Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )The reported transaction involves an award of restricted stock units under the M&T Bank Corporation 2009 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of M&T Bank Corporation common stock upon vesting. ( 2 )The restricted stock unit award includes a total of 5,330 shares. 1,599 shares of the restricted stock unit award will vest on January 31, 2014; an additional 1,599 shares will vest on January 30, 2015; and the remaining 2,132 shares will vest on January 29, 2016. The resulting shares of common stock received upon settlement will be subject to the restrictions on transfer included in the TARP Interim Final Rule's definition of "long-term restricted stock" until M&T repays the remainder of its TARP obligation. ( 3 )The restricted stock units were granted under an incentive compensation plan maintained by M&T Bank Corporation, and therefore the reporting person paid no price for the restricted stock units.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
