Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(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 5,551 shares. 555 shares of the restricted stock unit award will vest on January 31, 2014; an additional 1,110 shares will vest on January 30, 2015; an additional 1,665 shares will vest on January 29, 2016; and the remaining 2,221 shares will vest on January 31, 2017.
(3) The restricted stock units were granted under an equity incentive compensation plan maintained by M&T Bank Corporation, and therefore the reporting person paid no price for the restricted stock units.
(4) The restricted stock unit award includes a total of 2,922 shares. 876 shares of the restricted stock unit award will vest on January 30, 2015; an additional 877 shares will vest on January 29, 2016; and the remaining 1,169 shares will vest on January 31, 2017. This restricted stock unit award is intended to meet the requirements of the TARP Interim Final Rule's definition of "long-term restricted stock" as the award relates to the reporting person's performance during the period of time in 2012 that M&T continued to have an outstanding TARP obligation.
(5) Shares withheld for taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock previously granted to the reporting person.
(6) Jointly owned.
(7) These shares are owned by the son of the reporting person under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act for which the reporting person is custodian.
