Attention: Corporate Secretary
Additional information, including information regarding the annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and
other information filed by Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. with the SEC under the Exchange Act is available by fol owing
the instructions under "Where you can find more information" in the accompanying prospectus.
Certain statements in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be considered to be "forward-looking
statements" as that term is defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as statements that
include the words "expect," "estimate," "project," "anticipate," "should," "intend," "probability," "risk," "target," "objective"
and similar expressions or variations on such expressions. In particular, this document includes forward-looking
statements relating to, but not limited to, general economic conditions; the impact of new regulations on our business;
our potential exposures to various types of market risks, such as interest rate risk and credit risk; whether our allowance
for loan and lease losses is adequate to meet probable loan and lease losses; our ability to achieve loan growth; our
ability to maintain sufficient liquidity; our ability to manage credit quality; and our ability to achieve our financial goals.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. For example, certain of the market risk disclosures are
dependent on choices about essential model characteristics and assumptions and are subject to various limitations. By
their nature, certain of the market-risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actual y
occurs in the future. As a result, actual income gains and losses could material y differ from those that have been
estimated. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ material y from those estimated by the forward-looking
statements contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus include, but are not limited to:

· adverse changes in our loan and lease portfolios and the resulting credit-risk-related losses and expenses;

· adverse changes in regional real estate values;

· interest rate fluctuations which could increase our cost of funds or decrease our yield on earning assets and

therefore reduce our net interest income;

· decreases in our loan and lease quality and origination volume;

· the adequacy of loss reserves;
