rewarding employees with corporation stock. The level of the bank’s contribution is discretionary and is not tied to any specific formula. The contribution level is approved byIn 2010, the Board of Directors approved an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) effective January 1, 2011 to provide eligible employees of the Corporation or Bank with an opportunity to purchase shares of common stock of the Corporation through payroll deductions. Participation in the Plan will provide eligible employees with a convenient method to acquire an interest in the long-term performance and success of the Corporation, thereby, providing them an incentive to ensure the success of the Corporation.

Incentive Compensation

All employees are eligible to participate in the Employee Referral Incentive Program, under which employees are eligible to receive awards for locating, recruiting, and referring candidates for openings at the Bank. The amount of the award is based on the position for which the person referred is hired and is paid in two installments, the second of which is subject to the referral completing six months employment at the Bank.

No other incentive compensation was paid to the named executive officers, nor were the named executive officers eligible for any other incentive compensation.

Accounting and Tax Treatments

There were no decisions or changes made to compensation or benefit plans as a recommendation byresult of accounting and/or tax treatments. As part of the TARP requirements, as further discussed below, the Bank agreed that it will not take a deduction for any compensation paid in excess of $500,000 to any named executive officer which would not be deductible if Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)(5) applied to the Bank. The Bank’s compensation levels are less than $500,000; therefore, this agreement does not affect the named executive officers’ levels of compensation.

The differential between salary levels for each of the named executives received a contribution of 2% ofis primarily driven by their base pay for 2008.

Split Dollar Plan

Life insurance was provided only to Mr. Dakey, former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, under an endorsement split-dollar arrangement which provides a split-dollar share of death benefitsrespective positions with consideration also given to the executive’s beneficiary, depending upon the executive’s eligibility to receive payments. The plan is funded with bank-owned life insurance (BOLI)experience and was used to provide an additional benefit to Mr. Dakey during his employment. Split-dollar life insurance plans are widely availabletime in the banking industry, because the bank will recover its plan costs upon the death of the executive, and the executive’s beneficiary will receive a split of the insurance proceeds. Although this benefit does not provide any current remuneration to the executive, it provided the bank with a mechanism to use to attract, retain and reward highly qualified executives, and it also provided incentive for longevity with the bank.

Salary Continuation Agreement

The bank provided a salary continuation agreement to Mr. Dakey only. The agreement was designed to account for some of the limitations with traditional pension plans and to encourage Mr. Dakey to remain an employee of the bank through retirement. Pursuant to his severance agreement, he has become 50% vested. Salary continuation agreements are typical in the financial services industry, and the amount payable under the agreement is also consistent with what is expected in the financial services industry.

Executive Deferred Compensation Agreement and Executive Deferred Bonus Agreement

In an effort to offer Mr. Dakey an additional method of saving for retirement and to account for some of the limitations with traditional pension plans, the bank maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan in which he was eligible to participate. The plan was designed to encourage Mr. Dakey to remain an employee of the bank by allowing him to defer a portion of his income to be paid out in the event of retirement, early termination, disability, a change of control or death. Interest is credited semi-annually at 2% above the 5-year Treasury rate.

Executive Agreements

On September 1, 2007, Mid Penn Bank entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Alan W. Dakey, former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The bank was aware that Executive Employment Agreements are common in the banking industry for chief executive officers. Mr. Dakey’s executive employment agreement contained standard terms and conditions compared to employment agreements in place for chief executive officers of comparable Pennsylvania banks of similar size. Upon resignation, Mr. Dakey negotiated a severance agreement with Mid Penn Bank whereby he was paid under the Employment Agreement as if he were terminated without cause. The Bank agreed to the severance agreement in exchange for a release from Mr. Dakey.

On April 1, 2008, the corporation entered into a change of control agreement with Kevin Laudenslager, the bank’s chief financial officer. Under the agreement, Mr. Laudenslager will receive a lump-sum payment equal to two times his base salary if he is terminated after a change of control or if he terminates employment for good reason, as defined in the agreement, after a change in control. The Compensation Committee believed that it was appropriate to enter into the agreement with Mr. Laudenslager because he has substantial knowledge, ability, and experience, which are beneficial to the successful operation of the corporation. Additionally, by entering into the agreement, the corporation is giving Mr. Laudenslager the security of knowing that he will receive compensation if he is terminated or terminates for good reason after a change in control during the time of his transition from the corporation to another company. In exchange for receiving the change in control, Mr. Laudenslager has agreed to noncompetition provisions restricting his working for a competitor after a change in control, soliciting clients and employees.their respective positions.

Triggering Events in ContractsExecutive Agreements

The triggering events contained in Mr. Dakey’s Employment Agreement wereRitrievi’s employment agreement are termination without cause, termination after a change of control and termination for good reason. The triggering events in Mr. Laudenslager’s change of control agreement are a termination without cause or a termination for good reason after a change of control. The Compensation Committee wanted to provide Mr. DakeyMessrs. Ritrievi and Mr. Laudenslager with the security of knowing that if he is terminated in one of those scenarios, he would receive some form of compensation during the

transition phase from working for the corporationCorporation/Bank to finding another position. The Compensation Committee believes that the triggering events in these agreements are appropriate in that they encouraged Mr. Dakeyencourage Messrs. Ritrievi and Mr. Laudenslager to act in the best interests of the shareholders in evaluating any change of control opportunities and keptkeep them focused on running the corporationCorporation in the face of real or rumored corporate transactions. In addition, each contract contains a non-competition provision, whereby the executive is not allowed to compete with the corporationCorporation or solicit customers of the corporationCorporation for a specific period of time.

Material Differences in Named Executive Officers’ Compensation

The Compensation Committee determined the amount and type of compensation to be awarded to the named executive officers based on the salary and benefit survey information provided by the compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee considers the salary ranges for the particular positions and has maintained executive salaries in the salary ranges for these executive positions. The Compensation Committee considers the performance of each named executive as another consideration in determining annual base salary increases. There were no material differences in the percentage of salary adjustments among the named executive officers. The differential between salary levels for each of the named executives is primarily driven by salary differentials in the salary survey with consideration also given to the experience and time in their respective positions.

Accounting and Tax Treatments

There were no decisions or changes made to compensation or benefit plans as a result of accounting and/or tax treatments. As part of the TARP requirements, as further discussed below, the bank agreed that it will not take a deduction for any compensation paid in excess of $500,000 to any named executive officer which would not be deductible if Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)(5) applied to the bank. The bank’s compensation levels are less than $500,000; therefore, this agreement does not affect the named executive officers’ levels of compensation.

Equity Compensation Plans

The corporation does not maintain any equity compensation plans or stock options for executives or board members. The Board has determined that stock options are not consistent with the corporation’s philosophy and approach to compensation. Cash compensation is deemed the more appropriate form of payment.

TARP Requirements

In December 2008, Mr. Laudenslager’s change of control agreement, the only executive compensation agreement with a named executive officer in place as of December 2008, was amended to provide for a gross-down provision in the event that the payments under the change in control agreement were considered parachute payments under the Internal Revenue Code. This change was a requirement of the Interim Final Rule promulgated pursuant to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”).

Additionally, the Compensation Committee met with the senior risk officer to identify those incentives for executives that may cause the executives to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the bank. There were none. The Compensation Committee also discussed and reviewed the relationship between the bank’s risk management policies and practices and the named executive officers’ compensation arrangements.

The executive compensation for named executive officers does not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk taking as the majority of compensation is in the form of base salary. The bank’s compensation programs do not encourage executives to take excessive and unnecessary risks as their compensation is not directly tied to specific corporation performance metrics with the exception of the formulized bonus plan which is based upon the bank’s performance compared to its peers and the Commercial Lender’s Incentive Plan which contains mechanisms for reducing bonus payments based upon a qualitative assessment of the loans.

The bank’s bonus plans were amended in February 2009 to comply with the clawback provisions mandated in The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which requires a provision in the plan for the recovery by the bank of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to a named executive officer and any of the next 20 most highly compensated employees based on statements of earnings, gains, or other criteria that are later proven to be materially inaccurate. The named executive officers alsohave signed an omnibus agreement agreeing to have their compensation limited by the mandates contained in The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, if applicable.

Additionally, the Compensation Committee met with the Senior Risk Officer and reviewed the Corporation’s and Bank’s compensation plans and has determined that the plans do not encourage any employee to take unnecessary and excessive risks, do not pose unnecessary risks to the Corporation or Bank, and do not contain features which would encourage the manipulation of earnings.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management, and based on the review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the corporation’sCorporation’s proxy statement.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS

AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

Mr. Alan W. Dakey,The Corporation has no Compensation Committee interlocks. Messrs. Mowery, Coxon, DeSoto, Grubic, Sauve and Specht constitute all of the directors who served on the Compensation Committee at any time during 2010. Each of them is an independent outside director. None of them is a current or former officer or employee of the Corporation. During 2010, the Bank engaged in customary banking transactions and had outstanding loans to certain of its directors, executive officers, members of the immediate families of certain directors and executive officers, and their associates. These loans were made in the ordinary course of business and were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to the lender. In the opinion of management, these loans do not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. Edwin D. Schlegel, Chairman of the Board, and Rory G. Ritrievi, President and Chief Executive Officer of the corporation,Corporation, attended Compensation Committee meetings only when and to the extent requested by the committee. HeCommittee.

Mid Penn Bank Retirement Plan/401(k) Plan

The corporationCorporation does not maintain a defined benefit pension plan. The bank,Bank, however, maintains the Mid Penn Bank Retirement Plan, created in 1949, restated in 1994, and last amended in 2007, which covers all bankBank employees who meet eligibility requirements. The Board of Directors instituted a 401(k) Plan as part of the Retirement Plan effective January 1, 2007 for all bankBank employees who satisfy eligibility requirements. Eligible employees are entitled to receive a share of the bank’sBank’s contribution to the plan if they are bankBank employees on December 31st. For the year 2008,2010, the Board approved a matching contribution rate of 50% of the employee contribution, up to a maximum bankBank contribution of 3%. The Board maintains the right to adjust its matching rate on an annual basis.

The annual contribution to the Retirement Plan is determined by the bank’sBank’s Board of Directors based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. The contributions to the Retirement Plan are paid to a trust fund that is administered by the bank’sBank’s Trust Department. A participating employee is allocated a share of the net income of the trust fund and the increase or decrease in the fair market value of its assets on the basis of such employee’s beginning of the plan year account balance, plus forfeitures of unvested balances from employees who terminated employment, less any payments as compared to the total beginning account balances, less payments to all the participating employees. A notice of the account balance is given to participating employees annually.

Distributions under the plan can be made to participating employees upon retirement, either normal or early retirement as defined in the plan, at death or disability of the participating employee or upon severing employment if either partially or fully vested. The plan provides for

percentage vesting of 20% for the first full two years of service increasing annually thereafter to 100% vesting after six full years of participation. The plan provides for an accelerated vesting schedule in the event it becomes top-heavy.

Management cannot determine the extent of the benefits that any participating employee may be entitled to receive under the plan on the date of termination of employment because the amount of the benefits is dependent, among other things, upon the bank’sBank’s future earnings, the participants’ future compensation and the future earnings of the plan’s trust fund. As of December 31, 2008,2010, the total market value of the Employee Profit SharingMid Penn Bank Retirement FundPlan was approximately $3,891,776,$4,784,631, which does not include the 401(k) Plan. As of December 31, 2008,2010, there were no shares of Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. common stock in the plan.

Contributions the bank paid to the plan were $270,522 for 2008, including the employer match for the 401(k) Plan. The bank contributed $5,569 in 2008 to the plan for Mr. Dakey,

former Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the corporation and the bank; $4,359 for Mr. Laudenslager, Senior Executive Vice President and Northern Region President/Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the bank; and $4,810 for Mr. Williams, Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer of the bank. In addition, the bank made matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan in 2008 of $5,569 for Mr. Dakey, $3,270 for Mr. Laudenslager and $3,608 for Mr. Williams. As of February 17, 2009, Mr. Dakey had 16 years of credited service under the plan. Mr. Laudenslager and Mr. Williams had 24 and 8 years of credited service under the plan, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Effective January 1, 1998, the Board of Directors adopted the Mid Penn Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan for all bankBank employees and its subsidiaries who satisfy length of service requirements. The Plan was last amended in 2007. Participants do not contribute to the plan. The Plan invests in shares of Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. stock, holding 47,99542,270.6716 shares as of December 31, 2008.2010. Each year the bankBank may, in its discretion, contribute to the ESOP.

As of December 31, 2008,2010, the total market value of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan was approximately $1,093,581. In 2008,$330,118.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such term shall not be longer than twenty-nine months. During his disability leave, Mr. Ritrievi will receive all other benefits due under the agreement. If he dies, the agreement and all benefits under it automatically terminate at the close of the calendar week in which his death occurs. Upon termination by the Bank of Mr. Ritrievi’s employment, other than for cause or upon notice of termination of the agreement, the Corporation shall pay Mr. Ritrievi his full base salary through the date of termination and an amount equal to two times his annual base salary for the previous twenty-four months paid in two lump sums over a one-year period, which is subject to an excise tax reduction, and one year of benefits. Additionally, if Mr. Ritrievi terminates his employment

following a change in control or for good reason (as defined in the agreement), the Bank shall pay Mr. Ritrievi his full base salary through the date of termination and an amount equal to two times his annual base salary for the previous twenty-four months paid in two lump sums over a one-year period, which is subject to an excise tax reduction, and one year of benefits. Mr. Ritrievi is subject to customary non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions.

On April 1, 2008, the Corporation entered into a change of control agreement with Kevin Laudenslager. Under the agreement, Mr. Laudenslager will receive a lump-sum payment equal to two times his base salary if he is terminated after a change of control or if he terminates employment for good reason, as defined in the agreement, after a change in control. The Compensation Committee believed that it was appropriate to enter into the agreement with Mr. Laudenslager because of his substantial knowledge, ability and experience, which are beneficial to the successful operation of the Corporation. Additionally, by entering into the agreement, the Corporation is giving Mr. Laudenslager the security of knowing that he will receive compensation if he is terminated or terminates for good reason after a change in control during the time of his transition from the Corporation to another company. In exchange for receiving the change in control, Mr. Laudenslager has agreed to non-competition provisions restricting his working for a competitor after a change in control, soliciting clients and employees.

The Corporation was subject to Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) during 2010, including on December 31, 2010. TARP prohibits the payment of certain amounts deemed to be bonuses or “golden parachutes.” TARP defines the term “golden parachute payment” to mean any payment for the departure for any reason, or any payment due to a change in control, except for payment for services performed or benefits accrued. A golden parachute payment includes the acceleration of vesting due to the departure or the change in control event, as applicable. A golden parachute payment does not include payments made (i) pursuant to a qualified pension or retirement plan, (ii) due to the employee’s death or disability, or (iii) severance required to be made pursuant to a state statute. Accordingly, the Corporation is prohibited from making certain of the payments described above because of its participation in TARP.

PROPOSAL NO. 2: AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

Background

Article 7 of Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc.’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, currently provides that no merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of the corporation, nor any action that would result in the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation, shall be valid unless first approved by the affirmative vote of: the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation; or the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation, provided that such transaction has received the prior approval of at least eighty percent (80%) of all of the members of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors believes that the supermajority shareholder vote requirements of Article 7 should not apply to a merger in which the corporation is the surviving entity if the transaction has received the prior approval of at least 80% of the members of the Board of Directors. Eliminating the supermajority shareholder vote requirement in such a situation could improve flexibility and reduce inefficiencies and costs of such a transaction. Therefore, the Board of Directors is proposing that a new final sentence be added to Article 7 to exclude from Article 7’s requirements a merger in which the corporation is the surviving entity if the transaction has received the prior approval of at least 80% of the members of the Board of Directors. The proposed amendment does not eliminate an 80% shareholder vote requirement for a merger in which the corporation is the surviving entity if the transaction does not receive the prior approval of 80% of the members of the Board of Directors.

If the proposed amendment is approved, a merger in which the corporation is the surviving entity in a transaction receiving the prior approval of at least 80% of the members of the Board of Directors will require shareholder approval only when required by applicable law. Applicable Pennsylvania law does not require shareholder approval of all mergers in which a corporation is the surviving corporation. When applicable Pennsylvania law does require approval of a merger by a surviving corporation’s shareholders, the general standard for approval is a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders entitled to vote on the transaction.

Resolution

Accordingly, the Board of Directors has approved and is submitting for approval and adoption by the shareholders the following resolution:

“Resolved, that Article 7 of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation be further amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

7.No merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, nor any action that would result in the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall be valid unless first approved by the affirmative vote of:

(a)the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation; or

(b)

the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, provided that such transaction has received the prior approval of at least eighty percent (80%) of all of the members of the Board of Directors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article 7 shall not apply to a merger pursuant to which the Corporation is the surviving entity if such transaction has received the prior approval of at least eighty percent (80%) of all of the members of the Board of Directors.”

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

Because the proposed amendment has received the prior approval of at least 80% of the members of the Board of Directors, approval and adoption by the shareholders of the resolution to amend Article 7 of the Articles of Incorporation will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation entitled to vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE 7 OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, AS AMENDED.

PROPOSAL NO. 3:NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

President Obama signed into law on February 17, 2009, theThe American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 which amended Section 111 of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 to require companies participating in the Capital Purchase Program under the Troubled Asset Relief Program to permit a non-binding shareholder vote to approve the compensation of executives as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the tabular disclosure regarding named executive officers found in this proxy statement. On December 19, 2008, the United States Department of the Treasury purchased $10 million of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, under the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program and is submitting the following resolution for the approval of ourthe shareholders:

“Resolved, that the shareholders hereby approve the executive compensation, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the tabular disclosure (together with the accompanying narrative disclosure), regarding named executive officers in this proxy statement.”

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors.Board. However, the Compensation Committee will take into consideration the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION, AS DESCRIBED IN THE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND THE TABULAR DISCLOSURE REGARDING NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (TOGETHER WITH THE ACCOMPANYING NARRATIVE DISCLOSURE) IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

COMPLIANCE WITH PROPOSAL NO. 3: RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF

PARENTEBEARD LLC AS THE CORPORATION’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2011

The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed ParenteBeard LLC as its independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2011. Services provided to the Corporation and the Bank by ParenteBeard LLC in 2010 are described under the “Audit Committee Report,” above.

The Corporation is asking its shareholders to ratify the selection of ParenteBeard LLC as its independent registered public accounting firm. Although this ratification is not required by the Corporation’s By-laws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection to its shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice.

Representatives of ParenteBeard LLC will be present at the annual meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make such statements as they may desire.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PARENTEBEARD LLC AS THE CORPORATION’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2011.

No determination has been made as to what action the Audit Committee would take if shareholders do not ratify the appointment. In order to provide greater certainty with respect to auditing fees and costs, during 2009, the Corporation engaged ParenteBeard LLC as its independent auditors for a three-year period. In the event that shareholders do not ratify the appointment of ParenteBeard LLC, the Audit Committee would take a number of factors into account in determining its course of action, including its evaluation of the services provided by ParenteBeard LLC and the remaining term of the Corporation’s engagement of ParenteBeard LLC. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Corporation.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEE

CODE OF ETHICS

PLEASE MARK VOTES AS IN THIS EXAMPLE

REVOCABLE PROXY

MID PENN BANCORP, INC.

                For

With- 

hold 

For All 

Except 

Last Revision Date:January 24, 2007

The Directors, the CEO, the CFO, the employees and individuals designated as “Insiders” in Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. and Mid Penn Bank (the “Company”) hold an important and elevated role in corporate governance. They are vested with both the responsibility and authority to protect and preserve the interests of all of the Company’s constituents, including shareholders, customers and citizens of the communities in which we conduct business. The maintenance of extremely high standards of honest, ethical and impartial conduct is essential to assure the proper performance of the Company’s business and the maintenance of the public’s trust. This Code of Ethics prescribes the policies and procedures to be employed and enforced in the Company’s operations.

It is your responsibility to comply with the law and behave in an ethical manner. This responsibility cannot be delegated or assumed by the Company.

This Code cannot anticipate every possible situation or cover every topic in detail. From time-to-time the Company may establish compliance programs to address specific subjects or you may find certain topics also covered in the Employee Reference Handbook. If you are unclear about a situation, seek guidance before taking action.

The standards in this Code do not necessarily take into account all legal requirements. Where more restrictive local laws or requirements exist, those take precedence.

You must comply with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. Failure to obey laws and regulations violates this Code and may expose both you and the Company to criminal or civil prosecution. Any violation of this Code or other compliance programs may result in corrective action, up to and including termination. The Company may also seek civil remedies from you and even refer criminal misconduct to law enforcement agencies.

You are responsible for reporting suspected violations of this Code to our Corporate Compliance Officer or by following the procedures in the Whistleblower Policy located in the Company’s Employee Reference Handbook.

If you have a question about a topic covered in this Code, please review Mid Penn’s Employee Reference Handbook.If you still have a concern regarding any unethical or illegal conduct, please contact our Corporate Compliance Officer or follow the guidelines in the “Whistleblower” section of the Company’s Employee Reference Handbook.

Conflicts of Interest

A “conflict of interest” exists any time you face a choice between what is in your personal interest (financial or otherwise) and the interest of the Company. These situations are not always easy to avoid. When a conflict of interest arises, it is important that you act with great care to avoid even the appearance that your actions were not in the best interest of the Company. If you find yourself in a position where your objectivity may be questioned because of individual interest or family or personal relationships, notify our Corporate Compliance Officer immediately.

Ownership Interests

Board of Directors approval is required for the Company to do business with a company in which a member of the Board of Directors, an officer, an employee or a family member of a director, officer or employee owns – directly or indirectly – an interest. Any loan requests by executive officers and directors will need final approval by the Board of Directors and must be in compliance with Regulation O.

Gifts, Meals, Services and Entertainment

You should not request or accept anything that might be used as a means to influence, or even appear to influence, you against the Company’s best interests. Personal gifts should not be accepted other than those considered common business courtesies and for which you would reasonably expect to give something similar in return in the normal course of business.

Safeguarding Company Assets/Accuracy of Books and Records

The Company maintains internal controls to provide direction on protecting Company assets and financial accountability. The controls are based upon the following principles.


Do not:

Make personal use of Company assets that creates any additional costs for the Company, interferes with work duties or violates any Company policies;

Allow Company property to be used to help carry out illegal acts;

Manipulate financial accounts, records or reports for personal gain;

Maintain off-the-book accounts to facilitate questionable or illegal payments; or

Violate any law or regulation.

Do:

Ensure effective internal controls and procedures are designed and implemented;

Prepare project budget proposals with accurate information;

Maintain books, accounts and records according to generally accepted accounting principles, using enough detail to reflect accurately and fairly Company transactions;

Record transactions in a timely manner, so that no misleading financial information is created. (These transactions include, but are not limited to, income, expense, indebtedness, obligation, reserves and acquisition or disposition of assets, etc.); and

Give full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in any and all periodic reports filed with the Securities Exchange Commission and other public communications made by the Company.

All employees, officers and directors are required to respond honestly and candidly when dealing with the bank’s independent and internal auditors, regulators and attorneys.

Safeguarding Confidential Information

Trade secrets and other proprietary information of the Company and its customers and suppliers, employee data, information about the Company’s customers and suppliers, and all other non-public information that might be of use to the Company’s competitors or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed, is confidential information. Confidential information should be protected by all Covered Persons and, except to the extent legally required or specifically authorized by an appropriate representative of the Company, should not be disclosed to persons inside or outside the Company who do not have a legitimate, work-related need to know such information. The loss of this information through inadvertent or improper disclosure could be harmful to the Company and its customers and suppliers.

Insider Trading

Insider trading is a crime that can carry severe penalties. If you know material, confidential information about the Company or any company with whom we have a business relationship and you trade Company securities, such as stocks or bonds, while in possession of that information or tell others about it before it is made public, you may have violated the insider trading laws.Please review the Insider Trading Policy and the Employee Handbook for details on our insider trading policy.

Material information is the type of news that would affect a reasonable investor’s decision on whether or not to invest in the Company’s stock. Examples include plans to issue securities, sharp changes in earnings patterns, changes in dividend rates, changes in key management personnel, mergers, acquisitions, and important regulatory actions affecting the Company. This policy forbids you from trading not only in Company stock, but also in stock of our suppliers, customers or other companies with whom we have a business relationship, while in possession of material inside information, learned in the course of your employment at our Company.

We encourage all members of the Board of Directors, officers and employees to invest in our stock. However, if you have access to any information not readily available to the public, you must be very careful when trading stock to be sure you have not traded while in possession of material non-public information. When you have such information:

Do not tell anyone not authorized to have the information. A casual remark to a friend may find its way to a broker and eventually to the entire financial community thereby requiring the Company to make a premature or unplanned public announcement. This “tipping” may be illegal and damaging to the Company.

In compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, do not trade and trading is prohibited in the Company’s stock (or that of an applicable outside company) until the news has been made public for at least two full business days. Circumstances suggesting the possibility of insider trading may result in an investigation by governmental authorities of the Company and stockbroker records of stock trading transactions. This investigation could damage our Company’s reputation and result in liability or penalties, including criminal charges and fines against the individual.

This policy against insider trading also covers transfers into and out of the Company stock or savings plans and changes in patterns involving purchases of our stock within the plans. However, generally, regular scheduled purchases of the Company stock within plans are not prohibited.


If you are planning to effect a transaction in our securities, you must contact our Corporate Compliance Officer in advance.

Bribery, Kickbacks and Other Improper Payments

The Company, our Board of Directors, officers and employees must maintain high ethical and professional standards in all dealings.

Do not directly or indirectly promise, offer or make payment in money or anything of value to anyone, including a government official, agent or employee of a government, political party, labor organization or business entity or a candidate of a political party, with the intent to induce favorable business treatment or to improperly affect business or governmental decisions.

Our Code does not take into account all local legal requirements. Where more restrictive local laws exist, those take precedence. In general, the Company does not consider ordinary and reasonable business entertainment or gifts of insubstantial value that are customary and legal in the local market to be improper.

Document any entertainment of and gifts to customers and potential customers.

Loans are not made by the Company to its Board members, officers or employees. Loans may be made by our banking subsidiaries and will comply with all federal and state laws, statutes and regulations.

Do not solicit for yourself or for a third party (other than the Company itself) anything of value from anyone in return for any business, service or confidential information of the Company.

Do not accept anything of value (other than bona fide salary, wages and fees referred to in 18 U.S.C. 215(c)) from anyone in connection with the business of the Company, either before or after a transaction is discussed or consummated.

Reporting Standards

Full, fair, accurate, and timely reporting of all financial matters is a high priority. Periodic reports to the SEC and other regulatory entities must be comprehensive, timely, and accurate. Any discrepancies or shortcomings discovered through the reporting process must immediately be brought to the attention of senior management, and where appropriate, the Audit Committee and Board of Directors. In the event you feel that your reporting of these issues is not adequately resolving the issue, you should follow the procedures described in the Whistleblower Policy as contained in the Company’s Employee Reference Handbook.

Vacancies on the Compensation Committee shall be filled by majority vote of the Board following the occurrence of the vacancy. The members of the Compensation Committee may be removed by a majority vote of the Board.

3. Authority and Responsibilities of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee’s primary responsibility is to assure that the senior executives of the Company and its subsidiaries are compensated effectively in a manner consistent with the stated compensation strategy of the Company, internal equity considerations, competitive practice, and the requirements of the appropriate regulatory bodies. The Committee will also review salary adjustments and compensation for all employees of the Company and shall review benefits programs offered by the Company.

The Compensation Committee shall also communicate to shareholders the Company’s compensation policies and the reasoning behind such policies as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

More specifically, the Compensation Committee shall be responsible for the following:

Review annually and determine the individual elements of total compensation for the Chief Executive Officer consistent with the Company’s compensation strategy and objectives and communicate in the annual Compensation Committee Report to shareholders the factors and criteria on which the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation for the last year was based, including the relationship of the Company’s performance to the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation.

If appropriate, hire experts in the field of executive compensation to assist the Compensation Committee with its reviews.
