OnBryn ~~April~~Mawr ~~25,~~Bank ~~2017,~~ Corporation/Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. ~~(“Royal”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2017. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.~~Merger

~~Item~~As 9previously announced, on January 31, 2017, Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation (“BMBC”) and Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc.01 ~~Financial~~(“RBPI”) ~~Statements~~entered into an Agreement and ~~Exhibits~~Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which RBPI will merge with and into BMBC (the “Merger”), and thereafter Royal Bank America, a Pennsylvania chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of RBPI, will be merged with and into The Bryn Mawr Trust Company, a Pennsylvania chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of BMBC. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of RBPI will cease and BMBC will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger.

On April 14, 2017, BMBC and RBPI filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (dthe “SEC”) ~~Exhibits:~~a Proxy Statement/Prospectus on Form S-4 (SEC File No. 333-216995) that was declared effective by the SEC on April 18, 2017 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) in connection with the proposed Merger. The Proxy Statement/Prospectus was first mailed to the shareholders of RBPI on April 20, 2017.

99As has previously been described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, following announcement of the Merger Agreement, a complaint (the “Lawsuit”) was filed in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, against members of the RBPI board, BMBC and RBPI.~~1 Press~~ The ~~release~~lawsuit, ~~dated~~which ~~April~~is 25captioned Parshall v. Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, ~~2017~~Inc., ~~regarding~~et ~~financial~~al., ~~results~~Case ~~for~~No. 2:17‑cv‑01641‑PBT, alleges class claims on behalf of all RBPI shareholders and is based on allegations of material misstatements and omissions in the ~~three~~Proxy ~~months~~Statement/Prospectus ~~ended~~and ~~March~~violations 31of the Exchange Act. The lawsuit seeks, ~~2017~~among other remedies, to enjoin the merger or, in the event the merger is completed, rescission of the merger or rescissory damages; to direct defendants to account for unspecified damages; and costs of the lawsuit, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

BMBC and RBPI have vigorously denied, and continue to vigorously deny, any wrongdoing or liability with respect to all claims asserted in the Lawsuit, including (i) that they have committed any violations of law, (ii) that they have acted improperly in any way, (iii) that they have any liability or owe any damages of any kind to any plaintiff in the Lawsuit, and (iv) that any additional disclosures (including the additional disclosures described herein) are required under any applicable rule, regulation, statute, or law. Rather, they are providing the additional disclosures set forth below in an effort to settle the Lawsuit in order to, among other things, (i) eliminate the burden, inconvenience, expense, risk, and distraction of further litigation, (ii) conclusively resolve all the claims that were or could have been asserted against them in the Lawsuit, and (iii) permit the Merger to proceed without risk of injunctive or other relief. Nothing in this document or in any stipulation of settlement or other document shall be deemed to be an admission of liability or wrongdoing by any defendant in the Lawsuit, nor shall anything in this document, or in any stipulation of settlement or other document, be deemed an admission of the materiality of any of the disclosures set forth herein. Notwithstanding the additional disclosures made herein, there can be no assurance that the Lawsuit will be settled, or, if settled, the terms of any such settlement.

These additional disclosures amend and supplement the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures contained therein. To the extent that information in this Current Report on Form 8‑K differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Current Report on Form 8‑K is more current. Capitalized terms used but not defined in the additional disclosures have the meanings given to them in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

The following language is added on page 87 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the first paragraph of the section captioned “Net Present Value Analysis” immediately after the sentence that reads “The terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 10.0% to 15.0% which were chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of RBPI common stock.”

“Sandler O’Neill utilized the equity build-up method to calculate the appropriate discount rate for RBPI common stock. As detailed in the following table, the discount rate equals the sum of the risk free rate, the equity risk premium, the size premium and the industry premium:

Risk Free Rate	2.49%
Equity Risk Premium	5.80%
Size Premium	3.58%
Industry Premium	0.91%
Discount Rate	12.78%

The risk free rate is represented as the yield on the 10‑year U.S. Treasury note as of January 27, 2017. The equity risk premium, size premium and industry premium were sourced from the Duff & Phelps 2016 Valuation Handbook.”

The first sentence of the first paragraph on page 88 of the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus is revised to read as follows:

“Sandler O’Neill also performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of BMBC common stock assuming that BMBC performed in accordance with publicly available consensus median analyst earnings per share estimates for the years ending December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, as well as an estimated long-term earnings per share growth rate of 8% for BMBC for the years thereafter. This analysis also assumed that dividends paid per share by BMBC on its common stock would be consistent with BMBC’s historical practices.”

The following language is added to the first paragraph on page 88 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus immediately after the sentence that reads “The terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 9.0% to 13.0% chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of BMBC common stock.”

“Sandler O’Neill utilized the equity build-up method to calculate the appropriate discount rate for BMBC common stock. As detailed in the following table, the discount rate equals the sum of the risk free rate, the equity risk premium, the size premium and the industry premium:

Risk Free Rate	2.49%
Equity Risk Premium	5.80%
Size Premium	1.70%

“Most recently, Sandler O’Neill acted as placement agent to BMBC in connection with its offer and sale of $30 million of subordinated notes on August 6, 2015, for which Sandler O’Neill received a fee in an amount equal to $375,000.

“In preparing financial projections of RBPI, Sandler O’Neill used estimated annual net income growth of 10%, annual balance sheet growth of 5%, and annual loan and deposit growth of 11% and 3%, respectively. These estimated annual growth rates were provided to Sandler O’Neill by senior management of RBPI.”

Safe Harbor Statement

This document contains certain forward-looking information about BMBC and RBPI that is intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may include statements for the period after the completion of the Merger. Representatives of BMBC and RBPI may also make forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “will,” “may,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” “should,” “can,” “likely,” “could” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include statements about the expected benefits of the Merger, information about the combined company’s objectives, plans and expectations, the likelihood of satisfaction of certain conditions to the completion of the Merger and whether and when the Merger will be completed.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Merger or the combined company or other matters addressed in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and attributable to BMBC or RBPI or any person acting on behalf of either are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, neither BMBC nor RBPI undertakes any obligation to update or publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the date of the forward-looking statements or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
