For Immediate Release

     MARIETTA and LANCASTER, Pennsylvania, May 5, 2011 (GLOBENEWSWIRE) — Donald H. Nikolaus, President of Donegal Financial Services Corporation (“DFSC”), and Mark D. Gainer, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Union National Financial Corporation (“UNNF”) (OTC Bulletin Board: “UNNF.OB”), today jointly announced the receipt of all regulatory approvals required to complete their pending merger. DFSC and UNNF expect to complete the merger on May 6, 2011.

     Upon the completion of the merger, each share of UNNF common stock will become the right to receive 0.2134 share of Class A common stock of Donegal Group Inc. (“DGI”) (NASDAQ Global Select: “DGICA”) and that amount of cash as equals $8.25 less the value of 0.2134 share of DGI Class A common stock, based on the average closing price of DGI Class A common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the effective date of the merger, but in no event less than $5.05 per share in cash nor more than $5.90 per share in cash. In practical terms, UNNF shareholders will receive merger consideration with a value of approximately $8.25 per share of UNNF common stock provided DGI Class A common stock has an average closing price between $11.00 and $15.00 per share for the five trading days preceding the effective date of the merger.

     Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Province Bank FSB, which DFSC owns, and Union National Community Bank, which UNNF owns, will also merge. Upon completion of the merger, the merged bank will conduct its banking business through 13 branch offices in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, under the name of “Union Community Bank.”

DGI is an insurance holding company whose insurance subsidiaries, along with Donegal Mutual Insurance Company, are members of the Donegal Insurance Group, which conducts a property and casualty insurance business in 22 Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern, New England and Southern states. The Donegal Insurance Group has an A.M. Best rating of A (Excellent).

     Province Bank FSB, which DFSC owns, has three branch offices and had approximately $97.6 million in assets at March 31, 2011. Donegal Mutual and DGI founded DFSC and Province Bank in 2000 to provide more diversified financial services.

     UNNF is a bank holding company whose principal subsidiary is Union National Community Bank, which has ten branch offices. UNNF had approximately $456.1 million in assets and stockholders’ equity of approximately $29.4 million as of March 31, 2011.
