Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement"), dated December 15, 2014, between Northwest Bancshares, Inc. ("Northwest") and LNB Bancorp, Inc. ("LNB"), the holder has the right to elect to receive consideration of either 1.461 shares of Northwest common stock or $18.70 in cash for each LNB common share, subject to proration to ensure that, in the aggregate, 50% of LNB's common shares will be converted into Northwest stock. No fractional shares of Northwest common stock will be issued, and the cash in lieu amount will be determined by multiplying such fractional share amount by $12.66. As of the date of this Form 4, the calculations related to the election and proration procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement have not been completed. Accordingly, it is not possible at this time to determine the form of merger consideration to be received by the Reporting Person.
( 2)  This option, which provided for vesting in three equal annual installments beginning February 4, 2009, was exchanged in the merger for a cash payment of $10,575 representing the difference between $18.70 and the exercise price of such LNB stock option.
( 3)  This option, which provided for vesting in three equal annual installments beginning January 30, 2013, was exchanged in the merger for a cash payment of $66,550 representing the difference between $18.70 and the exercise price of such LNB stock option.
( 4)  This option, which provided for vesting in three equal annual installments beginning May 9, 2014, was exchanged in the merger for a cash payment of $52,165 representing the difference between $18.70 and the exercise price of such LNB stock option.
( 5)  This option, which provided for vesting in three equal annual installments beginning May 20, 2015, was exchanged in the merger for a cash payment of $49,855 representing the difference between $18.70 and the exercise price of such LNB stock option.
