Item 4.01 - Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On July 30, 2018, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors ("The Audit Committee") of S & T Bancorp, Inc. ("S & T") approved Ernst & Young LLP ("EY") as S & T's new independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018, effective immediately. This appointment was made to replace the previous independent registered public accounting firm whose interim review of the second quarter Form 10-Q has been completed.

During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the subsequent interim period through July 30, 2018, neither S & T nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with EY regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, nor did EY provide either a written report or oral advice to us that was considered by us in reaching a decision regarding any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue. Furthermore, during this time period, neither S & T nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with EY regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
