Local Banking is Better Than Ever 3 ▪ Completed the Chicopee acquisition on October 21, 2016. ▪ Renamed the holding company Western New England Bancorp, Inc. (“ WNEB ”) to reflect the broadened reach and market focus. ▪ First in - market merger in Hampden County in over 25 years, creating the largest community bank in the county with 17 branches and a significant #2 deposit market share. Solid #4 deposit market share in Springfield MSA. ▪ Systems conversion successfully completed in December 2016. ▪ Integration of retail lending and the creation of a powerful commercial lending team. ▪ Established Westfield Financial Management Services. ▪ Westfield Bank now has 21 branches across a wide service area in western Massachusetts and northern Connecticut with a larger lending limit and capabilities of broader institution.

 
 

What Better Banking’s All About 4 ▪ Highly compatible cultures with similar operating models, customer focus and strong service and community orientation. ▪ Virtually no branch overlap and no branch closures. ▪ Westfield’s market presence west of the Connecticut River complements Chicopee’s footprint and focus east of the Connecticut River. ▪ Westfield’s presence in larger C&I lending complements Chicopee’s small business and commercial real estate focus. Natural synergies of size and scale enhance both efforts. ▪ Enhanced branch network provides greater density in attractive markets with significant retail and commercial opportunities. ▪ Broader platform to cross - sell fee income opportunities, including mortgage banking and wealth management.
