of each of the Plan asset categories, weighted based on the median of the target allocation for each class.

Pension Plan Investment Policy and Strategy—The investment policy as established by the Retirement Plans Committee, to be followed by the Trustee, which is WesBanco’s Trust and Investment Services department, is to invest assets based on the target allocations shown in the table below. Assets are reallocated periodically by the Trustee based on the ranges set forth by the Retirement Plans Committee to meet the target allocations. The investment policy is also subject to review periodically to determine if the policy should be changed. Plan assets are to be invested with the principal objective of maximizing long-term total return without exposing Plan assets to undue risks, taking into account the Plan’s funding needs and benefit obligations. Assets are to be invested in a balanced portfolio composed primarily of equities, fixed income and cash or cash equivalent money market investments.

A maximum of 10% may be invested in any one stock. Foreign stocks may be included, either through direct investment or by the purchase of mutual funds which invest in foreign stock. Although most of the portfolio is to be invested in large capitalization stocks, up to 25% of the equity portfolio may be invested in NASDAQ stocks. WesBanco common stock can represent up to 10% of the total market value. Corporate bonds selected for purchase must be rated BAA1 by Moody’s or BBB+ by Standard and Poors or higher. No more than 10% shall be invested in bonds or notes issued by the same corporation with a maximum term of twenty years.

111

There is no limit on the holdings of U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency Securities. At December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Plan’s equity securities included 55,300 shares of WesBanco common stock with a fair market value of $1.0 million and $0.7 million.

The following table sets forth the Plan’s weighted-average asset allocations by asset category:

Employee Stock Ownership and 401(k) Plan (“KSOP”)—WesBanco sponsors a KSOP plan consisting of a non-contributory leveraged ESOP and a contributory 401(k) profit sharing plan covering substantially all of its employees. Under the provisions of the 401(k) plan, WesBanco matches a portion of eligible employee contributions based on rates established and approved by the Board of Directors. For each of the three years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, WesBanco matched 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% of eligible employee contributions. No ESOP contribution has been made for any of the past three years.

As of December 31, 2010, the KSOP held 718,033 shares of WesBanco common stock of which all shares were allocated to specific employee accounts. Dividends on shares are either distributed to employee accounts or paid in cash to the participant. Total expense for the KSOP was $1.7 million, $1.7 million, and $1.7 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Incentive Bonus, Option and Restricted Stock Plan—The Incentive Bonus, Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”), is a non-qualified plan that includes the following components: an Annual Bonus, a Long-Term Incentive Bonus, a Stock Option component, and a Restricted Stock component. The components allow for payments of cash, a mixture of cash and stock, granting of stock options, or granting of restricted stock, depending upon the component of the plan in which the award is earned through the attainment of certain performance goals or on a time based vesting requirement. Performance goals or service vesting requirements are established by WesBanco’s Compensation Committee. WesBanco had 913,319 and 186,869 shares remaining for future issuance under equity compensation plans at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Annual Bonus

Compensation expense for the Annual Bonus was $1.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.7 million for 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Stock Options

On May 19, 2010, WesBanco granted 56,300 stock options to selected participants, including certain named executive officers at an exercise price of $19.27 per share. The options granted in 2010 are service-based and vest in two equal installments on December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 and expire seven years from the date of grant.

Compensation expense for the stock option component of the Plan was $0.1 million and $0.3 in 2010 and 2008, respectively. No compensation expense was recognized in 2009. At December 31, 2010, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option grants totaled $0.1 million with an expense recognition period of 1.0 year remaining. The maximum term of options granted under WesBanco’s stock option Plan is ten years from the original grant date.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $0.1 million. The cash received and related tax benefit realized from stock options exercised at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $24 thousand and $6 thousand and $0.1 million and $9 thousand, respectively. Shares issued in connection with options exercised are issued from treasury shares acquired under WesBanco’s share repurchase plans or from issuance of authorized but unissued shares.

The fair value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. Additionally, there may be other factors that might otherwise have a significant effect on the value of stock options granted that are not considered by the model.

113

The following table sets forth the significant assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the grants:


	For the years ended December 31,
	2010			2009	2008
Weighted-average life		4.6 Years		N/A		7 Years
Risk-free interest rate		1.96	%	N/A		2.83	%
Dividend yield		2.91	%	N/A		5.16	%
Volatility factor		30.60	%	N/A		33.28	%
Fair value of the grants	$	4.06		N/A	$	3.95

The weighted-average life assumption is an estimate of the length of time that an employee might hold an option before option exercise, option expiration or employment termination. The weighted-average life assumption was developed using historical experience. WesBanco used a weighted historical volatility of its common stock price over the weighted average life prior to each issuance as the volatility factor assumption, and current and future dividend payment expectations for the dividend assumption.

The following table shows the activity for the Stock Option component of the Plan:


	For the year ended December 31, 2010
	Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share
Outstanding at beginning of the year		372,219		$	24.00
Granted during the year		56,300			19.27

Restricted Stock

On May 19, 2010, WesBanco granted 17,250 shares of restricted stock to certain executive officers. The restricted shares are service-based and vest twenty four months from the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock granted was $19.27 per share, which was the closing price of WesBanco’s common stock on May 18, 2010. Compensation expense relating to the restricted stock was $0.1 million in 2010. At December 31, 2010, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock grants totaled $0.2 million with an expense recognition period of 1.4 years remaining. The restricted stock grant provides the recipient with voting rights from the date of issuance. Dividends paid on the restricted shares during the restriction period are converted into additional shares of restricted stock on the date the cash dividend would have otherwise been paid, but do not vest until the related grant of the restricted shares complete their vesting. The Compensation Committee has discretion to elect to pay such dividends out to participants.

The following table shows the activity for the Restricted Stock component of the Plan:


For the year ended December 31, 2010	Restricted Stock		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Non-vested at January 1, 2010		—	$	—

WesBanco determined that it was not required to establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets since management believes that the deferred tax assets are likely to be realized through a carry back to taxable income in prior years, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and future taxable income.

Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, WesBanco has approximately $8.7 million of general business credit carryforwards which expire between 2027 and 2030. WesBanco also has $3.0 million of alternative minimum tax credits that may be carried forward indefinitely. WesBanco has a deferred tax asset of approximately $1.0 million which represents the tax effect of federal net operating loss carryforwards which expire between 2024 and 2025.

As a result of the Western Ohio, Winton and Oak Hill acquisitions, retained earnings at December 31, 2010 and 2009 include $11.8 million, representing the qualifying and non-qualifying tax bad debt reserves of Western Ohio, Winton and Oak Hill as of December 31, 1987, upon which no provision for income taxes has been recorded. The related amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability is $4.7 million for 2010 and 2009. If this portion of retained earnings is used in the future for any purpose other than to absorb bad debts, it will be added to future taxable income.

Federal and state income taxes applicable to securities transactions totaled $1.2 million, $2.3 million, and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, WesBanco had approximately $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits and interest. As of December 31, 2010, $0.9 million of these tax benefits would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions was $0.1 million, net of the related federal tax benefit. WesBanco accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for federal and state income taxes.

117

WesBanco is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as various state income tax jurisdictions. WesBanco is no longer subject to such examinations for years prior to 2007. WesBanco anticipates that a reduction in the unrecognized tax benefits of up to $0.4 million may occur in the next twelve months from the expiration of statutes of limitations.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

NOTE 16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The following is a discussion of these assets and liabilities and valuation techniques applied to each for fair value measurement:

Securities: The fair value of securities available-for-sale which are measured on a recurring basis are determined primarily by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other similar securities. These securities are classified within level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Positions that are not traded in active markets for which valuations are generated using assumptions not observable in the market or management’s best estimate are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. This includes certain specific municipal debt issues.

Mortgage servicing rights: The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on an independent valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions based on management’s best judgment that are significant inputs to the discounting calculations. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, they are considered impaired and are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as a result.

Impaired loans: Impaired loans are carried at the lower of cost or the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. The use of discounted cash flow models and management’s best judgment are significant inputs in arriving at the fair value measure of the underlying collateral and impaired loans are therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other real estate owned and repossessed assets: Other real estate owned and repossessed assets are carried at the lower of the investment in the assets or the fair value of the assets less estimated selling costs. The use of management’s best judgment is a significant input in arriving at the fair value measure of the underlying collateral and therefore other real estate owned and repossessed assets are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

118

Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are carried, in aggregate, at the lower of cost or fair value. The use of a valuation model and management’s best judgment are significant inputs in arriving at the fair value and therefore loans held for sale are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy:

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between level 1 and 2 for the year ending December 31, 2010.

At the close of business on April 30, 2010, available-for-sale securities with a fair value of $426.7 million were transferred to the held-to-maturity portfolio. All securities transferred were previously classified as level 2 securities except for two securities classified as level 3 totaling $0.8 million.

We may be required from time to time to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment in the carrying value of the related individual assets or portfolios:

NOTE 17. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are based on the present value of expected future cash flows, quoted market prices of similar financial instruments, if available, and other valuation techniques. These valuations are significantly affected by discount rates, cash flow assumptions, and risk assumptions used. Therefore, fair value estimates may not be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and are not intended to reflect the proceeds that may be realizable in an immediate settlement of the instruments.

Fair value is determined at one point in time and is not representative of future value. These amounts do not reflect the total value of a going concern organization. Management does not have the intention to dispose of a significant portion of its financial instruments and, therefore, the unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted as a forecast of future earnings and cash flows.

The following table represents the estimates of fair value of financial instruments:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

Cash and due from banks—The carrying amount for cash and due from banks is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities—Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, if available. If market prices are not available, then quoted market prices of similar instruments are used. If quoted prices of similar instruments are not available, the fair value is generated from model based techniques using assumptions not observable in the market.

Net loans—Fair values for loans are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discount rates take into account interest rates currently being offered to customers for loans with similar terms, the credit risk associated with the loan and market factors, including liquidity. In the current market environment for loans, investors are generally requiring a much higher rate of return then the return inherent in loans if held to maturity given the general lack of market liquidity. The valuation of the loan portfolio reflects discounts that WesBanco believes are consistent with transactions occurring in the marketplace for both performing and distressed loan types. The carrying value that fair value is compared to is net of the allowance for loan losses and other associated premiums and discounts.

Loans held for sale—Loans held for sale are carried, in aggregate, at the lower of cost or fair value.

121

Accrued interest receivable—The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance—The carrying value of bank-owned life insurance represents the net cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies, should these policies be terminated. Management believes that the carrying value approximates fair value.

Deposits—The carrying amount is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value for demand, savings and other variable rate deposit accounts. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by a discounted cash flow method using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings—For FHLB borrowings, fair value is based on rates currently available to WesBanco for borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Other borrowings—Fair values for federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements are based on quoted market prices, if available. If market prices are not available, then quoted market prices of similar instruments are used.

Junior subordinated debt owed to unconsolidated subsidiary trusts—Due to the pooled nature of these instruments, which are not actively traded on an equity market, estimated fair value is based on broker prices from recent similar sales.

Accrued interest payable—The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments—Off-balance sheet financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit including letters of credit. Fair values for commitments to extend credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit standing of the counterparties. The estimated fair value of the commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are insignificant and therefore not presented in the above table.

NOTE 19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Commitments—In the normal course of business, WesBanco offers off-balance sheet credit arrangements to enable its customers to meet their financing objectives. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements. WesBanco’s exposure to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the other parties to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is limited to the contractual amount of those instruments. WesBanco uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for all other lending. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including normal business activities, bond financing and similar transactions. Standby letters of credit are considered guarantees. The liability associated with standby letters of credit is recorded at its estimated fair value of $0.1 million as of both December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Affordable housing plan guarantees are performance guarantees for various building project loans. The guarantee amortizes as the loan balances decrease.

The following table presents total commitments to extend credit, guarantees and various letters of credit outstanding:


	December 31,
*(in thousands)*	2010		2009
Commitments to extend credit	$	648,839	$	710,871
Standby letters of credit		35,794		34,488
Affordable housing plan guarantees		4,255		4,366

In addition to the commitments above, WesBanco Bank Community Development Corporation (“WBCDC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WesBanco Bank, Inc. has made a $1.0 million commitment to an investment company in order to provide investments in early stage companies in the state of Ohio.

Contingent Liabilities—WesBanco and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal and administrative proceedings and claims. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of such proceedings or claims pending or known to be threatened will not have a material adverse effect on WesBanco’s consolidated financial position.

NOTE 20. WESBANCO BANK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

WesBanco Bank Community Development Corporation (“WBCDC”) is a Certified Development Entity (“CDE”) with $60 million of new markets tax credits (“NMTC”). The NMTC program is administered by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the U.S. Treasury and is aimed at stimulating economic and community development and job creation in low-income communities. The program provides federal tax credits to investors who make qualified equity investments (“QEIs”) in a CDE. The CDE is required to invest the proceeds of each QEI in low-income communities, which are generally defined as those census tracts with poverty rates greater than 20 percent and/or median family incomes that are less than or equal to 80 percent of the area median family income.

The credit provided to the investor totals 39 percent of each QEI in a CDE and is claimed over a seven-year credit allowance period. In each of the first three years, the investor receives a credit equal to five percent of the

124

total amount the investor paid to the CDE for each QEI. For each of the remaining four years, the investor receives a credit equal to six percent of the total amount the investor paid to the CDE for each QEI. WesBanco will be eligible to receive $23.4 million in tax credits over the seven-year credit allowance period for its investment of up to $60.0 million in WBCDC. At December 31, 2010, a total of $44.0 million of the $60.0 million in NMTC authority had been invested in WBCDC with $14.0 million invested in 2010.

WesBanco Bank recognized $2.4 and $1.7 million in new markets tax credits in its income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The following table sets forth the new markets tax credits expected to be claimed by WesBanco Bank on its federal income tax returns for years 2011 through 2014 with respect to aggregate QEI amounts invested as of December 31, 2010. These tax credits are subject to certain general business tax credit limitations, as well as the alternative minimum tax, and are therefore limited in deductibility currently due to the applicability of alternative minimum tax on WesBanco’s federal income tax return. An additional $16.0 million of QEI’s are expected to be invested in WBCDC over the next three years.


*(in thousands)*	Aggregate QEI Amount		New Markets Tax Credit
Year	Aggregate QEI Amount		2011		2012		2013		2014

Total	$	44,000	$	1,875	$	1,300	$	1,440	$	1,440

The new markets tax credits claimed by WesBanco Bank, with respect to each QEI, remain subject to recapture over each QEI’s credit allowance period upon the occurrence of any of the following:

•

if less than substantially all (generally defined as 85%) of the QEI proceeds are not used by WBCDC to make qualified low income community investments;

•

WBCDC ceases to be a CDE; or

•

WBCDC redeems its QEI investment prior to the end of the current credit allowance periods.

At December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 none of the above recapture events had occurred, nor in the opinion of management are such events likely to occur in the foreseeable future.

The following condensed financial statements summarize the financial position of WBCDC as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTE 21. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Certain directors and officers (including their affiliates, families and entities in which they are principal owners) of WesBanco and its subsidiaries are customers of, or suppliers to, those subsidiaries and have had, and are expected to have, transactions with the subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. In addition, certain directors are also directors or officers of corporations, which are customers of, or suppliers to, the Bank and have had, and are expected to have, transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, such transactions are consistent with prudent banking practices and are within applicable banking regulations. Indebtedness of related parties aggregated approximately $6.6 million, $16.5 million and $15.8 million as of December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. During 2010, $5.6 million in related party loans were funded, $5.5 million were repaid and $10.0 million were no longer considered related party interests. At December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, none of the outstanding related party loans were past due 90 days or more, renegotiated or considered to be non-accrual.

NOTE 22. REGULATORY MATTERS

The Federal Reserve is the primary regulator for WesBanco. WesBanco Bank is a state non-member bank regulated by the FDIC. WesBanco is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries and is dependent upon dividends from its subsidiary bank, WesBanco Bank, to provide funds for the payment of dividends to shareholders, fund its current stock repurchase plan and to provide for other cash requirements. The payment of dividends by WesBanco Bank to WesBanco is subject to state and federal banking regulations. Under applicable law, bank regulatory agency approval is required if the total of all dividends declared by a bank in any calendar year exceeds the available retained earnings or exceeds the aggregate of the bank’s net profits (as defined by regulatory agencies) for that year and its retained net profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to the surplus fund. As of December 31, 2010, under FDIC regulations, WesBanco could receive, without prior regulatory approval, a dividend of up to $4.8 million from WesBanco Bank.

WesBanco and its banking subsidiary are also required to maintain non-interest bearing reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average required reserve balances was $5.0 million during both 2010 and 2009.

Additionally, WesBanco and WesBanco Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements (risk-based capital ratios) administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material adverse effect on WesBanco’s financial results.

All bank holding companies and banking subsidiaries are required to have core capital (“Tier 1”) of at least 4% of risk-weighted assets, total capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets, and for banking subsidiaries a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% of adjusted quarterly average assets. Tier 1 capital consists principally of shareholders’ equity; excluding items recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, less goodwill and other intangibles. Total capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses subject to limitation. The regulations also define well-capitalized levels of Tier 1, total capital, and Tier 1 leverage as 6%, 10%, and 5%, respectively. WesBanco and its banking subsidiary were categorized as “well-capitalized” under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act at December 31, 2010 and 2009. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2010 that management believes have changed WesBanco’s “well-capitalized” category.

127

WesBanco currently has $106.0 million in junior subordinated debt in its Consolidated Balance Sheets presented as a separate category of long-term debt. For regulatory purposes, trust preferred securities totaling $103.0 million, issued by unconsolidated trust subsidiaries of WesBanco, Inc. underlying such junior subordinated debt, is included in Tier 1 capital in accordance with current regulatory reporting requirements. A grandfather provision of the Dodd-Frank Act will permit bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $15 billion, such as WesBanco, to continue counting existing trust preferred securities as Tier 1 Capital until they mature.

The following table summarizes risk-based capital amounts and ratios for WesBanco and the Bank:


	Minimum Value (1)			Well Capitalized (2)			December 31, 2010					December 31, 2009

NOTE 24. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

WesBanco operates two reportable segments: community banking and trust and investment services. WesBanco’s community banking segment offers services traditionally offered by full-service commercial banks, including commercial demand, individual demand and time deposit accounts, as well as commercial, mortgage and individual installment loans, and certain non-traditional offerings, such as insurance and securities brokerage services. The trust and investment services segment offers trust services as well as various alternative investment products including mutual funds. The market value of assets of the trust and investment services segment was approximately $2.9 billion, $2.7 billion and $2.4 billion at December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. These assets are held by WesBanco, in fiduciary or agency capacities for their customers and therefore are not included as assets on WesBanco’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
