Webster Financial Corporation Releases
Results of 2015 Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test

WATERBURY, Conn., June 16, 2015 - Webster Financial Corporation (NYSE: WBS), the holding company for Webster Bank, today announced the release of its company-run 2015 capital stress test results as required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The stress test disclosure includes results for both Webster Financial Corporation and Webster Bank, and can be found on Webster’s Investor Relations website under the heading “Presentations” http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=73114&p=irol-presentations. Webster Financial Corporation’s and Webster Bank’s regulatory capital ratios continue to significantly exceed well-capitalized levels throughout the nine quarter stress test period. Results are based on a forward-looking exercise using hypothetical severely adverse macroeconomic assumptions developed and provided by the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, and do not represent Webster’s economic forecast.
