		<description><![CDATA[Although a major recovery in the asset markets has been witnessed in recent quarters, the outlook for the U.S. banking industry remains in question due to several negatives, including asset-quality troubles, the continuation of both residential and commercial real estate loan defaults and the impact of tighter regulations and policy changes. After enduring extraordinary shocks in 2008, U.S. banks entered an exceptional state of turmoil in 2009. Starting as a credit issue in the subprime segment of the mortgage market, the situation affected the entire financial services industry, in all corners of the globe. In other words, the financial crisis ultimately morphed into a massive economic crisis, which has had major ramifications across the entire world.

		<description><![CDATA[M&#38;T Bank Corporation’s (MTB) long-term and short-term issuer default ratings (IDRs) were affirmed by Fitch Ratings at “A-” and “F1,” respectively. However, the rating outlook remains “Negative.” The rating affirmation follows M&#38;T’s announcement of agreeing to buy Wilmington Trust Corporation (WL) in a stock-for-stock transaction valued at around $351 million. According to Fitch, the combined entity’s ratings would not be impacted because of this transaction. In fact, Fitch believes that this acquisition would benefit M&#38;T as the purchase price is a favorable one. Also, with the overlap of the two companies’ footprint and the possibility of an increase in fee-based revenue, the deal seems encouraging for M&#38;T. The deal, expected to close by mid-2011, would add 48 branch locations in Delaware and 225 ATMs to M&#38;T Bank’s network and result ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Given the current market recovery factor and valued growth indicators, we are upgrading our recommendation on the shares of Wilmington Trust Corporation (WL) to Neutral from Underperform. Although the current economic turmoil has weakened both the revenue growth and the operating leverage of Wilmington, we believe that once the economy stabilizes, it will have a substantial positive effect on the earning potential of the company. Wilmington reported a fourth quarter loss, versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of earnings. Results reflected a strong growth in Corporate Client Services segment, improvement in core deposits and growing assets under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA). However, these were offset by an increase in non-performing loans and a decline in investment portfolio. Despite challenging conditions, Wilmington maintains a reputable capital position.

		<description><![CDATA[Wilmington Trust Corporation (WL) reported a fourth quarter loss available to common shareholders of $15.7 million or 23 cents per share compared to a loss of $69.4 million or $1.02 per share in the year-ago quarter. The results lagged behind the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a gain of 4 cents. Wilmington results reflected increases in advisory revenue, driven largely by growth in the corporate client services business. However, this was substantially offset by higher loan loss provisions that reduced net interest income and reflected higher levels of non-performing loans and charge-offs, and risk rating downgrades, primarily in the commercial construction portfolio. Moreover, securities’ losses due to other-than-temporary impairments of pooled trust-preferred securities along with preferred stock dividends and discount accretion also added to the sliding results. Net interest and non-interest ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wilmington Trust&#8217;s (WL) second-quarter earnings came in ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate, aided by strong growth in client services business and improvement in net interest margin. However, credit quality deteriorated drastically during the reported quarter. In 2009, both S&#38;P and Moody&#8217;s lowered their outlooks on the company to negative and downgraded the ratings based on concerns related to its real estate lending concentration. Though loan growth has been impressive relative to many of its peers in the past, the pace of growth has started to moderate in the last few quarters. We expect the pace to slow down further in the near to medium-term, based on the ongoing weakness in the economy. Thus, we are maintaining our Underperform recommendation.

		<description><![CDATA[Wilmington Trust is not a lender to Continental Airlines In a filing with SEC on July 1, 2009, Continental Airlines Inc (CAL) unveiled an agreement with Wells Fargo &#38; Company (WFC) and Wilmington Trust Corporation (WL) for aircraft financing. Continental intended to issue equipment notes to finance 12 Boeing aircraft it already owns and five of the seven Boeing planes that are scheduled for delivery through September. However, On July 3, 2009, Wilmington Trust clarified that it is not a lender to Continental and has no credit exposure to the airline company. Wilmington is serving solely in corporate trust and agency capacities for Continental’s future issuance of approximately $390 million of equipment notes. As a result, this transaction has no impact on Wilmington Trust’s financial condition. Wilmington Trust’s role remained ]]></description>
