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;

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; 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 net 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

<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>OF UPSTATE NEW YORK BANCORP, INC. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Honesdale, Pennsylvania&#151;Norwood Financial Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ Global Market: NWFL) (&#147;Norwood&#148;), the holding company for Wayne
Bank, announced today that that it had completed its acquisition of UpState New York Bancorp, Inc. (&#147;UpState&#148;) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, USNY Bank effective as of July&nbsp;7, 2020. USNY Bank has been merged into Wayne Bank. At
their election, UpState shareholders are receiving either $33.33 in cash or 0.9390 shares of Norwood common stock for each share of UpState common stock held subject to the allocation and proration procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement. In
addition, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, UpState shareholders will receive an additional $0.67 per share in cash for each share of UpState common stock held. In lieu of fractional shares of Norwood common stock, UpState shareholders will
receive cash at the rate of approximately $24.02 per share of Norwood common stock. Shareholders who have not previously surrendered their share certificates will receive information shortly on how to exchange their shares for the merger
consideration to which they are entitled. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Of the 2,208,000 shares of UpState common stock outstanding, 835,878 shares, or approximately
37.9% of UpState shares outstanding, elected to receive Norwood Financial common stock; 1,065,110 shares, or approximately 48.2%, elected to receive cash; and 307,012 shares, or approximately 13.9%, submitted elections expressing no preference as to
the form of merger consideration to be received or did not make, or failed to submit, a valid election. Based on this information, UpState shareholders who made valid elections to receive the cash consideration will receive the cash consideration
for approximately 20.73% of their shares subject to such election, with the balance of such elections being satisfied with stock consideration, and UpState shareholders who made valid elections to receive the stock consideration will receive stock
consideration for 100% of their shares subject to such election. UpState shareholders who expressed no preference as to the form of merger consideration to be received or did not make a valid election will receive stock consideration for 100% of
their shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of the merger, Norwood will extend its footprint into Otsego, Ontario and Yates Counties, New York. The
combined company will have over $1.8&nbsp;billion in assets and 31&nbsp;branches. At March&nbsp;31, 2020, UpState had total assets of $443.8&nbsp;million, deposits of $393.9&nbsp;million and shareholders&#146; equity of $46.5&nbsp;million. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We are pleased to announce the completion of the merger and to welcome Upstate&#146;s shareholders to Norwood and&nbsp;the employees to
Wayne Bank.&nbsp;We also look forward to serving the customers of Bank of the Finger Lakes and Bank of Cooperstown&#148; said Lewis J. Critelli, President and Chief Executive Officer of Norwood. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;UpState is proud to become part of the Norwood family. This transaction will provide expanded opportunities for our valued customers and
dedicated employees,&#148; stated R. Michael Briggs, President and Chief Executive Officer of UpState. </P>
