<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left">The foregoing material may contain forward-looking statements.&#160; We caution that such statements may be subject to a number of uncertainties and actual results could differ materially and therefore readers should not place undue reliance on any forward looking statements.&#160; With respect to Fidelity D &amp; D Bancorp, Inc., a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated in any forward-looking statement. Such factors include, but are not limited to: prevailing economic and political conditions, particularly in our market area; credit risk associated with our lending activities; changes in interest rates, loan demand, real estate values and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies, and guidelines; changes in any applicable law, rule, regulation or practice with respect to tax or legal issues; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors affecting Fidelity D &amp; D Bancorp, Inc.'s operations, pricing, products and services and other factors that may be described in Fidelity D &amp; D Bancorp, Inc.'s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") from time to time.&#160; In addition to these risks, branch acquisitions present risks other than those presented by the nature of the business acquired. Branch acquisitions may be substantially more expensive to complete than originally anticipated, and the anticipated benefits may be significantly harder&#8212;or take longer&#8212;to achieve than expected. As regulated financial institutions, our pursuit of attractive branch acquisition opportunities could be negatively impacted by regulatory delays or other regulatory issues. Regulatory and/or legal issues related to branch acquisition may cause reputational harm to Fidelity D &amp; D Bancorp, Inc. following the acquisition, and integration of the acquired business with ours may result in additional future costs arising as a result of those issues.</div>
