Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO
THE NEWALLIANCE MERGER
THE NEWALLIANCE MERGER
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information has been
prepared using the acquisition method of accounting, giving effect to First Niagara Financial
Group Inc.s (First Niagara) April 15, 2011 merger with NewAlliance Bancshares, Inc. (NewAlliance).
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of financial condition combines
the historical financial information of First Niagara and NewAlliance as of March 31, 2011, and
assumes that the merger was completed on that date. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed
consolidated statement of operations gives effect to the NewAlliance merger as if the merger had
been completed on January 1, 2010.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information is presented for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or
financial condition had the NewAlliance merger been completed on the dates described above, nor is
it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial
position of the combined entities.
The pro forma financial information includes estimated adjustments to record assets and liabilities
of NewAlliance at their respective fair values and represents First Niagaras estimates based on
available information. The pro forma adjustments included herein are subject to change as
additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The final
allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of NewAlliance will be determined after
analyses to determine the fair value of NewAlliances tangible and identifiable intangible assets
and liabilities are completed. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net
assets as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed
consolidated financial information may result in a change in the amount of the purchase price
allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities from the amount currently allocated based on
the estimate of fair values reflected in the pro forma financial information, and may impact First
Niagaras actual statement of operations due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the
adjusted assets or liabilities. The final adjustments may be materially different from those
reflected in the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein.
First Niagara anticipates that the NewAlliance merger will provide the combined company with
financial benefits that include reduced operating expenses. However, First Niagara cannot
guarantee any such financial benefit will actually materialize. Even if the anticipated financial
benefits materialize, they may prove to be less than what First Niagara anticipated. First Niagara
may not be able to retain NewAlliances customers, and/or costs to integrate NewAlliance into First
Niagara may be greater than what First Niagara estimated. The pro forma financial information,
while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set
of assumptions, does not reflect the potential benefits of expected cost savings, opportunities to
earn additional revenue, or potential costs relating to customer retention, integration or
otherwise, and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does
not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had
First Niagara and NewAlliance been combined during the period presented below.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from
and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the
related notes of First Niagara and NewAlliance.
The unaudited pro forma stockholders equity and net income are qualified by the statements set
forth above and below and should not be considered indicative of the market value of First
Niagaras common stock or the actual or future results of operations of First Niagara for any
period. Actual results may be materially different than the pro forma financial information
presented.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Note A Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information and explanatory notes
show the impact on the historical financial condition and results of operations of First Niagara
resulting from the April 15, 2011 merger with NewAlliance under the acquisition method of
accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of NewAlliance
are recorded by First Niagara at their respective fair values on the date the NewAlliance merger
was completed. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of financial
condition combines the historical financial information of First Niagara and NewAlliance as of
March 31, 2011, and assumes that the merger was completed on that date. The unaudited pro forma
combined condensed consolidated statement of operations gives effect to the NewAlliance merger as
if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2010.
As the merger is recorded using the acquisition method of accounting, all loans are recorded at
fair value, including adjustments for credit, and no allowance for loan losses is carried over to
First Niagaras statement of financial condition.
Note B Merger and Acquisition Integration Costs
The historical results of Firsts Niagara for the three months ended March 31, 2011 include merger
and acquisition integration costs of $6.0 million related to the NewAlliance merger. These
integration costs primarily consist of professional services, severance, charitable contributions,
and marketing and advertising expenses and are eliminated as a pro forma adjustment.
The historical results of NewAlliance include merger and acquisition integration costs of $1.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, related to its merger with First
Niagara. These integration costs primarily consist of investment banking, and compensation
expenses and are eliminated as a pro forma adjustment.
First
Niagara expects to incur a total of $104 million in merger and acquisition integration
expenses in connection with the NewAlliance merger, primarily severance, professional, legal and
conversion related expenditures, which are not reflected in the pro forma financial information.
Note C Estimated Annual Cost Savings
First Niagara expects to realize cost savings of approximately 20-25% of NewAlliances operating
expenses following the merger. These cost savings are not reflected in the pro forma financial
information and there can be no assurance they will be achieved in the amount or manner currently
contemplated.
Note D Pro Forma Adjustments
The following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined
condensed financial information. All adjustments are based on current assumptions and valuations,
which are subject to change.
(1) | The adjustment results from a sale of NewAlliance investment securities, partially offset by the cash First Niagara will use to pay for the following items: |
(in thousands) | ||||
Investment securities sales |
$ | 477,396 | ||
Merger consideration |
(198,681 | ) | ||
Capital expenditures |
(25,000 | ) | ||
After tax merger and integration expenses |
(56,811 | ) | ||
Total |
$ | 196,904 | ||
(2) | In part to fund the cash component of the NewAlliance merger consideration, First Niagara sold $477.4 million of investment securities acquired from NewAlliance. This amount is reflected as a pro forma adjustment. This adjustment is partially offset by an estimated fair value adjustment to investment securities held by First Niagara of $18.7 million. | |
(3) | Represents the estimated fair value adjustment to loans, which includes an estimate of lifetime credit losses. Accordingly, the existing NewAlliance allowance for loan losses is not carried over. | |
(4) | Represents the fair value adjustment to premises and equipment of $1.4 million and anticipated capital expenditures for occupancy, technology, and communications of $25.0 million. | |
(5) | Represents adjustments to goodwill resulting from recording the assets and liabilities of NewAlliance at fair value. These adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change. The excess of consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and can be summarized as follows: |
(in thousands) | ||||||||
First Niagara common stock issued |
$ | 1,315,786 | (a) | |||||
Cash payments to NewAlliance stockholders |
198,681 | |||||||
Fair value of NewAlliance employee stock options |
15,766 | (b) | ||||||
Total consideration |
$ | 1,530,233 | ||||||
Carrying value of NewAlliance net assets at March 31, 2011 |
$ | 1,469,037 | ||||||
Fair value adjustments (debit/(credit)): |
||||||||
Write-off of NewAlliance goodwill |
$ | (527,167 | ) | |||||
Write-off of NewAlliance other identifiable intangibles |
(25,595 | ) | ||||||
Investment securities |
18,674 | |||||||
Loans, net |

Core deposit intangible |
23,800 | |||||||
Premises and equipment |

Certificates of deposit |
(29,078 | ) | ||||||
Borrowings |
(63,814 | ) | ||||||
Total fair value adjustments |
(589,973 | ) | ||||||
Fair value of net assets acquired at March 31, 2011 |
$ | 879,064 | ||||||
Excess of consideration paid over fair value of net
assets acquired (goodwill) |
$ | 651,169 | ||||||
(a) | Based on NewAlliance common shares outstanding at April 15, 2011 and $14.00 closing price per share of First Niagara common stock on April 15, 2011. | |
(b) | Under the terms of the merger agreement, each NewAlliance employee stock option was automatically vested and converted into an option to purchase 1.10 shares of First Niagara common stock, with an exercise price equal to the NewAlliance stock option exercise price divided by 1.10. The converted stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. |
(6) | Represents the elimination of existing NewAlliance identifiable intangibles, partially offset by the recognition of the fair value of a core deposit intangible asset of $23.8 million. | |
(7) | Represents a net deferred tax asset resulting from the fair value adjustments related to the acquired assets and liabilities. The net deferred tax asset was computed using First Niagaras combined income tax rate of 38% (35% federal statutory rate and combined state rate of 3%) | |
(8) | Represents the estimated fair value adjustment to certificate of deposit liabilities. | |
(9) | Represents the estimated fair value adjustment to borrowings. | |
(10) | The net impact of the adjustments to stockholders equity is detailed in the table below. The fair value of the shares of common stock and employee stock options exchanged represents the fair value of the actual merger consideration exchanged on April 15, 2011, the date of the NewAlliance merger, and was computed using the $14.00 closing price per share of First Niagaras common stock on that date. |
(in thousands) | ||||||||
Fair value
of First Niagara common stock to be issued |
$ | 1,315,786 | ||||||

Total stockholders equity adjustment |
$ | (194,296 | ) | |||||
(11) | The amortization/accretion of fair value adjustments related to loans, investment securities, deposits, and borrowings utilizing the interest method over the estimated lives of the related asset or liability. |
The estimated increase (decrease) on pre-tax income from the purchase accounting adjustments for the five years succeeding the NewAlliance merger is as follows: |
Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 | Year 5 | Total | |||||||||||||||||||
(in thousands) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Investment securities |
$ | (11,165 | ) | $ | (11,727 | ) | $ | (9,389 | ) | $ | (5,274 | ) | $ | (685 | ) | $ | (38,240 | ) | ||||||
Loans |

(12) | While the recording of the acquired loans at their fair value will impact the prospective determination of the provision for loan losses and the allowance for loan losses, we assumed no adjustments to the historical amount of NewAlliances provision for credit losses. If such adjustments were estimated, there could be a reduction in the historical amount of NewAlliances provision for credit losses presented. | |
(13) | Noninterest income does not reflect revenue enhancement opportunities. | |
(14) | Depreciation of anticipated capital expenditures utilizing the straight line method over a five year period. | |
(15) | Incremental amortization of core deposit intangible using an accelerated method over a useful life of seven years. |
(16) | Represents the elimination of historical merger and acquisition integration expenses related to the NewAlliance merger. | |
(17) | Noninterest expenses do not reflect anticipated cost savings. | |
(18) | Reflects the tax impact of the pro forma merger adjustments at First Niagaras combined income tax rate of 38% (35% federal statutory rate and combined state rate of 3%.) | |
(19) | Adjustment reflects the elimination of NewAlliance weighted average shares outstanding, offset by the 94 million shares of common stock issued in connection with the NewAlliance merger. |
Note E Effect of Hypothetical Adjustments on NewAlliances Historical Financial Statements
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of operations presents the pro
forma results assuming the NewAlliance merger occurred on January 1, 2010. As required by
Regulation S-X Article 11, the pro forma financial statement for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 does not reflect any adjustments to eliminate NewAlliances historical
provision for credit losses.
NewAlliances provision for credit losses for the period presented relates to loans that First
Niagara is required to initially record at fair value. Such fair value adjustments include a
component related to the expected lifetime credit losses on those loan portfolios. First Niagara
believes that these provisions would not have been recorded in First Niagaras combined
consolidated financial statements for the periods presented had the NewAlliance merger been
completed on January 1, 2010.
