<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Norwood Financial Corp, a Pennsylvania corporation, was incorporated in 1995 to become the holding company for Wayne Bank (the
&#147;Bank&#148;). The Company is a registered bank holding company subject to regulation and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (&#147;Federal Reserve&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Wayne Bank is a Pennsylvania chartered bank and trust company headquartered in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. The Bank was originally chartered on
February&nbsp;17, 1870, as Wayne County Savings Bank and changed its name to Wayne County Bank and Trust in December&nbsp;1943. In September 1993, the Bank adopted the name Wayne Bank. The Bank&#146;s deposits are currently insured to applicable
limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (&#147;FDIC&#148;) and the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (&#147;FHLB&#148;) of Pittsburgh. The Bank is regulated and examined by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and
Securities (&#147;Department&#148;) and the FDIC. The Bank is an independent community bank with fourteen<B> </B>offices in Northeastern Pennsylvania and fifteen offices in Delaware, Sullivan, Ontario, Otsego and Yates Counties, New York. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Bank offers a wide variety of personal and business credit services and trust and investment products and real estate settlement services
to the consumers, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and municipalities in each of the communities that the Bank serves. The Bank primarily serves the northeastern Pennsylvania counties of Wayne, Pike, Monroe, Lackawanna and Luzerne and, to a much
lesser extent, Susquehanna County in addition to the New York counties of Delaware, Sullivan, Ontario, Otsego and Yates. In addition, the Bank operates automated teller machines at twenty-nine branch facilities plus one machine at an <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">off-site</FONT> location. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Since 2011, we have consummated three whole-bank acquisitions. On July&nbsp;7, 2020,
the Company completed the acquisition of UpState New York Bancorp, Inc. (&#147;UpState&#148;), and its wholly owned subsidiary, USNY Bank (&#147;USNY Bank&#148;). The acquisition was completed when UpState was merged with and into the Company, with
the Company as the surviving corporation of the merger and USNY Bank was merged with and into Wayne Bank, with Wayne Bank as the surviving entity. At the time of completion of the acquisition, USNY Bank conducted its business from two Bank of the
Finger Lakes offices in Geneva and Penn Yan, New York, and two Bank of Cooperstown offices in Cooperstown and Oneonta, New York. On July&nbsp;31, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Delaware Bancshares, Inc. (&#147;Delaware&#148;) and its
wholly owned subsidiary, The National Bank of Delaware County (&#147;NBDC&#148;). At the time of acquisition, Delaware had approximately $375.6&nbsp;million in assets and 12 banking offices in Delaware and Sullivan Counties, New York. Delaware was
merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation of the merger and NBDC was merged with and into Wayne Bank immediately thereafter. On May&nbsp;31, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of North Penn Bancorp,
Inc. (&#147;North Penn&#148;) and its wholly owned subsidiary, North Penn Bank. At the time of acquisition, North Penn had approximately $158.9&nbsp;million in assets and five banking offices in Lackawanna and Monroe Counties, Pennsylvania. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s main office is located at 717 Main Street, Honesdale, Pennsylvania and its main telephone number is (570) <FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investing in our securities involves risk. You should carefully consider the specific risks set forth below and in the applicable prospectus
supplement and any related free writing prospectus and under the caption &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in<B></B>&nbsp;any of our filings with the SEC and in all other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this
prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. For additional information, please see the sources described in &#147;Where You Can Find More Information.&#148; These risks are not the only<B> </B>risks we face. Additional risks
not<B></B>&nbsp;presently<B></B>&nbsp;known<B></B>&nbsp;to<B></B>&nbsp;us,<B></B>&nbsp;or<B></B>&nbsp;that<B></B>&nbsp;we<B></B>&nbsp;currently<B></B>&nbsp;view as immaterial, may also impair our business. If any of the risks described in our SEC
filings or any prospectus supplement or any additional risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the value of our securities could decline
substantially, and you could lose all or part of your investment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks Related to Interest Rates and Investments </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We are subject to interest rate risk. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income
earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and securities, and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowed funds. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including
general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the &#147;Federal Reserve&#148;). Changes in monetary policy, including changes in
interest rates, could influence not only the interest income that we receive on loans and securities and the amount of interest expense it pays on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also affect (i)&nbsp;our ability to originate loans
and obtain deposits, (ii)&nbsp;the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, and (iii)&nbsp;the average duration of mortgage-backed securities in our investment portfolio. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at
a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, our net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and
investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and borrowings.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Changes in interest rates could adversely impact our
financial condition and results of operations. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our operations are subject to risks and uncertainties surrounding our exposure to
changes in the interest rate environment. Earnings and liquidity depend to a great extent on our interest rates. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond our control, including competition, general economic conditions, geopolitical
tensions and monetary and fiscal policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities, including the Federal Reserve. Conditions such as inflation, deflation, recession, unemployment and other factors beyond our control may also affect
interest rates. The nature and timing of any changes in interest rates or general economic conditions and their effect on us cannot be controlled and are difficult to predict. If the rate of interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities
increases more than the rate of interest we receive on our interest-earning assets, our net interest income, and therefore our earnings, could contract and be materially adversely affected. Our earnings could also be materially adversely affected if
the rates on interest-earning assets fall more quickly than those on our interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in interest rates could also create competitive pressures, which could impact our liquidity position. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Changes in interest rates also can affect our ability to originate loans,&nbsp;our ability to obtain and retain deposits, and the value of
interest-earning assets, and the ability to realize gains from the sale of such assets, which could all negatively impact shareholder&#146;s equity and regulatory capital. Since March 2022, the Federal Reserve Open Markets Committee
(&#147;FOMC&#148;) has raised the Fed Funds rate by 525 basis points. Additional increases in interest rates could also have a negative impact on our results of operations by reducing the ability of borrowers to repay their current loan obligations,
which could not only result in increased loan defaults, foreclosures and charge-offs, but could also necessitate further increases to our allowance for credit losses and reduce net income. In addition, based on our interest rate sensitivity
analyses, an increase in the general level of interest rates may negatively affect the market value of the investment portfolio depending on the duration of certain securities included in the investment portfolio. In December of 2023, the FOMC
signaled its intention to reduce interest rates in 2024, contingent upon inflation settling at its 2.0% target. A decrease in interest rates may trigger loan prepayments, which may serve to reduce net interest income if we are unable to lend these
funds to other borrowers or invest the funds at the same or higher interest rates. </P>

evaluation on AFS securities to determine whether the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery. If these situations apply, the guidance continues to
require us to reduce the security&#146;s amortized cost basis down to its fair value through earnings. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We also evaluate the unrealized
losses on AFS securities to determine if a security&#146;s decline in fair value below its amortized cost basis is due to credit factors. The evaluation is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the underlying borrowers, performance of
the underlying collateral, if applicable, and the level of credit support in the security structure. Management also evaluates other factors and circumstances that may be indicative of a decline in the fair value of the security due to a credit
factor. This includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of the type of security, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost and near-term prospects of the issuer. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss
exists, the present value of the expected cash flows of the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. Under the CECL standard, if the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost,
an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subsequent valuations, in light of factors prevailing at that time, may

also adversely affect the market value of such instruments. We cannot predict if, when or how any changes to the credit ratings or perceived creditworthiness of these organizations will affect economic conditions. Among other things, a downgrade in
the U.S. government&#146;s credit rating could adversely impact the value of our securities portfolio and may trigger requirements that we post additional collateral for trades relative to these securities. A downgrade of the sovereign credit

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The allowance for credit losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the CECL model, financial institutions are required to use historical information, current conditions and reasonable forecasts to
estimate the expected loss over the life of the loan. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases represents management&#146;s estimate of all expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of our existing portfolio loans. The
level of the allowance reflects management&#146;s continuing evaluation of industry concentrations; specific credit risks; loan loss experience; current loan portfolio quality; changes in present economic, political and regulatory conditions; other
external factors such as the ongoing pandemic; and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and
requires us to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Changes in economic and market conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification
of additional problem credits and other factors, both within and outside of our control, impact the determination of the allowance. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for credit losses and may require an increase
in the provision for credit losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. Any increase in the allowance will result in a decrease in net income and, possibly, capital, and may have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Most of our loans are to commercial borrowers, which have a higher
degree of credit risk than other types of loans. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Commercial loans are often larger and may involve greater risks than other types
of lending. Because payments on<I> </I>such loans are often dependent on the successful operation of the property or business involved, repayment of such loans may be more sensitive than other types of loans due to adverse conditions in the real
estate market or the economy. Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower&#146;s ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income and which are secured by real property whose value
tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower&#146;s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower&#146;s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of
commercial loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself and the general economic environment. If the cash flow from business operations is reduced, the borrower&#146;s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. In
addition, our credit risk may be worsened when the collateral held by us cannot be readily realized or liquidated at prices sufficient to recover the full amount of our credit. An increase in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-performing</FONT>
loans or collateral value deficiencies could result in a net loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for credit losses on loans and an increase in loan charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Our loan portfolio has a concentration in commercial real estate loans. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our loan portfolio includes a large amount of commercial real estate loans. The federal banking agencies have promulgated guidance governing
banks with concentrations in commercial real estate lending. The guidance provides that a bank has a concentration in commercial real estate lending if (i)&nbsp;total reported loans for construction, land development and other land represent 100% or
more of total risk-based capital or (ii)&nbsp;total commercial real estate loans represent 300% or more of total risk-based capital and that bank&#146;s commercial real estate loan portfolio has increased 50% or more during the prior <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">thirty-six</FONT> months. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are excluded from this second category. If a bank is deemed to have a concentration in commercial real estate loans, it will be required to employ
heightened risk management practices that address board and management oversight and strategic planning, portfolio management, development of underwriting standards, risk assessment and monitoring through market analysis and stress testing and
maintenance of increased capital levels as needed to support the level of commercial real estate lending. </P>

we often secure our loans with real estate collateral. In addition, our securities portfolio consisted of mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the Government National Mortgage Association. Real estate values and real
estate markets are generally affected by, among other things, changes in national, regional or local economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of loans to potential purchasers, changes in tax laws and other
governmental statutes, regulations and policies, and acts of nature. The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower. If real estate prices in our markets decline, the value
of the real estate collateral securing our loans could be reduced. If we are required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan during a period of reduced real estate values to satisfy the debt, our earnings and capital could be adversely

Particularly in commercial real estate lending, there is a risk that material environmental violations could be discovered on these properties. In this event, we might be required to remedy these violations at the affected properties at our sole
cost and expense. The cost of remedial action could substantially exceed the value of affected properties. We may not have adequate remedies against the prior owner or other responsible parties and could find it difficult or impossible to sell the
affected properties. These events could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks Related to Liquidity

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Market conditions or other events could negatively affect our access to or the cost of funding, affecting our ongoing ability to accommodate
liability maturities and deposit withdrawals, meet contractual obligations, or fund asset growth and new business initiatives at a reasonable cost, in a timely manner and without adverse consequences. Although we maintain a liquid asset portfolio
and have implemented strategies to maintain sufficient and diverse sources of funding to accommodate planned, as well as unanticipated, changes in assets, liabilities, and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">off-balance</FONT> sheet commitments under
various economic conditions, a substantial, unexpected, or prolonged change in the level or cost of liquidity could have a material adverse effect on us. If the cost effectiveness or the availability of supply in these credit markets is reduced for
a prolonged period of time, our funding needs may require us to access funding and manage liquidity by other means. These alternatives may include generating client deposits, securitizing or selling loans, extending the maturity of wholesale
borrowings, borrowing under certain secured borrowing arrangements, using relationships developed with a variety of fixed income investors, and further managing loan growth and investment opportunities. These alternative means of funding may result
in an increase to the overall cost of funds and may not be available under stressed conditions, which could cause us to liquidate a portion of our liquid asset portfolio to meet any funding needs. In the event additional liquidity is needed, we have
access to liquidity from the FHLB, the Federal Reserve discount window and other sources. Accessing these sources of liquidity would impose additional borrowing costs on us. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Deposits are a stable source of funding for which costs are typically lower than other financing options. We compete with banks and other
financial institutions for deposits, as well as institutions offering uninsured investment alternatives, including money market funds and Treasury Bill alternatives. Our competitors may offer higher interest rates than we do, which could decrease
the deposits that we attract or require us to increase our rates to retain existing deposits or obtain new deposits. Bank failures could negatively impact depositor confidence in us or the banking industry and cause our deposits to decline. Funding
costs may increase if we lose deposits and are forced to replace them with more expensive sources of funding, if clients shift their deposits into higher cost products or if we need to raise interest rates to avoid losing deposits. Higher funding
costs reduce our net interest margin and net income. Increased deposit competition could materially adversely affect our ability to fund lending operations. As a result, we may need to seek other sources of funds that could increase our cost of
funds. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Wholesale funding sources may prove insufficient to replace deposits at maturity and support our operations and future growth. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We must maintain sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers. To manage liquidity, we draw upon a number of funding
sources in addition to core deposit growth and repayments and maturities of loans and investments. These sources may include FHLB advances, proceeds from the sale of investments and loans, and liquidity resources at the holding company. Our ability
to manage liquidity will be severely constrained if we are unable to maintain access to funding or if adequate financing is not available to accommodate future growth at acceptable costs. In addition, if we are required to rely more heavily on more
expensive funding sources to support future growth, our revenues may not increase proportionately to cover our costs. In this case, operating margins and profitability would be adversely affected. Turbulence in the capital and credit markets may
adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition and the willingness of certain counterparties and clients to do business with us.&nbsp;Our ability to borrow from other financial institutions or to access the debt or equity capital markets on

dividends, distributions and other payments from the Bank to fund dividend payments and stock repurchases and to fund all payments on obligations. The Federal Reserve requires a bank holding company to act as a source of financial and managerial
strength for its subsidiary banks. The Federal Reserve could require us to commit resources to the Bank when doing so is not otherwise in the interests of our shareholders or creditors. The Bank is subject to laws that restrict dividend payments or
authorize regulatory bodies to prohibit or reduce the flow of funds from it to us. If the Bank is unable to pay dividends to us, we may not be able to service our debt, pay dividends on our common stock or engage in stock repurchases. A reduction or
elimination of dividends could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and would adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, our right to participate in a distribution of assets

Weak economic conditions, which could directly impact our operations, are characterized by inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets, including a lack of liquidity and/or depressed prices in the secondary market for mortgage loans,
increased loan delinquencies, real estate price declines and lower home sales and commercial activity, and increased problem assets and foreclosures. All of these factors could be detrimental to our business. In addition, our business is

accelerate disruption in the financial services industry. In recent years, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> services firms, such as financial technology companies, have been offering services traditionally provided by financial

data, including financial information regarding customers. Our electronic communications and information systems infrastructure, as well as the systems infrastructures of the vendors we use to meet our data processing and communication needs, could
be susceptible to cyber-attacks, such as denial of service attacks, hacking, terrorist activities or identity theft. Financial services institutions and companies engaged in data processing have reported breaches in the security of their websites or
other systems, some of which have involved sophisticated and targeted attacks intended to obtain unauthorized access to confidential information, destroy data, disable or degrade service or sabotage systems, often through the introduction of
computer viruses or malware, cyber-attacks and other means. Denial of service attacks have been launched against a number of large financial services institutions. Hacking and identity theft risks, in particular, could cause serious reputational
harm. Cyber threats are rapidly evolving and we may not be able to anticipate or prevent all such attacks. Although, to date we have not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, there can be
no assurance that we will not suffer such losses in the future. No matter how well designed or implemented our controls are, we will not be able to anticipate all security breaches of these types, and we may not be able to implement effective
preventive measures against such security breaches in a timely manner. A failure or circumvention of our security systems could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial condition. </P>

institution&#146;s growth and the return to its investors by restricting such activities as the payment of dividends, mergers with or acquisitions by other institutions, investments, loans and interest rates, interest rates paid on deposits,
expansion of branch offices, and the offering of securities or trust services. We are also subject to capitalization guidelines established by federal law and could be subject to enforcement actions to the extent that we are found by regulatory
examiners to be undercapitalized. The FDIC and the state banking regulators also have the power to issue cease and desist orders to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of law by banks subject to their regulation, and the
Federal Reserve possesses similar powers with respect to bank holding companies. Federal and state laws and regulations govern numerous matters affecting us, including changes in the ownership or control of banks and bank holding companies,
maintenance of adequate capital and the financial condition of a financial institution, permissible types, amounts and terms of extensions of credit and investments, permissible <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-banking</FONT> activities, the

company with engaging in unsafe and unsound practices for failure to commit resources to a subsidiary bank. A capital injection may be required at times when the holding company may not have the resources to provide it and therefore may require the
holding company to borrow the funds or raise capital on terms considered unfavorable to shareholders. Any loans by a holding company to its subsidiary bank are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of such
subsidiary bank. In the event of a holding company&#146;s bankruptcy, the bankruptcy trustee will assume any commitment by the holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank. Moreover, bankruptcy law
provides that claims based on any such commitment will be entitled to a priority of payment over the claims of the institution&#146;s general unsecured creditors, including the holders of its note obligations. Thus, any borrowing that must be done
by us to make a required capital injection becomes more difficult and expensive and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Norwood is authorized to issue 20,000,000&nbsp;shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, and 5,000,000&nbsp;shares of preferred stock,
no par value. Each share of Norwood common stock has the same relative rights as, and is identical in all respects with, each other share of common stock. The common stock of Norwood represents
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-withdrawable</FONT> capital, is not an account of an insurable type, and is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Dividends.</I></B>&nbsp;Norwood may pay dividends out of statutory surplus or from net earnings if, as and when declared by its board of
directors. The payment of dividends by Norwood is subject to limitations that are imposed by law and applicable regulation. The holders of common stock of Norwood will be entitled to receive and share equally in dividends as may be declared by the
board of directors of Norwood out of funds legally available therefor. If Norwood issues shares of preferred stock, the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the common stock with respect to dividends. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Voting Rights.</I></B>&nbsp;The holders of common stock of Norwood have exclusive voting rights in Norwood. They elect Norwood&#146;s
board of directors and act on other matters as are required to be presented to them under Pennsylvania law, or as are otherwise presented to them by the board of directors. Generally, each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share and
will not have any right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. If Norwood issues shares of preferred stock, holders of the preferred stock may also possess voting rights. Certain matters require an 80% shareholder vote. </P>

Norwood, the holders of its common stock would be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all its debts and liabilities, all of the assets of Norwood available for distribution. If preferred stock is issued, the holders

discussion is a general summary of the material provisions of Norwood&#146;s amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws and certain other provisions under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law and regulatory provisions that may be
deemed to have an &#147;anti-takeover&#148; effect. The following description of certain of these provisions is necessarily general and, with respect to provisions contained in Norwood&#146;s amended and restated articles of incorporation and
bylaws, reference should be made in each case to the document in question. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Norwood&#146;s amended and restated articles of incorporation
and bylaws contain a number of provisions relating to corporate governance and rights of shareholders that might discourage future takeover attempts. As a result, shareholders who might desire to participate in such transactions may not have an
opportunity to do so. In addition, these provisions will also render the removal of the board of directors or management of Norwood more difficult. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following description is a summary of the provisions of the amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws. See &#147;Where You
Can Find More Information&#148; as to how to obtain a copy of these documents. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Directors.</I></B>&nbsp;The board of directors is
divided into three classes. The members of each class will be elected for a term of three years and only one class of directors will be elected annually. Thus, it would take at least two annual elections to replace a majority of Norwood&#146;s board
of directors. Further, the bylaws impose notice and information requirements in connection with the nomination by shareholders of candidates for election to the board of directors or the proposal by shareholders of business to be acted upon at an
annual meeting of shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Prohibition of Cumulative Voting.</I></B>&nbsp;The amended and restated articles of incorporation
prohibit cumulative voting for the election of directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Restrictions on Removing Directors from
Office.</I></B><B><I></I></B>&nbsp;The amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that directors may only be removed for cause. &#147;Cause&#148; is defined in the amended and restated articles of incorporation as being declared of
unsound mind by an order of a court, convicted of a felony or of an offense punishable by imprisonment for a term of more than one year, or being deemed liable by a court for gross negligence or misconduct in the director&#146;s duties to Norwood.
At least 30 days&#146; prior notice to the director must be given. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Authorized but Unissued
Shares.</I></B><B><I></I></B>&nbsp;Norwood has authorized but unissued shares of common and preferred stock. The amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize 5,000,000&nbsp;shares of serial preferred stock. Norwood is authorized to issue
preferred stock from time to time in one or more series subject to applicable provisions of law, and the board of directors is authorized to fix the designations, and relative preferences, limitations, voting rights, if any, including, without
limitation, offering rights of such shares (which could be multiple or as a separate class). In the event of a proposed merger, tender offer or other attempt to gain control of Norwood that the board of directors does not approve, it might be
possible for the board of directors to authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock with rights and preferences that would impede the completion of the transaction. An effect of the possible issuance of preferred stock, therefore, may be to
deter a future attempt to gain control of Norwood. Norwood&#146;s board of directors has no present plan or understanding to issue any preferred stock. </P>

may acquire control of a bank holding company unless the FRB has been given 60&nbsp;days&#146; prior written notice. For this purpose, the term &#147;control&#148; means the acquisition of the ownership, control or holding of the power to vote 25%
or more of any class of a bank holding company&#146;s voting stock, and the term &#147;person&#148; includes an individual, corporation, partnership, and various other entities. In addition, an acquiring person is presumed to acquire control if the
person acquires the ownership, control or holding of the power to vote of 10% or more of any class of the holding company&#146;s voting stock if (a)&nbsp;the bank holding company&#146;s shares are registered pursuant to Section&nbsp;12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or (b)&nbsp;no other person will own, control or hold the power to vote a greater percentage of that class of voting securities. Accordingly, the prior approval of the FRB would be required before any person could
acquire 10% or more of the common stock of Norwood. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Bank Holding Company Act provides that no company may acquire control of a bank
directly or indirectly without the prior approval of the FRB. Any company that acquires control of a bank becomes a &#147;bank holding company&#148; subject to registration, examination and regulation by the FRB. Pursuant to federal regulations, the
term &#147;company&#148; is defined to include banks, corporations, partnerships, associations, and certain trusts and other entities, and &#147;control&#148; of a bank is deemed to exist if a company has voting control, directly or indirectly of at
least 25% of any class of a bank&#146;s voting stock, and may be found to exist if a company controls in any manner the election of a majority of the directors of the bank or has the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or
policies of the bank. In addition, a bank holding company must obtain FRB approval prior to acquiring voting control of more than 5% of any class of voting stock of a bank or another bank holding company. </P>

and (b)&nbsp;before any other company could acquire 25% or more of the common stock of Norwood. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Transfer Agent and Registrar </B></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered holder and owner of a global security, DTC
or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole legal owner of the debt security represented by the global security for all purposes under the indentures, the debt securities and applicable law. Except as set forth below, owners of
beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to receive certificated debt securities and will not be considered to be the owners or holders of any debt securities represented by the global security. We understand that under
existing industry practice, in the event an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security desires to take any actions that DTC, as the holder of the global security, is entitled to take, DTC would authorize the participants to take such
action, and that participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them. No beneficial owner of an interest in a
global security will be able to transfer such interest except in accordance with DTC&#146;s applicable procedures, in addition to those provided for under the indentures. Because DTC can only act on behalf of participants, who in turn act on behalf
of others, the ability of a person having a beneficial interest in a global security to pledge that interest to persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise to take actions in respect of that interest, may be impaired by the lack
of a physical certificate representing that interest. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All payments on the debt securities represented by a global security registered in
the name of and held by DTC or its nominee will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner and holder of the global security. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest in respect of a global security,
will credit participants&#146; accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by
participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices as is now the case with securities held for accounts for customers registered in
the names of nominees for such customers. These payments, however, will be the responsibility of such participants and indirect participants, and neither we, the trustee nor any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect
of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in any global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for any other aspect of the
relationship between DTC and its participants or the relationship between such participants and the owners of beneficial interests in the global security. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for certificated debt securities, each global security may not be transferred except as a
whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC. Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">same-day</FONT> funds. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect that DTC will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of debt
securities only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account the DTC interests in a global security are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities as to which such
participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an event of default under the debt securities, DTC will exchange each global security for certificated debt securities, which it will distribute to its participants.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although we expect that DTC will agree to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in each global security
among participants of DTC, DTC is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of we, the underwriters or the trustee will have any responsibility for the
performance or nonperformance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations. </P>

behalf of their participants through customers&#146; securities accounts in the names of Euroclear and Clearstream on the books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in customers&#146; securities in the

securities made through Euroclear or Clearstream must comply with the rules and procedures of those systems. Those systems could change their rules and procedures at any time. We have no control over those systems or their participants, and we take
no responsibility for their activities. Transactions between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on one hand, and other participants in DTC, on the other hand, would also be subject to DTC&#146;s rules and procedures. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investors will be able to make and receive through Euroclear and Clearstream payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other
transactions involving any securities held through those systems only on days when those systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United
States. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, because of time-zone differences, U.S. investors who hold their interests in the debt securities through these
systems and wish on a particular day, to transfer their interests, or to receive or make a payment or delivery or exercise any other right with respect to their interests, may find that the transaction will not be effected until the next business
day in Luxembourg or Brussels, as applicable. Thus, investors who wish to exercise rights that expire on a particular day may need to act before the expiration date. In addition, investors who hold their interests through both DTC and Euroclear or
Clearstream may need to make special arrangements to finance any purchase or sales of their interests between the U.S. and European clearing systems, and those transactions may settle later than transactions within one clearing system. </P>

connection with the sale of securities, underwriters or agents may receive compensation (in the form of fees, discounts, concessions or commissions) from us or from purchasers of securities for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters may sell
securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and
agents that participate in the distribution of securities may be deemed to be &#147;underwriters,&#148; as that term is defined in the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions received by them from us and any profits on the resale of the

without prior notice. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty
bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the
stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution
is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short
positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. </P>

in passive market making transactions in our common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities and warrants, as applicable, on Nasdaq in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M, during the business day prior to the pricing of the
offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display
its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker&#146;s bid, however, the passive market maker&#146;s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase
limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is only a general summary of certain aspects of Pennsylvania law and the Company&#146;s amended and restated articles of
incorporation and bylaws related to the indemnification of directors and officers, and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of Sections 1741-1750 of the Pennsylvania Business
Corporation Law of 1988, as amended, or PBCL. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sections 1741-1743 of the PBCL provide that a business corporation may indemnify directors
and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities provided certain standards are met, including good faith and the belief that the particular action is in the best interests of the corporation. In general, this power to indemnify
does not exist in the case of actions against a director or officer by or in the right of the corporation if the person entitled to indemnification shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent a court
determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. A corporation is required to indemnify directors and officers against expenses they may incur in defending actions against them in such capacities if they are
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of such actions. Section&nbsp;1746 of the PBCL provides that the foregoing provisions shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled
under, among other things, any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-law</FONT> provision, provided that no indemnification may be made in any case where the act or failure or act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court
to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness. Section&nbsp;1747 of the PBCL authorizes a corporation to purchase insurance for directors and other representatives. The foregoing statement is subject to the detailed provisions of
Section&nbsp;1741-1750 of the PBCL. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has authority under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law to indemnify its directors
and officers to the extent provided in such statute. The Company&#146;s amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that the Company shall indemnify its executive officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law either now or
hereafter. In general, Pennsylvania law permits a Pennsylvania corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents, and persons serving at the corporation&#146;s request in such capacities for another enterprise against
liabilities arising from conduct that such persons reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The provisions of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law that authorize indemnification
do not eliminate the duty of care of a director and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of nonmonetary relief will remain available under Pennsylvania law. In addition, each director will continue to
be subject to liability for (a)&nbsp;violations of the criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, (b)&nbsp;deriving an improper personal
benefit from a transaction, (c)&nbsp;voting for or assenting to an unlawful distribution, and (d)&nbsp;willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the Company in a proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a
judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder. The statute does not affect a director&#146;s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or officer of the Company as to which indemnification is being
sought from the Company, nor is the Company aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification from the Company by any officer or director. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Further, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any
such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the Articles. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any underwriting agreement that the Company might enter into (Exhibit 1.1) will provide for indemnification by any underwriters of the
Company, the Company&#146;s directors, the Company&#146;s officers who sign the registration statement and the Company&#146;s controlling persons for some liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. </P>

director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>
