acquisition of UpState New York Bancorp, Inc. (&#147;UpState&#148;) and its wholly owned subsidiary, USNY Bank. Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, Norwood anticipates closing the acquisition on or about July&nbsp;1, 2020. A
copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated in its entirety by reference herein. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Forward-Looking Statements
</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This communication contains &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to Norwood&#146;s and UpState&#146;s beliefs, plans, goals, expectations, and estimates.
Forward-looking statements are not a representation of historical information, but instead pertain to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. The words &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148;
&#147;intend,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;is likely,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;going forward&#148; and other expressions that indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. Forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in such statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results expressed in the
forward-looking statements: the businesses of Norwood and UpState may not be combined successfully, or such combination may take longer than expected; the cost savings from the merger may not be fully realized or may take longer than expected;
operating costs, customer loss and business disruption following the merger may be greater than expected; governmental approvals of the merger may not be obtained, or adverse regulatory conditions may be imposed in connection with governmental
approvals of the merger or otherwise; the potential adverse impact the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic may have on Norwood&#146;s and UpState&#146;s financial condition and results of operations and the merger; the interest
rate environment may further compress margins and adversely affect new interest income; the risks associated with continued diversification of assets and adverse changes to credit quality; and difficulties associated with achieving expected future
financial results. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in Norwood&#146;s reports (such as the Annual Report on Form <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K,</FONT> Quarterly Reports on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q</FONT> and Current Reports on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-K)</FONT> filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
&#147;SEC&#148;) and available at the SEC&#146;s Internet website <U>(www.sec.gov).</U> All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the proposed transaction or other matters attributable to Norwood or UpState or any person
acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Except as required by law, Norwood and UpState do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or
events that occur after the date the forward-looking statement is made. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

realized or may take longer than expected; operating costs, customer loss and business disruption following the merger may be greater than expected; governmental approvals of the merger may not be obtained, or adverse regulatory conditions may be
imposed in connection with governmental approvals of the merger or otherwise; the potential adverse impact the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic may have on Norwood&#146;s and UpState&#146;s financial condition and results of
operations and the merger; the interest rate environment may further compress margins and adversely affect new interest income; the risks associated with continued diversification of assets and adverse changes to credit quality; and difficulties
associated with achieving expected future financial results. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in Norwood&#146;s reports (such as the Annual
