This quarterly report on form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, future performance and our business. These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are those that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors (some of which are beyond our control). Forward-looking statements often include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “outlook” or similar expressions or future conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.” Such known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the statements, include, but are not limited to, (i) changes in general business, industry or economic conditions or competition; (ii) changes in any applicable law, rule, regulation, policy, guideline or practice governing or affecting financial holding companies and their subsidiaries or with respect to tax or accounting principles or otherwise; (iii) adverse changes or conditions in capital and financial markets; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) higher than expected costs or other difficulties related to integration of combined or merged businesses; (vi) the inability to realize expected cost savings or achieve other anticipated benefits in connection with business combinations and other acquisitions; (vii) changes in the quality or composition of our loan and investment portfolios; (viii) adequacy of loan loss reserves; (ix) increased competition; (x) loss of certain key officers; (xi) continued relationships with major customers; (xii) deposit attrition; (xiii) rapidly changing technology; (xiv) unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings and liabilities and other costs; (xv) changes in the cost of funds, demand for loan products or demand for financial services; (xvi) other economic, competitive, governmental or technological factors affecting our operations, markets, products, services and prices; and (xvii) our success at managing the foregoing items. Some of these and other factors are discussed in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Such factors could have an adverse impact on our financial position and our results of operations.

The forward-looking statements contained herein are based upon management’s beliefs and assumptions. Any forward-looking statement made herein speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC and in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Because this report is based on an interim period, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

In the opinion of management of the registrant, the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and the results of operations for the periods presented. The financial performance reported for CNB Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. This information should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2015. All dollar amounts are stated in thousands, except share and per share data and other amounts as indicated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

On July 15, 2016, the Corporation completed its previously announced acquisition of Lake National Bank (“LNB”) of Mentor, Ohio for $22.50 per share in cash, resulting in consideration paid to LNB shareholders of $24.75 million. Following completion of the merger, the two branches of LNB in Mentor, Ohio are operating as part of the ERIEBANK division of CNB Bank.

As disclosed in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, the Corporation incurred merger costs of $266 thousand and $481 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. All merger costs have been expensed as incurred.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for LNB and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed that were recognized at the acquisition date:

Table of Contents

Valuation of some assets acquired or created including, but not limited to, goodwill are preliminary and could be subject to change.

Included in accrued interest receivable and other assets is a deferred tax asset of $249 which represents the tax effect of temporary differences between the tax basis and fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities.

Acquired loans were recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. Determining the fair value of loans involved estimating the amount and timing of principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at a market rate of interest. The Corporation acquired $126,134 of gross loans and recognized a net combined yield and credit mark of $4,098.

Goodwill of $11,773 arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combining of the operations of the Corporation and Lake National Bank. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Corporation has a stock incentive plan for key employees and independent directors. The stock incentive plan, which is administered by a committee of the Board of Directors, provides for aggregate grants of up to 500,000 shares of common stock in the form of nonqualified options or restricted stock. For key employees, the plan vesting is one-fourth of the granted options or restricted stock per year beginning one year after the grant date, with 100% vested on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. For independent directors, the vesting schedule is one-third of the granted options or restricted stock per year beginning one year after the grant date, with 100% vested on the third anniversary of the grant date.

At September 30, 2016, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under this plan and no stock options were granted during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Compensation expense for the restricted stock awards is recognized over the requisite service period noted above based on the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. Nonvested restricted stock awards are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital in shareholders’ equity until earned. Compensation expense resulting from these restricted stock awards was $216 and $628 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and $169 and $474 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2016, there was $1,359 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards to be recognized over the next five years.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy has also been established which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair values of most trading securities and securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

The Corporation’s structured pooled trust preferred securities are priced using Level 3 inputs. The decline in the level of observable inputs and market activity in this class of investments by the measurement date has been significant and resulted in unreliable external pricing. Broker pricing and bid/ask spreads, when available, vary widely, and the once-active market has become comparatively inactive. The Corporation engaged a third party consultant who has developed a model for pricing these securities. Information such as historical and current performance of the underlying collateral, deferral and default rates, collateral coverage ratios, break in yield calculations, cash flow projections, liquidity and credit premiums required by a

market participant, and financial trend analysis with respect to the individual issuing financial institutions and insurance companies are utilized in determining the security valuation. Due to the current market conditions as well as the limited trading activity of these types of securities, the market value of the Corporation’s structured pooled trust preferred securities are highly sensitive to assumption changes and market volatility.

The Corporation’s derivative instruments are interest rate swaps that are similar to those that trade in liquid markets. As such, significant fair value inputs can generally be verified and do not typically involve significant management judgments (Level 2 inputs).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:
