MERGER PROPOSED — YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

        This joint proxy statement/ prospectus relates to the proposed merger of Omega Financial Corporation and Sun Bancorp, Inc. In the merger, shares of Sun common stock held by a Sun shareholder will be converted into the right to receive either Omega common stock, cash or a combination of both, as each Sun shareholder elects, subject to limitations described on page 42. If a Sun shareholder does not elect whether to receive cash or stock, that shareholder will lose the right to elect and will receive cash and/or stock as set forth on page 43. Based on the closing price of Omega common stock on July 19, 2004, of $30.23 per share:

                 
If a Sun shareholder chooses:  
That Sun shareholder is asking to receive:
 
This choice is generally:
  The value per share is:   The aggregate value of the merger consideration, assuming 80% of Sun stock is converted into Omega stock, is:
 
Stock
  0.664 of a share of Omega common stock for each share of Sun common stock owned   Not taxable   $20.07   $123,689,272.89
Cash
  $23.25 in cash for each share of Sun common stock owned   Taxable   $23.25   $ 35,816,964.45

      The actual aggregate merger consideration depends upon the market value of Omega stock on the date of the merger and how many shares of Sun stock are converted into Omega stock versus cash. Any cash a Sun shareholder receives will generally be taxable, at least to the extent that any gain is realized in the transaction, but a Sun shareholder will not recognize gain or loss to the extent a Sun shareholder receives Omega common stock in exchange for Sun common stock. For a more complete description of the tax consequences associated with the merger, see “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 52.

      Omega and Sun have agreed that 80% of the outstanding shares of Sun common stock will be exchanged for Omega common stock and all remaining outstanding Sun common stock will be exchanged for cash. Therefore, the cash or Omega common stock that a Sun shareholder actually receives may be different from his or her election, based on the choices made by other Sun shareholders.

      Omega common stock trades on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “OMEF.” We cannot complete the merger unless the merger agreement is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of Sun common stock who are entitled to vote on the merger agreement and a majority of the votes cast by Omega shareholders who are entitled to vote on the merger agreement. The directors and certain executive officers of Sun, as well as one of Sun’s significant shareholders, who collectively hold approximately 23.5% of the outstanding shares of Sun common stock, have agreed in writing to vote in favor of the merger agreement. Please complete, sign, date and promptly return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

      Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this joint proxy statement/ prospectus is accurate or inadequate. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

      The shares of Omega common stock that Omega is offering through this document are not savings or deposit accounts or other obligations of any bank or savings association, and they are not insured by the FDIC or any other governmental agency.

       For a description of the risk factors associated with the merger and the terms and conditions of the merger, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 13 and “The Merger” beginning on page 24.

Joint proxy statement/ prospectus dated July 23, 2004

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE OMEGA/ SUN MERGER

 
Q. What are we being asked to vote upon?
 
A. You are being asked to vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2004, by and between Omega Financial Corporation and Sun Bancorp, Inc., and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
 
Q. Who is entitled to vote on the merger?
 
A. Omega shareholders who owned shares of Omega common stock at the close of business on July 19, 2004 may vote at the special meeting of Omega shareholders and may cast one vote for each share of Omega common stock owned on that date. Sun shareholders who owned shares of Sun common stock at the close of business on July 19, 2004 may vote at the special meeting of Sun shareholders and may cast one vote for each share of Sun common stock owned on that date.
 
Q. Why is my vote important?
 
A. In order to approve and adopt the merger agreement, the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of Sun common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting of shareholders must vote in favor of adoption. In addition, the merger agreement must be approved and adopted by a majority of the votes cast by all Omega shareholders entitled to vote. The holders of approximately 23.5% of Sun’s common stock have agreed in writing to vote in favor of the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement. See “The Merger — Voting Agreements,” on page 52. You may vote in person or by proxy. If you fail to vote, it will have the same effect as a vote against the merger agreement.
 
Q. What is the recommendation of Sun’s board of directors regarding the merger?
 
A. Sun’s board of directors believes that the merger and the merger agreement are fair and in the best interests of Sun and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval and adoption of the merger agreement. See “The Merger — Recommendation of Sun’s Board of Directors and Reasons for the Merger” on page 27.
 
Q. What is the recommendation of Omega’s board of directors regarding the merger?
 
A. Omega’s board of directors believes that the merger and the merger agreement are fair and in the best interests of Omega and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval and adoption of the merger agreement. See “Background of the Merger — Recommendation of Omega’s Board of Directors and Reasons for the Merger” on page 27.
 
Q. What do I need to do now?
 
A. After you have carefully read and considered this joint proxy statement/ prospectus, please sign your proxy card, mark your vote on it, and mail it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Your shares will then be voted at the special meeting in accordance with your instructions.
 
Sun shareholders will receive an election form under separate cover. Sun shareholders should complete the election form and return it to the exchange agent by September 8, 2004. A Sun shareholder who does not do so will lose the right to choose the type of consideration he or she will receive and will receive cash and/or Omega common stock, as described on page 43 of this joint proxy statement/ prospectus.
 
Q. Should Sun shareholders send in their stock certificates with their election form?
 
A. Yes. Sun shareholders should send their stock certificates along with their election form in the envelope provided with the election form. Do not send your stock certificates with your proxy card. In the event that the merger does not occur, the exchange agent will return the stock certificates to the proper shareholder promptly after the termination.
 
Q. What if a Sun shareholder has lost his or her stock certificates?
 
A. The Sun shareholder will need to indicate in the space provided in his or her election form that he or she has lost his or her stock certificates. In addition, the Sun shareholder will have to sign an

Table of Contents

affidavit, which will be included in the election form and which will provide, among other things, that the Sun shareholder agrees to indemnify Omega for any loss Omega may incur as a result of the Sun shareholder’s lost or destroyed stock certificate. An indemnity bond from an insurance company will also be required. You will be responsible for any costs or expenses relating to this procedure for lost or destroyed stock certificates, including the premium on the indemnity bond.
 
Q. What if I want to change my vote?
 
A. You may change your vote in any of the following three ways:
 
• by sending written notice to the company’s secretary that must be received before the special meeting stating that you revoke your proxy;
 
• by completing, signing and dating another proxy card and returning it by mail in time to be received before the special meeting; or
 
• by attending the special meeting, filing written notice with the secretary of the meeting stating that you revoke your proxy and voting in person.
 
Q. If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me?
 
A. Maybe. Your broker will vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should follow the directions provided by your broker. Without instructions, your broker will not vote your shares on the merger agreement, which may have the same effect as a vote against the merger agreement.
 
Q. Will I have dissenters rights?
 
A. No. Neither Omega nor Sun shareholders will have dissenters rights.
 
Q. When do you expect the merger to be completed?
 
A. We expect to complete the merger by September 30, 2004, although we cannot assure you that all conditions to the completion of the merger will occur by then or at all.
 
Q. What will I receive in the merger?
 
A. Omega shareholders will keep their current stock certificates and their current shares of common stock.
 
For each share of Sun stock, Sun shareholders will receive either 0.664 shares of Omega common stock or $23.25 in cash, as each Sun shareholder elects, subject to the limitations described on pages 42 through 45. Sun shareholders who do not deliver their election form to Sun prior to the Sun special meeting will lose the right to choose the type of consideration they will receive in the merger and will receive cash and/or Omega stock as described on page 43 of this joint proxy statement/ prospectus.
 
No fractional shares of Omega common stock will be issued. Any Sun shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Omega common stock will instead receive cash for that fraction of a share.
 
Each Sun stock option will be converted into an option to purchase 0.664 shares of Omega common stock for each share of Sun common stock covered by the Sun stock option with an exercise price equal to the exercise price of the option prior to conversion, divided by 0.664. Please refer to page 46 for more information regarding the treatment of Sun stock options.
 
Q. What if a Sun shareholder wants to change his or her election of merger consideration?
 
A. The Sun shareholder should deliver a later-dated, signed election form to the exchange agent prior to September 8, 2004.

Q. When will Sun shareholders receive cash and/or shares of Omega common stock in the merger?
 
A. Sun shareholders who have returned their election forms together with Sun stock certificates, or proof of lost or destroyed certificate and payment of the premium for a lost instrument bond, will be sent the cash and/or Omega common stock to which they are entitled within three business days after the merger is completed. Within five business days after the merger is completed, Sun shareholders who have not previously sent in their stock certificates and election forms will be sent a letter of transmittal and instructions for exchanging their stock certificates. Those Sun shareholders will be sent their cash and/or stock within five business days after we receive their letter of transmittal and supporting documents.
 
Q. What are the tax consequences of the merger to me?
 
A. As a general matter, neither Omega, Omega shareholders, Sun nor Sun shareholders, to the extent that they receive Omega common stock in exchange for their Sun common stock, will recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. Sun shareholders who receive cash will generally recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as though they had sold their shares for cash. See “The Merger — Material Federal Income Tax Consequences.” Tax matters are very complicated and the tax consequences of the merger to you will depend on the facts of your own situation. You should consult your tax advisors for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the merger to you.
 
Q. If I receive Omega common stock in the merger, will I receive dividends in the future?
 
A. Possibly. Omega’s board of directors has adopted a policy of paying regular cash dividends on Omega’s common stock. In 2003, Omega declared cash dividends in the aggregate amount of $1.17 per share. However, the declaration, payment, and amount of dividends in the future is within the discretion of Omega’s board of directors and will depend upon Omega’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other relevant factors. A Sun shareholder who receives Omega common stock in the merger will only be entitled to receive a dividend declared on Omega common stock if the record date for the dividend is after the date that the merger is completed.
 
Q: Who can I call with questions about the merger?
 
A: Both Omega and Sun shareholders can contact:

The Merger

      This joint proxy statement/ prospectus relates to the merger of Sun with and into Omega. The merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/ prospectus. We encourage you to read the merger agreement because it is the legal document that governs the merger.

 
Sun shareholders will receive either Omega common stock or cash in the merger (See page 42)

      For each share of Sun common stock, Sun shareholders will receive either 0.664 shares of Omega common stock or $23.25 in cash, as each Sun shareholder elects. However, Omega and Sun have agreed that no more than 80% of the outstanding shares of Sun common stock will be exchanged for Omega common stock and no more than 20% of the outstanding shares of Sun common stock will be converted into the right to receive cash. Therefore, if the holders of more than 80% of the Sun common stock elect to receive Omega common stock or if the holders of more than 20% of the Sun common stock elect to receive cash, the elections that Sun shareholders make will be adjusted. Adjustments to shareholder elections are described in more detail beginning on page 42.

      If you receive Omega common stock in the merger, because the number of shares of Omega common stock that you are entitled to receive for each share of Sun common stock is fixed, the value of the shares

4


Table of Contents

of Omega common stock that you will receive in the merger will change as the price of Omega common stock changes.

      No fractional shares of Omega common stock will be issued. Any Sun shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Omega common stock will instead receive cash for that fraction of a share.

      Each Sun stock option will be converted into an option to purchase 0.664 shares of Omega common stock for each share of Sun common stock covered by the Sun stock option with an exercise price equal to the exercise price of the option prior to conversion, divided by 0.664. Please refer to page 46 for more information regarding the treatment of Sun stock options.

 
Omega will finance certain of its obligations under the merger agreement (See page 45)

      Omega is currently negotiating with certain lenders to borrow approximately $42 million in connection with financing its obligations pursuant to the merger agreement. Omega’s ability to borrow such funds is not a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Please refer to Item (I) in the “Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” on page 73 for additional information regarding the financing of Omega’s obligations.

 
Comparative Market Price Information (See page 14)

      Omega’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “OMEF.” Sun’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “SUBI.” The table on page 14 lists the closing prices of Omega common stock and Sun common stock, and the equivalent per share value of a share of Sun common stock, on April 20, 2004, the day that we announced the merger after the close of trading, and on July 19, 2004. The “equivalent market value of 100% stock election” at the specified dates represents the closing price of a share of Omega common stock on those dates multiplied by the exchange ratio of 0.664 (rounded down to the nearest cent).

      The market price of Omega common stock will change prior to the merger, while the exchange ratio is fixed. You should obtain current stock price quotations for Omega common stock and Sun common stock. You can get these quotations from a newspaper, on the Internet or by calling your broker. No assurance can be given as to the future prices of, or markets for, Omega common stock.

 
Expected Federal Income Tax Consequences to Sun Shareholders (See page 52)

      It is a condition to the merger that both Omega and Sun receive legal opinions to the effect that the merger will qualify as a tax-free transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, as described in this document.

      If the merger is treated in this manner, for United States federal income tax purposes, Sun shareholders generally will not recognize any gain or loss if they exchange their Sun stock solely for shares of Omega common stock, except in connection with any cash that they may receive instead of a fractional share of Omega common stock. Sun shareholders who receive cash will generally recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as though they had sold their shares for cash.

      You should refer to “The Merger — Material Federal Income Tax Consequences” for a more complete discussion of the United States federal income tax consequences of the merger.

      As described in further detail under the heading to “The Merger — Material Federal Income Tax Consequences”, this tax treatment may not apply to certain Sun shareholders. Determining the actual tax consequences of the merger to you may be complex and will depend on your specific situation and on variables not within our control. You should consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the merger’s tax consequences to you.

Dividend Policy of Omega (See page 20)

      Omega’s board of directors has a policy of paying regular cash dividends on Omega’s common stock. In 2003, Omega declared cash dividends in the aggregate amount of $1.17 per share. The declaration, payment, and amount of future dividends is within the discretion of Omega’s board of directors and depends upon Omega’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other relevant factors.

 
Immediately after the merger, Sun shareholders will own approximately 32.4% of the outstanding Omega stock (See page 46)

      We anticipate that Omega will issue approximately 4,079,014 shares of Omega common stock to Sun shareholders in the merger. We also anticipate that Omega will issue options to purchase up to 310,919 shares of Omega common stock in exchange for outstanding options to purchase Sun common stock. Based on the number of shares of Omega common stock to be issued in the merger, excluding shares subject to stock options to be assumed by Omega, following the merger existing Omega shareholders will own approximately 67.6% and former Sun shareholders will own approximately 32.4% of the outstanding common stock of Omega.

 
The Omega and Sun boards of directors received opinions regarding the fairness of the merger consideration (See pages 30 and 37)

      Omega’s board of directors received an oral opinion from its financial advisor, Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P., dated April 19, 2004, that as of such date, the consideration to be paid in the merger is fair to Omega from a financial point of view. This opinion was confirmed in a written opinion, dated April 20, 2004, which is attached as Annex B to this joint proxy statement/ prospectus. We encourage you to read the opinion in its entirety. The opinion outlines the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Sandler O’Neill in rendering its opinion. Sandler O’Neill’s fairness opinion is directed to Omega’s board of directors only and does not constitute a recommendation to an Omega shareholder as to how such shareholder should vote at the special meeting. Omega paid Sandler O’Neill $150,000 in connection with rendering this opinion, which fee shall be credited against the transaction fee payable to Sandler O’Neill.

      Sun’s board of directors received an opinion from its financial advisor, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, referred to as KBW, that the merger consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of Sun. This opinion is attached as Annex C to this joint proxy statement/ prospectus. We encourage you to read the opinion in its entirety. KBW’s fairness opinion is directed to Sun’s board of directors only and does not constitute a recommendation to a Sun shareholder as to how such shareholder should vote at the special meeting. Sun will pay KBW an aggregate transaction fee of $1,910,864, plus expenses, for KBW’s services in connection with the transaction, including KBW’s preparation of this opinion.

 
Conditions to the Merger (See page 47)

      The completion of the merger depends upon the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including the approval and adoption of the merger agreement by the shareholders of Omega and of Sun, each by the requisite shareholder approval requirements, and receipt of all required regulatory approvals.

      Where the law permits, a party to the merger agreement could elect to waive a condition to its obligation to complete the merger, even if that condition has not been satisfied. However, shareholder approvals and regulatory approvals are not waivable conditions. We cannot be certain when (or if) the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived or that the merger will be completed. However, we currently anticipate that the merger will be consummated by September 30, 2004.

Termination of the Merger Agreement (See page 48)

      Omega and Sun can agree to terminate the merger agreement without completing the merger, even if the Omega and Sun shareholders have voted to approve the merger agreement. In addition, under various circumstances, either Omega or Sun can terminate the merger agreement without the consent of the other.

      For example, either Omega or Sun may terminate the merger agreement if:

  •  the closing has not occurred by December 31, 2004;
 
  •  any governmental approval necessary for the consummation of the merger is denied or includes any condition that is not routinely included for similar approvals and would materially adversely affect the benefits of the merger, subject to a right of appeal;
 
  •  either the Omega shareholders or the Sun shareholders do not approve the merger agreement at the shareholders meeting;
 
  •  the other party or its subsidiaries materially breaches any of its obligations or covenants and the breach is not remedied within the time periods set forth in the merger agreement; or
 
  •  Sun’s board of directors withdraws or adversely modifies its approval or recommendation of the merger or merger agreement.

      In addition, Omega may terminate the merger agreement if:

  •  Sun or any of its subsidiaries enters into an agreement to merge, consolidate, combine or sell a material portion of its assets or to be acquired in any manner by any other person or to acquire a material amount of assets or a material equity position in any other person, whether financial or otherwise; or
 
  •  Sun or any of its subsidiaries enters into a formal agreement, letter of understanding, memorandum or similar arrangement with any bank regulatory authority establishing a formal capital plan requiring Sun or any Sun subsidiary to raise additional capital or to sell a substantial portion of its assets.

      Also, Sun may terminate the merger agreement if the average closing price of Omega common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending two trading days prior to the date that the merger closes is less than $28.32 and the difference between these values is more than 20% of the amount by which the closing value of the NASDAQ Bank Index for the trading day ending two days prior to the date that the merger closes exceeds 2,807.12.

      Omega and/or Sun may decide not to exercise their right to terminate the merger agreement even if their right to terminate is triggered. Neither company will resolicit shareholder approval of the merger agreement if either Omega’s or Sun’s right to terminate is exercisable and Omega’s or Sun’s board of directors decides not to terminate and proceeds with the merger.

 
Termination Fees and Expenses (See page 49)

      The merger agreement requires Sun to pay Omega a termination fee of $8,000,000 if the merger agreement is terminated upon the occurrence of the following events:

  •  Sun or any of its subsidiaries enters into an agreement to merge, consolidate, combine or sell a material portion of its assets or to be acquired in any manner by any other person or to acquire a material amount of assets or a material equity position in any other person, whether financial or otherwise;
 
  •  Sun’s board of directors withdraws or modifies, in any manner adverse to Omega, its approval or recommendation of the merger agreement or the merger prior to obtaining shareholder approval; or
 
  •  Sun’s shareholders fail to approve the merger agreement at the Sun shareholder meeting, and within 120 days after the meeting, Sun or any subsidiary of Sun enters into an agreement with

  anyone other than Omega to engage in a change of control transaction, as more fully described on page 49.

      The merger agreement also provides that if either Omega or Sun terminate because the other party’s shareholders failed to approve the merger agreement or because the other party materially breached the merger agreement, then the party terminating the merger agreement is entitled to receive the expenses it incurred in connection with the merger agreement from the other party. However, neither Omega nor Sun will be required to pay any expenses of the other party if that party’s own shareholders failed to approve the merger agreement at its shareholders meeting.

 
Merger of Sun Bank and Omega Bank (See page 50)

      Omega and Sun currently expect that immediately after the completion of the merger, subject to receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, Sun Bank will be merged with and into Omega Bank, referred to as the bank merger. The name of the resulting institution will be Omega Bank, but Sun Bank will continue to operate under the name SunBank as a division of Omega Bank.

 
Regulatory Approvals Are Required to Complete the Merger and the Bank Merger (See page 50)

      The bank merger is subject to the prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, referred to as the OCC, and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. In addition, the merger requires notification to the Federal Reserve Board. We have filed the OCC and Pennsylvania Department of Banking applications and have delivered the appropriate notice to the Federal Reserve Board. Approval by bank regulators is not an endorsement of the merger and/or the bank merger or a determination that the terms of the merger and/or the bank merger are fair to the Sun shareholders. We cannot assure you when or if we will obtain regulatory approval.

 
Board of Directors and Management of Omega Following the Merger (See page 51)

      When we complete the merger, Omega will continue to be managed by its current directors and officers. In addition, three directors of Sun will become directors of Omega and certain Sun executives will become executives of and have entered into severance agreements with Omega.

 
Board of Directors and Management of Omega Bank upon Consummation of the Bank Merger (See page 50)

      When Sun Bank is merged with and into Omega Bank, Omega Bank will continue to be managed by its current directors and officers. In addition, the board of directors of Omega Bank will appoint Robert J. McCormack and three other persons serving as directors of Sun Bank immediately prior to the bank merger, as mutually selected by Omega and Sun, to serve on Omega Bank’s board of directors.

 
Advisory Board Appointees upon Consummation of the Bank Merger (See page 51)

      For a period of two years after the completion of the merger of Omega and Sun, Omega will offer the current directors of Sun Bank either seats on the Sun Bank board of directors, or, if the bank merger has been consummated, seats on a to-be-formed advisory board of the Sun Bank division of Omega Bank which will address and deal with issues in the market area served by Sun Bank. For a period of one year after the merger of Omega and Sun, members of the advisory board will receive board fees (excluding any stock option grants) for each meeting actually attended equal to the fees that were payable to the members of Sun Bank’s board of directors immediately prior to the completion of the merger of Omega and Sun.

 
Affirmative Vote of the Majority of Omega Shares Voting Is Required (See page 22)

      The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by all Omega shareholders entitled to vote on the merger is required to approve the merger agreement.

Table of Contents

      Omega shareholders that owned common stock at the close of business on July 19, 2004 can vote on the merger at Omega’s special shareholder meeting. On that date, there were 8,440,460 shares of Omega common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Omega shareholders can cast one vote for each share of Omega common stock owned on that date.

      The date, time and place of Omega’s special shareholder meeting is as follows:

  September 9, 2004 at 3:00 p.m., local time

Celebration Hall
2280 Commercial Boulevard
State College, Pennsylvania
 
Affirmative Vote of at Least 75% of Sun Shares Outstanding Is Required (See page 23)

      The affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of the Sun shares outstanding is required to approve the merger agreement. The directors and certain executive officers of Sun, who collectively hold approximately 8.4% of Sun common stock, have agreed in writing to vote in favor of the merger agreement. In addition, FNB Corporation, which holds approximately 14% of Sun common stock, has agreed in writing to vote in favor of the merger agreement.

      Sun shareholders that owned common stock at the close of business on July 19, 2004 can vote on the merger at Sun’s special shareholder meeting. On that date, there were 7,706,961 shares of Sun common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Sun shareholders can cast one vote for each share of Sun common stock owned on that date.

      The date, time and place of Sun’s special shareholder meeting is as follows:

  September 9, 2004 at 10:30 a.m., local time

Susquehanna Valley Country Club
Mill Road
Hummels Wharf, Pennsylvania
 
Neither Omega’s nor Sun’s Shareholders Have Dissenters Rights (See pages 23 and 24)

      Neither Omega’s nor Sun’s shareholders will be entitled to dissent from the merger and have the value of their shares of common stock appraised in connection with the merger under Pennsylvania law or otherwise.

 
Omega’s Reasons for the Merger (See page 27)

      The Omega board of directors recommends the merger because the board of directors believes, among other reasons, that Sun Bank will complement and broaden Omega Bank’s existing customer base in the central Pennsylvania market. In addition, the Omega board of directors believes that the cost of the merger in financial terms represents a reasonable investment by Omega in furthering its business strategy.

      To review Omega’s reasons for the merger in greater detail, see page 27.

 
Sun’s Reasons for the Merger (See page 27)

      The Sun board of directors recommends the merger because the board believes that the merger provides shareholders with a favorable return on their investment in Sun common stock, while also allowing those shareholders who want to continue their ownership interest or delay the recognition of tax to do so through electing to receive Omega common stock instead of cash.

      To review Sun’s reasons for the merger in greater detail, see the discussion beginning on page 27.

Certain of Sun’s Directors and Executive Officers Have Financial Interests in the Merger That Are Different from or in Addition to Their Interests as Shareholders (See page 55)

      Sun directors and executive officers have financial interests in the merger that are different from or in addition to their interests as shareholders of Sun.

      These interests exist because of severance agreements that some executives of Sun have entered into with Omega and rights that some Sun executives have under employment and change of control agreements between these executives and Sun. These agreements provide certain executives with severance benefits if their employment with the combined company is terminated at or after the completion of the merger. The aggregate value of the severance, employment and change in control agreements is $2,718,000.

      Additionally, certain directors of Sun and Sun Bank will become directors of Omega and/or Omega Bank. Immediately following the merger, three individuals who served as directors of Sun immediately prior to the merger will become directors of Omega. Following the bank merger, Robert J. McCormack and three other directors of Sun Bank will become directors of Omega Bank. Further, each individual who was a member of Sun Bank’s board of directors immediately prior to the bank merger will be offered a position on a newly-created advisory board to the SunBank division of Omega Bank. For a period of one year after the merger of Omega and Sun, members of the advisory board will receive board fees equal to the board fees that they would have received as members of Sun Bank’s board of directors if the merger had not taken place.

      Sun’s board of directors knew about these additional interests, and considered them, when it approved the merger agreement.

RISK FACTORS

      In considering whether to approve the merger and, for Sun shareholders, whether to elect to convert your shares of Sun common stock into cash versus Omega common stock, you should consider carefully the risks we describe below. In addition, we direct your attention to “Item 1: Business — Investment Considerations” in Omega’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, which discusses certain risks associated with an investment in Omega’s common stock.

If Omega is unable to successfully integrate Sun into Omega’s operations, Omega may not realize the benefits it expects from the merger.

      If Omega is unable to successfully integrate Sun into Omega’s operations, Omega may not be able to realize expected operating efficiencies, eliminate redundant costs or operate the businesses profitably. The successful integration of Omega and Sun could be adversely affected by one or more of the following risks:

  •  The cost, in both money and human effort, required to integrate the operations of the companies may be greater than we expect;
 
  •  It may be more difficult than we expect to control expenses after the merger, which would make it more difficult to improve our overall operating efficiencies and obtain the benefits of economies of scale;
 
  •  Customers of Sun Bank may choose not to maintain their deposits, loans and other banking relationships with Omega after the merger;
 
  •  It may be more difficult than we anticipate to integrate Sun’s personnel into Omega’s operations; and
 
  •  The loss of key senior management of Sun, which operates in a number of markets that are different than the markets currently served by Omega, could make it more difficult for Omega to realize the benefits it expects from the merger with Sun.

A decline in the market price of Omega common stock reduces the value of the consideration payable to Sun shareholders.

      Sun common stock that is converted into Omega common stock will be converted at a ratio, known as the exchange ratio, equal to 0.664 shares of Omega common stock for each share of Sun common stock. If the market price of Omega common stock is more than $35.01 during the election period, Sun shareholders may elect to receive stock with the expectation that they will sell the stock immediately after the merger and receive more than $35.01 per share of Sun. However, if the market price of Omega common stock is less than $35.01 when we complete the merger, then the value of the Omega common stock that is received in exchange for Sun common stock will be less than $35.01 per share. The closing price of Omega common stock on July 19, 2004 was $30.23. Sun shareholders are advised to obtain recent market quotations for Omega common stock. We cannot assure you as to the market price of Omega common stock at any time.

Sun shareholders may not receive the cash and Omega common stock that they elect.

      The consideration, which Omega will pay to Sun shareholders when and if we complete the merger, will consist of a combination of cash and Omega common stock. Following the consummation of the merger, approximately 80% of the Sun common stock will be converted into Omega common stock and the remaining outstanding Sun common stock will be exchanged for cash. Although Sun shareholders may submit election forms in which they elect cash, stock or a combination of both, if the holders of more than 80% of Sun’s common stock request stock, then we will allocate stock and cash pro rata so that the total stock consideration does not exceed the 80% limit. Therefore, a Sun shareholder may not receive exactly what he or she elects and, for example, a shareholder who elects to receive only cash may receive cash and stock. For more information about how the consideration is allocated, please read the discussion below

Table of Contents

on page 42 under the caption “The Merger — Material Terms of the Merger Agreement — Conversion of Shares; No Fractional Amounts.”

The market price of Omega common stock may change between the deadline for submitting election forms and the date we complete the merger.

      The forms on which Sun shareholders elect to receive cash or Omega stock must be received no later than 5:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on September 8, 2004. However, we may not complete the merger until some time later. Thus, the market price of the Omega common stock that Sun shareholders receive may be different, on the day they receive it, from the market price on the day they made their original elections. A decline in the market price of Omega common stock would make the stock less valuable to those who elect stock, while an increase in the market price might cause those Sun shareholders who elected to receive cash to realize less per share than those who elected to receive stock.

The Omega common stock issued to Sun shareholders in connection with the merger will be registered with the SEC and therefore will be immediately available for resale in the public market without restriction. If Sun shareholders who receive Omega common stock in the merger sell that stock immediately, it could cause a decline in the market price of Omega common stock.

      Sun shareholders who receive Omega common stock in the merger may elect to sell the stock they receive immediately after the merger. In addition, existing Omega shareholders may try to sell material amounts of Omega common stock immediately after we complete the merger. If this occurs, there could be an excess of sellers over buyers in the market, which could cause a decline in the market price of Omega common stock.

Limited trading activity in Omega common stock may adversely affect the ability to obtain full value upon a quick sale of Omega common stock.

      There is limited trading activity in Omega common stock. For example, during the 2003 fiscal year, there were only 61 trading days in which the daily volume of trading exceeded 10,000 shares. Therefore, it may be difficult for Sun shareholders who receive a substantial amount of Omega common stock in the merger to sell that stock promptly without adversely affecting the market price of Omega common stock.

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE MARKET PRICE INFORMATION

      Omega’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “OMEF.” Sun’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “SUBI.”

      On April 20, 2004, the day on which we publicly announced the merger after the close of trading, and on July 19, 2004, the latest practicable date before the printing of this document, the closing prices of Omega common stock and Sun common stock were as follows:

                                 
Equivalent
Market Value
Omega Sun of 100% Stock Equivalent
Common Stock Common Stock Election Cash Election




April 20, 2004
  $ 35.40     $ 18.86     $ 23.50     $ 23.25  
July 19, 2004
    30.23       20.60       20.07       23.25  

      The equivalent market value of a 100% stock election, which is the per share value of the Omega common stock which Sun shareholders would receive for each share of Sun common stock exchanged for Omega common stock in the merger, was calculated by multiplying the closing sale price per share of Omega common stock reflected in the table by 0.664, the merger share exchange ratio.

Omega and Sun shareholders are urged to obtain a current market quotation for Omega common stock. No assurance can be given as to the future prices of, or markets for, Omega common stock.

DIVIDEND POLICIES

      Omega’s board of directors has a policy of paying regular cash dividends on Omega’s common stock. In 2003, Omega declared cash dividends in the aggregate amount of $1.17 per share. The declaration, payment, and amount of dividends in the future is within the discretion of Omega’s board of directors and will depend upon Omega’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other relevant factors.

      Sun pays cash dividends at the discretion of its board of directors and to the extent funds are legally available. On April 15, 2004, Sun announced a $0.1815 per share dividend to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 28, 2004. The level of Sun’s dividends depend upon a number of factors, primarily the level of net income, capital ratios, financial condition, and the need to retain funds for other uses. Other than regular quarterly cash dividends paid in the same amounts and on the same schedule as past dividends, the declaration of dividends is prohibited by the merger agreement until the merger is consummated or terminated. However, declaration of dividends is otherwise within the discretion of the Sun board of directors, and the board of directors can give no assurance that, if the merger does not occur, dividends will continue to be paid, or if they are paid, what the level or frequency of dividends will be.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

      Omega and Sun file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any reports, statements and other information we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Our SEC filings are also available on the SEC’s Internet site as part of the EDGAR database (http://www.sec.gov).

      Omega has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 to register the shares of Omega common stock to be issued in the merger under the Securities Act. This joint proxy statement/ prospectus is a part of the registration statement on Form S-4 and constitutes a prospectus of Omega in addition to being a proxy statement of each of Omega and Sun for their special meetings. As allowed by the SEC rules, this joint proxy statement/ prospectus does not contain all the information you can find in the registration statement on Form S-4 or the exhibits to the registration statement on Form S-4.

      The SEC also allows Omega and Sun to “incorporate by reference” the information it files with the SEC, which means Omega and Sun can disclose information to you by referring you to another document filed separately with the SEC. Information incorporated by reference is deemed to be part of this joint proxy statement/ prospectus. Later information filed by Omega or Sun with the SEC updates and supersedes this joint proxy statement/ prospectus.

      Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

THE MERGER

Background of the Merger

      In July 2002, Omega and Sun executed a confidentiality agreement and, thereafter, representatives of Omega and Sun engaged in several informal discussions regarding general business operations due to the companies’ shared community banking philosophies and similar markets served. However, during those discussions, neither Omega nor Sun demonstrated sufficient interest to pursue a business combination or affiliation.

      During late 2003 and early 2004, Sun’s management and the board of directors of Sun met several times to discuss alternatives to refinance, pay off or partially pay off Sun’s existing Federal Home Loan Bank debt and to analyze the anticipated effects that these actions may have on Sun’s strategic, business and financial prospects. In early 2004, these discussions led Sun’s management team and board of directors to consider what other strategic alternatives existed and what effect these strategic alternatives may have on Sun’s strategic, business and financial prospects, and on Sun’s various constituencies, including its shareholders and customers. During February 2004, Sun’s management concluded, after preparation and review of its own internal analysis, that it would be appropriate for Sun’s board of directors to more seriously consider a potential business combination.

      In early 2004, Robert J. McCormack, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sun, and representatives of Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc., referred to as “KBW,” met several times to discuss a range of issues, including a possible business combination involving Sun. At a meeting on February 27, 2004, Sun’s board of directors considered alternatives for a potential business combination and reviewed a preliminary analysis prepared by KBW. On March 1, 2004, Sun engaged KBW to contact various companies that may have interest in a business combination with Sun. In early March 2004, KBW, on Sun’s behalf, contacted 16 companies, including Omega, regarding a possible business combination.

Table of Contents

      In early March 2004, Omega’s and Sun’s executive management met to discuss a possible business combination. At that meeting, Sun relayed that, primarily as a result of its balance sheet structure and the negative impact on its earnings caused by its Federal Home Loan Bank debt, Sun was reviewing possible financial restructuring alternatives. However, in order to repay its Federal Home Loan Bank debt, Sun would incur a pre-payment penalty estimated by Sun to be approximately $29 million. Alternatively, Sun’s management expressed to Omega that Sun was also considering the possibility of merging its operations with another suitable bank holding company. On March 10, 2004, Sun engaged Shumaker Williams, P.C. as its special counsel in connection with a potential business combination.

      During the week of March 1, 2004, Omega engaged Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. to act as the financial advisor to Omega’s board of directors in connection with a possible business combination with Sun, as memorialized by letter dated March 22, 2004. Omega also engaged Blank Rome, LLP as its special legal counsel and Ernst & Young, LLP to provide financial, accounting and tax advisory services in connection with a potential transaction with Sun. On or about March 5, 2004, KBW provided Omega with certain materials relating to Sun and its businesses.

      On March 11, 2004, Omega’s board of directors and executive management met with representatives of Sandler O’Neill to discuss a potential merger with Sun. At the meeting, Sandler O’Neill presented a financial analysis, with input from Omega’s executive management, relating to a potential merger transaction with Sun. Among other things, Omega’s board of directors discussed the fact that Sun’s sole banking subsidiary, Sun Bank, provides traditional banking services in central Pennsylvania, including markets not currently served by Omega Bank, which would complement and broaden Omega Bank’s existing customer base in central Pennsylvania and potential cost savings that such a combination may achieve. Omega’s board of directors also discussed that the larger size of the combined company would place it in a stronger position to satisfy the financial needs of its expanded customer base. In addition, Omega’s board considered that a merger with Sun was consistent with Omega’s 2004 Strategic Plan, which included an initiative to acquire other banks or financial service providers to effectively utilize Omega’s existing capital base for potential earnings enhancement. Omega’s board of directors authorized Omega’s executive management, with the assistance of Omega’s financial advisors and legal counsel, to conduct negotiations with Sun regarding a merger. Omega’s board also approved certain financial terms regarding a proposed merger and authorized the issuance of a non-binding indication of interest to Sun for a proposed merger. On March 16, 2004, Omega sent to Sun a non-binding indication of interest, which contained a range of merger prices and certain other proposed terms for merging Sun with and into Omega.

      On March 18, 2004, KBW made a presentation to Sun’s board of directors regarding various strategic alternatives, including a potential business combination. KBW representatives presented three confidential, non-binding indications of interest that resulted from the contacts with the 16 companies, including the one received from Omega. KBW also presented information regarding each of the companies that submitted non-binding indications of interest. Also discussed at the meeting, among other things, was the overview of the transaction process, a trading analysis of Sun, a comparable transaction analysis, discounted cash flow analyses and earnings analyses. Upon discussing the matters presented at this meeting, Sun’s board of directors authorized continued discussions with Omega and the other two companies that submitted a non-binding indication of interest to determine if any of them would submit a revised proposal to the board of directors with terms more advantageous to Sun and its constituencies.

      By letter dated March 19, 2004, KBW requested that Omega submit a best and final indication of interest, to include specific financial terms, by no later than 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on March 23, 2004. On March 22, 2004, Omega’s board of directors held a meeting at which further financial analysis relating to the proposed merger with Sun was presented by Sandler O’Neill. Omega’s board of directors discussed various financial scenarios of a proposed merger with Sun. On March 23, 2004, Omega provided to KBW, Omega’s final, non-binding indication of interest, which contained Omega’s revised terms for the proposed merger with Sun.

Table of Contents

      On March 25, 2004, Sun’s board of directors met to review the status of discussions with the three companies that had submitted non-binding indications of interest. KBW representatives discussed their conversations with each of these three companies, two of which, including Omega, had submitted revised non-binding indications of interest. Sun’s board of directors discussed these revised indications of interest, including their proposed financial terms and non-financial matters. Sun’s board of directors also discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each revised indication of interest and of engaging in a proposed transaction with each company that submitted a revised indication of interest. At the conclusion of their discussions, Sun’s board of directors authorized Sun’s management to continue discussions with Omega and to permit Omega to conduct due diligence on Sun.

      Omega’s representatives, including its financial advisors and legal counsel, conducted due diligence activity relating to Sun and its subsidiaries from March 30, 2004 through April 6, 2004. On April 5, 2004, Sun received the initial draft of an Agreement and Plan of Merger from Omega through its special counsel. On April 6, 2004, representatives of Sun conducted due diligence on Omega.

      On April 8, 2004, Sun’s board of directors met to discuss the status of the negotiations with Omega. At the meeting, the results of the due diligence process and review were discussed and considered by Sun’s board of directors. Sun’s special counsel, Shumaker Williams, P.C., made a presentation regarding terms contained in the initial draft of the merger agreement. KBW also presented the financial terms of the transaction. Sun’s board of directors discussed the proposed terms of the merger, including financial and non-financial terms, and authorized Sun to continue the merger negotiations.

      On April 12, 2004, Omega’s board of directors met to review the due diligence findings presented by Omega’s senior management, financial advisors, external auditors and legal counsel. Omega’s legal counsel reviewed certain terms and conditions contained in a draft of the merger agreement and obtained the board of directors’ recommendations on certain issues relating to the merger agreement. Representatives from Sandler O’Neill participated in the discussions regarding the financial terms of the merger at this meeting. Omega’s board of directors authorized Omega to continue with the negotiations with Sun toward completion of a definitive merger agreement.

      Between April 13 and April 19, 2004, Omega and Sun continued their merger negotiations through their financial advisors and legal counsel. In addition, during this time period, members of Omega’s and Sun’s senior management met to negotiate certain terms relating to the merger. Various drafts of the merger agreement and related documents were exchanged during this period.

      On April 19, 2004, Sun’s board of directors held a special meeting at which representatives of KBW and Sun’s special counsel were present. Sun’s board of directors discussed the results of Sun’s continuing due diligence on Omega. KBW and Sun’s special counsel briefed Sun’s board of directors on final negotiations concerning the merger agreement and related matters. Sun’s board of directors discussed, among other matters, the proposed terms of the merger, including financial terms. Specifically, Sun’s board discussed the structure of the transaction, merger consideration terms, tax aspects of the merger, the provisions regarding appointees to the boards of directors of Omega and Omega Bank, the representations, warranties and covenants of the parties and certain non-financial issues. Sun’s board of directors reviewed the most recent drafts of the merger agreement and ancillary documents in detail. During this meeting, KBW delivered its written opinion to Sun’s board of directors that the merger consideration was fair to Sun’s shareholders, from a financial point of view. See “— Opinions of Financial Advisors — Opinion of Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc.” Following these discussions, Sun’s board of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Sun’s board of directors authorized Sun’s officers to execute the merger agreement upon receiving confirmation that Omega’s board of directors had approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

      On April 19, 2004, Omega’s board of directors held a meeting at which Omega’s legal counsel presented an update and summary on the status of the merger agreement and related documents. Representatives from Sandler O’Neill presented their financial analysis. During this meeting, Sandler O’Neill orally delivered its opinion that, as of that date, the merger consideration was fair to Omega, from

26


Table of Contents

a financial point of view. See “— Opinions of Financial Advisors — Opinion of Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P.” Thereafter, Omega’s board of directors unanimously approved the proposed merger agreement and related transactions, and agreed to execute the merger agreement upon satisfactory receipt of certain disclosure schedules to the merger agreement, which Omega received on April 20, 2004.

      After the close of trading on the NASDAQ National Market on April 20, 2004, Omega and Sun signed the merger agreement and issued a joint press release publicly announcing the merger.

Recommendation of Omega’s Board of Directors and Reasons for the Merger

      Omega’s board of directors unanimously determined that the terms of the merger agreement and the merger are in the best interests of Omega and its shareholders. In arriving at its determination, the Omega board of directors consulted with Omega’s management, as well as its legal counsel, accountants and financial advisors and gave significant consideration to a number of factors bearing on its decision. The Omega board of directors considered the following material factors:

  •  Omega seeks to grow both internally and through the acquisition of complimentary businesses. Sun Bank, which provides traditional banking services in central Pennsylvania, including markets not currently served by Omega Bank, will complement and broaden Omega Bank’s existing customer base in central Pennsylvania;
 
  •  Sun Bank’s business strategy is consistent with Omega Bank’s customer-focused community banking operating model. The larger size of the combined company would place the combined company in a stronger position to satisfy the financial needs of its expanded customer base;
 
  •  The belief of the Omega board of directors that the cost of the merger in financial terms represents a reasonable investment by Omega in furthering its business strategy;
 
  •  The likelihood of the merger being approved by the appropriate regulatory authorities;
 
  •  The belief of the Omega board of directors that, while no assurances can be given, it was likely that the merger would be completed and that the business and financial benefits contemplated in connection with the merger are likely to be achieved within a reasonable time frame;
 
  •  The structure of the merger and the terms of the merger agreement, including the fact that the exchange ratio provides reasonable certainty as to the amount of cash to be paid and the number of shares of Omega common stock to be issued in the merger; and
 
  •  The opinion of Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. to the Omega board of directors that, as of April 19, 2004, the date of the board of directors meeting at which the board of directors approved the merger (subject to receipt of satisfactory schedules), based on and subject to the considerations presented in the opinion, the consideration offered in connection with the merger agreement was fair to Omega from a financial point of view.

      Omega does not intend this discussion of the information and factors considered by the Omega board of directors to be exhaustive, although this discussion does include all material factors considered by the Omega board of directors. In reaching its determination to approve and recommend the merger agreement to the Omega shareholders for their approval, the Omega board of directors did not assign any relative or specific weights to the factors considered, and individual directors of Omega might have weighed factors differently.

      The board of directors of Omega unanimously recommends that Omega shareholders vote in favor of the merger agreement.

Recommendation of Sun’s Board of Directors and Reasons for the Merger

      The Sun board of directors has unanimously approved the merger agreement and unanimously recommends that Sun shareholders vote “FOR” approval and adoption of the merger agreement.

27


Table of Contents

      The Sun board of directors has determined that the merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, Sun and its shareholders. In approving the merger agreement, the Sun board of directors consulted with Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc., with respect to the financial aspects and fairness of the exchange ratio and the merger consideration to be received by Sun shareholders, from a financial point of view, and with its legal counsel, as to its legal duties and the terms of the merger agreement. In arriving at its determination, the Sun board of directors also considered the following material factors:

  •  The board of directors’ familiarity with and review of information concerning the business, results of operations, financial condition, competitive position and future prospects of Sun, including the potential prospective impact of Sun’s Federal Home Loan Bank debt;
 
  •  The current and prospective environment in which Sun operates, including national, regional and local economic conditions, the competitive environment for banks and other financial institutions generally and the increased regulatory burdens on financial institutions and public companies generally and the trend toward consolidation in the banking industry and in the financial services industry;
 
  •  The financial presentation of Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and the opinion of Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc. that, as of the date of the opinion, the merger consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Sun common stock (see “— Opinions of Financial Advisors — Opinion of Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc.” beginning on page 37);
 
  •  The historical market prices of Sun common stock and the fact that the merger consideration represented a 24% premium over the per share closing price of Sun common stock on April 16, 2004, and a 26% premium over the per share closing prices of Sun common stock one month prior to the merger announcement;
 
  •  Results that might be obtained by Sun, if it continued to operate independently, and the likely benefits to shareholders of such a course, as compared with the value of the merger consideration offered by Omega;
 
  •  The financial attributes of Sun and Omega’s common stock, dividend yield, liquidity and corporate fundamentals;
 
  •  The Sun board of directors considered the financial terms of the proposed merger. Shareholders would receive $23.25 or 0.644 shares of Omega common stock for each share of Sun stock held. The Sun board of directors found the proposed consideration attractive because it was favorable relative to the premiums paid in other recent transactions. Also, the Sun board of directors found the premium offered by Omega to be substantial, given Sun’s future financial prospects, and the other indications of interest received during the process. The Sun board of directors considered the presentation of Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc., at the April 19, 2004, meeting concerning the financial terms of the proposed merger. Among other comparisons and financial reports, Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc. presented an analysis of comparable transactions, a discounted cash flow analysis, a pro forma merger analysis and a shareholder impact analysis, which analyses the board of directors considered favorable because each of these analyses indicated that the premium to be received by the Sun Shareholders was substantial and supported its decision to approve the merger.
 
  •  Omega’s history of paying cash dividends on its common stock, the dividend payout amounts, the payout ratios relative to Omega’s earnings, and the increased dividends that each Sun shareholder would receive upon completion of the merger were factors that the Sun board of directors found favorable. The Sun board of directors considered whether Sun, as an independent enterprise, could produce the earnings necessary to result in a value comparable to the value to be received in the merger. In addition, the Sun board of directors determined that Omega’s current dividend payment exceeds Sun’s potential in the near term.
 
  •  Omega trades on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “OMEF.” The board of directors found the enhanced liquidity that may be associated with the combined company’s

28


Table of Contents

  common stock, compared with more limited trading market of Sun’s common stock, to be a favorable factor in their analysis, because shareholders should be able to trade company stock more easily after the merger.
 
  •  The increased availability of capital to allow the resulting company to grow its assets and market share was also considered a favorable factor. The Sun board of directors also considered the resulting company’s ability to pursue larger customer relationships, as a result of the enhanced capital base resulting from the merger.
 
  •  The commitment, by Omega, to the three executive management members of Sun to remain with the company following the merger was considered a favorable factor. Sun’s confidence in the experience and expertise of Sun’s present executive management made the continuity of Sun’s three executive officers an advantage going forward.
 
  •  The expected qualification of the merger as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code was considered a favorable factor, because the tax consequences to the combined entity would not have the negative impact of a taxable merger transaction.
 
  •  The Sun board of directors and Sun’s management performed extensive review of Omega. As a part of its due diligence review, Sun reviewed Omega’s business, operations, financial conditions, earnings and prospects. In addition, Sun considered that the two companies have similar and compatible philosophies about banking, financial performance and shareholder value. The ability of Sun to affiliate with a company that has a fundamentally similar culture and business philosophy was considered favorable because the similar cultures would enhance the opportunities for growth and profitability of the combined company.
 
  •  The Sun board of directors considered as favorable Sun’s current condition and historical operating results and the effects of a merger with Omega, including the increased earnings potential, and the diminished impact of the borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank because of the accounting treatment of this debt in the transaction and its relative impact given the size of the resulting company.
 
  •  The effects of the merger on Sun’s depositors and customers and the communities served by Sun were deemed to be favorable given that they would be served by a geographically diversified organization with greater resources than Sun;
 
  •  The overall historical performance of Omega was deemed to be a favorable factor to the Sun board of directors;
 
  •  The future business prospects of Omega were deemed to be a favorable factor to the Sun board of directors;
 
  •  The ability of the Sun board of directors to name directors of Sun to the Omega and Omega Bank boards of directors was deemed to be a favorable factor to the Sun board of directors because of the potential influence that these directors may have relative to the respective entire boards of directors;
 
  •  From Sun’s standpoint, the merger represents an attractive opportunity to maximize shareholder value, increase dividends for its shareholders, provide liquidity to shareholders, and join with a company that has sound business prospects and shared values.

      The discussion of factors considered by Sun’s board of directors is not exhaustive, but includes all material factors considered by the board of directors. In approving the merger agreement, Sun’s board of directors did not quantify or assign any specific or relative weights to the various factors considered. Rather, the Sun board of directors based its recommendation on the totality of information presented to it. Individual directors may have weighted factors differently. All of the material factors concerning the proposed merger considered by the Sun board of directors supported the board’s decision to recommend

the transaction to its shareholders. The Sun board of directors is not aware of any factor that failed to support its determination.

Opinions of Financial Advisors

 
Opinion of Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P.

      Omega retained Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. to act as its financial advisor in connection with a possible business combination with Sun. Sandler O’Neill is a nationally recognized investment banking firm whose principal business specialty is financial institutions. In the ordinary course of its investment banking business, Sandler O’Neill is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions.

      Sandler O’Neill acted as financial advisor to Omega in connection with the proposed merger and participated in certain of the negotiations leading to the merger agreement. At the April 19, 2004 meeting at which Omega’s board of directors considered and approved the merger agreement, Sandler O’Neill delivered to the board of directors its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, that, as of such date, the merger consideration was fair to Omega from a financial point of view. The full text of Sandler O’Neill’s opinion is attached as Annex B to this joint proxy statement/ prospectus. The opinion outlines the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Sandler O’Neill in rendering its opinion. The description of the opinion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the opinion. We urge Omega shareholders to read the entire opinion carefully in connection with their consideration of the proposed merger.

      Sandler O’Neill’s opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion was directed to the Omega board of directors and is directed only to the fairness of the merger consideration to Omega from a financial point of view. It does not address the underlying business decision of Omega to engage in the merger or any other aspect of the merger and is not a recommendation to any Omega shareholder as to how the shareholder should vote at the special meeting with respect to the merger or any other matter.

      In connection with rendering its April 19, 2004 opinion, Sandler O’Neill reviewed and considered, among other things:

        (1) the merger agreement;
 
        (2) certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Omega that Sandler O’Neill deemed relevant;
 
        (3) certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Sun that Sandler O’Neill deemed relevant;
 
        (4) internal financial projections for Omega for the years ending December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 prepared by and reviewed with management of Omega;
 
        (5) internal financial projections for Sun for the year ending December 31, 2004 prepared by and reviewed with management of Sun;
 
        (6) the pro forma financial impact of the merger on Omega, based on assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings reviewed with Omega’s and Sun’s senior management;
 
        (7) the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for Omega’s and Sun’s common stock, including a comparison of certain financial and stock market information for Omega and Sun with similar publicly available information for certain other companies, the securities of which are publicly traded;
 
        (8) the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the commercial banking industry, to the extent publicly available;
 
        (9) the current market environment, generally, and the banking environment in particular; and

        (10) other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as they considered relevant.

      Sandler O’Neill also discussed with certain members of Omega’s senior management the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Omega and held similar discussions with certain members of Sun’s senior management and its advisors regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Sun and their views of the impact of Sun’s acquisition of Sentry Trust Company on the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Sun.

      In performing its reviews and analyses and in rendering its opinion, Sandler O’Neill assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all the financial information, analyses and other information that was publicly available or otherwise furnished to, reviewed by or discussed with it and further relied on the assurances of management of Omega and Sun that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make the information inaccurate or misleading. Sandler O’Neill was not asked to and did not independently verify the accuracy or completeness of any of such information and it did not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness of any of such information. Sandler O’Neill did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities, contingent or otherwise, of Omega or of Sun or any of their respective subsidiaries, or the collectibility of any such assets, nor was it furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. Sandler O’Neill is not an expert in the evaluation of allowances for loan losses and it did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Omega or Sun, nor did it review any individual credit files relating to Omega or to Sun. With Omega’s consent, Sandler O’Neill assumed that the respective allowances for loan losses for both Omega and Sun were adequate to cover their losses and will be adequate, on a pro forma basis, for the combined entity.

      Sandler O’Neill’s opinion was necessarily based upon market, economic and other conditions as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of, the date of its opinion. Sandler O’Neill assumed, in all respects material to its analysis:

  •  all of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and all related agreements are true and correct;
 
  •  each party to the merger agreement and all related agreements will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under such agreement; and
 
  •  the conditions precedent in the merger agreement are not waived.

      Sandler O’Neill also assumed, with Omega’s consent:

  •  there has been no material change in Omega’s and Sun’s assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the last financial statements made available to them;
 
  •  that Omega and Sun will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to its analyses; and
 
  •  the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

Finally, with Omega’s consent, Sandler O’Neill relied upon the advice Omega received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

      In rendering its April 19, 2004 opinion, Sandler O’Neill performed a variety of financial analyses. The following is a summary of the material analyses performed by Sandler O’Neill, but is not a complete description of all the analyses underlying Sandler O’Neill’s opinion. The summary includes information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, these tables must be read together with the accompanying text. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving subjective judgments as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. The process, therefore, is not necessarily susceptible to a

31


Table of Contents

partial analysis or summary description. Sandler O’Neill believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the factors and analyses considered without considering all factors and analyses, or attempting to ascribe relative weights to some or all factors and analyses, could create an incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying its opinion. Also, no company included in Sandler O’Neill’s comparative analyses described below is identical to Omega or Sun and no transaction is identical to the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of comparable companies or transactions involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect the public trading values or merger transaction values, as the case may be, of Omega or Sun and the companies to which they are being compared.

      The earnings projections used and relied upon by Sandler O’Neill in its analyses were based upon internal financial projections furnished by management of Omega and Sun, respectively. These financial projections and estimates and all projections of transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments and expected cost savings relating to the merger were reviewed with Omega’s and Sun’s senior management, and Omega’s management confirmed to Sandler O’Neill that they reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of Omega’s management of the future financial performance of the combined company following the merger. Sandler O’Neill assumed that the performances would be achieved. Sandler O’Neill expressed no opinion as to the financial projections or the assumptions on which they were based. The financial projections for Omega were prepared for internal purposes only and not with a view towards public disclosure. These projections, as well as the other estimates used by Sandler O’Neill in its analyses, were based on numerous variables and assumptions which are inherently uncertain and, accordingly, actual results could vary materially from those set forth in the projections.

      In performing its analyses, Sandler O’Neill also made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions and various other matters, many of which cannot be predicted and are beyond the control of Omega, Sun and Sandler O’Neill. The analyses performed by Sandler O’Neill are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by the analyses. Sandler O’Neill prepared its analyses solely for purposes of rendering its opinion and provided the analyses to the Omega board of directors at its meeting on April 19, 2004. Estimates on the values of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or their securities may actually be sold. Such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty and actual values may be materially different. Accordingly, Sandler O’Neill’s analyses do not necessarily reflect the value of Omega’s or Sun’s common stock or the prices at which Omega’s or Sun’s common stock may be sold at any time.

      Summary of Proposal. Sandler O’Neill reviewed the financial terms of the proposed transaction. Based upon the closing price of Omega’s common stock on April 16, 2004 of $35.65, and assuming that 80% of Sun’s shares are converted into Omega common stock at an exchange ratio of 0.664 and the remaining 20% are converted into $23.25 per share in cash in the merger, Sandler O’Neill calculated an implied transaction value of $23.59 per share. Based upon financial information for Sun for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, and including the impact of Sun’s recent acquisition of Sentry Trust Company, Sandler O’Neill calculated the following ratios:

      For purposes of Sandler O’Neill’s analyses, earnings per share were based on fully diluted earnings per share. The aggregate transaction value was approximately $184 million, based upon 7.78 million shares of Omega common stock outstanding and including the intrinsic value of options to purchase an aggregate of 503,384 shares with a weighted average strike price of $24.03. Sandler O’Neill noted that the aggregate transaction value represented a 25.3% premium over Sun’s market capitalization at April 16, 2004.

      Stock Trading History. Sandler O’Neill reviewed the history of the reported trading prices and volume of Omega’s and Sun’s common stock for the one-year period ended April 16, 2004 and compared the relationship between the movements in the prices of Omega’s and Sun’s common stock to movements in the prices of the Nasdaq Bank Index, the Standard & Poor’s Bank Index, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and the weighted average performance (based on market capitalization) of a composite peer group of publicly traded commercial banking institutions selected by Sandler O’Neill. The peer group was comprised of the commercial banks identified under “Comparable Company Analysis” below.

      During the one year period ended April 16, 2004, the common stock of each of Sun and Omega underperformed each of the indices to which it was compared.

      Analysis of Selected Merger Transactions. Sandler O’Neill reviewed 18 merger transactions announced nationwide from June 30, 2003 through April 16, 2004 involving commercial banking institutions as acquired institutions with transaction values greater than $100 million. Sandler O’Neill also reviewed 13 merger transactions announced in Pennsylvania from January 1, 2002 through April 16, 2004 involving commercial banking institutions as acquired institutions with transaction values greater than $25 million. Sandler O’Neill reviewed the multiples of transaction price at announcement to previous twelve months’ earnings per share, transaction price at announcement to estimated current year earnings per share, transaction price to book value per share, transaction price to tangible book value per share and tangible book premium to core deposits and computed mean and median multiples and premiums for the transactions. The median multiples were applied to Sun’s financial information as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. As illustrated in the following table, Sandler O’Neill derived an imputed range of values per share of Sun’s common stock of $18.65 to $30.49 based upon the median multiples for the transactions.

      Discounted Dividend Stream and Terminal Value Analysis. Sandler O’Neill performed an analysis that estimated the future stream of after-tax dividend flows of Sun through December 31, 2007 under various circumstances, assuming Sun’s projected dividend stream and that Sun performed in accordance with the earnings projections reviewed with management. For periods after 2004, Sandler O’Neill assumed an annual growth rate of earnings per share of approximately 4.5%. To approximate the terminal value of Sun common stock at December 31, 2007, Sandler O’Neill applied price/earnings multiples ranging from 15x to 25x and multiples of tangible book value ranging from 225% to 350%. The dividend income streams and terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 9.5% to 11.5% chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of Sun common stock. As illustrated in the following tables, this analysis indicated an imputed range of values per share of Omega common stock of $13.72 to $22.72 when applying the price/earnings multiples and $13.62 to $21.23 when applying multiples of tangible book value.

      In connection with its analyses, Sandler O’Neill considered and discussed with the Omega board of directors how the present value analyses would be affected by changes in the underlying assumptions, including variations with respect to the growth rate of assets, net income and dividend payout ratio. Sandler O’Neill noted that the discounted dividend stream and terminal value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of the methodology are highly dependent upon the numerous assumptions that must be made, and the results thereof are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results.

      Pro Forma Merger Analysis. Sandler O’Neill also analyzed certain potential pro forma effects of the merger, assuming the following: (1) the merger closes in the fourth quarter of 2004, (2) 80% of the Sun shares are exchanged for Omega common stock at an exchange ratio of 0.664 and the remaining 20% of Sun’s shares are exchanged for $23.25 in cash, (3) earnings per share projections for Omega and Sun are consistent with management per share estimates for 2004, and long-term earnings per share growth estimates for periods thereafter are consistent with management growth estimates for both companies, and (4) purchase accounting adjustments, charges and transaction costs associated with the merger and cost savings determined by Omega’s and Sun’s senior management. The analysis was performed with and without giving effect to the mark to market adjustments to Sun’s portfolio of securities, loans, deposits and borrowings. The analysis indicated that for the year ending December 31, 2005, the merger would be 19.25% accretive to Omega’s projected earnings per share when giving effect to the mark to market adjustments and 2.10% accretive when excluding the effect of those adjustments. The analysis also

35


Table of Contents

indicated that, at December 31, 2004 (the assumed closing date of the merger) the merger would be dilutive to tangible book value per share. The actual results achieved by the combined company may vary from projected results and the variations may be material.

      Sandler O’Neill used the same assumptions to compare selected pro forma financial and market trading information for Omega, to that of a group of publicly traded commercial banks headquartered in the Mid-Atlantic region selected by Sandler O’Neill. The pro forma peer group consisted of the following publicly traded commercial banks with total assets from $2.2 billion to $3.9 billion:

     
Community Bank Systems
  Harleysville National
National Penn Bancshares
  Sterling Financial
U.S.B. Holding Co.
  Sandy Spring Bancorp
S&T Bancorp
  Financial Inst, Inc.
Sun Bancorp
   

      The analysis compared the pro forma financial information for Omega as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 with that of the pro forma peer group as of and for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2003 (or, in certain cases, where available, March 31, 2004). The table below sets forth the data for Omega and the median data for the pro forma peer group, with pricing data assumed to be the same as the April 16, 2004 pricing data.

Opinion of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods

      Sun engaged Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, referred to as KBW, to render financial advisory and investment banking services to and at the request of Sun. KBW agreed to assist Sun in analyzing, structuring, negotiating and effecting a transaction. Sun selected KBW because KBW is a nationally recognized investment-banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the merger and is familiar with Sun and its business. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of financial businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions.

      As part of its engagement, representatives of KBW attended the meeting of Sun’s board of directors held on April 19, 2004, at which Sun’s board of directors evaluated the proposed merger with Omega. At this meeting, KBW reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed merger and rendered a verbal opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing that, as of such date, the consideration to be received by Sun shareholders in the merger was fair to those shareholders from a financial point of view. Sun’s board of directors approved the merger agreement at this meeting.

      The full text of KBW’s written opinion is attached as Annex C to this document and is incorporated herein by reference. Sun’s shareholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety for a description of the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW. The description of the opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion.

      KBW’s opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion is directed to Sun’s board of directors and addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration to the Sun shareholders. It does not address the underlying business decision to proceed with the merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any Sun shareholder as to how the shareholder should vote at the Sun special meeting on the merger or any related matter.

      In rendering its opinion, KBW:

  •  reviewed, among other things,

        (a) the merger agreement,

        (b) Annual Reports to shareholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of Omega,

        (c) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Omega,

        (d) Annual Reports to shareholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of Sun, and

        (e) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Sun;

  •  held discussions with members of senior management of Sun and Omega regarding

        (a) past and current business operations,

        (b) regulatory relationships,

        (c) financial condition, and

        (d) future prospects of the respective companies;

37


Table of Contents

  •  reviewed the market prices, valuation multiples, publicly reported financial condition and results of operations for Sun and Omega and compared them with those of certain publicly traded companies that KBW deemed to be relevant;
 
  •  compared the proposed financial terms of the merger with the financial terms of certain other transactions that KBW deemed to be relevant; and
 
  •  performed other studies and analyses that KBW considered appropriate.

      In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, KBW relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to or otherwise made available to KBW or that was discussed with, or reviewed by KBW, or that was publicly available. KBW did not attempt or assume any responsibility to verify such information independently. KBW relied upon the management of Sun and Omega as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections (and assumptions and bases therefor) provided to KBW. KBW assumed, without independent verification, that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for Omega and Sun are adequate to cover those losses. KBW did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of any assets or liabilities of Omega or Sun, nor did they examine or review any individual credit files.

      The projections furnished to KBW and used by it in certain of its analyses were prepared by Sun’s and Omega’s senior management teams. Sun and Omega do not publicly disclose internal management projections of the type provided to KBW in connection with its review of the merger. As a result, such projections were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure. The projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions, which are inherently uncertain, including factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in the projections.

      For purposes of rendering its opinion, KBW assumed that, in all respects material to its analyses:

  •  the merger will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement;
 
  •  the representations and warranties of each party in the merger agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the merger agreement are true and correct;
 
  •  each party to the merger agreement and all related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents;
 
  •  all conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied without any waivers; and
 
  •  in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the merger, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity or the contemplated benefits of the merger, including the cost savings and related expenses expected to result from the merger.

      KBW further assumed that the merger will be accounted for as a purchase under generally accepted accounting principles, and that the conversion of Sun’s common stock into Omega common stock will be tax-free for Omega and Sun. KBW’s opinion is not an expression of an opinion as to the prices at which shares of Sun common stock or shares of Omega common stock will trade following the announcement of the merger or the actual value of the shares of common stock of the combined company when issued pursuant to the merger, or the prices at which the shares of common stock of the combined company will trade following the completion of the merger.

      In performing its analyses, KBW made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, which are beyond the control of KBW, Sun and Omega. Any estimates contained in the analyses performed by KBW are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Additionally, estimates of the value of businesses or securities do not

38


Table of Contents

purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which such businesses or securities might actually be sold. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. In addition, the KBW opinion was among several factors taken into consideration by Sun’s board of directors in making its determination to approve the merger agreement and the merger. Consequently, the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of Sun’s board of directors with respect to the fairness of the merger consideration.

      The following is a summary of the material analyses presented by KBW to Sun’s board of directors on April 19, 2004, in connection with its oral fairness opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing. The summary is not a complete description of the analyses underlying the KBW opinion or the presentation made by KBW to Sun’s board of directors, but summarizes the material analyses performed and presented in connection with such opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytic process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, KBW did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. Accordingly, KBW believes that its analyses and the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses.

      Summary of Proposal. Sun shareholders will receive approximately $35.7 million in cash and 4.079 million shares of Omega common stock (subject to adjustment based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of Sun common stock at the time of the merger). Based upon Omega’s closing share price on April 16, 2004 of $35.65, KBW calculated a $23.59 price per Sun share.

      Selected Peer Group Analysis. KBW compared the financial performance and market performance of Omega to those of a group of comparable bank holding companies with assets between $1.0 billion and $11.0 billion and the financial performance and market performance of Sun to those of a group of comparable bank holding companies with assets between $500 million and $11.0 billion.

      To perform this analysis, KBW used the financial information as of and for the quarter or year ended December 31, 2003. Market price information was as of April 16, 2004, and 2004 and 2005 earnings estimates were taken from a nationally recognized earnings estimate consolidator for comparable companies.

      Financial Impact Analysis. KBW performed pro forma merger analyses that combined projected income statement and balance sheet information of Omega and Sun. Assumptions regarding the accounting treatment, acquisition adjustments and cost savings were used to calculate the financial impact that the merger would have on certain projected financial results of Omega.

40


Table of Contents

      In the course of this analysis, KBW used Omega management’s earnings estimate for 2004 and forecasted earnings growth of 5% for 2005 and used Sun management’s earnings estimate for 2004 and 2005. This analysis indicated that the merger is expected to be accretive to estimated earnings per share in 2005. The analysis also indicated that the merger is expected to be accretive to Omega’s book value per share, but dilutive to Omega’s tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2003. Furthermore, the analysis indicated that Omega’s Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio would all decline but remain above regulatory minimums for well capitalized institutions. This analysis was based on certain assumptions provided by Omega with regard to expense savings, merger related charges and the amortization of intangibles. For all of the above analyses, the actual results achieved by Omega following the merger will vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material.

      Comparable Transaction Analysis. KBW reviewed certain financial data related to comparably sized acquisitions of bank holding companies announced after January 1, 2002, with aggregate transaction values between $100 million and $1 billion. The transactions included in the group were:

  BSB Bancorp, Inc.

  United National Bancorp
United Bankshares, Inc.
  Sequoia Bancshares, Inc.
Mercantile Bankshares Corp.
  F&M Bancorp
Sky Financial Group Inc.
  Three Rivers Bancorp, Inc.

      Transaction multiples for the merger were derived from $23.59 (based upon Omega’s closing share price on April 16, 2004) per share price for Sun. KBW compared these results with announced multiples. The results of the analysis are set forth in the following table.

      No company or transaction used as a comparison in the above analysis is identical to Sun, Omega or the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies.

      Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. KBW estimated the present value of Sun’s common stock based on a continued independence scenario by adding (1) the present value of the estimated future dividend stream that Sun could generate over the period beginning January 2004 and ending in December 2008, and (2) the present value of the terminal value of Sun’s common stock. The earnings assumptions that formed the basis of the analysis were based on Sun management’s earnings estimate per share from 2004-

41


Table of Contents

2007 and an assumed earnings growth rate of 7.0% from 2008-2009. For a projected dividend stream, KBW assumed a constant tangible common equity/tangible assets ratio of 7.0%. A sensitivity table was presented with a range of discount rates from 10.0% to 12.0% and a range of terminal multiples from 15.0 to 17.0 times were applied to the 2009 earnings per share estimate. This resulted in a range of values from $10.85 to $13.46 per share.

      KBW stated that the discounted cash flow present value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology but noted that it relies on numerous assumptions, including asset and earnings growth rates, terminal values and discount rates. The analysis did not purport to be indicative of the actual values or expected values of Sun common stock.

      Other Analyses. KBW reviewed the relative financial and market performance of Sun and Omega to a variety of relevant industry peer groups and indices. KBW also reviewed earnings estimates, balance sheet composition, historical stock performance and other financial data for Omega.

      The Sun board has retained KBW as an independent contractor to act as financial advisor to Sun regarding the merger. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of banking businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, KBW has experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of its business as a broker-dealer, KBW may, from time to time, purchase securities from, and sell securities to, Sun and Omega. As a market maker in securities, KBW may, from time to time, have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of Sun and Omega for KBW’s own account and for the accounts of its customers.

      Sun and KBW have entered into an engagement agreement relating to the services to be provided by KBW in connection with the merger. Sun agreed to pay KBW a cash fee of $100,000 concurrent with the execution of a definitive merger agreement, $250,000 concurrent with the mailing of a merger related proxy statement, and, at the time of closing, a contingent cash fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate market value of the consideration paid for Sun in any transaction; provided however, that any fees paid prior to the contingent cash fee will be credited against the contingent cash fee. Pursuant to the KBW engagement agreement, Sun also agreed to reimburse KBW for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with its retention and to indemnify against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Material Terms of the Merger Agreement

      The following is a brief summary of the material terms of the merger agreement. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement which is incorporated by reference and attached to this joint proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex A. You are urged to read the merger agreement carefully.

 
Conversion of Shares; No Fractional Amounts

      As a result of the merger, Sun will be merged with and into Omega. Each share of Sun common stock will then be converted into either 0.664 shares of Omega common stock or $23.25 in cash as each Sun shareholder elects, subject to the limitations described in this joint proxy statement/ prospectus. Specifically, 80% of the outstanding shares of Sun common stock will be exchanged for Omega common stock and 20% of the outstanding shares of Sun common stock will be converted into the right to receive cash. Therefore, if the holders of more than 80% of the Sun common stock elect to receive Omega common stock or if the holders of more than 20% of the Sun common stock elect to receive cash, the elections that Sun shareholders make will be adjusted as set forth below.

42


Table of Contents

      If the number of shares of Sun common stock for which shareholders elect to receive cash is greater than 20% of the outstanding shares of Sun common stock, then:

  •  holders of shares of Sun common stock who did not submit an election will be deemed to have elected to receive Omega stock; and
 
  •  the number of shares of Sun common stock for which a shareholder elects to receive cash will be reduced pro rata by multiplying the number of shares for which the shareholder elected to receive cash by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Sun common stock equal to 20% of the total number of outstanding shares of Sun common stock, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares for which Sun shareholders elected to receive cash; and
 
  •  the number of shares representing the difference between the Sun shareholder’s initial election for cash and the number of Sun shares that are actually converted into cash will be converted into the right to receive Omega stock as if the shareholder had elected to receive Omega stock for that number of shares.

      If the number of shares of Sun common stock for which shareholders elect to receive Omega common stock is greater than 80% of the outstanding shares of Sun common stock, then:

  •  holders of shares of Sun common stock who did not submit an election will be deemed to have elected to receive cash; and
 
  •  the number of shares of Sun common stock for which a shareholder elects to receive stock will be reduced pro rata by multiplying the number of shares for which the shareholder elected to receive stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Sun common stock equal to 80% of the total number of outstanding shares of Sun common stock, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares for which Sun shareholders elected to receive stock; and
 
  •  the number of shares representing the difference between the Sun shareholder’s initial election for stock and the number of Sun shares that are actually converted into stock will be converted into the right to receive cash as if the shareholder had elected to receive cash for that number of shares.

      If the number of shares of Sun common stock for which shareholders elect to receive cash is less than 20% of the outstanding shares of Sun common stock and the number of shares for which Sun shareholders elect to receive Omega common stock is less than 80% of the outstanding shares of Sun common stock, then:

  •  All shareholder elections will be honored; and
 
  •  Shareholders who do not make proper elections will have their shares allocated proportionally so that 80% of the total outstanding Sun common stock is converted into Omega common stock and the rest is converted into the right to receive cash.

      No fractional shares of Omega common stock will be issued. Any Sun shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Omega common stock will instead receive cash in an amount equal to the fraction of the share of the Omega common stock that the shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive multiplied by the average price per share of Omega common stock for a certain period prior to the closing of the merger.

Table of Contents

      The following examples illustrate the allocation rules described above. In all of these examples, assume that there are 7,000,000 shares of Sun common stock outstanding, which means that 5,600,000 Sun shares (or 80% of the total Sun shares outstanding in these examples) will be converted into the right to receive Omega common stock and 1,400,000 Sun shares (or 20% of the total Sun shares outstanding in these examples) will be converted into the right to receive cash equal to $23.25 per share.

EXAMPLE 1

 
Facts:

      Assume that a hypothetical Sun shareholder owns 10,000 shares of Sun common stock and elects to receive cash for all of these shares. Also assume that all Sun shareholders together elect to receive cash for 1,600,000 Sun shares and Omega common stock for 5,300,000 Sun shares, and that no valid elections are submitted for 100,000 Sun shares.

     Result:

      Under the allocation rules for the merger, only 20% of the total Sun shares outstanding, or 1,400,000 shares in this example, will be converted into the right to receive cash in the merger. However, in this example, all Sun shareholders together elected to receive cash for 1,600,000 Sun shares. Therefore, the 100,000 Sun shares for which no valid elections were received will be converted into Omega common stock and all elections for cash will be reduced in accordance with the merger allocation rules described above. Our hypothetical Sun shareholder who elected to receive cash for 10,000 Sun shares will be entitled to receive cash for 8,750 Sun shares (1,400,000/1,600,000 x 10,000 shares) and Omega common stock for the remaining 1,250 Sun shares. This means that our hypothetical Sun shareholder will be entitled to receive $203,437.50 in cash (8,750 Sun shares multiplied by $23.25 per share) and 830 shares of Omega common stock (1,250 Sun shares multiplied by 0.664 conversion ratio).

EXAMPLE 2

     Facts:

      Assume that a hypothetical Sun shareholder owns 10,000 shares of Sun common stock and elects to receive Omega common stock for all of these shares. Also assume that all Sun shareholders together elect to receive Omega common stock for 5,700,000 Sun shares and cash for 1,100,000 Sun shares, and that no valid elections are submitted for 200,000 Sun shares.

 
Result:

      Under the allocation rules for the merger, only 80% of the total Sun shares outstanding, or 5,600,000 shares in this example, will be converted into Omega common stock in the merger. However, in this example, all Sun shareholders together elected to receive Omega common stock for 5,700,000 Sun shares. Therefore, the 200,000 Sun shares for which no valid elections were received will be converted into the right to receive cash and all elections for Omega common stock will be reduced in accordance with the merger allocation rules described above. Our hypothetical Sun shareholder who elected to receive Omega common stock for 10,000 Sun shares will be entitled to receive Omega common stock for 9,824.56 Sun shares (5,600,000/5,700,000 x 10,000 shares) and cash for the remaining 175.44 Sun shares. This means that, after adjusting for fractional shares for which Sun shareholders may only receive cash, our hypothetical Sun shareholder will be entitled to receive 6,523 shares of Omega common stock (9,824.56 Sun shares multiplied by 0.664 conversion ratio, with the result rounded down to the nearest whole share) and $4,096.76 in cash (175.44 Sun shares multiplied by $23.25 per share, plus .5078 fractional shares of Omega common stock resulting from the conversion of Sun shares into Omega shares, multiplied by the proportional value of Omega shares of $35.01 per share, with the result rounded down to the nearest whole cent).

Table of Contents

EXAMPLE 3

 
Facts:

      Assume that a hypothetical Sun shareholder owns 10,000 shares of Sun common stock and does not submit a valid election for any of these shares. Also assume that all Sun shareholders together elect to receive Omega common stock for 5,500,000 Sun shares and cash for 1,200,000 Sun shares, and that no valid elections are submitted for 300,000 Sun shares (including the 10,000 Sun shares owned by our hypothetical Sun shareholder).

     Result:

      Under the allocation rules for the merger, 80% of the total Sun shares outstanding, or 5,600,000 shares in this example, will be converted into Omega common stock in the merger and 20% of the total Sun shares outstanding, or 1,400,000 shares in this example, will be converted into the right to receive cash in the merger. In this example, all Sun shareholders together elected to receive Omega common stock for 5,500,000 Sun shares, which is less than 80% of the total Sun shares outstanding, and cash for 1,200,000 Sun shares, which is less than 20% of the total Sun shares outstanding. Therefore, all Sun shareholders who submitted elections will be entitled to receive the amount of cash and/or Omega common stock that they elected (except for cash in lieu of fractional shares), and the 300,000 Sun shares for which no valid elections were received will be allocated so that 80% of the total Sun shares outstanding will be converted into Omega common stock and 20% of the total Sun shares outstanding will be converted into the right to receive cash. Our hypothetical Sun shareholder owning 10,000 Sun shares who did not submit a valid election will be entitled to receive cash for 6,666.6667 shares (200,000/300,000 x 10,000 shares), and Omega common stock for the remaining 3,333.3333 Sun shares. This means that, after adjusting for fractional shares for which Sun shareholders may only receive cash, our hypothetical Sun shareholder will be entitled to receive 2,213 shares of Omega common stock (3,333.3333 Sun shares multiplied by 0.664 conversion ratio, with the result rounded down to the nearest whole share) and $155,011.67 in cash (6,666.6667 Sun shares multiplied by $23.25 per share, plus .3333 fractional shares of Omega common stock resulting from the conversion of Sun shares into Omega shares, multiplied by the proportional value of Omega shares of $35.01 per share, with the result rounded down to the nearest whole cent).

      Sun shareholders will receive an election form under separate cover. Sun shareholders should complete and return the election form so that it is received prior to September 8, 2004. If a Sun shareholder does not properly complete and return an election form along with the applicable stock certificates, a guarantee of delivery for the shares of Sun common stock covered by the election form or a completed lost or destroyed certificate affidavit and premium for an indemnity bond as described in the election form by September 8, 2004, then that shareholder will receive cash and Omega common stock as set forth above, depending upon the elections submitted by other Sun shareholders.

 
Omega will finance certain of its obligations under the merger agreement.

      Omega is currently negotiating with certain lenders to borrow approximately $42 million in connection with financing its obligations pursuant to the merger agreement. Omega’s ability to borrow such funds is not a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Please refer to Item (I) in the “Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” on page 73 for additional information regarding the financing of Omega’s obligations.

 
The aggregate value of merger consideration may fluctuate.

      The aggregate value of the merger consideration will be $159,506,237 based on the price of Omega stock on July 19, 2004 of $30.23 per share. The actual aggregate merger consideration may be different depending upon the market value of Omega stock on the date of the merger.

Treatment of Sun Stock Options

      Under the merger agreement, each outstanding option to purchase Sun common stock issued under the following plans will be converted into an option to purchase Omega common stock: Sun’s 1998 Stock Incentive Plan or 1998 Independent Directors Stock Option Plan, or Sentry Trust Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan or 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (which were assumed by Sun in connection with its acquisition of Sentry Trust Company). Upon the completion of the merger, each Sun stock option will automatically adjust to provide that:

  •  the number of shares of Omega common stock which may be acquired upon exercise of the stock option shall equal 0.664 shares of Omega common stock multiplied by the number of shares of Sun common stock for which the option could be exercised immediately prior to the merger (except that any fractional share of Omega common stock resulting from this calculation shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share);
 
  •  the exercise price per share of Omega common stock issuable upon exercise of the stock option will equal the exercise price of the corresponding Sun option immediately prior to the merger, divided by 0.664 rounded down to the nearest whole cent;

 
Immediately after the merger, Sun shareholders will own approximately 32.4% of the outstanding Omega stock.

      Omega will issue shares of Omega common stock to Sun shareholders. Based upon the number of shares of Omega common stock issued and outstanding on the Omega record date and the number of shares of Omega common stock anticipated to be issued in the merger, the shares of Omega common stock issued to Sun shareholders in the merger will constitute 32.4% of the outstanding common stock of Omega after the merger. In addition, we anticipate that Omega will issue options to purchase up to 310,919 shares of Omega common stock in exchange for outstanding options to purchase Sun common stock. Assuming the exercise of all of these Omega stock options after the merger, Sun shareholders will own approximately 35.1% of the fully diluted common stock of Omega.

 
Representations and Warranties

      The merger agreement contains statements and promises made by Sun about itself called representations and warranties. In addition, the merger agreement contains representations and warranties made by Omega. You can review the representations and warranties contained in Articles 3 and 4 of the merger agreement attached to this joint proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex A.

 
Conduct of Business Pending the Merger

      The merger agreement contains covenants and agreements that govern the actions of Sun and Omega until the merger or termination of the merger agreement. These covenants and agreements require the companies to take actions or to refrain from taking actions with respect to various matters including that:

  •  Sun will cooperate with Omega to obtain the approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and any other governmental or regulatory consents or approvals necessary to consummate the merger;
 
  •  Sun and its subsidiaries will operate their respective businesses only in the usual, regular, and ordinary course;
 
  •  Omega will file any and all applications with the appropriate government regulatory authorities in order to obtain the necessary governmental approvals to consummate the merger;
 
  •  Omega and its subsidiaries will continue to conduct their businesses in the ordinary course and consistent with past practices.

      To review all of the covenants and agreements contained in the merger agreement, you should read Articles 5 and 6 of the merger agreement which is attached to this joint proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex A.

 
Non-Solicitation

      In the merger agreement, Sun and its subsidiaries agreed that they would not directly or indirectly initiate, solicit or encourage any inquiries or proposals from any third party, other than Omega, concerning any:

  •  sale of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Sun common stock;
 
  •  merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction; or
 
  •  the sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of 25% or more of the assets of Sun.

      Sun and its subsidiaries also agreed that they would not participate in any discussions or negotiations with any third party or provide any confidential information to any third party that may reasonably be expected to solicit an acquisition proposal. However, Sun is permitted to act on a bona fide unsolicited proposal in the exercise of the fiduciary duties of Sun’s board of directors prior to obtaining approval for the merger from Sun’s shareholders if the proposal relates to a transaction which is more favorable to Sun shareholders from a financial point of view and if certain procedural requirements described in the merger agreement are met.

 
Indemnification and Insurance

      In the merger agreement, Omega agreed to continue to indemnify officers, directors, and employees of Sun and its subsidiaries from the date that the merger is completed. Subject to a number of limitations, Omega also agreed that it will, for a period of six years after the date the merger is completed, provide to the persons who served as directors or officers of Sun or any subsidiary of Sun on or before the date the merger was completed, insurance against liabilities and claims (and related expenses) made against them resulting from their service as directors or officers of Sun or any subsidiary of Sun prior to the date the merger was completed. This insurance is required to be substantially similar in all material respects to the insurance coverage provided to them prior to the consummation of the merger. To review all of the limitations related to the provision of insurance coverage, you should read Section 6.5 of the merger agreement attached to this joint proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex A.

 
Conditions to the Merger

      The completion of the merger depends upon the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including:

  •  the shareholders of Sun and Omega approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated;
 
  •  no claim, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding is pending that presents a substantial risk of the restraint or prohibition of the merger;
 
  •  the parties shall have received all governmental approvals and other consents necessary for the merger;
 
  •  Sun and Omega perform all material acts that are required to be performed by them under the merger agreement;
 
  •  the representations and warranties of Sun and Omega contained in the merger agreement are true and correct as of the closing date of the merger;

47


Table of Contents

  •  neither Sun nor any of its subsidiaries enter into any agreement to merge or consolidate with, or sell its shares or assets to, a third party, or adopt a “poison pill” or other type of anti-takeover arrangement that would materially decrease the value of Sun or any of its subsidiaries; and
 
  •  at closing, Omega and Sun will each receive an opinion of its legal counsel that the merger will constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

      To review all of the conditions contained in the merger agreement, you should read Article 7 of the merger agreement which is attached to this joint proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex A.

 
Closing Date and Effective Time

      The closing of the merger will take place at 10:00 a.m. on the eighth business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing stated in the merger agreement at Omega’s corporate offices in State College, Pennsylvania unless Omega and Sun agree in writing to another date, time or place. Contemporaneously with the closing of the merger, the parties will file articles of merger with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The merger will take effect at the time this filing is made with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

 
Termination of the Merger Agreement

      At any time before the closing of the merger, whether or not the merger agreement has been approved by Omega’s or Sun’s shareholders, Sun or Omega may terminate the merger agreement by the mutual consent in writing of the parties or by written notice from either party to the other party if:

  •  the closing has not occurred by December 31, 2004, unless the party seeking termination failed to perform its obligations under the merger agreement in a timely manner;
 
  •  any governmental approval necessary for the consummation of the merger is denied or if the governmental approval includes a condition that is not routinely included for similar approvals which would materially affect the benefits normally expected from the transactions contemplated in the merger agreement (provided, however, that the term of the merger agreement may be extended for 90 days to appeal and overturn the denial of the approval or the imposition of an unsatisfactory condition, as long as written notice of the intent to appeal and the appeal has been made within 20 business days after receiving notice from the applicable governmental body that the approval has been denied);
 
  •  the Sun shareholders do not approve the merger agreement at the Sun shareholders meeting;
 
  •  the Omega shareholders do not approve the merger agreement at the Omega shareholders meeting;
 
  •  the other party or its subsidiaries materially breaches any of its obligations or covenants and the breach is not remedied within the time periods set forth in the merger agreement; or
 
  •  Sun’s board of directors withdraws or modifies in a manner adverse to Omega, the board of directors’ approval or recommendation of the merger or merger agreement.

      Further, the merger agreement may be terminated by Omega by written notice to Sun if Sun or any of its subsidiaries enters into:

  •  a term sheet, letter of intent, agreement or similar type agreement with a view to being acquired by or effecting a business combination with any other person;
 
  •  an agreement to merge, consolidate, combine or sell a material portion of its assets or to be acquired in any manner by any other person;
 
  •  an agreement to acquire a material amount of assets or a material equity position in any other person, whether financial or otherwise; or

48


Table of Contents

  •  a formal agreement, letter of understanding, memorandum or similar arrangement with any bank regulatory authority establishing a formal capital plan requiring Sun or any of its subsidiaries to raise additional capital or to sell a substantial portion of its assets.

      Finally, Sun may terminate the merger agreement upon written notice to Omega if the average closing sales price of Omega common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending two trading days preceding the closing date is less than $28.32 and the difference between these values is more than 20% of the amount by which the closing value of the Nasdaq Bank Index for the trading day ending two days prior to the closing date exceeds 2,807.12.

 
Termination Fees and Expenses

      The merger agreement requires Sun to pay a cash termination fee of $8,000,000 to Omega in the event that the merger agreement is terminated for any of the following reasons:

  •  Sun or one of its subsidiaries enters into any term sheet, letter of intent, agreement or similar type agreement with a view to being acquired by or effecting a business combination with any other person;
 
  •  Sun or one of its subsidiaries enters into an agreement to merge, consolidate, combine or sell a material portion of is assets;
 
  •  Sun or one of its subsidiaries enters into an agreement to acquire in any manner a material amount of assets or a material equity position in any other person, whether financial or otherwise; or
 
  •  Sun’s board of directors withdraws, or modifies in a manner adverse to Omega, the board of directors’ approval or recommendation of the merger or merger agreement.

      Furthermore, Sun shall pay Omega a cash termination fee equal to $8,000,000 if the merger agreement is terminated because Sun’s shareholders fail to approve the merger agreement at the Sun shareholder meeting, and within 120 days after the meeting, Sun or any subsidiary of Sun enters into an agreement, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or similar arrangement with anyone other than Omega to engage in any of the following types of transactions:

  •  the acquisition by any third party of beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Sun’s common stock or the right to vote 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of Sun or any subsidiary of Sun;
 
  •  a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or any other similar transaction involving Sun or any subsidiary of Sun; or
 
  •  any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of 50% or more of the assets or earning power of Sun or any subsidiary of Sun, in a single transaction or series of transactions.

      In addition, Sun must pay Omega an amount equal to Omega’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the merger agreement if Omega terminates the merger agreement because Sun’s shareholders fail to approve the merger agreement at the Sun shareholder meeting or because Sun materially breaches any of its obligations, covenants, representations or warranties under the merger agreement and fails to cure the breach within five days after receipt of written notice from Omega. Likewise, Omega must pay Sun an amount equal to Sun’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the merger agreement if Sun terminates the merger agreement because Omega’s shareholders fail to approve the merger agreement at the Omega shareholder meeting or because Omega materially breaches any of its obligations, covenants, representations or warranties under the merger agreement and fails to cure the breach within five days after receipt of written notice from Sun. However, neither Omega nor Sun will be required to pay any expenses of the other party if its own shareholders also failed to approve the merger agreement at its shareholders meeting.

Procedures for Sun Shareholders to Receive Payment

      Omega has designated Registrar and Transfer Company to act as the “exchange agent” under the merger agreement. Within three business days after the merger is completed, the exchange agent will issue to Sun shareholders who have returned their election forms together with Sun stock certificates, or proof of lost or destroyed certificate and premium for an indemnity bond, the cash and/or Omega common stock to which each shareholder is entitled. Within five business days after the merger is completed, the exchange agent will send to Sun shareholders who have not previously sent in their stock certificates and election forms, a letter of transmittal and instructions for exchanging their stock certificates. Omega shall also make appropriate provisions with the exchange agent to enable Sun shareholders to obtain the letter of transmittal, and instructions for exchanging their stock certificates from, and to deliver the certificates formerly representing shares of Sun common stock to, the exchange agent in person, commencing on or not later than the second business day following the completion of the merger. Within five business days after receiving a Sun shareholder’s stock certificate(s) together with a completed letter of transmittal, the exchange agent will issue the cash and/or Omega common stock to which that shareholder is entitled.

      Until surrendered to the exchange agent, each outstanding Sun stock certificate will be deemed to evidence the right to receive the cash and/or the number of shares of Omega common stock into which the shares of Sun common stock have been converted in accordance with the merger agreement. The cash and/or shares of Omega common stock shall not be paid to the record holder of any Sun common stock until the certificate(s) for that common stock is sent to the exchange agent. A Sun shareholder whose certificate(s) have been lost or destroyed may nevertheless receive cash and/or shares of Omega common stock to which that Sun shareholder is entitled, provided that the Sun shareholder first delivers to the exchange agent his or her election form indicating that his or her stock certificate(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed. In addition, the Sun shareholder will have to sign an affidavit, which will be included in the election form that provides, among other things, that the Sun shareholder agrees to indemnify Omega for any loss Omega may incur as a result of the Sun shareholder’s lost or destroyed stock certificate. The Sun shareholder will also be required to provide the premium for an indemnity bond from an insurance company protecting Omega and the exchange agent from any damage which may result if someone presents the lost or destroyed certificate for payment.

 
Merger of Sun Bank and Omega Bank

      Omega and Sun currently expect that immediately after the completion of the merger, Sun Bank will be merged with and into Omega Bank, referred to as the bank merger. The name of the resulting institution will be Omega Bank, but Sun Bank will continue to operate under the name SunBank as a division of Omega Bank. The bank merger is subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. It is not a condition to the consummation of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

 
Regulatory Approvals Are Required to Complete the Merger and the Bank Merger

      The bank merger is subject to the prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, referred to as the OCC, and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. In addition, the merger requires notification to the Federal Reserve Board. We have filed the OCC and Pennsylvania Department of Banking applications and have delivered the appropriate notices to the Federal Reserve Board.

      We cannot assure you that we will obtain regulatory approval or when we will receive approval, and we cannot consummate the merger without regulatory approval. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that approval will not contain a condition or requirement that causes approval to fail to satisfy the conditions contained in the merger agreement. See “The Merger — Conditions to the Merger.” Likewise, we cannot assure you that the United States Department of Justice will not challenge the merger, or, if a challenge is made, as to the result.

Board of Directors and Management of Omega Upon Consummation of the Merger

      When the merger is complete, Omega will continue to be managed by its current directors and officers. Robert J. McCormack, who is currently Sun’s President and Chief Executive Officer, will become Executive Vice President and Chief Administration Officer of Omega; Thomas W. Bixler, who is currently Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of Sun, will become Senior Vice President — Head of Commercial Lending of Omega; and Sandra J. Miller, who is currently Executive Vice President and Chief Banking Officer of Sun, will become Senior Vice President, Head of Employee & Business Development of Omega. In addition, Omega’s board of directors shall appoint three directors of Sun, as mutually agreed by Sun and Omega, as directors of Omega. Each of these persons will be appointed to one of the three classes of directors of the Omega board of directors and will serve the remaining term for that class. The board of directors will recommend, subject to its fiduciary duties, the nomination of each of these persons for election by Omega’s shareholders for one additional term of three years after such person’s initial term expires. If one or more of these persons is unable or unwilling to serve as a member of Omega’s board of directors, such person shall be replaced by another person mutually selected by Omega and Sun who was a director of Sun immediately prior to the completion of the merger.

 
Board of Directors of Omega Bank Upon Consummation of the Bank Merger

      When the merger of Sun Bank with and into Omega Bank is completed, Omega Bank will continue to be managed by its current officers and directors. In addition, the board of directors of Omega Bank will appoint Robert J. McCormack and three other persons serving as directors of Sun Bank immediately prior to the bank merger, as mutually selected by Omega and Sun, to serve on Omega Bank’s board of directors until the next election of directors. Omega Bank’s board of directors shall recommend, subject to its fiduciary duties, the nomination of each of these persons as a director of Omega Bank for three additional terms of one year each after the person’s initial term expires. If one or more of these persons is unable or unwilling to serve as a member of Omega Bank’s board of directors, that person shall be replaced by another person who was a director of Sun Bank immediately prior to the completion of the merger, as mutually selected by Omega and the directors of Sun Bank immediately prior to the bank merger. The former Sun Bank directors elected to Omega Bank’s board of directors will be entitled to the same fees and benefits as other directors of Omega Bank, but no director of Omega Bank will be entitled to receive any directors fees while an employee of Omega Bank.

 
Sun Bank Advisory Board Appointees Upon Consummation of the Bank Merger

      Upon completion of the merger of Sun Bank into Omega Bank, for a period of two years after completion of the merger of Omega and Sun, Omega will offer the current directors of Sun Bank seats on a to-be-formed advisory board of Sun Bank which will address and deal with issues in the market area served by Sun Bank. For a period of one year after the merger of Omega and Sun, the members of the Sun Bank advisory board will receive board fees (excluding any stock option grants) for each meeting actually attended equal to the fees that were payable to the members of Sun Bank’s board of directors immediately prior to the completion of the merger of Omega and Sun. Omega shall have the right to appoint one or more representatives to seats on the Sun Bank advisory board, and/or to send one or more representatives to attend meetings of the advisory board.

 
Employment of Sun Employees

      After the completion of the merger, Omega will retain certain employees of Sun, subject to the workflow analysis of Omega’s combined business following the merger. Any employee of Sun on the date the merger becomes effective whose employment with Omega is terminated by Omega within six months after the completion of the merger, other than for “cause,” as defined in the merger agreement, and who is not otherwise entitled to a severance payment or contract assurance period, will be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to one week’s salary at then current rates for each full year of employment up to a maximum of twenty-six weeks.

Registration of Omega Common Stock and Listing on the NASDAQ National Market

      Omega will cause the shares of Omega common stock to be issued to Sun shareholders in the merger to be registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and listed on the NASDAQ National Market.

Voting Agreements

      On April 20, 2004, Sun’s directors and certain officers and one of its significant shareholders, FNB Corporation (collectively, the “voting shareholders”), entered into voting agreements with Omega under which each voting shareholder agreed to vote all of the shares of Sun common stock beneficially owned by them (collectively 1,815,352 shares, or approximately 23.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Sun common stock) in favor of the merger agreement and the merger.

      Each voting shareholder agreed that it would vote for the approval of the merger agreement and the merger at any meeting of the Sun shareholders held for that purpose. In addition, each voting shareholder agreed that it would vote against any action or proposal that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, or adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. If any voting shareholder does not vote as required by their voting agreement, the voting agreement provides that their vote will be considered null and void, and Omega will automatically and irrevocably be designated as agent and proxy to vote the voting shareholder’s Sun stock for the approval of the merger agreement and the merger.

      Each voting shareholder further agreed not to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer, by proxy or otherwise, the voting shareholder’s Sun stock or any voting rights with respect to their Sun stock or to deposit any of the Sun stock in a voting trust or subject any of their Sun stock to any arrangement for voting the stock in any manner inconsistent with the voting agreement.

Dissenters Rights for Omega Shareholders

      Under Pennsylvania law, holders of Omega common stock are not entitled to dissenters rights in connection with the merger.

Dissenters Rights for Sun Shareholders

      Under Pennsylvania law, holders of Sun common stock are not entitled to dissenters rights in connection with the merger.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences

      In the opinion of Blank Rome LLP, the following discussion summarizes the material federal income tax consequences of the merger of Sun with and into Omega, assuming that the merger is effected as described in the merger agreement and this proxy statement. This opinion and the following discussion are based on currently existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), existing Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change. Any such change, which may or may not be retroactive, could alter the tax consequences of the merger to the shareholders of Sun.

      This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to particular Sun shareholders in light of their individual circumstances or to Sun shareholders who are subject to special rules, such as:

  •  financial institutions and mutual funds;
 
  •  banks;
 
  •  insurance companies;
 
  •  investment companies;

52


Table of Contents

  •  retirement plans;
 
  •  tax-exempt organizations;
 
  •  dealers in securities;
 
  •  traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method;
 
  •  persons that hold their Sun common stock as part of a straddle, a hedge against a currency risk or a constructive sale or conversion transaction;
 
  •  persons that are or who hold their Sun common stock through partnerships or pass-through entities;
 
  •  persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States or who are foreign corporations, foreign partnerships or foreign estates or trusts;
 
  •  persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
 
  •  persons who hold Sun stock as qualified small business stock within the meaning of section 1202 of the Code;
 
  •  persons who are subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code; or
 
  •  persons who acquired their Sun common stock in connection with a stock option or stock purchase plans or in some other compensatory transaction.

      This discussion assumes that Sun’s shareholders hold their shares of Sun common stock as capital assets. In addition, the following discussion does not address the tax consequences of the merger under foreign, state or local tax laws. Furthermore, the discussion does not address the tax consequences of transactions effected before, after or at the same time as the merger, whether or not they are in connection with the merger, including, without limitation, transactions in which persons acquire Sun common stock or dispose of Omega shares. Sun shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, as well as the effects of state, local and non-U.S. tax laws and U.S. tax laws other than income tax laws.

      It is a condition to the closing under the merger agreement that Blank Rome LLP, counsel to Omega, and Shumaker Williams, P.C., counsel to Sun, each render a tax opinion to the effect that the merger will constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. This discussion is, and the opinions of counsel will be, subject to certain assumptions, limitations and qualifications, and are based upon the truth and accuracy of certain factual representations made by Omega and Sun and upon the condition that there is no adverse change in U.S. federal income tax law. This discussion and the tax opinions do not bind the Internal Revenue Service from adopting a contrary position, and it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may successfully assert a contrary position in litigation or other proceedings.

      Assuming that the merger constitutes a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences will result to Sun shareholders:

 
Sun Shareholders Who Receive Only Omega Common Stock.

  •  No Gain or Loss. Subject to the discussion below regarding cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Omega common stock, Sun shareholders receiving solely Omega common stock in the merger will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the receipt of Omega common stock in the merger.
 
  •  Tax Basis and Holding Period. A Sun shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in the Omega common stock, including any fractional shares deemed received, as discussed below, will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the Sun common stock surrendered in the exchange. A Sun shareholder’s holding period for the Omega common stock received will include the holding period for the Sun common stock surrendered in exchange.

53


Table of Contents

 
Sun Shareholders Who Receive Both Omega Common Stock and Cash.

  •  Gain or Loss. A Sun shareholder that exchanges Sun common stock for a combination of Omega common stock and cash in the merger will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the shares of Sun common stock in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of cash received in the merger for the shares of Sun common stock and (ii) the excess, if any, of (a) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of the Omega common stock received in the merger for the shares of Sun common stock over (b) the Sun shareholder’s tax basis in the Sun common stock surrendered in exchange therefor. The gain recognized will be capital gain unless the Sun shareholder’s receipt of cash has the effect of a distribution of a dividend, in which case the gain will be treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of the Sun shareholder’s ratable share of earnings and profits, as calculated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For purposes of determining whether a Sun shareholder’s receipt of cash has the effect of a distribution of a dividend, the Sun shareholder will be treated as if it first exchanged all of its Sun common stock solely in exchange for Omega common stock and then Omega immediately redeemed a portion of that stock for the cash that the holder actually received in the merger. Receipt of cash will generally not have the effect of a distribution of a dividend to the Sun shareholder if such receipt is, with respect to the Sun shareholder, “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” or “substantially disproportionate,” each within the meaning of Section 302(b) of the Code. The Internal Revenue Service has indicated in rulings that any reduction in the interest of a minority shareholder that owns a small number of shares in a publicly and widely held corporation and that exercises no control over corporate affairs would result in capital gain (as opposed to dividend) treatment. In determining the interest of a shareholder in a corporation, certain constructive ownership rules must be taken into account. Any capital gain will be long-term if the Sun shareholder’s holding period for its Sun common stock is more than one year as of the date of the exchange. Sun intends to report the transaction as a capital transaction and does not intend to report the cash paid to a holder as dividend income.
 
  •  Tax Basis and Holding Period. A Sun shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in the Omega common stock received in the merger will be equal to the shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in its Sun common stock surrendered, decreased by the amount of any cash received and increased by the amount of any gain recognized. A Sun shareholder’s holding period for Omega common stock received in the merger will include the holding period of the Sun common stock surrendered in the merger.

 
Sun Shareholders Who Receive Only Cash.

  •  Gain or Loss. A Sun shareholder receiving solely cash in the merger and who does not actually or constructively own any Omega common stock after the exchange will recognize capital gain or loss as a result of the merger in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the Sun shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares surrendered in exchange therefor. The gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder’s holding period is more than one year as of the date of the exchange.

 
Cash Payments Received in Lieu of Fractional Shares.

  •  Gain or Loss. Subject to the discussion above regarding possible dividend treatment, cash payments received by Sun shareholders in lieu of fractional shares of Omega common stock will be treated as if such fractional shares had been issued in the merger and then redeemed by Omega. A Sun shareholder receiving such cash will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon such payment, equal to the difference, if any, between such Sun shareholder’s tax basis in the fractional share and the amount of cash received. The capital gain or loss will be long-term if the holding period for such Sun common stock is more than one year as of the date of the exchange.

54

Tax Treatment of Sun and Omega.

  •  No Gain or Loss. No gain or loss will be recognized by Sun or Omega as a result of this merger.

      Other relevant tax considerations in connection with the merger include the following:

      In general, Sun shareholders receiving cash in the merger (other than solely for fractional shares) will be subject to information reporting to the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, backup withholding at the applicable rate (currently 28%) will generally apply if the exchanging Sun shareholder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or fails to properly certify that it is not subject to backup withholding (generally on a substitute IRS Form W-9). Certain holders (including, among others, non-U.S. holders and U.S. corporations) are not subject to information reporting or backup withholding, but they may still need to furnish a substitute IRS Form W-9 or W-8 or otherwise establish an exemption. Any amount withheld as backup withholding from payments to an exchanging Sun shareholder will be creditable against the Sun shareholder’s federal income tax liability, provided that it timely furnishes the required information to the Internal Revenue Service. Sun shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to their qualifications for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining an exemption.

      Sun shareholders receiving Omega common stock in the merger should file a statement with their United States federal income tax returns for the year in which the merger occurs setting forth the tax basis in the Sun common stock exchanged in the merger and the fair market value of the Omega common stock and the amount of cash, if any, received in the merger.

      No ruling from the Internal Revenue Service has been or will be requested in connection with the merger. In addition, shareholders of Sun should be aware that the opinions of counsel discussed in this section are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service. Moreover, the Internal Revenue Service could adopt a contrary position which could be sustained by a court.

      The preceding discussion is intended only as a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger and does not purport to be a complete analysis or discussion of all potential tax effects relevant thereto. Thus, Sun shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them of the merger, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability and effect of foreign, federal, state, local and other applicable tax laws and the effect of any proposed changes in the tax laws.

Accounting Treatment

      The merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Sun will be recorded on the books of the combined consolidated Omega entity at their fair values at the date the merger is completed. Any excess of the value of the consideration paid by Omega at the date the merger is completed over the fair value of the identifiable assets of Sun will be treated as goodwill and will be tested for impairment at least annually. See “Selected Pro Forma Combined Financial Information.”

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

      When you consider the recommendation of Sun’s board of directors, you should be aware that Sun’s directors and executive officers may have financial interests in the merger that are different than or in addition to their interests as Sun shareholders generally. The Sun board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them when it approved the merger agreement. These interests are summarized below:

Interests of Certain Executives

      In connection with the merger, Omega entered into Severance Agreements with Robert J. McCormack, Thomas W. Bixler and Sandra J. Miller.

55


Table of Contents

      Mr. McCormack will be employed as Omega’s Executive Vice President & Chief Administration Officer. His employment with Omega will become effective upon completion of the merger and will continue until October 30, 2005, unless renewed or terminated earlier.

      During the term of his severance agreement, Mr. McCormack is entitled to certain compensation and benefits if his employment is terminated for any of the following reasons:

  •  Omega terminates Mr. McCormack’s employment without “cause”;
 
  •  Mr. McCormack terminates his employment with Omega for any reason within twelve months of the effective date of the severance agreement;
 
  •  Mr. McCormack terminates his employment within three years following a “change in control” of Omega;
 
  •  Mr. McCormack terminates his employment following a material reduction in the nature and scope of his authority, duties, and responsibilities, salary, benefits, position, or title; or
 
  •  Mr. McCormack terminates his employment after his principal place of employment is moved to a location that is more than ninety miles from his principal residence as of the date of the severance agreement.

      If Mr. McCormack terminates his employment for any reason within twelve months of the effective date of the severance agreement, he will receive a lump sum severance payment in the amount of $250,000 and he will not receive any additional benefits. If Mr. McCormack’s employment is terminated as a result of any of the other reasons set forth above, he will be entitled to the following compensation and benefits:

  •  continued annual compensation for a period of three years following termination;
 
  •  continued medical, hospitalization, and life insurance benefits for a period of three years or until he receives such benefits as a result of acceptance of subsequent employment; and
 
  •  unless paid by a subsequent employer, for a period of one year following the termination, Mr. McCormack will receive reimbursement of certain relocation expenses incurred in connection with securing new employment.

      Under the severance agreement, the term “cause” means termination of Mr. McCormack’s employment with Omega for one or more of certain reasons, including conviction for any felony, fraud, or embezzlement; failure to comply with the written policies or directives of Omega’s board of directors; or misconduct in the performance of his duties and Mr. McCormack fails to cure the misconduct.

      Under Mr. McCormack’s current employment agreement with Sun, he would have been able to collect a lump sum equal to 3 times his annual base salary plus a continuation of his current benefits for 3 years or until he secured substantially similar benefits through other employment if he resigned or were involuntarily terminated within 180 days of a change in control. Pursuant to the severance agreement with Omega, after the merger, Mr. McCormack may receive severance if Omega terminates his employment other than for “cause.” However, the severance is payable over a period of years rather than in one lump sum.

      Mr. Bixler will be employed as Omega’s Senior Vice President — Head of Commercial Lending. His employment with Omega will become effective upon completion of the merger and will continue until October 1, 2006, unless renewed or terminated earlier.

      During the term of his severance agreement, Mr. Bixler is entitled to certain compensation and benefits if his employment is terminated for any of the following reasons:

  •  Omega terminates Mr. Bixler’s employment without “cause”;
 
  •  Mr. Bixler terminates his employment within two years following a “change in control” of Omega;

56


Table of Contents

  •  Mr. Bixler terminates his employment following a material reduction in the nature and scope of his authority, duties, and responsibilities, salary, benefits, position, or title; or
 
  •  Mr. Bixler terminates his employment after his principal place of employment is moved to a location that is more than ninety miles from his principal residence as of the date of the severance agreement.

      If Mr. Bixler’s employment is terminated as a result of any of the reasons set forth above, he will be entitled to the following compensation and benefits:

  •  annual compensation for three years in a per annum amount equal to the amount of his highest annual compensation during the two years immediately preceding the termination;
 
  •  a continuation of medical, hospitalization, and life insurance benefits for a period of three years or until he receives such benefits as a result of acceptance of subsequent employment; and
 
  •  unless paid by a subsequent employer, for a period of one year following the termination, Mr. Bixler will receive reimbursement of certain relocation expenses incurred in connection with securing new employment.

      Under the severance agreement, the term “cause” means termination of Mr. Bixler’s employment with Omega for one or more of certain reasons, including conviction for any felony, fraud or embezzlement; failure to comply with the written policies or directives of Omega’s board of directors; or misconduct in the performance of his duties and Mr. Bixler fails to cure the misconduct.

      Under Mr. Bixler’s current employment agreement with Sun, if he were involuntarily terminated within 12 months of a change in control, he would have been able to collect a lump sum equal to two times his annual base salary plus a continuation of his then-current benefits for two years or until he secured substantially similar benefits through other employment. Pursuant to his severance agreement with Omega, Mr. Bixler may receive severance if his employment terminates after the merger with Omega and prior to October 1, 2006, unless the term of the severance agreement is extended. However, the severance is payable over a period of years rather than in one lump sum.

      Ms. Miller will be employed as Omega’s Senior Vice President, Head of Employee & Business Development. Her employment with Omega will become effective upon completion of the merger and will continue until October 1, 2006, unless renewed or terminated earlier.

      During the term of her severance agreement, Ms. Miller is entitled to certain compensation and benefits if her employment is terminated for any of the following reasons:

  •  Omega terminates Ms. Miller’s employment without “cause”;
 
  •  Ms. Miller terminates her employment within two years following a “change in control” of Omega;
 
  •  Ms. Miller terminates her employment following a material reduction in the nature and scope of her authority, duties and responsibilities, salary, benefits, position or title; or
 
  •  Ms. Miller terminates her employment after her principal place of employment is moved to a location that is more than ninety miles from her principal residence as of the date of the severance agreement.

      If Ms. Miller’s employment is terminated as a result of any of the reasons set forth above, she will be entitled to the following compensation and benefits:

  •  annual compensation for three years in a per annum amount equal to the amount of her highest annual compensation during the three years immediately preceding the termination;
 
  •  a continuation of medical, hospitalization, and life insurance benefits for a period of three years or until she receives such benefits as a result of acceptance of subsequent employment; and

However, the severance is payable over a period of years rather than in one lump sum.

      A number of Sun’s other executive officers also have employment or change in control agreements with Sun which provide for severance payments and benefits upon termination of employment following a change in control of Sun. For example, five executives of Sun are parties to change of control agreements pursuant to which they are entitled to lump sum payments ranging from one to two years of the executive’s annual base pay plus a continuation of benefits for two years if their employment is involuntarily terminated for a specified period following the merger. Additionally, eight executives of Sun are parties to employment agreements that provide for lump sum payments equal to the executive’s annual base salary plus a continuation of benefits for two years if their employment is involuntarily terminated for a specified period following the merger. Finally, two executives of Sun are parties to employment agreements that provide for a lump sum payment equal the executive’s salary for the remainder of the term of the employment agreements.

Interests of Certain Directors

      Following the merger of Omega and Sun, three individuals who were directors of Sun immediately prior to the merger will become directors of Omega. In addition, upon the merger of Sun Bank with and into Omega Bank, Robert J. McCormack and three other individuals who were directors of Sun Bank immediately prior to the bank merger will become directors of Omega Bank.

      In connection with the bank merger, Omega Bank will create an advisory board to the Sun Bank division of Omega Bank. Each individual who served as a director of Sun Bank immediately prior to the bank merger will be offered a position on the advisory board. For a period of one-year following the bank merger, members of the advisory board will receive director compensation equal to the compensation that they would have received as directors of Sun Bank.

DESCRIPTION OF OMEGA CAPITAL STOCK

General

      Omega’s current authorized capital stock consists of twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, and five million (5,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $5.00 per share. The preferred stock of Omega may be issued in one or more series, each with such terms, for such consideration and at such times as Omega’s board of directors determines. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/ prospectus, no shares of Omega’s preferred stock were outstanding. As of July 19, 2004, 8,440,460 shares of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, were outstanding.

      The following summary of the terms of the capital stock of Omega is not intended to be complete and is subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, or PBCL, and is qualified by reference to Omega’s articles of incorporation and bylaws. To obtain copies of these documents, see “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 20.

Common Stock

      The outstanding shares of Omega common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. Except for certain restrictions (summarized below) on the right to cast more than 10% of the total votes, holders of Omega common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of

62


Table of Contents

the shareholders. Holders of Omega common stock do not have pre-emptive rights and are not entitled to cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors. Omega common stock is neither redeemable nor convertible into other securities, and there are no sinking fund provisions. No shareholder of Omega may own more than 10% of the issued and outstanding common stock unless specifically approved by the board of directors.

      Subject to the preferential rights of any other shares or series of capital stock, holders of shares of Omega common stock are entitled to receive dividends on shares of common stock if, as and when authorized and declared by the Omega board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends and to share ratably in the assets of Omega legally available for distribution to its shareholders in the event of its liquidation, dissolution or winding-up after payment of, or adequate provision for, all known debts and liabilities of Omega.

      Unless a larger vote is required by law, the Omega articles of incorporation or bylaws, when a quorum is present at a meeting of shareholders, a majority of the votes properly cast upon any question (other than the election of directors) shall decide the question. A director is elected when a plurality of the votes are properly cast for the election for such person.

      All shares of Omega common stock have equal rights, including dividend, distribution and liquidation rights. Shares of Omega common stock do not have any preference, appraisal or exchange rights.

Preferred Stock

      The Omega board of directors is authorized, without further vote or action by the Omega shareholders, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish the number of shares in each series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of each series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the series, in each case, if any, as Pennsylvania law permits. Because the board of directors has the power to establish the preferences and rights of each class or series of preferred stock, it may afford the shareholders of any series or class of preferred stock preferences, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders of shares of Omega common stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Omega.

Registrar and Transfer Agent

      Omega’s registrar and transfer agent is Registrar and Transfer Company, Cranford, New Jersey.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

      The Omega articles of incorporation prohibit a shareholder or group of shareholders from holding more than 10% of the issued and outstanding common stock or other voting securities of Omega without approval from Omega’s board of directors. If a shareholder holds more than 10% of such securities, the board of directors may take appropriate action, including terminating all voting rights attributable to such securities, forcing the divestiture of those securities that are in excess of the 10% limit and seeking injunctive relief. This provision may discourage a person or entity from attempting to acquire control of Omega.

COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER’S RIGHTS

      The rights of Omega shareholders are currently governed by the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, referred to as the PBCL, and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Omega. The rights of Sun shareholders are currently governed by the PBCL and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Sun. If the merger is completed, certain Sun shareholders will, upon completion of the merger, become shareholders of Omega, and their rights as such will be governed by the PBCL and Omega’s articles of incorporation and bylaws. The material differences between the rights of holders of Omega common stock and the rights of holders of Sun common stock are summarized below.

Table of Contents

      The following summary does not purport to be a complete statement of the rights of holders of Omega common stock under applicable Pennsylvania law or Omega’s articles of incorporation and bylaws or the rights of the holders of Sun common stock under applicable Pennsylvania law or Sun’s articles of incorporation and bylaws. This summary contains a list of the material differences between the rights of Omega shareholders and the rights of Sun shareholders but is not meant to be relied upon as an exhaustive list or a detailed description of the provisions discussed and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the PBCL and the governing corporate instruments of Omega and Sun. Copies of such governing corporate instruments of Omega and Sun are available, without charge, to any person, including any beneficial owner to whom this joint proxy statement/ prospectus is delivered, by following the instructions listed under “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 20.

Summary of Material Differences Between

the Rights of Omega Shareholders and the Rights of Sun Shareholders
         
Omega Shareholder Rights Sun Shareholder Rights


Restriction on Ownership
  No shareholder or group of shareholders may hold more than 10% of the issued and outstanding common stock or other voting securities of Omega without approval from Omega’s board of directors.   Sun does not restrict the number of shares of Sun that any shareholder or group of shareholders may hold.
Voting Rights
  No shareholders or groups of shareholders may cast (or execute written consent with respect to) more than 10% of the total votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast at a meeting, unless authorized to do so by the board of directors and subject to such conditions as the board of directors may impose. The casting of votes by a person as a proxy holder for other shareholders is not counted in computing the 10% limitation to the extent that the proxies so voted were revocable and were secured from other shareholders who are not members of a group which includes such person. The board of directors’ determination of the existence or membership of a group, and of the number of votes any person or each member of a group is entitled to cast, is final and conclusive absent clear and convincing evidence of bad faith.   Sun does not restrict the number of shares of Sun that any shareholder or group of shareholders may vote.

Omega Shareholder Rights Sun Shareholder Rights


Shareholder Approval of Fundamental Change
  The PBCL provides that a merger or consolidation must be approved by the board of directors and a majority of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the merger.   The merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of Sun or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Sun must be approved by at least 75% of the outstanding shares of Sun’s common stock. This provision of Sun’s articles cannot be amended without the approval of 75% of the outstanding shares of Sun’s common stock.
Election of Directors
  Directors must be shareholders of Omega. No person may be elected to a position as director if such person is 70 years old or will be 70 by December 31 of the year nominated. Additionally, any director who turns 70 will cease to be a director on December 31 of the year in which the director turns 70.   Directors must own at least 150 shares of Sun stock. There is no age limit for directors of Sun.
Vacancies on the Board of Directors
  Directors elected to fill a vacancy serve the remainder of the term of the class to which the director is elected.   Directors elected to fill a vacancy serve until the next annual meeting of the shareholders, except that if the vacancy occurs after the distribution of proxy materials related to that annual meeting, then the director will serve until the following annual meeting.
Amendment to Articles of Incorporation
  Any amendments proposed by shareholders that are not approved by the board of directors require the approval of 75% of the outstanding shares of Omega’s common stock in addition to any other approval required by law.   The board of directors may amend the articles, subject to the right of the shareholders to alter such amendment upon the affirmative vote of 75% of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors. The board of directors may amend an action of the shareholders unless the action was approved by 75% of the outstanding shares of Sun’s common stock and the action expressly prohibits the board of directors from altering it.

OMEGA FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Note 1  — Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information related to the merger is included for the year ended December 31, 2003 and as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The pro forma adjustments included herein reflect the conversion of Sun common stock into Omega common stock using an exchange ratio of 0.664 of a share of Omega common stock for 80% of the outstanding shares on March 31, 2004 and the cash payment of $35.687 million ($23.25 per share) for 20% of the outstanding shares on March 31, 2004. The estimated purchase price of $189.019 million, is based on a per share price for Omega common stock of $34.52, which was the average of the closing prices of Omega common stock for the period commencing two trading days before, and ending two trading days after April 20, 2004, the date of the merger agreement.

      The merger will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting; accordingly, Omega’s cost to acquire Sun will be allocated to the assets acquired (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities assumed of Sun at their respective fair values on the date the merger is completed.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes estimated adjustments to record the assets and liabilities of Sun at their respective fair values and represents management’s estimates based on available information. The pro forma adjustments included herein may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the merger is completed and after completion of a final analysis to determine the fair values of Sun’s tangible, and identifiable intangible, assets and liabilities as of the closing date. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments and integration charges may be materially different from the pro forma adjustments presented in this document. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the net assets, commitments, contracts and other items of Sun as compared to the information shown in this document may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the statement of income due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented in this document does not necessarily indicate the results of operations or the combined financial position that would have resulted had the merger been completed at the beginning of the applicable period presented, nor is it indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined company.

 
Note 2  — Pro Forma Adjustments

      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the merger includes the pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 assuming the merger was completed on March 31, 2004. The pro forma income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003 were prepared assuming the merger was completed on January 1, 2003.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the issuance of 4,076,714 shares of Omega common stock with an aggregate value of $140,728,000 and the conversion of approximately 309,000 Sun stock options with a value of approximately $3,276,000 at March 31, 2004. Common stock used in the exchange was valued as discussed in Note 1 above.

      Substantially all of the Sun stock options are vested and will be converted into Omega stock options. The fair value of the Omega options that will be issued in exchange for the Sun options was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price and volatility that when changed can materially affect fair value estimates. Accordingly, the model does not necessarily provide for a reliable single measure of the

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED

COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION — (Continued)

fair value of employee stock options. The more significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Omega stock options to be issued in the exchange for Sun stock options include a risk-free interest rate of 3.63%, a weighted average expected life of six years and volatility of 34.6%. The six-year term was based on the weighted average expected term to expiration of these options.

      The allocation of the purchase price follows:

                 
Cash, assuming 20% of Sun shares paid at $23.25 per share
  $ 35,687,000  
Value of Sun shares converted at an exchange ratio of 0.664 for 1

        (A) Represents the net increase in cash after incurring debt to finance the acquisition in the amount of $42,000,000 (See Note I) and making payment for 20% of Sun’s shares outstanding at $23.25 per share.
 
        (B) Represents the adjustment related to Omega’s ownership of 4,388 shares of Sun common stock.
 
        (C) Adjustment to fair value of the loan and lease portfolio. The adjustment will be recognized over the estimated remaining life of the loan and lease portfolio. The impact of the adjustment was to increase interest income by approximately $88,000 and $352,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, respectively.
 
        (D) Adjustment to write off historical Sun intangible assets (other than goodwill) and to record intangible assets (other than goodwill) resulting from the merger based on estimated fair values. Management is studying the nature, amount and amortization method of various possible identified

  intangibles. The adjustments reflected herein are based on current assumptions and valuations, which are subject to change. For purposes of the pro forma adjustments shown here, we have estimated $21,675,000 of intangibles that consists of a core deposit intangible of $17,762,000, a customer relationship intangible of $3,766,000 and a trade name intangible of $147,000. We estimate these intangibles will be amortized over a period not to exceed ten years, on an accelerated basis for the core deposit intangible and a straight-line basis for the other intangibles. The value of the intangibles represents the estimated future economic benefit resulting from the acquired customer balances and relationships. This value was estimated by considering the timing and levels of cash flows from the current balances of accounts, expected growth or attrition in balances and the estimated life of the relationship. Material changes are possible when our analysis is completed. The impact of these adjustments is to increase operating expenses by $651,000 and $2,894,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, respectively.
 
        (E) Adjustment to write off historical Sun goodwill and record goodwill created as a result of the merger.
 
        (F) Adjustment to record the deferred tax asset created as a result of the fair value adjustments using Omega’s statutory tax rate of 35%.
 
        (G) Adjustment to fair value of time deposit liabilities based on current interest rates for similar instruments. The adjustment will be recognized over the estimated remaining term of the related deposit liability. The impact of the adjustment was to decrease interest expense by approximately $510,000 and $2,042,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, respectively.
 
        (H) Adjustment to fair value of outstanding long-term debt instruments. The adjustment will be recognized over the remaining life of the long-term debt instruments. The impact of the adjustment was to decrease interest expense by $1,337,000 and $5,348,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, respectively.
 
        (I) Adjustment to reflect anticipated additional borrowings to fund the merger. For purposes of the pro forma adjustments shown here, we have estimated borrowing $35,000,000 for a term of 12 years at a rate of 6.5%, and $7,000,000 for a 2-year term at LIBOR plus 125 basis points (currently 2.35%). The impact of the adjustment was to increase interest expense by $610,000 and $2,440,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. The rates used for these borrowings are estimates. Actual rates may differ from those presented in this pro forma condensed statement of income. If the actual rates vary by one-eighth of one percent higher or lower than those presented, the effect would be to lower or raise income by $53,000 annually.
 
        (J) Adjustment to fair value of outstanding subordinated debentures. The adjustment will be recognized over the remaining life of the instrument. The impact of the adjustment was to decrease interest expense by $31,000 and $124,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, respectively.
 
        (K) Adjustment to reflect the liability for incremental direct costs associated with the merger. These costs include accountant and attorney fees, investment banker services, the fee for cancellation of a Sun operating contract for data processing services, payout of employee contracts and severance payments to displaced Sun personnel. These liabilities have been recorded pursuant to EITF 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination”. (See also (N) and (O).

        (L) Adjustment to eliminate Sun’s historical shareholders’ equity, the adjustment reflects the issuance of Omega common stock and the conversion of Sun’s stock options into Omega stock options.
 
        (M) Adjustment to reflect the accretion of the excess of market value of Sun’s investment portfolio over Sun’s historical amortized cost. A total of $1,482,000 would be accreted to earnings over the life of the investments, which is approximately 3 years. The expected impact was to increase interest income by $124,000 and $494,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, respectively.
 
        (N) Adjustment to reflect cost savings as a result of planned, identified staff reductions. The expected impact was to decrease salary and employee benefit expense by $774,000 and $3,097,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. (See Note 3).
 
        (O) Adjustment to reflect anticipated net savings from the cancellation of Sun’s data processing operating agreement and the consolidation of operations into Omega’s provider of data processing services. The amounts used in the pro forma adjustments represent normal processing fees only; no adjustment has been made for costs to convert the operation.
 
        (P) Adjustment to record the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using Omega’s statutory tax rate of 35%.
 
        (Q) Weighted average shares were calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding of Sun and Omega, adjusted using the exchange ratio, to the equivalent shares of Omega common stock, for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the three months ended March 31, 2004. Earnings per share data have been computed based on the combined historical income of Sun and Omega and the impact of purchase accounting adjustments.

Note 3 — Estimated Annual Cost Savings

      The following estimated annual cost savings represent our estimate only and may not be indicative of the actual amount or nature of the cost savings the combined company actually achieves. Of the items listed below, only cost reductions related to liabilities established pursuant to EITF 95-3 have been included in the pro forma income statements as presented. The additional estimated savings are presented in this footnote for informational purposes only, and are not expected to be achieved in the first year following the merger. The data shown below does not include the impact of possible revenue opportunities.

The following table summarizes Omega’s estimated annual after-tax cost savings (computed at a 35% tax rate) when fully phased in after the merger:

         
Annual After-Tax
Cost Savings

Expected cost savings reflected in the pro formas:
       
Salary and benefit reductions
  $ 2,013,000 (1)
Elimination of redundant data processing service provider contract
    423,000 (2)
     
 
      2,436,000  
Estimated cost savings not reflected in the pro formas:
       
Elimination of redundant operational and administrative processes
    1,339,000 (3)
Consolidation of marketing process
    130,000 (4)
Reduction of occupancy expense
    195,000 (5)
     
 
      1,664,000  
     
 
Total
  $ 4,100,000  
     
 


(1)  Personnel cost savings are projected to occur from the elimination of duplicative corporate, administrative and operational functions in the combined company.
 
(2)  As stand-alone corporations, both Sun and Omega have major contracts with data processing service providers. In the pro forma statements, a liability has been established for the termination fee associated with the elimination of one of the contracts. The annual savings reflected in the pro forma income statements and in the table above represent net cost reductions on an on-going basis after the conversion to one provider is complete.
 
(3)  Overlapping business infrastructure including technology and operations functions are projected to result in cost savings due to the elimination of redundant systems and software, the elimination of redundant operational expenses and corporate and administrative processes for the combined company.
 
(4)  Marketing cost savings are projected from the consolidation of advertising and marketing efforts under a common brand.
 
(5)  Occupancy cost savings are projected to result from consolidation of administrative personnel into a reduced number of office facilities.

Note 4 — Merger Related Charges

      In connection with the merger, we have been developing our plan to integrate Omega and Sun’s operations. The total integration costs have not yet been determined and have not been included in the pro forma adjustments. The specific details of these plans will continue to be refined over the next several months. Currently, our merger integration team is assessing the two companies’ operations, including information systems, premises, equipment, benefit plans, service contracts and personnel to determine optimum strategies to realize additional cost savings.

      On the effective date of the merger, the interest rates used in the valuation of Sun’s assets and liabilities may be higher or lower than those at March 31, 2004. In order to comprehend the extent of the impact that rate movements could have on the fair value of net assets acquired, simulations were performed “shocking” interest rates by 100 and 200 basis points up and down from the interest rates on March 31, 2004. The following tables show the estimated effects on the purchase accounting adjustments and the pro forma impact on annual net interest income of such changes. For purposes of this presentation, the impact of a change in interest rates has not been considered in calculating the intangible assets with finite lives since their valuation is impacted by several factors in addition to interest rates including customer retention, geographic location and other factors. In addition, no consideration has been given to the impact of changing interest rates on the financial instruments of the acquiring Company (Omega). For more information on the impact of interest rate risk related to Omega, please refer to Market Risk information included in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition in the 2003 Annual Report on Form 10K and the March 31, 2004 Form 10Q.

      (a) Payment of the Merger Consideration. Omega shall deposit with the Exchange Agent sufficient certificates representing Omega Common Stock and sufficient cash to enable the Exchange Agent to distribute the Aggregate Consideration as determined pursuant to this Agreement. Within three business days after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall distribute, to all Sun Shareholders who have properly submitted Election Forms together with their share certificates or proper proofs with respect to lost certificates, the Cash Merger Consideration and the Stock Merger Consideration to which each such Sun Shareholder is entitled. Within five business days after receiving properly completed Shareholder Materials, as set forth in Section 2.5(b), from any Sun Shareholder who made a Non-Election, the Exchange Agent shall likewise distribute to such Sun Shareholder the Cash Merger Consideration or Stock Merger Consideration, or a combination of both, which such Sun Shareholder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement.

      (b) Submission Procedures for Non-Electing Shares. Within five business days after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall send the Shareholder Materials to each Sun Shareholder who has made a Non-Election. All Shareholder Materials shall be sent by first class United States mail to such Sun Shareholders at the addresses set forth on the official shareholder records of Sun. Omega shall also make appropriate provisions with the Exchange Agent to enable Sun Shareholders to obtain the Shareholder Materials from, and to deliver the certificates formerly representing shares of Sun Common Stock to, the Exchange Agent in person, commencing on or not later than the second business day following the Effective Time. Upon receipt of the appropriate Shareholder Materials, together with the certificates formerly evidencing and representing all of the shares of Sun Common Stock which were validly held of record by such Sun Shareholder, the Exchange Agent shall take prompt action to process such certificates formerly evidencing and representing shares of Sun Common Stock received by it (including the prompt return of any defective submissions with instructions as to those actions which may be necessary to remedy any defects) and to mail to the Sun Shareholders in exchange for the certificate(s) surrendered by them, the consideration to be issued or paid for such Sun Shareholder’s shares pursuant to the terms hereof.

      (c) Rights Appurtenant to Certificates Lost Certificates. After the Effective Time and until properly surrendered to the Exchange Agent, each outstanding certificate or certificates which formerly evidenced and represented Sun Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent and evidence only the right to receive the aggregate Cash Merger Consideration or aggregate Stock Merger Consideration into which such Sun Common Stock was converted. The aggregate Cash Merger Consideration or aggregate Stock Merger Consideration shall not be paid to the record holder of any Sun Common Stock until the certificate therefor is surrendered in the manner required. Each Sun Shareholder will be responsible for all federal, state and local taxes which may be incurred by him or her on account of his or her receipt of the consideration to be paid in the Merger. A Sun Shareholder whose certificate(s) have been lost or destroyed may nevertheless, subject to the provisions of this Article, receive the aggregate Cash Merger Consideration or aggregate Stock Merger Consideration to which such Sun Shareholder is entitled, provided that such Sun Shareholder must first deliver to Omega or to the Exchange Agent: (i) a sworn statement certifying such loss or destruction and specifying the circumstances thereof, and (ii) a lost instrument bond in form satisfactory to Omega and the Exchange Agent which has been duly executed by a corporate surety satisfactory to Omega and the Exchange Agent, indemnifying the Surviving Corporation, Omega, the Exchange Agent (and their respective successors) to their satisfaction against

A-12

any loss or expense which any of them may incur as a result of such lost or destroyed certificates being presented. Any costs or expenses which may arise from such replacement procedure, including the premium on the lost instrument bond, shall be paid by the Sun Shareholder.

      (d) Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Sun shall be closed and no transfer of shares of Sun Common Stock shall be made thereafter.

      (e) Right to Receive Dividends on Omega Common Stock. Each Sun Shareholder who is entitled to receive the Stock Merger Consideration shall be entitled, to the same extent as other holders of Omega Common Stock, to payments of dividends, if any, on Omega Common Stock if the record date for such dividend is on or after the Closing Date; provided, however, that such dividends shall be paid, without interest, only after the Sun Shareholder submits his or her certificate for Sun Common Stock pursuant to Sections 2.4(b) or 2.5(b) or complies with the requirements of Section 2.5(c) with respect to lost stock certificates. All dividends not paid on the dividend payment date pursuant to this Section shall be paid by Omega to the Exchange Agent, which shall remit them to the applicable shareholder upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.5(e).

      2.6     Time and Place of Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions herein contemplated shall have been abandoned pursuant to Section 8.1, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 7, the Closing will take place at 10:00 a.m. on the Closing Date, at Omega’s corporate offices in State College, Pennsylvania, unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

      2.7     Voting Agreements. As a material inducement for Omega entering into this Agreement, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement by the Parties, each director and executive officer of Sun shall enter into a Voting Agreement.

      2.8     Reservation of Shares. Omega agrees that, prior to the Effective Time, it will take appropriate action to reserve a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Omega Common Stock to be issued as Stock Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement.

      2.9     Certain Actions Relating to Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, Omega and Sun shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of shares of SunCommon Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such shares) resulting from the transactions contemplated by Article 2 of this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Sun to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Omega shall provide Sun the opportunity to and comment on all required applications within a reasonable period prior to the filing thereof provide Sun with copies of all written communications with Governmental Authorities regarding any transactions provided for herein and related applications and Proceedings. Subject to the term and conditions of this Agreement, Omega shall use its best efforts to do, to cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, or advisable under Applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, using reasonable efforts to lift or rescind any injunction or restraining or other order adversely affecting the ability of the Parties to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

Any Sun employee at the Effective Time whose employment with Omega is terminated by Omega within six months after the Effective Time, other than for cause, and who is not otherwise entitled to a severance payment or contract assurance period pursuant to any written agreement with Sun, shall be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to one week’s salary at then current rates for each full year of employment with Sun up to a maximum of 26 weeks. For the purposes of this Agreement, termination by Omega shall include actual termination, material reduction in salary, or relocation of the principal workplace of the employee beyond 50 miles from the employee’s current workplace; and “cause” shall include the following: (i) personal dishonesty, (ii) incompetence or intentional failure to perform regular duties, (iii) willful misconduct or willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease and desist order, or (iv) breach of fiduciary duty.

      6.4     Notification. Omega shall notify Sun promptly after becoming aware of the occurrence of, or the impending or threatened occurrence of, any event that would constitute a material breach on its part of any obligation under this Agreement or the occurrence of any event that could cause any representation or warranty made by it herein to be false or misleading in any in respect, or if it becomes a party or is threatened with becoming a party to any Proceeding or upon the occurrence of any event that would result in a material change in the circumstances described in the representations and warranties made herein; provided, however, that such notification does not obviate any of Omega’s responsibilities or obligations under this Agreement. At all times up to and including, and as of, the Closing, Omega shall inform Sun in writing of any and all facts necessary to amend or supplement the representations and warranties made herein and in the Omega Schedule as necessary so that the information contained herein and therein will accurately reflect the current status of Omega and the Omega Subsidiaries; provided, however, that any such updates to the Omega Schedule shall be required prior to the Closing only with respect to matters which represent material changes to the Omega Schedule and the information contained therein.

maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance tail coverage policy with respect to the directors and officers of Sun, relating to periods prior to the Effective Time and for a period ending 6 years thereafter, with coverages substantially the same as the coverages they have under Sun’s director and officer liability policy on the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall Omega be required to spend in excess of 150% of the premiums currently paid by Sun for their existing directors and officers liability insurance policy, to satisfy its obligations under this Section 6.5.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, as agreed to by Sun or as required by Applicable Law, during the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, Omega shall, and shall cause the Omega Subsidiaries to (i) take no action which would adversely affect or delay the ability of the Parties to obtain any necessary Banking Approvals or Governmental Approvals or waivers of any Governmental Authority required for the transactions contemplated hereby or to perform their covenants and agreements in this Agreement on a timely basis, (ii) take no action that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) continue to conduct their businesses in the ordinary course and consistent with past practices; and (iv) pay no dividend other than normal periodic dividends in accordance with existing practice.

      6.7     Inspections Permitted.

Gentlemen:

      Omega Financial Corporation (“Omega”) and Sun Bancorp, Inc. (“Sun”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2004 (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which Sun will be merged with and into Omega (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Sun common stock, without par value, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (the “Sun Shares”), other than certain shares specified in the Agreement, will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof, either (a) $23.25 in cash without interest, or (b) 0.664 shares of Omega common stock, par value $5.00 per share, subject to the election and proration procedures set forth in the Agreement which provide generally, among other things, that 20% of the Sun Shares shall be converted into cash and 80% shall be converted into Omega common stock (the “Merger Consideration”). The terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement. You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to Omega.

      Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P., as part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions. In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things: (i) the Agreement; (ii) certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Omega that we deemed relevant; (iii) certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Sun that we deemed relevant; (iv) internal financial projections for Omega for the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2005 furnished by and reviewed with management of Omega; (v) internal financial projections for Sun for the year ending December 31, 2004 furnished by and reviewed with management of Sun; (vi) the pro forma financial impact of the Merger on Omega, based on assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings determined by senior managements of Omega and Sun; (vii) the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for Omega’s and Sun’s common stock, including a comparison of certain financial and stock market information for Omega and Sun with similar publicly available information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; (viii) the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the commercial banking industry, to the extent publicly available; (ix) the current market environment generally and the banking environment in particular; and (x) such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as we considered relevant. We also discussed with certain members of Omega’s senior management the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Omega and held similar discussions with certain members of Sun’s senior management and its advisors regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Sun, including the impact of Sun’s acquisition of Sentry Trust Company.

      In performing our review and rendering this opinion, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was available to us from public sources, that was provided to us by Omega or Sun or their respective representatives or that was otherwise reviewed by us and have assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering this opinion. We have further relied on the assurances of management of Omega and Sun that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading. We have not been asked to and have not undertaken an independent verification of any of such information and we do not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. We did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Omega or Sun or any of their subsidiaries, or the collectibility of any such assets, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. We did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Omega or Sun nor have we reviewed any individual credit files relating to Omega or Sun. We have assumed, with your consent, that the respective allowances for loan losses for both Omega and Sun are adequate to cover such losses and will be adequate on a combined basis for the combined entity. With respect to the financial projections for Omega and Sun and all projections of transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments and expected cost savings used by Sandler O’Neill in its analyses, Omega’s management confirmed to us that they reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of such management of the respective future financial performances of Omega and Sun and we assumed that such performances would be achieved. We express no opinion as to such financial projections or the assumptions on which they are based.

      In performing our review and rendering this opinion, we have also assumed that there has been no material change in Omega’s or Sun’s assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to us. We have assumed in all respects material to our analysis that Omega and Sun will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to our analyses, that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement and all related agreements are true and correct, that each party to such agreements will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under such agreements, that the conditions precedent in the Agreement are not waived and that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Finally, with your consent, we have relied upon the advice Omega has received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

      Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect this opinion. We have not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw this opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date hereof. We are expressing no opinion herein as to what the value of Omega’s common stock will be when issued to Sun’s shareholders pursuant to the Agreement or the prices at which Omega’s or Sun’s common stock may trade at any time.

      We have acted as Omega’s financial advisor in connection with the Merger and will receive a fee for our services, a substantial portion of which is contingent upon consummation of the Merger. We will also receive a fee for rendering this opinion. Omega has also agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement.

      In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may purchase securities from and sell securities to Omega and Sun and their affiliates. We may also actively trade the debt and/or equity securities of Omega and Sun and their affiliates for our own account and for the accounts of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

Our opinion is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, in a registration statement, prospectus, proxy statement or in any other document, nor shall this opinion be used for any other purposes, without Sandler O’Neill’s prior written consent ; provided, however, that we hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as an annex to the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus of Omega and Sun relating to the Merger and to the references to this opinion therein.

The Board of Directors

Sun Bancorp, Inc.

Members of the Board:

      You have requested our opinion as investment bankers as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of Sun Bancorp, Inc. (“Sun”) of the Merger Consideration, as defined below, in the proposed merger (the “Merger”) of Sun with and into Omega Financial Corporation (“Omega”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2004, between Sun and Omega (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, each share of Sun Common Stock, no par value, will be converted into the Merger Consideration defined as either (i) cash in the amount of $23.25 (“Cash Merger Consideration”), or (ii) Stock Merger Consideration defined as 0.664 shares of Omega Common Stock, par value $5.00 per share. Holders of Sun Common Stock will be entitled to elect their preference with respect to each share of Sun Common Stock held by them, subject to pro rata allocation, such that 20% of Sun Common Stock shall be paid in cash and 80% of Sun Common Stock will be in the form of Omega Common Stock.

      Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., as part of its investment banking business, is continually engaged in the valuation of bank and bank holding company securities in connection with acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for various other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, we have experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of the banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may, from time to time purchase securities from, and sell securities to, Sun and Omega, and as a market maker in securities, we may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of Sun and Omega for our own account and for the accounts of our customers. We have acted exclusively for the Board of Directors of Sun in rendering this fairness opinion and will receive a fee from Sun for our services.

      In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, analyzed and relied upon material bearing upon the financial and operating condition of Sun and Omega and the Merger, including among other things, the following: (i) the Agreement; (ii) the Annual Reports to Stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the three years ended December 31, 2003 of Sun and Omega; (iii) certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Sun and Omega and certain other communications from Sun and Omega to their respective stockholders; and (iv) other financial information concerning the businesses and operations of Sun and Omega furnished to us by Sun and Omega for purposes of our analysis. We have also held discussions with senior management of Sun and Omega regarding the past and current business operations, regulatory relations, financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies and such other matters as we have deemed relevant to our inquiry. In addition, we have compared certain financial and stock market information for Sun and Omega with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded, reviewed

the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the banking industry and performed such other studies and analyses as we considered appropriate.

      In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to us or publicly available and we have not assumed any responsibility for independently verifying the accuracy or completeness of any such information. We have relied upon the management of Sun and Omega as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections (and the assumptions and bases therefor) provided to us, and we have assumed that such forecasts and projections reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments of such managements and that such forecasts and projections will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods currently estimated by such managements. We are not experts in the independent verification of the adequacy of allowances for loan and lease losses and we have assumed that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for Sun and Omega are adequate to cover such losses. In rendering our opinion, we have not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals of the property of Sun or Omega, nor have we examined any individual credit files.

      We have assumed that, in all respects material to our analyses, the following: (i) the merger will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement; (ii) the representations and warranties of each party in the merger agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the merger agreement are true and correct; (iii) each party to the merger agreement and all related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents; (iv) all conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied without any waivers; and (v) in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the merger, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity or the contemplated benefits of the merger, including the cost savings, revenue enhancements and related expenses expected to result from the merger.

      We have considered such financial and other factors as we have deemed appropriate under the circumstances, including, among others, the following: (i) the historical and current financial position and results of operations of Sun and Omega; (ii) the assets and liabilities of Sun and Omega; and (iii) the nature and terms of certain other merger transactions involving banks and bank holding companies. We have also taken into account our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and our experience in other transactions, as well as our experience in securities valuation and knowledge of the banking industry generally. Our opinion is necessarily based upon conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof and the information made available to us through the date hereof.

      Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to holders of the shares of Sun Common Stock.

  Very truly yours,
 
  /s/ KEEFE, BRUYETTE & WOODS, INC.
