Exhibit 99.2

Beneficial Bank

Dear Depositor:

We are pleased to announce that the Boards of Directors of Beneficial Savings Bank MHC and Beneficial Mutual Bancorp, Inc. and the Board of Trustees of Beneficial Bank have unanimously adopted a plan of conversion and reorganization whereby we will convert from the mutual holding company form to the full stock form of organization. We are converting to, among other things, eliminate the uncertainties associated with the mutual holding company structure under financial reform legislation and to transition to a more familiar and flexible organizational structure that will better support our long-term growth. To continue our commitment to our local community, as part of the conversion, we intend to contribute cash to our existing charitable foundation, The Beneficial Foundation, which is dedicated to supporting charitable causes within the communities in which we operate.

The Proxy Card

To accomplish the conversion and reorganization and the contribution to the foundation, your participation is extremely important. On behalf of the Board, I ask that you help us meet our goal by reading the enclosed material and then casting your vote in favor of the plan of conversion and reorganization and in favor of the contribution to the foundation. You may vote by mail by returning your proxy using the enclosed postage-paid envelope marked “PROXY RETURN.” You can also vote by telephone or Internet, as instructed on the proxy card. If you have more than one account, you may receive more than one proxy. Please support us by voting all proxy cards received. There are no duplicates.

If the plan of conversion and reorganization is approved, let me assure you that:

 

    deposit accounts will continue to be federally insured to the maximum extent permitted by law;

 

    existing deposit accounts and loans will not undergo any change; and

 

    voting for approval will not obligate you to buy any shares of common stock.

The Stock Order Form

As a qualifying account holder you also have nontransferable rights to subscribe for shares of Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. common stock on a priority basis before the stock is offered to the general public.

We regret that we are unable to offer you common stock in the subscription offering because the laws of your jurisdiction require us to register (1) the to-be-issued common stock of Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. or (2) an agent of Beneficial Bank to solicit the sale of such stock, and the number of eligible subscribers in your jurisdiction does not justify the expense of such registration.

Questions & Answers About the Stock Offering

We are pleased to announce that the Boards of Directors of Beneficial Savings Bank MHC and Beneficial Mutual Bancorp, Inc. and the Board of Trustees of Beneficial Bank have unanimously adopted a plan of conversion and reorganization whereby we will convert from the mutual holding company form to the full stock form of organization. To continue our commitment to our local community, as part of the conversion, we intend to contribute cash to our existing charitable foundation, The Beneficial Foundation, which is dedicated to supporting charitable causes within the communities in which we operate. The plan is subject to the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of outstanding votes entitled to be cast by the depositors of Beneficial Bank at a special meeting of depositors. The plan must also be approved by Beneficial Mutual Bancorp, Inc. stockholders at a separate meeting of stockholders.

Investing in common stock involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks and other factors, investors are urged to read the accompanying prospectus before making an investment decision.

 

Q. Who can purchase stock?

 

A. The common stock of Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. is being offered in the subscription offering in the following order of priority:

 

  1) Eligible Account Holders – depositors of Beneficial Bank with aggregate balances of $50 or more at the close of business on June 30, 2013.

 

  2) Beneficial Bank’s employee savings and stock ownership plan.

 

  3) Supplemental Eligible Account Holders – depositors of Beneficial Bank with aggregate balances of $50 or more at the close of business on September 30, 2014 who are not eligible in category 1 above.

 

  4) Other Depositors – depositors of Beneficial Bank at the close of business on                  , 2014 who are not in eligible in categories 1 or 3 above.

Subject to the priority rights of qualifying depositors in the subscription offering, common stock is being offered to certain members of the general public in a community offering, with priority to natural persons (including trusts of natural persons) residing in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties in Pennsylvania and in Burlington, Camden and Gloucester Counties in New Jersey, and then to Beneficial Mutual Bancorp, Inc. public stockholders as of                  , 2014 and finally to members of the general public. The community offering may begin concurrently with, or any time after, the subscription offering. To the extent any shares remain available after the completion of the subscription and community offerings, they will be offered for sale in a syndicated offering or a firm commitment underwritten public offering.

 

Q. Am I guaranteed to receive shares by placing an order?

 

A. No. It is possible that orders received during the offering period will exceed the number of shares being sold. Such an oversubscription would result in shares being allocated among subscribers starting with subscribers who are Eligible Account Holders. If the offering is oversubscribed in the subscription offering, no orders received in the community offering will be filled.


Q. How many shares of stock are being offered, and at what price?

 

A. Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. is offering for sale up to 63,250,000 shares of common stock at a subscription price of $10.00 per share.

 

Q. How much stock can I purchase?

 

A. The minimum purchase is 25 shares ($250). As more fully discussed in the plan of conversion and reorganization and in the prospectus, the maximum purchase by any person in the subscription or community offering is 150,000 shares ($1.5 million). In addition, no person together with their associates or a group of persons acting in concert may purchase more than 250,000 shares ($2.5 million) of common stock in the offering.

 

Q. How do I order stock?

 

A. If you decide to subscribe for shares, you must return the properly completed and signed stock order form, along with full payment for the shares, to Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. by mail using the enclosed postage-paid envelope marked “STOCK ORDER RETURN” or by overnight delivery service to our Stock Information Center located at [stock center address]. You may also hand deliver stock order forms at this location. We will not accept stock order forms at our other banking offices. Your order must be physically received (not postmarked) by Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. no later than 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on     day,                  , 2014. Please read the prospectus carefully before making an investment decision.

 

Q. How can I pay for my shares of stock?

 

A. You can pay for the common stock by check, money order, or withdrawal from your deposit account or certificate of deposit at Beneficial Bank. Checks and money orders must be made payable to Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. Withdrawals from a certificate of deposit at Beneficial Bank to buy shares of common stock may be made without penalty.

 

Q. Can I use my Beneficial Bank home equity line of credit to subscribe for shares of common stock?

 

A. No. Beneficial Bank cannot knowingly lend funds to anyone to subscribe for shares. This includes the use of funds available through a Beneficial Bank home equity line of credit.

 

Q. When is the deadline to subscribe for stock?

 

A. An executed stock order form with the required full payment must be physically received (not postmarked) by Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. no later than 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time on     day,                  , 2014.

 

Q. Can I subscribe for shares using funds in my IRA at Beneficial Bank?

 

A. No. Federal regulations do not permit the purchase of common stock with your existing IRA or other qualified plan at Beneficial Bank. To use these funds to subscribe for common stock, you need to establish a “self directed” trust account with an unaffiliated trustee. The transfer of these funds takes time, so please make arrangements as soon as possible. However, if you intend to subscribe for common stock due to your eligibility as an IRA account holder but plan to use funds from sources other than your IRA account, you need not close and transfer your IRA account. Please call our Stock Information Center if you require additional information.

 

Q. Can I subscribe for shares and add someone else who is not on my account to my stock registration?

 

A. No. Federal regulations prohibit the transfer of subscription rights.

 

Q. Can I subscribe for shares in my name alone if I have a joint account?

 

A. Yes.


Q. Will payments for common stock earn interest until the conversion closes?

 

A. Yes. Any payment made by check or money order will earn interest at our statement savings rate of 0.25% from the date the order is processed to the completion or termination of the conversion. Depositors who elect to pay for their common stock by a withdrawal authorization will receive interest at the contractual rate on the account until the completion or termination of the offering.

 

Q. Will dividends be paid on the stock?

 

A. After the completion of the conversion and offering, our board of directors will consider adopting a policy of paying cash dividends.

 

Q. Will my stock be covered by deposit insurance?

 

A. No.

 

Q. Where will the stock be traded?

 

A. Upon completion of the conversion and offering, our shares of common stock will trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “BNCL.”

 

Q. Can I change my mind after I place an order to subscribe for stock?

 

A. No. After receipt, your order may not be modified or withdrawn.

 

Q. What happens to the Beneficial Mutual Bancorp, Inc. shares I currently own?

 

A. The shares of common stock owned by the existing stockholders of Beneficial Mutual Bancorp, Inc. will be exchanged for shares of common stock of Beneficial Bancorp, Inc., based on an exchange ratio. The actual number of shares you receive will depend upon the number of shares we sell in our offering. Cash will be paid instead of issuing any fractional shares.

 

Q. If I purchase shares of common stock during the offering, when will I receive my stock?

 

A. Physical stock certificates will not be issued. Our transfer agent will send you a stock ownership statement, via the Direct Registration System (DRS), by first class mail as soon as possible after the completion of the conversion and offering. Although the shares of Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. common stock will have begun trading, brokerage firms may require that you have received your stock ownership statement prior to selling your shares. Your ability to sell the shares of common stock prior to your receipt of the statement will depend on arrangements you may make with a brokerage firm.

 

Q. What is direct registration and DRS?

 

A. Direct registration is the ownership of stock registered in your own name on the books of Beneficial Bancorp, Inc., without taking possession of a printed stock certificate. Instead, your ownership is recorded and tracked as an accounting entry (“book entry”) on the books of Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. DRS is a system that electronically moves investors’ positions between brokers and transfer agents for issuers that offer direct registration.

Additional Information

 

Q. What if I have additional questions or require more information?

 

A. Beneficial Bancorp, Inc.’s prospectus that accompanies this brochure describes the conversion in detail. Please read the prospectus carefully before subscribing for stock. If you have any questions after reading the enclosed material, you may call our Stock Information Center at (      )       -        , Monday through Friday, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time.

DIRECT REGISTRATION: Holding Your Shares in Book Entry

Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) has elected to require former registered stockholders of Beneficial Mutual Bancorp, Inc. and new stockholders of Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. to use the Direct Registration System (“DRS”) as a means of recording and maintaining the registered shares of Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. they will receive as a result of Beneficial Bank’s “second-step conversion.” This flyer outlines what DRS is and what it means to you as a registered stockholder.

What is DRS?

DRS is the system that electronically moves investors’ positions between brokers and transfer agents for issuers that offer direct registration. Direct registration is the ownership of stock registered in your own name on the books of the Company, without taking possession of a printed stock certificate. Instead, your ownership is recorded and tracked as an accounting entry on the books of the Company.

Why is the Company offering DRS?

DRS gives our stockholders several advantages:

 

    It eliminates the risk of loss or theft of your stock certificate and the potential cost and inconvenience of having to obtain a surety bond to replace a lost certificate; and

 

    It eliminates the need for you to store your certificates and retrieve them should you wish to transfer or sell your shares.

How will I know how many shares I own?

The Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”), will periodically send you an account statement showing you how many shares are held by you in certificate and book-entry.

What happens if I lose a DRS account statement?

If you need a duplicate statement of ownership, contact Computershare and it will mail you a new one.

How can I transfer shares to my broker?

To transfer your shares to your brokerage account, provide your broker with:

 

    The most recent copy of your transfer agent account statement;

 

    The Social Security Account Number on your account;

 

    Your transfer agent account number (which is on the statement);

 

    Computershares’ DTC number, which is                     ; and

 

    The number of whole shares held in book-entry that you wish to transfer to your brokerage account.

Your broker will request that your shares be delivered to your brokerage account through the Depository Trust Company’s Profile System.

If I have more questions, how can I get answers?

You can go on-line to the Computershare’s website, www.computershare.com, or call their Investor Relations Department at                      to speak to a representative.
