Additional Information and Where to Find It

The proposed merger will be submitted to National City’s and PNC’s shareholders for their consideration. PNC has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which includes a joint proxy statement/prospectus of PNC and National City that also constitutes a prospectus of PNC. PNC and National City have mailed the joint proxy statement/prospectus to their respective shareholders, and each of the companies plans to file with the SEC other relevant documents concerning the proposed merger. Shareholders and other investors are urged to read the joint proxy statement/prospectus (which was first mailed to PNC and National City shareholders on or about November 24, 2008) as well as any other relevant documents to be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed merger or incorporated by reference into the joint proxy statement/prospectus (and any amendments or supplements to those documents), because they will contain important information. You may obtain a free copy of these documents, as well as other filings containing information about National City and PNC, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) and at the companies’ respective websites, www.nationalcity.com/investorrelations and www.pnc.com/secfilings.

National City and PNC and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the shareholders of PNC or National City in connection with the proposed merger.
