Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus

CONSOLIDATION PROPOSED—YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

        On March 7, 2013, Riverview Financial Corporation, or Riverview, and Union Bancorp, Inc., or Union, entered into a consolidation agreement that provides for the combination of the two companies. Under the consolidation agreement, Riverview and Union will consolidate, forming a new corporation under the name of "Riverview Financial Corporation", and the separate corporate existence of Union and Riverview will cease. In this document, we refer to the new, consolidated corporation as "Newco". Before we complete the consolidation, the shareholders of Riverview and Union must adopt the consolidation agreement. Riverview shareholders will vote to adopt the consolidation agreement and on the other matters described below at a special meeting of shareholders to be held on [    •    ], 2013. Union shareholders will vote to adopt the consolidation agreement and on the other matters described below at an annual meeting of shareholders to be held on [    •    ], 2013.

        If the consolidation is completed, Union shareholders will receive 1.95 shares of Newco's common stock in exchange for each share of Union common stock they own immediately prior to completion of the consolidation, and Riverview shareholders will receive one share of Newco's common stock in exchange for each share of Riverview common stock they own immediately prior to completion of the consolidation. In each case, we refer to the number of shares of Newco to be received in exchange for a Riverview or Union share of common stock as the "exchange ratio." Immediately after the consolidation, we anticipate that Riverview shareholders will own approximately 63.5% of the outstanding Newco common stock, and Union shareholders will own approximately 36.5% of the outstanding Newco common stock.

        The consolidation has been structured to qualify as a tax-free reorganization.

        The Riverview board of directors has determined that the combination of Riverview and Union is advisable and in the best interests of Riverview shareholders based upon its analysis, investigation and deliberation, and the Riverview board of directors unanimously recommends that the Riverview shareholders vote " FOR " the adoption of the consolidation agreement and " FOR " the approval of the other proposals described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

        The Union board of directors has determined that the combination of Union and Riverview is advisable and in the best interests of Union based upon its analysis, investigation and deliberation, and the Union board of directors unanimously recommends that the Union shareholders vote " FOR " the adoption of the consolidation agreement and " FOR " the approval of the other proposals described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

        You should read this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes hereto and the documents incorporated by reference herein, carefully because it contains important information about the consolidation and the related transactions. In particular, you should read carefully the information under the section entitled " Risk Factors " beginning on page 30.

        The shares of Newco common stock to be issued to Union and Riverview shareholders in the consolidation are not deposits or savings accounts or other obligations of any bank or savings association, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. None of Union, Riverview or Newco common stock is listed on any securities exchange.

        Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved the consolidation described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus or the Newco common stock to be issued in the consolidation, or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

        The date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus is [    •    ], 2013, and it is first being mailed or otherwise delivered to shareholders on or about [    •    ], 2013.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE CONSOLIDATION AND THE SHAREHOLDER
MEETINGS

         The following questions and answers briefly address some commonly asked questions about the consolidation (as defined below) and the shareholder meetings. They may not include all the information that is important to the shareholders of Riverview and of Union. Shareholders of Riverview and of Union should each read carefully this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and other documents referred to in this document .


Questions about the Consolidation

Q:
What is the consolidation?

A:
Riverview and Union have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Consolidation, dated March 7, 2013, which was amended and restated on April 24, 2013, and, as so amended and restated, is referred to as the "consolidation agreement." A copy of the consolidation agreement is attached as Annex A to, and is incorporated by reference in, this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The consolidation agreement contains the terms and conditions of the proposed business combination of Riverview and Union. Under the consolidation agreement, Union and Riverview will consolidate to form a new Pennsylvania corporation that we refer to in this document as "Newco", and the separate corporate existence of Union and Riverview will cease. We refer to this transaction as the "consolidation."

Q:
Why am I receiving these materials?

A:
This document constitutes both a joint proxy statement of Riverview and Union and a prospectus of Newco. It is a joint proxy statement because the boards of directors of both companies are soliciting proxies from their respective holders of common stock at their respective shareholder meetings. It is a prospectus because Newco will issue shares of its common stock in exchange for shares of Union common stock and Riverview common stock in the consolidation.
Q:
Why is Riverview proposing the consolidation?

A:
The Riverview board of directors, in unanimously determining that the consolidation is in the best interests of Riverview, considered a number of key factors which are described under the headings " The Consolidation—Background of the Consolidation " and " The Consolidation—Riverview's Reasons for the Consolidation ," beginning on pages 37 and 41, respectively.

Table of Contents

Q:
Why is Union proposing the consolidation?

A:
The Union board of directors, in unanimously determining that the consolidation is in the best interests of Union, considered a number of key factors which are described under the headings " The Consolidation—Background of the Consolidation " and " The Consolidation—Union's Reasons for the Consolidation ," beginning on pages 37 and 57, respectively.

Q:
What will Union and Riverview shareholders receive in the consolidation?

A:
In the proposed consolidation, Union shareholders will receive 1.95 shares of Newco common stock in exchange for each share of Union common stock they own immediately prior to completion of the consolidation, and Riverview shareholders will receive one share of Newco common stock in exchange for each share of Riverview common stock they own immediately prior to completion of the consolidation. In each case, we refer to the ratio of shares to be exchanged as the "exchange ratio."
Q:
Who will be the directors and executive officers of Newco following the consolidation?

A:
Following the consolidation, Newco's board of directors will consist of 16 directors, made up of five (5) directors designated by Union from its current, non-management board members, subject to Riverview's reasonable approval, and eleven (11) directors designated by Riverview. The current executive officers of Riverview will be the executive officers of Newco following the consolidation.

Q:
When do you expect to complete the consolidation?

A:
We expect to complete the consolidation after all conditions to the consolidation in the consolidation agreement are satisfied or waived, including receipt of shareholder approvals at the special meeting of Riverview and the annual meeting of Union, and receipt of regulatory approvals. We currently expect to complete the consolidation in the third quarter of 2013. It is possible, however, that factors outside of either company's control could result in us completing the consolidation at a later time or not completing the consolidation at all.

Q:
What are the federal income tax consequences of the consolidation?

A:
The consolidation has been structured to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which is referred to as the Internal Revenue Code, and it is a condition to the completion of the consolidation that each of Riverview and Union receive a written opinion from Barley Snyder LLP, counsel to Riverview, to the effect that (i) the consolidation will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; (ii) the holders of Riverview and Union common stock will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of their Riverview or Union common stock for Newco common stock (except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares); (iii) the basis of Newco common stock received by the shareholders of Riverview and Union will be the same as the basis of that party's common stock exchanged therefor; and (iv) the holding period of the shares of Newco common stock received by the shareholders of Riverview and Union will include the holding period of that party's common stock, provided such shares of common stock were held as a capital asset as of the effective time of the consolidation. For further discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the consolidation, see " CERTAIN MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE CONSOLIDATION ," beginning on page 87.

Questions about the Riverview Special Meeting

Q:
What are the matters on which I am being asked to vote at the Riverview special meeting?

A:
You are being asked to consider and vote on the following matters:

1.
Adoption of the consolidation agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus; and

2.
Adjournment of the Riverview special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies.

Q:
How does the Riverview board of directors recommend that I vote my shares?

A:
The Riverview board of directors recommends that the Riverview shareholders vote their shares as follows:

"FOR" adoption of the consolidation agreement; and

"FOR" an adjournment of the Riverview special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies.
Q:
What do I need to do now?

A:
After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, please submit your proxy as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented at Riverview's special meeting. Please follow the instructions set forth on the proxy card or on the voting instruction form provided by the record holder if your shares are held in the name of your broker or other nominee.

Q:
Who is entitled to vote at the Riverview special meeting?

A:
Only Riverview shareholders of record as of the close of business on [    •    ], 2013, which is referred to as the "Riverview record date", are entitled to vote at the special meeting.

Q:
How many votes do I have?

A:
Each outstanding share of Riverview common stock is entitled to one vote.

Q:
How do I vote my Riverview shares?

A:
You may vote your Riverview shares by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card or by voting in person at the Riverview special meeting.

Table of Contents

Q:
Why is my vote important?

A:
Because the consolidation cannot be completed without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares at the Riverview special meeting, and because the presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of Riverview common stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum in order to transact business at the special meeting, every shareholder's vote is important.

Q:
If my shares of Riverview common stock are held in street name by my broker, will my broker automatically vote my shares for me?

A:
No. Your broker CANNOT vote your shares on any proposal at the Riverview special meeting without instructions from you. You should instruct your broker on how to vote your shares, following the directions your broker provides to you. Please check the voting form used by your broker.

Q:
What if I fail to instruct my broker?

A:
If you do not provide your broker with instructions, your broker generally will not be permitted to vote your shares on the consolidation proposal or any other proposal (a so-called "broker non-vote") at the Riverview special meeting. Under Pennsylvania law, broker non-votes will be counted to determine if a quorum is present with respect to any matter to be voted upon by shareholders at the special meeting of shareholders only if such shares have been voted at the special meeting of shareholders on another matter other than a procedural motion. Because the consolidation requires the approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares, broker non-votes, although not counted as cast "for" or "against" any proposal, will effectively act as a vote "against" approval of the consolidation.

Q:
What constitutes a quorum for the Riverview special meeting?

A:
As of the Riverview record date, [    •    ] shares of Riverview common stock were issued and outstanding, each of which will be entitled to one vote at the meeting. Under Riverview's bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the

Table of Contents

Q:
Assuming the presence of a quorum, what is the vote required to approve the matters to be considered at the Riverview special meeting?

A:
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, at the meeting is required to approve the consolidation agreement. On all other matters, approval requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Riverview special meeting. Abstentions are considered for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but are not considered a vote cast under Pennsylvania law. Abstentions and broker non-votes will effectively act as a vote against adoption of the consolidation agreement, but will not affect the outcome of any other matters being voted on at the special meeting.

Q:
Do I have appraisal or dissenters' rights?

A:
Yes. Under Pennsylvania law, Riverview shareholders have the right to dissent from the consolidation agreement and the consolidation and to receive a payment in cash for the "fair value" of their shares of Riverview common stock as determined by an appraisal process. This value may be more or less than the value you would receive in the consolidation if you do not dissent. If you dissent, you will receive a cash payment for the value of your shares that will be fully taxable to you. To perfect your dissenters' rights, you must follow precisely the required statutory procedures. See " The Consolidation—Shareholders Have Dissenters' Rights in the Consolidation ," on page 70 and the information at Annex D .

Q:
Can I attend the Riverview special meeting and vote my shares in person?

A:
Yes. All shareholders, including shareholders of record and those who hold their shares through banks, brokers, nominees or any other holder of record, are invited to attend the special meeting. Holders of record of Riverview common stock can vote in person at the special meeting. If you are not a shareholder of record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the record holder of your shares, such as a broker, bank or other nominee, to be able to vote in person at the special meeting. If you plan to attend the special meeting, you must hold your shares in your own name or have a letter from the record holder of your shares confirming your ownership and you must bring a form of personal photo identification with you in order to be admitted. We reserve the right to refuse admittance to anyone without proper proof of share ownership and without proper photo identification.

Q:
Can I change my vote?

Table of Contents

Q:
How many votes do I have?

A:
Each outstanding share of Union common stock is entitled to one vote.

Q:
How do I vote my Union shares?

A:
You may vote your Union shares by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card or by voting in person at the Union annual meeting.
Q:
Why is my vote important?

A:
Because the consolidation cannot be completed without the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of common stock at the Union annual meeting, and because a majority of the outstanding shares of Union common stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum in order to transact business at the annual meeting, every shareholder's vote is important.

Q:
If my shares of Union common stock are held in street name by my broker, will my broker automatically vote my shares for me?

A:
No. Your broker CANNOT vote your shares on any proposal at the Union annual meeting, other than the proposal to ratify the selection of independent auditors, without instructions from you. You should instruct your broker as to how to vote your shares, following the directions your broker provides to you. Please check the voting form used by your broker.

Q:
What if I fail to instruct my broker?

A:
If you do not provide your broker with instructions, your broker generally will not be permitted to vote your shares on the consolidation proposal or any other proposal (a so-called "broker non-vote") at the Union annual meeting, other than the proposal to ratify the selection of independent auditors. Abstentions are considered for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but are not considered a vote cast under Pennsylvania law. Although broker non-votes will not be counted as votes "for" or "against" any proposal, they will be counted to determine if a quorum is present with respect to any matter to be voted upon by shareholders at the annual meeting only if such shares have been voted at the annual meeting on another matter other than a procedural motion. However, because the consolidation requires the affirmative vote of holders of

Table of Contents

Q:
What constitutes a quorum for the Union annual meeting?

A:
As of the Union record date, [    •    ] shares of Union common stock were issued and outstanding, each of which will be entitled to one vote at the meeting. Under Union's bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the annual meeting. If you vote by proxy, your shares will be included for determining the presence of a quorum. Both abstentions and broker non-votes that are voted on at least one non-procedural item are also included for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Q:
Assuming the presence of a quorum, what is the vote required to approve the matters to be considered at the Union annual meeting?

A:
The affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of Union common stock, in person or by proxy, at the meeting is required to adopt the consolidation agreement. With respect to the election of directors, the two persons receiving the highest number of votes will be elected. With respect to the ratification of the independent auditors, the proposal to adjourn the Union meeting if necessary to solicit additional votes in favor of the proposal to adopt the consolidation agreement, and on any other matter properly presented at the annual meeting, such matters require the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes included for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum will act as a negative vote in the case of all matters being voted on at the meeting except the election of directors, where they will have no effect.

Q:
Do I have appraisal or dissenters' rights?

A:
Yes. Under Pennsylvania law, Union shareholders have the right to dissent from the consolidation agreement and the consolidation and to receive a payment in cash for the "fair value" of their shares of Union common stock as determined by an appraisal process. This value may be more or less than the value you would receive in the consolidation if you do not dissent. If you dissent, you will receive a cash payment for the value of your shares that will be fully taxable to you. To perfect your dissenters' rights, you must follow precisely the required statutory procedures. See " The Consolidation—Shareholders Have Dissenters' Rights in the Consolidation ," on page 70 and the information at Annex D .

Q:
Can I attend the Union annual meeting and vote my shares in person?

A:
Yes. All shareholders, including shareholders of record and those who hold their shares through banks, brokers, nominees or any other holder of record, are invited to attend the annual meeting. Holders of record of Union common stock can vote in person at the annual meeting. If you are not a shareholder of record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the record holder of your shares, such as a broker, bank or other nominee, to be able to vote in person at the annual meeting. If you plan to attend the annual meeting, you must hold your shares in your own name or have a letter from the record holder of your shares confirming your ownership and you must bring a form of personal photo identification with you in order to be admitted. We reserve the right to refuse admittance to anyone without proper proof of share ownership and without proper photo identification.

Expected Material United States Federal Income Tax Treatment as a Result of the Consolidation

        The consolidation has been structured to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which is referred to as the Internal Revenue Code, and it is a condition to the completion of the consolidation that each of Riverview and Union receive a written opinion from Barley, Snyder LLP, counsel to Riverview, to the effect that the consolidation will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and that holders of Riverview and Union common stock will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of their Riverview or Union common stock for Newco common stock pursuant to the consolidation. For further discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the consolidation, see " CERTAIN MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE CONSOLIDATION ," beginning on page 87.

         Holders of Union and Riverview common stock should consult their tax advisors to determine the tax consequences to them, including the application and effect of any state, local or non-U.S. income and other tax laws, of the consolidation.


Accounting Treatment of the Consolidation (page 87)

        The consolidation will be treated as a business combination to be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed of Union will be recorded, as of the date of completion of the consolidation, at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair values of net assets acquired will be recorded as "goodwill". Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill is not amortized, but is assessed annually for impairment with any resulting impairment losses included in net income. If the net assets acquired exceed the purchase price, there will be no goodwill recorded and the resulting difference will be recorded as a bargain purchase gain. The results of operations of the combined entity (Newco) will include the results of Union's operations only after completion of the consolidation. The consolidation will be treated as a "business combination" using the acquisition method of accounting with Riverview treated as the acquiror under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

The Newco board will be divided into three classes, and the particular class in which the Union and Riverview directors will serve shall be mutually agreed by Union and Riverview, with the understanding that designees of each party will be distributed among the classes of directorship of Newco.

Union's Directors and Executive Officers Have Financial Interests in the Consolidation that May Differ from Your Interests (page 73)

        In addition to their interests as Union shareholders, the directors and executive officers of Union may have interests in the consolidation that are different from or in addition to interests of other Union shareholders. These interests include, among others, provisions in the consolidation agreement regarding board membership, as well as employment agreements, indemnification and insurance. For purposes of the employment agreements, the completion of the transactions contemplated by the consolidation agreement will generally constitute a change in control. These additional interests may create potential conflicts of interest and cause some of these persons to view the proposed transaction differently than you may view it as a Union shareholder.

        The financial interests of Union's executive officers and directors in the consolidation include the following:

    the continued indemnification of current directors and officers of Union and its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of the consolidation agreement and providing these individuals with director's and officer's liability insurance;

    the appointment, effective at the completion of the consolidation, of five directors of Union to the board of directors of Newco and Riverview Bank, and the payment of compensation to such individuals in accordance with the policies of Newco, which are anticipated to be the same as Riverview's, which currently consists of the following payments to each of Riverview's non-employee directors: [    •    ];

    an anticipated one time cash payment of $60,000 to Naomi Morrow Ost and each of the current non-employee directors of Union not appointed to Newco's board of directors, in consideration of the execution of a non-compete agreement; and

    the right of each of Union's executive officers to severance benefits upon a termination of their employment following the proposed consolidation (except in certain limited circumstances).

        Union's board of directors was aware of these interests and took them into account in its decision to approve the consolidation agreement. For further discussion concerning the dollar amounts associated with these interests, please see " The Consolidation—Severance Payments and Benefits in Employment Agreements " on page 74.


Holders of Union and Riverview Common Stock Have Dissenters' Rights (page 70)

    Union Shareholders :

    File a written notice of intent to dissent with Union prior to the shareholder vote at the annual meeting of shareholders of Union;

    Make no change in your beneficial ownership of Union common stock after you give notice of your intention to demand fair value of your shares of Union common stock;

    Not vote to adopt the consolidation agreement at the annual meeting;

    File a written demand for payment and deposit any certificates representing the Union shares for which dissenters' rights are being asserted as requested by the notice that will be sent by Riverview or Union after the completion of the consolidation; and

    Comply with certain other statutory procedures set forth in Pennsylvania law.

    Riverview Shareholders :

    File a written notice of intent to dissent with Riverview prior to the shareholder vote at the special meeting of shareholders of Riverview;

    Make no change in your beneficial ownership of Riverview common stock after you give notice of your intention to demand fair value of your shares of Riverview common stock;

    Not vote to adopt the consolidation agreement at the special meeting;

    File a written demand for payment and deposit any certificates representing the Riverview shares for which dissenters' rights are being asserted as requested by the notice that will be sent by Riverview or Union after the completion of the consolidation; and

    Comply with certain other statutory procedures set forth in Pennsylvania law.

If you sign and return your proxy without voting instructions, the proxy holders will vote your proxy in favor of the transaction, and you will lose any dissenters' rights that you may have. A copy of the relevant provisions of Pennsylvania law related to dissenters' rights are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D.


The Rights of Union and Riverview Shareholders Will Be Governed by Pennsylvania Law and the Newco Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws after the Consolidation (page 149)

        The rights of Union and Riverview shareholders will change as a result of the consolidation due to differences in Riverview's and Union's governing documents from the governing documents of Newco. A description of shareholder rights under each of the Riverview and Union governing documents and the Newco governing documents, and the material differences between them, is included in the section entitled " Comparison of Shareholders' Rights " found on page 149.


Conditions That Must Be Satisfied or Waived for the Consolidation to Occur (page 85)

        Currently, we expect to complete the consolidation in the third quarter of 2013. As more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the consolidation agreement, the completion of the consolidation depends on a number of conditions being satisfied or, where legally permissible, waived. These conditions include, among others: approval of the consolidation by the requisite vote of

Table of Contents

the Riverview shareholders and the Union shareholders; the receipt of all required regulatory approvals from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB"), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities ("PDB") for both the consolidation and the bank merger, as applicable; the holders of no more than 12% of the outstanding shares of common stock of each of Riverview and Union exercise dissenters rights; and the receipt of a legal opinion from Barley Snyder LLP, counsel to Riverview, regarding the tax treatment of the consolidation.

        We cannot be certain when, or if, the conditions to the consolidation will be satisfied or waived, or that the consolidation will be completed.


No Solicitation of Other Offers (page 83)

        Union has agreed that it, its subsidiaries, its directors and officers and its representatives and advisors will not, between the date of the consolidation agreement and the date of the annual meeting of Union's shareholders, directly or indirectly:

    Initiate, solicit, induce or encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes, relates or could reasonably be expected to lead to an alternative acquisition proposal;

    Respond to any inquiry relating to an alternative acquisition proposal or an alternative acquisition transaction;

    Recommend or endorse an alternative acquisition transaction;

    Participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish information or data to any person that may relate to an alternative acquisition proposal;

    Release anyone from, waive any provisions of, or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which either Riverview or Union is a respective party; or

    Enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to any alternative acquisition proposal or approve or resolve to approve any alternative acquisition proposal or any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent relating to an alternative acquisition proposal.

        The consolidation agreement does not, however, prohibit Union from taking such actions prior to its shareholders' meeting if its board of directors determines, in good faith, that such discussions or consideration of an alternative acquisition proposal are required for its board of directors to fulfill its fiduciary duties.

        For further discussion of the restrictions on solicitation of acquisition proposals from third parties, see " The Consolidation Agreement—Agreement Not to Solicit Other Offers " beginning on page 83.


Termination of the Consolidation Agreement (page 86)

        We may mutually agree to terminate the consolidation agreement before completing the consolidation, even after shareholder approval has been obtained. In addition, either Riverview or Union may decide to terminate the consolidation agreement, if (i) a governmental entity issues a final order that is not appealable prohibiting the consolidation, (ii) the other party does not hold its shareholder meeting, for purposes of seeking approval of the consolidation, on or before December 1, 2013, (iii) the shareholders of Riverview or Union fail to approve the consolidation at their respective shareholder meetings, or (iv) the other party breaches the consolidation agreement in a way that would entitle the party seeking to terminate the agreement not to consummate the consolidation, subject to the right of the breaching party to cure the breach within 30 days following written notice. Either of us

Table of Contents

may terminate the consolidation agreement if the consolidation has not been completed by December 31, 2013, unless the reason the consolidation has not been completed by that date is a breach of the consolidation agreement by the company seeking to terminate the consolidation agreement.

        Riverview may terminate the consolidation agreement if the Union board of directors, in connection with the receipt of an alternative acquisition proposal, (1) enters into an acquisition agreement with respect to the alternative acquisition proposal, (2) terminates the consolidation agreement, (3) fails to make, withdraws, modifies or qualifies its recommendation of the consolidation agreement in a manner adverse to Riverview, or (4) delivers a written notice to Riverview of its determination to accept the alternative acquisition proposal.

        Union may terminate the consolidation agreement if Union receives an alternative acquisition proposal and delivers a written notice to Riverview of its determination to accept the alternative acquisition proposal.


Termination Fee (page 86)

        Union will pay Riverview a termination fee of $600,000 in the event that the consolidation agreement is terminated:

    By Riverview because Union's shareholders fail to approve the consolidation at the annual meeting of Union and, prior thereto, there has been a publicly proposed or announced alternative acquisition proposal for Union that is agreed to or consummated within 12 months following termination; or

    By Riverview because Union has received an alternative acquisition proposal, and Union (1) enters into an acquisition agreement with respect to the alternative acquisition proposal, (2) terminates the consolidation agreement, (3) fails to make, withdraws, modifies or qualifies its recommendation of the consolidation agreement in a manner adverse to Riverview, or (4) delivers a written notice to Riverview of its determination to accept the alternative acquisition proposal; or

    By Union, if Union receives an alternative acquisition proposal and delivers a written notice to Riverview of its determination to accept the alternative acquisition proposal in compliance with all requirements of the consolidation agreement.

        Each party will pay the other a termination fee of $350,000 if the agreement is terminated due to a material breach by the other party which remains uncured after 30 days notice.


Regulatory Approvals Required for the Consolidation and the Bank Merger (page 72)

        The consolidation is subject to certain regulatory approvals, including approval of the FRB, FDIC and PDB. The bank merger is subject to certain regulatory approvals, including the approval of the FDIC and PDB.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet and income statement for December 31, 2012 illustrate the effect of the proposed consolidation. As required by FASB ASC Topic 805-Business combinations, we have used the acquisition method of accounting and adjusted the acquired assets and liabilities of Union to fair value as of the balance sheet date. Under this method, we will record Union assets and liabilities as of the date of the acquisition at their respective fair values and add them to those of Riverview. We will record in goodwill any difference between the purchase price for Union and the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired (including core deposit intangibles). We will not expense the amortization of the goodwill that results from the acquisition, if any, but will review it for impairment at least annually. To the extent there is an impairment of the goodwill, we will expense the impairment. We will amortize to expense core deposit and other intangibles with definite useful lives that we record in conjunction with the consolidation. Financial statements that Riverview issues after the acquisition will reflect the results attributable to the acquired operations of Union beginning on the date of completion of the consolidation.

        In connection with the consolidation, Riverview and Union are currently working to further develop their preliminary plans to consolidate their operations. During the next several months, we expect to refine the specific details. We are currently in the process of assessing the two companies' personnel, benefit plans, premises, equipment, computer systems and service contracts to determine where we may take advantage of redundancies. We will record cost associated with such decisions and any other consolidation related costs as incurred and have not included them in the pro forma adjustments to the pro forma consolidated statements of income.

        The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information assumes that each share of Union common stock will be exchanged for 1.95 shares of "Newco", and each share of Riverview common stock will be exchanged for 1.0 share of "Newco", and further assumes a Newco common stock price of $12.58, reflecting estimated pro forma combined tangible book value at December 31, 2012. Utilizing the exchange ratio of 1.95 to 1.0 for Union, and 1.0 to 1.0 for Riverview, it is anticipated that Union common shareholders will own approximately 36.5% of the voting stock, and Riverview common shareholders will own approximately 63.5%, of the combined company after the consolidation.

        The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information is based upon the assumption that the total number of shares of Union common stock will be 506,513 and the total number of shares of Riverview common stock will be 1,716,316 immediately prior to the completion of the consolidation, and utilizes the Union exchange ratio of 1.95, which will result in 987,700 Newco common shares being issued in the transaction for Union shareholders, and utilizes the Riverview exchange ratio of 1.0, which will result in 1,716,316 Newco common shares being issued in the transaction for Riverview shareholders, resulting in 2,704,016 total Newco shares being issued in the transaction. Upon completion of the consolidation, all outstanding Riverview options will convert into options to purchase Newco common stock with no change to the number of shares subject to the option or the exercise price.

        The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012 combine the historical consolidated financial statements of Riverview and Union. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements give effect to the proposed consolidation as if the consolidation occurred on December 31, 2012.

        The notes to the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements describe the pro forma amounts and adjustments presented below. THIS PRO FORMA DATA IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF THE OPERATING RESULTS THAT RIVERVIEW WOULD HAVE ACHIEVED HAD IT COMPLETED THE CONSOLIDATION AS OF THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD PRESENTED AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS REPRESENTATIVE OF FUTURE OPERATIONS.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)
For purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements, consolidation costs for both Riverview and Union are not included in the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statement of income. The consolidation costs related to Riverview and Union, respectively, associated with the acquisition will be recorded as expense as incurred for GAAP reporting. Pretax direct transaction costs totaling $1.755 million which have not been expensed to date are included in the pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as an adjustment of equity.

(2)
Fair value adjustment to equity investment security held for sale.

(3)
Loans receivable adjustments include: (a) a fair value premium of $897,000 to reflect fair values of loans based on current interest rates of similar loans. The adjustment will be substantially recognized over approximately 7 years using an amortization method based upon the expected life of the loans and is expected to decrease pro forma pre-tax interest income by $184,000 in the first year following consummation of the consolidation, and (b) a fair value discount of $2.329 million to reflect the credit risk of the loan portfolio.

(4)
Reversal of the Union allowance for loan losses of $1.182 million in accordance with acquisition method of accounting for the consolidation. No pro forma earnings impact was assumed from the loan credit adjustments in the first year following consummation of the consolidation.

(5)
Adjustment to record a core deposit intangible to reflect the fair value of and the related amortization using an accelerated method based upon an expected life of 12 years. The amortization of the core deposit intangible is expected to increase pro forma pre-tax noninterest expense by $109,000 in the first year following consummation.

(6)
A fair value premium of $392,000 to reflect the fair value of certain interest-bearing time deposit liabilities based on current interest rates for similar instruments. The adjustment will be recognized using an amortization method based upon the estimated maturities of the deposit liabilities. The adjustment is expected to decrease pro forma pre-tax interest expense by $127,000 in the first year following consummation.

(7)
Adjustment of $614,000 to reflect the increase in fair value for premises and equipment. We have presented the amortization of the fair value adjustment over a 30 year period. We expect this adjustment to increase pro forma occupancy and equipment expense by $21,000 in the first year of consummation.

(8)
Riverview will determine the final allocation of the purchase price after we have completed additional analysis to determine the fair values of Union tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the date of consolidation. Changes in the fair value of the net assets of Union as of the date of the consolidation will likely change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. The further refinement of transaction costs, changes in Union's shareholders' equity including net income between December 31, 2012 and the date of the consolidation will likely change the amount of goodwill recorded. The final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein. Riverview has prepared the pro forma financial information to include the estimated adjustments necessary to record the assets and liabilities of Union at their respective fair values and represents management's best estimate based upon the information available at this time. The pro forma adjustments included herein are subject to change as additional information becomes available as we perform additional analysis. Furthermore, Riverview will determine the final allocation of the acquisition price after completion of consolidation. The final acquisition accounting adjustments may be materially different from the pro forma adjustment presented herein. Increases or decreases in the fair value of certain balance sheet amounts including loans, securities, deposits and related intangibles and debt will result in adjustments to the balance sheet and statement of operations. Such adjustments, when compared to the information shown in this document, may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill while changes to other assets and liabilities may impact the statement of income due to adjustments in the yield and/or amortization/accretion of the adjusted assets and liabilities.

(9)
Adjustment to reflect the net deferred tax at a rate of 34% related to fair value adjustments on the balance sheet and a statutory tax rate of 34% for book tax expense. We have not taken a tax benefit for certain merger obligations and cost that we do not consider tax deductible. Deferred tax assets of Union for Director's deferred compensation; Other-than temporary impairment; Non-accrual loan interest; low income housing credit carryforward; net operating loss carryforward; and AMT credit carryforward were recognized based on management's assessment that it was more likely than not that these items would be realized. Riverview's annual taxable income has historically averaged approximately $1,120,000 over the past four years. Based on Riverview's historical trend of taxable income, the years that NOL and low income housing credits would be available and consideration of limitations that would be placed on these carryforwards by IRC sections 382 and 38, management has estimated that it is more likely than not that these specific items would be realized in 5 to 7 years. Deferred tax assets of Union for Charitable contribution and Capital loss limitation carryforwards have not been recognized based on management's assessment that it is more likely than not that they would not be realized.

(10)
Includes an unfunded liability fair value adjustment of $842,000 for a discontinued Union defined benefit pension plan.

(11)
Adjustment to eliminate Union's historical shareholders' equity.

(12)
Adjustment to reflect Newco common stock expected to be issued in exchange for issued and outstanding shares of Union and Riverview.

RISK FACTORS

         In considering whether to vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the consolidation agreement, you should consider all of the information included in this document and its annexes and all of the information included in the documents we have incorporated by reference. In particular, you should consider the following risk factors.

Shares of Newco common stock will lack a significant trading market.

        Shares of Newco common stock will not be traded on any national securities exchange and therefore its common stock will be highly illiquid. We do not currently intend to apply for listing of Newco common stock on an exchange. There is no assurance that an active trading market in Newco's common stock will develop or, if such a market develops, that it will be sustained. As a result, a shareholder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, the common stock, or to obtain coverage for significant news events concerning Newco, and the common stock may not be suitable for margin loans, for investment by financial institutions, as consideration in future acquisition transactions or other purposes.

The market price of Newco common stock after the consolidation may be affected by factors different from those affecting the shares of Riverview or Union currently.

        The markets of Riverview and Union differ and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the market price of the combined company's shares of common stock after the consolidation may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations and market prices of Riverview and Union. For a discussion of the business and markets of Riverview and Union, see " Information About Riverview Financial Corporation " beginning on page 97 and " Information About Union Bancorp, Inc. " beginning on page 134.

Shareholders of both Riverview and Union will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the consolidation and will exercise less influence over management.

        When the consolidation occurs, each Union shareholder and Riverview shareholder that receives shares of Newco common stock will become a shareholder of Newco. As a result, the percentage ownership of every shareholder in the combined organization will be smaller than the shareholder's percentage ownership of Riverview or Union, respectively. Upon completion of the consolidation, current Union shareholders will own approximately 36.5% of the outstanding shares of Newco common stock, and current Riverview shareholders will own approximately 63.5%.

The exchange ratios for the conversion of Riverview stock and Union stock into Newco stock will not be adjusted in the event that the price of Riverview common stock declines before the consolidation is completed. As a result, the value of the shares of Newco common stock at the time the Riverview and Union shareholders receive them could be less than the equivalent value (taking into consideration the applicable exchange ratio) of those shares today and on the date of the respective shareholder meetings.

        In the consolidation, shareholders of Riverview and Union will be entitled to shares of Newco common stock based on the exchange ratios of 1.00 and 1.95, respectively. The exchange ratios will not be adjusted as a result of any change in the market price of Riverview common stock between the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the date Riverview and Union shareholders receive shares of Newco common stock in exchange for their shares. The market price of Riverview common stock will likely be different, and may be lower, on the date shareholders receive their shares of Newco common stock than the market price of Riverview common stock on the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Differences in the market price of Riverview common stock may be the result of changes in the business, operations or prospects of Riverview, market reactions to the proposed

30


Table of Contents

consolidation, regulatory considerations, general market and economic conditions or other factors. If the market price of Riverview common stock declines after Riverview and Union shareholders vote, the value of the consolidation consideration shareholders will be receiving will be less than the value of such consideration at the time of the vote.

Future issuances of Newco equity securities could dilute shareholder ownership and voting interest.

        Newco's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to five million shares of common stock and three million shares of preferred stock. Any future issuance of equity securities by Newco may result in dilution in the percentage ownership and voting interest of Newco shareholders. Also, any securities Newco sells in the future may be valued differently and the issuance of equity securities for future services, acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by Newco shareholders. As noted below, under " Comparison of Shareholders' Rights ", Newco shareholders will not have any preemptive rights to acquire additional shares in the event of future issuances.

There is no assurance that Newco will continue paying dividends at the current rate of Riverview.

        Riverview's board of directors has adopted a current dividend practice for the payment of a quarterly cash dividend. Riverview paid an annual dividend of $0.545 per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2012. This practice can be changed at any time at the discretion of Newco's board of directors, and Newco's common stockholders will have no contractual or other legal right to dividends. In addition, the other risk factors described in this section could materially reduce the cash available from operations and these outcomes could cause capital not to be available when needed in an amount sufficient to support Newco's dividend practice. The amount of dividends that Newco may distribute will also be subject to restrictions under Pennsylvania law and applicable bank regulatory provisions. If Newco's board of directors were to adopt a change to Riverview's current dividend practice that resulted in a reduction in the amount of dividends, such change could have a material and adverse effect on the market price of Newco's common stock.

The unaudited pro forma financial data included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is preliminary, and Newco's actual financial position and results of operations after the consolidation may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial data included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

        The unaudited pro forma financial data in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company's actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the consolidation been completed on the dates indicated. The pro forma financial data reflect adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to record identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value and the resulting goodwill recognized. The purchase price allocation reflected in this document is preliminary, and final allocation of the purchase price will be based upon the actual purchase price and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of as of the date of the completion of the consolidation. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments may differ materially from the pro forma adjustments reflected in this document.

The consolidation agreement limits Union's ability to pursue alternatives to the consolidation and, in certain circumstances, requires the payment of a termination fee.

        The consolidation agreement contains "no shop" provisions that, subject to specified exceptions, limit Union's ability to discuss, facilitate or commit to competing third-party proposals to acquire all or a significant part of Union. In addition, a termination fee is payable by Union under certain circumstances, generally involving the consummation of an alternative transaction. These provisions might discourage a potential competing acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a

31


Table of Contents

significant part of Union from considering or proposing that acquisition even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share value than that proposed in the consolidation, or might result in a potential competing acquiror proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire Union than it might otherwise have proposed to pay. Moreover, under specified circumstances, Union could be required to pay Riverview a termination fee in connection with the termination of the consolidation agreement due to an alternate transaction. See " The Consolidation Agreement-Termination Fee ."

The consolidation is subject to the receipt of consents and approvals from governmental and regulatory entities that may impose conditions that could delay or have an adverse effect on Newco.

        Before the consolidation and the bank mergers may be completed, various waivers, approvals or consents must be obtained from the FRB, FDIC and PDB. Riverview and Union have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to complete these filings and obtain these waivers, approvals and consents; however, satisfying any requirements of regulatory agencies may delay the date of completion of the consolidation or such approval may not be obtained at all. In addition, these governmental entities may impose conditions on the completion of the consolidation or require changes to the terms of the consolidation that could have the effect of delaying completion of the consolidation or imposing additional costs on, or limiting the revenues of, Newco following the consolidation, any of which might have an adverse effect on Newco following the consolidation. We cannot assure you as to whether these regulatory waivers, approvals and consents will be received, the timing of such or whether any conditions will be imposed.

Union executive officers and directors have financial interests in the consolidation that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Union shareholders.

        Executive officers of Riverview and Union negotiated the terms of the consolidation agreement with their counterparts at the other institution. Riverview's and Union's board of directors approved and adopted the consolidation agreement and unanimously recommended that Riverview and Union shareholders vote to adopt the consolidation agreement. In considering these facts and the other information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, you should be aware that Union's officers and directors have financial interests in the consolidation that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Union shareholders. These include:

        These additional interests of Union directors and executive officers may create potential conflicts of interest and cause some of these persons to view the proposed transaction differently than a Riverview or Union shareholder may view it.

        Riverview's and Union's boards of directors were aware of these interests and took them into account in their decision to adopt the consolidation agreement. For information concerning these interests, please see the discussion under the caption " The Consolidation—Union's Directors and Executive Officers Have Financial Interests in the Consolidation ."

32


Table of Contents

The shares of Newco common stock to be received by Riverview and Union shareholders as a result of the consolidation will have different rights from the shares of Riverview and Union common stock.

        Upon completion of the consolidation, Riverview and Union shareholders will become Newco shareholders. Their rights as shareholders will be governed by Pennsylvania corporate law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Newco. The rights associated with Union and Riverview common stock are different from the rights associated with Newco common stock.

        See the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus titled " Comparison of Shareholders' Rights " beginning on page 149 for a discussion of the different rights associated with ownership of Newco common stock.

If the consolidation is not consummated by December 31, 2013, either Riverview or Union may choose not to proceed with the consolidation.

        Either Riverview or Union may terminate the consolidation agreement if the consolidation has not been completed by December 31, 2013, unless the failure of the consolidation to be completed by such date has resulted from the failure of the party seeking to terminate the consolidation agreement to perform its obligations.

The fairness opinions obtained by Riverview and Union from their respective financial advisors will not reflect changes in circumstances subsequent to the date of the consolidation agreement.

        Each of Riverview and Union obtained a fairness opinion from its financial advisor as of March 7, 2013. Neither Riverview nor Union has obtained or is required to obtain an updated opinion as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus from its respective financial advisor. Changes in the operations and prospects of Riverview or Union, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of Riverview and Union, and on which the fairness opinions were based, may alter the value of Riverview or Union or the price of shares of Riverview common stock or Union common stock by the time the consolidation is completed. The opinions do not speak to the time the consolidation will be completed or to any other date other than the date of such opinions. As a result, the opinions will not address the fairness of the exchange ratio, from a financial point of view, at the time the consolidation is completed. For a description of the opinions that Riverview and Union received from their financial advisors, please see " The Consolidation—Opinion of Riverview's Financial Advisor " and " The Consolidation—Opinion of Union's Financial Advisor " beginning on pages 44 and 61, respectively, of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the consolidation.

        The success of the consolidation will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from combining the businesses of Riverview and Union. However, to realize these anticipated benefits and cost savings, we must successfully combine the businesses of Riverview and Union. If we are not able to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the consolidation may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Riverview and Union have operated and, until the completion of the consolidation, will continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company's ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the consolidation. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on Riverview and/or Union during the transition period.

If the consolidation is not completed, Riverview and Union will have incurred substantial expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the consolidation.

        Riverview and Union have incurred substantial expenses in connection with the consolidation described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The completion of the consolidation depends on the satisfaction of specified conditions and the receipt of regulatory approvals. If the consolidation is not completed, these expenses would have been expended or would be recognized currently and not capitalized, and Riverview and Union would not have realized the expected benefits of the consolidation.

The management teams of Riverview and Union may be required to dedicate significant time and effort to the integration of the two companies which could divert their attention from other business concerns.

        It is possible that the integration process could result in the diversion of the attention of the management teams of Riverview and Newco, the disruption or interruption of, or the loss of momentum in, the ongoing businesses of Riverview and Union or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect Newco's ability to maintain relationships with its customers and employees or Newco's ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the consolidation, or could reduce the earnings or otherwise adversely affect Newco's business and financial results.

Each of Riverview and Union will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the consolidation is pending.

        Uncertainty about the effect of the consolidation on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on each of the parties to the consolidation agreement. These uncertainties may impair Riverview's and/or Union's ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the consolidation is consummated, and could cause customers and others that deal with each of Riverview and Union to seek to change existing business relationships with them. Retention of certain Union employees may be challenging during the pendency of the consolidation, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with Newco. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to continue with Newco, Newco's business following the consolidation could be harmed. In addition, the consolidation agreement restricts each of Riverview and Union from taking specified actions until the consolidation occurs without the consent of the other. These restrictions may prevent Riverview and/or Union from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the consolidation. Please see the section entitled " The Consolidation Agreement—Covenants and Agreements " beginning on page 79 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus for a description of the restrictive covenants to which Riverview and Union are subject under the consolidation agreement.

Riverview and Union expect to incur non-recurring expenses related to the consolidation.

        Riverview and Union are developing a plan to integrate the operations of Riverview and Union after the consolidation. In connection with that plan, Riverview and Union anticipate that certain non-recurring charges, such as branding, severance and computer system conversion costs, will be incurred in connection with this integration. Riverview and Union cannot identify the timing, nature and amount of all such charges as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. However, any such charge could affect the parties' respective results of operations in the period in which such charges are recorded.

Future governmental regulation and legislation, including the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III, could limit the combined company's future growth.

        Following the consolidation, Newco and its subsidiaries will be subject to extensive state and federal regulation, supervision and legislation that govern almost all aspects of the operations of Newco. These laws may change from time to time and are primarily intended for the protection of consumers, depositors and the deposit insurance fund. Any changes to these laws may negatively affect Newco's ability to expand its services and to increase the value of its business. Additionally, Basel III and a number of provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, remain to be implemented through the rulemaking process at various regulatory agencies. Certain aspects of the new regulations, including, without limitation, higher minimum capital levels, the higher cost of deposit insurance and the costs of compliance with disclosure and reporting requirements that may be issued by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, could have a significant adverse impact on the combined company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Compliance with Basel III and the Dodd-Frank Act may require us to make changes to our business and operations and will likely result in additional costs and a diversion of management's time from other business activities, any of which may adversely impact our results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. While we cannot predict what effect any presently contemplated or future changes in the laws or regulations or their interpretations would have on Newco, these changes could be materially adverse to Newco's shareholders.

Newco does not expect to remain a "reporting company" for any significant period of time after the consolidation; as a result, less information about Newco's operations and financial condition will be publicly available.

        Following the consolidation, Newco may be required to file annual and quarterly reports and other information with the SEC for a relatively short period of time pursuant to the Exchange Act. However, as a result of the fact that Newco will have less than 2,000 shareholders of record, as permitted by the Exchange Act, Newco intends to elect to suspend its obligation to continue to file such reports and information as soon as is permitted under the Exchange Act. As a result of this election, information regarding Newco's operations and financial results and condition that would otherwise be available to shareholders and the general public will not be readily available. Shareholders seeking information about Newco will have to contact Newco directly to request such information, and Newco may elect not to provide information that it is not required by law to provide.

Following the consummation of the consolidation, investors in the combined company will own an institution with different financial and other characteristics than either Riverview or Union on a standalone basis.

        Following the consummation of the consolidation, current shareholders of Riverview and Union will become shareholders in a combined company that will have different financial and other characteristics than either company had on a standalone basis. For example, the consolidation will result in a combined company with higher dollar amounts of total assets, risk-based assets and non-performing assets, including non-performing loans and other real estate owned, from the amounts historically experienced by Riverview or Union. If we are unable to successfully combine the businesses of Riverview and Union, our future earnings may be adversely affected, which in turn could adversely impact the amount of capital of the combined company. The consolidation transaction will also initially result in lower amounts of book value per common share and tangible book value per common share for both Riverview and Union shareholders as set forth in the comparative per share data on page 29, and there can be no assurance that any such book value dilution will be earned back through earnings following completion of the consolidation.

THE CONSOLIDATION

Background of the Consolidation

Riverview

        The board of directors and executive management of Riverview periodically review and evaluate Riverview's business plan and strategic alternatives in the context of Riverview's financial performance and the economic and regulatory environment for community banking and financial service companies in the geographic markets it serves. Since Riverview's formation in 2008, enhanced operating efficiencies derived from larger economies of scale became a constant strategic objective to improve shareholder value. In recent years, Riverview's strategic planning has expanded in scope to include the impact of the Dodd Frank Act and the anticipated effects of additional regulation and oversight on revenue, expense and capital for community banks and their prospects to effectively access the capital markets to grow Riverview while meeting increased regulatory requirements.

        In the fall of 2010, Riverview's executive management and board of directors continued to evaluate strategic options. The evaluation process led Riverview to embrace organic growth as the primary driver for the institution while recognizing the value of potential mergers in the business plan as a secondary initiative. Ongoing challenges of the current economic and regulatory environment demanded growth as Riverview believed that greater size and scale would be required to compete more effectively to deliver appropriate shareholder returns and provide increased liquidity in Riverview's stock at some point for investors. In 2010, Riverview consulted, without consideration, with David Danielson of Danielson Associates, LLC, now with Ambassador Financial Group, Inc. (Ambassador) to assist in the identification of potential consolidation partners. The banks selected were called upon by Riverview management throughout 2010-2012. No transaction materialized from those discussions.

        In June 2012, Riverview contacted the Chairman of the Board of Union to request a meeting to explore the possibility of a transaction between the two companies. Union's Chairman informed Riverview that Union had retained Keefe, Bruyette and Woods (KBW) to represent Union and that all communication must be directed through the investment banking firm.

        On July 11, 2012, at a special meeting of the board of directors, in anticipation of Riverview being included in the bidding process being established by KBW for Union, Ambassador presented an opportunity analysis detailing the feasibility of a transaction between Riverview and Union by outlining the national mergers and acquisitions environment and providing deal specific pro-forma financial projections and market-share data. Based upon the presentation, Riverview's board of directors authorized management to participate in the Union bidding process.

        On September 27, 2012, a representative of KBW participated in a seminar sponsored by the Pennsylvania Bankers Association. In an effort to ensure Riverview's inclusion in the dissemination of Union materials by KBW, Riverview met with the KBW representative over lunch to introduce its management team, history and current financial condition. During that meeting, the KBW representative was invited to Riverview's annual strategic planning meeting.

        On October 17, 2012, the KBW representative, without consideration, attended the Riverview strategic planning meeting. At that meeting, Riverview management presented a detailed overview of its financial condition, financial performance, management team and operational systems.

        On November 9, 2012, Riverview was invited to participate in the Union bidding process by KBW, and Riverview entered into a confidentiality agreement with KBW in order to obtain Union's offering book.

        On November 12, 2012, Riverview formally engaged Ambassador as its advisor to assist in the evaluation, due diligence and bidding process for Union. From November 12 through February 12, 2013, there were numerous conference calls between Riverview and Ambassador to discuss the deal.

Table of Contents

        On December 3, 2012, at a special meeting of the board, Ambassador and executive management presented a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed transaction between Riverview and Union. Based upon that information, the board directed executive management and Ambassador to express continued interest in the deal and authorized the issuance of a non-binding term sheet to Union, subject to the review by Riverview's executive committee. The term sheet was reviewed and approved by executive committee, and issued by the end of that same day.

        On December 7, 2012, KBW notified Riverview of its selection as one of three banks invited to complete further due diligence on Union. From December 7, 2012 through February 9, 2013, Riverview and its legal counsel completed on-site and off-site due diligence on Union. During that time, Riverview and its advisors had multiple conversations with KBW, Union management and Union's legal counsel.

        On January 31, 2013, Riverview management met with the FDIC and PDB in their Harrisburg Pennsylvania office to review the bank's most recent risk and compliance exams, pro-forma financial statements, capital level projections and Riverview's capacity to manage execution risk related to the proposed consolidation.

        On February 7, 2013, Riverview submitted a revised, non-binding term sheet to Union.

        On February 11, 2013, Riverview and Ambassador made a formal presentation to the Union board, highlighting Riverview's corporate philosophy, culture and future plans. Corporate structure, shareholder value, executive roles, social issues and the resulting improvement in financial condition of the combined banks were discussed. On February 12, 2013, Riverview was notified by Union that Union would proceed to exclusively negotiate a transaction with Riverview, and the parties entered into an exclusivity agreement.

        On March 7, 2013, Riverview's board of directors held a special meeting to review and consider the terms of a proposed consolidation agreement. At this meeting, representatives of Ambassador reviewed in detail the financial terms of the transaction, and a representative of Barley Snyder LLP, Riverview's legal counsel, reviewed the provisions of the consolidation agreement. At this meeting, Ambassador provided its written fairness opinion that the Riverview and Union exchange ratios set forth in the consolidation agreement were fair to Riverview from a financial point of view. A representative of Barley Snyder then reviewed with the Riverview board of directors its fiduciary duties under Pennsylvania law in approving the transaction. After careful consideration of these presentations and further discussion, the Riverview board of directors unanimously approved the consolidation agreement and agreed to recommend that Riverview's shareholders approve the consolidation agreement, the consolidation, and the related transactions provided for in the consolidation agreement.

        On March 7, 2013 the parties executed the consolidation agreement and issued a joint press release announcing the transaction.

Union

        Union's board of directors and senior management team regularly review Union's strategic goals, business plan and financial performance to evaluate strategic alternatives, make appropriate revisions, monitor performance and identify new opportunities for enhancing shareholder value. In furtherance of this objective, Union's board of directors, with input from senior management, regularly revisits and refines its long-term and short-term strategic plan. In developing its strategic plan, Union's primary goals are to maximize shareholder value, provide Union employees with a challenging and rewarding work environment, be the financial services provider of choice for customers and prospective customers in the markets it serves, and act as a responsible corporate citizen through active involvement in the communities in which it operates.

        In April of 2012, senior management and the board of directors of Union reviewed Union's strategic plan and discussed the opportunities and threats facing Union and the banking industry as a whole. The discussion included consideration of Union's perceived strengths and weaknesses in its market. Over the last several years, the Union board of directors has become increasingly aware of the adverse impact of new and proposed regulations on the earnings and growth of small community banks such as Union, particularly anticipated adverse impacts related to the Dodd-Frank Act, the continued evolution of Union's customer base towards more electronic-based banking products and the security concerns and capital expenditures necessary to offer those products, the likelihood that banks of all sizes will be required to maintain higher levels of capital in the future, on-going challenges for growth posed by a sluggish economy and the adverse impact of the protracted low-interest rate environment on the profit margins of Union. These risks to Union, along with other factors unique to Union, including the inability to pay its shareholders a dividend since 2009, its frozen defined benefit plan, not providing a company match on employee contributions to the 401(k) retirement plan since 2009, rising expenses due to legal matters and loan workouts and the cost of capital improvements necessary to maintain Union's existing branch network and information technology systems, led the Union board of directors and senior management team to re-evaluate the strategic alternatives available to the organization.

        On May 4, 2012, senior management presented to the Union board an assessment of Union's financial condition and future prospects, regulatory environment and means for enhancing shareholder value. Multiple strategic alternatives were presented to the board of directors for consideration, including remaining independent and attempting to grow the bank organically, downsizing and re-structuring the organization to improve earnings through cost-saving initiatives such as branch sales or closures, raising additional capital to support additional loan growth or new lines of business and combining with a strategic partner. After considering all of its options, the Union board of directors decided it was in the best interests of Union to explore the possibility of a business combination and identify potential strategic partners.

        On June 1, 2012, the Union board of directors agreed to engage an investment banking firm to represent Union and explore a potential transaction. Multiple investment banking firms were presented to the board for its consideration. The Union board of directors decided to interview four firms and select the firm that appeared to best understand Union's goals and objectives and that had a proven record of success in mergers and acquisitions.

        From June 4, 2012 through June 14, 2012, members of Union's board of directors and senior management team conducted interviews with four investment banking firms ranging in size and scope.

        On June 15, 2012, the Union board of directors unanimously approved the engagement of Keefe, Bruyette and Woods, Inc., or KBW, as its investment bankers and financial advisors. KBW was notified of the board's decision the same day. The board of directors also unanimously approved the engagement of the law firm of Rhoads & Sinon LLP, or R&S, to act as Union's legal advisors during the search process and in any resultant transaction.

        From June 18, 2012 through August 5, 2012, members of senior management and the board of directors of Union held several meetings and numerous phone conversations with representatives of KBW. During this time, representatives of KBW performed due diligence on Union as a prerequisite for accepting the engagement, and Union and KBW discussed the likelihood of identifying an acceptable strategic partner.

        On August 6, 2012, Union and KBW executed a formal engagement letter pursuant to which Union engaged KBW to provide financial advisory and investment banking services and move forward in its search for a strategic partner.

        On August 15, 2012, Union's senior management team held a conference call with representatives of KBW to discuss the preparation of the confidential information memorandum, or CIM, that would be distributed to potential business combination partners.

        From August 16, 2012 to October 3, 2012, the board of directors and senior management team of Union held numerous meetings and phone calls related to the completion of the CIM.

        On October 4, 2012, Union's senior management team met with representatives of KBW to review the draft of the CIM.

        From October 5, 2012 through November 1, 2012, the board of directors and senior management of Union held frequent discussions with representatives of KBW to finalize the CIM.

        During the November 2, 2012 regular meeting of the board of directors, representatives of KBW conducted a presentation including an overview of the current merger and acquisition environment; a review of mid-Atlantic and Pennsylvania bank mergers and acquisitions announced in 2011 and 2012, including transaction values and multiples, a list of potential partners for Union representing a range of asset sizes and pro forma branch maps assuming a combination with each of the identified potential partners. Among other things, the Union board discussed the liquidity, capital levels, operating philosophies and profitability of each prospective partner.

        On November 5, 2012, KBW, with the approval of Union's board, began soliciting interest and making contact with twenty-three possible business combination partners. The twenty-three institutions selected were intended to represent an appropriate sampling to best determine the level of interest in Union. The board of directors and KBW strongly believed it was in the best interests of Union and its shareholders to contact multiple potential partners rather than a select few in order to be reasonably certain potential opportunities were not missed. During this time, seven parties requested and, upon execution of a confidentiality agreement, received a CIM. Of those seven institutions, six conducted due diligence on Union via an online data room. Each of the interested institutions was given a deadline of December 5, 2012 to provide initial non-binding indications of interest.

        On December 5, 2012, KBW informed Union that it had received three initial non-binding indications of interest.

        On December 7, 2012, Union held a special meeting of the board of directors, at which representatives of KBW and R&S met to review each of the indications of interest received by KBW. Representatives of R&S reviewed with the Union board of directors their fiduciary duties under Pennsylvania law in connection with a proposed transaction. After considering each proposal, the board of directors of Union instructed KBW to invite all three interested institutions to conduct on-site due diligence.

        On December 7, 2012, KBW notified all three parties that they were invited to conduct on-site due diligence of Union.

        During the month of January, 2013, two of the three parties met with senior management of Union and conducted on-site diligence. On January 16, 2013, KBW informed Union that the third institution had determined not to proceed with on-site due diligence for reasons unrelated to Union.

        On February 7, 2013, KBW informed Union that it had received two revised non-binding indications of interest.

        On February 11, 2013, Union held a special meeting of its board of directors to review the revised indications of interest with KBW and R&S. Senior management of both parties were invited to review, separately, their indications of interest with the board of directors and to allow for a period of questions and answers. Representatives from both organizations discussed their indications of interest, provided the Union board of directors with their vision for the proposed combined company and

answered questions from the board. R&S again reviewed with the Union board of directors their fiduciary duties under Pennsylvania law in connection with a proposed transaction. After further discussion with representatives of KBW and R&S, the board of directors unanimously concluded that Riverview's proposal was superior and in the best interests of Union. The Union board unanimously approved the selection of Riverview as its strategic partner and directed KBW and R&S to begin the process of negotiating a definitive agreement.

        On February 15, 2013, at the request of Riverview, Union and Riverview executed a thirty-day exclusivity agreement to negotiate a definitive agreement acceptable to both organizations.

        On February 21, 2013 and February 22, 2013, representatives of Union's senior management, along with representatives of KBW and R&S, conducted on-site reverse due diligence of Riverview. The reverse due diligence efforts included a review and analysis of, among other things, Riverview's loan portfolio, corporate structure, investment holdings, product offerings, policies and procedures, pending legal matters and financial information. Senior management, after consulting with KBW and R&S, determined due diligence findings were satisfactory.

        From February 11, 2013 to March 6, 2013, KBW and R&S, in consultation with the board of directors and senior management of Union, negotiated the terms of the definitive agreement.

        On March 7, 2013, Union held a special meeting of its board of directors. Representatives of R&S reviewed with the Union board the terms and conditions of the proposed definitive agreement and again reminded the directors of their fiduciary duties under Pennsylvania law. Also at this meeting, representatives of KBW reviewed the financial terms of the transaction with the Union board. KBW then provided the board of directors with a written fairness opinion stating the exchange ratio expressed in the agreement was fair to Union's shareholders from a financial point of view. After a comprehensive review of the agreement and further discussion with its legal and financial advisors, the Union board of directors unanimously approved the consolidation agreement and recommended that Union's shareholders approve and adopt the consolidation agreement and all related transactions provided for in the definitive agreement.

        On March 7, 2013, Union and Riverview executed the consolidation agreement and issued a joint press release announcing the transaction.

        On April 24, 2013, Union held a special meeting of its board of directors at which it approved a technical amendment to the consolidation agreement providing that adoption of the consolidation agreement by the shareholders of Riverview and Union shall constitute approval of the 2009 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan of Riverview. This amendment is intended to ensure compliance with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, such that, upon consummation of the consolidation, Newco will be permitted to issue incentive stock options under such plan.


Riverview's Reasons for the Consolidation

        Riverview's board of directors considered the terms of the consolidation agreement, the economic and strategic benefits of the proposed consolidation, and the pro forma ownership percentages of the outstanding common stock of the combined company which would be held by the present holders of Riverview and Union common stock and determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of Riverview for Riverview to enter into the consolidation agreement with Union. Accordingly, Riverview's board of directors unanimously recommends that Riverview's shareholders vote "FOR" approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement.

41


Table of Contents

        In the course of making its decision to approve the transaction with Union, Riverview's board of directors consulted with Riverview's executive management and Riverview's financial and legal advisors. Riverview's board of directors considered, among other things, the following factors:

Table of Contents

Riverview's board of directors also considered the following:

        Riverview's board of directors realizes that there can be no assurance about future results, including results expected or considered in the factors listed above. The board of directors concluded, however, that the potential positive factors outweighed the potential risks of completing the consolidation.

        The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by Riverview's board of directors is not exhaustive, but includes the material factors considered by Riverview's board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the Riverview board of directors in connection with its evaluation of the consolidation and the complexity of these matters the Riverview board of directors did not consider it practical to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its decision. Riverview's board of directors evaluated the factors described above, including asking questions of Riverview's legal and financial advisors. In considering the factors described above, individual members of Riverview's board of directors may have given different weights to different factors. The Riverview board of directors relied on the experience and expertise of its legal advisors regarding the structure of the consolidation and the terms of the consolidation agreement and on the experience and expertise of its financial advisors for quantitative analysis of the financial terms of the consolidation. It should also be noted that this explanation of the reasoning of Riverview's board of directors and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the heading " Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements " on page 36.

Recommendation of Riverview's Board of Directors

        Riverview's board of directors believes that the terms of the transaction are in the best interests of Riverview and its shareholders and has unanimously approved the consolidation agreement. Accordingly, Riverview's board of directors unanimously recommends that Riverview shareholders vote "FOR" adoption of the consolidation agreement .


Opinion of Riverview's Financial Advisor

        Riverview engaged Ambassador on a retainer basis to advise it, from a financial perspective, in connection with strategic matters including consolidations and acquisitions. Pursuant to this engagement, Ambassador served as Riverview's financial advisor in connection with the proposed consolidation with Union, and agreed to provide Riverview with its opinion as to whether the Riverview exchange ratio and the Union exchange ratio agreed to with respect to the proposed consolidation are fair from a financial point of view.

        On March 7, 2013, at a meeting of the Riverview's board of directors held to evaluate the proposed consolidation, Ambassador delivered its oral opinion, which it confirmed later that day in writing to the effect that, based on and subject to various assumptions and limitations described at the meeting and in such opinion, the Riverview exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to Riverview.

         The full text of Ambassador's written opinion to Riverview, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, factors considered and limitations on the review undertaken, is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this proxy statement/prospectus. Holders of Riverview's shares of common stock are encouraged to read the opinion carefully in its entirety. The following summary of Ambassador's opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion.

         Ambassador delivered its opinion to Riverview for its benefit and use in connection with its evaluation of the consolidation with Union. It is not intended and does not constitute a recommendation to you on how to vote or act in connection with the consolidation.

        No limitations were imposed by Riverview on the scope of Ambassador's investigation or on the procedures followed by Ambassador in rendering its opinion.

        In rendering the opinion, Ambassador:

44


Table of Contents

        In rendering its opinion, Ambassador also relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy, reasonableness and completeness of the information, projections and forecasts provided by Riverview and Union and of the publicly available information used in its analysis. In particular, Ambassador relied upon: the results and findings from Riverview's review of Union's loan portfolio and pension plan; advisors engaged by Riverview to assess accounting marks for tax assets, non-impaired loans and deposits; and discussions of the results and projections with executive management of Riverview. Also: Ambassador did not review any individual credit files or appraisals of any asset or liability; Ambassador is not a legal, regulatory or tax expert and relied on assessments made by advisors to Riverview with respect to such issues; and Ambassador did not evaluate the solvency or fair value of Union, Riverview or any of their respective subsidiaries under any state of federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters.

        Ambassador's opinion was based on conditions as they existed and the information Ambassador received as of the date of its opinion. Ambassador does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. Ambassador did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor, and Ambassador believes that these analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of such analyses and the factors considered by it, without considering all such analyses and factors, could create an incomplete view of the underlying process and conclusions. Any analyses, such as those undertaken, are subject to uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and are beyond the control of Ambassador.

        Ambassador expressed no opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to officers, directors, or employees of any party to the consolidation, or any class of such persons relative to the consideration paid in the consolidation or with respect to the fairness of such compensation. Ambassador expressed no opinion as to the price at which Riverview common stock, Union common stock, or Newco common stock might trade in the future.

Transaction Summary

        Ambassador described the transaction, stating that both Riverview and Union will exchange all outstanding common shares for newly issued common shares in Newco. Each Riverview outstanding share of common stock will be exchanged for one share of Newco common stock, and each Union outstanding share of common stock will be exchanged for 1.95 shares of Newco common stock. Based on current outstanding shares of common stock, holders of Riverview common stock will own 63.5%, and holders of Union common stock will own 36.5% of Newco.

        Ambassador noted that, while the structure of the transaction was a consolidation into Newco, it considered the transaction for its analyses to be an acquisition of Union by Riverview. Pre-consolidation, Riverview was larger in terms assets, capital and earnings and post consolidation, shareholders of Riverview would own a majority of the outstanding common stock and current board members of Riverview would represent a majority of the Newco board.

        The following is a summary of the material financial analysis performed by Ambassador in connection with rendering its opinion.

Comparable Transactions Analysis for Union

        To determine the value range of Union common stock, Ambassador considered various methodologies including a comparable transaction analysis. The comparable transaction analysis included:

        Ambassador noted that, from January 1, 2013 through March 5, 2013, there were 15 announced bank and thrift transactions in the United States with a deal value in excess of $10 million, excluding mergers of equals, and the median percentages of book and tangible book were 100% and 102%, respectively. In 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the median percentages were slightly higher, in a range from 108% to 121%. The price-to-earnings, price-to-assets and price-to-deposits paid by the acquirers, as well as the tangible equity-to-tangible assets, return on average equity and non-performing assets, including loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing and troubled debt restructure ("NPAs"),-to-assets of the sellers, for these periods were also reviewed.

        Limiting the nationwide transactions to deal values above $10 million was done to minimize the impact of small transactions in which pricing multiples tend to show less consistency because of the smaller amount of funds involved. Transactions under $10 million are included in the regional and Pennsylvania groups as these groups were selected based on geographic similarities with Union.

Table of Contents

        Ambassador noted that there were 51 transactions in the region, which included Pennsylvania, as well as Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Virginia and the District of Columbia, that were announced from January 1, 2009 through March 5, 2013, with deal values ranging from $5 million to $500 million. To better analyze these transactions, Ambassador divided the 51 transactions into two groups based on performance and financial condition, to draw clearer distinctions in acquisition pricing multiples.

        The two groups were "Regional Transactions with Better Seller Fundamentals" and "Regional Transactions with Lesser Seller Fundamentals". The Regional Transactions with Better Seller Fundamentals group was comprised of 30 transactions where the selling institution, prior to the announcement, had tangible common equity-to-tangible assets over 6.50%, NPAs-to-assets under 4% and were profitable on an operating basis. Regional Transactions with Lesser Seller Fundamentals was comprised of 21 transactions where the selling institution, prior to the announcement, did not meet any one of those three criteria. Ambassador noted that Union met the tangible equity and profitability qualifications, but had NPAs-to-assets of 4.93% as of December 31, 2012, thereby when sold, it would have been included in the Regional Transactions with Lesser Fundamentals.

        Ambassador reminded that, the median tangible equity-to-tangible assets, net operating income and NPAs-to-assets for the Regional Transactions with Better Seller Fundamentals were higher than the medians for the Regional Transactions with Lesser Seller Fundamentals, but as these criteria were part of the selection process to create the two groups, this result is as anticipated. The Pennsylvania Transactions' medians were all in-between these two groups of medians, which reflects the mixed performance of the selling banks in this group.

        Selected transaction values for the various groups including deal value, price times earnings, price-to-tangible book, price-to-assets, price-to-deposits and the premium paid as a percent of the stock price one day prior to announcement were also reviewed.

        Ambassador commented that because of similarities in net operating income-to-average assets and NPAs-to-assets as well as other factors, the Regional Transactions with Lesser Fundamentals was the most comparable based on financial performance and condition, and the Pennsylvania Transactions was the most comparable based on geography. The median price-to-tangible equity of the Regional Transactions with Lesser Seller Fundamentals was 90% and the Pennsylvania Transactions was 121%. Pricing based on earnings, assets, deposits and relative to the stock price one day prior to announcement were also reviewed.

Discounted dividend analysis of Union with and without synergies

        Ambassador performed a discounted divided analysis to estimate a range for the implied equity value of Union common stock. In this analysis Ambassador assumed discount rates of 12% and 14% (see CAPM calculation), terminal values of 10X and 12X at the end of seven years and a 5% growth rate. Stand alone projections for Union, assuming a 8.66% normal capital ratio and a 0.25% return on average assets, did not result in a meaningful value. Stand alone projections, assuming cost savings of 47.5% of Union's 2012 non-interest expense of $4.6 million for 2012, resulted in a value range of Union common stock from $26.26 per share to $32.77 per share, which was 124% and 155% of Union's tangible book value as of December 31, 2012.

Value Analysis of Riverview common stock

        Ambassador conducted an analysis of Riverview common stock to determine its fair value. In this regard, Ambassador considered:

    The financial condition of Riverview, in particular, its capital position and asset quality;

    The financial performance of Riverview, in particular, its growth and returns on equity;

    The current and historical stock prices of Riverview;

    Selected financial data as compared to 15 profitable comparable banks headquartered in Pennsylvania with assets between $200 million and $750 million, NPAs-to-assets under 4% and trade an average of more than 200 shares daily ("Comparable PA Banks");

    Selected financial data as compared to 96 banks and thrifts headquartered in Pennsylvania with a traded stock ("PA Traded Banks");

        Ambassador noted that the Comparable PA Banks was the most comparable group to Riverview. This conclusion was based on all 15 banks being profitable, having assets between $200 million and $750 million and NPAs-to-assets under 4% of assets, and that Riverview was also profitable, had assets of $315 million and NPAs-to-assets of 2.24%. Ambassador also noted the Comparable PA Banks traded an average of more than 200 shares daily, with a median of 1,315 shares traded daily.

        Median financial data for tangible common equity-to-tangible assets, net interest income to average assets, non-interest income-to-average assets, non-interest expense-to-average assets, net operating income-to-average assets, efficiency ratios, return on average assets and return on average equity were also reviewed.

        Two other comparable groups, the PA Traded Banks and Comparable US Banks, were selected to provide benchmarks based on a larger group. Ambassador analyzed similar financial data for these two groups as well.

Source: Riverview.

        Absent a reported liquid stock price, earnings is normally the preferred method of valuation; however, when values determined by earnings are lower than valuations determined by tangible book, tangible book is often used. Other methods of valuation such as price-to-book or price-to-assets have lesser meaning unless prices determined by earnings or tangible book are compromised. Thus, the most applicable value for Riverview is one based on tangible book, which was $12.67 per share.

Recent trading prices of Riverview common stock

        Ambassador noted that Riverview common stock trades on the OTCQB and is lightly traded. From January 1, 2013 through March 5, 2013, only 9,144 shares traded with a total value of about $96,000 and a weighted average price of $10.52 per share. The closing price on March 5, 2013 was $10.35 per share.

        In 2012, 51,727 shares were traded, with a total value of about $577,000 and a weighted average price of $11.16 per share.

        Ambassador noted that, although Riverview's stock price was reported, its stock was relatively illiquid and may not be representative of Riverview's value.

Discounted dividend analysis of Riverview common stock

        Ambassador also used a discounted dividends analysis to determine if Riverview common stock is fairly valued. This analysis assumed annual net income growth of 5%, return on average assets of 0.75%, which assumes earnings increases in the future, and dividends paid out on capital in excess of 8.37% of assets. These growth assumptions are not based upon any formal projections or budgets and are subject to significant uncertainties, including changes in interest rates, the competitive landscape, and the regulatory environment.

        To approximate the terminal values of Riverview common stock at the end of a seven year period, price times earnings multiples of 10X and 12X were chosen to reflect historical bank trading multiples. The resulting dividend streams and terminal values were then discounted to present values using discount rates of 12%, and 14% (see Capital Asset Pricing Model calculation), Under these scenarios, the present value of Riverview common stock ranged from $9.90 per share to $12.45 per share.

CAPM Calculation (Discount Rates)

        The discount rates were calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model ("CAPM"). This model uses the current risk-free rate, a historical long horizon expected market risk premium, Beta of stocks and indexes, and an equity risk premium that fits the size of the companies. Ambassador calculated the CAPM discount rate based on the following assumptions:

Value of Transaction

        Based on Ambassador's analyses, the value of Riverview common stock was determined based on both comparable groups and recent trading values, and these values were then compared to the transaction pricing of banks with similar financial performance/condition and geography.

        The value of Riverview common stock, based on the 91% price-to-tangible book median of PA Comparables, the most comparable group, was $12.67 per share and, based on the average trading price in 2013 through March 5th, was $10.52 per share. These prices are both within range determined by the discounted dividend analysis which was from $9.90 per share to $12.45 per share.

        Using the two most comparable groups, the value of Union common stock in a transaction based on the Regional Transactions with Lesser Seller Fundamentals was 90% of tangible book and, based on PA Transactions since 2009, was 121% of tangible book. Assuming the value of Riverview common stock was $10.52 per share based on recent trading history, the implied deal value was $10.4 million, or 97% of tangible book, and, if Riverview common stock was valued at $12.67 per share, based on comparable banks, the implied deal value was $12.5 million, or 117% of tangible book.

Contribution Analysis

        Ambassador performed a contribution analysis based on key financial data as of December 31, 2012, absent any merger related costs or accounting adjustments. This analysis showed that Riverview's contribution to the combined balance sheet was 76.3% of loans, 72.1% of assets, 70.7% of deposits, 71.4% of equity and 69.0% of tangible equity. On a combined basis, Riverview stockholders will hold 63.5% of the outstanding common stock, 65.7% of fully diluted common stock and 68.8% of the seats on the board of directors.

        In determining the reasonableness of the balance sheet contributions versus the ownership of the common stock and control of the board, Ambassador noted four other transactions using 100% common stock announced since January 1, 2009 where the seller's ownership in the combined institution was greater than its common tangible equity contribution and the seller's ownership of the combined entity was greater than 15%. In these four transactions, the pro-forma ownership percentage of the seller dividend by the common tangible equity contribution of the seller resulted in multiples ranging from 1.10 to 1.33. Union's multiple based on common stock was 1.17 and based on fully diluted common stock was 1.11.

Financial Impact Analysis on Riverview

        Ambassador also conducted a financial impact analysis that included the impact of the consolidation on tangible book value at closing and on earnings per share for the five years after closing. Earnings estimates were provided by Union and Riverview, and these estimates were reviewed by Riverview's management. In addition, Ambassador assumed that the consolidation will result in cost savings equal to management's estimate and certain earnings enhancements will be achieved.

        The analysis determined that the merger would be dilutive to tangible book per share and, absent merger related expenses and restructuring charges, is accretive to earnings per share in the twelve month period following the merger.

        Furthermore, Ambassador's analysis indicated Riverview Bank's leverage ratio, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and total risk-based capital ratio would remain above the minimums to be considered

well-capitalized. This analysis was reviewed by Riverview management. All of the results of Ambassador's financial impact analysis may vary materially from the actual results achieved by Riverview.

Conclusion

        Since no comparable transactions or institutions used in Ambassador's various analyses are identical to Riverview, Union or the particulars of this consolidation, the results do not represent mathematical certainty. Instead the comparisons rely on the likelihood that the median acquisition prices of comparable transactions, the median stock prices of comparable banks, discounted dividend analyses and other analyses conducted are applicable to the acquisition value paid for Union by Riverview and in valuing Riverview common stock.

        The summary set forth above is not a complete description of the analyses and procedures performed by Ambassador in the course of arriving at its opinion.

        Ambassador concluded that, based on its analyses, experience and other factors deemed relevant, that as of March 7, 2013, the combination of Riverview with Union to form Newco, based upon the aforementioned exchange ratios, was fair to the common shareholders of Riverview from a financial point of view.

Other disclosures

        Ambassador, as part of its financial advisory business, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and valuations for corporate and other purposes. Riverview selected Ambassador to act as its financial advisor based on Ambassador's experience, including in connection with mergers and acquisitions of commercial banks and bank holding companies.

        Pursuant to an engagement letter, Riverview has agreed to pay Ambassador an advisory fee, including the issuance of a fairness opinion, totaling $125,000. Riverview paid Ambassador a $12,000 engagement fee, $15,000 fee upon commencement of additional due diligence after Union's receipt of initial terms or letter of intent and $28,000 upon the execution of the merger agreement and upon Ambassador's presentation of its financial opinion. Riverview will pay Ambassador $10,000 upon mailing of proxy statements regarding the transaction to shareholders and the remaining $60,000 of its fee upon the closing of the consolidation. Riverview has also agreed to reimburse Ambassador's out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its engagement and to indemnify Ambassador against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of its obligations under the engagement letter.

        During the past two years, Ambassador has received no other compensation from Riverview and, at the time of issuance of its opinion, no other services have been contemplated or contracted. During the past two years, Ambassador has not received any compensation from Union, and no services have been contemplated or contracted.

        During the past two years, there have been no material relationships between Ambassador and either Riverview or Union.

        Ambassador's fairness committee approved the issuance of the fairness opinion letter dated March 7, 2013.


Union's Reasons for the Consolidation

         After careful consideration, the Union board of directors determined that it was in the best interests of Union for Union to enter into the consolidation agreement with Riverview. Accordingly,

57


Table of Contents

Union's board unanimously recommends that Union's shareholders vote "FOR" adoption of the consolidation agreement.

        In the course of determining that a consolidation with Riverview is in the best interests of Union, the Union board of directors, in consultation with senior management and Union's legal and financial advisors, considered, thoroughly analyzed and vetted multiple and wide-ranging short-and long-term strategic options for Union. During the process of updating Union's strategic plan in the spring of 2012, senior management presented to the Union board several alternatives including, but not limited to:

    remaining independent and attempting to grow organically;

    downsizing Union Bank through branch sales or closings to enhance future earnings prospects through cost savings;

    attempting to access additional capital to fund the acquisition of additional earning assets and product expansion;

    entering into new lines of business to increase profitability; and

    seeking a strategic partner.

        During these meetings, senior management also presented the Union board with information regarding the current state and anticipated future of the banking industry generally, the potential future impact of new and anticipated additional regulation of community banks and current and projected economic information. The board of directors, with the assistance of senior management, carefully considered the pros and cons of each strategic alternative, including, without limitation, the execution risk associated with the implementation of each alternative.

        After such careful consideration, Union's board of directors determined that it was in the best interests of Union to pursue a strategic partner through acquisition, combination or merger because it would allow Union to achieve its strategic goals more quickly and with less risk than the other alternatives considered. The Union board made this decision based on the following material factors, which are not necessarily all-inclusive:

    The changing regulatory environment, including, in particular, issuance of additional regulations to implement various provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, and the expectant material increase in legal and compliance costs to Union as greater human and technological resources and expertise are required to remain compliant. The board concluded Union lacks the size and scale necessary to effectively absorb the higher costs associated with providing the additional resources the new regulations demand.

    The probability of an increase in the minimum levels of capital required to be maintained by Union Bank, which would have a negative impact on future income as less capital could be deployed into earning assets.

    The recognition of continued margin compression in the banking industry. Union's loans are re-pricing at lower rates with differences far greater than savings from lower interest rates paid by the bank on its deposit accounts, resulting in smaller profit margins. The board believes that this trend will continue, since interest rates are expected to remain at or near historic lows for at least another few years.

    The continued decline in the population of Union's primary geographic market areas of Schuylkill and Northumberland Counties coupled with an increase in the number of financial services companies competing against Union in these markets. The growth in competition for the same customer base negatively affects loan pricing and, thus, earnings. This increased competition also creates more reliance on achieving a diversified revenue stream that can only

58


Table of Contents

      be derived from entering new lines of business and offering products and services Union is unable to provide because of its size and expertise.

    The prolonged economic downturn in Union's primary market that began with the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009. Unemployment in Union's primary market areas remains higher than the state and national averages, and home values continue to appraise for less than they did in prior years, further limiting new loan opportunities and creating elevated loan quality risk due to lower collateral values on real estate loans already in the portfolio.

    The drain on earnings and capital resulting from Union's extensive loan loss provision expenses and charge-offs since 2008, attributable primarily to older commercial real estate and land development loans in Union's loan portfolio.

    Union's inability to declare and pay a shareholder dividend since 2009 and the Union board's belief that it would be at least another year before Union would be in a position to declare and pay a dividend.

    The depressed price at which Union's common stock is trading, ranging primarily from 60% to 65% of book value.

    The substantial and costly capital improvements required to sustain Union's existing branch network.

    The substantial and costly investments in information technology required to permit Union to remain competitive in the marketplace.

    The continued demands on Union's board and senior management team resulting from the need to remain compliant with a Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU, that Union entered into with its regulators, which have diverted management's attention away from servicing existing customers and developing new business.

    The belief of Union's board that additional scale is required to offset increasing operating costs coupled with substantial execution risk to grow Union Bank organically given the prevailing economic conditions, required capital for growth and additional personnel that would be needed to maintain a larger organization.

    The limited opportunity for Union employees to advance within a smaller organization.

    The reputational risk associated with closing or selling branches or other assets to increase profitability.

        The foregoing factors, considered together with the following factors, led Union's board of directors to conclude a business combination with Riverview, specifically, is in the best interests of Union:

    The economic value of the exchange ratio offered by Riverview in its revised non-binding indication of interest was considered by Union's board to be comparable to the exchange ratio offered by the other institution that submitted a revised non-binding indication of interest.

    The fact that a combination with Riverview would result in a larger surviving company with greater scale and liquidity than if Union remained independent or selected an alternative proposal.

    Riverview's historical earnings record and earnings trends which, if continued, would alleviate most of the concerns raised in the MOU.

    Riverview's historical track record of paying its shareholders dividends at yields near the high end of its peer group.

59


Table of Contents

    The fact that a combination with Riverview would result in minimal geographic overlap with Union.

    Combining with Riverview would provide the surviving company with greater lending capacity due to a higher legal lending limit, as well as a more diverse product base for Union's customers.

    The fact that, based on fiscal year end 2012 results, Union would contribute approximately 28.6% of the combined capital in a transaction with Riverview, but Union shareholders would own approximately 36.5% of the combined company's outstanding common stock.

    Combining with Riverview would allow for expansion into other geographic markets, providing additional growth opportunities and less overall market concentration risk.

    Combining with Riverview provides an increased presence in Union's primary market area of Schuylkill County, through additional offices and a wealth management division.

    Riverview's operating philosophy as a community-oriented, customer service-focused financial services company with local decision making capabilities is similar and compatible with Union's operating philosophy and approach to the markets it serves.

    A mutual understanding of each bank's business, operations, financial condition, earnings, capital and prospects, including the geographic markets served by both Riverview and Union.

    The understanding that the transaction is expected to result in pro forma earnings per share accretion to Union shareholders.

    The understanding that Riverview's capital position would support further growth by the combined company.

    Additional liquidity offered by the shares issued in the combined company resulting from a larger shareholder base with expanded geographic coverage.

    Perceived opportunities to recognize a significant reduction in operating expenses following the transaction.

    The similar and complementary nature of the respective customer bases, business products and skills of Union and Riverview management and employees could result in synergies resulting from an expanded product menu for customers, additional delivery channels and lines of business, that present cross-sales opportunities distributed over a broader combined customer base with best practices of the respective companies being compared and applied throughout the surviving company.

    Riverview's liquidity, loan to deposit ratio and capital position.

    The fact that five (5) of Union's non-employee directors will be appointed to the board of directors of the combined company, providing the combined company with a stronger and more experienced leadership team.

    The depth of Riverview's management team.

    The likelihood that Union employees will have greater opportunity for advancement and future career mobility in the larger combined company.

    The opinion by KBW that the exchange ratio of 1.95 shares of common stock in the combined company for every share of Union common stock is fair to shareholders of Union from a financial point of view.

Table of Contents

    The review by Union's board of directors with its legal counsel of the structure and terms of the consolidation agreement.

    The likelihood that the required regulatory approvals necessary to complete the transaction will be obtained.

    The experience of Riverview in combining organizations.

        The Union board of directors also considered a variety of potential risks associated with the transaction, including (i) the matters discussed in the MOU; (ii) the quality of Riverview's loan portfolio and overall asset quality; (iii) challenges associated with integrating the business, operations and cultures of the organizations; (iv) risks associated with achieving potential earnings and revenue enhancements, anticipated cost savings, greater operational efficiencies, and other potential financial benefits, as well as with maintaining reorganization, integration and restructuring expenses at anticipated levels; and (v) challenges presented by the current economic climate to profit margins of both organizations and the potential effects on the combined company.

        Union's board of directors realized there can be no assurance about future results, including results expected or considered in the factors listed above. However, the Union board concluded the potential positive factors outweighed the potential risks of completing the consolidation.

        During its consideration of the consolidation, Union's board of directors was also aware that some of its directors and executive officers may have interests in the consolidation that are different from or in addition to those of its shareholders generally, as described under "The Consolidation—Union's Directors and Executive Officers Have Financial Interests in the Consolidation" beginning on page 73.

        The preceding discussion of the factors considered by Union's board of directors in evaluating the proposed transaction are not intended to be exhaustive, but, rather, include all material factors considered by Union's board. In reaching its decision to approve the transaction, the Union board of directors did not quantify or assign relative weights to different factors. The Union board of directors evaluated the factors described above, including asking questions of Union's senior management, legal advisors and financial advisors and determined that this transaction was in the best interests of Union. In reaching its determination, the Union board of directors relied on the experience of its financial advisors for quantitative analysis of the financial terms of the merger. See " Opinion of Union's Financial Advisor " below. It should be noted that this explanation of the reasoning of Union's board of directors and all other information in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the heading " Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements " on page 36.


Recommendation of Union's Board of Directors

        Union's board of directors believes that the terms of the transaction are in the best interests of Union and has unanimously approved the consolidation agreement. Accordingly, Union's board of directors unanimously recommends that Union shareholders vote "FOR" adoption of the consolidation agreement .


Opinion of Union's Financial Advisor

        On August 6, 2012, Union engaged KBW to render financial advisory and investment banking services to Union. KBW agreed to assist Union in assessing the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Union exchange ratio in the proposed consolidation with Riverview, to the shareholders of Union. Union selected KBW because KBW is a nationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the consolidation and is familiar with Union and its business. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of financial services companies and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions.

Table of Contents

        As part of its engagement, representative(s) of KBW attended the meeting of the Union board held on March 7, 2013, at which the Union board evaluated the proposed consolidation with Riverview. At this meeting, KBW reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed consolidation and rendered an opinion that, as of such date, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Union common stock. The Union board approved the consolidation agreement at this meeting.

        The full text of KBW's written opinion is attached as Annex C to this document and is incorporated herein by reference. Union shareholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety for a description of the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW. The description of the opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion.

         KBW's opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion is directed to the Union board and addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the exchange ratio to the holders of Union common stock. It does not address the underlying business decision to proceed with the consolidation and does not constitute a recommendation to any Union shareholder as to how the shareholder should vote at the Union annual meeting on the consolidation or any related matter.

        In rendering its opinion, KBW reviewed, among other things:

    a draft of the consolidation agreement dated March 4, 2013 (the most recent draft made available to KBW);

    the Annual Reports to Stockholders for the three years ended December 31, 2011 of Union and the Annual Reports to Stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the three years ended December 31, 2011 of Riverview;

    certain quarterly internal management reports and quarterly call reports; and

    other financial information concerning the businesses and operations of Union and Riverview furnished to KBW by Union and Riverview for purposes of KBW's analysis.

        In addition, KBW held discussions with members of senior management of Union and Riverview regarding past and current business operations, regulatory relations, financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies, and other matters KBW deemed relevant. In addition, KBW compared certain financial and stock market information for Union and Riverview with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded, reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the banking industry, and performed other studies and analyses that it considered appropriate.

        In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, KBW relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to them or otherwise publicly available. KBW did not independently verify the accuracy or completeness of any such information or assume any responsibility for such verification or accuracy. KBW relied upon the management of Union and Riverview as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections (and the assumptions and bases therefore) provided to KBW and assumed that such forecasts and projections reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of such managements and that such forecasts and projections will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods estimated by such managements. KBW assumed, without independent verification, that the aggregate allowance for loan and lease losses for Union and Riverview were adequate to cover those losses. KBW did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of the property, assets or liabilities of Union or Riverview, nor did it examine any individual credit files.

        The projections furnished to KBW and used by it in certain of its analyses were prepared by Union's and Riverview's senior management teams. Union and Riverview do not publicly disclose internal management projections of the type provided to KBW in connection with its review of the

62


Table of Contents

consolidation. As a result, such projections were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure. The projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions, which are inherently uncertain, including factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in the projections.

        For purposes of rendering its opinion, KBW assumed that, in all respects material to its analyses:

    the consolidation will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the consolidation agreement with no additional payments or adjustments to the exchange ratio;

    the representations and warranties of each party in the consolidation agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the consolidation agreement are true and correct;

    each party to the consolidation agreement and all related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents;

    all conditions to the completion of the consolidation will be satisfied without any waivers or modifications to the consolidation agreement; and

    in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the consolidation, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity or the contemplated benefits of the consolidation, including the cost savings, revenue enhancements and related expenses expected to result from the consolidation.

        KBW further assumed that the consolidation will be accounted for using the acquisition method under generally accepted accounting principles, and that the consolidation will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes. KBW's opinion is not an expression of an opinion as to the prices at which shares of Union common stock or shares of Riverview common stock will trade following the announcement of the consolidation or the actual value of the shares of common stock of the combined company when issued pursuant to the consolidation, or the prices at which the shares of common stock of the combined company will trade following the completion of the consolidation.

        In performing its analyses, KBW made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, which are beyond the control of KBW, Union and Riverview. Any estimates contained in the analyses performed by KBW are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Additionally, estimates of the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which such businesses or securities might actually be sold. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. In addition, the KBW opinion was among several factors taken into consideration by the Union board in making its determination to approve the consolidation agreement and the consolidation. Consequently, the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of the Union board with respect to the fairness of the consideration.

        The following is a summary of the material analyses presented by KBW to the Union board on March 7, 2013, in connection with its fairness opinion. The summary is not a complete description of the analyses underlying the KBW opinion or the presentation made by KBW to the Union board, but summarizes the material analyses performed and presented in connection with such opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytic process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial

Table of Contents

analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, KBW did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. Accordingly, KBW believes that its analyses and the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses.

        Summary of Proposal.     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Riverview and Union will consolidate to form a new Pennsylvania corporation ("Newco") under the name "Riverview Financial Corp." and, immediately thereafter, Union Bank and Trust Company, a Pennsylvania-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Union, will be merged with and into Riverview Bank, a Pennsylvania-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Riverview. Each share of Riverview and Union outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than dissenting shares or shares of Union or Riverview owned by Union or Riverview or by any of the respective wholly-owned subsidiaries) will be converted into and exchanged for, and Newco shall issue, in the case of Union, 1.95 shares of Newco Common Stock (the "Exchange Ratio") and, in the case of Riverview, one share of Newco Common Stock. Based on Riverview's closing price on March 6, 2013, of $10.23, the exchange ratio represented a price of $19.95 per share to Union's shareholders.

        Transaction multiples for the consolidation were derived from an offer price of $19.95 per share for Union, based on Riverview's closing price of $10.23 on March 6, 2013 and a fixed exchange ratio of 1.95. For each transaction referred to above, KBW derived and compared, among other things, the implied ratio of price per common share paid for the acquired company to:

    tangible book value per share of the acquired company based on the latest publicly available financial statements of the company available prior to the announcement of the acquisition;

    tangible common equity premium to core deposits (total deposits less time deposits greater than $100,000) based on the latest publicly available financial statements of the company available prior to the announcement of the acquisition; and

    market premium based on the closing price 1-day prior to the announcement of the acquisition.

        No company or transaction used as a comparison in the above analysis is identical to Union, Riverview or the consolidation. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies.

        Contribution Analysis.     KBW analyzed the relative contribution of each Union and Riverview to the pro forma balance sheet and income statement items of the combined entity, including assets, gross loans held for investment, deposits, tangible common equity, 2013 and 2014 estimated net income available to common and pre-transaction market capitalization. In the course of this analysis, KBW used earnings estimates for Riverview for 2013 and 2014 from Riverview management and earnings estimates for Union for 2013 and 2014 from Union management. KBW compared the relative contribution of balance sheet for the period ended December 31, 2012, which did not include any estimated purchase accounting adjustments, and income statement items with the estimated pro forma ownership for Union based on Union shares being exchanged for 1.95 shares of Newco. The results of KBW's analysis are set forth in the following table:

        Financial Impact Analysis.     KBW performed pro forma merger analyses that combined projected income statement and balance sheet information of Union and Riverview. Assumptions regarding the accounting treatment, acquisition adjustments and cost savings were used to calculate the financial impact that the consolidation would have on certain projected financial results of Riverview. In the course of this analysis, KBW used earnings estimates for Riverview and Union for 2014 from Riverview management. This analysis indicated that the consolidation is expected to be accretive to Riverview's estimated earnings per share in 2014. The analysis also indicated that the consolidation is expected to

68


Table of Contents

be dilutive to tangible book value per share for Riverview and that Riverview would maintain well capitalized capital ratios. For all of the above analyses, the actual results achieved by Riverview following the consolidation will vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material.

        Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.     KBW performed a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate a range of the present values of after-tax cash flows that Union could provide to equity holders through 2018 on a stand-alone basis. In performing this analysis, KBW used earnings estimates for 2013 to 2014 and 3% earnings growth thereafter, from Union management, and assumed discount rates ranging from 13.0% to 17.0%. The range of values was determined by adding (1) the present value of projected cash flows to Union shareholders from 2013 to 2017 and (2) the present value of the terminal value of Union's common stock. In determining cash flows available to shareholders, KBW assumed balance sheet growth per Union management and assumed that Union would maintain a tangible common equity / tangible asset ratio of 7.50% and would retain sufficient earnings to maintain that level. Any earnings in excess of what would need to be retained represented dividendable cash flows for Union. In calculating the terminal value of Union, KBW applied multiples ranging from 11.0 times to 15.0 times 2018 forecasted earnings. This resulted in a range of values of Union from $5.85 to $7.77 per share. The discounted cash flow present value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology that relies on numerous assumptions, including asset and earnings growth rates, terminal values and discount rates. The analysis did not purport to be indicative of the actual values or expected values of Union.

        The Union board retained KBW as financial adviser to Union regarding the consolidation. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of bank and bank holding company securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, KBW has experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of its business as a broker-dealer, KBW may, from time to time, purchase securities from, and sell securities to, Union and Riverview. As a market maker in securities, KBW may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of Union and Riverview for KBW's own account and for the accounts of its customers. To the extent KBW held any such positions, it was disclosed to Union.

        Union and KBW entered into an agreement relating to the services to be provided by KBW in connection with the consolidation. Union paid KBW a cash fee of $25,000 concurrently with the execution of the engagement letter. Union paid KBW a cash fee of $125,000 concurrently with the rendering of the Fairness Opinion (the "Opinion Fee") related to the transaction. In addition, Union agreed to pay KBW at the time of closing of the transaction a cash fee (the "Contingent Fee") equal to $250,000. Pursuant to the KBW engagement agreement, Union also agreed to reimburse KBW for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with its retention, up to $30,000, and to indemnify against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws. During the past two years, KBW has not provided investment banking and financial advisory services to Union. In addition, during the past two years, KBW has not provided investment banking and financial advisory services to Riverview. KBW may in the future provide investment banking and financial advisory services to Riverview and receive compensation for such services.


Board of Directors and Management of Newco Following Completion of the Consolidation

        The size of the Newco board of directors will be fixed at 16 directors, consisting of five (5) current non-employee directors of Union and eleven (11) directors designated by Riverview. The classes of the board of directors of Newco to which the Union and Riverview directors will be appointed shall be mutually agreed by Union and Riverview, with the understanding that designees of each party will be distributed among the classes of directorship of Newco. Riverview has agreed that it will nominate the five (5) Union designees to the Newco board as directors for at least three (3) years following the consolidation. The executive officers of Newco will be the existing executive officers of Riverview.

        Biographical information about Riverview's current officers and directors is located under the heading " Information about Riverview Financial Corporation " beginning on page 97, and biographical information about the Union directors is located under the heading " Information about Union Bancorp, Inc. " beginning on page 134.


Lack of Active Trading Market

        Currently, neither the common stock of Riverview nor the common stock of Union is traded on a national securities exchange, although both companies' common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, and there is currently a very limited public trading market for the common stock of either Riverview or Union. The most recent trading price for Riverview's common stock known to Riverview's management was $11.00 per share on April 15, 2013, and the most recent trading price for Union's common stock known to Union's management was $19.00 per share on April 15, 2013. Given the absence of an established trading market for Riverview and Union shares, such prices may not reflect actual current market values. Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement to which this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part, the shares issued in connection with the consolidation will be freely transferable under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.


Shareholders Have Dissenters' Rights in the Consolidation

General

        Both Riverview and Union shareholders have the right under Pennsylvania law to dissent from the consolidation agreement and obtain the "fair value" of their shares in cash as determined by an appraisal process in accordance with the procedures under Subchapter D of Chapter 15 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended. Following is a summary of the rights of dissenting shareholders. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Annex D which sets forth the applicable dissenters' rights provisions of Pennsylvania law. If you are considering exercising your dissenters' rights, you should read carefully the summary below and the full text of the law set forth in Annex D .

        In the discussion of dissenters' rights, the term "fair value" means the value of a share of Union or Riverview common stock, as applicable, immediately before the day of the effective date of the consolidation, taking into account all relevant factors, but excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the consolidation. Before the effective date of the consolidation:

    Union shareholders should send any written notice or demand required in order to exercise dissenters' rights to Union Bancorp, Inc., 25 S. Centre St., Pottsville, Pa 17901 (Attn: Naomi Morrow Ost, Corporate Secretary); and

    Riverview shareholders should send any written notice or demand required in order to exercise dissenters' rights to Riverview Financial Corporation, 200 Front Street, PO Box B, Marysville, PA 17053 (Attn: Terry Wasko, CFO)

        After the effective date of the consolidation, all dissenters should send any correspondence to Riverview Financial Corporation, 200 Front Street, PO Box B, Marysville, PA 17053 (Attn: Terry Wasko, CFO).

Notice of Intention to Dissent

If you wish to dissent from the consolidation, you must do the following:

    For Union shareholders, prior to the vote on the consolidation agreement by Union shareholders at the Union annual meeting, or for Riverview shareholders, prior to the vote on the consolidation agreement by Riverview shareholders at the Riverview special meeting, file

70


Table of Contents

      with the company whose shares you own a written notice of your intention to demand payment of the fair value of your shares of common stock if the consolidation is completed;

    Make no change in your beneficial ownership of the common stock with respect to which you are dissenting from the date you give notice of your intention to demand fair value of your shares through the day of the consolidation; and

    Not vote your shares of common stock with respect to which you are dissenting to adopt the consolidation agreement at the special or annual meeting, as the case may be.

Simply providing a proxy against or voting against the proposed consolidation will not constitute notice of your intention to dissent. Further, if you submit a proxy but do not indicate how you wish to vote, you will be deemed to have voted in favor of the consolidation, and your right to dissent will be lost.

Notice to Demand Payment

        If the consolidation is adopted by the required vote of Union and Riverview shareholders, Riverview or Union will mail a notice to all those dissenting shareholders who gave due notice of their intention to demand payment of the fair value of their shares and who did not vote to adopt the consolidation agreement. The notice will state where and when dissenting shareholders must deliver a written demand for payment and where such dissenting shareholder must deposit certificates for the shares of common stock for which they dissented in order to obtain payment. The notice will include a form for demanding payment and a copy of the relevant provisions of Pennsylvania law. The time set for receipt of the demand for payment and deposit of stock certificates will be not less than 30 days from the date of mailing of the notice.

Failure to Comply with Required Steps to Dissent

        You must take each step in the indicated order and in strict compliance with Pennsylvania law in order to maintain your dissenters' rights. If you fail to follow these steps, you will lose the right to dissent, and you will receive the same consolidation consideration as shareholders who do not dissent.

Payment of Fair Value of Shares

        Promptly after the effective date of the consolidation, or upon timely receipt of demand for payment if the closing of the consolidation has already take place, Riverview will send each dissenting shareholder who has deposited his, her or its stock certificates, the amount that Riverview estimates to be the fair value of the common stock held by such dissenting shareholder. The remittance or notice will be accompanied by:

    A closing balance sheet and statement of income of Union or Riverview (depending on which company you were a shareholder of) for the fiscal year ending not more than 16 months before the date of remittance or notice, together with the latest available interim financial statements;

    A statement of Riverview's estimate of the fair value of Union or Riverview common stock (depending on which company you were a shareholder of); and

    A notice of the right of the dissenting shareholder to demand supplemental payment, accompanied by a copy of the relevant provisions of Pennsylvania law.

Estimate by Dissenting Shareholder of Fair Value of Shares

        If a dissenting shareholder believes that the amount stated or remitted by Riverview is less than the fair value of their common stock, the dissenting shareholder must send its estimate of the fair value (deemed a demand for the deficiency) of such common stock to Riverview within 30 days after Riverview mails its remittance. If the dissenting shareholder does not file its estimated fair value within

71


Table of Contents

30 days after the mailing by Riverview of its remittance, the dissenting shareholder will be entitled to no more than the amount remitted by Riverview.

Valuation Proceedings

        If any demands for payment remain unsettled within 60 days after the latest to occur of:

    The effective date of the consolidation;

    Timely receipt by Union or Riverview, as the case may be, of any demands for payment; or

    Timely receipt by Union or Riverview, as the case may be, of any estimates by dissenters' of the fair value,

then, Riverview may file an application, in the Court of Common Pleas, requesting that the court determine the fair value of the common stock. If this happens, all dissenting shareholders whose demands have not been settled, no matter where they reside, will become parties to the proceeding. In addition, a copy of the application will be delivered to each dissenting shareholder.

        If Riverview were to fail to file the application, then any dissenting shareholder, on behalf of all dissenting shareholders who have made a demand and who have not settled their claim against Riverview, may file an application in the name of Riverview at any time within the 30-day period after the expiration of the 60-day period and request that the Court of Common Pleas determine the fair value of the shares. The fair value determined by the Court of Common Pleas may, but need not, equal the dissenting shareholders' estimates of fair value. If no dissenter files an application, then each dissenting shareholder entitled to do so shall be paid no more than Riverview's estimate of the fair value of their common stock, and may bring an action to recover any amount not previously remitted, plus interest at a rate the Court of Common Pleas finds fair and equitable.

        Riverview intends to negotiate in good faith with any dissenting shareholder. If, after negotiation, a claim cannot be settled, then Riverview will file an application requesting that the fair value of the Union or Riverview common stock, as the case may be, be determined by the Court of Common Pleas.

Cost and Expenses

        The costs and expenses of any valuation proceedings performed by the Court of Common Pleas, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of any appraiser appointed by such court to recommend a decision on the issue of fair value, will be determined by such court and assessed against Riverview, except that any part of the costs and expenses may be apportioned and assessed by such court against any or all of the dissenting shareholders who are parties and whose action in demanding supplemental payment is dilatory, obdurate, arbitrary, vexatious or in bad faith, in the opinion of such court.

Union or Riverview shareholders wishing to exercise their dissenters' rights should consult their own counsel to ensure that they fully and properly comply with applicable requirements .


Regulatory Approvals Required for the Consolidation

        The consolidation and the bank merger are subject to certain regulatory approvals as set forth below.

        The consolidation is subject to the approval of the FRB under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"). The merger of Union Bank into Riverview Bank, or the bank merger, is subject to the approval of the FDIC under the Bank Merger Act (the "Bank Merger Act"). In addition, both the consolidation and the bank merger are subject to the approval of the PDB under the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965, as amended (the "Banking Code").

72


Table of Contents

        In reviewing Riverview's application for approval of the consolidation under the BHC Act, the FRB must consider, among other factors, the competitive effect of the consolidation, the managerial and financial resources and future prospects of Newco, the effect of the consolidation on the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, including the records of performance of the subsidiary banks of the consolidating companies in meeting the credit needs of the communities under the Community Reinvestment Act, the effectiveness of Riverview in combating money laundering activities, and the extent to which the consolidation would result in greater or more concentrated risks to the stability of the United States banking or financial system. Applicable regulations require publication of notice of the application and an opportunity for the public to comment on the application in writing and to request a hearing.

        In reviewing Riverview Bank's application for approval of the bank merger under the Bank Merger Act, the FDIC must consider, among other factors, the competitive effect of the bank merger, the managerial and financial resources and future prospects of Riverview Bank, the effect of the bank merger on the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, including the records of performance of the merging banks in meeting the credit needs of the communities under the Community Reinvestment Act, the effectiveness of Riverview Bank in combating money laundering activities, and the risk that would be posed by the bank merger to the stability of the United States banking or financial system. Applicable regulations require publication of notice of the application and an opportunity for the public to comment on the application in writing.

        The consolidation and the bank merger are also subject to the approval of the PDB under the Banking Code. The Banking Code authorizes the acquisition of a bank holding company by another bank holding company. It also authorizes the merger of Pennsylvania chartered banks, such as Riverview Bank and Union Bank. In reviewing an application for approval of a bank merger, the PDB will consider, among other things, whether the plan of merger adequately protects the interests of the depositors, other creditors and shareholders, and whether the bank merger would be consistent with adequate and sound banking practices and in the public interest on the basis of the financial history and condition of the banks involved, their future prospects, the character of their management, the potential effect of the bank merger on competition, and the convenience and needs of the areas primarily to be served by the resulting institution.

        The parties are not aware of any other governmental approvals or actions that may be required to consummate the consolidation. If any other approval or action is required, it is contemplated that such approval or action would be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.


Union's Directors and Executive Officers Have Financial Interests in the Consolidation

        In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of Union that Union shareholders vote to adopt the consolidation agreement, Union shareholders should be aware that Union directors and executive officers have financial interests in the consolidation that may be different from, or in addition to, those of Union shareholders generally. The board of directors was aware of and considered these potential interests, among other matters, in its decision to approve the consolidation agreement.

Share Ownership

        As of [    •    ], 2013, the directors and executive officers of Union may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 21,622 shares, representing 4.3% of the outstanding shares of Union common stock.

        For more information, see " Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Holders of Union" (page 147).

Board Positions and Compensation

        Riverview has agreed in the consolidation agreement that upon completion of the consolidation, five (5) of the sixteen (16) persons to serve initially on the board of directors of Newco at the effective date shall be designated by the Union board of directors, and eleven (11) of the sixteen (16) persons shall be designated by the Riverview board of directors.

Employment Agreements

        Upon the consummation of the consolidation, Newco and Riverview Bank will assume the employment agreements between Union Bank and certain of its executives. Union Bank had previously entered into employment agreements with Mark F. Ketch, Bruce Hart and Robert Ulaner.

        Pursuant to the terms of their existing employment agreements, upon termination of the executive's employment following a change of control, which includes the consolidation, for any reason other than fraud, intentional misconduct or criminal conduct, the executive will be entitled to a severance benefit equal to, in the case of Messrs. Ketch and Hart, the continued payment of the executive's current annual base salary for thirty-six (36) months and, in the case of Mr. Ulaner, a severance benefit equal to the continued payment of the executive's current annual base salary for twelve (12) months, in each case to be paid in accordance with Union Bank's ordinary payroll schedule.

        None of the foregoing executives have entered into new employment agreements with Riverview or Riverview Bank and, upon the termination of their employment following the consolidation for any reason other than fraud, intentional misconduct or criminal conduct, each will be entitled to the severance benefits under their existing agreements as described above. Please see " Severance Payments and Benefits in Employment Agreements ", below.


Severance Payments and Benefits in Employment Agreements

        The following table sets forth the aggregate dollar value of the compensation that each executive officer of Union would receive that is based on or otherwise relates to the consolidation, assuming the following:

    the consolidation closed on [    •    ], 2013, the latest practicable date prior to the filing of this document; and

Conversion of Stock Options

        At the time, and as a result, of the consolidation, outstanding options to purchase common stock of Riverview will be converted into options to purchase the same number of shares of common stock of Newco on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Riverview stock options.


Indemnification and Insurance

        The consolidation agreement provides that Newco will, following the consolidation, indemnify all current and former officers and directors of Union and its subsidiaries in accordance with Pennsylvania law and the indemnification provisions of Union's articles of incorporation and bylaws. In addition, for six years after the acquisition, Newco agrees to maintain liability insurance coverage with respect to matters arising at or prior to the consolidation for each current or former officer or director of Union or any of its subsidiaries, in amounts and on terms not materially less advantageous than the coverage provided prior to the acquisition, subject to a limit on the cost of such insurance of 150% of its current cost.

THE CONSOLIDATION AGREEMENT

         The following describes certain aspects of the consolidation, including material provisions of the consolidation agreement. The following description of the consolidation agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the consolidation agreement, which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A and is incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. We urge you to read the consolidation agreement carefully and in its entirety, as it is the legal document governing this consolidation. The consolidation agreement is not intended to provide any other factual information about Riverview, Union, or any of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the consolidation agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants of any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Riverview, Union, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by Riverview or Union.


Terms of the Consolidation

        Each of the Union board of directors and the Riverview board of directors has unanimously adopted the agreement and plan of consolidation which provides for the consolidation of Union and Riverview into a new corporate entity, Newco. Each share of Riverview common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to completion of the consolidation will be exchanged for one share of Newco common stock. Each share of Union common stock issued and outstanding at the effective time of the consolidation will be converted into 1.95 shares of Riverview common stock, as described below. See " Consideration to Be Received in the Consolidation ." Neither Riverview nor Union owns any shares of common stock of the other.

        The articles of incorporation and bylaws of the consolidated company, Newco, are set forth in Exhibits D and E, respectively, of the consolidation agreement, which is attached hereto as Annex A .


Closing and Effective Time of the Consolidation

        The consolidation will be completed only if all of the following occur:

    The agreement and plan of consolidation is approved and adopted by both the Riverview shareholders and the Union shareholders;

    All required governmental and regulatory consents and approvals have been obtained;

    No more than 12% of the outstanding shares of each of Union and Riverview shall have exercised dissenters rights; and

    All other conditions to the consolidation discussed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the consolidation agreement are either satisfied or waived.

        The consolidation will become effective when articles of consolidation are filed with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. However, we may agree to a later time for completion of the consolidation and specify that time in accordance with Pennsylvania law. In the consolidation agreement, we have agreed to cause the completion of the consolidation to occur no later than thirty (30) business days following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in the

76


Table of Contents

consolidation agreement (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the closing, or on another mutually agreed date). It currently is anticipated that the effective time of the consolidation will occur in the third quarter of 2013, but we cannot guarantee when or if the consolidation will be completed.


Consideration to Be Received in the Consolidation

        As a result of the consolidation, each Union shareholder will have the right, with respect to each share of Union common stock held (excluding company-owned stock), to receive consolidation consideration consisting of 1.95 shares of Newco common stock, and each Riverview shareholder will have the right, with respect to each share of Riverview common stock held, to receive consolidation consideration consisting of one share of Newco common stock. No fractional shares of Newco common stock will be issued. For each fractional share that would otherwise be issued, Newco will pay an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the fraction of a share to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled and (ii) $10.75.


Treatment of Riverview Stock Options

        Each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase shares of Riverview common stock granted under any Riverview stock option plan, whether or not then exercisable, will be automatically converted, in its entirety, into an option to purchase shares of Newco common stock upon the same terms and conditions as the Riverview option.

        Under the terms of the consolidation agreement, Newco will assume and adopt the Riverview Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Option Plan (as so assumed, the "Newco Stock Option Plan"). Under the Newco Stock Option Plan, Newco may issue incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options of Newco common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Newco Stock Option Plan. Adoption of the consolidation agreement by the shareholders of Riverview and Union constitutes the adoption and approval of the Newco Stock Option Plan under the Internal Revenue Code, which adoption and approval shall be deemed effective as of the effective date of the Consolidation. The Newco Stock Option Plan shall terminate on, and no options shall be granted after, the tenth anniversary of such deemed effective date of the assumption and adoption of the Newco Stock Option Plan.


Representations and Warranties

        The consolidation agreement contains customary representations and warranties of Union and Riverview relating to their respective businesses. The representations must be true and correct in all material respects, as of the date of the consolidation agreement and as of the effective date as though made on and as of the effective date (except that representations and warranties that by their terms speak as of the date of the consolidation agreement or some other date must be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) . The representations and warranties in the consolidation agreement do not survive the effective time of the consolidation.

        Each of Riverview and Union has made representations and warranties to the other regarding, among other things:

    Corporate matters, including due organization and qualification;

    Capitalization;

    Authority relative to execution and delivery of the consolidation agreement and the absence of breach or violations of organizational documents or other obligations as a result of the consolidation;

    Initiate, solicit, induce or encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes, relates or could reasonably be expected to lead to an inquiry or proposal that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal (as defined below), respond to any such inquiry, participate in any discussions or negotiations with respect to such inquiry or recommend or endorse any such Acquisition Proposal; or

    Enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent regarding any Acquisition Proposal or authorize or permit any of its officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries or any representative to take any such action.

        However, Union may consider and participate in discussions and negotiations with respect to an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal if and only if (a) its annual meeting has not occurred and (b) Union complies with the terms of the agreement governing when and under what circumstances it may respond to an unsolicited offer; (c) its board of directors determines (after consultation with outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor) that failure to take these actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law and (ii) the Acquisition Proposal is an Acquisition Proposal that is deemed superior to the transactions contemplated by the consolidation agreement and provides the other party with notice of such determination within one business day thereafter. In addition, Union must (1) otherwise have complied in all material respects with the applicable sections of the consolidation agreement, and (2) not provide confidential information or data to any person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal unless the person has executed a confidentiality agreement on terms at least as favorable as the terms contained in the confidentiality agreement between Union and Riverview.

        Union has agreed:

    To notify Riverview within one business day after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any material change to any Acquisition Proposal, or any request for nonpublic information relating to it or any of its subsidiaries or for access to its properties, books or records or those of any of its subsidiaries by any person or entity that informs the board of directors that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, and to provide the other party with relevant information regarding such inquiry, proposal, modification or amendment;

    To keep Riverview fully informed of the status and details of any such proposal or inquiry and any developments with respect thereto; and

83


Table of Contents

    Not to release any third party from the confidentiality and standstill provisions of any agreement to which it or its subsidiaries is or may become a party and to take all steps necessary to terminate any approval that may have been given under any such provisions authorizing any person to make an Acquisition Proposal.

        Acquisition Proposal means any inquiry, offer or proposal as to any of the following (other than the consolidation between Riverview and Union) involving Union or any of its subsidiaries:

    Any transaction or series of transactions involving any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving it or any of its subsidiaries;

    Any transaction pursuant to which any third party or group acquires or would acquire (whether through sale, lease or other disposition), directly or indirectly, any assets of it or any of its subsidiaries representing, in the aggregate, twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the assets of it and each of its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis;

    Any issuance, sale or other disposition of (including by way of consolidation, consolidation, share exchange or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into, such securities) representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the votes attached to the outstanding securities of it or any of its subsidiaries;

    Any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any third party or group beneficially owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of equity securities of it or any of its subsidiaries; or

    Any transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions, or any combination of the foregoing.


Expenses and Fees

        In general, each of Riverview and Union will be responsible for all expenses incurred by it in connection with the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by the consolidation agreement. Riverview will be responsible for any of the expenses incurred by Newco.


Indemnification and Insurance

        The consolidation agreement provides that in the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation in which any person who is or has been a director or officer of Union or is threatened to be made party based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of or pertaining to (i) the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of Union or any of its subsidiaries or predecessors, or (ii) the consolidation agreement, Newco will defend against and respond thereto. Newco has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless each such indemnified party against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each party to the fullest extent permitted by law), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation. Newco will have no further obligation to any indemnified party when and if a court of competent jurisdiction ultimately determines, and such determination is final and non-appealable, that indemnification is prohibited by law or to any indemnified party that commits fraud. Newco's indemnification obligations continue after completion of the consolidation.

84


Table of Contents

        The consolidation agreement requires Newco to honor after completion of the consolidation the current rights of Union directors, officers and employees to indemnification under the Union articles of incorporation or the Union bylaws or similar governing documents. The consolidation agreement also provides that, upon completion of the consolidation, Newco will indemnify and hold harmless, and provide advancement of expenses to, all past and present officers, directors and employees of Union and its subsidiaries in their capacities as such against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, judgments or amounts paid in settlement to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.

        The consolidation agreement provides that Newco will maintain for a period of six years after completion of the consolidation Union's current directors' and officers' liability insurance policies, or policies of at least the same coverage and amount and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous than the current policy, with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective time of the consolidation, except that Riverview is not required to incur an annual premium expense greater than 150% of Union's current annual directors' and officers' liability insurance premium.


Conditions to Complete the Consolidation

        Our respective obligations to complete the consolidation are subject to the fulfillment or waiver of certain conditions, including:

    The adoption of the agreement and plan of consolidation by the requisite vote of each of the Riverview shareholders and the Union shareholders;

    The effectiveness of the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part with respect to the Newco common stock to be issued in the consolidation under the Securities Act and the absence of any stop order or proceedings initiated or threatened by the SEC for that purpose;

    The receipt of a legal opinion with respect to certain United States federal income tax consequences of the consolidation;

    The receipt and effectiveness of all governmental and other approvals, registrations and consents on terms and conditions, and the expiration of all related waiting periods required to complete the consolidation; and

    The absence of any law, statute, regulation, judgment, decree, injunction or other order in effect by any court or other governmental entity that prohibits completion of the transactions contemplated by the consolidation agreement.

        Each of Riverview's and Union's obligations to complete the consolidation is also separately subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions including:

    The absence of a material adverse effect on the other party; and

    The truth and correctness of the representations and warranties of each other party in the consolidation agreement, subject to the materiality standard provided in the consolidation agreement, and the performance by each other party in all material respects of their obligations under the consolidation agreement and the receipt by each party of certificates from the other party to that effect; and

    The holders of no more than 12% of the outstanding shares of common stock of each of Riverview and Union exercise dissenters rights.

        We cannot provide assurance as to when or if all of the conditions to the consolidation can or will be satisfied or waived by the appropriate party. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, we have no reason to believe that any of these conditions will not be satisfied.

Termination of the Consolidation Agreement

        The consolidation agreement can be terminated at any time prior to completion by mutual consent or by either party in the following circumstances:

    If there is a breach by the other party that would cause the failure of the closing conditions, unless the breach is capable of being, and is, cured within 30 days of notice of the breach and the terminating party is not itself in material breach;

    If the consolidation has not been completed by December 31, 2013, unless the failure to complete the consolidation by that date was due to the terminating party's material breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement under the consolidation agreement;

    If any court of competent jurisdiction or governmental authority issues an order, decree, ruling or takes any other action retraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consolidation (and such order, decree, ruling or action is final and non-appealable); or

    If the common shareholders of either Riverview or Union fail to adopt the consolidation agreement at their respective shareholder meetings.

        In addition, Riverview's board of directors may terminate the consolidation agreement if (1) the Union board of directors receives a superior Acquisition Proposal and enters into an acquisition agreement with respect to such proposal, terminates the consolidation agreement, withdraws its recommendation of the consolidation agreement, fails to make such a recommendation or modifies or qualifies its recommendation, in a manner adverse to Riverview, or delivers a written notice to Riverview of its determination to accept such proposal or (2) Riverview has received a superior Acquisition Proposal and has delivered a written notice to Union of its determination to accept such proposal.

        Further, Union's board of directors may terminate the consolidation agreement if (1) the Riverview board of directors receives a superior Acquisition Proposal and enters into an acquisition agreement with respect to such proposal, terminates the consolidation agreement, withdraws its recommendation of the consolidation agreement, fails to make such a recommendation or modifies or qualifies its recommendation, in a manner adverse to Union, or delivers a written notice to Union of its determination to accept such proposal or (2) Union has received a superior Acquisition Proposal and has delivered a written notice to Riverview of its determination to accept such proposal.

        Effect of Termination.     If the consolidation agreement is terminated, it will become void, and there will be no liability on the part of Riverview or Union, except that (1) both Riverview and Union will remain liable for any willful breach of the consolidation agreement and (2) designated provisions of the consolidation agreement, including the payment of fees and expenses, the confidential treatment of information and publicity restrictions, will survive the termination .


Termination Fee

        Union will pay Riverview a termination fee of $600,000 in the event that the consolidation agreement is terminated:

    By Riverview because Union's shareholders fail to approve the consolidation at the annual meeting and prior thereto, there has been a publicly proposed or announced alternative Acquisition Proposal for Union that is agreed to or consummated within 12 months following termination; or

    By Riverview because Union has received an alternative Acquisition Proposal, and Union (1) enters into an acquisition agreement with respect to the alternative Acquisition Proposal, (2) terminates the consolidation agreement, (3) fails to make, withdraws, modifies or qualifies its

86


Table of Contents

      recommendation of the consolidation agreement in a manner adverse to Riverview, or (4) delivers a written notice to Riverview of its determination to accept the alternative Acquisition Proposal; or

    By Union, if Union receives an alternative Acquisition Proposal and delivers a written notice to Riverview of its determination to accept the alternative Acquisition Proposal.

If the consolidation agreement is terminated because of a material default, the defaulting party must pay the non-defaulting party $350,000.


Amendment, Waiver and Extension of the Consolidation Agreement

        Subject to applicable law, the parties may amend the consolidation agreement by written agreement between Union and Riverview executed in the same manner as the consolidation agreement.

        At any time prior to the completion of the consolidation, each of the parties, by action taken or authorized by their respective board of directors, to the extent legally allowed, may:

    Extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party;

    Waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party; or

    Waive compliance by the other party with any of the other agreements or conditions contained in the consolidation agreement.


ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

        The consolidation will be treated as a business combination to be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed of Union will be recorded, as of the date of completion of the consolidation, at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair values of net assets acquired will be recorded as "goodwill". Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill is not amortized, but is assessed annually for impairment with any resulting impairment losses included in net income. If the net assets acquired exceed the purchase price, there will be no goodwill recorded and the resulting difference will be recorded as a bargain purchase gain. The results of operations of the combined entity (Newco) will include the results of Union's operations only after completion of the consolidation.


CERTAIN MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE CONSOLIDATION

        The following discussion addresses certain material United States federal income tax consequences of the consolidation to a shareholder of Riverview or Union who holds shares of common stock of Riverview or Union, as applicable, as a capital asset. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury regulations promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code, judicial authorities, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this discussion and all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to Riverview shareholders and/or Union shareholders in light of their particular circumstances and does not address aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be applicable to Riverview shareholders and/or Union shareholders subject to special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code (including banks, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting, investors in pass-through entities, Riverview shareholders

87


Table of Contents

and/or Union shareholders who hold their respective shares of common stock as part of a hedge, straddle or conversion transaction, acquired their respective shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, and holders who are not United States persons, within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code). In addition, the discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or foreign taxation. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain a position contrary to any of the tax aspects set forth below.

        Riverview shareholders and Union shareholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the particular United States federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the consolidation.

        The closing of the consolidation is conditioned upon the receipt by Riverview and Union of the opinion of Barley Snyder LLP, dated as of the effective date of the consolidation, substantially to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinion (including factual representations contained in certificates of officers of Riverview and Union) which are consistent with the state of facts existing as of the effective date of the consolidation, the consolidation will be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The tax opinion to be delivered in connection with the consolidation is not binding on the IRS or the courts, and neither Riverview nor Union intends to request a ruling from the IRS with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences of the consolidation. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. In addition, if any of the facts, representations or assumptions upon which such opinion is based are inconsistent with the actual facts, the United States federal income tax consequences of the consolidation could be adversely affected.

        Assuming that the consolidation will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, the discussion below sets forth the opinion of Barley Snyder LLP as to certain material United States federal income tax consequences of the consolidation to Riverview shareholders and Union shareholders.

        Neither a Riverview shareholder nor a Union shareholder will recognize gain or loss as a result of such shareholder's shares of Riverview common stock or Union common stock, respectively, being exchanged in the consolidation solely for shares of Newco common stock, except as described below with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Newco common stock. A Riverview shareholder's or Union shareholder's aggregate tax basis in shares of Newco common stock received in the consolidation, including any fractional share deemed received and exchanged as described below, will equal the aggregate tax basis of the shareholder's Riverview common shares or Union common shares, as applicable, surrendered in the consolidation. The holding period of the Newco common stock will include the holding period of the shares of Riverview common stock or Union common stock, as the case may be, surrendered in the consolidation, provided the Riverview or Union shareholder's common shares are held as a capital asset at the time of the consolidation.

        Cash received by a Riverview or Union shareholder in lieu of a fractional share of Newco common stock generally will be treated as received in redemption of the fractional share, and gain or loss generally will be recognized based on the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share and the portion of the shareholder's aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of Riverview or Union common stock, as applicable, surrendered that is allocable to the fractional share. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for such shares of Riverview or Union, as applicable, common stock is more than one year at the time of the consolidation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

        As parties to the consolidation, no gain or loss will be recognized by Riverview or Union solely as a result of consummation of the consolidation.

Table of Contents

         Tax matters are very complicated, and the tax consequences of the consolidation to each holder of Riverview or Union common stock will depend on the facts of that shareholder's particular situation. The discussion set forth above does not address all United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular holder of Riverview or Union common stock and may not be applicable to holders in special situations. Holders of Riverview or Union common stock are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences of the consolidation. Further, such discussion does not address tax consequences that may arise with respect to Newco by reason of any actions taken or events occurring subsequent to the consolidation.


SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General

        Each of Union and Riverview is a bank holding company subject to supervision and regulation by the FRB. In addition, each of Union Bank and Riverview Bank are subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the FDIC and PDB, and their deposits are insured by the FDIC. The FDIC must approve bank mergers, if the surviving bank would be a state chartered, non-member bank, as well as the establishment of new branches and new subsidiaries. Federal and state laws also impose a number of requirements and restrictions on the operations of Union Bank and Riverview Bank, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be made and the types of services which may be offered, restrictions on the ability to acquire deposits under certain circumstances, and requirements relating to the protection of consumers. The following sections discuss more fully some of the principal elements of the regulatory framework applicable to Union, Riverview, Union Bank and Riverview Bank. This discussion is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the statutes and regulations applicable to each of them and is subject to, and qualified by, reference to the statutory and regulatory provisions. A change in these statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, or the adoption of new statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, may have a material effect on Union's, Riverview's, Union Bank's and Riverview Bank's respective businesses.

Recent Enforcement Action

        On July 2, 2010, the board of directors of Union Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU, with the FDIC and the PDB. An MOU with regulatory authorities is an informal action that is not published or publicly available and that is used when circumstances warrant a milder form of action than a formal supervisory action, such as a formal written agreement or order. Among other things, under the MOU, Union Bank has agreed to address the following matters:

Dodd-Frank Act

        As a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which became law on July 21, 2010, there is additional regulatory oversight and supervision of Union, Riverview, Union Bank, and Riverview Bank. The Dodd-Frank Act significantly changes the regulation of financial institutions and the financial services industry. The Dodd-Frank Act includes, and the regulations being developed thereunder will include, provisions affecting large and small financial institutions alike, including several provisions that affect the regulation of community banks and bank holding companies.

89


Table of Contents

        The Dodd-Frank Act, among other things, imposes new capital requirements on bank holding companies; changes the base for FDIC insurance assessments to a bank's average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity, rather than upon its deposit base; permanently raises the current standard deposit insurance limit to $250,000; and expands the FDIC's authority to raise insurance premiums. The legislation also calls for the FDIC to raise its ratio of reserves to deposits from 1.15% to 1.35% for deposit insurance purposes by September 30, 2020 and to "offset the effect" of increased assessments on insured depository institutions with assets of less than $10 billion.

        The Dodd-Frank Act also includes provisions that affect corporate governance and executive compensation at all publicly-traded companies and allows financial institutions to pay interest on business checking accounts. The legislation also restricts proprietary trading, places restrictions on the owning or sponsoring of hedge and private equity funds, and regulates the derivatives activities of banks and their affiliates. The Dodd-Frank Act also establishes the Financial Stability Oversight Council to identify threats to the financial stability of the U.S. financial system, promote market discipline, and respond to emerging threats to the stability of the U.S. financial system.

Bank Holding Company Act

        Each of Union and Riverview are required to file with the FRB an annual report, other periodic reports, and such additional information as the FRB may require pursuant to the BHC Act. The FRB also makes examinations of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. The BHC Act requires each bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the FRB before it may acquire substantially all of the assets of any bank, or if it would acquire or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such a bank. The FRB considers numerous factors, including its capital adequacy guidelines, before approving such acquisitions.

The Community Reinvestment Act

        The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended, or the CRA, and the regulations promulgated to implement the CRA, are designed to create a system for bank regulatory agencies to evaluate a depository institution's record in meeting the credit needs of its community. The CRA regulations were completely revised in 1995 to establish performance-based standards for use in examining a depository institution's compliance with the CRA, referred to in this document as the revised CRA regulations. The revised CRA regulations established new tests for evaluating both small and large depository institutions' investment in the community. In connection with its assessment of CRA performance, the FDIC assigns a rating of "outstanding," "satisfactory," "needs to improve," or "substantial noncompliance." Union Bank received a "satisfactory" rating in its last CRA examination in April of 2012. Riverview Bank has never had a CRA examination. However, its predecessor bank, the First National Bank of Marysville, received an "outstanding" rating in its last CRA examination in May of 2005.

Dividend Restrictions

        Union and Riverview are a legal entities, separate and distinct from their respective bank subsidiaries, Union Bank and Riverview Bank. Declaration and payment of cash dividends by Union depends upon cash dividend payments to Union by Union Bank, which is Union's primary source of revenue and cash flow. Similarly, Riverview depends upon cash dividend payments to Riverview by Riverview Bank, which is Riverview's primary source of revenue and cash flow. Accordingly, the ability of Union and Riverview, and consequently the ability of Union's and Riverview's respective creditors and shareholders, to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of any subsidiary is necessarily subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary, except to the extent that claims of Union or Riverview in its capacity as a creditors may be recognized.

Table of Contents

        As Pennsylvania chartered banks, each of Union Bank and Riverview Bank are subject to regulatory restrictions on the payment and amounts of dividends under the Pennsylvania Banking Code. Further, the ability of banking subsidiaries to pay dividends is also subject to their profitability, financial condition, capital expenditures and other cash flow requirements.

        The payment of dividends by Union, Riverview, Union Bank and Riverview Bank may also be affected by other factors, such as the requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. The federal banking agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository institution's capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, a depository institution may not pay any dividend if payment would cause it to become undercapitalized or if it already is undercapitalized. Moreover, the federal agencies have issued policy statements that provide that bank holding companies and insured banks should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings. Federal banking regulators have the authority to prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying a dividend if the regulators deem such payment to be an unsafe or unsound practice.

Capital Requirements and Source of Strength Doctrine

        Union and Riverview.     Under the Dodd-Frank Act and FRB regulations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. In addition, in serving as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A bank holding company's failure to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will generally be considered by the FRB to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the FRB regulations or both. This doctrine is commonly known as the "source of strength" doctrine.

        The Federal banking regulators have adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies. Currently, the required minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) is 8% (10% in order to be considered "well-capitalized"). At least 4% of the total capital (6% to be well-capitalized) is required to be Tier 1 capital, consisting principally of common shareholders' equity, related surplus, retained earnings, qualifying perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain other intangibles. The remainder (Tier 2 capital) may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt, certain hybrid capital instruments and other debt securities, qualifying preferred stock and a limited amount of the general loan loss allowance.

        In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the federal banking regulators established minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for those bank holding companies which have the highest regulatory examination ratings and are not contemplating or experiencing significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4%.

        At March 31, 2013, each of Union and Riverview qualified as a "small bank holding company" and were, therefore, exempt from the foregoing regulatory capital standards. As a small bank holding company, the FRB will consider Union Bank's and Riverview Bank's capital position in determining the adequacy of Union's and Riverview's capital positions, respectively.

        Union Bank and Riverview Bank.     Enacted in 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, or FDICIA, contains provisions limiting activities and business methods of depository institutions. FDICIA required the primary federal banking regulators to promulgate

91


Table of Contents

regulations setting forth standards relating to, among other things, internal controls and audit systems; credit underwriting and loan documentation; interest rate exposure, off-balance sheet assets and liabilities; and compensation of directors and officers. FDICIA also provided for expanded regulation of depository institutions and their affiliates, including parent holding companies, by such institutions' primary federal banking regulator. Each primary federal banking regulator is required to specify, by regulation, capital standards for measuring the capital adequacy of the depository institutions it supervises and, depending upon the extent to which a depository institution does not meet such capital adequacy measures, the primary federal banking regulator may prohibit such institution from paying dividends or may require such institution to take other steps to become adequately capitalized.

        FDICIA established five capital tiers, ranging from "well capitalized" to "critically under-capitalized". A depository institution is well capitalized if it significantly exceeds the minimum level required by regulation for each relevant capital measure. Under FDICIA, an institution that is not well capitalized is generally prohibited from accepting brokered deposits and offering interest rates on deposits higher than the prevailing rate in its market; in addition, "pass through" insurance coverage may not be available for certain employee benefit accounts. FDICIA also requires an undercapitalized depository institution to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the appropriate federal bank regulatory agency. One requisite element of such a plan is that the institution's parent holding company must guarantee compliance by the institution with the plan, subject to certain limitations. In the event of the parent holding company's bankruptcy, the guarantee, and any other commitments that the parent holding company has made to federal bank regulators to maintain the capital of its depository institution subsidiaries, would be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to priority in payment.

        At March 31, 2013, each of Union Bank and Riverview Bank qualified as "well capitalized" under these regulatory capital standards.

Control Acquisitions

        The Change in Bank Control Act prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring "control" of a bank holding company, unless the FRB has been notified and has not objected to the transaction.

The USA Patriot Act

        The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2002, or the USA Patriot Act, gives the federal government powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures, expanded surveillance powers, increased information sharing, and broadened anti-money laundering requirements. Through amendments to the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act takes measures intended to encourage information sharing among bank regulatory agencies and law enforcement agencies. Among other requirements, the USA Patriot Act requires banks to establish anti-money laundering policies, to adopt procedures and controls to detect and report money laundering, and to comply with certain enhanced recordkeeping obligations and due diligence standards with respect to correspondent accounts of foreign banks.

Basel III

        On June 12, 2012, U.S. banking agencies issued three notices of proposed rulemaking, or NPRs, that would revise the current capital rules to implement the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III, commencing January 1, 2013. Two of the NPRs are applicable to Union and Riverview as well as the banks. The first, "Regulatory Capital Rules: Regulatory Capital, Implementation of Basel III, Minimum Regulatory Capital Ratios, Capital Adequacy, Transition Provisions and Prompt Corrective Action" applies to both the respective holding companies and the banks. If adopted, this NPR would increase the quantity and quality of capital required by providing for a new minimum

92


Table of Contents

common equity Tier 1 ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets and a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. This first NPR would also revise the definition of capital to improve the ability of regulatory capital instruments to absorb losses and establish limitations on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if additional specified amounts, or "buffers," of common equity Tier 1 capital are not met. This NPR would also establish a more conservative standard for including an instrument such as trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital for bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $15 billion or more as of December 31, 2009, setting out a phase-out schedule for such instruments beginning in January 2013.

        The second NPR, "Regulatory Capital Rules: Standardized Approach for Risk-Weighted Assets: Market Discipline and Disclosure Requirements," would also apply to both holding companies as well as both banks. This NPR would revise and harmonize the bank regulators' rules for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity and address weaknesses that have been identified recently.

        On November 9, 2012, the U.S. banking agencies announced that none of the three NPRs they issued in June 2012 would become effective on January 1, 2013. The banking agencies have not announced new effective dates for the NPRs.

Other Matters

        Federal and state law also contains a wide variety of other provisions that affect the operations of Union, Riverview, Union Bank and Riverview Bank, including, but not limited to, certain reporting and disclosure requirements; standards and guidelines for underwriting, account management and other aspects of lending activities; laws that prohibit discrimination; restrictions on establishing and closing branches; limitations on transactions with affiliates; restrictions on loans to insiders; and requirements relating to privacy and data security.

Effect of Governmental Policies

        Union's and Riverview's earnings are significantly affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of governmental authorities, including the FRB. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the FRB to implement these objectives are open-market operations in U.S. Government securities and federal funds, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These instruments of monetary policy are used in varying combinations to influence the overall level of bank loans, investments and deposits, and the interest rates charged on loans and paid for deposits. The FRB frequently uses these instruments of monetary policy, especially its open-market operations and the discount rate, to influence the level of interest rates and to affect the strength of the economy, the level of inflation or the price of the dollar in foreign exchange markets. The monetary policies of the FRB have had a significant effect on the operating results of banking institutions in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. It is not possible to predict the nature of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies, or the effect which they may have on Union's or Riverview's business and earnings.

Other Legislative Initiatives

        Proposals may be introduced in the United States Congress and in the Pennsylvania Legislature and before various bank regulatory authorities which would alter the powers of, and restrictions on, different types of banking organizations and which would restructure part or all of the existing regulatory framework for banks, bank holding companies and other providers of financial services. Moreover, other bills may be introduced in Congress which would further regulate, deregulate or restructure the financial services industry, including proposals to substantially reform the regulatory framework. It is not possible to predict whether these or any other proposals will be enacted into law or, even if enacted, the effect which they may have on Union's or Riverview's business and earnings.

        This joint proxy statement/prospectus is being furnished to Riverview shareholders by Riverview's board of directors in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Riverview's board of directors from the holders of Riverview common stock for use at the special meeting of Riverview shareholders and any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting.


Date, Time and Place

        The special meeting will be held on [    •    ], 2013 at [    •    ], local time, at [    •    ], subject to any adjournments or postponements.


Matters to be Considered

        At the special meeting, Riverview shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

        At this time, the Riverview board of directors is unaware of any matters, other than those set forth above, that may properly come before the special meeting.


Shareholders Entitled to Vote

        The close of business on [    •    ], 2013 has been fixed by Riverview's board of directors as the record date for the determination of those holders of Riverview common stock who are entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting.

        At the close of business on the record date there were [    •    ] shares of Riverview common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, held by approximately [    •    ] holders of record. A list of the shareholders of record entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available for examination by Riverview shareholders.


Quorum and Required Vote

        Each holder of record of shares of Riverview common stock as of the Riverview record date is entitled to cast one vote per share at the special meeting on each proposal. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Riverview common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the special meeting. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, in person and by proxy, at the meeting is required to approve the consolidation agreement. For all other matters to be considered at the special meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the special meeting is required for approval.


How Shares Will Be Voted at the Special Meeting

        All shares of Riverview common stock represented by properly executed proxies received before or at the special meeting, and not properly revoked, will be voted as specified in the proxies. Properly

94


Table of Contents

executed proxies that do not contain voting instructions will be voted "FOR" the adoption of the consolidation agreement and "FOR" the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies as included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

        If you hold shares of Riverview common stock in street name through a bank, broker or other nominee holder, the nominee holder may only vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you do not give specific instructions to your nominee holder as to how you want your shares voted, your nominee will indicate that it does not have authority to vote on the proposal, which will result in what is called a "broker non-vote." Under Pennsylvania law, broker non-votes will be counted to determine if a quorum is present with respect to any matter to be voted upon by shareholders at the special meeting of shareholders only if such shares have been voted at the special meeting on another matter other than a procedural motion. Abstentions are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but are not considered a vote cast under Pennsylvania law.

        If any other matters are properly brought before the special meeting, the proxies named in the proxy card will have discretion to vote the shares represented by duly executed proxies in their sole discretion.


How to Vote Your Shares

        Riverview shareholders may vote in person at the special meeting or by one of the following methods:

         Voting by Mail.    You may vote by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card. Your proxy will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you do not specify a choice on one of the proposals described in this joint proxy statement, your proxy will be voted in favor of that proposal.

         Voting in Person.    If you attend the meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person or may vote by completing a ballot which will be available at the meeting. If your shares are registered in the name of a broker or other nominee and you wish to vote at the meeting, you will need to obtain a legal proxy from your bank or brokerage firm. Please consult the voting form sent to you by your bank or broker to determine how to obtain a legal proxy in order to vote in person at the special meeting. Should you have any questions on the procedure for voting your shares, please contact Riverview's Chief Financial Officer, Terry Wasko, Riverview Financial Corporation, 200 Front Street, P.O. Box B, Marysville, PA 17053.


How to Change Your Vote

        If you are a registered shareholder, you may revoke any proxy at any time before it is voted by (1) signing and returning a proxy card with a later date, (2) delivering a written revocation letter to the Chief Financial Officer, or (3) attending the special meeting in person, notifying the Chief Financial Officer and voting by ballot at the special meeting. The Chief Financial Officer's mailing address is 200 Front Street, P.O. Box B, Marysville, PA 17053. If your shares are registered in the name of a broker or other nominee, you may later revoke your proxy instructions by informing the holder of record in accordance with that entity's procedures.


Solicitation of Proxies

        Riverview will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies from you. In addition to solicitation of proxies by mail, Riverview will request that banks, brokers and other record holders send proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of Riverview common stock and secure their voting instructions. Riverview will reimburse the record holders for their reasonable expenses in taking those actions. If necessary, Riverview may use several of its regular employees, who will not be specially compensated, to solicit proxies from Riverview shareholders, either personally or by telephone, facsimile, letter or other electronic means.

Shareholders of record can vote in person at the special meeting. If you are not a shareholder of record, you must obtain a proxy executed in your favor from the record holder of your shares, such as a broker, bank or other nominee, to be able to vote in person at the special meeting. If you plan to attend the special meeting, you must hold your shares in your own name or have a letter from the record holder of your shares confirming your ownership and you must bring a form of personal photo identification with you in order to be admitted.

RIVERVIEW SPECIAL MEETING—PROPOSAL NO. 1
ADOPTION OF THE CONSOLIDATION AGREEMENT

        Riverview is asking its shareholders to adopt the consolidation agreement. For a detailed discussion of the consolidation, including the terms and conditions of the consolidation agreement, see " The Consolidation ", beginning on page 37. As discussed in detail in the sections entitled " The Consolidation—Riverview's Reasons for the Consolidation ", and "—Recommendation of Riverview's Board of Directors ", beginning on pages 41 and 44, respectively, after careful consideration, the Riverview board of directors determined that the terms of the consolidation agreement and the transactions contemplated by it are in the best interests of Riverview and the board unanimously approved the consolidation agreement. Accordingly Riverview's board of directors unanimously recommends that Riverview shareholders vote "FOR" adoption of the consolidation agreement.


Required Vote

        Adoption of the consolidation agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock, in person or by proxy, at the Riverview special meeting for the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will, therefore, effectively act as a vote against the adoption of the consolidation agreement.


RIVERVIEW SPECIAL MEETING—PROPOSAL NO. 2
AUTHORIZATION TO VOTE ON ADJOURNMENT OR OTHER MATTERS

General

        If, at the Riverview special meeting, the number of shares of Riverview common stock, present in person or by proxy, is insufficient to constitute a quorum or the number of shares of Riverview common stock voting in favor is insufficient to adopt the consolidation agreement, Riverview management intends to move to adjourn the special meeting in order to enable the Riverview board of directors more time to solicit additional proxies. In that event, Riverview will ask its shareholders to vote only upon the adjournment proposal and not the proposal relating to adoption of the consolidation agreement.

        In this proposal, Riverview is asking you to grant discretionary authority to the holder of any proxy solicited by the Riverview board of directors so that such holder can vote in favor of the proposal to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies. If the shareholders of Riverview approve the adjournment proposal, Riverview could adjourn the special meeting, and any adjourned session of the special meeting, and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from shareholders who have previously voted.

96


Table of Contents

        Generally, if the special meeting is adjourned, no notice of the adjourned meeting is required to be given to shareholders, other than an announcement at the special meeting of the place, date and time to which the meeting is adjourned.


Vote Required

        Pursuant to Riverview's bylaws, the adjournment proposal requires affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast, in person and by proxy, at the Riverview special meeting for the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the vote on the adjournment proposal.


Recommendation of the Riverview Board of Directors

        The Riverview board of directors recommends a vote "FOR" the proposal to authorize the board of directors to adjourn the special meeting of shareholders to allow time for the further solicitation of proxies to adopt the consolidation agreement.


Riverview Affiliate Letter

        As of the record date, directors and executive officers of Riverview and their affiliates had the right to vote [    •    ] shares of Riverview common stock, or [    •    ]% of the outstanding Riverview common stock entitled to be voted at the special meeting. In accordance with the terms of the consolidation agreement, each of the directors and officers of Riverview has executed an Affiliate Letter in favor of Union pursuant to which he or she has agreed to vote all shares of Riverview common stock owned by him or her in favor of adoption of the consolidation agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Table of Contents

        On March 14, 2011, Riverview National Bank filed an application with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking to convert from a national banking association to a Pennsylvania state-chartered bank. The purpose of the charter change was to provide the Bank with greater flexibility in executing its strategy of profitability and growth. The conversion was effective November 19, 2011, at which time the Bank became known as Riverview Bank and its operating divisions Marysville Bank and Halifax Bank.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—December 31, 2012

        The following discussion summarizes Riverview's results of operations and highlights material changes for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and its financial condition as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. This discussion is intended to provide additional information about the significant changes in the results of operations presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for Riverview and its wholly owned subsidiary, Riverview Bank. Riverview's consolidated financial statements and results of operations essentially consist of Riverview Bank's financial condition

99


Table of Contents

and results of operations. Current performance does not guarantee and may not be indicative of similar performance in the future.

        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations analyzes the major elements of Riverview's consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements of Riverview and notes thereto and other detailed information for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 appearing on page 157 of this document.

        This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as Riverview's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Therefore, this analysis should be read in conjunction with the " Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements " on page 36.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        The consolidated financial statements include Riverview and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverview Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

        The accounting and reporting policies followed by Riverview conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets and results of operations for the periods indicated. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

        Riverview has adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that are consistent with general practices within the banking industry in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Riverview's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to audited consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2012.

        Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by Riverview that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. Riverview considers these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgment and assumptions used are based on historical experience and other factors, which Riverview believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made, actual results could differ from these estimates, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of its assets and liabilities and its results of operations.


Overview

        Riverview's results of operations are primarily derived from the management of net interest income, i.e. the difference between the interest received on its interest-earning assets and the interest paid on its interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in net interest income are not only affected by changes in interest rates, but are also impacted by changes in the make-up and volume of the balance sheet as well as the level of yield generated from interest-earning assets versus the costs associated with interest-bearing liabilities. Riverview also generates non-interest income from fees associated with various products and services offered to customers, mortgage banking activities, bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") and from the sale of assets, such as loans or investments. Offsetting these revenues are provisions for potential losses on loans, administrative expenses and income taxes.

        As of the 2012 year-end, Riverview recorded net income of $1,663,000, an increase of 6.5% from net income of $1,561,000 for the 2011 year-end. Basic earnings per share of $0.97 per share in 2012 increased 7.8% over basic earnings per share of $0.90 per share in 2011. Diluted earnings per share of $0.97 per share in 2012 increased 9% from diluted earnings per share of $0.89 per share in 2011. The increase in the earning per share was attributable to an increase in net income year over year as well as a decrease in outstanding common shares as a result of the common shares repurchased by Riverview under its Stock Repurchase program. The return on average assets was 0.56% as of the 2012 and

100


Table of Contents

2011 year-ends, respectively. Return on average equity was 6.20% in 2012 compared to 6.02% in 2011. The increase in this ratio was principally due to the increase in net income during 2012.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

        Riverview's profitability is largely a function of the spread between interest rates earned on earning assets and the interest rates paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Like most financial institutions, Riverview's net interest income and margin are affected by general economic conditions and other factors, including fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government that influence market interest rates and Riverview's ability to respond to changes in such rates. At any given time, Riverview's assets and liabilities may be such that they are affected differently by a change in interest rates. The change in net interest income from year to year may be due to changes in interest rates, changes in volumes of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as well as changes in the mix of such assets and liabilities.

        Riverview's principal interest-earning assets are loans to individuals and small businesses, with a secondary source of income earned from the investment securities portfolio and other interest-earning deposits with banks. Interest-bearing liabilities consist primarily of demand deposit accounts, time deposits, money market accounts, savings deposits and borrowings. Generally, changes in net interest income are reflected by net interest rate spread and net interest margin. Net interest rate spread is equal to the difference between the average rate earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the tax equivalent net interest income divided by total average earning assets. Net interest income growth is generally dependent upon balance sheet growth and maintaining or growing the net interest margin. For analysis purposes, net interest income is evaluated on a fully tax-equivalent ("FTE") basis. The FTE basis is calculated by grossing up the yield on tax-exempt securities and loans by the Federal tax rate of 34% in order that the yield on tax-exempt assets may be comparable to interest earned on taxable assets.

        Total interest income increased on a FTE basis by $575,000, or 4.5%, to $13,431,000 for 2012 from $12,856,000 for 2011. This increase was attributable to reinvesting funds from other interest-earning assets, which is the lowest yielding category of Riverview Bank's interest-earning assets, to fund loans, which is Riverview Bank's highest yielding asset category. Although the yield from total interest-earning assets decreased to 4.89% for 2012 from 4.99% for 2011, the increase of $17,223,000, or 6.7%, in the volume of total interest-earning assets, most of which is attributable to loan growth, was what contributed to the increase in total interest income year over year.

        Total interest expense decreased $502,000, or 13.6%, to $3,179,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $3,681,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Cost of funds decreased to 1.29% at the end of 2012 from 1.59% at the end of 2011. The decline in the cost of funds offset the 6.7% increase in the volume increase of average interest-bearing liabilities year over year.

        Net interest income calculated on a FTE basis increased $1,077,000, or 11.7%, to $10,252,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $9,175,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Riverview's net interest spread increased to 3.60% at December 31, 2012 from 3.40% at December 31, 2011, while its net interest margin increased to 3.73% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 3.56% for the year ended December 31, 2011. In consideration of the increased volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and a declining interest rate environment, management proactively managed the cost associated with interest-bearing liabilities to offset the decline in yields on interest earning assets.

Provision for Loan Losses

        Provisions for loan losses represent management's determination of the amount necessary to be charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that represents management's best estimate of the known and inherent losses in the existing loan portfolio. Credit exposures deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Recoveries of previously charged-off loans are credited to the allowance for loan losses. Riverview Bank performs periodic evaluations of the allowance for loan losses with consideration given to historical, internal and external factors. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, delinquency trends and charge-off activity, status of past due and non-performing loans, growth within the portfolio, the amount and types of loans comprising the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect a borrower's ability to pay, the estimated value of underlying collateral, peer group information and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are caused to undergo interpretation and possible revision as events occur or as more information becomes available. Loans are also reviewed for impairment based on discounted cash flows using the loans' initial effective interest rates or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans as provided under the accounting standard relating to Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan . After an evaluation of these factors, Riverview recorded a provision of $1,140,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared with $946,000 recorded for the 2011 year-end. The provision for 2012 was driven primarily by an increase in the historical loss ratios applied to loan pools due to an increase in net charge-offs year over year, along with an unallocated provision generally reflecting significant loan growth stemming from opening of new branches in Schuylkill County and commercial office in Berks County. The allowance for loan losses was $3,736,000, or 1.57% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2012, as compared to $3,423,000, or 1.72% of total loans at December 31, 2011.

Table of Contents

        Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loan losses, if necessary, in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2012 is maintained at a level that is adequate to absorb probable and potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. At the same time, management continues to allocate resources to continue to manage at-risk credits.


Non-Interest Income

        Non-interest income is an important component of net income for Riverview, representing 19.3% of the total revenues (comprised of net interest income and non-interest income) as of the 2012 year-end as compared with 15.2% as of the 2011 year-end. Non-interest income consists primarily of customer service fees and charges derived from deposit accounts, mortgage banking activities, the investment in bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") and gains from the sale of loans and available-for-sale securities.

        The following table presents the components of non-interest income and related fluctuations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

  $ 2,350   $ 767     48.5 % $ 1,583  
                     

        Total non-interest income increased 48.5% as of December 31, 2012 as compared with December 31, 2011 and was attributable to the following:

    The increase in service charges was due to the increase in deposit accounts;

    The increase in other service charges and fees reflected the impact of recording more servicing fees and ATM and interchange fees associated with increased transactional volume;

104


Table of Contents

    Earnings from the cash value of life insurance were lower in 2012 as compared with 2011 due to the receipt of additional income of $170,000 for 2011 from the proceeds of bank owned life insurance due to the unexpected passing of a director during the third quarter of 2011;

    The gain on the sale of available-for-sale securities was higher for 2012 because Riverview Bank sold more investment securities from its portfolio as compared with 2011. In addition, bond pricing was higher during 2012 as compared with 2011;

    The $118,000 loss recorded in 2012 reflected the write-down of two of the properties held by Riverview Bank as other real estate owned. This loss compares with the gain realized by Riverview Bank in 2011 from the sale of other real estate owned;

    The loss on the sale of other assets recorded in 2012 related to the write-down of a vehicle that was pledged as collateral for a loan. No such gains or losses were recorded in 2011; and

    Riverview Bank recorded more gains from the sale of mortgage loans during 2012 as a result of increased mortgage refinancing activity associated with lower interest rates as compared with 2011.


Non-Interest Expenses

        The following table presents the components of non-interest expenses and the related changes for the years ended 2012 and 2011:

Total non-interest expenses

  $ 9,066   $ 1,446     19.0 % $ 7,620  
                     

        The increase of $1,446,000, or 19%, in non-interest expenses was primarily attributable to Riverview Bank's overall growth. Specific expenses that had the greatest impact in increasing non-interest expenses included:

    During 2012, Riverview Bank opened two new branches in Schuylkill County and a commercial office in Berks County. Riverview Bank's expansion into these areas contributed to increased expenses in 2012 relating to salary and benefit expenses, occupancy and equipment expenses, higher telecommunications and data processing charges, and other general types of expenses;

    The lower FDIC premium expense was attributable to a change in the base assessment rate used in the calculation of the premium from domestic deposits to average assets;

    Bank shares tax expense for 2012 was higher than the 2011 expense as a result of increased stockholders' equity from the retention of increased net income in 2012; and

105


Table of Contents

    Increased professional service expenses were associated with higher legal costs relating to various special projects that occurred in 2012, which included the acquisition of a wealth management company.


Income Taxes

        The provision for federal income tax expense was $318,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $265,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The tax provision increased $53,000, or 20%, as a result of the increased level of net income achieved in 2012. The tax provision reflected an effective tax rate of approximately 16% for 2012 and 15% for 2011. The fact that there was no material change in the effective tax rate, considering that net income before taxes increased $155,000, or 8.5%, year over year, was attributable to the tax free income generated from certain investment securities, loans and bank owned life insurance, which offset the increased level of net income. Riverview's effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 34% due to tax-exempt interest income and non-taxable income from bank owned life insurance.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities

        Riverview's securities portfolio is comprised of securities, which not only provide interest income, including tax-exempt income, but also provide a source of liquidity, diversify the earning assets portfolio, allow for the management of risk and tax liability, and provide collateral for public fund deposits. Policies are in place to address various aspects of managing the portfolio, including but not limited to, concentrations, liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk and regulatory guidelines. Adherence to these policies is monitored by Riverview's Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO") which meets on a quarterly basis.

        Because of the changing nature of the banking environment and the need to position assets, all investment securities are characterized as available-for-sale and carried at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as a separate component of comprehensive income.

        The following table illustrates the composition of the securities portfolio for the periods presented.

  $ 45,101   $ 42,565  
           

        During 2012, Riverview Bank sold ten available for sale mortgage-backed securities and two state and municipal securities totaling $18,336,000, which resulted in a gain of $770,000 on a year to date basis as compared with 2011 when Riverview Bank sold ten available for sale mortgage-backed securities totaling $19,989,000 and realized a gain of $274,000 for the year. In 2012, Riverview Bank reinvested the proceeds from the sales by purchasing U.S. Government callable agency securities, U.S. Government mortgage-backed and CMO securities and additional state and municipal bonds. The sales and purchase transactions completed during 2012 were initiated as part of Riverview Bank's strategy to

106


Table of Contents

manage interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk inherent within the investment portfolio. Also during 2012, the outstanding balances of U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed and CMO securities declined because of scheduled payments, maturities and accelerated prepayments associated with low mortgage rates.

        Included in the carrying values of investment securities at December 31, 2012 is a net unrealized gain of $957,000, as compared to a net unrealized gain of $1,524,000 at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, the unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale, net of tax, included in shareholders' equity totaled $632,000, as compared to $1,006,000 at December 31, 2011. The net decrease in the 2012 carrying value of securities in the portfolio was reflective of pressure on investment security prices as a result of changes in interest rates on the long end of the Treasury yield curve.

        Riverview conducts a periodic review and evaluation of the securities portfolio to determine if any declines in the fair values of securities are other-than-temporary. If such declines were deemed to be other-than-temporary, Riverview measures the total credit-related component of the unrealized loss and recognizes that portion of the loss as a charge to current period earnings. The remaining portion of the unrealized loss is recognized as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income. The market value of the securities portfolio is significantly affected by changes in interest rates. In general, as interest rates rise, the market value of fixed-rate securities decreases and, as interest rates fall, the market value of fixed rate securities increases. No securities are considered other-than-temporarily-impaired based on management's evaluation of the individual securities, including the extent and length of the unrealized loss, Riverview's ability to hold the security until maturity or until the fair value recovers, and management's opinion that it will not have to sell the securities prior to recovery of value. Riverview invests in securities for the cash flow and yields they produce and not to profit from trading. Riverview holds no trading securities in its portfolio and the portfolio does not contain high risk securities or derivatives as of December 31, 2012.

        The following table presents the maturities and average weighted yields of the securities portfolio at fair value as of December 31, 2012. Yields are based on amortized cost.

All securities are available-for-sale and accounted for at fair value.

Weighted average yields are calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis assuming a tax rate of 34%.


Restricted Investments in Bank Stocks

        Riverview's investment in restricted stock is a required investment in the common stock of correspondent banks consisting of Atlantic Central Bankers Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB"). These stocks have no readily available market values and are carried at cost since they are not actively traded.

        In December 2008, the FHLB notified member banks that it was suspending the repurchase of capital stock and dividend payments to preserve capital. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2010 the

107


Table of Contents

FHLB announced its decision to repurchase excess capital stock and has continued to do so on a quarterly basis through the end of 2012. Since then, Riverview Bank has received $616,000, representing the repurchase of 6,157 shares from the FHLB, of which $168,000 was received in 2012. In early 2012 the FHLB announced the payment of a dividend to its member banks at an annualized rate of 0.10% based on Riverview Bank's average FHLB stock holding for the fourth quarter of 2011. During 2012, Riverview Bank received from the FHLB four quarters of dividends, totaling $2,599, with the dividend for the last quarter of 2012, representing an increase to 43 basis points, annualized.

        Management evaluates restricted stock for impairment based upon its assessment of the ultimate recoverability of the cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Management believes no impairment charge is necessary with regard to such restricted stock investments.


Loans

        The loan portfolio comprises the major component of Riverview's earning assets and is the highest yielding asset category. At December 31, 2012, total loans receivable (net of the allowance for loan losses, unearned fees and origination costs) amounted to $234,112,000, an increase of $38,086,000, or 19.4%, as compared with $196,026,000 as of December 31, 2011.

        Loans receivable, net of the allowance for loan losses, represented 73.3% of total assets and 86.9% of total deposits as of December 31, 2012, as compared to 68.2% and 79.6%, respectively, at December 31, 2011. All of Riverview's loans are to domestic borrowers.

Total loans, net

  $ 234,112         $ 196,026        
                       

        Loan growth for 2012 was attributable to Riverview Bank's expansion into the Schuylkill County and Berks County regions. Loan growth for the 2012 year-end as compared with the 2011 year-end was attributable to a 34.4% increase in commercial loans as well as increases in real estate loans, where commercial real estate loans increased 44.3%, and residential mortgages increased 1.5%. The limited percentage growth in residential mortgage loans was due to the fact that Riverview Bank sold mortgage loans to Freddie Mac on a service released basis so that not all of the mortgage loans originated remained as assets of Riverview Bank. The benefit of selling mortgage loans, as opposed to keeping such loans in the portfolio, resulted in the generation of fee income while eliminating interest rate risk associated with those loans. Going forward, Riverview Bank will continue to evaluate its options regarding residential mortgage loans in consideration of its relationships with its customers, the interest rate environment and overall economic conditions.

108


Table of Contents

        Riverview Bank takes a balanced approach to its lending activities and manages risk associated with its loan portfolio by maintaining diversification within the portfolio, consistently applying prudent underwriting standards, ongoing monitoring efforts with attention to portfolio dynamics and mix, and procedures that are consistently applied and updated on an annual basis. Riverview contracts with an independent third party each year to conduct a credit review of the loan portfolio to provide an independent assessment of asset quality through an evaluation of the established underwriting criteria used in originating credits. Separately, every loan booked and every loan turndown undergoes an audit review for conformity with established policies and compliance with current regulatory lending laws. Riverview has not lessened its loan underwriting criteria during this time, and management believes its underwriting standards continue to remain conservative.

        Other than as described herein, management does not believe there are any trends, events, or uncertainties that are reasonably expected to have a materially adverse impact on future results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.

        The following table summarizes the loan maturities and interest sensitivity for certain segments of the loan portfolio.

Credit Risk and Loan Quality

        One of Riverview's key objectives has been and continues to be to maintain a high level of asset quality. Riverview strives to proactively monitor credit risk and exposure to ensure and protect the quality of its loan portfolio. Credit policy requires that underwriting, loan documentation and credit analysis standards be met prior to the approval and funding of any loan. These practices have contributed to the strength and credit quality of Riverview's loan portfolio and have protected the portfolio during economic periods of uncertainty.

During the twelve months of 2012, Riverview Bank experienced a decrease in total non-performing loans due to a decrease of $846,000 in non-accrual loans and a decline of $842,000 in accruing loans past due 90 days. The decrease in non-accrual loans as of December 31, 2012 as compared with the 2011 year end was attributable primarily to foreclosure on properties securing several commercial loans to two unrelated customers.

        Riverview had $1,909,000 in real estate acquired through foreclosure as of December 31, 2012 as compared with $1,298,000 as of December 31, 2011. The foreclosed real estate as of the 2012 year-end consisted of two single family homes located in communities serviced by Riverview totaling $330,000, one residential development loan totaling $1,096,000, representing Riverview's purchased participation in a loan made by another financial institution to a now defunct developer, one commercial industrial/warehouse property totaling $271,000 and five one-to-four family residential investment properties totaling $212,000. The increase at December 31, 2012 from December 31, 2011 was due to foreclosure on one single family home, the commercial industrial/warehouse property, and the five one-to four family residential investment properties. These loans were all carried in the prior year as non-accruing impaired loans. Each of the foreclosed loans was marked to the appropriate realizable value, and at this time, no material loss is anticipated upon the ultimate sale of these assets.

        A loan concentration is considered to exist when the total amount of loans to any one or multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities or have similar economic characteristics, exceed 10% of loans outstanding in any one category. The following table presents loan concentrations as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

        Although such loans were not made to any one particular borrower or industry, the quality of these loans could be affected by the region's economy and overall real estate market. Although delinquency and non-performing loans have decreased during the year in these portfolios, the performance and loss ratio of these portfolios continues to be acceptable.

        Demand for commercial space was solid in 2012 in Riverview's market area. The marketplace showed continuing signs of improvement throughout the year with stable to improving vacancy rates and positive absorption in all classes of space during 2012. Riverview's non-residential market has not suffered the serious deterioration evident in certain other areas in the country. As such, management does not believe that this concentration is an adverse trend to Riverview at this time.

        Riverview's lending policy is executed through the assignment of tiered loan limit authorities to individual officers of Riverview and the Board of Directors. Although Riverview maintains sound credit policies, certain loans may deteriorate for a variety of reasons. Riverview's policy is to place all loans in a non-accrual status upon becoming 90 days delinquent in their payments, unless the loan is well secured and there is documented, reasonable expectation of the collection of the delinquent amount. Loans are reviewed daily as to their status. Management is not aware of any potential loan problems that have not been disclosed herein.


Allowance for Loan Losses

        The allowance for loan losses represents management's best estimate of the known and inherent losses in the existing loan portfolio. Management believes that it uses the best information available to make determinations about the adequacy of the allowance and that it has established its existing allowance for loan losses in accordance with U.S generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The determination of an appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses is based upon an analysis of the risks inherent in Riverview Bank's loan portfolio. Management makes significant estimates and assumptions in determining the allowance for loan losses. Since the allowance for loan losses is dependent on conditions that may be beyond Riverview Bank's control, it is at least reasonably possible that management's estimates of the allowance for loan losses and actual results could differ. In conjunction with an external loan review function that operates independent of the lending function, management monitors the loan portfolio to identify risks on a timely basis so that an appropriate allowance is maintained.

        Management closely monitors the quality of the loan portfolio and performs a quarterly analysis of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. This analysis considers a number of relevant factors, including historical loan loss experience, general economic conditions, levels of and trends in delinquent and non-performing loans, levels of classified loans, trends in the growth rate of loans and concentrations of credit. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available. Based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio, management presents a quarterly review of the allowance for loan losses to Riverview's Board of Directors detailing significant events that have occurred since the last review.

        The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to non-homogeneous loans that are classified as substandard or doubtful and deemed to be impaired. For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers homogeneous and non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. Management determines the unallocated portion, which represents the difference between the reported allowance for loan losses and the calculated allowance for loan losses, based generally on the following criteria:

    risk of imprecision in the specific and general reserve allocations;

111


Table of Contents

    other potential exposure in the loan portfolio, including covering the risks in the growing book of loans in the Schuylkill and Berks County regions;

    variances in management's assessment of national and local economic conditions; and

    other internal or external factors that management believes appropriate at the time.

        A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Riverview will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

        Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, Riverview does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless the loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

        As a result of management's ongoing assessment as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in consideration of the risks and trends associated with the loan portfolio, a provision of $1,140,000 was made to the allowance for loan losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 as compared with the $946,000 provision made for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. Management determined that the total of the allocated and unallocated allowance for loan losses was adequate to absorb any losses inherent in the portfolio. Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary, and the results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that material increases will not be necessary should the quality of the loans deteriorate as a result of factors previously discussed.

        The decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans as of December 31, 2012 as compared with December 31, 2011 was reflective of the reduced risk profile of the portfolio. Portfolio quality measurements, including past due, non-performing and the level of criticized/classified loans, all exhibited improvement year over year. Management continues to be attentive to potential deterioration in credit quality due to economic pressures and economic conditions in markets served by Riverview. Although management is proactive in identifying and dealing with credit issues that it can control, it anticipates that, going forward, additional provisions to its allowance for loan losses may be warranted as a result of economic factors it cannot control.

        The following table details the allocation of the allowance for loan losses to the various loan categories at December 31, 2012 and 2011. The allocation is made for analytical purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the loan categories in which future credit losses may occur.

        Real estate loans continue to represent the largest segment of loans for Riverview. Loan growth in 2012 was centered in commercial real estate loans resulting in a larger proportion of the allowance for loan losses shifting to this segment compared to the prior year. The unallocated allowance for loan losses remained stable year over year. Management determines the unallocated portion, which represents the difference between the reported allowance for loan losses and the calculated allowance for loan losses, based generally on the following criteria:

    risk of imprecision in the specific and general reserve allocations;

    other potential exposure in the loan portfolio, including covering the risks in the growing book of loans in the Schuylkill and Berks County regions;

    variances in management's assessment of national and local economic conditions; and

    other internal or external factors that management believes appropriate at the time.

        Management currently believes the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2012 is adequate in relation to the estimate of known inherent losses in the portfolio. Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary, and the results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that material increases will not be necessary should the quality of the loans deteriorate as a result of factors previously discussed. For additional information relating to impaired loans and loan classifications, refer to Note 4—Loans Receivable and Credit Quality for Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses—in the year-end audited consolidated financial statements and supplementary data incorporated herein.


Deposits

        Riverview generates and services deposits through Riverview Bank's traditional branch banking delivery system. Deposits are Riverview's major source of funds available for lending and other investment purposes. Total deposits at December 31, 2012, were $269,445,000, an increase of $23,103,000, or 9.4%, over total deposits of $246,342,000 as of December 31, 2011. Noninterest bearing deposits increased 9.3% at December 31, 2012 in comparison to 2011 year-end, and interest- bearing deposits increased $21,007,000, or 9.4%. In particular, savings and money market deposit accounts increased by 49.7% during 2012 in comparison to the 2011 year-end, with time deposits increasing by $4,531,000, or 4.8%. There was little growth in interest-bearing demand deposits year over year.

        The following table sets forth the average balance of Riverview Bank's deposits and the average rates paid on those deposits for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. All deposits are domestic deposits.

Borrowings

        Short-term borrowings are generally used to meet temporary funding needs and consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and overnight and short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB"). Short-term borrowings at December 31, 2012 totaled $11,000,000 and were comprised of borrowings under Riverview Bank's FHLB Open Repo Plus line. This balance compares with short-term borrowings of $893,000 at December 31, 2011, which were comprised of securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

        Long-term borrowings are generally utilized as a resource to fund growth. Riverview also considers the use of long-term borrowings as a means of managing its cost of funds. Long-term borrowings are summarized as follows:

    Long-term borrowings from the FHLB as of December 31, 2012 decreased to $7,550,000 from $10,678,000 as of December 31, 2011.

    Riverview has a secured closed-end line of credit for $2,000,000 with The Gratz Bank, Gratz, Pennsylvania. The outstanding amount borrowed under this line was $2,000,000 at December 31, 2012 as compared with $1,500,000 outstanding under this line at December 31, 2011.

    Riverview has a $3,000,000 secured guidance line of credit with ACNB Bank, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Riverview had no outstanding borrowings drawn against this line at December 31, 2012 or 2011.

        Additional information relating borrowings can be found in Note 8—Borrowings—in the year-end audited consolidated financial statements and supplementary data incorporated herein.


Shareholders' Equity and Capital Requirements/Ratios

        A strong capital position is fundamental to support continued growth. The net result of activity that affected shareholders' equity during the year resulted in an increase of $331,000 in total shareholders' equity, to $26,737,000, at December 31, 2012, from $26,406,000, at December 31, 2011. A summary of the transactions include:

    Net income of $1,663,000 generated in 2012;

    An decrease of $374,000 in the change of accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the net unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale;

    The payment of quarterly cash dividends to shareholders totaling $936,000 in 2012 reduced shareholders' equity.

    The recording of $43,000 in compensation cost associated with the granting of options.

    Repurchase of $65,000 in common stock under the Riverview stock repurchase program.

        Riverview places significant emphasis on maintaining strong capital levels. The goals for capital planning are to build a strong capital base to fund future growth, to support risks inherent in the banking industry, to retain earnings to meet regulatory requirements and to provide an adequate return to shareholders.

        Riverview meets the eligibility criteria of a small bank holding company in accordance with the Federal Reserve Board's Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement. Accordingly, Riverview is exempt from regulatory requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. However, Riverview Bank is subject to various regulatory capital adequacy requirements administered by the Federal Reserve Board. Current capital guidelines issued by federal regulatory authorities require Riverview Bank to meet minimum risk-based capital ratios in an effort to make regulatory capital more responsive to possible risk exposure related to a corporation's on and off-balance sheet items.

        Risk-based capital provides the basis for which all companies are evaluated in terms of capital adequacy. Risk-based capital guidelines redefine the components of capital and establish a risk-adjusted ratio relating capital to different categories of assets and off-balance sheet items. The components of risk-based capital are segregated as Tier I and Tier II capital. Tier I capital is composed of total stockholders' equity reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets. Tier II capital is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and any qualifying debt obligations. The minimum risk-based capital standards require all banks to have Tier I capital of at least 4% and total capital (which includes Tier I capital) of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets.

        Riverview Bank is also subject to leverage capital requirements. This requirement compares capital (using the definition of Tier I capital) to quarterly average balance sheet assets and is intended to supplement the risk-based capital ratio in measuring capital adequacy. The guidelines set a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for institutions that are highly rated in terms of safety and soundness, and which are not experiencing or anticipating any significant growth. Other institutions are expected to maintain capital levels of at least 1% or 2% above that minimum.

         Table 13 provides a comparison of Riverview Bank's risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Note:   Unrealized gains or losses on securities available-for-sale and goodwill and intangible assets are excluded from regulatory capital components of risk-based capital and leverage ratios.

        At December 31, 2012 and 2011, Riverview Bank exceeded the minimum regulatory capital requirements and was considered to be "well capitalized" under applicable federal regulations. Additional information relating to regulatory capital ratios can be found in Note 13—Regulatory Matters and Shareholders' Equity—in the year-end audited consolidated financial statements and supplementary data incorporated herein. Riverview Bank's total risk-based capital increased $831,000, to $28,064,000, at December 31, 2012 from $27,233,000 at December 31, 2011. The increase was attributable to Riverview Bank's 2012 earnings and a capital contribution of $500,000 made by

116


Table of Contents

Riverview. Although total risk-based capital increased 3.1% year over year, there was a decrease in the respective capital ratios because average asset growth outpaced capital growth. Average assets for leverage capital purposes grew $25,284,000, or 8.9%, to $310,064,000 as of the 2012 fourth quarter end from $284,780,000 as of the 2011 fourth quarter end.

        The maintenance of a solid capital foundation continues to be a primary goal for Riverview. An objective of the capital planning process is to effectively balance the retention of capital to support future growth while, at the same time, provide shareholders with an attractive long-term return on their investment. Management proactively monitors capital levels to ensure that they remain well in line with regulatory requirements, and attempts to position Riverview to be able to supplement Riverview's capital position, as necessary. Management believes that Riverview's capital position is adequate to support current operations and growth.

Prompt Corrective Action

        In the event an institution's capital deteriorates to the Undercapitalized category or below, FDICIA prescribes an increasing amount of regulatory intervention, including:

    Implementation of a capital restoration plan and a guarantee of the plan by a parent institution

    Placement of a hold on increases in assets, number of branches, or lines of business

        If capital reaches the significantly or critically undercapitalized level, further material restrictions can be imposed, including restrictions on interest payable on accounts, dismissal of management, and (in critically undercapitalized situations) appointment of a receiver. For well-capitalized institutions, FDICIA provides authority for regulatory intervention where they deem the institution to be engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, or if the institution receives a less than satisfactory examination report rating for asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity, or sensitivity to market risk.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        Riverview's financial statements reflect various off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. These commitments consist mainly of loans approved but not yet funded, unused lines of credit and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. At December 31, 2012, Riverview had unfunded outstanding commitments to extend credit of $34,658,000 and outstanding letter of credit of $ 1,749,000. Because these commitments have fixed expiration dates, and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily present significant liquidity risk to Riverview. Refer to Note 11—Financial Instruments with Off Balance Sheet Risk—in the year-end audited consolidated financial statements and supplementary data incorporated herein.

        Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations. Riverview has no investment in or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital resources.


Liquidity

        Liquidity refers to Riverview's ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet financial obligations to its customers in order to fund loans, to respond to deposit outflows and to cover operating expenses. Maintaining a level of liquid funds through asset/liability management seeks to ensure that these needs are met at a reasonable cost. Liquidity is essential to position Riverview to address fluctuations in the balance sheet and provide funds for growth and normal operating expenditures. Sources of liquidity are provided on a continuous basis through scheduled and unscheduled principal reductions and interest payments on outstanding loans and investment securities. Liquidity needs may also be met by converting assets into cash or obtaining sources of additional

117


Table of Contents

funding, whether through deposit growth, securities sold under agreements to repurchase or borrowings under lines of credit with correspondent banks.

        Liquidity from the asset category is provided through cash, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold, which totaled $16,202,000 at December 31, 2012 as compared to $28,155,000 at December 31, 2011. The decrease in liquid assets year over year was due to Riverview Bank reinvesting interest-bearing deposits with banks to fund loan growth during 2012. While liquidity sources generated from assets include scheduled and prepayments of principal and interest from securities and loans in Riverview's portfolios, longer-term liquidity needs may be met by selling securities available-for-sale, selling loans or raising additional capital. At December 31, 2012, unpledged available-for-sale securities with a carrying value of $13,304,000 were readily available for liquidity purposes, as compared with $17,055,000 at December 31, 2011. The decrease of $4,794,000 in unpledged available-for-sale securities was attributable to the increase in deposits that require pledging of investment securities.

        On the liability side, the primary source of funds available to meet liquidity needs is to attract deposits at competitive rates. Riverview Bank's core deposits, which exclude certificates of deposit $250,000 and over, were $255,427,000 at December 31, 2012 as compared to $241,980,000 at December 31, 2011. The increase in core deposits was the result of deposit growth attributable to Riverview Bank's Hometown NOW and money market deposit products. Core deposits have historically provided a source of relatively stable and low cost liquidity. Short-term and long-term borrowings utilizing the federal funds line and credit facility established with a correspondent financial institution and the FHLB are also considered to be reliable sources for funding. As of December 31, 2012, Riverview had access to two formal borrowing lines with its correspondent banks totaling $85,856,000, net of the aggregate amount outstanding on these lines totaling $18,550,000. These facilities are in addition to a $3,000,000 line with ACNB Bank.

        There are a number of factors that may impact Riverview's liquidity position. Changes in interest rates, local economic conditions and the competitive marketplace can influence prepayments on investment securities, loan fundings and payments, and deposit flows. Management is of the opinion that its liquidity position at December 31, 2012 is adequate to respond to fluctuations "on" and "off" the balance sheet since it manages liquidity on a daily basis and expects to have sufficient funds to meet all of its funding requirements.

        Except as discussed above, there are no known demands, trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that may result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in Riverview's inability to meet anticipated or unexpected needs.


Effects of Inflation

        The impact of inflation upon financial institutions can affect assets and liabilities through the movement of interest rates. The exact impact of inflation on Riverview is difficult to measure. Inflation may cause operating expenses to change at a rate not matched by the change in earnings. Inflation may affect the borrowing needs and desires of consumer and commercial customers, in turn affecting the growth of Riverview's assets. Inflation may also affect the level of interest rates in the general market, which in turn can affect Riverview's profitability and the market value of assets held. Riverview actively manages its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities countering the effects of inflation.

Under the Nasdaq Stock Market standards for independence, the following nine directors of Riverview meet the standards for independence: Messrs. Feld, Ford, Greenawalt, Hite, Hoover, Kerwin, Lebo, Schrantz and Troutman.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        No member of Riverview's compensation committee is or has been an officer or employee of Riverview or Riverview Bank. Also, during 2012, none of Riverview's executive officers served as a member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on Riverview's compensation committee. The members of the Compensation Committee are Joseph D. Kerwin (Chairman), David W. Hoover and John M. Schrantz. In addition, Robert M. Garst and Kirk D. Fox are ex officio members of the committee but do not participate in decisions or discussions regarding their own compensation.


Transactions with Related Parties

        Certain directors and executive officers of Riverview, and their associates, were customers of and had transactions with Riverview Bank in the ordinary course of business during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Similar transactions may be expected to take place in the future. Such transactions included the purchase of certificates of deposit and extensions of credit in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve more than the normal risks of collectability or present other unfavorable features. It is expected that any other transactions with directors and officers and their associates in the future will be conducted on the same basis. The Board of Directors must approve all related party transactions that are significant. In turn, the director or officer in question is excused from the Board meeting at the time the decision is made. The aggregate extensions of credit to all such persons, as a group, totaled $4.8 million at December 31, 2012.


Executive Compensation

        The following table summarizes the total compensation for Robert M. Garst, Riverview's Chief Executive Officer, Kirk D. Fox, Riverview's President, Brett D. Fulk, Riverview's Chief Operations Officer, and Theresa M. Wasko, Riverview's Chief Financial Officer, for fiscal year 2011 and 2012.

Employment Agreements

        Messrs Garst, Fox and Fulk are parties to three-year term evergreen employment agreements, while Mrs. Wasko is party to a one-year term evergreen employment agreement. On every anniversary date of each agreement, the employment period is extended automatically for one additional year, unless notice of nonrenewal is given. The agreements provide that the executives may participate in those employee benefit plans for which they are eligible. Each also provides that if the executive is terminated without cause or if after a change in control there is a reduction in salaries or benefits, or a change in their reporting responsibilities, duties or titles, the following will occur:

    Messrs. Garst and Fox will receive three times their annual compensation, as defined in the agreement, in 24 equal monthly installments beginning 30 days from their separation of service, and all non-cash benefits will continue for three years.

    Mr. Fulk will receive three times his annual compensation, as defined in the agreement, in 24 equal monthly installments beginning 30 days from his separation of service and will receive a continuation of all non-cash benefits for one year.

    Mrs. Wasko will receive one times her annual base salary, payable in 12 equal monthly installments. She will also be reimbursed for the monthly premium paid to obtain substantially similar employee benefits for 12 months following the date of termination of employment or until she secures substantially similar benefits through other employment, whichever occurs first.

        If the payments are determined to be parachute payments subjecting the executive excise taxes, the executive will receive an additional cash payment in an amount such that the after-tax proceeds of such payment will be equal to the amount of the excise tax.

        On January 24, 2012, the Employment Agreements of Messrs. Garst and Fox were amended and restated to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

        On November 16, 2011, Messrs. Garst and Fox signed Noncompetition Agreements. The purpose for the noncompetition agreements was to define the restrictions placed on the executives during and after their employment with the Corporation and the Bank in terms of being engaged in certain activities which may be considered to be competitive with the goodwill and proprietary rights of Riverview and Riverview Bank. In consideration of the executives entering into this agreement, Riverview Bank will:

    pay the executives $10,250 upon the execution of the noncompetition agreement;

124


Table of Contents

    provide the executives with a membership at a country club during their employment; and

    provide the executives with an additional $10,000 in supplemental term insurance during their employment.

        Riverview maintains an "Executive Deferred Compensation" program in which one of Riverview's executives participates, allowing the executive to defer payment of his base salary, bonus and performance based compensation until a future date. Under this agreement, the estimated present value of the future benefits is accrued over the effective dates of the agreement at an interest rate that is declared annually by the board of directors. Accordingly, the board of directors declared the interest rate to be 7.50% for 2012. The agreement is unfunded, with benefits to be paid from Riverview's general assets.


Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan

        Executive officers participate in the Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan, which is offered to all full-time employees who have completed at least one year of service and are at least 18 years of age. This plan is a means for employees to contribute and save for their retirement, and it has a combined tax qualified savings feature and profit sharing feature for employees. Riverview makes a contributory match to the plan for each participating employee of 4% of their compensation. Riverview may also make a discretionary contribution annually to the plan based upon Riverview's financial performance. This discretionary contribution is designed to award employees for contributing to Riverview's financial success. Contributions are expressed as a percentage of base salary, and executive officers receive the same percentage of base salary as all other employees. During 2012, the percentage of the discretionary contribution made to all eligible 401(k) participants was approximately 5%.


Stock Option Plan

        In January 2009, Riverview implemented a nonqualified stock option plan. The purpose of the 2009 Stock Option Plan was to advance the development, growth and financial condition of Riverview by providing incentives through participation in the appreciation of the common stock of Riverview to secure, retain and motivate Riverview's directors, officers and key employees and to align such person's interests with those of Riverview's shareholders. Effective January 4, 2012, shares of Riverview's common stock that may be issued under this plan may not exceed, in the aggregate, 220,000 shares at a weighted average exercise price of $10.60 per share. The vesting schedule is a seven year cliff, which means that the options are 100% vested in the seventh year following the grant date. The expiration date of all options is ten years following the grant date.


Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

        In 2008, HNB Bancorp implemented a supplemental executive retirement plan covering Kirk D. Fox, who at the time was an Executive Vice President of HNB Bancorp. The plan was assumed by Riverview after the consolidation of HNB Bancorp with First Perry Bancorp, forming Riverview. Mr. Fox will receive $44,000 per year for 15 years beginning upon his termination of employment after age 65. Upon his termination of employment, he shall become fully vested in the benefit, unless his termination is for "cause," as defined by the agreement.

        On January 6, 2012, a supplemental executive retirement plan was adopted by and between the Bank and Brett D. Fulk, Chief Operations Officer of the Bank, effective January 1, 2012. Mr. Fulk will receive $20,000 per year for 20 years beginning upon his termination of employment after reaching normal retirement age, unless his termination is for "cause," as defined by the agreement.

Nonqualified Defined Contribution and Other Deferred Compensation Plans

Defined Contribution Plan

        Riverview maintains a contributory 401(k) retirement plan for all eligible employees. Currently, Riverview's policy is to match 100% of the employees' voluntary contribution to the plan up to a maximum of 4% of an employee's compensation. Additionally, Riverview may make discretionary contributions to the plan after considering current profits and business conditions. The amount charged to expense in 2012 and 2011 totaled $258,000 and $199,000, respectively. Of these amounts, discretionary contributions approximated $168,000 and $115,000, respectively.


Director Emeritus Plan

        Effective November 2, 2011, a Director Emeritus Agreement (the "Agreement") was entered into by and between Riverview, Riverview Bank and the directors. In order to promote orderly succession of Riverview's board of directors, the Agreement defines the benefits Riverview is willing to provide upon the termination of service to those individuals who currently serve as directors of Riverview as of December 31, 2011, where Riverview will pay the director $15,000 per year for services performed as a Director Emeritus, which may be increased at the sole discretion of the board of directors. The benefit is paid over five years, in 12 monthly installments to a director:

    upon termination of service as a director on or after the age of 65, provided the director agrees to provide certain ongoing services for Riverview;

    upon termination of service as a director due to a disability prior to age 65;

    upon a change of control; or

        Riverview Bank maintains five Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") agreements that provide specified benefits to certain key executives. The agreements were specifically designed to encourage key executives to remain as employees of Riverview Bank. The agreements are unfunded with benefits to be paid from Riverview Bank's general assets. After normal retirement, benefits are payable to the executive or his beneficiary in equal monthly installments for a period of either 15 years for two of the executives and 20 years for three of the executives. There are provisions for death benefits should a participant die before his retirement date. These benefits are also subject to change of control and other provisions.

        Riverview Bank maintains a "Director Deferred Fee Agreement" ("DDFA") which allows electing directors to defer payment of their directors' fees until a future date. In addition, Riverview Bank maintains an "Executive Deferred Compensation Agreement" ("EDCA") with one of its executives. This agreement, which was initiated in 2010, allows the executives of Riverview Bank to defer payment of their base salary, bonus and performance based compensation until a future date. For both types of deferred fee agreements, the estimated present value of the future benefits is accrued over the effective dates of the agreements using an interest factor that is evaluated and approved by the compensation committee of the board of directors on an annual basis. The agreements are unfunded, with benefits to be paid from Riverview Bank's general assets.

        The accrued benefit obligations for all the plans total $673,000 at December 31, 2012 and $748,000 at December 31, 2011 and are included in other liabilities. Expenses relating to these plans totaled $88,000 and $94,000 in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        Riverview made a lump sum payment of $178,000 on January 3, 2012 in accordance with the terms of the DDFA of a director who passed away in mid-2011.


Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

        Messrs. Garst, Fox and Fulk as well as Mrs. Wasko are parties to employment agreements with Riverview which provide them with certain termination and change in control benefits. See "Employment Agreements" on page 124.

        Riverview maintains a "Director Deferred Fee Agreement" (DDFA) which allows electing directors to defer payment of their director fees until a future date. Under this agreement, the estimated present value of the future benefits is accrued over the effective dates of the agreement at an interest rate that is declared annually by the board of directors. Accordingly, the board of directors declared the interest rate to be 7.50% for 2012 for the Agreements with Directors Garst and Fox.

        A Director Emeritus Agreement (the "Agreement") effective November 2, 2011 was entered into by and between Riverview and its wholly owned subsidiary, Riverview Bank, and the directors. In order to promote the orderly succession of the board of directors, the Agreement defines the benefits Riverview Bank is willing to provide upon the termination of service to those individuals who currently served as directors of Riverview as of December 31, 2011, provided the director provides the services contemplated in the Agreement. The material terms of the Agreement are as follows:

    Riverview Bank shall pay the director or the director's beneficiary $15,000 per year, which may be increased at the sole discretion of the board of directors, for five years and paid in 12 equal monthly installments in the following circumstances:

    Upon termination of service as a director on or after the age of 65, provided the director agrees to provide certain ongoing services for Riverview Bank;

    Upon termination of service as a director due to a disability prior to the age of 65;

    Upon a change in control; or

    Upon the death of a director after electing to be a director emeritus.

Riverview Bank will not pay any benefits under the Agreement (1) to the extent limited by Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code or which would be prohibited as a golden parachute payment, (2) the director is terminated for cause, as defined in the Agreement, (3) the director is removed by Riverview Bank's regulator, (4) if the director engages in competition with Riverview Bank after termination of service, or (5) if the director commits suicide within two years after the date of the Agreement.

THE UNION ANNUAL MEETING

        This joint proxy statement/prospectus is being furnished to Union shareholders by Union's board of directors in connection with the solicitation of proxies from the holders of Union common stock for use at the annual meeting of Union shareholders and any adjournments or postponements of the annual meeting.


Date, Time and Place

        The annual meeting will be held on [    •    ], 2013 at [    •    ], local time, at Pottsville City Hall, City Council Chambers, 401 N. Centre Street, Pottsville, Pennsylvania 17901, subject to any adjournments or postponements.


Matters to be Considered

        At the annual meeting, Union shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

    1.
    Adoption of the consolidation agreement as described in detail under the heading " The Consolidation " beginning on page 37;

    2.
    Election of two (2) Class A directors for a term of three (3) years and until their successors are elected and have qualified;

    3.
    Ratification of the selection of ParenteBeard LLC as the independent auditors of Union for fiscal year 2013;

    4.
    Approval of a proposal to authorize the board of directors to adjourn the annual meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of adoption of the consolidation agreement; and

    5.
    Transaction of any such other business as may properly be presented at the meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the meeting.

        At this time, the Union board of directors is unaware of any matters, other than those set forth above, that may properly come before the annual meeting.


Shareholders Entitled to Vote

        The close of business on [    •    ], 2013 has been fixed by Union's board of directors as the record date for the determination of those holders of Union common stock who are entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the annual meeting.

        At the close of business on the record date there were [    •    ] shares of Union common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, held by approximately [    •    ] holders of record. A list of the shareholders of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting will be available for examination by Union shareholders.


Quorum and Required Vote

        The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Union common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the annual meeting. There must be a quorum for the annual meeting to be held. Abstentions are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but are not considered a vote cast under Pennsylvania law. Brokers holding shares in street name for their customers generally are not entitled to vote on certain matters unless they receive voting instructions from their customers. Such shares for which brokers have not received voting instructions from their

129


Table of Contents

customers are called "broker non-votes." Under Pennsylvania law, broker non-votes will be counted to determine if a quorum is present with respect to any matter to be voted upon by shareholders at the annual meeting only if such shares have been voted at the meeting on another matter other than a procedural motion.

        Each holder of record of shares of Union common stock as of the Union record date is entitled to cast one vote per share at the annual meeting on each proposal. Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

        The affirmative vote of holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of Union common stock entitled to vote at the meeting is required to adopt the consolidation agreement. Abstentions and broker non-votes that are counted only for purposes of determining a quorum will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

        The two (2) nominees for election as directors receiving the highest number of votes cast will be elected to the Union board of directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no affect on this proposal.

        Approval of each of the other proposals requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the meeting, in person or by proxy, except in cases where the vote of a greater number of shares is required by law or under Union's articles of incorporation. Abstentions and broker non-votes that are counted only for purposes of determining a quorum will have the effect of a vote against each of these other proposals.


How Shares Will Be Voted at the Annual Meeting

        All shares of Union common stock represented by properly executed proxies received before or at the annual meeting, and not properly revoked, will be voted as specified in the proxies. Properly executed proxies that do not contain voting instructions will be voted "FOR" the adoption of the consolidation agreement, "FOR" the election of the two nominees named in this document for director, "FOR" ratification of the independent auditors, and "FOR" the adjournment or postponement of the annual meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies as included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

        If you hold shares of Union common stock in street name through a bank, broker or other nominee holder, the nominee holder may only vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you do not give specific instructions to your nominee holder as to how you want your shares voted, your nominee will indicate that it does not have authority to vote on the proposal, which will result in what is called a "broker non-vote." Broker non-votes will not be deemed to have been voted on any of the proposals.

        If any other matters are properly brought before the annual meeting, the proxies named in the proxy card will vote the shares represented by duly executed proxies in accordance with the direction of the Union board of directors.


How to Vote Your Shares

        Union shareholders may vote at the annual meeting by one of the following methods:

        Voting by Mail.     You may vote by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card. Your proxy will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you do not specify a choice on one of the proposals described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, your proxy will be voted in favor of that proposal.

        Voting in Person.     If you attend the meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person or may vote by completing a ballot which will be available at the meeting. If your shares are registered

130


Table of Contents

in the name of a broker or other nominee and you wish to vote at the meeting, you will need to obtain a legal proxy from your bank or brokerage firm. Please consult the voting form sent to you by your bank or broker to determine how to obtain a legal proxy in order to vote in person at the annual meeting. Should you have any questions on the procedure for voting your shares, please contact Union's Secretary, Naomi Morrow Ost, 25 S. Centre St., Pottsville, PA 17901.


How to Change Your Vote

        If you are a registered shareholder, you may revoke any proxy at any time before it is voted by (1) signing and returning a proxy card with a later date, (2) delivering a written revocation letter to the Secretary of Union, or (3) attending the annual meeting in person, notifying the Secretary and voting by ballot at the annual meeting. The Union Secretary's mailing address is 25 S. Centre St., Pottsville, PA 17901. If your shares are registered in the name of a broker or other nominee, you may later revoke your proxy instructions by informing the holder of record in accordance with that entity's procedures.


Solicitation of Proxies

        Union will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies from you. In addition to solicitation of proxies by mail, Union will request that banks, brokers and other record holders send proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of Union common stock and secure their voting instructions. Union will reimburse the record holders for their reasonable expenses in taking those actions. If necessary, Union may use several of its regular employees, who will not be annually compensated, to solicit proxies from Union shareholders, either personally or by telephone, facsimile, letter or other electronic means. In addition, Union has engaged a professional proxy solicitation firm, [    •    ], to assist it in soliciting proxies for a fee of $[    •    ], plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

        Riverview and Union will share equally the expenses incurred in connection with the copying, printing and distribution of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.


Attending the Meeting

        All holders of Union common stock, including shareholders of record and shareholders who hold their shares through banks, brokers, nominees or any other holder of record, are invited to attend the annual meeting. Shareholders of record can vote in person at the annual meeting. If you are not a shareholder of record, you must obtain a proxy executed in your favor from the record holder of your shares, such as a broker, bank or other nominee, to be able to vote in person at the annual meeting. If you plan to attend the annual meeting, you must hold your shares in your own name or have a letter from the record holder of your shares confirming your ownership and you must bring a form of personal photo identification with you in order to be admitted. We reserve the right to refuse admittance to anyone without both proper proof of share ownership and proper photo identification.


UNION ANNUAL MEETING—PROPOSAL NO. 1
ADOPTION OF THE CONSOLIDATION AGREEMENT

        Union is asking its shareholders to adopt the consolidation agreement. For a detailed discussion of the consolidation, including the terms and conditions of the consolidation agreement, see " The Consolidation ", beginning on page 37. As discussed in detail in the sections entitled " The Consolidation—Union's Reasons for the Consolidation ", and "— Recommendation of Union's Board of Directors ", beginning on pages 57 and 61, respectively, after careful consideration, the Union board of directors determined that the terms of the consolidation agreement and the transactions contemplated by it are in the best interests of Union, and the board unanimously approved the consolidation

131


Table of Contents

agreement. Accordingly, Union's board of directors unanimously recommends that Union shareholders vote "FOR" adoption of the consolidation agreement.


Required Vote

        Adoption of the consolidation agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of Union common stock, in person or by proxy, at the Union annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will effectively act as a vote against adoption of the consolidation agreement.


UNION ANNUAL MEETING—PROPOSAL NO. 2
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        Section 10.2 of Union's Bylaws authorizes the number of directors to be not less than three. Within these limits, the board of directors may from time to time fix the number of directors. As of [    •    ], 2013, the Union board of directors consisted of seven directors.

        The Bylaws further provide for three classes of directors with staggered three-year terms of office. The terms of the classes expire at successive annual meetings of shareholders. In accordance with Union's Bylaws, the current term of office of directors of Class A will expire at the annual meeting to be held in 2013 and when their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. At each annual meeting, the successors to the class of directors whose terms will then expire will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of shareholders and when their successors are duly elected and qualified.

        The board of directors is proposing the following two (2) nominees for election as Class A Directors at the annual meeting of shareholders, to serve until the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are elected and qualified. The nominees listed below are the current Class A Directors, and they have consented to serve the three-year term as a director, if re-elected.

Naomi Morrow Ost
Daniel R. Blaschak

        Each of the nominees meets the qualifications for a director.

        Although Union does not anticipate that any of the nominees above will be unwilling or unable to stand for election, in the event of such an occurrence, proxies may be voted for a substitute designated by the Union board of directors. Further, if a director should be unavailable to serve for any reason, a majority of the Union board of directors then in office may select someone to fill the vacancy until the expiration of the term of the class of directors to which he or she was appointed.

        The proxy holders intend to vote their proxies " FOR" the election of the nominees named above, unless you indicate on the proxy that your vote should be withheld from any or all of them.


Required Vote

        The two nominees for election as directors to Class A receiving the highest number of votes cast will be elected to the board of directors. Shareholders are not entitled to vote cumulatively in the election of directors. Each share of Union common stock is entitled to cast only one (1) vote for each nominee. For example, if a shareholder owns ten shares of common stock, he or she may cast up to ten votes for each of the nominees for director. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no affect on this proposal.

Recommendation of the Union Board of Directors

         The Union board of directors recommends that shareholders vote "FOR" the election of the above-named nominees for Class A Directors.


UNION ANNUAL MEETING—PROPOSAL NO. 3
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

        The Union board of directors has selected ParenteBeard LLC to act as Union's independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2013. The board of directors proposes that Union shareholders ratify this selection.


Required Vote

        The ratification of the selection of the independent auditors requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the meeting, in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes that are counted only for purposes of determining a quorum will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.


Recommendation of the Union Board of Directors

         The Union board of directors recommends that shareholders vote "FOR" the ratification of the selection of ParenteBeard LLC as Union's independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2013.


UNION ANNUAL MEETING—PROPOSAL NO. 4
AUTHORIZATION TO VOTE ON ADJOURNMENT OR OTHER MATTERS

General

        If, at the Union annual meeting, the number of shares of Union common stock, present in person or by proxy, is insufficient to constitute a quorum, or the number of shares of Union common stock voting in favor is insufficient to adopt the consolidation agreement, Union management intends to move to adjourn the annual meeting in order to enable the Union board of directors more time to solicit additional proxies in favor of adoption of the consolidation agreement. In that event, Union will ask its shareholders to vote only upon the adjournment proposal and not the proposal relating to adoption of the consolidation agreement.

        In this proposal, Union is asking you to grant discretionary authority to the holder of any proxy solicited by the Union board of directors so that such holder can vote in favor of the proposal to adjourn the annual meeting to solicit additional proxies. If the shareholders of Union approve the adjournment proposal, Union could adjourn the annual meeting, and any adjourned session of the annual meeting, and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from shareholders who have previously voted.

        Generally, if the annual meeting is adjourned, no notice of the adjourned meeting is required to be given to shareholders, other than an announcement at the annual meeting of the place, date and time to which the meeting is adjourned.


Required Vote

        Pursuant to Union's bylaws, the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person and by proxy, at the Union annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes that are counted only for purposes of determining a quorum will effectively act as a vote against the adjournment proposal.

133


Table of Contents


Recommendation of the Union Board of Directors

         The Union board of directors recommends a vote "FOR" the proposal to authorize the board of directors to adjourn the annual meeting of shareholders to allow time for the further solicitation of proxies to adopt the consolidation agreement.


Union Affiliate Letter

        As of the record date, directors and executive officers of Union and their affiliates had the right to vote [    •    ] shares of Union common stock, or [    •    ]% of the outstanding Union common stock entitled to be voted at the annual meeting. In accordance with the terms of the consolidation agreement, each of the directors and officers of Union has executed a letter agreement, commonly known as an affiliate letter, in favor of Riverview pursuant to which he or she has agreed to vote all shares of Union common stock owned by him or her in favor of adoption of the consolidation agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Results of Operations

Summary of Financial Results

        For the year ended December 31, 2012, Union recorded an after-tax net loss of $27,000, or ($0.05) per share, which was a decrease in loss of approximately $890,000 as compared to the $918,000 after-tax net loss, or ($1.81) per share recorded for the same period in 2011. The decrease in net loss was the result of decreases in the provision for loan losses, other non-interest expenses and income tax expense. Net interest income decreased by approximately $382,000 as a result of declining interest rates and growth in interest-bearing liabilities. Non-interest income increased approximately $59,000 due mainly to gains taken on the sale of investment securities. Non-interest expenses decreased approximately $804,000 due to decreases in non-recurring facility closing expenses, salaries and benefits, occupancy expenses, equipment expenses, ATM expenses and core deposit intangible amortization expense. The provision for loan losses decreased $130,000 which was attributable to improvement in the portfolio during 2012. See the Provision for Loan Losses section below for the discussion on Union's allowance for loan losses. Income tax expense decreased due to the decrease in valuation allowance recorded for the year ended December 31, 2012 for low income housing credits, carryforwards, charitable contributions, and capital loss limitation because it is more likely than not that these items will be realized, partially offset by the increase in pre-tax income from a pre-tax loss of $346,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 to a pre-tax income of $265,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. For key performance ratios for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, see the Selected Historical Financial Data section of this registration statement.

Net Interest Income

        Net interest income decreased $382,000, or 8.4%, to $4.1 million in 2012 from $4.5 million in 2011 due to decreases in interest rates on earning assets, increases in interest-bearing liabilities and compression of the net interest margin. Net interest income is generated from Union's lending and investment activities, and is the most significant component of earnings. Net interest income is the difference between interest and rate-related fee income on earning assets (primarily loans and investment securities) and the interest paid on the deposits supporting them. Union principally utilizes deposits to fund loans and investments. In order to fund operations in future periods the organization may utilize short-term and long-term borrowings, including borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and federal funds lines with correspondent banks, based on the prevailing economic conditions, deposit availability and pricing, interest rates and other factors at such time.

        The following table provides a comparative average balance sheet and net interest income analysis for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011. Interest income and

        Interest income decreased $360,000, or 7.3%, which was caused by a $1,058,000, or 1.0%, decrease in the average balance of interest earning-assets as compared to 2011. The average interest rate on interest-earning assets decreased by 29 basis points driving an overall rate related decrease to interest income of $267,000.

        Average yields on loans decreased by 13 basis points, or 2.5%, to 5.02% in 2012 from 5.15% in 2011. The decrease is reflective of the reduced interest rate environment over the past year and local competition. Average yields did not decrease as severely as the aforementioned rates since fixed rate loans, which represent approximately 81.7% of total loans at December 31, 2012, do not immediately re-price when short-term rates decline.

        Interest expense increased $22,000, or 5.3%, which was caused by a $1.5 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities as compared to 2011, coupled with an increase in the average interest rate paid on liabilities of two basis points.

        Going into 2013, Union expects an increase in its overall level of net interest income as a result of continued focus on strong growth in net interest-earning assets.

Provision for Loan Losses and Allowance for Loan Losses

        The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income as losses are estimated to have occurred. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

        The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) FASB ASC Topic 310, Receivables , which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (ii) FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies , which requires that losses be accrued when the loan has become impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Union will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured as the difference between a loan's carried value on the balance sheet and its fair market value. Based on the nature of the loan, its fair value reflects one of the following three measures: (i) the fair market value of collateral; (II) the present value of the expected future cash flows; or (iii) the loan's value as observable in the secondary market. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include the payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. The provision for loan losses included in the statements of operations serves to maintain the allowance at a level management considers adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to pay, the estimated value on any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.

        The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard, or special mention under Union's internal criteria for classification. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the fair value of the impaired loan is lower that the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans that have been segmented into groups with similar characteristics and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

        The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2012 equaled $620,000, a decrease of $130,000, or 17.3%, from 2011. The decrease in the provision for loan losses relates to improvement in net charge-offs because of increased recoveries and improvement in the quality of the loan portfolio.

        The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans as of December 31, 2012 was negatively impacted by inclusion of one loan totaling $4.5 million, which includes an 80% guarantee issued by the United States Department of Agriculture.

Non-Interest Income

        Non-interest income was $1.22 million and $1.16 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The $59,000 increase was attributable to the increase in the gain on sale of investment securities which increased $229,000, partially offset by decreases in service charges, trust department commissions and other non-interest income.

Non-Interest Expense

        Non-interest expense was $4.5 million and $5.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The $804,000 decrease was mostly attributable to decreases in salaries and benefits, occupancy expense, equipment expense, ATM network expense and core deposit intangible amortization expense, which decreased $65,000, $75,000, $12,000, $28,000 and $93,000, respectively. Additionally, there were $554,000 in non-recurring facility closing expenses incurred in 2011.

        Union management utilizes the operating efficiency ratio as a key productivity measure. This ratio demonstrates the operating efficiency of an organization by comparing net non-interest expenses to the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. For the year ended December 31, 2012, Union achieved an operating efficiency ratio of 89.2%, compared to 97.0% for the same period in 2011. Union's operating efficiency ratio remains above its peer group banks due to the number of branches which generates higher non-interest expense.

Income Tax Expense

        Income tax expense was $292,000 and $572,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The statutory tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2012 was 34%. Income tax expense decreased due to the decrease in valuation allowance recorded for the year ended

December 31, 2012 for low income housing credits, carryforwards, charitable contributions, and capital loss limitation because it is more likely than not that these items will be realized, partially offset by the increase in pre-tax income from a pre-tax loss of $346,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 to a pre-tax income of $265,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

        Union recorded a net deferred tax asset of $666,000 with a valuation allowance of $1,807,000 as of December 31, 2012. The valuation allowance is used to reduce the carrying value of the net deferred tax assets carried in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Valuation allowances are provided for deferred tax assets when in management's judgment a portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. For additional detail on the components of the deferred tax asset, see Note 7, "Income Taxes," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


Financial Condition

        Total assets increased by $11.5 million, or 10.2% at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011.

Loans Net of Unearned Income

        Union's loan balance, net of unearned income grew by $4.8 million during 2012. This growth was represented mainly in the real estate mortgage loans, reflecting a continuing commitment to the credit needs of our local market. See the table below for a detail of the loan balances, net of unearned income at December 31, 2012 and the changes from December 31, 2011.

        As of December 31, 2012, the portfolio included loans to health care facilities which constituted approximately 47.7% of total capital. While this level exceeds the threshold for determining a concentration of credit, Union does not consider this level to be a concentration of credit because 80% of the largest loan, which is $4.5 million, is guaranteed by the USDA. Additionally, the loan portfolio does not include concentrations of credit risk in residential loan products with high loan-to-value ratios. Union's balance of unsecured loans represented $2.5 million, or 3.3%, of the total outstanding loan balance at December 31, 2012. Union sold over $13.3 million in loan participations without recourse to unaffiliated banks at December 31, 2012. Union also purchased loan participations totaling $1.2 million during the year ended 2012. Union expects the loan portfolio to continue to grow in 2013, as it focuses on serving the credit needs of its market areas, while exercising prudent underwriting standards considering the economic uncertainties that are expected to continue.

        At December 31, 2012, the nonperforming loans consisted of $4.5 million of commercial real estate loans, $82,000 of mortgage loans, and $58,000 of home equity loans. One loan totaling $4.5 million was greater than 90 days past due and on nonaccrual as of December 31, 2012; however, that loan includes an 80% guarantee issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. Union's Loan Committee and management has performed a detailed review of the nonperforming loans and of their related collateral and believe the allowance for loan losses remains adequate for the level of risk inherent in the loan portfolio. Overall, asset quality, as measured in terms of nonperforming assets to total assets, coverage ratios and nonperforming assets to stockholders' equity, remains adequate.

Investments in Securities

        Available for sale securities increased by $3.0 million, or 10.7%, due to normal reinvestments from deposit growth. The securities available for sale portfolio is comprised of U.S. Treasuries, Government Agencies, Mortgaged-Backed Securities, Collateralized Mortgage Obligations, municipal bonds, corporate securities and a trust preferred security. The securities held at December 31, 2012 had an average tax-effected yield of 2.7% with an average life to maturity of five years.

Premises and Equipment, Net

        During 2012, premises and equipment increased $45,000, or 3.9%, from $1,167,000 at December 31, 2011 to $1,212,000 at December 31, 2012. The increase was due to $138,000 in equipment and facility purchases, computer software purchases and building improvements offset by a decrease related to depreciation on existing assets of $93,000.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.6 million, or 38.7%, due to the daily fluctuations that resulted in the normal course of business. When analyzed in terms of average balances, cash and cash equivalents increased $2,019,000, or 20.7%, in 2012. See the "Liquidity" section contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis for further discussion on cash activity.

Stockholders' Equity and Capital Adequacy

        The stockholders' equity declined $85,000, or 0.79%, from $10.8 million at December 31, 2011 to $10.7 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease can be attributed to a loss of $27,000 due to a decrease in tax deferred expense and a $58,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income due mainly to an increase in the unfunded pension liability which was offset by net unrealized gains in the investment portfolio.

        Union Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare due to regulatory considerations. The Pennsylvania Banking Code provides that cash dividends may be declared and paid only out of accumulated net earnings. Union is committed to driving shareholder value so that future earnings will be available for dividend distributions to shareholders.

        Refer to Notes 15 and 16, "Regulatory Restrictions" and "Capital Adequacy" in the December 31, 2012 Notes to consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of capital adequacy at Union Bancorp and Union Bank.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

        Union actively manages its interest rate sensitivity position. Interest rate sensitivity is the matching or mismatching of the re-pricing structure of the interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Union's primary objectives of interest rate risk management are to neutralize adverse impacts to net interest income arising from interest rate movements, maintain the economic value of equity and to attain sustainable growth in net interest income. The Asset Liability Committee ("ALCO") is primarily responsible for developing and implementing asset liability management strategies in accordance with the Board approved Asset and Liability Policy and Procedures. The ALCO generally meets on a quarterly basis and is comprised of members of Union's senior management team and Board of Directors.

        Union manages interest rate sensitivity by changing the volume, mix, pricing and repricing characteristics of its assets and liabilities. Union has not entered into derivative contracts such as interest rate swaps, caps, and floors.

        At December 31, 2012, Union reported an investment portfolio of approximately $31.1 million and a loan portfolio of approximately $73.9 million.

        The investment portfolio was comprised of $1.8 million of United States Treasury obligations maturing within the next two years, $13.0 million of municipal obligations with various maturities, $1.7 million of corporate notes with various maturities, $7.3 million of government agency securities with various maturities and $7.3 million of other debt obligations. The investment portfolio is principally used to: (a) satisfy collateral requirements of certain public deposits accepted by Union and (b) provide a source of funding for liquidity needs.

        The interest rate characteristics and maturity structure compositions of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2012 are set forth in the tables below.

        Union uses several tools to assess and measure its interest rate risk including interest rate simulation analysis that is prepared on a quarterly basis.

        Gap Analysis.     Union uses gap analysis to compare the relationship of assets that are expected to reprice during a specific time frame ("Rate Sensitive Assts" or "RSA") as compared to liabilities that are scheduled to reprice during an identical time period ("Rate Sensitive Liabilities or "RSL"). When the ratio is greater than one, RSA exceed RSL and potentially exposes the bank to a risk of a decline in interest rates by virtue of a larger amount of assets repricing at lower interest rates than rate sensitive liabilities. The converse would be true of a RSA/RSL ratio less than 1.0. While gap analysis can be useful in evaluating the relationship of RSA to RSL, it does not capture other critical interest rate variables such as the extent of change that will take place when a RSA or RSL reprices.

        Net Interest Income at Risk.     Union assesses the percentage change in net interest income assuming interest rate shocks (upward and downward) of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points. This analysis captures the timing of the pricing of RSA and RSL as well as the degree of change ("beta") in the interest rates of particular asset and liability products that occurs as interest rates move upward or downward.

        Economic Value of Equity at Risk.     Union assesses the present value of cash inflows of cash, investments and loans, netted against the present value of cash outflows from deposits and other interest bearing liabilities, all discounted from their repricing dates to a measurement date. This measure is expressed as the percentage change in the present value of such cash flows when interest rates are shocked (upward and downward) at 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points.

        Each analysis is largely dependent on many assumptions and variables with past behaviors that may not prove to be effective predictors of future outcomes. These assumptions are reviewed on at least a quarterly basis.

        Under the Asset and Liability Management Policy and Procedures, the interest rate simulation reports specific measures:

    The ratio of rate sensitive asset to rate sensitive liabilities at a one-year time frame;

    The percentage change in net interest income for one and two years assuming interest rate shocks of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points;

    The percentage change in economic value of equity at risk assuming interest rate shocks of 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points.

This ratio is similar to that of December 31, 2011 indicating that assets and liabilities within one year are reasonably matched. Also, as of December 31, 2011, net interest income and economic value of equity at risk were within policy guidelines with the exception of rates falling 300 and 400 basis points which were not likely scenarios at that time.

        As of December 31, 2012, approximately 18.3% of Union's loan portfolio was comprised of variable rate loans. Subject to the protections of interest rate floors and caps the variable rate loan portfolio generally re-prices immediately upon movements of the prime rate. Accordingly, Union is subject to a risk of declining interest rates over time periods less than one year.

        The interest rate simulation test results indicate levels of future interest rate risk were within the acceptable parameters per the policies established by ALCO except where noted. Management continues to evaluate strategies in conjunction with Union's ALCO to effectively manage the interest rate position. Such strategies could include altering the mix of loan and deposits by product or utilizing risk management instruments such as caps and floors.


Liquidity

        Union manages its liquidity position on a daily basis as part of the daily settlement function and continually as part of the formal asset liability management process. Union's liquidity is maintained by managing several variables including, but not limited to:

    Pricing and dollar amount of core deposit products;

    Pricing and dollar amount of in-market deposits;

145


Table of Contents

    Growth of the loan portfolio (including the sale of loans on a participation basis);

    Purchase and sale of federal funds

    Purchase and sale of investment securities

    Use of borrowing capacity at FHLB

        Management also maintains a detailed liquidity contingency plan designed to respond to an overall decline in the condition of the banking industry or a problem specific to Union. On a quarterly basis, the ALCO reviews a comprehensive liquidity analysis along with any changes to the liquidity contingency plan.

        Union's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows provide additional information on its sources and uses of funds. From a funding standpoint, we have been able to rely on a base of strong in-market deposit growth. Union generated $1.2 million in cash from operating activities in 2012 versus $1.3 million generated in 2011. Investing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $8.6 million primarily due to the purchase of investment securities and loan growth. There was a net increase in loans of $5.5 million and purchases of securities of $19.3 million. This outflow was partially offset by proceeds of sales of securities and maturities of securities of $16.7 million. Financing activities resulted in a net inflow of $11.0 million and was completely attributable to deposit growth.

        At December 31, 2012, liquid assets (defined as cash and cash equivalents, loans held for sale and securities available for sale) totaled $44.2 million or approximately 36% of total assets. This compares to $37.5 million or approximately 33% of total assets at December 31, 2011.

        Union maintains secondary sources of liquidity which can be drawn upon if needed. These sources of liquidity include borrowing capacity at the FHLB and a secured line of credit at an unaffiliated bank. At December 31, 2012, Union had a maximum borrowing capacity at the FHLB of $34,456,000.

        Union did not have any outstanding wholesale funding as of December 31, 2012. Wholesale funding is defined as brokered deposits (primarily certificates of deposit and certain brokered money market and demand deposit funds) and borrowed funds from the FHLB.

        Union's audited consolidated financial statements do not reflect various off-balance sheet commitments that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. Off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in Note 11 to the audited financial statements.

        Union's management is of the opinion that its liquidity position at December 31, 2012 is adequate to respond to fluctuations "on" and "off" balance sheet. In addition, management knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that may result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in Union's inability to meet anticipated or unexpected liquidity needs.

COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS

        The rights of Union shareholders are governed by Pennsylvania law, including the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, which we refer to as the PBCL, and Union's articles of incorporation and bylaws. The rights of Riverview shareholders are governed by Pennsylvania law, including the PBCL, and Riverview's articles of incorporation and bylaws.

        Upon consummation of the consolidation, Union and Riverview shareholders will become Newco shareholders. Consequently, after the consolidation, the rights of such shareholders will be governed by the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Newco and Pennsylvania law, including the PBCL. Newco's Articles of Incorporation are attached to this document at Exhibit D to Annex A . Newco's Bylaws are attached to this document as Exhibit E to Annex A .

        A comparison of the rights of Union and Riverview shareholders and Newco shareholders follows. This summary is not intended to be a complete statement of all of such differences or a complete description of the specific provisions referred to therein, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Pennsylvania law and the respective articles of incorporation and bylaws of Union, Riverview and Newco.

149


Table of Contents


Authorized Capital

        Union:     The authorized capital stock of Union consists of two million (2,000,000) shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, and no shares of preferred stock.

        Riverview:     The authorized capital stock of Riverview consists of five million (5,000,000) shares of common stock, $0.50 par value per share, and no shares of preferred stock.

        Newco:     The authorized capital stock of Newco consists of five million (5,000,000) shares of common stock, no par value per share, and three million (3,000,000) shares of preferred stock, no par value per share.


Annual Meetings of Shareholders

        Union:     The annual meeting of shareholders for Union is required to be held on the first Tuesday in May in each year if not a legal holiday.

        Riverview:     The annual meeting of shareholders for Riverview is required to be held no later than the thirty-first (31st) day of May in each year.

        Newco:     The annual meeting of shareholders for Newco is required to be held no later than the thirty-first (31st) day of May in each year.


Preemptive Rights

        Union:     There are no preemptive rights with respect to the common stock of Union.

        Riverview:     In accordance with Riverview's articles of incorporation, if common stock is increased by the sale of additional shares, each shareholder is entitled to subscribe for such additional shares in proportion to the number of shares owned at the time the increase is authorized by the shareholders. Riverview's board of directors has the power to prescribe a reasonable period of time which the preemptive rights to subscribe to the new shares must be exercised. If common stock is increased by a stock dividend, each shareholder is entitled to his/her proportionate share. This provision, however, does not apply to a shareholder dividend reinvestment plan or the issuance of stock in accordance with stock options, rights or warrants. Each holder of options granted under the 2009 Riverview Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is entitled by the terms of the Plan to preemptive rights with respect to Riverview common stock. All option grants under the Plan are convertible to Riverview common stock.

        Newco:     There are no preemptive rights with respect to the common stock of Newco.


Cumulative Voting

        None of Union, Riverview or Newco's articles of incorporation or bylaws provide for cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors.


Shareholder Nomination of Directors

        Union:     Under Union's bylaws, any shareholder who intends to nominate, or cause to have nominated, any candidate for election to Union's board of directors (other than any candidate proposed by Union's then existing board of directors) is required to notify the secretary of Union, in writing, not less than sixty (60) days prior to the date of any meeting of shareholders called for the election of directors. The notice must contain the following information, to the extent known by the notifying shareholder: (1) the name and address of each proposed nominee; (2) the age of each proposed nominee; (3) the principal occupation of each proposed nominee; (4) the number of shares of Union stock owned by each proposed nominee; (5) the total number of shares that, to the knowledge

150


Table of Contents

of the notifying shareholder, will be voted for each proposed nominee; (6) the name and residence address of the notifying shareholder; and (7) the number of shares of Union stock owned by the notifying shareholder.

        Any nominations for a director not made in accordance with Union's bylaws will be disregarded and any votes cast for each such nominee will be disregarded. In the event that the same person is nominated by more than one shareholder, if at least one nomination for such person complies with Union's bylaws, the nomination will be honored and all votes cast for such nominee will be counted.

        Riverview:     Under Riverview's bylaws, any shareholder who intends to nominate or cause to have nominated any candidate for election to Riverview's board of directors (other than any candidate proposed by Riverview's then existing board of directors) is required to notify the secretary of Riverview, in writing, not less than sixty (60) days prior to the date of any meeting of shareholders called for the election of directors. The notice must contain the following information, to the extent known by the notifying shareholder: (1) the name and address of each proposed nominee; (2) the age of each proposed nominee; (3) the principal occupation and address of the place of business of each proposed nominee; (4) the number of shares of Riverview stock owned by each proposed nominee; (5) the total number of shares that, to the knowledge of the notifying shareholder, will be voted for each proposed nominee; (6) the name and residence address of the notifying shareholder; and (7) the number of shares of Riverview stock owned by the notifying shareholder.

        Any nominations for a director not made in accordance with Riverview's bylaws will be disregarded and any votes cast for each such nominee will be disregarded. In the event that the same person is nominated by more than one shareholder, if at least one nomination for such person complies with Riverview's bylaws, the nomination will be honored and all votes cast for such nominee will be counted.

        Newco:     The provisions of Newco's bylaws with respect to shareholder nomination for directors mirrors the provisions of Riverview's bylaws.


Number and Classification of Directors

        Union:     The number of directors of Union may not be less than three (3) and directors are classified into three classes with each class to be elected for a term of three (3) years. The term of each class of directors is staggered so that the term of one class of directors expires each year. Within such limits, the board of directors may, from time to time, fix the number of directors and their respective classifications.

        Riverview:     The number of directors that constitutes the whole board of directors of Riverview may not be less than five (5) or more than twenty-five (25). The directors of Riverview will be classified with respect to the time they severally hold office by dividing them into three (3) classes, each consisting as nearly as possible of one-third of the number of the whole board of directors. Each class of directors holds office for a term of three (3) years. The term of each class of directors is staggered so that the term of one class of directors expires each year. Within such limits, the board of directors may, from time to time, fix the number of directors and their respective classifications.

        Newco:     The number of directors of Newco may not be more than twenty five (25) or less than seven (7), as fixed by a resolution of the board of directors from time to time, and directors are divided into three (3) classes (Class I, II and III) with each class as nearly equal in number as possible. The term of each class of directors is staggered so that the initial Class I directors' term expires at the first annual meeting of the shareholders of Newco following the filing of Newco's articles of incorporation with the Department of State for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the "Initial Meeting Date"), the term of office of the initial Class II directors expires at the second annual meeting of the shareholders of Newco following the Initial Meeting Date, and the term of office of the initial Class III directors expires at the third annual meeting of the shareholders of Newco following the Initial Meeting Date.

151


Table of Contents

After the initial term of each Class expires, the term of office of each Class is three (3) years, so that the term of office of one Class of directors expires each year when their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified.


Election of Directors

        Union:     The shareholders of Union elect the directors of Union on an annual basis at the annual meeting of shareholders. Since the board of directors is classified, the shareholders of Union only elect those directors in the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. The term of one class of Union directors expires in each year. There are no cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors of Union.

        Riverview:     The shareholders of Riverview elect the directors of Riverview on an annual basis at the annual meeting of shareholders. Since the board of directors is classified, the shareholders of Riverview only elect those directors in the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. The term of one class of Riverview directors expires in each year. There are no cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors of Riverview.

        Newco:     At each annual meeting of the shareholders of Newco, the shareholders of Newco elect directors to succeed those directors whose terms expire at such annual meeting. The term of one class of Newco directors expires in each year. There are no cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors of Newco.


Director Qualifications

        Union:     To qualify to serve as a director of Union, such person (i) may not have attained the age of seventy (70) years; provided, however, that a person who is or was an officer or employee of Union Bank and Trust Company, Union's subsidiary, may be elected as a director beyond the age of seventy (70) years; (ii) must beneficially own no less than forty (40) shares of the common stock of Union; and (iii) must be a resident of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania or of a county contiguous to Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.

        Riverview:     To qualify to serve as a director of Riverview, such person (i) may not have attained the age of seventy (70) on or before the annual meeting at which directors are to be elected (except for Paul R. Reigle); (ii) must have an address for a place of business or a residence within a sixty (60) mile radius of Riverview's headquarters; and (iii) must beneficially own no less than two thousand (2,000) shares of Riverview's common stock (except the following individuals are exempted from such requirement: Roland R. Alexander, Arthur M. Feld, James G. Ford, II, Kirk D. Fox, Robert M. Garst, R. Keith Hite, David W. Hoover, William L. Hummel, Joseph D. Kerwin, James M. Lebo, Paul R. Reigle, John M. Schrantz, David A. Troutman and the first director appointed or elected within the first twelve (12) months of the formation of Riverview).

        Newco:     To qualify to serve as a director of Newco, such person (i) may not have attained the age of seventy (70) on or before the annual meeting at which directors are to be elected; and (ii) must beneficially own no less than two thousand (2,000) shares of Newco's common stock (except for the initial directors of Newco).


Vacancies

        Union:     Vacancies on Union's board of directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, will be filled by a majority of the remaining members of the board of directors, though less than a quorum, and each person so appointed will be a director until the expiration of the term of office of the class of directors to which he or she was appointed.

152


Table of Contents

        Riverview:     Vacancies on Riverview's board of directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, will be filled by a majority of the remaining members of the board of directors, or by a sole remaining director, though less than a quorum, and each person so appointed will be a director until the expiration of the term of office of the class of directions to which he was appointed.

        Newco:     The provisions of Newco's bylaws with respect to vacancies mirrors the provisions of Riverview's bylaws. Consequently, vacancies on Newco's board of directors are filled by a majority of the remaining members of the board of directors, or by a sole remaining director, though less than a quorum, and each person so appointed will be a director until the expiration of the term of office of the class of directors to which he was appointed.


Annual Meetings of the Board

        Union:     There is no express requirement for an annual meeting of the board of directors in Union's articles of incorporation or bylaws. An organizational meeting of the board of directors may be held immediately following the annual shareholders' meeting without the necessity of notice to the directors to constitute a legally convened meeting.

        Riverview and Newco:     Similarly, there is no express requirement for an annual meeting of the board of directors in Riverview's or Newco's respective articles of incorporation or bylaws. An organizational meeting of the board of directors for each of Riverview and Newco may be held immediately following the respective annual shareholders' meeting without the necessity of notice to the directors to constitute a legally convened meeting.


Pennsylvania Anti-Takeover Provisions

        Under the PBCL, certain anti-takeover provisions apply to Pennsylvania "registered corporations" (e.g., publicly traded companies) including those relating to (i) control share acquisitions, (ii) disgorgement of profits by certain controlling persons, (iii) business combination transactions with interested shareholders and (iv) the rights of shareholders to demand fair value for their stock following a control transaction. Pennsylvania law allows registered corporations to opt-out of any of these anti-takeover provisions. None of Riverview, Union or Newco is a registered corporation and therefore, none of them is subject to these anti-takeover provisions.


Voting Rights

Amendment of Articles of Incorporation.

        Under Pennsylvania law, an amendment to the articles of incorporation requires the approval of the board of directors and, except in limited cases where a greater vote may be required, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders entitled to vote on the matter and the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders within each class or series of shares if such class or series is entitled to vote on the matter as a class.

        Union:     Article 7 (approval of a merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution) and Article 10 (ownership of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of stock by a single shareholder) of Union's articles of incorporation may not be amended without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares of common stock of Union.

        Riverview:     Article 7 (no cumulative voting rights for the election of directors), Article 8 (approval of a merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution), Article 9 (preemptive rights), Article 10 (board opposition to a tender offer) and Article 11 (amendment to articles of incorporation) of Riverview's

153


Table of Contents

articles of incorporation may not be amended unless first approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy percent (70%) of the outstanding shares of common stock of Riverview.

        Newco:     Article 8 (composition of board of directors), Article 9 (no cumulative voting rights for the election of directors or otherwise), Article 10 (no preemptive rights), Article 11 (factors of consideration for best interest determination), Article 12 (approval of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or transfer of assets), Article 13 (exemption from monetary damages for directors in certain cases), Article 14 (action and meeting of shareholders), and Article 15 (amendment to the articles of incorporation) of Newco's articles of incorporation may not be amended except upon the approval of the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy percent (70%) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at a meeting duly called and held, or such greater vote as required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at least seventy percent (70%) of the members of the board of directors of Newco who have been in office for at least one year, at the time of proposal of the amendment (or, if Newco has been in existence less than one year, since the inception of Newco) approve the amendment at a duly called and held meeting of the board of directors, the amendment will be approved pursuant to the applicable provisions of the PBCL (i.e., a majority of the votes cast).


Amendment of Bylaws.

        Union:     Union's bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares of Union common stock. In addition, the bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed by the majority vote of the board of directors; provided, however, that the shareholders may change such board of director action by the affirmative vote of the holders of seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares of Union common stock.

        Riverview:     Riverview's bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of the majority of the whole number of directors.

        Newco:     Newco's bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of the majority of the whole number of directors, subject, however, to the power of the shareholders to make, amend, alter, change or repeal the bylaws by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than seventy percent (70%) of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of Newco entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.


Required Vote for Certain Business Combinations.

        Union:     Under Union's articles of incorporation, no merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of Union nor any action that would result in the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Union will be valid unless first approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares of common stock of Union.

        Riverview:     Under Riverview's articles of incorporation, no merger consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of Riverview, nor any action that would result in the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Riverview will be permitted unless first approved by the affirmative vote of: (a) the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares of Riverview common stock; or (b) the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Riverview common stock, provided that such transaction has received the prior approval of at least seventy percent (70%) of the members of Riverview's board of directors.

        Newco:     Under Newco's articles of incorporation, the affirmative vote of at least seventy percent (70%) of the outstanding shares of Newco (or such greater vote as required by law) is required to approve any (a) merger or consolidation of Newco with or into a any other corporation, person or entity (collectively, a "Person"), pursuant to which the approval of the shareholders of Newco would be required under the PBCL; (b) share exchange in which a Person acquires the issued and outstanding

154


Table of Contents

shares of capital stock of Newco pursuant to a vote of shareholders; (c) sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all, or substantially all, of the assets of Newco to any other Person; or (d) transaction similar to, or having a similar effect as, any of the foregoing transactions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Riverview Financial Corporation
Halifax, Pennsylvania

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Riverview Financial Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Riverview Financial Corporation's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the corporation's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Riverview Financial Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Riverview Financial Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and 2011

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

        Riverview Financial Corporation ("Riverview") and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Riverview Bank, provide loan, deposit and a full range of banking services to individuals, businesses and municipalities through two full service offices in Marysville and Duncannon, Perry County, Pennsylvania, one full service office in Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, three full service offices in Tower City, Cressona and Orwigsburg and one commercial office in Pottsville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, three full service and one drive-up office in Halifax, Millersburg and Elizabethville, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania and one commercial office in Wyomissing, Berks County, Pennsylvania. Effective December 27, 2012, Riverview Bank purchased a wealth management company located in Orwigsburg, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania that provides financial advisory, insurance and investment services relating to non-deposit type investment products. The company is a division of Riverview Bank. Riverview Bank competes with several other financial institutions within its geographic footprint to provide its services to individuals, businesses, municipalities and other organizations.

        Riverview Bank is a Pennsylvania chartered state bank. Riverview and Riverview Bank are subject to regulations of certain state and federal agencies. These regulatory agencies periodically examine Riverview and Riverview Bank for adherence to laws and regulations.

        The accounting and reporting policies followed by Riverview conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices within the banking industry. The following paragraphs briefly describe the more significant accounting policies.


Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Accounting

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Riverview Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverview Bank and its operating divisions, Marysville Bank, Halifax Bank and the wealth management company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Riverview uses the accrual basis of accounting.


Use of Estimates

        These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and predominant practices within the banking industry. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires Riverview to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Riverview evaluates estimates on an ongoing basis. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the potential impairment of goodwill, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities and the valuation of real estate acquired by foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and 2011 (Continued)

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the estimated losses on loans. Such agencies may require Riverview Bank to recognize additional losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the estimated losses on loans may change materially in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

        For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in the Federal Reserve Bank and other banks. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one day periods.


Investment Securities

        Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates the classifications as of each balance sheet date. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, all of Riverview's investment securities were classified as available-for-sale.

        Investment securities available-for-sale are those securities that Riverview intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale would be based on various factors, including movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of Riverview's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, credit risk, regulatory considerations and other similar factors. Investment securities available-for-sale are reported at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings but are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of deferred taxes. Any realized gains or losses, based on the amortized cost of specific securities sold, are included in current operations.

        The estimated fair values of Riverview's securities are affected by changes in interest rates and credit spreads. Riverview conducts a periodic review and evaluation of the securities portfolio to determine if any declines in fair values of securities are other-than-temporary. As a result of Riverview's adoption of accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 330, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities on April 1, 2009, to determine if a decline in value is other-than-temporary, Riverview evaluates if it has the intent to sell these securities or if it is more likely than not that it would be required to sell the securities before the anticipated recovery. If such a decline were deemed to be other-than-temporary, Riverview would measure the total credit-related component of the unrealized loss, and recognize that portion of the loss as a charge to current period earnings. The remaining portion of the unrealized loss would be recognized as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income. In general, as interest rates rise, the market value of the fixed-rate securities decreases and as interest rates fall, the market value of fixed-rate securities increases. To determine if a decline in value is other-than-temporary, Riverview evaluates if it has the intent to sell these securities if it is more likely than not that it would be required to sell the securities before the anticipated recovery.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, in addition to the reasons underlying the decline to determine whether the loss in value is other-than-temporary. The term "other-than-temporary" is not intended to indicate that the decline in value is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment.

        Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized and accreted to income using a method that approximates the interest method over the remaining period of contractual maturity, adjusted for anticipated prepayments. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.

        Mortgage loans originated and held for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. During 2009, Riverview Bank entered into an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") to sell loans servicing released. This was in addition to the agreement that Riverview Bank entered into in 2008 to sell loans servicing released under the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh's ("FHLB") Mortgage Partnership Finance program ("MPF"). Premiums and discounts and origination fees and costs on loans held for sale are deferred and recognized as a component of the gain or loss on sale. Residential loan sales under the Freddie Mac and MPF programs have been made without recourse. Both programs require details of the residential loan in advance of the sale and both have the ability to perform post closing quality control reviews. If the results of these reviews discover any documentation errors, Freddie Mac and MPF can require Riverview Bank to repurchase the loan.


Loans

        Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income, deferred loan fees, and the allowance for loan losses. Interest is accrued on the principal balances outstanding and is credited to income as earned. Loan fees collected net of the costs of originating the loans are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the yield over the contractual life of the related loan.

        The accrual of interest on loans in all loan segments (nonaccrual loans) is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all unpaid interest credited to income in the current calendar year is reversed and all unpaid interest accrued in prior calendar years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are either applied against principal or reported as interest income according to management's judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

        An impaired loan is defined as a loan for which it is probable, based on current information, that the lender will not collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Impaired loans are individually assessed to determine that each loan's carrying value is not in excess of the fair value of the related collateral or the present value of the expected future cash flows.


Allowance for Loan Losses

        Riverview Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses, which is intended to absorb probable known and inherent losses in the outstanding loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is reduced by actual credit losses and is increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries of previous losses. The provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered necessary and adequate by management.

        The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the loan portfolio in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

        The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as substandard or doubtful and deemed to be impaired. For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. Management determines the unallocated portion, which represents the difference between the reported allowance for loan losses and the calculated allowance for loan losses, based generally on the following criteria:

    risk of imprecision in the specific and general reserve allocations;

    other potential exposure in the loan portfolio, including covering the risks in the growing book of loans in the Schuylkill and Berks County regions;

    variances in management's assessment of national and local economic conditions; and

    other internal or external factors that management believes are appropriate at the time.

        A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Riverview will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

        Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, Riverview does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

        In determining the allowance for loan losses, Riverview Bank identifies separate pools with higher loss factors to segregate unimpaired criticized and classified loans from all other unimpaired loans. This more clearly details the risk inherent in the portfolio by refining the pools of assets with similar characteristics.


Premises and Equipment

        Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated principally using the straight-line method for financial reporting and the straight-line and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. When property is retired or disposed, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Major additions or replacements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Interest costs incurred during construction of bank premises are capitalized unless they are determined to be insignificant.


Accrued Interest

        Accrued interest is interest that has accumulated over a period of time and has been recognized even though the obligation to receive or pay has not occurred. Accrued interest can either be income, such as the receipt of interest from loans or securities, or it can be an expense, such as the payment of interest on deposits and borrowings.


Restricted Investments in Bank Stocks

        Restricted bank stock represents required investments in the common stock of correspondent banks consisting of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB) and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank at December 31, 2012 and 2011. Since these stocks are not actively traded and therefore have no readily determinable market value, they are carried at cost.

        In December 2008, the FHLB notified member banks that it was suspending the repurchase of capital stock and dividend payments to preserve capital. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2010 the FHLB announced its decision to repurchase excess capital stock and has continued to do so on a quarterly basis through the end of 2012. Since then Riverview Bank has received $616,000 representing the repurchase of 6,157 shares from the FHLB, of which $168,000 was received in 2012. In early 2012 the FHLB announced the payment of a dividend to its member banks at an annualized rate of 0.10% based on Riverview Bank's average FHLB stock holding for the fourth quarter of 2011. During 2012 Riverview Bank received from the FHLB four quarters of dividends totaling $2,599 where the dividend for the last quarter of 2012 was increased to 43 basis points annualized.

        Management evaluates restricted stock for impairment in accordance with the accounting standard relating to Accounting by Certain Entities (Including Entities With Trade Receivables) That Lend to or

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Finance the Activities of Others . Management's determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on its assessment of the ultimate recoverability of the cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value.

        Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the restricted stock as of December 31, 2012.


Transfers of Financial Assets

        Transfers of financial assets, including loans and loan participation sales, are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the corporation, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the corporation does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.


Cash Value of Life Insurance

        Riverview invests in bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") as a source of funding employee benefit expenses. BOLI involves the purchase of life insurance by Riverview on a chosen group of directors and select management of Riverview Bank. Riverview is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. The life insurance investment is carried at the cash surrender value of the underlying policies. These amounts are immediately available to Riverview upon surrender of the policies. Income generated from the increase in the cash surrender value of the policies is included in other income on the income statement.


Foreclosed Assets

        Real estate and other foreclosed assets acquired in settlement of loans are carried at the lower of cost or fair value of the property less estimated cost to sell at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to acquisition, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value of the property less selling costs. Any write-down, at or prior to the dates the assets are foreclosed, is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent write-downs and any gains or losses resulting from the sale of foreclosed assets are recorded in other income. Expenses incurred in connection with holding such assets are reported in other expenses.


Goodwill

        Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. As a result of the adoption of the accounting standard relating to Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets , business acquisition goodwill is no longer amortized into the income statement over an estimated life, but rather is tested at least annually for impairment. Based upon the goodwill analysis performed by an independent third party, there was no goodwill impairment for the 2012 year end.

Intangible Assets

        Intangible assets represent purchased assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights. Riverview's intangible assets consist of a core deposit intangible, which has a finite life and is amortized over its estimated useful life. Mortgage servicing rights are included in intangible assets where Riverview Bank recognized a servicing fee at the time of the sale for the right to service mortgages and other loans sold. The servicing asset is amortized as an expense over the life of the loan for which Riverview Bank retains the servicing rights. A customer list intangible is also included in intangible assets as a result of the purchase of the wealth management company. This intangible is amortized as an expense over ten years using the sum of the years' amortization method. Intangible assets are also subject to impairment testing when an indication of impairment exists.


Federal Income Taxes

        The provision for income taxes is based on income as reported in the financial statements. Certain items of income and expense are recognized in different periods for financial reporting purposes than for federal income tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities given current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for applicable income taxes.


Treasury Stock

        Repurchases of common stock are recorded as treasury stock at cost.


Advertising

        Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $92,000 and $41,000 for the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.


Earnings Per Common Share

        Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For diluted earnings per share, net income is divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental number of shares added as a result of converting common stock equivalents. Riverview's common stock equivalents consist of outstanding common stock options, which amounted to 179,250 options as of the 2012 year end and 170,000 options as of the 2011 year end. There was intrinsic value associated with 15,000 stock options out of the 179,250 total outstanding stock options at December 31, 2012 because the exercise price for these particular options was lower than the trading price of the stock. At December 31, 2011, there was intrinsic value associated with all of the 170,000 options that were outstanding.

Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

        In the ordinary course of business, Riverview has entered into off balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable.


Segment Reporting

        Riverview operates in a single business segment consisting of traditional banking activities.


Comprehensive Income

        Comprehensive income is divided into net income and other comprehensive income. For Riverview, the sole component of other comprehensive income is unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale. Comprehensive income is presented in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.


Reclassifications

        For purposes of comparability, certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform with the 2012 presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income.


New Accounting Standards

        In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2013-03 to clarify the scope and applicability of a particular disclosure to nonpublic entities that resulted from the issuance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs . The amendment clarifies that the requirement to disclose "the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements are categories in their entirety (Level 1, 2, or 3)" does not apply to nonpublic entities for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which fair value is disclosed. The amendment was effective upon issuance.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Riverview has adopted this amendment within the December 31, 2012 financial statements and has not included the level of the fair value hierarchy for financial instruments as originally required by Accounting Standards Update 2011-04.

        In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which requires disclosure of the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") on net income line items only for those items that are reported in their entirety in net income in the period of reclassification. For AOCI reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross reference to other required U.S. GAAP disclosures is required. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2012, and is not expected to have a significant impact on Riverview's consolidated financial statements.

        Effective March 31, 2012, Riverview adopted guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance providing an entity with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both options, the entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. As originally issued, ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented (for both interim and annual financial statements). This requirement was deferred by ASU 2011-12— Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards . ASU No. 2011-05 is effective for all interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted, and must be applied retrospectively. Riverview has presented comprehensive income in a separate consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

        In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs . This ASU amends FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements , to bring U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements in line with International Accounting Standards. The ASU clarifies existing guidance for items such as: application of the highest and best use concept to non-financial assets and liabilities; the application of fair value measurement to financial instruments classified in a reporting entity's stockholders' equity; and disclosure requirements regarding quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of level 3 assets. The ASU also creates an exception to Topic 820 for entities which carry financial instruments within a portfolio or group, under which the entity is now permitted to base the price used for fair valuation upon a price that would be received to sell the net asset position or transfer a net liability position in an orderly transaction. The ASU also allows for the application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement if the financial instrument is categorized in level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Lastly, the ASU contains new disclosure requirements regarding fair value amounts categorized as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy such as:

171

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

disclosure of the valuation process used; effects of and relationships between unobservable inputs; usage of nonfinancial assets for purposes other than their highest and best use when that is the basis of the disclosed fair value; and categorization by level of items disclosed at fair value, but not measured at fair value for financial statement purposes. This ASU was effective for Riverview for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on Riverview's consolidated financial statements.

        In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860)—Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. Under the amended guidance, a transferor maintains effective control over transferred financial assets if there is an agreement that both entitles and obligates the transferor to repurchase the financial assets before maturity. In addition, the following requirements must be met: (a) the financial assets to be repurchased or redeemed is the same or substantially the same as those transferred, (b) the agreement is to repurchase or redeem the transferred financial asset before maturity at a fixed or determinable price, and (c) the agreement is entered into contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of the transfer. This guidance is effective prospectively for transactions, or modification of existing transactions, that occur on or after the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on Riverview's consolidated financial statements.

Note 2—Restriction on Cash and Due from Banks

        Riverview Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The required reserve at December 31, 2012 and 2011 approximated $6,610,000 and $6,958,000, respectively. In addition, Riverview Bank's other correspondents may require average compensating balances as part of their agreements to provide services.

        Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment, at least on a quarterly basis. It is management's intent to hold all investments until maturity unless market, economic, credit quality or specific investment concerns warrant a sale of securities. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the credit quality or financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

        At December 31, 2012, twelve state and municipal securities had unrealized losses as compared with two CMO securities at December 31, 2011. Management believes the unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates since the individual securities were purchased as opposed to underlying credit issues. As management does not intend to sell any debt securities, and it is more likely than not that management will not be required to sell any debt securities before the cost bases are recovered, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

        As part of its strategy to manage interest rate risk and prepayment risk inherent within the investment portfolio, Riverview Bank sold ten available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities and two available-for-sale state and municipal securities during 2012 totaling $18,336,000 as compared with 2011 when it sold ten available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities totaling $19,989,000. On a year to date basis, gross realized gains for 2012 amounted to $770,000 and gross realized losses were zero, resulting in a $770,000 net gain from the sale. This compares with 2011 where gross realized gains amounted to $274,000 and gross realized losses were zero, resulting in a $274,000 net gain from the sale. Riverview Bank reinvested the proceeds from the sale by purchasing fixed rate mortgage-backed securities, callable agencies and state and municipal securities which not only provide interest income but also allowed Riverview Bank to better manage the cash flow generated from the portfolio.

        Riverview Bank takes a balanced approach to its lending activities and manages risk associated with its loan portfolio by maintaining diversification within the portfolio, consistently applying prudent underwriting standards, ongoing monitoring efforts with attention to portfolio dynamics and mix, and procedures that are consistently applied and updated on an annual basis. Riverview contracts an independent third party each year to conduct a credit review of the loan portfolio to provide an independent assessment of asset quality through an evaluation of the established underwriting criteria used in originating credits. Separately, every loan booked and loan turndown undergoes an audit review for conformity with established policies and compliance with current regulatory lending laws. Riverview has not lessened its loan underwriting criteria during this time, and management believes its standards continue to remain conservative. All of Riverview's loans are to domestic borrowers.

        Riverview Bank's management monitors the loan portfolio on a regular basis with consideration given to detailed analysis of loans by portfolio segment. Portfolio segments represent pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. There are eight portfolio segments—commercial loans; non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans; owner occupied commercial real estate loans; one-to-four family investment property loans; commercial land/land development/construction loans; residential real estate loans; home equity lines of credit; and consumer loans. For the purpose of estimating the allowance for loan losses, each of the segments for commercial loans, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, owner occupied commercial real estate loans, one-to-four family investment property loans, and commercial land/land development/construction loans have sub-segments for loan participations bought and loans generated by the branches and commercial offices in Schuylkill and Berks counties, which are newly marketed areas adjacent to Riverview Bank's original geographic footprint.

        The loans in these sub-segments have risk characteristics that differ from the general segments and merit separate analysis in order to afford additional granularity and accuracy in management's estimate for the allowance for loan losses. Internal policy requires that the Chief Credit Officer report to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis to discuss the status of the loan portfolio and any related credit quality issues. These reports include but are not limited to information on past due and nonaccrual loans, impaired loans, the allowance for loan losses, changes in the allowance for loan losses, credit quality indicators and foreclosed assets.

        Riverview Bank, in the ordinary course of business, has loan, deposit and other routine transactions with its executive officers, directors and entities in which they have principal ownership. Loans are made to such related parties at substantially the same terms as other borrowers and do not represent more than the usual risk of collection.

        Activity for these related party loans was as follows for the year ended December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

Balance—January 1

Past Due Loans and Nonaccrual Loans

        Loans are considered to be past due when they are not paid in accordance with contractual terms. Past due loans are monitored by portfolio segment and by severity of delinquency—30-59 days past due; 60-89 days past due; and 90 days and greater past due. The accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it can be documented that it is well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all unpaid interest credited to income in the current calendar year is reversed and all unpaid interest accrued in prior calendar years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are either applied against principal or reported as interest income according to management's judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

Impaired Loans

        A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Riverview Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Riverview Bank further identifies all loans in nonaccrual status and troubled debt restructured loans as impaired loans, except large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, Riverview Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless the loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When the measure of an impaired loan results in a realizable value that is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the difference is recorded as a specific valuation allowance against that loan and Riverview Bank then makes the appropriate adjustment to the allowance for loan losses.

        The recorded investment in impaired loans increased by $185,000 at December 31, 2012 since December 31, 2011. This increase is attributable primarily to two unrelated commercial loan relationships that were identified as impaired in the latter part of the first quarter of 2012, one unrelated commercial loan relationship and one unrelated residential real estate loans that was identified as impaired in the second quarter of 2012, one unrelated commercial loan relationship that was identified as impaired in the third quarter of 2012, and one unrelated commercial loan relationship that was identified as impaired in the fourth quarter of 2012. Each of these loans was measured for impairment and additions were made to the allowance for loan losses based on the measurement and as deemed appropriate by management.

        Impaired loans also include all loans modified and identified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDR"). A loan is deemed to be a TDR when Riverview Bank agrees to a modification in terms of a loan resulting in a concession made by Riverview Bank in an effort to mitigate potential loss arising

from a borrower's financial difficulty. As of December 31, 2012 there were 18 restructured loans totaling $7,065,000 to ten separate and unrelated borrowers who were experiencing financial difficulty. The modifications on these loans included reductions in interest rates, extension of maturity dates, lengthening of amortization schedules and provisions for interest only payments. There are no commitments to extend additional funds to any of these borrowers.

        The following table presents the number of loans and recorded investment in loans restructured and identified as troubled debt restructurings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, as well as the number and recorded investment in these loans that subsequently defaulted. Defaulted loans are those which are 30 days or more past due for payment under the modified terms.

        Riverview Bank assesses all loan restructurings in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-02, A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring , which provides a creditor with additional guidance in evaluating whether a restructuring of a debt is a troubled debt restructuring. This ASU further clarifies the definition of a troubled debt restructuring and confirms that a creditor should consider all aspects of a restructuring to determine whether it has granted a concession to a borrower.

Allowance for Loan Losses

        The allowance for loan losses is composed of individual valuation allowances to absorb probable and quantifiable losses based upon current knowledge of the loan portfolio, and loan pool valuation

Note 4—Loans Receivable, Credit Quality for Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

allowances, allocated and unallocated, to absorb losses which are not specifically identified but are inherent in the portfolio. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis. If the allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, Riverview Bank's earnings may be reduced.

        Individual valuation allowances are established in connection with specific loan reviews and the asset classification process including the procedures for impairment testing. Such a valuation, which includes a review of loans for which full collectability in accordance with contractual terms is not reasonably assured, considers the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less the costs to sell, or the present value of expected future cash flows, or the loan's observable market value. Any shortfall that exists from this analysis results in a specific allowance for the loan. Pursuant to policy, loan losses must be charged off in the period the loans, or portions thereof, are deemed uncollectible. Assumptions and judgments by management in conjunction with outside sources are used to determine whether full collectability of a loan is not reasonably assured. These assumptions and judgments are also used to determine the estimates of the fair value of the underlying collateral or the present value of expected future cash flows or the loan's observable market value. Individual valuation allowances could differ materially as a result of changes in these assumptions and judgments. Individual loan analyses are performed quarterly on specific loans considered to be impaired. The results of the individual valuation allowances are aggregated and included in the overall allowance for loan losses.

        Loan pool valuation allowances represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the inherent risks associated with Riverview Bank's lending activity, but which, unlike individual allowances, have been allocated to unimpaired loans within the following eight portfolio segments: commercial loans; non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans; owner occupied commercial real estate loans; one-to-four family investment property loans; commercial land/land development/construction loans; residential real estate loans; home equity lines of credit; and consumer loans. Each of the segments for commercial loans, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, owner occupied commercial real estate loans, one-to-four family investment property loans, and commercial land/land development/ construction loans have sub-segments for loan participations bought, and for loans generated by the branches and commercial offices in Schuylkill and Berks counties, which are newly marketed areas adjacent to Riverview Bank's original geographic footprint. The loans in these sub-segments have risk characteristics that differ from the general segments and merit separate analysis in order to afford additional granularity and accuracy in management's estimate for the allowance for loan losses. Riverview Bank measures estimated credit losses on each of these groups of loans based on the historical loss rate of each group. The historical loss rate is calculated based on the average annualized net charge-offs over the most recent eight calendar quarters. Unimpaired criticized and classified loans are further segregated as "sub- pools" within each of these eight segments.

        A separate, higher loss factor is ascribed to each of these "sub-pools" based on the relative risk in each segment as indicated by historical loss ratios, the level of criticized/classified assets, and the nature of each segment in terms of collateral and inherent risk of the loan type. Management believes that historical losses or even recent trends in losses do not form a sufficient basis to determine the appropriate level for the allowance. Management therefore also considers the following qualitative

Note 4—Loans Receivable, Credit Quality for Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with each of the portfolio segments to differ from historical loss experience:

    Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards;

    Changes in national, regional and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio;

    Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;

    Changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

    Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of non-accrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified loans;

    Changes in the quality of Riverview Bank's loan review system;

    The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and the changes in the level of such concentrations; and

    The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements in the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio.

        Each portfolio segment is examined quarterly with regard to the impact of each of these factors on the quality and risk profile of the pool, and adjustments ranging from zero to fifty basis points per factor are calculated. The sum of these qualitative factor adjustments are added to the historical loss ratio for each segment and the resulting percentage is applied to the loan balance of the segment to arrive at the required loan pool valuation allowance. An unallocated valuation allowance estimate is also made generally in order to give effect to significant loan growth in 2012 resulting from entering into new markets in Schuylkill County in mid-2011 and in Berks County in mid-2012. These portfolios are unseasoned and have not yet developed any loss history. Growth is expected to continue in these portfolios, with focus being given to business, construction, and commercial real estate loans. These loans are normally larger and more complex, and their collection rates are harder to predict. Management determines the unallocated portion, which represents the difference between the reported allowance for loan losses and the calculated allowance for loan losses, based generally on the following criteria:

    risk of imprecision in the specific and general reserve allocations;

    other potential exposure in the loan portfolio, including covering the risks in the growing book of loans in the Schuylkill and Berks county regions;

    variances in management's assessment of national and local economic conditions; and

    other internal or external factors that management believes appropriate at the time.

        The loan pool valuation allowance for each segment along with the unallocated valuation allowance is totaled and added to the individual valuation allowance for impaired loans to arrive at the total allowance for loan losses.

Note 4—Loans Receivable, Credit Quality for Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

        These evaluations are inherently subjective because even though they are based on objective data, it is management's interpretation of the data that determines the amount of the appropriate allowance. If the evaluations prove to be incorrect, the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio resulting in additions to the allowance for loan losses and a reduction in Bank earnings.

Loan Charge Offs

        Charge offs of commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate and construction loans are recorded promptly upon determination that all or a portion of any loan balance is uncollectible. A loan is considered uncollectible when the borrower is 90 days or more delinquent in principal or interest repayment and the following conditions exist:

    It is unlikely that the borrower will have the ability to pay the debt in a timely manner.

    Collateral value is insufficient to cover the outstanding indebtedness.

    Guarantors do not provide adequate support.

        All unsecured consumer loans are charged-off when they become 120 days delinquent or when it is determined that the debt is uncollectible. Overdrafts are charged off when it is determined recovery is not likely or the overdraft becomes 45 days old, whichever comes first.

        All secured consumer loans, except those secured by a primary or secondary residence, are charged off when they become 120 days delinquent, or when it is determined that the debt is uncollectible.

        Uncollateralized portions of first mortgage residential real estate loans and consumer loans secured by real estate are charged off upon completion of a sheriff's sale, but prior to the transfer of the fair value carrying balance to other real estate owned. Current appraisals are obtained to determine the appropriate carrying balance with any exposed portion of the loan principal balance being charged off.

Note 4—Loans Receivable, Credit Quality for Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

Credit Quality Indicators

        Riverview Bank has established a credit risk rating system to quantify the risk in Riverview Bank's loan portfolio. This system is a critical tool for managing Riverview Bank's lending activities and for evaluating appropriate loan loss reserves. This rating system is dynamic with risk ratings subject to change at any time when circumstances warrant. The system rates the strength of the borrower and is designed to be a tool for management to manage Riverview Bank's credit risk and provide an early warning system for negative migration of credits. The system also provides for recognition of improvement in credits. Risk ratings move dynamically, both negatively and positively.

        Each new, renewed or modified credit facility is given a risk rating that takes into consideration factors that affect credit quality. The primary determinants of the risk rating assigned are based upon the reliability of the primary source of repayment and the past, present, and projected financial condition of the borrower. The rating also reflects current economic and industry conditions. Major factors used in determining the rating include the following variables:

    Capitalization

    Liquidity

    Cash flow

    Revenue and earnings trends

    Management strength or weakness

    Quality of financial information

    Reputation and credit history

    Industry, including economic climate

        In addition, the following factors may contribute to enhance the risk rating derived from the above factors:

            Collateral:     The rating may be affected by the type and quality of collateral, the level of coverage, the economic life of the collateral, liquidation value, and Riverview Bank's ability to dispose of the collateral.

            Guarantors:     Guarantees can differ substantially in enhancing the risk rating assigned to a loan or lending commitment. In order to provide enough support to impact the assigned rating by one or more levels, the guarantee must be unconditional and be from an individual or entity with substantial financial strength and a vested interest in the success of the borrower.

        Riverview Bank assigns risk ratings based on a scale from 1 to 8 with 1 being the highest quality rating and 8 being the lowest quality grade.

    Levels 1-4 are "Pass" grades

    Level 5 is "Special Mention" (criticized loan)

    Level 6 is "Substandard" (classified loan)

Note 4—Loans Receivable, Credit Quality for Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

    Level 7 is "Doubtful" (classified loan)

    Level 8 is "Loss" (classified loan)

Risk Rating Definitions

1—Excellent

        This category is reserved for loans that contain a virtual absence of any credit risk. The loan is secured by properly margined cash collateral (in accordance with loan policy). Loans that are unquestionably guaranteed by the U.S. government, or any agency thereof, would also fit this category.

2—Good

        Loans in this category would be characterized by nominal risk and strong repayment certainty. This would include loans to companies or individuals that are paying as agreed and that are either unsecured or secured where reliance is placed on non-liquid or less than good quality liquid collateral.

3—Satisfactory

        Loans in this category are considered to exhibit an average level of credit risk. However, these loans have certain risk characteristics, whether due to management, industry, economic or financial concerns. Credits with satisfactory liquidity and leverage, with losses considered to be of a temporary nature for which there is only minor concern would be so rated. Loans for start-up businesses or loans to firms exhibiting high leverage could receive this rating. Loans in this category would also include borrowers whose underlying financial strength may be relatively weak. However, risk of loss is considered minimal due to adequate, well-margined and controlled collateral.

4—Watch

        Loans in this category would typically be experiencing some negative trends due to financial, operational, economic, or regulatory reasons. A deteriorating collateral position or guarantor, in isolation, could also justify this rating. Such loans must have elevated monitoring as a result of negative trends which, if not addressed, could result in an unacceptable increase in credit risk.

5—Special Mention

        A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in Riverview Bank's credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose Riverview Bank to sufficient risk to warrant an adverse classification. Loans for which economic or market conditions which are beginning to adversely affect the borrower may be so rated. An adverse trend in the borrower's operations or an imbalanced position in the balance sheet which has not reached a point where the liquidation is jeopardized may be best handled by this rating. Loans in which actual weaknesses are evident and significant should be considered for more serious criticism. In cases where the credit is weak but trends are improving, and/or collateral support is within normal advance margins, consideration should be given for the next higher rating.

Note 4—Loans Receivable, Credit Quality for Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)


6—Substandard

        A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These loans, even if apparently protected by collateral value, have well-defined weaknesses related to adverse financial, managerial, economic, market, or political conditions which have clearly jeopardized repayment of principal and interest as originally intended. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Riverview Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. All loans in nonaccrual status may be rated no higher than substandard.

7—Doubtful

        A doubtful loan has all of the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending events that may work to strengthen the asset, its classification as a loss is deferred until its most exact status may be determined. Generally, pending events should be resolved within a relatively short period and the rating will be adjusted based on the new information. Because of high probability of loss, loans rated doubtful must be in non-accrual status.

8—Loss

        Loans classified loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though a partial recovery may be effected in the future. When access to collateral, rather than the value of the collateral, is a problem, a less severe classification may be appropriate. However, Riverview Bank will not maintain an asset on the balance sheet if realizing its value would require long-term litigation or other lengthy recovery efforts. Losses are recorded in the period the asset becomes uncollectible.

        The adequacy of the allowance is analyzed quarterly, with any adjustment to the level deemed appropriate by credit administration management, based upon its risk assessment of the entire portfolio. Based upon credit administration's review of the classified loans and the overall allowance levels as they relate to the entire loan portfolio at December 31, 2012, management believes the allowance for loan losses has been established at levels sufficient to cover the probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.

Operating Leases

        Riverview entered into a fifteen year operating lease agreement in 2003 for the land on which the Duncannon office is located. In 2005, Riverview entered into an agreement to lease an office on Good Hope Road in Hampden Township, Cumberland County, on which lease payments began in 2006 and extend through 2017. In January 2007, Riverview entered into an agreement to lease office space in Linglestown, Dauphin County, on which lease payments began in 2007 and extend through 2012. The lease for the Linglestown office space was not renewed thereafter. As part of the consolidation effective December 31, 2008, Riverview assumed the lease of the then Halifax National Bank's branch in Elizabethville, Dauphin County, which began in 2008 and expires in 2018. During the latter part of 2010 Riverview entered into an agreement to lease the land occupied by the office located on East Wiconisco Avenue, Tower City, and Schuylkill County, on which lease payments began 2010 and extend through 2035. Riverview entered into an agreement during July 2011 to lease a branch office in Cressona, Schuylkill County, in which lease payments commenced August 2011 and extend through July 2016. During September 2011, Riverview entered into agreements to lease a commercial office in Pottsville and a branch office in Orwigsburg, Schuylkill County, in which lease payments commenced January 2012 through December 2016. Effective July 31, 2012 Riverview entered into an agreement to lease a commercial condominium unit in Wyomissing, Berks County, with lease payments commencing August 1, 2012 through July 31, 2013. On December 27, 2012, Riverview acquired a wealth management company and assumed the lease of its commercial office located in Orwigsburg, Schuylkill County in which lease payments of the original lease commenced May 1, 2012 and extend through April 30, 2015. Riverview is responsible for taxes, utilities and other expenses related to the properties. All of the lease agreements contain renewal options. Total expense for operating leases in 2012 and 2011 was $303,000 and $167,000, respectively.

Note 8—Borrowings

        Riverview Bank has an unsecured line of credit agreement with Atlantic Central Bankers Bank in the amount of $6,250,000 at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Interest accrues based on the daily federal funds rate. There were no amounts outstanding on this line of credit at December 31, 2012 or 2011.

        Repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at the amount the securities will be subsequently sold or repurchased for, plus accrued interest. Riverview Bank requires investment securities to be held as collateral for the repurchase agreements. The securities underlying the agreements were under Riverview Bank's control. There were no outstanding repurchase agreements at December 31, 2012 as compared with $893,000 that were outstanding at December 31, 2011.

        Riverview Bank has entered into agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB") which allow for borrowings up to a percentage of certain qualifying collateral assets. At December 31, 2012, Riverview Bank had a maximum borrowing capacity of approximately $85,856,000 with the FHLB of Pittsburgh. The borrowing capacity is collateralized by security agreements in certain real estate loans recorded on the books of Riverview Bank. Borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh include long-term borrowing agreements which are subject to restrictions and penalties for early repayment under certain circumstances and borrowings under repurchase advance agreements.

        Riverview has a secured closed-end line of credit with The Gratz Bank, Gratz, Pennsylvania for $2,000,000, which was increased from $1,500,000 on May 30, 2012. Riverview drew $1,500,000 during the third quarter of 2011 and $500,000 during the fourth quarter of 2012 so that the total amount outstanding was $2,000,000 at December 31, 2012. The interest rate is fixed at 5.50% until July 30, 2015 and is floating thereafter at 1% above the base Wall Street Journal U.S. prime rate. Interest only payments are due monthly, followed by monthly principal and interest payments beginning August 30, 2015. The maturity date of this loan is July 30, 2025. The line is secured by 300,000 shares of the subsidiary bank's common stock.

        On November 27, 2012, Riverview received a confirmation from ACNB Bank that its application for a $3 million secured guidance line of credit loan was approved. Riverview accepted the terms and conditions on November 30, 2012 and the loan agreement was signed effective January 11, 2013. The terms of the facility are as follows:

    The term is a twelve month revolving draw period followed by a 48 month non-revolving draw period. The maximum term of the facility for draws is 60 months followed by a principal repayment term.

    The interest rate is fixed at 3.99% until January 11, 2016. Thereafter, the interest rate will be adjusted every three years and indexed to the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of three years, as made available by the Federal Reserve, plus 3%, rounded up to the nearest 0.125%, with a floor of 4.50%.

    Each advance under the loan will require monthly interest only payments until January 11, 2016. Thereafter, each advance shall require180 consecutive monthly principal and interest payments in an amount sufficient to fully amortize the advance over 15 years.

Note 9—Pension and Other Benefit Plans

Defined Contribution Plan

        Riverview maintains a contributory 401(k) retirement plan for all eligible employees. Currently, Riverview's policy is to match 100% of the employees' voluntary contribution to the plan up to a maximum of 4% of the employees' compensation. Additionally, Riverview may make discretionary contributions to the plan after considering current profits and business conditions. The amount charged to expense in 2012 and 2011 totaled $258,000 and $199,000, respectively. Of these amounts, discretionary contributions approximated $168,000 and $115,000, respectively.


Director Emeritus Plan

        Effective November 2, 2011, a Director Emeritus Agreement (the "Agreement") was entered into by and between Riverview, Riverview Bank and the Directors. In order to promote orderly succession of Riverview's Board of Directors, the Agreement defines the benefits Riverview is willing to provide upon the termination of service to those individuals who currently serve as Directors of Riverview as of December 31, 2011, where Riverview will pay the Director $15,000 per year for services performed as a Director Emeritus, which may be increased at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. The benefit is paid over five years, in 12 monthly installments to a Director:

    upon termination of service as a Director on or after the age of 65, provided the Director agrees to provide certain ongoing services for Riverview;

    upon termination of service as a Director due to a disability prior to age 65;

    upon a change of control;

    upon the death of a Director after electing to be a Director Emeritus.

        Expenses recorded under the terms of this agreement were $30,000 in 2012 and $19,750 in 2011, respectively.


Deferred Compensation Agreements

        Riverview Bank maintains five Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") agreements that provide specified benefits to certain key executives. The agreements were specifically designed to encourage key executives to remain as employees of Riverview Bank. The agreements are unfunded with benefits to be paid from Riverview Bank's general assets. After normal retirement, benefits are payable to the executive or his beneficiary in equal monthly installments for a period of either 15 years for two of the executives and 20 years for three of the executives. There are provisions for death benefits should a participant die before his retirement date. These benefits are also subject to change of control and other provisions.

        Riverview Bank maintains a "Director Deferred Fee Agreement" ("DDFA") which allows electing directors to defer payment of their directors' fees until a future date. In addition Riverview Bank

Table of Contents


Riverview Financial Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and 2011 (Continued)

Note 9—Pension and Other Benefit Plans (Continued)

maintains an "Executive Deferred Compensation Agreement" ("EDCA") with one of its executives. This agreement, which was initiated in 2010, allows the executives of Riverview Bank to defer payment of their base salary, bonus and performance based compensation until a future date. For both types of deferred fee agreements, the estimated present value of the future benefits is accrued over the effective dates of the agreements using an interest factor that is evaluated and approved by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors on an annual basis. The agreements are unfunded, with benefits to be paid from Riverview Bank's general assets.

        The accrued benefit obligations for all the plans total $673,000 at December 31, 2012 and $748,000 at December 31, 2011 and are included in other liabilities. Expenses relating to these plans totaled $88,000 and $94,000 in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        Riverview made a lump sum payment of $178,000 on January 3, 2012 in accordance with the terms of the DDFA of a director who passed away in mid-2011.


Stock Option Plan

        In January 2009 Riverview implemented a nonqualified stock option plan. The purpose of the 2009 Stock Option Plan was to advance the development, growth and financial condition of Riverview by providing incentives through participation in the appreciation of the common stock of Riverview to secure, retain and motivate its directors, officers and key employees and to align such person's interests with those of Riverview's shareholders. Originally, shares of Riverview's common stock that may be issued or transferred under this plan could not exceed, in the aggregate, 170,000 shares at an exercise price of $10.60 per share. On January 4, 2012, the 2009 Stock Option Plan was amended and restated to increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan through grants of nonqualified stock options. The amendment increased the number of shares available under the Plan, in the aggregate, to 220,000 shares from 170,000 shares that were originally documented in the Plan. The vesting schedule for all options is a seven year cliff, which means that the options are 100% vested in the seventh year following the grant date and the expiration date is ten years following the grant date. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 there were 5,750 option grants fully vested or exercisable as a result of the passing of one of the directors of Riverview Bank in 2011. The Plan states that upon the date of death of a participant, all awards granted, pursuant to the agreement, for that participant shall become fully vested and remain exercisable for the option grant's remaining term.

Uncertain Tax Positions

        In connection with the accounting guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for certain tax positions, Riverview has evaluated its tax position as of December 31, 2012. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that has more than a 50 percent likelihood of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. Under the "more likely than not" threshold guidelines, Riverview believes no significant uncertain tax position exists, either individually or in the aggregate, that would give rise to the non-recognition of an existing tax benefit. As of December 31, 2012, Riverview had no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be classified as additional income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there was no liability for unrecognized tax benefits. Riverview and its subsidiary are subject to U. S. Federal income tax as well as income tax of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

        Riverview is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009.

Note 11—Financial Instruments with Off Balance Sheet Risk

        Riverview Bank is a party to financial instruments with off balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit, typically residential mortgage loans and commercial loans and, to a lesser extent, standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet.

        Riverview Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Riverview Bank uses the same credit policies in making such commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on balance sheet instruments. Riverview Bank does not anticipate any material losses from those commitments.

        Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there are no violations of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Riverview Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by Riverview Bank upon extensions of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral requirements vary but may include investments, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. For loans secured by real estate, Riverview Bank generally requires loan to value ratios of no greater than 80%. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Riverview Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and similar transactions. The

Note 11—Financial Instruments with Off Balance Sheet Risk (Continued)

terms of the letters of credit vary and may have renewal features. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Riverview Bank holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. The current amount of the liability as of December 31, 2012 for guarantees under standby letters of credit is not material.

        Riverview Bank's exposure to credit loss for loan commitments (unfunded loans and unused lines of credit, including home equity lines of credit) and standby and performance letters of credit was as follows at December 31:

 
  Contract or Notional

  $ 36,407   $ 33,397  
           

Note 12—Concentrations of Credit Risk

        Substantially all of the Corporation's business activity, including loans and loan commitments, is with customers located within its trade area within the counties of Perry, Cumberland, Dauphin, Schuylkill and Berks, Pennsylvania. A loan concentration is considered to exist when the total amount of loans to any one or multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities or have similar economic characteristics, exceed 10% of loans outstanding in any one category.

        The following table presents loan concentrations as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

  $ 44,954   $ 37,599

        Although such loans were not made to any one particular borrower or industry, the quality of these loans could be affected by the region's economy and overall real estate market. Delinquency and non-performing loans have decreased during the year in these portfolios, the performance and loss ratio of these portfolios continues to be acceptable.

Note 13—Regulatory Matters and Shareholders' Equity

        Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of Riverview Bank to transfer funds to Riverview in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. Regulatory approval is required if the total of all dividends declared by a state-chartered bank in any calendar year exceeds net profits (as defined) for that year combined with the retained net profits for the two preceding years. At December 31, 2012, $1,517,000 of undistributed earnings of Riverview Bank, included in consolidated shareholders' equity, was available for distribution to Riverview as dividends without prior regulatory approval.

        Riverview Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Riverview and the consolidated financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Riverview Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors.

        Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Riverview Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of: total risk-based capital and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and Tier 1 capital to average total assets (as defined). Management believes that as of December 31, 2012, Riverview Bank meets all the capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

        As of December 31, 2012 Riverview Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To remain categorized as well capitalized Riverview Bank will have to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as disclosed in the table below. There are no conditions or events since year end that management believes have changed Riverview Bank's category.

        The Federal Reserve Board approved a final rule in 2006 that expands the definition of a small bank holding company ("BHC") under the Board's Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement and the Board's risk-based and leverage capital guidelines for bank holding companies. Based on the ruling, Riverview meets the eligibility criteria of a small BHC and is exempt from regulatory requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.

Note 14—Fair Value Measurements and Fair Values of Financial Instruments

        Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of Riverview's financial instruments. However, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts Riverview could have realized in sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year-ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year-end.

        The Fair Value Measurements standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under this standard are as follows:

Level 1:

  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

 

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3:

 

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e.,  supported with little or no market activity).

        An asset's or liability's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, Riverview had no liabilities subject to fair value reporting requirements.

        Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually results from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

        The following describes the valuation techniques used by Riverview to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.

Loans Held for Sale

        Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. These loans typically consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, Riverview records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis.

Other Real Estate Owned

        Certain assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value of real estate acquired through foreclosure at an estimated fair value less cost to sell. At or near the time of

Note 14—Fair Value Measurements and Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)

foreclosure, real estate appraisals are obtained on the properties acquired through foreclosure. The real estate is then valued at the lesser of the appraised value or the loan balance, including interest receivable, at the time of foreclosure less an estimate of costs to sell the property. Appraised values are typically determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of Riverview using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the acquired property is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered a Level 3. The estimate of costs to sell the property is based on historical transactions of similar holdings.

Impaired Loans

        ASC 820 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan's collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan's collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of collateral. The value of the collateral is typically determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of Riverview using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value of the applicable business' financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivable collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans are measured at the lower of cost or fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as a provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Riverview had impaired loans of $8,978,000 at December 31, 2012 out of which $1,038,000 required a valuation allowance of $366,000. This compares with impaired loans of $8,793,000 at December 31, 2011, out of which $2,328,000 required a valuation allowance of $662,000.

Goodwill

        The fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as goodwill recognized in a business combination and uses standard valuation methodologies. Fair value may be determined using market prices, comparison to similar assets, market multiples, discounted cash flow analysis and other factors. Estimated cash flows may extend far into the future and by their nature are difficult to determine over an extended time frame. Factors that may significantly affect the estimates include specific industry or market sector conditions, changes in revenue growth trends, customer behavior, competitive forces, cost structures and changes in discount rates. Riverview did not incur goodwill impairment during the years ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.

(1)
Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral. When an appraisal is older than two years the asset is categorized as a Level 3.

(2)
Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

        The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of Riverview since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of Riverview's assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between Riverview's disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of Riverview's financial instruments at December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Cash and cash equivalents (carried at cost):

        The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets' fair values.

Note 14—Fair Value Measurements and Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)


Interest-bearing time deposit (carried at cost):

        Fair values for fixed-rate time certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. Riverview generally purchases amounts below the insured limit, thus limiting the amount of credit risk on these time deposits.


Securities:

        The fair value of securities available-for-sale (carried at fair value) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management's best estimate is used. Management's best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that include assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) are used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments, if applicable.


Mortgage loans held for sale (carried at lower of cost or fair value):

        The fair value of mortgages held for sale is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary market prices. If no such quoted prices exist, the fair value of the loan is determined using quoted market prices for a similar loan or loans, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan.

        The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturities or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.


Loans (carried at cost)

        The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans.

Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.


Impaired loans (generally carried at fair value):

        Impaired loans are those that are a c counted for under the standard regarding Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, in which Riverview has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan's collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-

party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. At December 31, 2012, the fair value consists of the loan balances of $1,038,000, net of a valuation allowance of $366,000.


Restricted investment in Bank stocks (carried at cost):

        The carrying amount of restricted investment in Bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.


Accrued interest receivable and payable (carried at cost):

        The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.


Deposit liabilities (carried at cost):

        The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.


Short-term borrowings (carried at cost):

        The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.


Long-term borrowings (carried at cost):

        Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. The prices were obtained from an active market and represent a fair value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.


Off-balance sheet financial instruments (disclosed at cost):

        Fair values for Riverview's off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing.

Independent Auditors' Report

Board of Directors
Union Bancorp, Inc.

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Union Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.


Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

        Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


Auditors' Responsibility

        Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

        An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

        We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.


Opinion

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Union Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Union Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        The significant accounting policies of Union Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary ("Company") are summarized below.


Nature of Business

        Union Bank & Trust ("Bank") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. It operates six offices and a loan and trust administration office in Central Pennsylvania. The Company's primary source of revenue is derived from loans to customers.


Principles of Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Union Bancorp, Inc., the Bank and the Bank's subsidiary, UBT Realty. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.


Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets and evaluation of other than temporary impairment losses.


Transfers of Financial Assets

        Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.


Investment Securities

        The Company accounts for securities under FASB ASC Topic 320, Investments -Debt and Equity Securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Securities classified as available-for-sale are those securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value.

        Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities are reported as increases or decreases in other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders' equity. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of the specific securities sold, are included in earnings. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of

217

Union Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2012 and 2011

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

each security. Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements, or anticipated movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Company's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations and other similar factors.

        Securities classified as held-to-maturity are those debt securities the Company has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of changes in market conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions. These securities are carried at cost adjusted for the amortization of premium and accretion of discount, computed by a method which approximates the interest method over the terms of the securities. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no securities classified as held-to-maturity.

        In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. When a determination is made that an other-than temporary impairment exists but the Company does not intend to sell the debt security and it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security prior to its anticipated recovery, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into (a) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss) and (b) the amount of the total other-than temporary impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.


Loans Receivable

        Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of an allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Company is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan. Premiums and discounts on purchased loans are amortized as adjustments to interest income using the effective yield method. The loans receivable portfolio is segmented into commercial, commercial real estate, mortgage, home equity and consumer loans.

        For all classes of loans receivable, the accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans including impaired loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management's judgment as to the collectibility of

218

Union Bancorp, Inc.

December 31, 2012 and 2011

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time (generally six months) and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. The past due status of all classes of loans receivable is determined based on contractual due dates for loan payments.

        The Company sold fixed-rate mortgages to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, for which the Company retained servicing rights. The Company receives servicing fees of approximately 0.25% of the outstanding loan balance. Total loans sold to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh for both years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $-0-. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, loans serviced for the benefit of others were $10,685,302 and $15,495,152, respectively. Servicing assets are not material.


Allowance for Loan Losses

        The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represents management's estimate of losses inherent in its unfunded loan commitments and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The allowance for credit losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable are charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. Nonresidential consumer loans are generally charged off no later than 120 days past due on a contractual basis, earlier in the event of bankruptcy, or if there is an amount deemed uncollectible. Because all identified losses are immediately charged off, no portion of the allowance for loan losses is restricted to any individual loan or groups of loans, and the entire allowance is available to absorb any and all loan losses.

        The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance is based on the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

        The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers pools of loans by loan class including commercial and commercial real estate loans not considered impaired, as well as smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as mortgages, home equity and consumer loans.

December 31, 2012 and 2011

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

These pools of loans are evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates for each of these categories of loans, adjusted for qualitative factors. These qualitative risk factors include:

        Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management's best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation of changes in conditions in a narrative accompanying the allowance for loan loss calculation.

        An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

        A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and commercial real estate loans, by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

        A specific reserve is established for an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of substantially all of the Company's impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan's collateral.

        For commercial and commercial real estate loans, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include estimated costs to sell the property.

December 31, 2012 and 2011

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        For commercial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower's financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable agings or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets.

        Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual mortgage loans, home equity loans and consumer loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a troubled debt restructuring agreement.

        The allowance calculation methodology includes further segregation of loan classes into risk rating categories. To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured loan rating process encompassing both internal and external oversight. The Company's commercial loan officers and credit administration are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the commercial loans in their portfolio at origination and on an ongoing basis. An ongoing review of commercial loans is performed by the loan review officer. The Company also utilizes an external loan review consultant to conduct a loan review of its portfolio each year. The external consultant generally reviews all loan relationships exceeding a specified threshold. The borrower's overall financial condition, repayment sources, guarantors and value of collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated annually for commercial loans or when credit deficiencies arise, such as delinquent loan payments, for commercial and consumer loans. Credit quality risk ratings include regulatory classifications of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans criticized special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. Loans classified substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans not classified are rated pass.

        In addition, federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management. Based on management's comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate.


Restricted Stock

        Restricted stock, which represents required investments in the common stock of correspondent banks, is carried at cost and as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, consists of the common stock of Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB).

221

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the restricted stock as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Other Real Estate Owned

        Real estate properties acquired through foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value, less estimated selling costs, at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the real estate is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Net revenue and expenses from operations and additions to the valuation allowance are included in other expenses.


Troubled Debt Restructurings

        Loans whose terms are modified are classified as troubled debt restructurings if the Company grants such borrowers concessions and it is deemed that those borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring may include extending the maturity date of the loan, reducing the interest rate on the loan to a rate which is below market, a combination of rate adjustments and maturity extensions, or by other means including covenant modifications, forbearances or other concessions. Generally, interest is not accrued on loans that were on non-accrual status prior to the troubled debt restructuring until they have performed in accordance with the modified terms for a period of at least six months. Interest is accrued on troubled debt restructurings which were performing in accordance with their terms prior to the restructure and continue to perform in accordance with their modified terms. Management evaluates the allowance for loan losses with respect to troubled debt restructurings under the same policy and guidelines as all other performing loans are evaluated with respect to the allowance for loan losses.


Premises and Equipment

        Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 15 to 40 years for real estate improvements, 40 years for buildings and improvements, 5 to 7 years for equipment and fixtures, and 5 years for computer software. Gains or losses on dispositions of premises and equipment are included in income in the period of disposition.


Other Assets

        Other assets include net intangible assets of $-0-and $8,658 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing the premium paid for the core deposits of acquired branches. Core deposit amortization of $8,658 and $101,941 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 15 years.


Income Taxes

        Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and

liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with the Bank.

        The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes effective January 1, 2009. A tax position is recognized as a benefit at the largest amount that is more-likely-than not to be sustained in a tax examination based solely on its merits. An uncertain tax position will not be recognized if it has a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained. Under the threshold guidelines, the Company believes no significant uncertain tax positions exist, either individually or in the aggregate, that would result in recognition of a liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

        The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense.


Comprehensive Loss

        Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income (loss). Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and unrecognized gains and losses for defined benefit pension plans are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

        The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related tax effects, at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

 
  2012   2011  

Unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale, net of tax

  $ 441,271   $ 216,848  

Unrecognized pension losses, net of tax

    (855,363 )   (572,722 )
           

Total

  $ (414,092 ) $ (355,874 )
           


Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks

        Interest-bearing deposits in banks are carried at cost.


Advertising Costs

        The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $22,846 and $16,312 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Loss Per Share

        The Company has one class of common stock authorized, issued and outstanding which has a $1 par value. No shares of the Company's stock contain preferential rights or privileges.

        Losses per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.


Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

        For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks and short-term investments; all of which mature within ninety days. Short-term investments include $3,000,000 and $1,509,000 in federal funds sold at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. During 2012 and 2011, the Company paid income taxes of $-0-, and paid interest of $433,239 and $431,374, respectively. During 2012 and 2011, the Company transferred $95,730 and $387,973, respectively, of loans to other real estate owned.


Subsequent Events

        The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date of December 31, 2012 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through March 28, 2013, the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.


Reclassifications

        Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications. The reclassifications had no effect on gross revenues, gross expenses, net income, or the change in cash and cash equivalents and are not material to the previously issued consolidated financial statements.

        Management believes that the unrealized losses are temporary and the Company (a) does not have the intent to sell any of the debt securities prior to recovery and (b) it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell any of the debt securities prior to recovery. There were fifteen securities that had unrealized losses in mortgage-backed securities that relate primarily to securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and there were seven securities that had an unrealized loss reported for states and political subdivisions. There were nine securities that had an unrealized loss reported for collateralized mortgage obligations. There was one trust preferred security in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2012. These unrealized losses are predominantly attributable to changes in interest rates.

        Corporate debt securities owned by the Company consist of obligations of large publicly traded U.S. companies in the financial services, insurance, and automotive industries. The fair value of one corporate debt security is in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2012. The Company does not

2. Investment Securities (Continued)

invest in corporate debt securities with the intent to sell them for a profit in the near-term. The Company invests in corporate debt securities that we believe have a potential to appreciate in value over the long-term, while providing for a reasonable interest yield, and provide a steady stream of cash flows.

        The unrealized losses noted above are considered to be temporary impairments. Decline in the value of these debt securities is due only to interest rate fluctuations, rather than erosion of quality. As a result, the payment of contractual cash flows, including principal repayment, is not at risk. As management has the intent and ability to hold these investments until market recovery or maturity, none of the debt securities are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

        Equity securities owned by the Company consist of common and preferred stock of various financial services providers. The Company also buys and holds stocks of the companies that we believe have potential to be an acquirer or to be acquired, providing additional value. Considerations used to determine other-than-temporary impairment status to individual holdings include the length of time the stock has remained in an unrealized loss position, and the percentage of unrealized loss compared to the carrying cost of the stock, dividend reduction or suspension, market analyst reviews and expectations, and other pertinent news that would affect expectations for recovery or further decline. Management believes that there is no other-than-temporary impairment of equity securities as of December 31, 2012.

        The Company may grant a concession or modification for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial condition that it would not otherwise consider resulting in a modified loan which is then identified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). The Company may modify loans through rate reductions, extensions of maturity, interest only payments, or payment modifications to better match the timing of cash flows due under the modified terms with the cash flows from the borrowers' operations. Loan modifications are intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or

repossession of the collateral. TDRs are considered impaired loans for purposes of calculating the Bank's allowance for loan losses.

        The Company identifies loans for potential restructure primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower's financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future.

        The following table reflects information regarding the Company's troubled debt restructurings for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and troubled debt restructuring loans which have subsequently defaulted in the last twelve months. There were no troubled debt restructuring loans which have subsequently defaulted during 2012 and 2011.

7. Income Taxes (Continued)

        The Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset of $665,827 and $927,770 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to reflect the benefit of temporary differences. Realization is dependent on generating sufficient future taxable income as well as potential tax planning strategies. At December 31, 2012, the Company established a valuation allowance of $66,980 for charitable contributions, $774,382 for low income housing credits, $571,998 for net operating loss carryforwards, $189,682 for AMT credit carryforwards and $204,199 for capital loss limitation. At December 31, 2011, the Company established a valuation allowance of $54,877 for charitable contributions, $651,724 for low income housing credits, $497,542 for net operating loss carryforwards, and $189,682 for AMT credit carryforwards. The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012 was based upon management's assessment that it was more likely than not that a portion of the charitable contributions, low income housing credits, net operating loss carryforward, AMT credit carryforwards and the capital loss limitation would not be realized. Charitable contributions have a carryforward period of five years and the first of the deferred tax assets for these charitable contributions began to expire in 2010. Additionally, charitable contributions can offset only 10% of the taxable income before deducting these items and the Company continues to make contributions. The low income housing credits began in 2006 and have a 20 year carryforward period; therefore, the first of these credits will expire in 2026. The Company will be adding approximately $122,000 of additional credits each year through 2015 and taxable income has not been sufficient to utilize any of these credits. The net operating loss carryforwards have a 20 year carryforward period that begin to expire in 2030, the capital loss limitation has a five year carryforward period that begin to expire in 2015 and the AMT credit carryforward does not expire.

        The differences between income tax expenses at statutory U.S. federal income tax rates and the Company's effective income tax rates are as follows:

 
  2012   2011  

Tax on pre-tax income (loss) at statutory federal rate

  $ 90,000   $ (117,104 )

9. Employee Benefit Plans

        The Company sponsors a noncontributory profit sharing plan covering eligible employees. Costs of the profit sharing plan are funded as accrued. There was no profit sharing contribution made in 2012 and 2011. Contributions to the plan are discretionary and are determined annually by the Board of Directors.

        The Bank has a 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees that elect to enroll. Contributions are based on a specified percentage of employee contributions. No Company contributions were made to this plan in 2012 and 2011.

        The Company has a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan for the benefit of certain executive officers and directors. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, other liabilities include $464,541 and $481,393 accrued under the Plan. Compensation expense includes $55,890 and $59,683, relating to the supplemental executive retirement plan for 2012 and 2011, respectively. To fund the benefits under this plan, the Company is the owner of single premium life insurance policies on participants in the non-qualified retirement plan. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the cash value of these policies was $1,690,974 and $1,820,445, respectively.

        The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees. Plan benefits are based on average salary and years of service. The Company elected to freeze all benefits earned under the plan effective December 31, 2006.

        The Company accounts for the defined pension plan in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 715, Compensation—Retirement Plans. This guidance requires the Company to recognize the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation) of its benefit plan.

        The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and the amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The measurement date for purposes of these valuations

10. Related Party Transactions

        Certain members of the Board of Directors of the Company provide certain miscellaneous services to the Company. Charges to the Company for these services were $39,289 and $20,256 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        Certain directors and executive officers of the Company, including their immediate families and companies in which they are principal owners (more than 10%), were indebted to the Company. In the opinion of management, such loans are consistent with sound banking practices and are within applicable regulatory bank lending limitations. The Company relies on the directors and executive officers for the identification of their associates.

        Annual activity consisted of the following:

 
  2012   2011  

Beginning balance

  $ 2,036,977   $ 2,712,540  

New loans

    794,000     700,794

Ending balance

  $ 1,462,404   $ 2,036,977  
           

11. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

        The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

        The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

        Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Total commitments to extend credit at December 31, 2012 include $13,004,163 in floating rate and fixed rate loan commitments. Fixed rate commitments are at rates between 3.45% and 14.0% and expire on various dates through March 31, 2013. The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant, and equipment; residential real estate; and income-producing commercial properties.

        Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public

and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Commitments under outstanding standby letters of credit amounted to $1,245,649 at December 31, 2012, and expire on various dates through October 21, 2013. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds real estate as collateral to support those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

12. Fair Values of Financial Measurements and Fair Values of Financial Instruments

        Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company's financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year-ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year-end.

        The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in some instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

        The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

        FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1

measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC Topic 820 are as follows:

        An asset's or liability's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

        For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

        The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company's assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company's disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

        The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate its fair value disclosures:

    Cash and Due from Banks

            The carrying values for cash and due from banks equal those assets' fair values.

    Short-Term Investments

            The carrying values for short-term investments approximate their fair values.

    Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks

            The carrying values for interest-bearing deposits in banks approximate their fair values.

    Investment Securities/Pension Plan Assets

            The fair value of securities available-for-sale (carried at fair value) and pension plan assets are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

    Loans

            For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, fair value equals carrying value. The fair values for fixed-rate residential mortgage loans, consumer loans, commercial and commercial real estate loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using comparable current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers at similar credit risk.

12. Fair Values of Financial Measurements and Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)

    Impaired Loans

            Fair value of impaired loans is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value consists of the loan balances of $6,117,738 and $7,042,253, net of a valuation allowance of $455,972 and $662,439 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

    Restricted Investment in Bank Stock

            The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.

    Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

            The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

    Deposit Liabilities

            The fair values of demand and savings deposits equal their carrying values. Adjusting such fair value for any value from retaining those deposit relationships in the future is prohibited. That component, known as a deposit intangible, is not considered in the value disclosed nor is it recorded in the balance sheet. The carrying values for variable rate money market accounts approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using rates currently offered for similar deposits.

    Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments

            Fair values of the Company's unused commitments to originate loans and unused lines of credit are deemed to be the same as their carrying values.

13. Concentration of Credit Risk

        The Company grants commercial and residential loans to customers primarily in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is substantially dependent upon the general economic conditions of the region.

        The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with regional and national institutions, which may exceed FDIC limits. Management mitigates this risk through the selection of well capitalized institutions.

14. Employment Agreement

        The Company entered into employment agreements with its President and Chief Financial Officer, which include minimum annual salary commitments. These agreements contain rolling-term options to

246

14. Employment Agreement (Continued)

renew for an additional three-year period and severance payments for three-year periods after resignation or termination, except for cause as defined in the agreements.

15. Regulatory Restrictions of Banking Subsidiaries

        The Company is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare due to regulatory considerations. The Pennsylvania Banking Code provides that cash dividends may be declared and paid only out of accumulated net earnings. In addition, dividends would be prohibited if the effect would cause the Company's capital to fall below minimum capital ratios.

        Included in cash and due from banks are balances required to be maintained by the Company on deposit with the Federal Reserve. The amounts of such reserves are based on percentages of certain deposit types and totaled $-0- at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

16. Capital Adequacy

        The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

        Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

        As of December 31, 2012, the Bank was well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk -based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank's

        Tier 1 capital consists of total equity plus qualifying capital securities, less unrealized gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income and certain intangible assets. Total risk based capital is comprised of Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan loss and a portion of the unrealized gains on certain equity securities. The Tier 1 leverage ratio reflects Tier 1 capital divided by average total assets for the period. Average assets used in the calculation exclude certain intangible assets.

17. Subsequent Event

        On March 7, 2013, Riverview Financial Corporation ("Riverview") and the Company announced a definitive agreement and plan of consolidation.

AMENDED AND RESTATED
AGREEMENT AND
PLAN OF CONSOLIDATION

        This Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Consolidation (the " Agreement ") is entered into as of the 24th day of April, 2013, by and between Riverview Financial Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation (" Riverview "), and Union Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (" Union "). Capitalized terms used herein shall be as defined in the text hereof or in Section 8.12.

BACKGROUND

        The Board of Directors of each of Riverview and Union entered into an Agreement and Plan of Consolidation dated March 7, 2013 (the " Original Agreement ").

        The Board of Directors of each of Riverview and Union desire to amend and restate in its entirety the Original Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions herein.

        In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Riverview and Union will consolidate (the " Consolidation ") to form a new Pennsylvania corporation (" Newco "), under the name "Riverview Financial Corp." Immediately thereafter, Union Bank and Trust Company, a Pennsylvania-chartered bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Union (" Union Bank "), will be merged with and into Riverview Bank, a Pennsylvania-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Riverview (" Riverview Bank ") pursuant to a Plan of Merger in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the " Bank Plan of Merger ").

        Each of the directors and executive officers of Union executed a letter agreement in favor of Riverview, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B , dated as of March 7, 2013 (the " Union Affiliate Letter "), pursuant to which each such director or executive officer has agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of Union Common Stock owned by such Person in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

        Each of the directors and executive officers of Riverview executed a letter agreement in favor of Union, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C , dated as of March 7, 2013 (the " Riverview Affiliate Letter "), pursuant to which each such director or executive officer has agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of Riverview Common Stock owned by such Person in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

        The parties intend the Consolidation to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the " Code "). The parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the business transactions described in this Agreement and to prescribe certain conditions thereto.

        NOW, THEREFORE, to effect the Consolidation, and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto do hereby represent, warrant, covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
PLAN OF CONSOLIDATION

         1.1      Consolidation .    Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, as of the Effective Time:

            (a)   Riverview and Union shall consolidate to form Newco pursuant to the provisions of Section 1921 through 1932 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (the " BCL "), whereupon the separate existence of Riverview and Union shall cease, and Newco shall be the resulting corporation;

A-1


            (b)   Subject to Sections 1.3 and 1.4 below, each share of Riverview Common Stock and Union Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares or shares of any party hereto owned by any other party hereto) will be converted into and exchanged for, and Newco shall issue, in the case of Riverview, one share of Newco Common Stock and, in the case of Union, 1.95 shares of Newco Common Stock (each, an " Exchange Ratio ").

        Each share of common stock of Riverview and Union to be converted into Newco Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.1(b) shall, by virtue of the Consolidation and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, cease to be outstanding, be canceled and retired, and each holder of share certificates evidencing shares of common stock of Riverview and Union to be converted into the right to receive Newco Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.1(b) shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to the shares represented thereby, except the right to receive the Newco Common Stock therefor, without interest thereon, upon the surrender of the share certificates evidencing the common stock of Riverview and Union in accordance with Section 1.6 hereof.

            (c)   The effect of the Consolidation shall be as set forth in Section 1929 of the BCL.

            (d)   As of the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of Newco shall read, in their entirety, as set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto, and Newco shall be authorized under such Articles of Incorporation to issue five million (5,000,000) shares of common stock, no par value (" Newco Common Stock "), and three million (3,000,000) shares of blank check preferred stock. As of the Effective Time, Newco shall change its name to "Riverview Financial Corp." As of the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Newco shall read in their entirety as set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto, until altered, amended, or repealed as provided therein or as provided by law.

            (e)   As of the Effective Date, the board of directors of Newco shall consist of sixteen (16) directors, who shall include eleven (11) directors of Riverview, to be designated by Riverview (the " Riverview Directors "), and five (5) directors of Union, to be designated by Union, with Riverview's agreement, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, from among its then-current, independent, non-employee directors (the " Union Directors "). The classes of the Board of Directors of Newco in which the Riverview Directors and Union Directors will serve shall be mutually agreed by Union and Riverview, with the understanding that appointees of each party will be evenly distributed as close as possible among the three classes of directorship of Newco. Each of the Riverview Directors and Union Directors shall serve as a director of Newco for the initial term stated for such director's class in the Newco Articles of Incorporation and until his or her successor is elected and qualified in accordance with applicable law and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Newco. For three (3) years after the Effective Date, the resulting Newco Board of Directors shall nominate, and recommend for election by the shareholders of Newco, the Riverview Directors and Union Directors, provided that such individuals continue to meet the eligibility requirements for a director under Newco's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

            (f)    The officers of Riverview immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of Newco after the Effective Time, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

            (g)   Immediately following the Effective Time, Union Bank shall merge with and into Riverview Bank with Riverview Bank as the resulting institution (the " Bank Merger ").

            (h)   Effective as of the effective date of the Bank Merger, the Board of Directors of Riverview Bank shall consist of the Riverview Directors and the Union Directors, each to hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified in accordance with applicable law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Riverview Bank. For three (3) years after the Effective

A-2


    Date, the resulting Newco Board of Directors shall vote in a manner necessary so that Newco will vote, as sole shareholder of the resulting Riverview Bank, for the election to the Board of Directors of Riverview Bank, the Riverview Directors and the Union Directors.

            (i)    Effective as of the effective date of the Bank Merger, the officers of Riverview Bank shall consist of the officers of Riverview Bank in office immediately prior to the effective date of the Bank Merger, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

        1.2    Treatment of Outstanding Stock Options .

            (a)   Each holder of an option to purchase shares of common stock of Riverview (the " Options ") that: A) is outstanding at the Effective Time; B) has been granted pursuant to, the Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Option Plan and is set forth on Schedule 2.2 (the " Riverview Stock Option Plan "); and C) would otherwise survive the Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive, in cancellation of such Options, an option to acquire shares of Newco Common Stock on the terms set forth below (a " Newco Stock Option ").

            (b)   A Newco Stock Option shall be a stock option to acquire shares of Newco Common Stock with the following terms: A) the number of shares of Newco Common Stock which may be acquired pursuant to such Newco Stock Option shall be equal to the number of shares of Riverview Common Stock covered by the Option; B) the exercise price per share of Newco Common Stock shall be equal to the exercise price per share of Riverview Common Stock of such Option; C) the duration and other terms of such Newco Stock Option shall be identical to the duration and other terms of such Option, except that all references to Riverview shall be deemed to be references to Newco and shall remain exercisable until the stated expiration date of the corresponding Option; and D) Newco shall assume each such Option, whether vested or not vested, as contemplated by Section 424(a) of the Code. Subject to the foregoing, the Riverview Stock Option Plan, the Options and any other options or other rights to acquire Riverview Common Stock issued thereunder shall terminate at the Effective Date.

            (c)   Prior to the Effective Time, Newco shall take appropriate action to reserve for issuance and, if not previously registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " Securities Act "), register the number of shares of Newco Common Stock necessary to satisfy Newco's obligations with respect to the issuance of Newco Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of Newco Stock Options and under this Section 1.2.

            (d)   Prior to the Effective Date (to the extent required as determined by Riverview and Union), Newco shall receive agreements (" Optionee Agreements ") from each holder of an Option, pursuant to which each such holder agrees to accept such Newco Stock Options in exchange for the cancellation of such Options, as of the Effective Time.

            (e)   Upon consummation of the Consolidation, Newco shall assume the Riverview Stock Option Plan such that Newco shall be considered to have adopted the Riverview Stock Option Plan (as so adopted, the " Newco Stock Option Plan "), and A) incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to purchase Newco Common Stock may be issued by Newco to the persons indicated in Section 6 of the Newco Stock Option Plan, B) shares of Newco Common Stock that may be issued under the Newco Stock Option Plan shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 170,000 shares of Newco Common Stock (less the number of shares subject to Newco Stock Options issued under subsection (a) above), as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 19 of the Newco Stock Option Plan, C) for purposes of Section 2 of the Newco Stock Option Plan, the Newco Stock Option Plan will be deemed to be adopted and effective as of the Effective Date and the Newco Stock Option Plan shall terminate on, and no options shall be granted after, the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date and D) all references in the Riverview Stock Option Plan to

A-3


    (i) "Riverview Financial Corporation" or "the Company" shall refer to "Newco" and (ii) "the Stock" shall refer to "Newco Common Stock". Under Section 422 of the Code, adoption of the Consolidation Agreement by the shareholders of Riverview and Union shall constitute approval of the Newco Stock Option Plan.


        1.3
     Common Stock Adjustments .     If, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, shares of common stock of Riverview or Union shall be changed into a different number of shares or a different class of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, combination, exchange of shares or readjustment, or if a stock dividend thereon shall be declared with a record date within such period (a " Common Stock Adjustment "), then the number of shares of Newco Common Stock into which a share of that party's common stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 1.1 above (i.e., the applicable Exchange Ratio), will be appropriately and proportionately adjusted so that the number of such shares of Newco Common Stock into which a share of that party's common stock shall be converted will equal the number of shares of Newco Common Stock which holders of shares of that party's common stock would have received pursuant to such Common Stock Adjustment had the record date therefor been immediately following the Effective Time.


        1.4
     Fractional Shares .     No fractional shares of Newco Common Stock and no certificates or scrip certificates therefor shall be issued to represent any such fractional interest, and any holder thereof shall be paid an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of the fractional interest as of the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Date, which fair market value shall be the product obtained by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder is entitled by $10.75.


        1.5
     Rights of Dissenting Shareholders .     The shareholders of Riverview and Union shall be entitled to and may exercise dissenters' rights, if and to the extent they are entitled to do so under the provisions of Subchapter D of Chapter 15 of the BCL. Shareholders of Riverview and Union who have properly exercised their dissenters' rights are referred to herein as " Dissenting Shareholders " and each share of Riverview and Union held by a Dissenting Shareholder is referred to herein as a " Dissenting Share ."

        1.6    Mechanics of Consolidation .

            (a)   Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the closing of the Consolidation will occur on a mutually agreeable date, which date shall be not later than thirty (30) business days following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent set forth in Article V of this Agreement or on such other date as may be agreed to by the parties (the " Closing Date "). Each of the parties agrees to use its best efforts to cause the Consolidation to be completed as soon as practicable after the receipt of shareholder approval, final regulatory approval of the Consolidation and the expiration of all required waiting periods. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the " Closing ") shall take place on the Closing Date at the office of Barley Snyder, 50 N. Fifth St., 2nd Floor, P.O. Box 942, Reading, PA 19603 at 10:00 a.m., or at such other place or time as Riverview and Union shall agree. The Consolidation shall be effective at the date (the " Effective Date ") and time (the " Effective Time ") specified in the Articles of Consolidation filed with the Pennsylvania Department of State, Corporation Bureau.

            (b)   As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, each holder of a certificate for shares of common stock of Riverview or Union outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled, upon surrender of such certificate for cancellation to Registrar and Transfer Company, as the designated agent of Newco (the " Agent "), to receive Newco Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled on the basis above set forth. Until surrendered, each certificate which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Riverview or Union common stock shall not be transferable on the books of Newco but shall be deemed (except for the payment of dividends as provided below) to evidence ownership of the number of whole shares of Newco Common Stock into which such shares of common stock have been converted on the basis above

A-4


    set forth; provided, however, that, until the holder of such certificate shall have surrendered it for exchange as set forth above, no dividend payable to holders of record of Newco Common Stock as of any date subsequent to the Effective Date of Consolidation shall be paid to such holder. However, upon surrender and exchange of the Riverview or Union certificates as herein provided, the Agent shall issue the number of shares of Newco Common Stock to which the holder of such certificates is entitled, and shall pay to the record holder of such certificates an amount equal to all dividends that were paid or payable with respect to such Newco Common Stock between the Effective Date of the Consolidation and the date of such exchange, without interest. From and after the Effective Date, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Newco of the shares of common stock of Riverview or Union which were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

            (c)   As promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, Newco shall send or cause to be sent to each shareholder of record of Riverview and Union Common Stock transmittal materials for use in exchanging certificates representing Riverview and Union Common Stock for certificates representing Newco Common Stock into which the Riverview and Union Common Stock have been converted in the Consolidation. Certificates representing shares of Newco Common Stock and checks for cash in lieu of fractional shares shall be mailed to former shareholders of Riverview and Union as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event later than twenty (20) business days following the receipt of certificates representing former shares of Riverview and Union Common Stock duly endorsed and/or accompanied by the materials referenced in the instructions accompanying the transmittal materials.

            (b)   From and after the Effective Date, Newco shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Date, an officer, employee, director or manager of Union or a Union Subsidiary (the " Indemnified Parties ") against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement (which settlement shall require the prior written consent of Newco, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (a " Claim ") in which an Indemnified Party is, or is threatened to be made, a party or a witness based in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of Union or a Union Subsidiary if such Claim pertains to any matter of fact arising, existing or occurring prior to the Effective Date (including, without limitation, the Consolidation and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed prior to, at, or after the Effective Date (the " Indemnified Liabilities ") to the full extent permitted under applicable law as of the date hereof or amended prior to the Effective Date and under the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Union or a Union Subsidiary as in effect as of the date hereof (and Newco shall pay expenses in advance of the full disposition of any such action or proceeding to each of the Indemnified Parties to the full extent permitted by applicable law and Newco's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws).

In the defense of any Claim covered by this Section 7.2, Newco shall have the right to direct the defense of such action and retain counsel of its choice; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties as a group may retain a single law firm to represent them with respect to each matter under this Section if there is, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the positions of Newco and the Indemnified Parties (the Indemnified Parties may also retain more than one law firm if there is, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict of any significant issues between the positions of two or more Indemnified Parties). Newco shall have an obligation to advance funds to satisfy an obligation of Newco or any successor to Newco under this Section 7.2 to the same extent that Newco would be obligated to advance funds under the indemnification provisions of its Articles of Incorporation and/or Bylaws.


        7.3

    Re:    Shareholder Voting Agreement

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

        The undersigned shareholder (" Shareholder ") of Riverview Financial Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (" Riverview "), in order to induce Union Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (" Union "), to enter into the Agreement and Plan of Consolidation of even date herewith executed by and between Riverview and Union (the " Consolidation Agreement "), hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

            1.     Shareholder hereby represents and warrants that Shareholder owns of record, or beneficially, good and valid title to all of the shares of the capital stock of Riverview, and options to acquire shares of capital stock of Riverview, shown on Schedule 1 attached hereto, free and clear of any and all mortgages, liens, encumbrances, charges, claims, restrictions, pledges, security interests, voting trusts or agreements, or impositions, except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 1 , and such shares represent all of the shares, or rights to acquire shares, of capital stock of Riverview beneficially owned by Shareholder, as determined in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (" SEC ") Rule 13d-3. For purposes hereof, the capital stock of Riverview and the options to acquire capital stock of Riverview and set forth on Schedule 1 shall be referred to herein as the "Shares". It is understood and agreed that the term "Shares" shall not include any securities beneficially owned by Shareholder as a trustee or fiduciary, and that this Agreement is not in any way intended to affect the exercise by the Shareholder of Shareholder's fiduciary responsibility with respect to any such securities.

            2.     Shareholder will vote, or cause to be voted, all of the Shares in person or by proxy, (a) for approval of the Consolidation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby at any meeting of the Riverview shareholders duly held for such purpose and (b) against any action that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, or adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Consolidation Agreement, unless and until Riverview has the right to terminate the Consolidation Agreement as set forth therein (the " Expiration Date "). Shareholder will use his or her reasonable efforts to cause any Shares over which Shareholder shares voting power to be voted in the same manner

            3.     Shareholder will not, nor will Shareholder permit any entity under Shareholder's control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust or subject any of the Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares in any manner inconsistent with this Agreement.

            4.     Shareholder will not sell, transfer, pledge, give, hypothecate, assign or otherwise alienate or transfer, by proxy or otherwise (including any transfer by operation of law), the Shares or any of Shareholder's voting rights with respect to the Shares, except to a person who is or becomes a party to a voting agreement with Union in the form of this Agreement.

            5.     Irreparable damage would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and, therefore, Union shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity to which it may be entitled.

            6.     The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance by Shareholder of its obligations hereunder will not, constitute a violation of, conflict

A-a-5

    with, result in a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default) under, or result in the creation of any lien on any of such Shares under, (i) any contract, commitment or agreement, to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder is bound, or (ii) any judgment, order or ruling applicable to Shareholder.

            7.     Shareholder has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, to vote the Shares as required herein and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized, and no other actions on the part of Shareholder are required in order to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Shareholder and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms.

            8.     Shareholder understands that the shares of Newco Common Stock into which his or her Shares are to be converted will be issued in a transaction subject to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " 1933 Act "), and registered on a Registration Statement on Form S-4. Shareholder further understands that, should he or she become an affiliate of Newco, within the meaning of SEC Rule 144, Shareholder may become subject to certain restrictions with respect to the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Newco Common Stock to be received in connection with the Consolidation contemplated by the Consolidation Agreement (the "Consolidation").

    Accordingly, Shareholder acknowledges, agrees and undertakes that he or she will not, directly or indirectly, make any sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the Newco Common Stock owned beneficially by him or her unless (i) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made pursuant to an effective registration or a valid exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, (ii) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made pursuant to the resale provisions contained in Rule 144, or (iii) in the opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Newco or under a "no-action" letter obtained by Shareholder from the staff of the SEC, such sale, transfer or other disposition will not violate the registration requirements of, or is otherwise exempt from registration under, the 1933 Act. Shareholder agrees that a restrictive legend reflecting the foregoing may be imprinted on the face of the stock certificate(s) representing the Newco Common Stock to be issued to him or her in connection with the Consolidation. Shareholder further understands and agrees that the transfer agent for Newco will be instructed not to effect, or to record on the books of Newco, any transfer of shares of Newco Common Stock owned beneficially by Shareholder unless such person has satisfied the requirements of this Agreement.

            9.     This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and shall be binding upon the heirs, successors and assigns (as applicable) of the parties hereto.

            10.   Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

            11.   Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Consolidation Agreement.

            12.   It is understood and hereby agreed that this Agreement relates solely to the capacity of Shareholder as a shareholder or beneficial owner of the Shares and is not in any way intended to affect the exercise of Shareholder's responsibilities and fiduciary duties as a director or officer of Riverview or any of its subsidiaries. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any

    obligation by the Shareholder to exercise any options to acquire shares of capital stock of Riverview.

            13.   This Agreement shall terminate and shall have no further force or effect as of the earlier of the Expiration Date and the Effective Time of the Consolidation.

When authorizing such issue of a new certificate the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his heirs or legal representatives, as the case may be, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or give the Corporation a bond in such form and with surety or sureties, with fixed or open penalty, as shall be satisfactory to the Board of Directors, as indemnity for any liability or expense which it may incur by reason of the original certificate remaining outstanding.

Board of Directors
Riverview Financial Corporation
Third and Market Streets
Halifax, Pennsylvania 17032

Dear Members of the Board,

        This letter sets forth Ambassador Financial Group, Inc.'s ("Ambassador") Opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view to the common shareholders of Riverview Financial Corporation ("Riverview") of Halifax, Pennsylvania, of Riverview's agreement and plan of consolidation with Union Bancorp, Inc. ("Union") of Pottsville, Pennsylvania, to form a new entity, "Newco." Each Riverview outstanding share of common stock will be exchanged for one share of Newco common stock, and each share of Union common stock will be exchanged for 1.95 shares of Newco common stock. Based on current outstanding shares of common stock, holders of Riverview common stock will own 63.5% and holders of Union common stock will own 36.5% of Newco.

        While the combination of Riverview and Union into a new entity is a consolidation, it is essentially an acquisition of Union by Riverview, in that Riverview common shareholders will own a larger portion of Newco than Union common shareholders, and current Riverview board members will represent a larger portion of the Newco board than current Union board members. Thus, in rendering its opinion, Ambassador had to determine the fair value of Riverview and Union common stock as appropriate. Fair value is defined as the price at which the shares of Riverview or Union common stock would change hands between a willing seller and a willing buyer, with each having a reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.

        In determining a fair value of Riverview common stock, the primary emphasis was on the pricing of comparable banks, supported by various other analyses, including a discounted dividends analysis.

        In determining the fair value of Union common stock, the primary emphasis was on a comparable transaction analysis. Adjustments were then considered relative to the differences between Union and the comparable transactions. Other analyses, including, but not limited to, a contribution analysis, were used as appropriate.

Additionally, in rendering our Opinion, we:

    Reviewed and analyzed the Agreement and Plan of Consolidation.

    Reviewed Union's audited consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and related audited consolidated statements of operations, statements of changes in shareholders equity and statements of cash flows for the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2010.

    Reviewed Riverview's Annual Reports on form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

    Reviewed Union's and Riverview's unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and income statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

    Reviewed Union's and Riverview's quarterly call reports for March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012.

    Reviewed and analyzed other publicly available information regarding Union and Riverview.

    Reviewed certain non-public information, including business plans, financial projections and third party loan reviews regarding Union.

    Reviewed certain non-public information, including business plans and financial projections regarding Riverview.

    Reviewed recently reported stock prices and trading activity of Union and Riverview common stock.

    Discussed past and current operations, financial condition and future prospects of each company with senior executives of Riverview and Union.

    Reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available financial, transaction and stock market data of banking companies that we selected as relevant to our analysis.

    Conducted other analyses and reviewed other information we considered necessary or appropriate.

    Incorporated our assessment of the overall economic environment and market conditions, as well as our experience in mergers and acquisitions, bank stock valuations and other transactions.

        In rendering our Opinion, we also relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy, reasonableness and completeness of the information, projections and forecasts provided by Riverview and Union ("Materials Received"). In particular, we relied upon the results and findings from Riverview's review of Union's loan portfolio and pension plan; consultants engaged by Riverview to assess accounting marks for tax assets, non-impaired loans and deposits; and discussions of the results and projections with executive management of Riverview.

        Ambassador does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, reasonableness and completeness of the Materials Received nor the publicly available information used in our analysis. All of the data is believed to be reliable, but the completeness and the accuracy of such information cannot be guaranteed, and Ambassador did not independently verify the information.

        This Opinion is based on conditions as they existed and the information we received, as of the date of this Opinion. Ambassador does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this Opinion. Ambassador did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor, and we believe that these analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of such analyses and the factors considered by it, without considering all such analyses and factors, could create an incomplete view of the underlying process and conclusions. Any analysis such as those undertaken are subject to uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and are beyond the control of Ambassador.

        Ambassador expressed no opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to officers, directors, or employees of any party to the consolidation, or any class of such persons relative to the consideration paid in the consolidation or with respect to the fairness of such compensation. Ambassador expressed no opinion as to the price at which Riverview common stock or Union common stock might trade in the future.

        Ambassador's fairness committee approved the issuance of this Fairness Opinion Letter.

        Ambassador acted as Riverview's financial advisor in this transaction; has received a portion of its fee for its engagement; will receive a portion of its fee upon the execution of a definitive agreement; will receive a portion of its fee upon distribution of a proxy statement regarding the transaction; and will receive the remainder of its fee contingent upon the closing of the transaction.

Table of Contents

        During the past two years, Ambassador has received no other compensation from Riverview, and at the time of issuance of this opinion, no other services have been contemplated or contracted. During the past two years, Ambassador has not received any compensation from Union, and no services have been contemplated or contracted.

        During the past two years, there have been no material relationships between Ambassador and both Riverview or Union.

        Based on the foregoing, our experience and other factors we deemed relevant, it is our Opinion that as of the date hereof that the combination of Riverview with Union to form Newco, based upon the aforementioned exchange ratios, is fair to the common shareholders of Riverview from a financial point of view.

    Respectfully submitted,

Annex C

March 7, 2013

The Board of Directors
Union Bancorp, Inc.
25 South Centre Street
Pottsville, PA 17901

Members of the Board:

        You have requested our opinion as investment bankers as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders of Union Bancorp, Inc. ("UBPT") of the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) in the proposed merger (the "Merger") of UBPT and Riverview Financial Corporation ("RIVE") as set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 7, 2013, between UBPT and RIVE (the "Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, RIVE and UBPT will consolidate to form a new Pennsylvania corporation ("Newco") under the name "Riverview Financial Corp." and immediately thereafter, Union Bank and Trust Company, a Pennsylvania-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of UBPT ("Union Bank"), will be merged with and into Riverview Bank, a Pennsylvania-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of RIVE ("Riverview Bank"). Each share of RIVE and UBPT (the "UBPT Common Shares") outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than dissenting shares or shares of UBPT or RIVE owned by UBPT or RIVE or by any of the respective wholly-owned subsidiaries) will be converted into and exchanged for, and Newco shall issue, in the case of Union, 1.95 shares of Newco Common Stock (the "Exchange Ratio") and in the case of Riverview, one share of Newco Common Stock. The terms of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

        Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., has acted as financial advisor to the UBPT and not as an advisor to or agent of any other person. As part of our investment banking business, we are continually engaged in the valuation of bank and bank holding company securities in connection with acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for various other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, we have experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of the banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may, from time to time purchase securities from, and sell securities to, UBPT and RIVE, and as a market maker in securities, we may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of UBPT and RIVE for our own account and for the accounts of our customers. To the extent we have any such position as of the date of this opinion it has been disclosed to UBPT. We have acted exclusively for the Board of Directors of UBPT in rendering this fairness opinion and will receive a fee from UBPT for our services. A portion of our fee is contingent upon the successful completion of the Merger.

        In the past two years, we have not provided investment banking and financial advisory services to UBPT or RIVE. We may in the future provide investment banking and financial advisory services to RIVE and receive compensation for such services.

        In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, analyzed and relied upon material bearing upon the financial and operating condition of UBPT and RIVE and the Merger, including among other things, the following: (i) a draft of the Agreement dated March 4, 2013 (the most recent draft made available to us); (ii) the Annual Reports to Stockholders for the three years ended December 31, 2011 of UBPT and the Annual Reports to Stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the three years ended December 31, 2011 of RIVE; (iii) certain quarterly internal management reports and quarterly call reports and (iv) other financial information concerning the businesses and operations of UBPT and RIVE furnished to us by UBPT and RIVE for purposes of our analysis. We have also held discussions with senior management of UBPT and RIVE regarding the past and current business

Table of Contents

operations, regulatory relations, financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies and such other matters as we have deemed relevant to our inquiry. In addition, we have compared certain financial and stock market information for UBPT and RIVE with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded, reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the banking industry and performed such other studies and analyses as we considered appropriate.

        In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to us or publicly available and we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such information or assumed any responsibility for such verification or accuracy. We have relied upon the management of UBPT and RIVE as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections (and the assumptions and bases therefore) provided to us, and we have assumed that such forecasts and projections reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments of such managements and that such forecasts and projections will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods currently estimated by such managements. We are not experts in the independent verification of the adequacy of allowances for loan and lease losses and we have assumed, with your consent that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for UBPT and RIVE are adequate to cover such losses. In rendering our opinion, we have not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals of the property, assets or liabilities of UBPT or RIVE, nor have we examined any individual credit files.

        We have assumed that, in all respects material to our analyses, the following: (i) the Merger will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement (the final terms of which will not differ in any respect material to our analyses from the draft reviewed) with no additional payments or adjustments to the Exchange Ratio; (ii) the representations and warranties of each party in the Agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the Agreement are true and correct; (iii) each party to the Agreement and all related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents; (iv) all conditions to the completion of the Merger will be satisfied without any waivers or modifications to the Agreement; and (v) in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the Merger, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity or the contemplated benefits of the Merger, including the cost savings, revenue enhancements and related expenses expected to result from the Merger.

        We have considered such financial and other factors as we have deemed appropriate under the circumstances, including, among others, the following: (i) the historical and current financial position and results of operations of UBPT and RIVE; (ii) the assets and liabilities of UBPT and RIVE; and (iii) the nature and terms of certain other merger transactions involving banks and bank holding companies. We have also taken into account our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and our experience in other transactions, as well as our experience in securities valuation and knowledge of the banking industry generally. Our opinion is necessarily based upon conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof and the information made available to us through the date hereof. Our opinion does not address the underlying business decision of UBPT to engage in the Merger, or the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to the UBPT.

        This opinion addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date hereof, to the holders of the UBPT Common Shares of the Exchange Ratio in the Merger. We express no view or opinion as to any terms or other aspects of the Merger.

Table of Contents

        Further, we are not expressing any opinion about the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to any of the UBPT's officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the compensation to the public shareholders of the UBPT in connection with the Merger.

        In addition, this opinion does not in any manner address the prices at which the RIVE common stock will trade following the consummation of the Merger and we express no view or opinion as to how the stockholders of UBPT should vote at the stockholders meeting to be held in connection with the Merger.

        This opinion has been reviewed and approved by our Fairness Opinion Committee in conformity with our policies and procedures established under the requirements of Rule 5150 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Exchange Ratio in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to holders of the UBPT Common Shares.

    Very truly yours,

            (2)   Paragraph (1) shall not apply to and dissenters rights shall be available without regard to the exception provided in that paragraph in the case of:

                (i)  (Repealed).

               (ii)  Shares of any preferred or special class or series unless the articles, the plan or the terms of the transaction entitle all shareholders of the class or series to vote thereon and require for the adoption of the plan or the effectuation of the transaction the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders of the class or series.

              (iii)  Shares entitled to dissenters rights under section 1906(c) (relating to dissenters rights upon special treatment).

        (c)    Grant of optional dissenters rights. —The bylaws or a resolution of the board of directors may direct that all or a part of the shareholders shall have dissenters rights in connection with any corporate action or other transaction that would otherwise not entitle such shareholders to dissenters rights.

            (2)   a copy of this subchapter.

        (e)    Other statutes. —The procedures of this subchapter shall also be applicable to any transaction described in any statute other than this part that makes reference to this subchapter for the purpose of granting dissenters rights.

        "Corporation." —The issuer of the shares held or owned by the dissenter before the corporate action or the successor by merger, consolidation, division, conversion or otherwise of that issuer. A plan

of division may designate which one or more of the resulting corporations is the successor corporation for the purposes of this subchapter. The designated successor corporation or corporations in a division shall have sole responsibility for payments to dissenters and other liabilities under this subchapter except as otherwise provided in the plan of division.

        "Dissenter." —A shareholder who is entitled to and does assert dissenters rights under this subchapter and who has performed every act required up to the time involved for the assertion of those rights.

        "Fair value." —The fair value of shares immediately before the effectuation of the corporate action to which the dissenter objects, taking into account all relevant factors, but excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the corporate action.

        "Interest." —Interest from the effective date of the corporate action until the date of payment at such rate as is fair and equitable under all the circumstances, taking into account all relevant factors, including the average rate currently paid by the corporation on its principal bank loans.

        "Shareholder." —A shareholder as defined in section 1103 (relating to definitions) or an ultimate beneficial owner of shares, including, without limitation, a holder of depository receipts, where the beneficial interest owned includes an interest in the assets of the corporation upon dissolution.

§ 1573.    Record and beneficial holders and owners.

        (a)    Record holders of shares. —A record holder of shares of a business corporation may assert dissenters rights as to fewer than all of the shares registered in his name only if he dissents with respect to all the shares of the same class or series beneficially owned by any one person and discloses the name and address of the person or persons on whose behalf he dissents. In that event, his rights shall be determined as if the shares as to which he has dissented and his other shares were registered in the names of different shareholders.

        (b)    Beneficial owners of shares. —A beneficial owner of shares of a business corporation who is not the record holder may assert dissenters rights with respect to shares held on his behalf and shall be treated as a dissenting shareholder under the terms of this subchapter if he submits to the corporation not later than the time of the assertion of dissenters rights a written consent of the record holder. A beneficial owner may not dissent with respect to some but less than all shares of the same class or series owned by the owner, whether or not the shares so owned by him are registered in his name.

§ 1574.    Notice of intention to dissent.

        If the proposed corporate action is submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders of a business corporation, any person who wishes to dissent and obtain payment of the fair value of his shares must file with the corporation, prior to the vote, a written notice of intention to demand that he be paid the fair value for his shares if the proposed action is effectuated, must effect no change in the beneficial ownership of his shares from the date of such filing continuously through the effective date of the proposed action and must refrain from voting his shares in approval of such action. A dissenter who fails in any respect shall not acquire any right to payment of the fair value of his shares under this subchapter. Neither a proxy nor a vote against the proposed corporate action shall constitute the written notice required by this section.

§ 1575.    Notice to demand payment.

        (a)    General rule. —If the proposed corporate action is approved by the required vote at a meeting of shareholders of a business corporation, the corporation shall mail a further notice to all dissenters who gave due notice of intention to demand payment of the fair value of their shares and who

D-3


Table of Contents

refrained from voting in favor of the proposed action. If the proposed corporate action is to be taken without a vote of shareholders, the corporation shall send to all shareholders who are entitled to dissent and demand payment of the fair value of their shares a notice of the adoption of the plan or other corporate action. In either case, the notice shall:

            (1)   State where and when a demand for payment must be sent and certificates for certificated shares must be deposited in order to obtain payment.

            (2)   Inform holders of uncertificated shares to what extent transfer of shares will be restricted from the time that demand for payment is received.

            (3)   Supply a form for demanding payment that includes a request for certification of the date on which the shareholder, or the person on whose behalf the shareholder dissents, acquired beneficial ownership of the shares.

            (4)   Be accompanied by a copy of this subchapter.

        (b)    Time for receipt of demand for payment. —The time set for receipt of the demand and deposit of certificated shares shall be not less than 30 days from the mailing of the notice.

§ 1576.    Failure to comply with notice to demand payment, etc.

        (a)    Effect of failure of shareholder to act. —A shareholder who fails to timely demand payment, or fails (in the case of certificated shares) to timely deposit certificates, as required by a notice pursuant to section 1575 (relating to notice to demand payment) shall not have any right under this subchapter to receive payment of the fair value of his shares.

        (b)    Restriction on uncertificated shares. —If the shares are not represented by certificates, the business corporation may restrict their transfer from the time of receipt of demand for payment until effectuation of the proposed corporate action or the release of restrictions under the terms of section 1577(a) (relating to failure to effectuate corporate action).

        (c)    Rights retained by shareholder. —The dissenter shall retain all other rights of a shareholder until those rights are modified by effectuation of the proposed corporate action.

§ 1577.    Release of restrictions or payment for shares.

        (a)    Failure to effectuate corporate action. —Within 60 days after the date set for demanding payment and depositing certificates, if the business corporation has not effectuated the proposed corporate action, it shall return any certificates that have been deposited and release uncertificated shares from any transfer restrictions imposed by reason of the demand for payment.

        (b)    Renewal of notice to demand payment. —When uncertificated shares have been released from transfer restrictions and deposited certificates have been returned, the corporation may at any later time send a new notice conforming to the requirements of section 1575 (relating to notice to demand payment), with like effect.

        (c)    Payment of fair value of shares. —Promptly after effectuation of the proposed corporate action, or upon timely receipt of demand for payment if the corporate action has already been effectuated, the corporation shall either remit to dissenters who have made demand and (if their shares are certificated) have deposited their certificates the amount that the corporation estimates to be the fair value of the shares, or give written notice that no remittance under this section will be made. The remittance or notice shall be accompanied by:

            (1)   The closing balance sheet and statement of income of the issuer of the shares held or owned by the dissenter for a fiscal year ending not more than 16 months before the date of remittance or notice together with the latest available interim financial statements.

D-4


Table of Contents

            (2)   A statement of the corporation's estimate of the fair value of the shares.

            (3)   A notice of the right of the dissenter to demand payment or supplemental payment, as the case may be, accompanied by a copy of this subchapter.

        (d)    Failure to make payment. —If the corporation does not remit the amount of its estimate of the fair value of the shares as provided by subsection (c), it shall return any certificates that have been deposited and release uncertificated shares from any transfer restrictions imposed by reason of the demand for payment. The corporation may make a notation on any such certificate or on the records of the corporation relating to any such uncertificated shares that such demand has been made. If shares with respect to which notation has been so made shall be transferred, each new certificate issued therefor or the records relating to any transferred uncertificated shares shall bear a similar notation, together with the name of the original dissenting holder or owner of such shares. A transferee of such shares shall not acquire by such transfer any rights in the corporation other than those that the original dissenter had after making demand for payment of their fair value.

§ 1578.    Estimate by dissenter of fair value of shares.

        (a)    General rule. —If the business corporation gives notice of its estimate of the fair value of the shares, without remitting such amount, or remits payment of its estimate of the fair value of a dissenter's shares as permitted by section 1577(c) (relating to payment of fair value of shares) and the dissenter believes that the amount stated or remitted is less than the fair value of his shares, he may send to the corporation his own estimate of the fair value of the shares, which shall be deemed a demand for payment of the amount or the deficiency.

        (b)    Effect of failure to file estimate. —Where the dissenter does not file his own estimate under subsection (a) within 30 days after the mailing by the corporation of its remittance or notice, the dissenter shall be entitled to no more than the amount stated in the notice or remitted to him by the corporation.

§ 1579.    Valuation proceedings generally.

        (a)    General rule. —Within 60 days after the latest of:

            (1)   effectuation of the proposed corporate action;

            (2)   timely receipt of any demands for payment under section 1575 (relating to notice to demand payment); or

            (3)   timely receipt of any estimates pursuant to section 1578 (relating to estimate by dissenter of fair value of shares);

        if any demands for payment remain unsettled, the business corporation may file in court an application for relief requesting that the fair value of the shares be determined by the court.

        (b)    Mandatory joinder of dissenters. —All dissenters, wherever residing, whose demands have not been settled shall be made parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares. A copy of the application shall be served on each such dissenter. If a dissenter is a nonresident, the copy may be served on him in the manner provided or prescribed by or pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. Ch. 53 (relating to bases of jurisdiction and interstate and international procedure).

        (c)    Jurisdiction of the court. —The jurisdiction of the court shall be plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint an appraiser to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the issue of fair value. The appraiser shall have such power and authority as may be specified in the order of appointment or in any amendment thereof.

D-5


Table of Contents

        (d)    Measure of recovery. —Each dissenter who is made a party shall be entitled to recover the amount by which the fair value of his shares is found to exceed the amount, if any, previously remitted, plus interest.

        (e)    Effect of corporation's failure to file application. —If the corporation fails to file an application as provided in subsection (a), any dissenter who made a demand and who has not already settled his claim against the corporation may do so in the name of the corporation at any time within 30 days after the expiration of the 60-day period. If a dissenter does not file an application within the 30-day period, each dissenter entitled to file an application shall be paid the corporation's estimate of the fair value of the shares and no more, and may bring an action to recover any amount not previously remitted.

§ 1580.    Costs and expenses of valuation proceedings.

        (a)    General rule. —The costs and expenses of any proceeding under section 1579 (relating to valuation proceedings generally), including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the appraiser appointed by the court, shall be determined by the court and assessed against the business corporation except that any part of the costs and expenses may be apportioned and assessed as the court deems appropriate against all or some of the dissenters who are parties and whose action in demanding supplemental payment under section 1578 (relating to estimate by dissenter of fair value of shares) the court finds to be dilatory, obdurate, arbitrary, vexatious or in bad faith.

        (b)    Assessment of counsel fees and expert fees where lack of good faith appears. —Fees and expenses of counsel and of experts for the respective parties may be assessed as the court deems appropriate against the corporation and in favor of any or all dissenters if the corporation failed to comply substantially with the requirements of this subchapter and may be assessed against either the corporation or a dissenter, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted in bad faith or in a dilatory, obdurate, arbitrary or vexatious manner in respect to the rights provided by this subchapter.

        (c)    Award of fees for benefits to other dissenters. —If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated and should not be assessed against the corporation, it may award to those counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded to the dissenters who were benefited.

Item 20.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        Section 1741 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, or the PBCL, provides, in general, that a corporation will have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a representative of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another enterprise. Such indemnity may be against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and if, with respect to any criminal proceeding, the person did not have reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

        Section 1742 of the PBCL provides, in general, that a corporation will have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a representative of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another entity. Such indemnity may be against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court of common pleas of the judicial district embracing the county in which the registered office of the corporation is located or the court in which the action was brought will determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court of common pleas or other court deems proper.

        Under Section 1743 of the PBCL, the corporation is required to indemnify directors and officers against expenses they may incur in defending actions against them in such capacities if they are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of such actions. Under Section 1745 of the PBCL, a corporation may pay the expenses of a director or officer incurred in defending an action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking from such person to repay the amounts advanced unless it is ultimately determined that such person is entitled to indemnification from the corporation. Article 23 of Newco's bylaws provides indemnification of directors, officers and other agents of Newco and advancement of expenses to the extent otherwise permitted by Sections 1741, 1742 and 1745 of the PBCL.

        Section 23.6 of Newco's bylaws provide that the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses in the bylaws are not exclusive, and may be in addition to, any rights granted to an indemnitee under any by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. As authorized by Section 1747 of the PBCL and Section 23.7 of Newco's bylaws, Newco maintains, on behalf of its directors and officers, insurance protection against certain liabilities arising out of the discharge of their duties, as well as insurance covering Newco for indemnification payments made to its directors and officers for certain liabilities. The premiums for such insurance are paid by Newco.

        The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of Pennsylvania law and Newco's bylaws dealing with indemnification of directors and officers, and does not purport to be complete. The description of the bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of Article 23 of the bylaws of Newco.

         (e) Reports, opinion or appraisals:     The opinion of Ambassador Financial Group is included as Annex B to the joint proxy statement/prospectus, and the opinion of Keefe, Bruyette and Woods is included as Annex C to the joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Item 22.    Undertakings.

        (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

            (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (the "Act");

               (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate

II-4


Table of Contents

      offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

              (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

            (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

            (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

        (b)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the registrant undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain information called for by the applicable registration from with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called by the other items of the applicable form.

        (c)   The undersigned hereby undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to the paragraph immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (d)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        (e)   The undersigned hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.

        (f)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

            (1)   For the purposes of determining any liability under the Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and

II-5


Table of Contents

    contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

            (4)   For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Re:                              Consolidation of Riverview Financial Corporation and Union Bancorp, Inc. into a new corporation to be called “Riverview Financial Corporation”.

 

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Riverview Financial Corporation (“Riverview”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by means of a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”), of 2,883,266 shares of the no par value common stock of a corporation that will be created via the consolidation of Riverview and Union Bancorp, Inc. (such new corporation is referred to herein as “Newco”), which is the maximum number of shares to be issued by Newco pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Consolidation, dated April 24, 2013 (the “Consolidation Agreement”), entered into between Riverview and Union. The following transactions will occur upon consummation of the Consolidation Agreement: (i) Riverview and Union will consolidate into a corporation (Newco) which will be created as a result of the consolidation and effective as of the effective date and time of the consolidation, (ii) each share of the $0.50 par value common stock of Riverview (the “Riverview Common Stock”) will be converted into one (1) share of common stock of Newco, no par value (the “Newco Common Stock”); (iii) each share of the $1.00 par value common stock of Union (the “Union Common Stock”) will be converted into 1.95 shares of Newco common stock; and (iv) each outstanding stock option for Riverview Common Stock will be converted, on a one for one basis, into a stock option for Newco common stock at the same exercise price and terms as were applicable to the Riverview option.

 

Except as otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used in this Opinion Letter are defined and set forth in the Consolidation Agreement.  Our opinions herein are subject to the following conditions and assumptions:

 

(1) All of the shares of Riverview and Union Common Stock that will be issued and outstanding at the time of the Consolidation will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable;

 

(2) All conditions precedent to the obligations of Riverview and Union as set forth in the Consolidation Agreement will have been satisfied at the time of the Consolidation;

 

(3) All covenants required to be performed by Riverview and Union on or before the date of consummation of the Consolidation, as set forth in the Consolidation Agreement, will have been performed by them as of such date; and

 



 

(4) The shares of Newco Common Stock will be issued, and the Consolidation will be consummated, in strict accordance with the terms of the Consolidation Agreement and the statutory laws of the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of Newco Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Consolidation will be duly authorized, effective as of the date of creation of Newco (i.e., the effective date and time of the Consolidation) and, when issued as provided in the Consolidation Agreement, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

We hereby consent to the use of this Opinion in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 of Riverview and Union, and we further consent to the reference to our name in the proxy statement/ prospectus included as part of the Registration Statement, under the caption “Legal Matters”.

 

 

Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have been requested on behalf of Riverview Financial Corp. (“ Riverview ”), a Pennsylvania corporation, and Union Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“ Union ”), to provide this opinion regarding the material U.S. federal income tax implications of the consolidation of Riverview and Union to form a Pennsylvania Corporation (“ Newco ”) under the name “Riverview Financial Corp.” (the “ Consolidation ”) pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Consolidation dated April 24, 2013 (the “ Consolidation Agreement ”), by and between Riverview and Union.   In connection with the Consolidation, Riverview and Union have jointly prepared and filed  a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “ Registration Statement ”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) on April 26, 2013, as the same may be amended from time to time, pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”).  The delivery of this opinion is a condition of the Consolidation pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Consolidation Agreement.  Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Consolidation Agreement.

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon (i) the Consolidation Agreement, (ii) the proxy statement/prospectus and other information included as part of the Registration Statement, (iii) the certificates of representations supplied to us by Riverview and Union and (iv) such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate in order to enable us to render the opinion below (all documents described in this sentence are collectively referred to as the “ Documents ”).

 

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that (i) the Consolidation will be consummated in the manner described in the Consolidation Agreement, (ii) the Documents are complete and authentic and have been duly authorized, executed and delivered, (iii) all of the information, facts, statements, representations and covenants contained in the Documents (without regard to any qualifications stated therein and without undertaking to verify such information, facts, statements, representations and covenants by independent investigation) are true and accurate at all relevant times, (iv) the respective parties to the Documents and all parties

referred to therein will act in all respects and at all relevant times in conformity with the requirements and provisions of the Documents, and (v) none of the terms and conditions contained in the Documents has been or will be waived or modified in any respect.  Any change in the accuracy or completeness of any of the information, facts, statements, representations, covenants, Documents or assumptions on which our opinion is based could affect our conclusions.

 

Subject to the qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that (i) the Consolidation will constitute a reorganization as described in Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and (ii) the statements set forth in the discussion in the proxy statement/prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement under the heading “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Consolidation”, insofar as they constitute statements of law or legal conclusions, are correct in all material respects.

 

Our opinion is based, in part, upon relevant legal authority in effect as of the date hereof.  We provide no assurance that the legal authority upon which this opinion is based will not be amended, revoked or modified (with or without retroactive effect) in a manner which would affect or change our conclusions.  Furthermore, should any of the representations or assumptions set forth or referred to above prove to be inaccurate as of the Effective Time, our opinion may change.

 

Our opinion is limited to the federal income tax matters set forth herein, and no opinions are intended to be implied or may be inferred beyond those expressly stated herein.  Specifically, no opinions are expressed with respect to the tax consequences of the Consolidation under any foreign, state, or local tax law.  Our opinion is rendered as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update or supplement it to reflect any change of fact, circumstance, or law after the date hereof.

 

Furthermore, our opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court.  In addition, we must note that our opinion represents merely our best legal judgment on the matters presented and that others may disagree with our conclusions.  Thus, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not take contrary positions or that a court would agree with our opinion if litigated.

 

In accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(23) of Regulation S-K under the Act, we hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm in the proxy statement/prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, however, we do not hereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission issued thereunder.

 

 

Very truly yours,

XI.  CODE SECTION 409A

 

1.  If when the Executive’s employment terminates, the Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then despite any provision of this Agreement or other plan or agreement to the contrary, the Executive will not be entitled to the payments until the earliest of: (a) the date that is at least six months after the Executive’s separation from service as defined in Code Section 409A for reasons other than the Executive’s death, (b) the date of the Executive’s death, or (c) any earlier date that does not result in additional tax or interest to the Executive under Code Section 409A. As promptly as possible after the end of the period during which payments are delayed under this provision, the entire amount of the delayed payments shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum with any remaining payments to commence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or other applicable plan or agreement.

 

2.   Any payments made pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent of payments made from the date of termination through March 15th of the calendar year following such date, are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b)(2) and thus payable pursuant to the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4); to the extent such payments are made following said March 15th, they are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b)(2) made upon an involuntary termination from service and payable pursuant to Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), to the maximum extent permitted by said provision.

 

3.  The parties hereto intend that any and all post-employment compensation under this Agreement satisfy the requirements of Section 409A or an exception or exclusion therefrom to avoid the imposition of any accelerated or additional taxes pursuant to Section 409A.  Any terms not specifically defined shall have the meaning as set forth in Section 409A.

 

4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment shall be made pursuant to Section VI unless such termination of employment is a “separation of service” as defined in Code Section 409A.

constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election of each director who was not a director at the beginning of such period has been approved in advance by directors representing at least two-thirds of the directors then in office who were directors at the beginning of the period.

 

3.                                     In the event that the Executive delivers a Notice of Termination (as defined in Section V.2 of this Agreement) to the Bank, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits set forth below:

 

If a “Change in Control” (as defined in Section 2(b) of this Agreement) has also occurred, the Bank shall pay the Executive an amount equal to 3.0 times the Executive’s Annual Compensation minus applicable taxes and withholdings, payable in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments beginning within thirty (30) days of the Executive’s separation of service as defined in Code Section 409A. For purposes of this paragraph, Annual Compensation shall be defined as the Executive’s Annual Base Salary plus the highest bonus received within the previous two years plus the amount which the Bank pays for employee benefits (including automobile allowance) for the Executive for a one year period. In addition, the Bank shall transfer and deliver the title to the Bank automobile which the Executive uses at the time of the Change in Control into the Executive’s name, such that the automobile shall upon the Change in Control become the property of the Executive.

 

In the event the payment described herein, when added to all other amounts or benefits provided to or on behalf of the Executive in connection with his termination of employment, would result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the Bank will pay to the Executive an additional cash payment (“Gross-up Payment”) in an amount such that the after-tax proceeds of such Gross-up Payment (including any income tax or Excise Tax on such Gross-up Payment) will be equal to the amount of the Excise Tax.

 

4.                                     If the Executive’s employment with the Bank is terminated by the Bank for any reason other than Cause as defined in Section V.7, then the Executive shall be entitled to an amount equal to 3.0 times the Executive’s Annual Compensation minus applicable taxes and withholdings payable in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments beginning within thirty (30) days of the Executive’s separation of service as defined in Code Section 409A. For purposes of this paragraph, Annual Compensation shall be defined as the Executive’s Annual Base Salary plus the highest bonus received within the previous two years plus the amount which the Bank pays for employee benefits (including automobile allowance) for the Executive for a one year period. In addition, the Bank shall transfer and deliver the title to the Bank automobile which the Executive uses at the time of the termination into the Executive’s name, such that the automobile shall upon the termination become the property of the Executive.

 

5.                                     Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Bank or by the Executive shall be communicated by written notice of termination to the other party by means of United States certified mail, return receipt requested, pursuant to Section V.3 of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “notice of termination” shall (i) indicate the specific termination provision in the Agreement relied upon; (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under

 

5



 

the provision so indicated; and (iii) specify a date of termination, which shall not be less than thirty nor more than ninety days after such notice of termination.

 

6.                                     The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided under this Agreement by seeking employment or otherwise. The amount of payment or the benefit provided under this agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer or by reason of the Executive’s receipt of or right to receive any retirement or other benefit after the date of termination of employment.

 

7.                                     Termination for Cause. The Board of Directors of the Bank may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for cause. For purposes of this agreement “Cause” includes,

 

(a)                                the Executive’s willful failure to perform or to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement after written notice and a failure to cure within thirty (30) days of such notice; or

 

(b)                               the Executive’s willful failure to perform or to comply fully with any lawful directive of the Bank’s Board of Directors or of any duly constituted committee thereof after written notice and a failure to cure within thirty (30) days of such notice; or

 

(c)                                the Executive’s removal from office or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by a final order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) or 8(g) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or by the Comptroller of the Currency pursuant to federal law.

 

8.                                     In the event that the Executive is terminated for “Cause” as defined in Section V.7, all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate.

 

9.                                     In the event that this Agreement is not renewed under Section I and Executive is terminated within one year of the expiration of the Employment Period, then such termination shall be considered a termination without cause and the provisions of paragraph V.4 shall apply.

 

VI. MISCELLANEOUS

 

1.                                     Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this agreement, the payment or obligation to pay monies or granting of any rights or privileges to the Executive as provided in this Agreement shall not be in lieu or derogation of the rights and privileges that the Executive now has under any plan or benefit presently outstanding.

3. All notices given or required to be given shall be in writing, sent by United States certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the Executive (or to the Executive’s spouse or estate upon the Executive’s death) at the Executive’s last known address, and to the Bank at its principal office. All such notices shall be effective when deposited in the mail in the manner specified in this Section VI.3. Either party by written notice may change or designate the place for receipt of all such notices.

 

4.                                     This Agreement amends and supersedes all previous employment agreements between the Executive, the Corporation, and the Bank or their predecessors.

 

VII. SUCCESSORS

 

1.                                     This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Executive, and, to the extent applicable, his heirs, assigns, executors, and personal representatives and the Bank, its successors, and assigns, including, without limitation, any person, partnership, or corporation which may acquire all or substantially all of the Bank’s assets and business, or with or into which the Bank may be consolidated or merged. This provision shall apply in the event of any subsequent merger, consolidation, or transfer.

 

2.                                     This Agreement is personal to each of the parties and neither party may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

 

VIII. APPLICABLE LAW

 

This Agreement shall be governed in all respects and be interpreted by and under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent that such law may be preempted by applicable federal law, in which event this Agreement shall be governed and interpreted by and under federal law.

 

IX. SEVERABILITY

 

If any provision in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions nevertheless shall continue in full force and effect.

 

X. ARBITRATION

 

Each party agrees that all disputes, disagreements and questions of interpretation concerning this Agreement (except the question of the Executive’s disability which is governed in Section III), are to be submitted for resolution, in Marysville, Pennsylvania, to the American Arbitration Association (the “Association”) in accordance with the Association’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes or other applicable rules then in effect (“Rules”).

The Bank or the Executive may initiate an arbitration proceeding at any time by giving notice to the other in accordance with the Rules. The Bank and the Executive may, as a matter of right, mutually agree on the appointment of a particular arbitrator from the Association’s pool. The arbitrator shall not be bound by the rules of evidence and procedure of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania but shall be bound by the substantive law applicable to this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator, absent fraud, duress, incompetence or gross and obvious error of fact, shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be enforceable in courts of proper jurisdiction. Following written notice of a request for arbitration, the Bank and the Executive shall be entitled to an injunction restraining all further proceedings in any pending or subsequently filed litigation concerning this Agreement.

 

XI. CODE SECTION 409A

 

1.                                     If when the Executive’s employment terminates, the Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then despite any provision of this Agreement or other plan or agreement to the contrary, the Executive will not be entitled to the payments until the earliest of: (a) the date that is at least six months after the Executive’s separation from service as defined in Code Section 409A for reasons other than the Executive’s death, (b) the date of the Executive’s death, or (c) any earlier date that does not result in additional tax or interest to the Executive under Code Section 409A. As promptly as possible after the end of the period during which payments are delayed under this provision, the entire amount of the delayed payments shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum with any remaining payments to commence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or other applicable plan or agreement.

 

2.                                     Any payments made pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent of payments made from the date of termination through March 15th of the calendar year following such date, are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b)(2) and thus payable pursuant to the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4); to the extent such payments are made following said March 15th, they are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b)(2) made upon an involuntary termination from service and payable pursuant to Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), to the maximum extent permitted by said provision.

 

3.                                     The parties hereto intend that any and all post-employment compensation under this Agreement satisfy the requirements of Section 409A or an exception or exclusion therefrom to avoid the imposition of any accelerated or additional taxes pursuant to Section 409A. Any terms not specifically defined shall have the meaning as set forth in Section 409A.

 

4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment shall be made pursuant to Section VI unless such termination of employment is a “separation of service” as defined in Code Section 409A.

The Employment Period shall be extended automatically for one (1) additional year on the anniversary date of this Agreement (“Renewal Date”) and then on each anniversary of the Renewal Date of this Agreement thereafter, unless the Bank or the Executive gives contrary written notice to the other ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary date so that upon such anniversary of the Renewal Date if notice had not been previously given as provided in this Section I.1, the Employment Period shall continue for a three (3) year period thereafter. References in the Agreement to “Employment Period” shall refer to the Initial Term of this Agreement and any extensions to the Initial Term.

9.11                     Headings . Article and section headings are for convenient reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision herein.

 

9.12                     Validity .

The Employment Period shall be extended automatically for one (1) additional year on the first anniversary date of this Agreement (“Renewal Date”) and then on each anniversary of the Renewal Date of this Agreement thereafter, unless the Bank or the Executive gives contrary written notice to the other thirty (30) days prior to the anniversary date so that upon such anniversary date if notice had not been previously given as provided in this Section 1.1, the Employment Period shall continue for a two (2) year period thereafter. References in the Agreement to “Employment Period” shall refer to the Initial Term of this Agreement and any

2.         During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall perform such executive services for the Bank as are consistent with his title and as are assigned to him by the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), President, Chief Operating Officer, or their designee.

 

3.         During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall devote his best efforts, including all of his business time, attention and energies exclusively to the business interests of the Bank; notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall be considered a dual employee of both the Bank and the broker/dealer with which the Bank has entered into a securities brokerage services agreement.

II.  COMPETITIVE ACTIVITIES

 

1.         The Executive hereby acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the business of the Corporation and the Bank and accordingly agrees that for time period provided in Section IL 3, the Executive shall not, except as otherwise permitted in writing by the Bank:

 

(a)   be engaged, directly or indirectly, either for his own account or as agent, consultant, employee, partner, officer, director, proprietor, investor (except as an investor owning less than 5% of the stock of a publicly owned company) or otherwise of any person, firm, corporation or enterprise engaged in (1) the Business, (2) the banking (including bank holding company) or financial services industry, or (3) any other activity in which the Corporation or the Bank or any of their subsidiaries are engaged during the Employment Period in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, South Carolina, West Virginia or any other state in which Executive does business while employed by the Bank (“Non-Competition Area”);

2.         It is expressly understood and agreed that, although the Executive, the Corporation, and the Bank consider the restrictions contained in Section II hereof reasonable for the purpose of preserving for the Corporation and the Bank and their subsidiaries their good will and other proprietary rights, if a final judicial determination is made by a court having jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in Section Ili hereof is an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against the Executive, the provisions of Section II.1 hereof shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such other extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be reasonable.

 

3.         The provisions of this Section II shall be applicable, commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending two (2) year after the date of the Executive’s termination of employment by either party.

 

4.         Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the Bank terminates this Agreement or the Executive terminates his employment all of the obligations of this Section II shall remain in effect and survive the termination of this Agreement.
