The special meeting of Evans shareholders will be held virtually on December 20, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern time. At the special meeting of Evans shareholders, Evans shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on (i) a proposal to approve the merger agreement (the &#8220;merger proposal&#8221;), (ii) a proposal to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, specified compensation that may become payable to the named executive officers of Evans in connection with the merger (the &#8220;compensation proposal&#8221;), and (iii) a proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the Evans special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting, or at an adjournment or postponement of that meeting, to approve the merger proposal (the &#8220;adjournment proposal&#8221;). Approval of the merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all outstanding shares entitled to vote on the proposal. Approval of each of the compensation proposal and the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on such proposal. The Evans Board of Directors recommends unanimously that all Evans shareholders vote &#8220;<font style="font-weight: bold;">FOR</font>&#8221; the merger proposal, &#8220;<font style="font-weight: bold;">FOR</font>&#8221; the compensation proposal and &#8220;<font style="font-weight: bold;">FOR</font>&#8221; the adjournment proposal.</div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 9.9pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">If the merger is completed, Evans shareholders will receive 0.91 shares of NBT common stock for each share of Evans common stock they own on the effective date of the merger.

Your proxy will be used at the Evans special meeting or at any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting.

The business of NBT and the business of Evans differ. As a result, while NBT expects to benefit from certain synergies following the merger, NBT may also encounter new risks and liabilities associated with these differences. Following the merger, shareholders of NBT and Evans will own interests in a combined company operating an expanded business and may not wish to continue to invest in NBT, or for other reasons may wish to dispose of some or all of NBT common stock. If, following the effective time of the merger, large amounts of NBT common stock are sold, the price of NBT common stock could decline. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">Further, the results of operations of NBT and the market price of NBT common stock after the merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations of each of NBT and Evans and the market price of NBT common stock. Accordingly, NBT&#8217;s historical market prices and financial results may not be indicative of these matters for NBT after the merger. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">For a discussion of the businesses of NBT and Evans, and of certain factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the documents incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus and referred to under &#8220;Where You Can Find More Information&#8221; beginning on page <a href="#tWYI">85</a>. </div><div class="BRDSX_frisk" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 12pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">Both Evans and NBT shareholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the merger and will exercise less influence over management of the combined company. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">The merger will dilute the ownership position of NBT shareholders and result in Evans shareholders having an ownership stake in the combined company. Upon completion of the merger, each Evans shareholder will become a shareholder of NBT with a percentage ownership of the combined company that is much smaller than such shareholder&#8217;s current percentage ownership of Evans. It is expected that the former shareholders of Evans as a group will receive shares in the merger constituting approximately 10.61% of the outstanding shares of NBT common stock immediately after the merger. Furthermore, because shares of NBT common stock will be issued to existing Evans shareholders, current NBT shareholders will have their ownership and voting interests diluted by approximately 10.61%. Accordingly, both Evans and NBT shareholders will have less influence on the management and policies of the combined company than they now have on the management and policies of their respective company. </div><div class="BRDSX_frisk" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 12pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">After the merger is completed, Evans shareholders will become NBT shareholders and will have different rights that may be less advantageous than their current rights. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">Upon completion of the merger, Evans shareholders will become NBT shareholders. Differences in Evans&#8217;s charter and bylaws and NBT&#8217;s charter and bylaws will result in changes to the rights of Evans shareholders who become NBT shareholders.

These uncertainties may impair Evans&#8217;s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers, suppliers and others who deal with Evans to seek to change existing business relationships with Evans. Evans employee retention and recruitment may be particularly challenging prior to the effective time of the merger, as employees and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with NBT. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">The pursuit of the merger and the preparation for the integration may place a significant burden on management and internal resources. Any significant diversion of management attention away from ongoing business and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could affect the financial results of Evans and, following the merger, NBT. In addition, the merger agreement requires that Evans operate in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and restricts Evans from taking certain actions prior to the effective time of the merger or termination of the merger agreement without NBT&#8217;s written consent. These restrictions may prevent Evans from retaining existing customers or pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger. </div><div class="BRDSX_frisk" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 12pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">The merger agreement contains provisions that limit Evans&#8217;s ability to pursue alternatives to the merger and may discourage other companies from trying to acquire Evans. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">The merger agreement contains covenants that restrict Evans&#8217;s ability to, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, induce, knowingly encourage, or knowingly facilitate inquiries, offers or proposals with respect to, or, subject to </div></div></div><div class="BRDSX_block-frill" style="width: 468pt; margin-top: 12pt; margin-left: 0pt;"><div class="BRDSX_unknown" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 9.47pt; text-align: center;">16<br></div></div></div>

Before the merger may be completed, certain approvals, waivers or consents must be obtained from federal governmental authorities, including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the OCC. Satisfying the requirements of these governmental authorities may delay the date of completion of the merger. In addition, these governmental authorities may include conditions on the completion of the merger or require changes to the terms of the merger. While it is currently anticipated that the merger will be completed promptly following the receipt of all required regulatory and shareholder approvals, there can be no assurance that the conditions to closing will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all, or that an effect, event, development or change will not transpire that could delay or prevent these conditions from being satisfied or impose additional costs on or limit the revenues of NBT following the merger, any of which might have a material adverse effect on NBT following the merger. The parties are not obligated to complete the merger should any regulatory approval contain a condition, restriction or requirement that the NBT Board of Directors reasonably determines in good faith would, individually or in the aggregate, materially reduce the benefits of the merger to such a degree that NBT would not have entered into the merger agreement had such condition, restriction or requirement been known at the date of the merger agreement. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">NBT and Evans cannot provide any assurances with respect to the timing of the closing of the merger, whether the merger will be completed at all and when Evans shareholders would receive the consideration for the merger, if at all. </div><div class="BRDSX_frisk" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 20.5pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">Failure to complete the merger could negatively impact the stock prices and future business and financial results of NBT and Evans. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">Completion of the merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including approval by Evans shareholders of the merger.

Evans and NBT may also incur costs in connection with the defense or settlement of any shareholder lawsuit filed in connection with the merger. Such litigation could have an adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of Evans and NBT and could prevent or delay the completion of the merger.</div><div class="BRDSX_frisk" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 20pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">Certain of Evans&#8217;s directors and executive officers may have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of Evans&#8217;s shareholders. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">Evans shareholders should be aware that some of Evans&#8217;s directors and executive officers may have interests in the merger and have arrangements that are different from, or in addition to, those of Evans shareholders.

NBT will face challenges and costs in consolidating its functions with those of Evans, and integrating the organizations, procedures and operations of the two businesses. The integration of NBT and Evans will be complex and time-consuming, and the management of both companies will have to dedicate substantial time and resources to it. These efforts could divert management&#8217;s focus and resources from serving existing customers or other strategic opportunities and from day-to-day operational matters during the integration process. Failure to successfully integrate the operations of NBT and Evans could result in the failure to achieve some of the anticipated benefits from the transaction, including cost savings and other operating efficiencies, and NBT may not be able to capitalize on the existing relationships of Evans to the extent anticipated, or it may take longer, or be more difficult or expensive than expected to achieve these goals. This could have an adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of NBT and NBT Bank after the transaction. </div></div></div><div class="BRDSX_block-frill" style="width: 468pt; margin-top: 12pt; margin-left: 0pt;"><div class="BRDSX_unknown" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 9.47pt; text-align: center;">19<br></div></div></div>

However, it is possible that unexpected transaction costs such as taxes, fees or professional expenses or unexpected future operating expenses such as increased personnel costs or increased taxes, as well as other types of unanticipated adverse developments, could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the combined company. If unexpected costs are incurred, the merger could have a dilutive effect on NBT&#8217;s earnings per share.

The Evans Board of Directors discussed several bank holding companies that in the past had expressed an interest in Evans should it ever pursue a merger transaction, and which previously had been identified by Evans as viable strategic partners. Included among these companies was NBT. The Evans Board of Directors authorized David Nasca, President and Chief Executive Officer of Evans, to reengage with executives of these companies to determine if they remained interested in a possible strategic combination and, in consultation with Piper Sandler to consider other potential strategic partners based on an analysis of an ability to pay and likely interest in an acquisition of a $2&#160;billion bank operating in upstate New York. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">In April, May and early June, 2024, Mr.&#160;Nasca met or talked with executives of four bank holding companies, each of which operated in the upstate New York marketplace, or in a contiguous marketplace, and each of which in the past had expressed an interest in Evans should it pursue a merger transaction. Mr.&#160;Nasca met with John Watt, former President and Chief Executive Officer of NBT, and Scott Kingsley, President and Chief Executive Officer of NBT, on April&#160;19, 2024, and had a follow-up telephone call with Mr.&#160;Kingsley on May&#160;6, 2024. Mr.&#160;Nasca received confirmation of continued interest in a possible merger transaction with Evans from executives of each of the four bank holding companies, including NBT. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">On June&#160;18, 2024, at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Evans Board of Directors at which Piper Sandler and Luse Gorman were in attendance, Piper Sandler and Mr.&#160;Nasca provided an overview to the Evans Board of Directors of the steps that had been taken since the March 19 meeting of the Evans Board of Directors to determine if there was interest from third parties in terms of moving forward with a possible process for a strategic acquisition of Evans. Piper Sandler and Mr.&#160;Nasca reported on the favorable feedback received from the four bank holding companies. Each of these companies had a stock that traded at a premium to book value and were considered to have a strong likelihood of receiving regulatory approval of a merger transaction with Evans. As to each of the companies, Piper Sandler provided a preliminary capacity to pay analysis, along with a financial and management overview. Piper Sandler also noted to the Board of Directors that a wider universe of bank holding companies had been considered in their review, but were eliminated from consideration for a variety of financial reasons, while certain other companies were eliminated based on several &#8220;no name&#8221; discussions with Piper Sandler that confirmed to Piper Sandler that these companies were not interested in the mergers and acquisitions market at that time. At this meeting, Luse Gorman discussed the fiduciary duties of the Evans Board of Directors, in particular in the context of a merger and acquisition transaction.

Each indication of interest proposed an all stock merger transaction. The indication of interest submitted by NBT proposed a fixed exchange ratio of 0.9011 shares of NBT common stock for each share of Evans common stock, which implied a deal price per share of Evans common stock of between $35.26 and $37.25, based on NBT&#8217;s closing stock price of $41.34 on July&#160;11, 2024, and a five-day average closing stock price of NBT common stock of $39.13. The indication of interest submitted by Company B proposed a per share value of $35-$36 for each share of Evans common stock, with a fixed exchange ratio to be determined closer to transaction signing. The other proposed terms in the indications of interest submitted by NBT and Company B were substantially similar, with Company B proposing to appoint Mr.&#160;Nasca to the board of directors of Company B and its subsidiary bank, and NBT proposing to appoint one mutually agreed upon Evans director to the NBT and NBT Bank boards of directors. Piper Sandler reviewed with the Evans Board of Directors a financial analysis of each of the indications of interest and of each of NBT and Company B. Luse Gorman again reviewed with the Evans Board of Directors the fiduciary duties applicable to the transaction. Following discussion, the Evans Board of Directors directed Piper Sandler to request NBT to increase its proposed exchange ratio of 0.9011 shares of NBT common stock per share of Evans common stock, with the understanding that if the exchange ratio was increased, Evans was prepared to move forward with NBT&#8217;s indication of interest, with an exclusivity period for negotiating a definitive agreement. A special meeting of the Evans Board of Directors was scheduled for Friday, July&#160;19, 2024.</div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">Following the July 16<sup style="vertical-align: text-top; line-height: 1; font-size: smaller;">th</sup> meeting of the Evans Board of Directors, and as directed by the Evans Board of Directors, Piper Sandler advised Stephens Inc.

Piper Sander advised Stephens that an Evans Board of Directors meeting was scheduled for late in the afternoon on July&#160;19, 2024, and that any increase in the exchange ratio should be reflected in an updated indication of interest to be submitted before the July 19<sup style="vertical-align: text-top; line-height: 1; font-size: smaller;">th</sup> meeting.

Mr.&#160;Nasca responded that he could not provide such assurance, which not only would require action from the Evans Board of Directors, but first would require action from the board of directors of Company B and a revised formal indication of interest. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">Also on July&#160;18, 2024, Piper Sandler and the financial advisor for Company B had a telephone conversation, and the financial advisor for Company B confirmed Company B&#8217;s interest in seeking board approval for an increased exchange ratio if Evans could provide assurance that the increased exchange ratio would be accepted. Piper Sandler advised the financial advisor for Company B that such assurance could only be provided by the Evans Board of Directors, and that the Evans Board of Directors was meeting on July&#160;19, 2024 and would consider any revised indication of interest that Company B submitted.

Based on the increased exchange ratio of 0.92 shares of NBT common stock per share of Evans common stock reflected in the updated indication of interest submitted by NBT, NBT&#8217;s updated indication of interest resulted in a transaction value of $41.78 per share of Evans common stock, based on the closing stock price of NBT common stock on July&#160;18, 2024 of $45.41. Piper Sandler also provided a summary financial analysis of the verbal indication provided by Company B as to an exchange ratio of up to 3.3&#160;shares of Company B common stock for each share of Evans common stock, which would have resulted in a transaction value of $43.40 per share of Evans common stock. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">Noting that Company B had indicated that its board had not authorized an increased exchange ratio and that a revised indication of interest with an increased exchange ratio had not in fact been submitted by Company B, and taking into account the Evans Board of Directors&#8217; evaluation of the qualitative factors relating to NBT and Company B, the Evans Board of Directors determined to authorize Piper Sandler and Mr.&#160;Nasca to inform NBT that Evans was prepared to move forward with the execution of its indication of interest and a sixty day exclusivity agreement for the negotiation of a definitive agreement. On July&#160;19, following this Board meeting, NBT and Evans executed the indication of interest, which included the sixty day exclusivity period. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">During the balance of July and August, 2024, Evans and NBT conducted a due diligence review of the other. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">On August&#160;7, 2024 counsel for NBT delivered to Luse Gorman the first draft of a proposed merger agreement, which was provided to Evans.

Piper Sandler relied on the assurances of the respective senior managements of Evans and NBT that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would have made any of such information inaccurate or misleading in any respect material to Piper Sandler&#8217;s analysis. Piper Sandler was not asked to and did not undertake an independent verification of any of such information and Piper Sandler did not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. Piper Sandler did not make an independent evaluation or perform an appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Evans or NBT, nor was Piper Sandler furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. Piper Sandler rendered no opinion or evaluation on the collectability of any assets or the future performance of any loans of Evans or NBT or any of their respective subsidiaries. Piper Sandler did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Evans or NBT, any of their respective subsidiaries, or of the combined entity after the merger, and Piper Sandler did not review any individual credit files relating to Evans or NBT or any of their respective subsidiaries. Piper Sandler assumed, with Evans&#8217;s consent, that the respective allowances for credit losses for Evans and NBT and their respective subsidiaries were adequate to cover such losses and would be adequate on a pro forma basis for the combined entity. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">In preparing its analyses, Piper Sandler used publicly available analyst consensus earnings per share estimates for Evans for the years ending December&#160;31, 2024 and December&#160;31, 2025 as well as an estimated long-term annual earnings per share growth rate for the years thereafter and estimated dividends per share for Evans for the years ending December&#160;31, 2024 through December&#160;31, 2028, as provided by the senior management of Evans. In addition, Piper Sandler used certain internal financial projections for NBT for the year ending December&#160;31, 2024 with a long-term annual balance sheet and net income growth rate for the years ending December&#160;31, 2025 through December&#160;31, 2028 and estimated dividends per share for NBT for the years ending December&#160;31, 2024 through December&#160;31, 2028, as provided by the senior management of NBT. Piper Sandler also received and used in its pro forma analyses certain assumptions relating to transaction expenses, cost savings and purchase accounting adjustments, as well as estimated net income for each of Evans and NBT for the year ending December&#160;31, 2024 with an estimated long-term earnings growth rate for the years thereafter, as provided by the senior management of NBT. With respect to the foregoing information, the respective senior managements of Evans and NBT confirmed to Piper Sandler that such information reflected (or, in the case of the publicly available analyst estimates referred to above, were consistent with) the best currently available projections, estimates and judgments of those respective senior managements as to the future financial performance of Evans and NBT, respectively, and Piper Sandler assumed that the future financial results reflected in such information would be achieved. Piper Sandler expressed no opinion as to such information, or the assumptions on which such projections, estimates or judgements, or the assumptions on which they were based. Piper Sandler also assumed that there had been no material change in Evans&#8217;s or NBT&#8217;s assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to Piper Sandler. Piper Sandler assumed in all respects material to its analysis that Evans and NBT would remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to its analysis. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">Piper Sandler also assumed, with Evans&#8217;s consent, that (i) each of the parties to the merger agreement would comply in all material respects with all material terms and conditions of the merger agreement and all related agreements required to effect the merger, that all of the representations and warranties contained in such agreements were true and correct in all material respects, that each of the parties to such agreements would perform in all material respects all of the covenants and other obligations required to be performed by such party under such agreements and that the conditions precedent in such agreements were not and would not be waived, </div></div></div><div class="BRDSX_block-frill" style="width: 468pt; margin-top: 12pt; margin-left: 0pt;"><div class="BRDSX_unknown" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 9.47pt; text-align: center;">39<br></div></div></div>

Finally, with Evans&#8217;s consent, Piper Sandler relied upon the advice that Evans received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Piper Sandler expressed no opinion as to any such matters. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">Piper Sandler&#8217;s opinion was necessarily based on financial, regulatory, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Piper Sandler as of, the date thereof. Events occurring after the date thereof could materially affect Piper Sandler&#8217;s opinion. Piper Sandler has not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw its opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date thereof. Piper Sandler expressed no opinion as to the trading value of Evans common stock or NBT common stock at any time or what the value of NBT common stock would be once the shares are actually received by the holders of Evans common stock. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">In rendering its opinion, Piper Sandler performed a variety of financial analyses. The summary below is not a complete description of all the analyses underlying Piper Sandler&#8217;s opinion or the presentation made by Piper Sandler to Evans&#8217;s Board of Directors, but is a summary of the material analyses performed and presented by Piper Sandler. The summary includes information presented in tabular format. <font style="font-weight: bold;">In order to fully understand the financial analyses, these tables must be read together with the accompanying text. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses.</font> The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving subjective judgments as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. The process, therefore, is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. Piper Sandler believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the factors and analyses to be considered without considering all factors and analyses, or attempting to ascribe relative weights to some or all such factors and analyses, could create an incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying its opinion. Also, no company included in Piper Sandler&#8217;s comparative analyses described below is identical to Evans or NBT and no transaction is identical to the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of comparable companies or transactions involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect the public trading values or transaction values, as the case may be, of Evans and NBT and the companies to which they were compared. In arriving at its opinion, Piper Sandler did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered. Rather, Piper Sandler made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Piper Sandler did not form an opinion as to whether any individual analysis or factor (positive or negative) considered in isolation supported or failed to support its opinion, rather, Piper Sandler made its determination as to the fairness of the exchange ratio to the holders of Evans common stock on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all its analyses taken as a whole. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">In performing its analyses, Piper Sandler also made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions and various other matters, many of which cannot be predicted and are beyond the control of Evans, NBT, and Piper Sandler. The analyses performed by Piper Sandler are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, both of which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Piper Sandler prepared its analyses solely for purposes of rendering its opinion and provided such analyses to Evans&#8217;s Board of Directors at its September&#160;9, 2024 meeting. Estimates on the values of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or their securities may actually be sold. Such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty and actual values may be materially different. Accordingly, Piper Sandler&#8217;s analyses do not necessarily reflect the value of Evans common stock or NBT common stock or the prices at which Evans common stock or NBT common stock may be sold at any time. The analyses of Piper Sandler and its opinion were among a number of factors taken into consideration by Evans&#8217;s Board of Directors in making its determination to approve the merger agreement and the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of Evans&#8217;s Board of Directors with respect to the fairness of the exchange ratio. </div></div></div><div class="BRDSX_block-frill" style="width: 468pt; margin-top: 12pt; margin-left: 0pt;"><div class="BRDSX_unknown" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 9.47pt; text-align: center;">40<br></div></div></div>

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger each share of Evans common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the transaction, except for certain shares as set forth in the merger agreement, shall be converted into the right to receive 0.91 of a share of NBT common stock. Piper Sandler calculated an aggregate implied transaction value of approximately $236.2&#160;million and an implied per share transaction value of $42.11 consisting of the implied value of 5,525,838 shares of Evans common stock, 142,650&#160;Evans stock options with a weighted average strike price of $32.79 and 49,984 Evans restricted stock units, based on the closing price of NBT common stock on September&#160;6, 2024. Based upon financial information for Evans as of or for the last twelve months (&#8220;LTM&#8221;) ended June&#160;30, 2024 and the closing price of Evans common stock on September&#160;6, 2024, Piper Sandler calculated the following implied transaction metrics: </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000;

To illustrate this impact, Piper Sandler performed a similar analysis, assuming Evans&#8217;s earnings varied from 20.0% above estimates to 20.0% below estimates. This analysis resulted in the following range of per share values for Evans common stock, applying the price to 2028 earnings multiples range of 9.0x to 14.0x referred to above and a discount rate of 10.87%. </div><div class="BRDSX_h1" style="color: #000000;

To approximate the terminal value of a share of NBT common stock at September&#160;6, 2024 Piper Sandler applied price to 2028 earnings multiples ranging from 11.0x to 18.5x and multiples of 2028 tangible book value ranging from 150%&#160;to&#160;225%. The terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 7.5% to 11.5%, which were chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of NBT common stock. As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicated an imputed range of values per share of NBT common stock of $26.90 to $49.21 when applying multiples of earnings and $33.14 to $55.48 when applying multiples of tangible book value. </div><div class="BRDSX_h1" style="color: #000000;

To illustrate this impact, Piper Sandler performed a similar analysis assuming NBT&#8217;s earnings varied from 20.0% above projections to 20.0% below projections.

The U.S. federal income tax laws are complex, and the tax consequences of the merger may vary depending upon each shareholder&#8217;s individual circumstances or tax status. The following discussion is based on current provisions of the Code, existing temporary and final regulations under the Code and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. No attempt has been made to comment on all U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger that may be relevant to Evans shareholders. The tax discussion set forth below is included for general information only. It is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to a particular Evans shareholder. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">This discussion addresses only those Evans shareholders that hold their Evans common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section&#160;1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). Further, the following discussion may not apply to particular categories of holders of shares of Evans common stock subject to special treatment under the Code, such as insurance companies, financial institutions, broker-dealers, tax-exempt organizations, individual retirement and other tax-deferred accounts, banks, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, persons who hold Evans capital stock as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction, persons whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, persons eligible for tax treaty benefits, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships and other foreign entities, individuals who are not citizens or residents of the United States and holders of stock options or holders whose shares were acquired pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation. In addition, this discussion does not address any alternative minimum tax or any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences of the merger, nor does it address any tax consequences arising under the unearned income Medicare contribution tax pursuant to the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">You are urged to consult your tax advisors to determine the specific tax consequences of the merger, including any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences of the merger. </div></div></div><div class="BRDSX_block-frill" style="width: 468pt; margin-top: 12pt; margin-left: 0pt;"><div class="BRDSX_unknown" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 9.47pt; text-align: center;">53<br></div></div></div>

In assessing the convenience and needs of the community to be served, the OCC will consider such elements as the extent to which the proposed merger is likely to benefit the general public through higher lending limits, new or expanded services, reduced prices, increased convenience in utilizing the services and facilities of the resulting institution, or other means. The OCC, as required by the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended, will also note and consider the record of performance of NBT Bank and Evans Bank in meeting the credit needs of the entire community, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods.

Evans believes that the compensation that may become payable to its named executive officers in connection with the completion of the merger is reasonable and the information regarding such compensation demonstrates that Evans&#8217;s executive compensation program was designed appropriately and structured to ensure the retention of talented executives and a strong alignment with the long-term interests of Evans shareholders. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation that may become payable to Evans&#8217;s executive officers in connection with the merger. This vote is separate and independent from the vote of shareholders to approve the merger agreement. Evans asks that its shareholders vote &#8220;FOR&#8221; the following resolution: </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 20pt; text-align: left;">RESOLVED, that the compensation that may become payable to Evans&#8217;s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the merger, as disclosed in the section captioned &#8220;PROPOSAL 1&#8212;The Merger&#8212;Interests of Evans&#8217;s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger&#8221; and the related tables and narrative, is hereby approved. </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">Approval of this proposal is not a condition to the completion of the merger. In addition, this vote is advisory and, therefore, it will not be binding on Evans, nor will it overrule any prior decision of Evans or require the Evans Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) to take any action. However, the Evans Board of Directors values the opinions of Evans&#8217;s shareholders, and to the extent that there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus, the Evans Board of Directors will consider shareholders&#8217; concerns and will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. The Evans Board of Directors will consider the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast on the matter &#8220;FOR&#8221; the foregoing resolution as advisory approval of the compensation that may become payable to Evans&#8217;s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the merger. </div><div class="BRDSX_h2" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 20.5pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;"><a name="tVRA"><!--Anchor--></a>Vote Required for Approval </div><div class="BRDSX_fpara" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: left;">The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal is required to approve the compensation proposal.

Evans has also agreed to indemnify us against certain claims and liabilities arising out of our engagement and to reimburse us for certain of our out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our engagement. In the two years preceding the date hereof, Piper Sandler provided other investment banking services to Evans. In summary, Piper Sandler acted as financial advisor to Evans in connection with the sale of its subsidiary, The Evans Agency, LLC, which transaction closed in November&#160;2023 and for which Piper Sandler received approximately $2.3&#160;million in advisory fees. As you are aware, Piper Sandler provided certain investment banking services to NBT in the two years preceding the date hereof. In summary, Piper Sandler rendered an opinion to the Board of Directors of NBT in connection with NBT&#8217;s acquisition of Salisbury Bancorp, Inc. in December&#160;2022 for which Piper Sandler received a fee of $500,000. In addition, in the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may purchase securities from and sell securities to Evans, NBT and their respective affiliates.

We also do not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to be received in the Merger by any Evans officer, director or employee, or class of such persons, if any, relative to the amount of compensation to be received by any other shareholder.
