INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
ITEM 2.02.   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
     On January 26, 2009, F.N.B. Corporation (the Corporation) announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. A copy of the press release announcing the Corporation’s results for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 5.02.   DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; AMENDMENT TO RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENTS.
     On January 21, 2009, the Compensation Committee approved the amendment of restricted stock award agreements dated January 19, 2005 and December 23, 2005 (“Amended Agreement”) in which the peer group performance period is not identical to the Corporation’s performance period. Prior to 2008, the Corporation measured its financial performance for purposes of its long term incentive program on a calendar year basis and compared its performance against its peer group during the twelve month period ending on September 30th of the same calendar year in which the Corporation’s performance period ended. Ending the peer group’s financial performance period on September 30th enabled F.N.B. to obtain and analyze the necessary financial data of the peer group’s financial performance in order to make determinations regarding the Corporation’s financial performance as compared to the peer groups’ financial performances prior to the January vesting date set forth in the Agreement. Due to the economic circumstances that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Committee determined it appropriate to amend these restricted stock award agreements for the 2008 and 2009 performance periods and all future years such that both the Corporation’s and the peer groups’ financial performance periods are aligned to be measured for the same calendar year ending on December 31st and change the date on which such awards will vest or lapse to February 28th of the year following the performance period for the Corporation and the peer group.
     A copy of the form of the Amended Agreement is attached as an Exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The descriptions in this report of the amendments of the restricted stock agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to such Exhibit.
