~~None~~Item 8.01. Other Events

On March 5, 2010, Harleysville National Corporation’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Harleysville National Bank and Trust Company (bthe “Bank”), ~~Pro~~was ~~Forma~~advised ~~Financial~~by ~~Information~~the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) that it has extended the deadline by which the Bank must meet certain individual minimum capital ratios established by the OCC and disclosed on a Form 8-K filed June 8, 2009 from March 31, 2010 to May 31, 2010. The OCC had previously extended the Bank’s compliance deadline from June 30, 2009 to March 31, 2010.

~~None~~The extension for compliance is conditioned upon the Bank maintaining capital ratios at least equal to those of a “well capitalized” bank under applicable regulations and the Bank’s continuing progress in addressing certain concerns raised by the OCC in its most recent examination of the Bank.

~~(c)~~Harleysville ~~Shell~~National ~~Company~~Corporation ~~Transactions~~expects that its planned merger with First Niagara Financial Group, Inc. will close early in the second quarter of 2010, pending and subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals.
