Disclaimer Non-GAAP Financial Metrics This presentation contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Management believes that the disclosure of these “non-GAAP” financial measures presents additional information which, when read in conjunction with Park’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, assists in analyzing Park’s operating performance, ensures comparability of operating performance from period to period, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of Park’s peer financial holding companies, while eliminating certain non-operational effects of acquisitions. Additionally, Park believes this financial information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company’s financial condition, and therefore, such information is useful to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as substitutes for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided on pages 33 and 34 of this presentation.

Specialty Lending • Park has successfully operated in the specialty finance area, specifically focusing on turbo-prop and light jets and structured warehouse lending to non-bank consumer finance companies for many years. Net charge-offs in specialty lending have not materially impacted Park’s overall net charge-off rates over the last 10 years. • Park acquired Scope Leasing, Inc. in the mid-1990’s. Scope follows the same conservative underwriting posture as the commercial loan portfolio. Its lending team has years of industry experience and maintains a narrow focus as to acceptable aircraft. Scope had loans of $316 million or 4.6% of total loans, outstanding as of September 30, 2021. Scope offers aircraft loans from $200,000 to $5 million to individuals, small businesses, and major corporations across the country. • Park entered the structured warehouse lending business in 2008. It is a traditional asset-based lending line of business with daily cash collections, periodic customer audits, and an attractive risk/reward dynamic. The structured warehouse loans consist of loans to non- bank consumer finance companies throughout the nation. These asset-based loans are collateralized by cash flows from individuals, typically from auto loans financed by the non-bank consumer finance company. These loans have very conservative underwriting and are subject to intensive loan monitoring. Structured warehouse loans represented $307.6 million, or 4.5% of total loans, outstanding as of September 30, 2021. • Guardian Financial Services Company, a consumer finance company, had total assets of $5.4 million as of September 30, 2021, and since 2019 has been winding down and not sought new loans since March 31, 2020.

Loan Approval Process & Loan Review P A R K N A T I O N A L C O R P O R A T I O N 26 Loan Approval Process • While Park has a legal lending limit of approximately $139 million, its internal hold limit is $46 million. • Park’s highest individual lending authority is $3 million. • Loans which are greater than an individual’s lending authority go to the Park Commercial Loan Committee (“PCLC”) for approval. • Loans exceeding the PCLC approval limits must be approved by the Park Executive Committee. Loan Review & Special Assets • Park’s management team takes a very conservative approach to classification, primarily based on debt service coverage ratios. A credit will be placed on nonaccrual status with a debt service coverage ratio below 1.0x, and a credit with a lesser degree of stress may be labeled special mention. • Annually, loan review evaluates: • All commercial credit relationships with aggregate exposure over $1 million. • All commercial credit relationships with new notes between $250,000 and $1 million are reviewed based on risk-based sampling. • Remaining commercial credit relationships with aggregate exposure between $250,000 and $500,000 are selected based on risk-based sampling. • For the 2020-2021 loan review cycle, 80% of the commercial loan portfolio was reviewed. • Special Assets Committee consists of several bankers with extensive experience working to resolve problem credits acquired over the course of the 2008 financial crisis.
