"For more than 150 years, WesBanco has brought its strength, stability and customer focus to helping people achieve their personal and business financial goals while serving our communities and driving growth for our stakeholders. As we look to the future, those commitments remain firm," said Jackson, who became CEO in August 2023. "Today's bell-ringing symbolizes our embrace of a new chapter that builds on our strong foundation for continued growth and success while honoring the values and strategies that have shaped our transformation so far."

Over the past decade, WesBanco has nearly tripled in total assets through organic growth and strategic mergers, transforming from a community bank into a regional financial services institution with operations in six states and loan production offices in two more. Jackson, who joined WesBanco in 2022 as Chief Operating Officer, is already casting his vision for future growth with the opening of a commercial loan production office in the fast-growing Chattanooga, Tennessee market earlier this year and the introduction of new products and services intended to strengthen WesBanco's diversified earnings streams.

WesBanco has earned numerous national accolades for financial performance, credit quality, community development, employer of choice and customer satisfaction. Most recently, WesBanco earned its eighth consecutive "Outstanding" FDIC Community Reinvestment Act rating for its work meeting the credit needs of the communities in which it operates, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.

WesBanco's journey with Nasdaq has included several significant milestones celebrated with bell-ringing ceremonies. Past ceremonies include ones in 2011 and 2020, marking the company's achievement of $10 billion and $15 billion in assets, respectively. This latest bell-ringing ceremony, coinciding with the anniversary of the 2011 ceremony, adds another chapter to WesBanco's proud history of financial excellence and its ongoing partnership with Nasdaq.
