     On August 18, 2009, Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania, Inc. (“Royal”) received a letter from director Robert A.

Mr. Richards’ letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, includes the following statement: “As you know, I have been frustrated for an extended period of time since my recommendations and suggestions discussed at the board of directors meetings have not been given serious consideration as I would have hoped they would have. Therefore, it is appropriate that I resign my position from both Boards of Directors.” Royal encourages all directors, even those with differing opinions, to actively participate in the discussions and dialogue regarding the company’s ongoing business and operations.
