Item 2.01.    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements Item 9.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Tompkins Financial Corporation (“Tompkins”) on August 7, 2012 to provide the audited and unaudited financial statements required by part (a) of Item 9.01 of Form 8-K pursuant to Rule 3-05 (b) and Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Such financial statements are required as a result of Tompkins’ August 1, 2012 acquisition of VIST Financial Corp. (“VIST”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 25, 2012 under which VIST merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tompkins, whereupon the separate corporate existence of VIST  ceased and the merger subsidiary survived (the “Merger”). Immediately after the Merger, the merger subsidiary was merged with and into Tompkins, with Tompkins being the corporation surviving that merger. As a result, VIST Bank, a Pennsylvania state-chartered commercial bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of VIST, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tompkins and it will continue to operate as a separate subsidiary bank of Tompkins.
