Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 22, 2012, F.N.B. Corporation (“FNB”) and Annapolis Bancorp, Inc. (“Annapolis Bancorp”) announced that they entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for, among other things, the acquisition by FNB of all outstanding shares of common stock of Annapolis Bancorp in a stock-for-stock transaction. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Annapolis Bancorp will merge with and into FNB (the “Merger”), and existing Annapolis Bancorp shareholders will become entitled to receive 1.143 shares of FNB common stock for each share of Annapolis Bancorp stock. In addition, a cash credit-related adjustment provides that shareholders of Annapolis Bancorp may receive up to an additional $0.36 per share in cash for each share of Annapolis Bancorp common stock they own, dependent on Annapolis Bancorp’s ability to resolve an agreed-upon credit matter. The Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval from Annapolis Bancorp shareholders.

Presentation materials concerning the Merger, which will be available on FNB’s website at www.fnbcorporation.com beginning on October 22, 2012, are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference. The information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.2 shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, unless specifically identified as being incorporated therein by reference.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which contain FNB’s expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “estimate,” “continue,” “positions,” “prospects” or “potential,” by future conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may”, or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we assume no duty to update forward-looking statements.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in FNB’s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this filing, the following factors among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: ability to obtain regulatory approvals and meet other closing conditions to the Merger, including approval by Annapolis Bancorp shareholders, on the expected terms and schedule; delay in closing the Merger; difficulties experienced by FNB in expanding into a new market area, including retention of customers and key personnel of Annapolis Bancorp and its subsidiary BankAnnapolis; difficulties and delays in integrating the FNB and Annapolis Bancorp businesses or fully realizing cost savings and other benefits; business disruption following the Merger; changes in asset quality and credit risk; the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth; changes in interest rates and capital markets; inflation; customer acceptance of FNB


products and services; customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices; customer disintermediation; the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives; competitive conditions; the inability to realize cost savings or revenues or to implement integration plans and other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; economic conditions; and the impact, extent and timing of technological changes, capital management activities, and other actions of the Federal Reserve Board and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms.
