Dear Holders of Wilmington Trust common stock:

We previously mailed proxy materials to you for the special meeting of the common stockholders of Wilmington Trust Corporation to be held on March 22, 2011, to consider the merger of Wilmington Trust and M&T Bank Corporation (M&T).  According to our records, we have not yet received your vote.

Our Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement, and “FOR” the approval of the adjournment, postponement, or continuation of the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement, each as set forth in the proxy statement that was sent to you several weeks ago.

Moreover, proxy advisory firms ISS Proxy Advisory Services, Taft-Hartley Advisory Services, Glass Lewis & Co., and Egan-Jones Proxy Services have each announced that they recommended a vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement, and “FOR” the approval of the adjournment, postponement, or continuation of the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement.

Your vote is extremely important   and your shares cannot be voted unless you give your specific instructions .  Please vote today by using the toll-free telephone voting service or the Internet.  Voting instructions are located on the enclosed voting instruction form (VIF).  You may also vote by signing, dating, and returning the VIF in the provided envelope.

If you have any questions regarding voting, you may call our proxy solicitor, Morrow & Co., LLC, toll-free at
(800) 662-5200.

Sincerely,

Wilmington Trust Corporation

Donald E. Foley
Chief Executive Officer
