INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
ITEM 5.02. DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF
PRINCIPAL OFFICERS
On December 19, 2007, F.N.B. Corporation (the Corporation) announced the appointment of Mr. Robert
V. New to the Corporation’s Board of Directors effective January 16, 2008. Mr. New was appointed
as a Class II director, which term expires at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. However,
since the Corporation is incorporated in Florida, applicable state laws require Mr. New to be
elected by the shareholders at the Corporation’s 2008 Annual Meeting. The Corporation previously
announced Mr. New’s appointment as President and CEO-elect beginning on January 15, 2008 and as
Chief Executive Officer beginning on April 1, 2008. Mr. New has not been appointed to serve on any
committees of the Corporation’s Board of Directors at this time.
