FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PEOPLES UNITED BANK, N.A. RELEASES RESULTS OF 2015
DODD-FRANK ACT COMPANY-RUN STRESS TEST
BRIDGEPORT, CT Peoples United Bank, N.A. announced today the release of its 2015 company-run stress test results. In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Peoples United Bank is required to conduct annual stress tests (DFAST) to assess the potential effect of hypothetical economic scenarios on earnings and capital. The results of the Banks 2015 DFAST indicate that the Bank will have the financial resources to successfully navigate a severe and protracted economic downturn and will maintain capital levels that exceed regulatory minimums throughout the nine quarter planning period under the Federal Reserves Supervisory Severely Adverse Scenario.
The Banks disclosures of projected results, risks and assumptions are hypothetical and made in accordance with regulatory requirements. The stress scenario, risks and financial results do not necessarily reflect the Banks future expectations of results of operations and are not intended to be the Banks forecast of future economic or financial conditions, but rather reflect potential results under the Federal Reserves Supervisory Severely Adverse scenario. Since Peoples United Financial, Inc. was not a bank holding company in 2014, a DFAST filing was not required on a consolidated level and accordingly, the results disclosed reflect stress tests conducted at the Bank. The results can be found in the Investor Relations section of the Banks Internet site at peoples.com under Financial Information.
Peoples United Bank is a subsidiary of Peoples United Financial, Inc., a diversified financial services company with $36 billion in assets. Peoples United Bank, founded in 1842, is a premier, community-based, regional bank in the Northeast offering commercial and retail banking, as well as wealth management services through a network of over 400 branches in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
