        <footnote id="F1">The reported transaction involves an award of restricted stock under the M&amp;T Bank Corporation 2009 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The restricted stock award includes a total of 3,700 shares. 1,110 shares of the restricted stock award will vest on January 31, 2014; an additional 1,110 shares will vest on January 30, 2015; and the remaining 1,480 shares will vest on January 29, 2016. The resulting shares of common stock received upon vesting will be subject to the restrictions on transfer included in the TARP Interim Final Rule's definition of &quot;long-term restricted stock&quot; until M&amp;T repays the remainder of its TARP obligation.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The restricted stock was granted under an incentive compensation plan maintained by M&amp;T Bank Corporation, and therefore the reporting person paid no price for the shares.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">The information presented is as of December 30, 2011.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">The reported phantom common stock units are held by the reporting person in an excess benefit plan account maintained by M&amp;T Bank Corporation and represent a like number of shares of M&amp;T Bank Corporation common stock.  The phantom common stock units may only be settled in cash upon distribution in accordance with the terms of the plan.  The reported phantom common stock units also include units acquired through the dividend reinvestment feature of the plan.</footnote>
