Item2.01

On March11, 2017, to the terms and conditions of the Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated as of July20, 2016 between F.N.B.
Corporation (F.N.B.) and Yadkin Financial Corporation (Yadkin),
Yadkin merged with and into F.N.B., with F.N.B. being the
surviving corporation (the Merger). As a result of the Merger,
Yadkin ceased to exist as a separate corporation and each share
of Yadkin common stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Merger (except for certain shares held by F.N.B., Yadkin and
their respective subsidiaries, which were cancelled without
receipt of any consideration) was converted into the right to
receive 2.16 shares of the common stock of F.N.B., with cash paid
in lieu of fractional shares. Additionally, each outstanding
option to purchase shares of Yadkin common stock to Yadkins
equity-based compensation plans was converted into an option to
purchase a number of shares of F.N.B. common stock equal to the
number of shares of Yadkin common stock underlying the option
immediately prior to the Merger multiplied by 2.16 (rounded down
to the nearest whole share), at an exercise price equal to the
exercise price in effect immediately before the Merger, divided
by 2.16 (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Immediately
following completion of the Merger, Yadkins bank subsidiary,
Yadkin Bank, merged with and into First National Bank of
Pennsylvania, the principal subsidiary of F.N.B., with First
National Bank of Pennsylvania continuing as the surviving bank.

The foregoing description of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and
the Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Agreement and Plan of Merger,
which is incorporated herein by reference.

The information disclosed in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on
Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the completion of the merger between F.N.B.
and Yadkin, on March10, 2017, Yadkin notified its principal
trading market, the New York Stock Exchange, that effective as of
12:01 a.m. on March11, 2017, Yadkin would be merged with and into
F.N.B. and each share of common stock of Yadkin outstanding
immediately prior to the merger would be converted into the right
to receive the merger consideration set forth in the Agreement
and Plan of Merger (or, in the case of certain shares held by
F.N.B., Yadkin and their respective subsidiaries, cancelled
without receipt of any consideration), and requested that the
NYSE file with the SEC a notification of removal from listing on
Form 25 to report that the common stock of Yadkin is no longer
listed on the NYSE.

of which the separate corporate existence of Yadkin ceased and
each share of Yadkin common stock (except for certain shares held
by F.N.B., Yadkin and their respective subsidiaries, which were
cancelled without receipt of any consideration), was converted
into the right to receive the merger consideration provided for
in the Agreement and Plan of Merger.

executive officers of Yadkin.
