Farmers National Banc Corp. Announces Management Succession

May 27, 2010, Canfield- The Board of Directors of Farmers National Banc Corp. announced today that, effective July 1, 2010, John S. Gulas will become President and Chief Executive Officer of both the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Farmers National Bank of Canfield. Mr. Gulas will succeed Frank L. Paden, who will remain as executive chairman of both Boards of Directors. In addition, Gulas will be appointed as an additional member of the Company’s Board of Directors, also effective July 1, 2010.

Mr. Gulas has been with Farmers National since July, 2008, serving as Chief Operating Officer of the Company and the Bank. Gulas is an Austintown native who graduated from both Austintown Fitch High School and YSU before receiving his Juris Doctorate from the University of Toledo College of Law. He came to Farmers with more than 25 years of bank management experience, including leadership roles at Sky Trust, UMB, Wachovia and Key Bank. Mr. Gulas stated, “I came back to the Valley because I saw tremendous opportunity for Farmers National Bank. Despite the recent financial crisis, Farmers has continued to serve its customers well. We have experienced strong growth where other banks have struggled to survive. I believe Farmers is well-positioned for the future.”

Over the past two years, Gulas is credited with engineering an era of managed growth at Farmers. During that time, the Company has grown to over $1 billion in assets, acquired the Farmers Trust Company, grew the wealth management division to include an insurance agency, and grew the loan portfolio over 10%. Board member Ron Wertz, who will serve as Lead Director of the Company’s Board, noted “The Board supported John as the person to succeed Frank in this key executive leadership role as part of our management succession plan. John has grown to know this Company well and he is committed to its continuing success and viability. We are confident that his forward-thinking leadership style will be a continued asset for both the Company and its shareholders.”

Frank Paden, who has served at Farmers National Bank for over 35 years helped to create this succession plan. “I am proud to be a leader of this community bank that has helped

countless local families buy a home, save for their children’s education and plan for retirement. We have helped finance local businesses as they started, grew and provided jobs and services to our local economy. As Farmers has grown, we have built a talented management team that supports our mission and has contributed to our success. I look forward to remaining actively involved in charting the course for our future by serving as Chairman of the Boards of Farmers National Banc Corp. and Farmers National Bank,” stated Paden. Paden will concentrate on a broader strategic role as a member of the Farmers team.
