Dear Shareholder:
On December 20, 2022, Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc., or Mid Penn, and Brunswick Bancorp, or Brunswick, entered into a merger agreement under which Brunswick will merge with and into Mid Penn, with Mid Penn remaining as the surviving entity.

The common stock of Mid Penn trades on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “MPB”. On December 19, 2022, which was the last trading date preceding the public announcement of the proposed merger, the closing price of Mid Penn common stock was Thirty Dollars and Ninety-Five cents ($30.95) per share.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER AND THE SPECIAL MEETINGS
The following questions and answers briefly address some commonly asked questions about the merger (as defined below) and the shareholder meetings. They may not include all the information that is important to the shareholders of Mid Penn and Brunswick. Shareholders of Mid Penn and Brunswick should each read carefully this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and other documents referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Questions about the Merger
Q:What is the merger?
A:Mid Penn and Brunswick have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 20, 2022 which is referred to as the “merger agreement.” A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to, and is incorporated by reference in, this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The merger agreement contains the terms and conditions of the proposed business combination of Mid Penn and Brunswick. Under the merger agreement, Brunswick will merge with and into Mid Penn, with Mid Penn remaining as the surviving entity. We refer to this transaction as the “merger.” Immediately following the merger, Brunswick Bank & Trust Company, a wholly owned bank subsidiary of Brunswick, will merge with and into Mid Penn’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, Mid Penn Bank, with Mid Penn Bank as the surviving bank, and the separate corporate existence of Brunswick Bank & Trust Company will cease. We refer to this transaction as the “bank merger.” We refer to the merger and the bank merger collectively as the “mergers.”
Following the completion of the mergers, the merger agreement provides that Mid Penn will continue to operate the branches of Brunswick Bank & Trust Company.
Q:    Why am I receiving these materials?
A:    This document constitutes both a joint proxy statement of Mid Penn and Brunswick and a prospectus of Mid Penn. It is a joint proxy statement because the boards of directors of both companies are soliciting proxies from their respective shareholders. It is a prospectus because Mid Penn will issue shares of its common stock in exchange for shares of Brunswick common stock in the merger.
Mid Penn is providing this joint proxy statement/prospectus to its shareholders because the Mid Penn Board of Directors is soliciting their proxy for use at the Mid Penn special meeting of shareholders at which the Mid Penn shareholders will consider and vote on (i) approval and adoption of the merger agreement which provides for, among other things, the merger of Brunswick with and into Mid Penn (the “Mid Penn merger proposal”), (ii) approval of an amendment to Mid Penn’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 shares (“Mid Penn amendment proposal 1”), (iii) approval of an amendment to Mid Penn’s Articles of Incorporation to limit the transactions requiring approval of our shareholders by a supermajority vote (“Mid Penn amendment proposal 2”) and (iv) approval of the authorization of the board of directors to adjourn the Mid Penn special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies, in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the other proposals (the “Mid Penn adjournment proposal”). See “The Mid Penn Special Meeting,” beginning on page 87 for more information.
Brunswick is providing this joint proxy statement/prospectus to its shareholders because the Brunswick Board of Directors is soliciting their proxy for use at the Brunswick special meeting of shareholders at which the Brunswick shareholders will consider and vote on (i) approval and adoption of the merger agreement which provides for, among other things, the merger of Brunswick with and into Mid Penn (the “Brunswick merger proposal”) and (ii) approval of the authorization of the board of directors to adjourn the Brunswick special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies, in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the Brunswick merger proposal (the “Brunswick adjournment proposal”). See “The Brunswick Special Meeting,” beginning on page 93 for more information.

Information about these meetings, the merger and the other business to be considered at the meetings is contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The merger cannot be completed unless the shareholders of Mid Penn and Brunswick each approve the merger.
Q:    Why is Mid Penn proposing the merger?
A:    The Mid Penn board of directors, in unanimously determining that the merger is in the best interests of Mid Penn, considered a number of key factors that are described under the heading “The Merger—Mid Penn’s Reasons for the Merger,” beginning on page 49.
Q:    Why is Brunswick proposing the merger?
A:    The Brunswick board of directors, in unanimously determining that the merger is in the best interests of Brunswick, considered a number of key factors that are described under the heading “The Merger—Brunswick’s Reasons for the Merger,” beginning on page 37.
Q:    What will Brunswick shareholders receive in the merger, and how will this affect holders of Mid Penn common stock?
A:    Upon completion of the merger, Brunswick shareholders will be entitled to elect to receive, subject to adjustment and proration as described in the merger agreement, either (A) 0.598 shares of Mid Penn common stock (the “Stock Consideration”) or (B) Eighteen Dollars ($18.00) (the “Cash Consideration” and together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), for each share of Mid Penn common stock they own. While the Merger Consideration is fixed, the Stock Consideration and Cash Consideration are subject to adjustment depending on Brunswick’s consolidated shareholders’ equity as of certain measuring dates (as described in the merger agreement).
The market price of Mid Penn common stock will fluctuate before the completion of the merger; therefore, you are urged to obtain current market quotations for Mid Penn common stock.
Because of the number of shares of Mid Penn common stock being issued in the merger, the percentage ownership interest in Mid Penn represented by the existing shares of Mid Penn common stock will be diluted. Mid Penn shareholders will not receive any merger consideration and will continue to own their existing shares of Mid Penn common stock after the merger.
Q:    What equity stake will Brunswick shareholders hold in Mid Penn immediately following the merger?
A:    Following completion of the merger, current Mid Penn shareholders will own in the aggregate approximately ninety-four and six tenths percent (94.6%) of the outstanding shares of Mid Penn common stock and Brunswick shareholders will own approximately five and four tenths percent (5.4%) of the outstanding shares of Mid Penn common stock.
Q:    What happens if I am eligible to receive a fraction of a share of Mid Penn common stock as part of the merger consideration?
A:    If the aggregate number of shares of Mid Penn common stock that you are entitled to receive as part of the merger consideration includes a fraction of a share of Mid Penn common stock, you will receive cash in lieu of that fractional share. For each fractional share that would otherwise be issued, Mid Penn will pay cash in an amount equal to the fraction multiplied by Eighteen Dollars ($18.00). See the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Consideration to be Received in the Merger” beginning on page 69 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Q:    Who will be the directors and executive officers of the combined company following the merger?
A:    Following completion of the merger, the then current directors and executive officers of Mid Penn and Mid Penn Bank will continue in office and one (1) of the current directors of Brunswick selected by the board of
2


directors of Brunswick, with the approval of Mid Penn’s board of directors, will be added to the board of directors of Mid Penn.
Q:    When do you expect to complete the merger?
A:    Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions as contemplated by the merger agreement, including receipt of shareholder approvals at the respective special meetings of Mid Penn and Brunswick and receipt of regulatory approvals, we currently expect to complete the merger in the second quarter of 2023. It is possible, however, that factors outside of either company’s control could result in us completing the merger at a later time or not completing it at all.
Q:    What happens if the merger is not completed?
A:    If the merger is not completed, Brunswick shareholders will not receive any consideration for their shares of common stock in connection with the merger. Instead, Brunswick will remain an independent company and its common stock will continue to be quoted on the OTC Pink Market. Under specified circumstances, Brunswick may be required to pay to Mid Penn a fee with respect to the termination of the merger agreement. For more information, please review the sections entitled “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement” and “Termination Fee” beginning on page 81.
Q:    How will the merger affect Brunswick equity awards?
A:    Brunswick equity awards will be affected as follows:
Stock Options: At the effective time of the merger, each option to purchase shares of Brunswick common stock outstanding immediately before the effective time of the merger, whether or not vested, will be canceled and exchanged for a cash payment equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Brunswick common stock that are issuable upon exercise of such option and (y) the Cash Consideration, less the per share exercise price of such option, without interest.
Restricted Stock: At the effective time of the merger, each share of Brunswick restricted stock that is outstanding immediately before the effective time shall vest in full and shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to the merger agreement, less applicable withholding tax, and treating shares of Brunswick common stock subject to such Brunswick restricted stock in the same manner as all other shares of Brunswick common stock for such purposes.
Q:    What are the federal income tax consequences of the merger?
A:    The merger has been structured to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which is referred to as the Internal Revenue Code. It is a condition to the completion of the merger that each of Mid Penn and Brunswick receive a written opinion from their respective legal counsel to the effect that the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, Brunswick shareholders generally will only recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount not to exceed the cash (if any) received as part of the merger consideration but will recognize gain or loss (1) if such holder received the entirety of its consideration in cash or (2) with respect to any cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Mid Penn common stock. See “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 84.
This tax treatment may not apply to all Brunswick shareholders. Determining the actual tax consequences of the merger to Brunswick shareholders can be complicated. Brunswick shareholders should consult their own tax advisor for a full understanding of the merger’s tax consequences that are particular to each shareholder. For further discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, see “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger,” beginning on page 84.

Voting by Internet. If you are a registered shareholder, you may vote electronically through the Internet by following the instructions included on your proxy card. If your shares are registered in the name of a broker or other nominee, you may be able to vote via the Internet. If so, the voting form your nominee sends you will provide Internet instructions.
Voting by Phone. If you are a registered shareholder, you may vote by phone by calling (866) 883-0222. Remember to have your proxy card in hand when you call, and then follow the instructions.
Voting Virtually at the Special Meeting. Mid Penn shareholders may vote at the virtual meeting if they register at www.proxydocs.com/MPB by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 24, 2023, attend the virtual meeting on April 25, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time and then click on the “vote” link. Additional information regarding how to virtually attend and vote at the special meeting is included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and on the proxy card. If your shares are registered in the name of a broker or other nominee and you wish to vote at the special meeting, you may need to obtain a legal proxy from your bank or brokerage firm. Please consult the voting form sent to you by your bank or broker to determine how to obtain a legal proxy in order to vote at the special meeting.
Q:    Why is my vote important?
A:    Because the Mid Penn merger proposal and Mid Penn amendment proposal 2 cannot be approved without the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding shares of Mid Penn common stock at the Mid Penn special meeting and Mid Penn amendment proposal 1 and the Mid Penn adjournment proposal cannot be approved without the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, every shareholder’s vote is important.
Q:    If my shares of Mid Penn common stock are held in street name by my broker, will my broker automatically vote my shares for me?
A:    No. Your broker CANNOT vote your shares on any proposal at the Mid Penn special meeting without instructions from you. You should instruct your broker as to how to vote your shares, following the directions your broker provides to you.
Q:    What if I fail to instruct my broker?
A:    If you do not provide your broker with instructions, your broker generally will not be permitted to vote your shares on the merger proposal or any other proposal (a so-called “broker non-vote”) at the Mid Penn special meeting. Because the affirmative vote of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of outstanding Mid Penn shares is necessary to approve the Mid Penn merger proposal and Mid Penn amendment proposal 2, any broker non-votes submitted by brokers or nominees in connection with the special meeting will in effect be a vote against the merger. For purposes of determining the number of votes cast with respect to Mid Penn amendment proposal 1 and the Mid Penn adjournment proposal, only those votes cast “for” or “against” the proposals are counted. Any broker non-votes submitted by brokers or nominees in connection with the special meeting will not be counted as votes “for” or “against” for determining the number of votes cast and will not be treated as present for quorum purposes. If your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee holds your shares of Mid Penn common stock in “street name,” such entity will vote your shares of Mid Penn common stock only if you provide instructions on how to vote by complying with the voting instructions form sent to you by your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee with this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Q:    What constitutes a quorum for the Mid Penn special meeting?
A:    As of the Mid Penn record date, [l] shares of Mid Penn common stock were issued and outstanding, each of which will be entitled to one vote at the meeting. Under Mid Penn’s bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the special meeting. If you vote by proxy, your shares will be included for determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions are also included for
5


determining the presence of a quorum. If you fail to submit a proxy prior to the special meeting or to vote at the Mid Penn special meeting, your shares of Mid Penn common stock will not be counted towards a quorum.
Q:    Assuming the presence of a quorum, what is the vote required to approve the matters to be considered at the Mid Penn special meeting?
A:    The affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding shares of Mid Penn common stock at the Mid Penn special meeting is required to approve the Mid Penn merger proposal and Mid Penn amendment proposal 2 and the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the Mid Penn special meeting is required to approve Mid Penn amendment proposal 1 and the Mid Penn adjournment proposal. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Mid Penn merger proposal and Mid Penn amendment proposal 2, but will have no effect on Mid Penn amendment proposal 1 and the Mid Penn adjournment proposal.
Q:    Do I have appraisal or dissenters’ rights?
A:    No. Under Pennsylvania law, holders of Mid Penn common stock will not be entitled to exercise any appraisal rights in connection with the merger.
Q:    Can I attend the Mid Penn special meeting and vote my shares virtually?
A:    Yes, if you register at www.proxydocs.com/MPB by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 24, 2023. All shareholders, including shareholders of record and those who hold their shares through banks, brokers, nominees or any other holder of record, are invited to virtually attend the special meeting. Holders of record of Mid Penn common stock can vote virtually at the special meeting. If you are not a shareholder of record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the record holder of your shares, such as a broker, bank or other nominee, to be able to vote at the special meeting. If you plan to virtually attend the special meeting, you must hold your shares in your own name or have a letter from the record holder of your shares confirming your ownership. Additional information regarding attending and voting at the virtual special meeting is included above and in the proxy card included with this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Q:    Can I change my vote?
A:    Yes. You may revoke any proxy at any time before it is voted by (1) signing and returning a proxy card with a later date (if you submitted your proxy by Internet or by telephone, you can vote again by Internet or telephone), (2) delivering a written revocation letter to Mid Penn’s Corporate Secretary, or (3) virtually attending the special meeting, notifying the Corporate Secretary and voting at the special meeting. Mid Penn’s Corporate Secretary’s mailing address is Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc., 2407 Park Drive, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17110, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
Any shareholder entitled to vote virtually at the special meeting may vote regardless of whether a proxy has been previously given, and such vote will revoke any previous proxy, but the mere virtual presence (without notifying Mid Penn’s Corporate Secretary) of a shareholder at the special meeting will not constitute revocation of a previously given proxy. A shareholder may change his or her vote up and until the time that votes are counted but not thereafter.
Q:    How will proxies be solicited and who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the Mid Penn special meeting?
A:    Mid Penn has engaged Mediant to act as the proxy solicitor and to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Mid Penn special meeting of shareholders. Mid Penn has agreed to pay Mediant approximately $11,400, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, for such services and will also indemnify Mediant against certain claims, costs, damages, liabilities, and expenses.
Mid Penn will bear the cost of preparing and assembling these proxy materials for the Mid Penn special meeting. The cost of printing and mailing these proxy materials will be shared equally between Mid Penn
6


and Brunswick. The solicitation of proxies or votes for the Mid Penn special meeting may also be made in person, by telephone, or by electronic communication by Mid Penn’s directors, officers, and employees, none of whom will receive any additional compensation for such solicitation activities. In addition, Mid Penn may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding solicitation material to such beneficial owners.
Q:    Can additional proposals be presented at the Mid Penn special meeting?
A:    No. Other than the proposals described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, no additional matters can be presented for a vote at the special meeting.
Q:    Are there risks that I should consider in deciding whether to vote to approve the merger agreement?
A:    Yes. You should consider the risk factors set out in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 24 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Q:    What if I hold stock of both Mid Penn and Brunswick?
A:    If you hold shares of both Mid Penn and Brunswick, you will receive two separate packages of proxy materials. A vote as a Mid Penn shareholder for the Mid Penn merger proposal or the Mid Penn adjournment proposal will not constitute a vote as a Brunswick shareholder for the Brunswick merger proposal or any other proposals to be considered at the Brunswick special meeting, and vice versa. Therefore, please sign, date and return all proxy cards that you receive, whether from Mid Penn or Brunswick, or submit separate proxies as both a Mid Penn shareholder and a Brunswick shareholder as instructed.
Q:    Whom should I contact if I have additional questions?
A:    If you are a Mid Penn shareholder and have any questions about the merger, need assistance in submitting your proxy or voting your shares of Mid Penn common stock, or if you need additional copies of this document or the enclosed proxy card, you should contact Mediant, the proxy solicitor for Mid Penn, at 1.888.408.4059.

To achieve this, if the aggregate number of shares of Brunswick common stock with respect to which an election to receive one form of Merger Consideration is less than or exceeds fifty percent (50%) of all issued and outstanding shares immediately prior to the effective time, proration mechanisms will be applied to each Brunswick shareholder electing the form of Merger Consideration that is overelected so that cash election shares and stock election shares equal 50/50. Non-electing shares factor into the proration formula and will receive the form of Merger Consideration that is underelected so that the cash election shares and stock election shares each equal Fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate number of shares of Brunswick common stock immediately prior to the effective time. The specifics of the proration adjustments are described herein at “The Merger Agreement – Consideration to be Received in the Merger – Proration”.
Adjustment (page 70)
If Brunswick’s consolidated shareholders’ equity (calculated in accordance with the merger agreement) as of certain measuring dates is less than the Minimum Brunswick Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity (as defined in the merger agreement) on such dates, the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration will automatically be adjusted downward. Brunswick must have Minimum Brunswick Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity of (A) $43,600,000 if the Measuring Date (as defined in the merger agreement) is March 31, 2023, (B) $43,900,000 if the Measuring Date is April 30, 2023, (C) $44,200,000 if the Measuring Date is May 31, 2023 and (D) $44,500,000 if the Measuring Date is June 30, 2023. The specifics of this adjustment mechanism are described herein at “The Merger Agreement – Consideration to be Received in the Merger – Adjustment”. As of [l], Brunswick’s consolidated shareholders’ equity was [l].
Expected Material United States Federal Income Tax Treatment as a Result of the Merger (page 84)
The merger is structured to be treated as a reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes. Each of Mid Penn and Brunswick has conditioned the consummation of the merger on its receipt of a legal opinion that this will be the case. As such, Brunswick shareholders generally will only recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount not to exceed the cash (if any) received as part of the Merger Consideration but will recognize gain or loss (A) if such holder received the entirety of its consideration in cash or (B) with respect to any cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Mid Penn common stock.
This tax treatment may not apply to all Brunswick shareholders. Determining the actual tax consequences of the merger to Brunswick shareholders can be complicated. Brunswick shareholders should consult their own tax advisor for a full understanding of the merger’s tax consequences that are particular to each shareholder. For further information, please refer to “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” on page 84.
Accounting Treatment of the Merger (page 83)
Mid Penn will account for this transaction as a business combination under the acquisition method. On the acquisition date, Mid Penn will record at fair value the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest, and goodwill (or a gain from a bargain purchase). The results of operations for the combined company will be reported prospectively subsequent to the acquisition date.
Market Prices and Share Information (page 32)
Mid Penn common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “MPB.” Brunswick common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol “BRBW.”

Because the exchange ratio is fixed and will be adjusted only in certain circumstances, including if Brunswick’s consolidated shareholders’ equity is less than certain minimum requirements, Mid Penn effects a stock split or reverse stock split, and the market price of Mid Penn common stock will fluctuate prior to the merger, the pro forma equivalent price per share of Brunswick common stock will also fluctuate prior to the merger. Brunswick shareholders will not know the final equivalent price per share of Brunswick common stock when they vote on the merger. This information relates to the value of shares of Brunswick common stock that will be converted into shares of Mid Penn common stock in the merger. You should obtain current stock price quotations for the shares.
Following completion of the merger, current Mid Penn shareholders will own in the aggregate approximately ninety-four and six tenths percent (94.6%) of the outstanding shares of Mid Penn common stock and Brunswick shareholders will own approximately five and four tenths percent (5.4%) of the outstanding shares of Mid Penn common stock.
Opinion of Brunswick’s Financial Advisor (page 39)
At the December 20, 2022 meeting at which the Brunswick board of directors considered and approved the merger agreement, Brunswick’s financial advisor, Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, or Janney, delivered its oral opinion to Brunswick’s board of directors, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, to the effect that, as of December 20, 2022, subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations described in Janney’s opinion, the Merger Consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to Brunswick common equity shareholders.
The full text of Janney’s opinion is attached as Annex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The opinion outlines the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Janney in rendering its opinion.
Brunswick shareholders should read the opinion and the summary description of Janney’s opinion contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus carefully in their entirety.
Janney’s opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion of Janney does not reflect any developments that may have occurred or may occur after the date of its opinion and prior to the completion of the merger. Brunswick does not expect that it will request an updated opinion from Janney. The opinion was directed to Brunswick’s board of directors in connection with its consideration of the merger and is directed only as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration to Brunswick common equity shareholders. Janney’s opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any Brunswick shareholder as to how such shareholder should vote at any meeting of shareholders called to consider and vote upon the Brunswick merger proposal. Janney’s opinion does not address the underlying business decision of Brunswick to engage in the merger, the form or structure of the merger, the relative merits of the merger as compared to any other alternative business strategies that might exist for Brunswick or the effect of any other transaction in which Brunswick might engage. Janney did not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to be received in the merger by Brunswick’s officers, directors, or employees, or class of such persons, if any, relative to the compensation to be received in the merger by any other shareholder of Brunswick.

Opinion of Mid Penn’s Financial Advisor (page 51)
At the December 20, 2022 meeting at which the Mid Penn board of directors considered and approved the merger agreement, Mid Penn’s financial advisor, Piper Sandler & Co., or Piper Sandler, delivered its oral opinion to Mid Penn’s board of directors, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, to the effect that, as of December 20, 2022, subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations described in Piper Sandler’s opinion, the Merger Consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to Mid Penn.
The full text of Piper Sandler’s opinion is attached as Annex C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The opinion outlines the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Piper Sandler in rendering its opinion.
Mid Penn shareholders should read the opinion and the summary description of Piper Sandler’s opinion contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus carefully in their entirety.
Piper Sandler’s opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion of Piper Sandler does not reflect any developments that may have occurred or may occur after the date of its opinion and prior to the completion of the merger. Mid Penn does not expect that it will request an updated opinion from Piper Sandler. The opinion was directed to Mid Penn’s board of directors in connection with its consideration of the merger and is directed only as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to Mid Penn.

Board of Directors and Executive Officers of Mid Penn after the Merger (page 64)
Following completion of the merger, the then current directors and executive officers of Mid Penn and Mid Penn Bank will continue in office and one (1) of the current directors of Brunswick selected by the board of directors of Brunswick, with the approval of Mid Penn’s board of directors, will be added to the board of directors of Mid Penn.
The Mid Penn Board of Directors Recommends That Mid Penn Shareholders Vote “FOR” the Mid Penn Merger Proposal, “FOR” Mid Penn Amendment Proposal 1 and “FOR” Mid Penn Amendment Proposal 2 (pages 89-91)
The Mid Penn board of directors believes that the merger is in the best interests of Mid Penn and has unanimously approved the merger and the merger agreement. The Mid Penn board of directors recommends that Mid Penn shareholders vote “FOR” approval of the Mid Penn merger proposal. The Mid Penn board also recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” Mid Penn amendment proposal 1, Mid Penn amendment proposal 2 and the Mid Penn adjournment proposal.
The Brunswick Board of Directors Recommends That Brunswick Shareholders Vote “FOR” the Brunswick Merger Proposal (page 95)
The Brunswick board of directors believes that the merger is in the best interests of Brunswick and has unanimously approved the merger and the merger agreement. The Brunswick board of directors recommends that
17


Brunswick shareholders vote “FOR” the Brunswick merger proposal. The Brunswick board of directors also recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the Brunswick adjournment proposal.
Brunswick’s Directors and Executive Officers Have Financial Interests in the Merger that May Differ from the Interests of Brunswick Shareholders (page 66)
In addition to their interests as Brunswick shareholders, the directors and certain executive officers of Brunswick have interests in the merger that are different from or in addition to interests of other Brunswick shareholders. These interests include, among other things:
the appointment, effective at the closing of the merger, of one (1) member of the board of directors of Brunswick to the board of directors of Mid and the payment of compensation to such individual in accordance with the policies of Mid Penn;
the continued indemnification of current directors and executive officers of Brunswick and its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement;
certain of Brunswick’s named executive officers will be entitled to severance, change-in-control or other benefits and payments in connection with the merger; and
the acceleration of vesting of unvested Brunswick options and restricted stock grants held by Brunswick directors and officers, and the conversion of such Brunswick options into the right to receive cash following the merger.
Brunswick’s board of directors was aware of these interests and took them into account in its decision to approve the agreement and plan of merger. For information concerning these interests, please see the discussion on page 66 under the caption “Interests of Brunswick’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”
Brunswick Shareholders Do Not Have Dissenters’ Rights or Appraisal Rights (page 64)
Shareholders of Brunswick will not have appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with the merger. See “Brunswick Shareholders Do Not Have Dissenters’ Rights in the Merger” beginning on page 64.
The Rights of Brunswick Shareholders Will Change After the Merger (page 100)
The rights of Brunswick shareholders will change as a result of the merger due to differences in Mid Penn’s and Brunswick’s governing documents and the statutes governing each. The rights of Brunswick’s shareholders are governed under New Jersey law and by Brunswick’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Upon completion of the merger, Brunswick shareholders who become Mid Penn shareholders will be governed under Pennsylvania law and by Mid Penn’s articles of incorporation and bylaws. A description of shareholder rights under each of the Mid Penn and Brunswick governing documents, and the material differences between them, is included in the section entitled “Comparison of Shareholders’ Rights” found on page 100.
Conditions That Must Be Satisfied or Waived for the Merger to Occur (page 80)
Currently, we expect to complete the merger in the second quarter of 2023. In addition to the approval of the merger proposal by the requisite vote of Mid Penn and Brunswick shareholders and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals and expiration or termination of all statutory waiting periods in respect thereof, each as described herein, each party’s obligation to complete the merger is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted under applicable law) of certain other conditions, including the effectiveness of the registration statement containing this joint proxy statement/prospectus, approval of the listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market of the Mid Penn common stock to be issued in the merger, the absence of any applicable law or order prohibiting the merger, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party under the merger agreement (subject to the materiality standards set forth in the merger agreement), the performance by each party of its respective obligations under the merger agreement in all material respects, delivery of officer’s certificates by each party certifying satisfaction of the two preceding conditions and each of Mid Penn’s and Brunswick’s receipt of a tax opinion to the effect that the merger will be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. In
18


addition, Brunswick Bank and Trust Company’s allowance for credit losses must equal or exceed one percent (1%) of total loans.
Neither Brunswick nor Mid Penn can be certain when, or if, the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived, or that the merger will be completed. For more information concerning the closing conditions of the merger, please see the discussion on page 73 under the caption “The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements.”
No Solicitation of Other Offers (page 77)
Brunswick has agreed that it will not, and Brunswick will cause its subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, and affiliates not to, except as otherwise expressly permitted in the merger agreement, between the date of the merger agreement and the closing of the merger, directly or indirectly:
initiate, solicit, induce or encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of, any inquiry, offer or proposal that constitutes, relates or could reasonably be expected to lead to an alternative acquisition proposal;
respond to any inquiry relating to an alternative acquisition proposal;
recommend or endorse an alternative acquisition transaction;
participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding an alternative acquisition proposal, or furnish or afford access to confidential or non-public information or data to any person;
release anyone from, waive any provisions of, or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which Brunswick is a party; or
enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to any alternative acquisition proposal or approve or resolve to approve any alternative acquisition proposal or any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent relating to an alternative acquisition proposal.
The merger agreement does not, however, prohibit Brunswick from furnishing information or access to a third party who has made an unsolicited alternative acquisition proposal and participating in discussions and negotiating with such person if specified conditions are met. Among those conditions is a good faith determination by Brunswick’s board of directors that the acquisition proposal constitutes or that could reasonably be expected to lead to a proposal that is more favorable, from a financial point of view, to Brunswick and its shareholders than the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and is reasonably capable of being completed on its stated terms, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of the proposal.
For further discussion of the restrictions on solicitation of acquisition proposals from third parties, see “The Merger Agreement—Agreement Not to Solicit Other Offers” beginning on page 77.
Termination of the Merger Agreement (page 81)
We may mutually agree to terminate the merger agreement before completing the merger, even after Brunswick or Mid Penn shareholder approval. In addition, either of us may decide to terminate the merger agreement, if (i) a court or governmental entity issues a final order that is not appealable prohibiting the merger, (ii) a bank regulator which must grant a regulatory approval as a condition to the merger denies such approval of the merger and such denial has become final and is not appealable, (iii) the shareholders of Mid Penn or Brunswick fail to approve the merger at their respective special meetings, or (iv) the other party breaches the merger agreement in a way that would entitle the party seeking to terminate the agreement not to consummate the merger, subject to the right of the breaching party to cure the breach within thirty (30) days following written notice. Either of us may terminate the merger agreement if the merger has not been completed by September 30, 2023, unless the reason the merger has not been completed by that date is a breach of the merger agreement by the company seeking to terminate the merger agreement.
19


Mid Penn may terminate the merger agreement if the Brunswick board of directors, in connection with the receipt of a superior alternative acquisition proposal, (1) enters into a letter of intent, agreement in principle or an acquisition agreement with respect to the superior alternative acquisition proposal, (2) fails to make, withdraws, modifies or qualifies its recommendation of the merger agreement in a manner adverse to Mid Penn, or (3) has otherwise made a determination to accept the superior alternative acquisition proposal.
Brunswick Bank and Trust Company’s general allowance for credit losses shall be an amount not less than one percent (1%) of total loans and leases outstanding. If it is not, Mid Penn may terminate the merger agreement.
Brunswick may terminate the merger agreement if Brunswick receives an alternative acquisition proposal and has made a determination that the alternative acquisition proposal is a superior proposal and accepts such alternative acquisition proposal.
Termination Fee (page 81)
Brunswick will pay Mid Penn a termination fee of Two Million Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,050,000) if the merger agreement is terminated:
by Mid Penn because Brunswick has received a superior alternative acquisition proposal, and Brunswick (1) enters into a letter of intent, agreement in principle or an acquisition agreement with respect to the superior alternative acquisition proposal, (2) fails to make, withdraws, modifies or qualifies its recommendation of the merger agreement in a manner adverse to Mid Penn, or (3) has otherwise made a determination to accept the superior alternative acquisition proposal; or
by Brunswick, if Brunswick receives an alternative acquisition proposal and has made a determination that the alternative acquisition proposal is a superior proposal and accepts such alternative acquisition proposal in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement.
Brunswick will also be required to pay Mid Penn the termination fee of Two Million Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,050,000) in the event that Brunswick enters into a definitive agreement relating to, or consummates, an acquisition proposal within twelve (12) months following termination of the merger agreement:
by Mid Penn because of a willful breach of the merger agreement by Brunswick; or
by either Mid Penn or Brunswick, if the shareholders of Brunswick failed to approve the merger and either Brunswick breached the non-solicitation provisions of the merger agreement or a third party publicly proposed or announced an alternative acquisition proposal.
Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger (page 64)
Completion of the merger and the bank merger are subject to the receipt of all approvals required by, or waivers from, applicable regulatory authorities. The transaction is subject to approval by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (the “PDB”) and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (“NJDB”) and approval, or waiver of formal application and approval requirements, from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”). Mid Penn has filed or will file all required applications, notices and waiver requests to obtain the regulatory approvals and non-objections necessary to consummate the merger. While Mid Penn does not know of any reason why it would not obtain the approvals in a timely manner, Mid Penn cannot be certain when or if it will receive the regulatory approvals.
Notifications and/or applications requesting approval may also be submitted to various other federal and state regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organizations. Mid Penn and Brunswick have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all required regulatory approvals.

RISK FACTORS
In considering whether to vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement, you should consider all of the information included in this document and its annexes and all of the information we have incorporated by reference and the risk factors identified by Mid Penn with respect to its operations included in its filings with the SEC, including in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. See “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.” In addition, you should consider the following risk factors.
Risks Related to the Merger
The value of the Merger Consideration, while fixed, will vary with changes in Mid Penn’s stock price and may be adjusted if certain minimum equity targets are not achieved by Brunswick. Due to this, the number of shares of Mid Penn common stock exchanged per share of Brunswick common stock and the Cash Consideration to be paid for each share of Brunswick common stock may be different at the closing of the merger than when the merger agreement was executed and when Brunswick’s shareholder’s meeting is held.
Upon completion of the merger, each share of Brunswick common stock will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, consisting of, at the option of the holder of such share and subject to proration and adjustment as described in the merger agreement, either Eighteen Dollars ($18.00) (the “Cash Consideration”) or 0.598 shares of Mid Penn common stock (the “Stock Consideration”). Both the Stock Consideration and Cash Consideration are fixed, but are subject to downward adjustment pursuant to the merger agreement if Brunswick does not, at certain measuring dates, have a specific amount of consolidated shareholders’ equity calculated in accordance with the merger agreement. Moreover, the value of the Stock Consideration will depend on the market price of Mid Penn common stock. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors (many of which are outside the control of Mid Penn).
The market price of Mid Penn common stock at the closing of the merger may vary from its price on the date the merger agreement was executed, on the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and on the date of Mid Penn’s and Brunswick’s shareholder meetings. As a result, the market value of the Stock Consideration also will vary.
Thus, while the number of shares of Mid Penn common stock to be issued per share of Brunswick common stock is fixed (absent any adjustments as described above), (A) Mid Penn shareholders cannot be sure of the market value of the Stock Consideration that will ultimately be paid upon completion of the merger and (B) Brunswick shareholders cannot be sure of the market value of the Stock Consideration they will ultimately receive upon completion of the merger. Moreover, even though the Cash Consideration is fixed, because of the adjustment mechanisms in the merger agreement, Mid Penn and Brunswick shareholders cannot be sure of the ultimate value of the Cash Consideration when voting at their respective shareholder meetings.
Brunswick shareholders may receive a form of consideration different from what they elect.
While each Brunswick shareholder may elect to receive the Cash Consideration, the Stock Consideration or a mix of both, fifty percent (50%) of the Brunswick stock outstanding at the completion of the merger will be converted into the Cash Consideration and fifty percent (50%) will be converted into the Stock Consideration. Therefore, if Brunswick shareholders elect more cash or stock than is available under the merger agreement, their elections will be prorated so that fifty percent (50%) of the Brunswick common stock outstanding at the completion of the merger is converted into the Stock Consideration and the remaining fifty percent (50%) is converted into the Cash Consideration. As a result, a Brunswick shareholder’s ability to receive cash or stock in accordance with their election may depend on the election of other Brunswick shareholders.
Brunswick and Mid Penn shareholders will have a reduced ownership percentage and voting interest after the merger and will exercise less influence over management.
Brunswick’s shareholders currently have the right to vote in the election of the board of directors of Brunswick and on certain other matters affecting Brunswick. When the merger occurs, each Brunswick shareholder that receives shares of Mid Penn common stock will become a shareholder of Mid Penn with a percentage ownership of the
24


combined organization that is much smaller than the shareholder’s current percentage ownership of Brunswick. Additionally, each Mid Penn shareholder will have a percentage ownership of the combined organization that is smaller than the shareholder’s current ownership in Mid Penn. More specifically, following completion of the merger, current Mid Penn shareholders will own in the aggregate approximately ninety-four and six tenths percent (94.6%) of the outstanding shares of Mid Penn common stock and Brunswick shareholders will own approximately five and four tenths percent (5.4%) of the outstanding shares of Mid Penn common stock.
Because of this, each institution’s existing shareholders will have less influence on the management and policies of Mid Penn than they now have on the management and policies of the institution in which they currently own shares.
The merger agreement limits Brunswick’s ability to pursue alternatives to the merger.
The merger agreement contains “no shop” provisions that, subject to specified exceptions, limit Brunswick’s ability to discuss, facilitate or commit to competing third-party proposals to acquire all or a significant part of Brunswick. In addition, a termination fee is payable by Brunswick under certain circumstances, generally involving the decision to pursue an alternative transaction. These provisions might discourage a potential competing acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of Brunswick from considering or proposing that acquisition, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share value than that proposed in the merger, or might result in a potential competing acquiror proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire Brunswick than it might otherwise have proposed to pay, if the merger with Mid Penn had not been announced.
Regulatory waivers and approvals may not be received or may be received and subsequently expire, be revoked or be amended to impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or cannot be met.
Before the transactions contemplated in the merger agreement, including the merger, may be completed, various waivers, approvals or consents must be obtained from various bank regulatory and other authorities, including the FRB, the FDIC, the PDB and NJDB. These governmental entities may impose conditions on the completion of the merger or require changes to the terms of the merger agreement. Further, such approvals are subject to expiration if the transaction is not consummated within the time period provided in the approval.
Brunswick’s directors and executive officers have financial interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Brunswick shareholders.
Brunswick’s directors and executive officers have financial interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Brunswick shareholders. For example, one (1) current director of Brunswick will serve on the board of directors of Mid Penn after the merger and will receive compensation for his or her services as a director. In addition, certain officers or employees may receive certain severance payments if they are terminated following the merger. Moreover, certain executive officers will receive change in control payments following completion of the merger. For information concerning these interests, please see the discussion under the caption “Interests of Brunswick’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” on page 66.
The shares of Mid Penn common stock to be received by Brunswick shareholders as a result of the merger will have different rights from the shares of Brunswick common stock.
Upon completion of the merger, Brunswick shareholders will become Mid Penn shareholders. Their rights as shareholders will be governed by Pennsylvania corporate law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Mid Penn. The rights associated with Brunswick common stock are governed by New Jersey corporate law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Brunswick and are different from the rights associated with Mid Penn common stock. See the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus titled “Comparison of Shareholders’ Rights” beginning on page 100 for a discussion of the different rights associated with Mid Penn common stock.
Termination of the merger agreement could negatively affect Brunswick.
If the merger agreement is terminated, there may be various consequences, including the fact that Brunswick’s businesses may have been adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the merger.
25


If the merger agreement is terminated and Brunswick’s board of directors seeks another merger or business combination, Brunswick shareholders cannot be certain that Brunswick will be able to find a party willing to offer equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration Mid Penn has agreed to provide in the merger.
If the merger agreement is terminated and a different business combination is pursued, Brunswick may be required to pay a termination fee of Two Million Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,050,000) to Mid Penn under certain circumstances. See “The Merger Agreement—Termination Fee” beginning on page 81.
The fairness opinions obtained by Brunswick and Mid Penn from their respective financial advisors will not reflect changes in circumstances subsequent to the date that such opinions were rendered.
Brunswick has obtained a fairness opinion dated as of December 20, 2022, from its financial advisor, Janney. Mid Penn has obtained a fairness opinion dated as of December 20, 2022, from its financial advisor, Piper Sandler. Neither Brunswick nor Mid Penn has obtained, and neither will obtain, an updated opinion as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus from their respective financial advisor. Changes in the operations and prospects of Mid Penn or Brunswick, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of Mid Penn and Brunswick may alter the value of Mid Penn or Brunswick or the price of shares of Mid Penn common stock or Brunswick common stock by the time the merger is completed. The opinions do not speak to the time the merger will be completed or to any other date other than the date of such opinions. As a result, the opinions will not address the fairness of the Merger Consideration, from a financial point of view, at the time the merger is completed. For a description of the opinion that Brunswick received from Janney, please see “The Merger—Opinion of Brunswick’s Financial Advisor” beginning on page 39 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. For a description of the opinion that Mid Penn received from Piper Sandler, please see “The Merger—Opinion of Mid Penn’s Financial Advisor” beginning on page 51 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
The merger agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the merger may not be completed for other reasons.
The merger agreement is subject to a number of conditions that must be fulfilled in order to complete the merger. Those conditions include, among others: approval of the merger agreement by Mid Penn and Brunswick shareholders, regulatory approvals, absence of orders prohibiting the completion of the merger, effectiveness of the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part, approval of the shares of Mid Penn common stock to be issued to Brunswick shareholders for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties by both parties, the performance by both parties of their covenants and agreements, and the receipt by both parties of legal opinions from their respective tax counsels. See “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement” beginning on page 81 for a more complete discussion of the circumstances under which the merger agreement could be terminated. The conditions to closing of the merger may not be fulfilled and the merger may not be completed.
Failure to complete the merger could negatively affect the market price of Mid Penn’s and Brunswick’s common stock.
If the merger is not completed for any reason, Mid Penn and Brunswick will be subject to a number of material risks, including the following:
the market price of Brunswick common stock may decline to the extent that the current market prices of its common stock already reflect a market assumption that the merger will be completed;
costs relating to the merger, such as legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, and, in specified circumstances, additional reimbursement and termination fees, must be paid even if the merger is not completed; and
the diversion of management’s attention from the day-to-day business operations and the potential disruption to each company’s employees and business relationships during the period before the completion of the merger may make it difficult to regain financial and market positions if the merger does not occur.
26


Brunswick will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.
Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on Brunswick and consequently on Mid Penn. These uncertainties may impair Brunswick’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is consummated, and could cause customers and others that deal with Brunswick to seek to change existing business relationships with Brunswick. Retention of certain employees may be challenging while the merger is pending, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with Mid Penn. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with Mid Penn, Mid Penn’s business following the merger could be harmed. In addition, the merger agreement restricts Brunswick from taking certain actions until the merger occurs without the consent of Mid Penn. These restrictions may prevent Brunswick from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger. Please see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements” beginning on page 73 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus for a description of the restrictive covenants to which Brunswick is subject under the merger agreement.
If the merger is not completed, Brunswick and Mid Penn will have incurred substantial expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the merger.
Brunswick and Mid Penn have both incurred substantial expenses in connection with the merger. The completion of the merger depends on the satisfaction of specified conditions and the continued effectiveness of regulatory approvals and the approval of Mid Penn’s and Brunswick’s shareholders. Brunswick and Mid Penn cannot guarantee that these conditions will be met. If the merger is not completed, these expenses could have an adverse impact on the financial condition and results of operations on a stand-alone basis for both Brunswick and Mid Penn.
Litigation relating to the merger could require us to incur significant costs and suffer management distraction, as well as delay and/or enjoin the merger.
Neither Brunswick nor Mid Penn is currently able to predict the outcome of any suit arising out of or relating to the proposed transaction that may be filed in the future. If any letters or complaints are filed, absent allegations that are material, Brunswick and Mid Penn will not necessarily announce such filings.
Brunswick and Mid Penn could be subject to demands or litigation related to the merger, whether or not the merger is consummated. Such actions may create additional uncertainty relating to the merger, and responding to such demands and defending such actions may be costly and distracting to management. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcomes of any demand or any subsequent litigation, neither Brunswick nor Mid Penn believes that the resolution of such demands or any subsequent litigation will have a material adverse effect on its respective financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Risks Related to the Combined Company if the Merger is Completed
Mid Penn may be unable to successfully integrate Brunswick’s operations and retain Brunswick’s employees.
The merger involves the integration of two companies that have previously operated independently. The difficulties of combining the operations of the two companies include, among other things: integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds; combining different corporate cultures; and retaining key employees.
The process of integrating operations could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of the business and the loss of key personnel. The integration of the two companies will require the experience and expertise of certain key employees of Brunswick who are expected to be retained by Mid Penn. Mid Penn may not be successful in retaining these employees for the time period necessary to successfully integrate Brunswick’s operations with those of Mid Penn. The diversion of management’s attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the merger and the integration of the two companies’ operations could have an adverse effect on the business and results of operations of Mid Penn following the merger.
Additionally, Mid Penn may not be able to successfully achieve the level of cost savings and other synergies that it expects, and may not be able to capitalize upon the existing customer relationships of Brunswick to the extent
27


anticipated, or it may take longer, or be more difficult or expensive than expected to achieve these goals. This could have an adverse effect on Mid Penn’s business, results of operation and stock price.
The market price of Mid Penn shares of common stock after the merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the shares of Brunswick.
The businesses of Mid Penn and Brunswick differ and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the market price of the combined company’s shares of common stock may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations of Mid Penn. For a discussion of the businesses of Mid Penn and Brunswick, see “Information about Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc.” and “Information about Brunswick Bancorp” on pages 92 and 96, respectively.
Future issuances of Mid Penn equity securities could dilute shareholder ownership and voting interest of Mid Penn shareholders.
Mid Penn’s articles of incorporation currently authorize the issuance of up to 20 million shares of common stock, which is the maximum number of shares Mid Penn may have issued and outstanding at any one time. If Mid Penn amendment proposal 1 is approved, Mid Penn will be authorized to issue up to 40 million shares of common stock. Mid Penn’s ability to issue additional shares is reduced by the number of shares that are currently outstanding and already reserved for future issuances. Any future issuance of equity securities by Mid Penn may result in dilution in the percentage ownership and voting interest of Mid Penn shareholders. Also, any securities Mid Penn sells in the future may be valued differently and the issuance of equity securities for future services, acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of shares held by Mid Penn shareholders.
We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the merger.
The success of the merger will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from combining the businesses of Mid Penn and Brunswick. However, to realize these anticipated benefits and cost savings, which include increased Mid Penn lending limits, a presence in new geographic markets and access to stable core deposits, we must successfully combine the businesses of Mid Penn and Brunswick. If we are not able to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the merger may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.
Mid Penn and Brunswick have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on Mid Penn or Brunswick during the transition period.
Another expected benefit from the merger is an expected increase in the revenues of the combined company from anticipated sales of Mid Penn’s greater variety of financial products, and from increased lending out of Mid Penn’s substantially larger capital base, to Brunswick’s existing customers and to new customers in Brunswick’s market area who may be attracted by the combined company’s enhanced offerings. An inability to successfully market Mid Penn’s products to Brunswick’s customer base could cause the earnings of the combined company to be less than anticipated.
Unanticipated costs relating to the merger could reduce Mid Penn’s future earnings per share.
Mid Penn and Brunswick believe that they have reasonably estimated the likely incremental costs of the combined operations of Mid Penn and Brunswick following the merger. However, it is possible that unexpected transaction costs such as taxes, fees or professional expenses or unexpected future operating expenses such as unanticipated costs to integrate the two businesses, increased personnel costs or increased taxes, as well as other types of unanticipated adverse developments, including negative changes in the value of Brunswick’s loan or securities portfolios, could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of Mid Penn
28


following the merger. In addition, if actual costs are materially different than expected costs, the merger could have a significant dilutive effect on Mid Penn’s earnings per share.
The current volatile interest rate and credit risk environment may adversely impact the fair value adjustments of investments and loans acquired in the merger.
Upon the closing of the merger, the combined company will need to adjust the fair value of Brunswick’s investment and loan portfolios. The rising interest rate environment could have the effect of increasing the magnitude of the purchase accounting marks relating to such fair value adjustments, thereby increasing initial tangible book value dilution, extending the tangible book value earn-back period, and negatively impacting the combined company’s capital ratios, which may result in the combined company taking steps to strengthen its capital position. Additionally, some of the performing loans in the Brunswick loan portfolio being acquired by Mid Penn may be under-collateralized or the estimated allowance for credit losses associated with the loan portfolio may need to be adjusted. There is no assurance that the allowance for credit losses that Mid Penn places on the Brunswick loan portfolio to mitigate against under-collateralized, non-performing loans will be adequate or that Mid Penn will not incur losses that could be greater than this estimate.
Risks Relating to Mid Penn’s Business
You should read and consider risk factors specific to Mid Penn’s business that will also affect the combined company after the merger. These risks are described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in Mid Penn’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and in other documents incorporated by reference into this document. Please see the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 106 of this document for the location of information incorporated by reference into this document.

completion of the merger is dependent on, among other the things, the receipt of shareholder and regulatory approvals, the timing of which cannot be predicted with precision and which may not be received at all;
the merger may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events;
higher than expected increases in Mid Penn’s or Brunswick’s loan losses or in the level of nonperforming loans;
higher than expected charges incurred by Mid Penn in connection with marking Brunswick’s assets to fair value;
a continued weakness or unexpected decline in the U.S. economy, in particular in Pennsylvania and New Jersey;
a continued or unexpected decline in real estate values within Mid Penn’s and Brunswick’s market areas;
unanticipated reduction in Mid Penn’s or Brunswick’s respective deposit bases or funding sources;
government intervention in the U.S. financial system and the effects of and changes in trade and monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate risk policies of the FRB;
legislative and regulatory actions could subject Mid Penn to additional regulatory oversight which may result in increased compliance costs and/or require Mid Penn to change its business model;
the integration of Brunswick’s business and operations with those of Mid Penn may take longer than anticipated, may be more costly than anticipated and may have unanticipated adverse results relating to Brunswick’s or Mid Penn’s existing businesses; and
the anticipated cost savings and other synergies of the merger may take longer to be realized or may not be achieved in their entirety, and attrition in key client, partner and other relationships relating to the merger may be greater than expected.

THE MERGER
Background of the Merger
During the course of developing its strategic plan, Mid Penn’s board of directors and senior management team regularly consider various strategies for creating additional shareholder value, including growth through the expansion of its customer base in existing markets, as well as growth through acquisition of banks or business lines in existing or other markets. As part of this strategic planning process, Mid Penn routinely evaluates possible business combinations, and has completed four acquisitions in recent years—Phoenix Bancorp, Inc. in 2015, The Scottdale Bank & Trust Co. in January 2018, First Priority Financial Corp. in July 2018 and Riverview Financial Corporation in November 2021.
Brunswick’s Board and management have periodically reviewed and assessed strategic opportunities and challenges faced by Brunswick Bank as a smaller community bank with a limited trading market. The Board concluded that in order for Brunswick Bank to successfully compete as an independent institution while satisfying the increasing regulatory obligations applicable to it and to provide an acceptable return to its shareholders, Brunswick would need to grow significantly and ultimately establish a more liquid trading market for its common stock. Alternatively, the Brunswick Board concluded that if executing a strategic plan providing for significant growth entailed too much risk, Brunswick should consider finding a strategic partner.
As a result of these conclusions, in 2021, Brunswick engaged in substantial discussions with two insured depository institutions regarding two different possible strategic combinations. In the first instance, which contemplated an outright sale of Brunswick, the potential acquirer went through a robust diligence process before electing to discontinue further discussions. Similarly, in the latter instance, which contemplated a merger of equals, the merger partner elected to discontinue negotiations following diligence.
At the June 21, 2022 Brunswick Board meeting, the Brunswick Board again reviewed its strategic alternatives. Management noted that Brunswick and its advisors had been contacted by several parties expressing interest in a strategic transaction with Brunswick. The Board discussed the fact that Brunswick was coming off of a number of quarters of strong performance, and that there seemed to be market interest in Brunswick, and so if the Brunswick Board believed a sale would ultimately be in the best interests of Brunswick and its shareholders, this would be a good time to solicit interest in a strategic transaction with Brunswick. At the June 21, 2022 Brunswick Board meeting, the Brunswick Board authorized Brunswick to undertake a solicitation process to gauge market interest in Brunswick, and appointed the Board’s Strategic Planning Committee (“SPC”) to oversee the process and report back to the Board.
On June 22, 2022, the SPC met with counsel from Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf, LLP and representatives from its financial advisor, Janney. The SPC discussed the then current state of the merger and acquisition market and the potential sale process with its legal and financial advisors, including potential timelines and parties that might have an interest in a strategic transaction with Brunswick. After reviewing the parties, the SPC authorized Janney to contact eighteen (18) parties that the financial advisor believed could have an interest in Brunswick. Such parties had assets ranging from a low of approximately Six Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($650,000,000) to a high of over Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000).
On July 25, 2022, Brunswick executed an engagement letter with Janney, formally retaining Janney as its financial advisor.
Subsequent to the June 22, 2022 SPC meeting, four (4) additional financial institutions with assets ranging from a low of approximately One and a Half Billion Dollars ($1,500,000,000) to a high of approximately Four Billion Seven Hundred Million Dollars ($4,700,000,000) contacted Brunswick or Janney to express interest in a possible strategic transaction or were identified by Janney as parties that might also have an interest in Brunswick and presented by Janney to the SPC for approval. The SPC determined to include these four additional parties in the solicitation process.
34


In June and July 2022, Brunswick worked with Janney to prepare a confidential information memorandum and initial disclosure materials, and representatives from Janney contacted the twenty-two (22) parties approved by the SPC.
Of the parties contacted, fifteen (15), including Mid Penn, signed non-disclosure agreements and received Brunswick’s confidential information memorandum and received access to a virtual data room. In order to facilitate an orderly sale process, the non-disclosure agreements included a customary standstill provision that provided that such provision would terminate if Brunswick entered into an agreement providing for the sale or change in control of Brunswick.
Ultimately, six (6) parties, including Mid Penn, submitted preliminary indications of valuation by the mid-August deadline established by Brunswick’s SPC.
The SPC met on August 24, 2022 with its legal and financial advisors to review the indication letters. The indications valued Brunswick in a range of $16.75 per share to a high valuation, net of adjustment for certain tax issues specific to that indication, of $19.57 per share. The indications provided for consideration to be paid all in cash or in a mix of stock and cash. Mid Penn’s indication valued Brunswick in a range of from $17.50 to $18.00 per share, and provided for a 50-50 mix of cash and Mid Penn stock. The SPC reviewed each of the indications and information about each of the interested parties. The SPC determined that the three parties with the highest indicated valuation, which did not include Mid Penn, would be invited to undertake more detailed diligence and then provide an updated indication letter. In addition, Mid Penn was also invited to undertake more detailed diligence and present an updated indication letter, provided that Mid Penn confirmed that their indicated valuation was $18.00 per share, which they did.
During September 2022, Brunswick worked with each of the four parties invited to undertake a detailed diligence review of Brunswick to provide diligence material and answer questions. Updated indications of interest were requested by early October.
On September 26, 2022, members of senior management of Mid Penn met with members of senior management of Brunswick, together with representatives of Stephens, Inc., Mid Penn’s financial advisor, and Janney, to discuss Mid Penn’s indication of interest and the pros and cons of a strategic combination of Mid Penn and Brunswick.
At the end of the diligence review period, and prior to the due date for updated indication letters, one of the interested parties, the party that had valued Brunswick at a net valuation of $19.57 per share, notified representatives of Janney that it was withdrawing from the process. The three other parties submitted updated indication letters by early October.
On October 11, 2022, the SPC met with Brunswick’s legal and financial advisors to review the three updated indication letters. The final indications stated a value for Brunswick in a range of $16.75 per share to $18.27 per share. All three indications provided for a mix of cash and acquirer stock as the transaction consideration. Mid Penn’s indication had a stated value of $18.00 per share, and provided for a 50-50 mix of cash and Mid Penn common stock. The SPC discussed each of the three indications, and determined that the Mid Penn indication was superior to the others for several reasons:
Based on Mid Penn’s then current stock price and a 50-50 split of cash and Mid Penn stock, the Mid Penn indication represented the highest value for Brunswick;
Mid Penn was a more experienced acquirer, successfully completing several other transactions, thus reducing execution risk;
One of the other bidders had yet to undertake a detailed review of Brunswick’s loan portfolio, and was unwilling to do so unless granted exclusivity by Brunswick, thus increasing the execution risk for that indication; and
The liquidity in the market for Mid Penn’s stock.
35


The SPC therefore unanimously agreed to recommend to the Brunswick Board that Brunswick begin exclusive negotiations with Mid Penn on a definitive transaction agreement.
On October 14, 2022, the Brunswick Board held a special meeting to review and act upon the recommendation of the SPC. Brunswick’s legal and financial advisors participated in the meeting. The representative of Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf, LLP, Brunswick’s legal advisor, discussed with the Board its fiduciary duties. The representatives of Janney discussed with the Board the process they had undertaken on behalf of Brunswick, the initial indications Brunswick had received, the parties invited to undertake a detailed diligence review and the terms of the three (3) final indications Brunswick had received. The representatives of Janney also reviewed information about each of the three (3) final interested parties.
The Chair of the SPC then discussed with the Brunswick Board the SPC’s recommendation that Brunswick move forward with exclusive negotiations with Mid Penn, and the reasons underlying that recommendation. After discussion, the Brunswick Board adopted the SPC’s recommendation and authorized Brunswick’s President and CEO to negotiate and execute an exclusivity agreement with Mid Penn.
Effective October 19, 2022, Brunswick and Mid Penn entered into an exclusivity agreement which provided for a forty-five (45) day exclusivity period, during which Brunswick and its representatives were prohibited from engaging in negotiations or entering into any agreement with any third parties relating to alternative business combination transactions.
At its regularly scheduled meeting on October 27, 2022, the Mid Penn board of directors was informed by senior management that Brunswick had accepted Mid Penn’s nonbinding indication of interest letter and entered into an exclusivity agreement, and that the parties had commenced their respective formal due diligence reviews. Representatives of Stephens participated in the meeting and presented the Mid Penn board with an executive summary of the proposed transaction and a review of various preliminary pro forma financial metrics and key assumptions considered in developing those metrics. Discussion was held concerning pricing and social terms, as well as opportunities and challenges associated with such a combination being an out-of-market transaction. Following such discussion, the Mid Penn board authorized management to proceed with completing its due diligence review of Brunswick and negotiating a definitive merger agreement for its review on the terms described in the nonbinding indication of interest letter.
During the second half of October 2022 through mid-December 2022, the parties and their respective legal and financial advisors engaged in a due diligence investigation of the other party, which included documentary review and management interviews.
On November 11, 2022, Pillar+Aught, counsel for Mid Penn, provided a draft of a definitive merger agreement to Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf, LLP.
During November and early December 2022, the legal and financial advisors and executive officers for Brunswick and Mid Penn negotiated the final terms of the definitive merger agreement and other transaction documents. During this time, Pillar+Aught and Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf, LLP also exchanged drafts of the form of voting agreements to be entered into by Mid Penn with each of the directors, executive officers and a certain ten percent (10%) shareholder of Brunswick. Pillar+Aught and Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf, LLP also exchanged drafts of the form of voting agreements proposed to be entered into by Brunswick and each of the directors and executive officers of Mid Penn.
Effective December 2, 2022, Brunswick and Mid Penn agreed to extend the exclusivity period to December 31, 2022 in order to provide the parties sufficient time to complete their respective diligence investigation and negotiate the transaction documents.
On December 20, 2022, the Boards of both Brunswick and Mid Penn met to review and vote upon the proposed transaction and the various transaction documents.
Representatives of Janney and Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf, LLP participated in the Brunswick Board meeting. The representatives of Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf, LLP reviewed with the Brunswick Board the
36


fiduciary duties owed to Brunswick’s stockholders and the terms of the proposed merger, the merger agreement and the other transaction documents. The representatives of Janney provided a financial analysis of the proposed transaction. The representatives of Janney also orally rendered Janney’s opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing (a copy of which is attached as Annex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus), to the effect that, as of December 20, 2022 and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Janney as set forth in the opinion, the proposed Merger Consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Brunswick common stock.
Representatives of Stephens, Piper Sandler and Pillar+Aught participated in the Mid Penn board meeting, during which they reviewed the provisions of the merger agreement in detail with the board of directors. Representatives of Stephens and Piper Sandler discussed the financial terms of the proposed transaction and Pillar+Aught discussed with the Mid Penn board their fiduciary duties under Pennsylvania law. Following the review of its financial analyses of the merger, Piper Sandler delivered its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing (a copy of which is attached as Appendix C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus), to the effect that, as of that date and subject to assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken set forth in the opinion, the Merger Consideration in the merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to Mid Penn. After careful consideration of these presentations, as well as the factors described under the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Mid Penn’s Reasons for the Merger,” and following further discussion, the Mid Penn board of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement and agreed to recommend that Mid Penn’s shareholders adopt and approve the merger agreement.
Brunswick and Mid Penn jointly announced the transaction on the evening of December 20, 2022, after the close of the trading markets.
Brunswick’s Reasons for the Merger
In determining that the merger and the merger agreement were fair to and advisable for Brunswick and its shareholders, in authorizing and approving the merger, in adopting the merger agreement and in recommending that Brunswick shareholders vote for approval of the merger agreement, the Brunswick Board consulted with members of Brunswick’s management and with Janney, and also considered a number of factors that the Brunswick Board viewed as relevant to its decisions. The following discussion of the information and factors considered by the Brunswick Board is not intended to be exhaustive; however, it does include all material factors considered by the Brunswick Board.
In reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement, the Brunswick Board considered the following:
the understanding of the Brunswick Board of the strategic options available to Brunswick and the Brunswick Board’s assessment of those options, including the economic environment for smaller community banks, and the determination that none of those options were more likely to create greater present value for Brunswick’s shareholders than the value to be paid by Mid Penn;
the challenges facing Brunswick’s management to grow Brunswick’s franchise and enhance shareholder value given current market conditions, including increased operating costs resulting from regulatory and compliance mandates, continued pressure on net interest margins from the current interest rate environment and competition, especially for deposits;
the strong capital base the resulting institution would have after the transaction;
the pro forma dividend the Mid Penn stock to be issued as part of the merger consideration;
the ability to become part of a larger institution with a higher lending limit and the infrastructure for growth in small and middle-market lending, helping to further service Brunswick’s customer base;
the geographic fit and increased customer convenience of the expanded branch network offered by the combined bank;
37


that the common stock the Brunswick shareholders will receive will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, thereby providing enhanced liquidity to the Brunswick shareholders, as the Brunswick common stock is currently traded only on the OTC Pink Market;
the cash component in the offer by Mid Penn to the Brunswick shareholders, allowing those shareholders needing immediate liquidity to receive cash;
the terms of the merger agreement and the structure of the merger transaction, including that the merger is intended to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes to shareholders of Brunswick that only receive shares of Mid Penn common stock in exchange for their shares of Brunswick common stock;
the compatibility of the business cultures of the two organizations;
the financial condition, results of operations, and prospects of the two entities;
the opinion of Janney, based upon various analyses described below, including a review of comparable transactions, that the consideration to be received by the Brunswick shareholders is fair to the shareholders of Brunswick from a financial point of view;
the Brunswick Board’s view, based on, among other things, the opinion of Janney, that the merger consideration is fair to the shareholders of Brunswick from a financial point of view;
that Brunswick’s shareholders would have the ability to elect to receive either shares of Mid Penn common stock or cash for some or all of their shares of Brunswick common stock.
the prospects for Brunswick’s employees within the combined company; and
the likelihood of obtaining the shareholder and regulatory approvals needed to complete the transaction.
All business combinations, including the merger, also include certain risks and disadvantages. The material potential risks and disadvantages to Brunswick’s shareholders identified by the Brunswick Board and management include the following material matters, the order of which does not necessarily reflect their relative significance:
the risks of attaining the type of revenue enhancements and cost savings necessary to cause the trading markets to consider the transaction a success;
that the Mid Penn stock may not perform well after the closing for reasons unrelated to the proposed transaction, including possible credit, funding or other issues related to Mid Penn’s business;
that the termination fee provided for in the merger agreement and certain other provisions of the merger agreement might discourage third parties from seeking to acquire Brunswick, in light of the fact that Mid Penn was unwilling to enter into the merger agreement absent such provisions;
the potential risk of diverting management attention and resources from the operation of Brunswick’s business and towards the completion of the merger;
the restrictions on the conduct of Brunswick’s business before the completion of the merger, which are customary for merger agreements involving financial institutions, but which, subject to specific exceptions, could delay or prevent Brunswick from undertaking business opportunities that may arise or any other action it would otherwise take with respect to the operations of Brunswick absent the pending merger; and
the risk of potential employee attrition and/or adverse effects on business and customer relationships as a result of the pending merger.
This discussion of the information and factors considered by the Brunswick Board in reaching its conclusions and recommendation includes the factors identified above, but is not intended to be exhaustive and may not include all of the factors considered by the Brunswick Board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection
38


with its evaluation of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and the complexity of these matters, the Brunswick Board did not find it useful and did not attempt to quantify, rank or assign any relative or specific weights to the various factors that it considered in reaching its determination to approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and to make its recommendation to Brunswick shareholders. Rather, the Brunswick Board viewed its decisions as being based on the totality of the information presented to it and the factors it considered, including its discussions with and questioning of members of Brunswick’s management and outside legal and financial advisors. In addition, individual members of the Brunswick Board may have assigned different weights to different factors.
Certain of Brunswick’s directors and executive officers have financial interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of Brunswick’s shareholders generally. The Brunswick Board was aware of and considered these potential interests, among other matters, in evaluating the merger and in making its recommendation to Brunswick shareholders. For a discussion of these interests, see “—Interests of Brunswick’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.
Recommendation of Brunswick’s Board of Directors
Brunswick’s board of directors believes that the terms of the transaction are in the best interests of Brunswick and its shareholders and has unanimously approved the merger agreement. Accordingly, Brunswick’s board of directors unanimously recommends that Brunswick’s shareholders vote “FOR” the Brunswick merger proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Brunswick adjournment proposal.
Opinion of Brunswick’s Financial Advisor
Janney was engaged by the Board of Directors of Brunswick to act as financial advisor and to render a fairness opinion for the Board of Directors of Brunswick in connection with a potential business combination (the “Merger”) with Mid Penn. Janney delivered to the Board of Directors of Brunswick its opinion dated December 20, 2022 that, based upon and subject to the various considerations set forth in its written opinion, the merger consideration to be received by the shareholders of Brunswick from Mid Penn is fair to the shareholders of Brunswick from a financial point of view. In requesting Janney’s advice and opinion, no limitations were imposed by Brunswick with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed by it in rendering this opinion. The full text of the opinion of Janney, which describes the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken, are attached hereto as Annex B. Shareholders of Brunswick should read this opinion in its entirety. Janney’s opinion speaks only as of December 20, 2022.
Janney is a nationally recognized investment banking firm and, as part of its investment banking business, it values financial institutions in connection with mergers and acquisitions, private placements and for other purposes. As a specialist in securities of financial institutions, Janney has experience in, and knowledge of, banks, thrifts and bank and thrift holding companies. Brunswick’s Board of Directors selected Janney to render a fairness opinion in connection with the Merger on the basis of the firm’s reputation and expertise in transactions such as the Merger.
Janney has received a fee from Brunswick for rendering a written opinion to the Board of Directors of Brunswick as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration to shareholders of Brunswick. Further, Brunswick has agreed to indemnify Janney against any claims or liabilities arising out of Janney’s engagement by Brunswick. The opinion has been reviewed by Janney’s compliance officer and fairness committee consistent and with internal policy. Janney has not provided financial services and has not received compensation from Brunswick during the prior two years. Certain employees of Janney were employed by another investment bank that received compensation from Brunswick for financial advisory services within the past two years.
The following is a summary of the analyses performed by Janney in connection with its fairness opinion. Certain analyses were confirmed in a presentation to the Board of Directors of Brunswick by Janney. The summary set forth below does not purport to be a complete description of either the analyses performed by Janney in rendering its opinion or the presentation delivered by Janney to the Board of Directors of Brunswick, but it does summarize all of the material analyses performed and presented by Janney.
39


The preparation of a fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analyses and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. In arriving at its opinion, Janney did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Janney may have given various analyses more or less weight than other analyses. Accordingly, Janney believes that its analyses and the following summary must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses, without considering all factors, could create an incomplete view of the process underlying the analyses set forth in its report to the Board of Directors of Brunswick and its fairness opinion.
In performing its analyses, Janney made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Brunswick or Mid Penn. The analyses performed by Janney are not necessarily indicative of actual value or actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Such analyses were prepared solely as part of Janney’s analysis of the fairness of the merger consideration, from a financial point of view, to Brunswick shareholders. The analyses do not purport to be an appraisal or to reflect the prices at which a company might actually be sold or the prices at which any securities may trade at the present time or at any time in the future. Janney’s opinion does not address the relative merits of the merger as compared to any other business combination in which Brunswick might engage. In addition, as described above, Janney’s opinion was one of many factors taken into consideration by the Board of Directors of Brunswick in making its determination to approve the merger agreement.
During the course of its engagement and as a basis for arriving at its opinion, Janney reviewed and analyzed material bearing upon financial and operating conditions of Brunswick and Mid Penn and material prepared in connection with the merger, including, among other things, the following:
(i)A draft of the merger agreement, dated December 19, 2022;
(ii)Certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Mid Penn, both audited and unaudited, that Janney deemed relevant, including reports filed by Mid Penn with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve Board;
(iii)Certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Brunswick and its banking subsidiary, Brunswick Bank, both audited and unaudited, that Janney deemed relevant, including reports filed by Brunswick with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve Board;
(iv)Certain internal financial projections for Brunswick for the years ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2024, as provided by the senior management of Brunswick, as well as an estimated long-term net income growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2025 through December 31, 2028
(v)Research analyst estimates for Mid Penn for the years ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2024, as well as an estimated long-term annual net income growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2025 through December 31, 2028;
(vi)The pro forma financial impact of the merger on Mid Penn based on certain assumptions related to transaction expenses, cost savings, and purchase accounting adjustments, as provided by senior management and representatives of Mid Penn;
(vii)The publicly reported price, valuation and historical trading activity for Brunswick common stock and Mid Penn common stock and certain stock indices, as well as similar publicly available information for certain other publicly traded companies;
(viii)A comparison of certain market and financial information for Brunswick and Mid Penn with similar financial institutions for which information is publicly available;
40


(ix)The financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the bank and thrift industry on a nationwide and a regional basis, to the extent publicly available; and
(x)Such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as Janney considered relevant.
Janney also took into account our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and our experience in other transactions, as well as our knowledge of the banking industry and our general experience in securities valuation.
In arriving at our opinion, Janney has assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information and representations contained in the materials provided to us by Brunswick and Mid Penn and in the discussions with Brunswick’s and Mid Penn respective management teams. Janney has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such information. Janney has further relied upon the assurances of the management of Brunswick and Mid Penn that the financial information provided has been prepared on a reasonable basis in accordance with industry practice, and that they are not aware of any information or facts that would make any information provided to us incomplete or misleading. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for the purpose of our analyses and this opinion, Janney has assumed that, with respect to financial forecasts, estimates and other forward-looking information reviewed by us, that such information has been reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Brunswick and Mid Penn (as the case may be) as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of Brunswick and Mid Penn and the other matters covered thereby.
Janney has also assumed that the financial estimates and estimates and allowances regarding under-performing and nonperforming assets and net charge-offs have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available information, judgments and estimates of Brunswick and Mid Penn and that such estimates will be realized in the amounts and at the times contemplated thereby. Janney is not an expert in the evaluation of loan and lease portfolios for purposes of assessing the adequacy of the allowances for losses with respect thereto and have assumed and relied upon management’s estimates and projections. Janney was not retained to and did not conduct a physical inspection of any of the properties or facilities of Brunswick or Mid Penn or their respective subsidiaries. In addition, Janney has not reviewed individual credit files nor has Janney made an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities of Brunswick or Mid Penn nor any of their respective subsidiaries, and Janney was not furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals.
Summary of Proposed Merger Consideration and Implied Transaction Metrics. Janney reviewed the financial terms of the proposed transaction using an exchange ratio of 0.598 shares of Mid Penn common stock for each share of Brunswick common stock, Mid Penn’s closing price as of December 19, 2022, of $30.95, and the closing price of Brunswick common stock on December 19, 2022, of $16.45. Janney calculated an aggregate implied transaction value of approximately $53.9 million, or a transaction price per share of $18.25. Based upon financial information for Brunswick as or for the last twelve months (“LTM”) ended September 30, 2022, unless otherwise noted, Janney calculated the following implied transaction metrics:

Net Present Standalone Value Analyses. Janney performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of Mid Penn’s common stock assuming Mid Penn performed in accordance with estimates based on publicly available mean analyst earnings per share estimates. To approximate the terminal value of a share of Mid Penn’s common stock at December 31, 2027, Janney applied a long term growth rate range of 7.5%. The terminal values were then discounted to present values using discount rates ranging from 12.0% to 16.0%. The discount rates selected by Janney were intended to reflect different assumptions regarding the required rates of return for holders or prospective buyers of Mid Penn’s common stock. The analysis and the underlying assumptions yielded a range of
43


values per share of Mid Penn’s common stock of $27.14 to $39.75 when applying a terminal value based on tangible book value and $25.06 to $41.15 when applying a terminal value based on earnings.

Janney calculated the median values for the following relevant transaction pricing multiples for the National Group: the multiple of the offer value to Brunswick’s tangible book value; the multiple of the offer value to Brunswick’s net income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022; and the premium over tangible book value divided by core deposits. Janney used these median multiples to estimate the value of Brunswick’s common stock by applying each median multiple to Brunswick’s tangible common equity, net income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022, and core deposits as of September 30, 2022, respectively.

The Regional Group analysis suggested a range of value of $14.28 to $30.91 per share of Brunswick’s common stock, with a factor-weighted average of $19.70. 
Net Present Value Analyses. Janney performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of Brunswick’s common stock assuming Brunswick performed in accordance with estimates based upon discussions with Brunswick. To approximate the terminal value of a share of Brunswick’s common stock at December 31, 2027, Janney applied price to earnings multiples ranging from 9.8x to 13.8x and multiples of tangible book value ranging from 88.0% to 128.0%. The terminal values were then discounted to present values using discount rates ranging from 12.0% to 16.0%. The discount rates selected by Janney were intended to reflect different assumptions regarding the required rates of return for holders or prospective buyers of Brunswick’s common stock. The analysis and the underlying assumptions yielded a range of values per share of Brunswick’s common stock of $10.21 to $20.70 when applying a terminal value based on tangible book value and $12.67 to $23.86 when applying a terminal value based on earnings.

In connection with its analyses, Janney considered and discussed with Brunswick’s Board of Directors how the present value analyses would be affected by changes in the underlying assumptions. Janney noted that the net present value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such methodology are highly dependent upon the numerous assumptions that must be made, and the results thereof are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results.
Franchise Valuation. Janney used a franchise valuation analysis to estimate the value of Brunswick’s common stock based on the composition of its balance sheet on September 30, 2022. The franchise valuation analysis involves calculating the net asset value of Brunswick and adding a core deposit premium to the net asset value to determine the overall value of Brunswick. In order to calculate Brunswick’s net asset value, Janney adjusted Brunswick’s tangible common equity with an after-tax credit mark of approximately $2,228 thousand. The deposit premium was calculated by assigning a premium to each deposit account type based on the perceived value of each type of deposit to a potential acquiror.

Janney selected premiums of 0% for Time Deposits greater than $250 thousand, 2% for time deposit accounts from $100 thousand to $250 thousand, 4% for time deposit accounts less than $100 thousand, 6% for savings and money market accounts, 8% for NOW accounts, and 10% for demand deposits. Applying these premiums to Brunswick’s deposits suggested an overall premium of 5.57%, or $15.7 million. Janney noted that deposit premiums paid in bank merger transactions vary. Therefore, Janney also selected a range of deposit premiums from 3.57% to 7.57%. The franchise value analysis suggested an overall range of value of $17.93 to $21.91 per share for Brunswick’s common stock with a midpoint of $19.92. The value suggested by a 5.57% deposit premium was $19.92 per share. The following chart provides a summary of the franchise value analysis:

Pro Forma Merger Analysis. Janney performed a pro forma merger analysis that combined projected income statement and balance sheet information of Brunswick and Mid Penn. Janney analyzed the estimated financial impact of the merger on certain projected financial results for Brunswick and Mid Penn and financial forecasts and projections relating to the earnings of Brunswick and Mid Penn, which were derived by Janney from publicly available consensus estimates and discussions with management of Brunswick and Mid Penn, and pro forma assumptions (including, without limitation, purchase accounting adjustments, cost savings and related expenses),
48


which, in the case of Brunswick and Mid Penn were derived by Janney from publicly available information. This analysis indicated that the merger could be accretive to Mid Penn estimated EPS in 2023 and have a 2.6-year payback period for Mid Penn with moderate dilution at closing to estimated tangible book value per share (4% dilutive to Mid Penn tangible book value per share). For all of the above analysis, the actual results achieved by Mid Penn following the merger may vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material.
Based upon the foregoing analyses and other investigations and assumptions set forth in its opinion, without giving specific weightings to any one factor or comparison, Janney determined that the merger consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Brunswick’s common stock.
Mid Penn’s Reasons for the Merger
The board of directors and senior management of Mid Penn periodically review and evaluate the economic and regulatory environments in which Mid Penn and its affiliated companies operate. Part of this review in recent years has included an acknowledgement of the effects of additional oversight and regulation on revenues, expenses and capital requirements for financial institutions, particularly community banks, as a result of the passage in 2010 of the Dodd-Frank Act and other factors, and consideration of competitive factors. The board of directors and senior management generally believe that greater size and scale can help a community-oriented financial institution address the costs of anticipated additional regulation, as well as provide additional revenue opportunities and provide a platform to compete more effectively with larger financial institutions. In light of these observations, Mid Penn has elected to pursue a controlled growth strategy, which may include both organic growth and the targeted acquisition of other financial institutions with strong performance characteristics in alignment with Mid Penn’s community banking philosophy.
Mid Penn entered into the merger agreement to further implement this strategy, as well as to provide additional opportunities for revenue growth. Mid Penn’s board of directors reviewed and discussed the transaction with senior management, as well as its financial and legal advisors, in unanimously determining that the merger was advisable and in the best interests of Mid Penn and its shareholders. In reaching its determination, the Mid Penn board of directors considered a number of factors, including the following material factors:
information regarding the business operations, management, financial condition, asset quality, product offerings, and prospects of Brunswick based on, among other things, presentations by management and Mid Penn’s financial advisors;
the anticipated operating efficiencies, cost savings (estimated to be approximately 37.5% on a pre-tax basis) and opportunities for revenue enhancements of the combined company following the completion of the merger, and the likelihood that they would be achieved after the merger;
the expectation that the transaction will be accretive from an earnings per share perspective (exclusive of non-recurring transaction costs) for the pro forma company in the first full year after completion and have a tangible book value dilution earn back period of less than 2.7 years;
the board’s view that Brunswick’s product offerings and business mix are compatible with those of Mid Penn and provide Mid Penn with opportunities to accelerate commercial loan growth, as well as opportunities to enhance non-interest income growth by expanding Mid Penn’s insurance, wealth management, and mortgage banking activities;
the board’s view that the merger presents the opportunity to more readily deploy the excess capital and liquidity generated by the 2021 public offering of common stock;
the board’s view that the combined company will have the potential for a stronger competitive position in a marketplace where relatively greater size and scale may become increasingly more important factors for financial performance and success;
the board’s view that the transaction will provide an increase in shareholder value and enhance shareholder returns;
49


the expectation that talented and experienced executives of Brunswick will bring their industry and market knowledge to Mid Penn;
the board’s view that Brunswick, like Mid Penn, is focused on customer service and building relationships in local communities;
the deal protection provided by the terms of the merger agreement and the termination fee of $2,050,000 to Mid Penn under certain circumstances;
the results of the due diligence examination of Brunswick and its business operations, including asset quality and composition of its investment portfolio, undertaken by management with the assistance of Mid Penn’s financial advisors;
the financial information and analyses presented by Mid Penn’s financial advisors, and the opinion of Piper Sandler delivered to Mid Penn’s board of directors to the effect that, as of December 20, 2022, and based on and subject to the various factors, limitations, considerations, qualifications and assumptions set forth in the opinion, the merger consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to Mid Penn; and
the review by the board of directors with Pillar+Aught, its legal advisor, of the structure of the merger and the financial and other terms of the merger agreement, including the fixed exchange ratio.
The Mid Penn board of directors also considered potential risks relating to the merger, including the following:
the regulatory and other approvals required in connection with the merger and the expectation that such regulatory approvals will be received in a timely manner and without the imposition of unacceptable conditions;
the potential for diversion of management and employee attention, and for employee attrition, during the period prior to the completion of the merger and the potential effect on Mid Penn’s business and relations with customers, service providers and other stakeholders, whether or not the merger is completed;
expected benefits and synergies sought in the merger, including cost savings and Mid Penn’s ability to market successfully its financial products to Brunswick’s customers, may not be realized or may not be realized within the expected time period;
the challenges of integrating the businesses, operations and employees of Brunswick and Mid Penn; and
the other risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 24.
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by Mid Penn’s board of directors is not exhaustive, but includes the material factors considered by the board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the board of directors of Mid Penn in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these matters, the board of directors did not consider it practical to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its decision. Mid Penn’s board of directors evaluated the factors described above, including asking questions of Mid Penn’s legal and financial advisors. In considering the factors described above, individual members of Mid Penn’s board of directors may have given different weights to different factors. The board of directors relied on the experience and expertise of its legal advisors regarding the structure of the merger and the terms of the merger agreement and on the experience and expertise of its financial advisors for quantitative analysis of the financial terms of the merger. It should also be noted that this explanation of the reasoning of Mid Penn’s board of directors and certain other information presented in this section are forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the heading “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 30.
Recommendation of Mid Penn’s Board of Directors
Mid Penn’s board of directors believes that the terms of the transaction are in the best interests of Mid Penn and has unanimously approved the merger agreement. Accordingly, Mid Penn’s board of directors unanimously
50


recommends that Mid Penn shareholders vote “FOR” the Mid Penn merger proposal. In addition, the Mid Penn board of directors unanimously recommends the Mid Penn shareholders vote “FOR” Mid Penn amendment proposal 1, “FOR” Mid Penn amendment proposal 2 and “FOR” the Mid Penn adjournment proposal.
Opinion of Mid Penn’s Financial Advisor
Mid Penn retained Piper Sandler to render a fairness opinion to Mid Penn’s board of directors in connection with Mid Penn’s business combination with Brunswick. Mid Penn selected Piper Sandler because Piper Sandler is a nationally recognized investment banking firm whose principal business specialty is financial institutions. In the ordinary course of its investment banking business, Piper Sandler is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions.
At the December 20, 2022 meeting at which Mid Penn’s board of directors considered the merger and the merger agreement, Piper Sandler delivered to the board of directors its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing on December 20, 2022, to the effect that, as of such date, the merger consideration was fair to Mid Penn from a financial point of view. The full text of Piper Sandler’s opinion is attached as Annex C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The opinion outlines the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Piper Sandler in rendering its opinion. The description of the opinion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. Holders of Mid Penn common stock are urged to read the entire opinion carefully in connection with their consideration of the proposed merger.
Piper Sandler’s opinion was directed to the board of directors of Mid Penn in connection with its consideration of the merger and the merger agreement and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of Mid Penn as to how any such shareholder should vote at any meeting of shareholders called to consider and vote upon the approval of the merger and the merger agreement. Piper Sandler’s opinion was directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration to Mid Penn and did not address the underlying business decision of Mid Penn to engage in the merger, the form or structure of the merger or any other transactions contemplated in the merger agreement, the relative merits of the merger as compared to any other alternative transactions or business strategies that might exist for Mid Penn or the effect of any other transaction in which Mid Penn might engage. Piper Sandler also did not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to be received in the merger by any officer, director or employee of Mid Penn or Brunswick, or any class of such persons, if any, relative to the compensation to be received in the merger by any other shareholder. Piper Sandler’s opinion was approved by Piper Sandler’s fairness opinion committee.
In connection with its opinion, Piper Sandler reviewed and considered, among other things:
a draft of the agreement and plan of merger, dated December 15, 2022;
certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Mid Penn and its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Mid Penn Bank, that Piper Sandler deemed relevant;
certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Brunswick and its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Brunswick Bank, that Piper Sandler deemed relevant;
internal net income projections for Mid Penn for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the year ending December 31, 2023 with a long-term annual earnings per share growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2026 and estimated dividends per share for Mid Penn for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2026, as provided by the senior management of Mid Penn;
internal net income projections for Brunswick for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 with a long-term annual earnings per share growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2026 and estimated dividends per share for
51


Brunswick for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2026, as provided by the senior management of Brunswick;
the pro forma financial impact of the merger on Mid Penn based on certain assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings, as well as the establishment of certain reserves for current expected credit losses (CECL) accounting standards, as provided by the senior management of Mid Penn;
the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for Mid Penn common stock and Brunswick common stock, including a comparison of certain stock trading information for Mid Penn common stock, Brunswick common stock and certain stock indices, as well as similar publicly available information for certain other companies, the securities of which are publicly traded;
a comparison of certain financial information for Mid Penn and Brunswick with similar financial institutions for which information is publicly available;
the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the bank and thrift industry (on a regional basis), to the extent publicly available;
the current market environment generally and the banking environment in particular; and
such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as Piper Sandler considered relevant.
Piper Sandler also discussed with certain members of the senior management of Mid Penn the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Mid Penn and held similar discussions with certain members of the senior management of Brunswick and its representatives regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Brunswick.
In performing its review, Piper Sandler relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was available to and reviewed by Piper Sandler from public sources, that was provided to Piper Sandler by Mid Penn, Brunswick or their respective representatives, or that was otherwise reviewed by Piper Sandler, and Piper Sandler assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering its opinion without any independent verification or investigation. Piper Sandler relied on the assurances of the respective managements of Mid Penn and Brunswick that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would have made any of such information inaccurate or misleading. Piper Sandler was not asked to and did not undertake an independent verification of any of such information and Piper Sandler did not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. Piper Sandler did not make an independent evaluation or perform an appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Mid Penn or Brunswick, nor was Piper Sandler furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. Piper Sandler rendered no opinion or evaluation on the collectability of any assets or the future performance of any loans of Mid Penn or Brunswick. Piper Sandler did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Mid Penn or Brunswick, or of the combined entity after the merger, and Piper Sandler did not review any individual credit files relating to Mid Penn or Brunswick. Piper Sandler assumed, with Mid Penn’s consent, that the respective allowances for loan losses for both Mid Penn and Brunswick were adequate to cover such losses and would be adequate on a pro forma basis for the combined entity.
In preparing its analyses, Piper Sandler used internal net income projections for Mid Penn for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the year ending December 31, 2023 with a long-term annual earnings per share growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2026 and estimated dividends per share for Mid Penn for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2026, as provided by the senior management of Mid Penn. In addition, Piper Sandler used internal net income projections for Brunswick for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 with a long-term annual earnings per share growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2026 and estimated dividends per share for Brunswick for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2026, as provided by the senior
52


management of Brunswick. Piper Sandler also received and used in its pro forma analyses certain assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings, as well as the establishment of certain reserves for CECL accounting standards, as provided by the senior management of Mid Penn. With respect to the foregoing information, the respective senior managements of Mid Penn and Brunswick confirmed to Piper Sandler that such information reflected the best currently available projections, estimates and judgments of those respective managements as to the future financial performance of Mid Penn and Brunswick, respectively, and the other matters covered thereby, and Piper Sandler assumed that the future financial performance reflected in such information would be achieved. Piper Sandler expressed no opinion as to such information, or the assumptions on which such information was based. Piper Sandler also assumed that there had been no material change in the respective assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of Mid Penn or Brunswick since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to Piper Sandler. Piper Sandler assumed in all respects material to its analyses that Mid Penn and Brunswick would remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to its analyses.
Piper Sandler also assumed, with Mid Penn’s consent, that (i) each of the parties to the merger agreement would comply in all material respects with all material terms and conditions of the merger agreement and all related agreements, that all of the representations and warranties contained in such agreements were true and correct in all material respects, that each of the parties to such agreements would perform in all material respects all of the covenants and other obligations required to be performed by such party under such agreements and that the conditions precedent in such agreements were not and would not be waived, (ii) in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases with respect to the merger, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition would be imposed that would have an adverse effect on Mid Penn, Brunswick, the merger or any related transactions, and (iii) the merger and any related transactions would be consummated in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement without any waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof and in compliance with all applicable laws and other requirements. Finally, with Mid Penn’s consent, Piper Sandler relied upon the advice that Mid Penn received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Piper Sandler expressed no opinion as to any such matters.
Piper Sandler’s opinion was necessarily based on financial, economic, regulatory, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Piper Sandler as of, the date thereof. Events occurring after the date thereof could materially affect Piper Sandler’s opinion. Piper Sandler has not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw its opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date thereof. Piper Sandler expressed no opinion as to the trading value of Mid Penn common stock or Brunswick common stock at any time or what the value of Mid Penn common stock would be once it is actually received by the holders of Brunswick common stock.
In rendering its opinion, Piper Sandler performed a variety of financial analyses. The summary below is not a complete description of all the analyses underlying Piper Sandler’s opinion or the presentation made by Piper Sandler to Mid Penn’s board of directors, but is a summary of the material analyses performed and presented by Piper Sandler. The summary includes information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, these tables must be read together with the accompanying text. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving subjective judgments as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. The process, therefore, is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. Piper Sandler believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the factors and analyses to be considered without considering all factors and analyses, or attempting to ascribe relative weights to some or all such factors and analyses, could create an incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying its opinion. Also, no company included in Piper Sandler’s comparative analyses described below is identical to Mid Penn or Brunswick and no transaction is identical to the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of comparable companies or transactions involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect the public trading values or transaction values, as the case may be, of Mid Penn and Brunswick and the companies to which they were compared. In arriving at its opinion, Piper Sandler did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis
53


or factor that it considered. Rather, Piper Sandler made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Piper Sandler did not form an opinion as to whether any individual analysis or factor (positive or negative) considered in isolation supported or failed to support its opinion, rather, Piper Sandler made its determination as to the fairness of the merger consideration to Mid Penn on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all its analyses taken as a whole.
In performing its analyses, Piper Sandler also made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions and various other matters, many of which cannot be predicted and are beyond the control of Mid Penn, Brunswick, and Piper Sandler. The analyses performed by Piper Sandler are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, both of which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Piper Sandler prepared its analyses solely for purposes of rendering its opinion and provided such analyses to Mid Penn’s board of directors at its December 20, 2022 meeting. Estimates on the values of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or their securities may actually be sold. Such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty and actual values may be materially different. Accordingly, Piper Sandler’s analyses do not necessarily reflect the value of Mid Penn common stock or Brunswick common stock or the prices at which Mid Penn or Brunswick common stock may be sold at any time. The analyses of Piper Sandler and its opinion were among a number of factors taken into consideration by Mid Penn’s board of directors in making its determination to approve the merger agreement and the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of Mid Penn’s board of directors with respect to the fairness of the merger consideration.
Summary of Proposed Merger Consideration and Implied Transaction Metrics.
Piper Sandler reviewed the financial terms of the proposed merger. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger each share of Brunswick common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the transaction, except for certain shares as set forth in the merger agreement, shall be converted into the right to receive, without interest, at the election of the holder thereof and in accordance with the procedures set forth in the merger agreement, the following: (i) for each share of Brunswick common stock with respect to which an election to receive cash has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, the right to receive $18.00; (ii) for each share of Brunswick common stock with respect to which an election to receive Mid Penn common stock has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, the right to receive 0.598 of a share of Mid Penn common stock; and (iii) for each share of Brunswick common stock other than shares as to which a cash election or a stock election has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, the right to receive such stock consideration or cash consideration as determined in accordance with the merger agreement, subject to adjustment as set forth in the merger agreement. The merger agreement provides, generally, that the total number of shares of Brunswick common stock entitled to receive the cash consideration shall be equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (i) 0.5 and (ii) the total number of shares of Brunswick common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, with all other shares of Brunswick common stock converted into the right to receive the stock consideration. Piper Sandler calculated an aggregate implied transaction value of approximately $54.3 million and an implied purchase price per share of $18.41 consisting of the implied value of 2,840,974 shares of Brunswick common stock and 222,072 Brunswick options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $8.97, and based on the closing price of Mid Penn common stock on December 16, 2022. Based upon financial information for Brunswick as of or for the last twelve months (“LTM”) ended September 30, 2022 and the closing price of Brunswick’s common stock on December 16, 2022, Piper Sandler calculated the following implied transaction metrics:

Net Present Value Analyses.
Piper Sandler performed an analysis that estimated the net present value of a share of Mid Penn common stock assuming Mid Penn performed in accordance with internal net income projections for Mid Penn for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the year ending December 31, 2023 with a long-term annual earnings per share growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2026 and estimated dividends per share for Mid Penn for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2026, as provided by the senior management of Mid Penn. To approximate the terminal value of a
58


share of Mid Penn common stock at December 31, 2026, Piper Sandler applied price to 2026 earnings multiples ranging from 7.0x to 12.0x and multiples of December 31, 2026 tangible book value ranging from 110% to 160%. The terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 10.0% to 14.0%, which were chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of Mid Penn common stock. As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicated an imputed range of values per share of Mid Penn common stock of $20.19 to $37.98 when applying multiples of earnings and $25.93 to $42.37 when applying multiples of tangible book value.

Piper Sandler also considered and discussed with Mid Penn’s board of directors how this analysis would be affected by changes in the underlying assumptions, including variations with respect to earnings. To illustrate this impact, Piper Sandler performed a similar analysis, assuming Mid Penn’s earnings varied from 20.0% above projections to 20.0% below projections. This analysis resulted in the following range of per share values for Mid Penn’s common stock, applying the price to 2026 earnings multiples range of 7.0x to 12.0x referred to above and a discount rate of 12.04%.

Piper Sandler also considered and discussed with Mid Penn’s board of directors how this analysis would be affected by changes in the underlying assumptions, including variations with respect to earnings. To illustrate this impact, Piper Sandler performed a similar analysis assuming Brunswick’s earnings varied from 20.0% above projections to 20.0% below projections. This analysis resulted in the following range of per share values for Brunswick common stock, applying the price to earnings multiples range of 8.0x to 13.0x referred to above and a discount rate of 12.04%.

Piper Sandler noted that the net present value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such methodology are highly dependent upon the numerous assumptions that must be made, and the results thereof are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results.
Pro Forma Transaction Analysis.
Piper Sandler analyzed certain potential pro forma effects of the merger on Mid Penn assuming the transaction closes on June 30, 2023. Piper Sandler utilized the following information and assumptions: (a) internal net income projections for Mid Penn for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the year ending December 31, 2023 with a long-term annual earnings per share growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2026 and estimated dividends per share for Mid Penn for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2026, as provided by the senior management of Mid Penn, (b)  internal net income projections for Brunswick for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 with a long-term annual earnings per share growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2026 and estimated dividends per share for Brunswick for the quarter
61


ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2026, as provided by the senior management of Brunswick, and (c) certain assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings, as well as the establishment of certain reserves for CECL accounting standards, as provided by the senior management of Mid Penn. The analysis indicated that the transaction could be accretive to Mid Penn’s estimated earnings per share (excluding one-time transaction costs and expenses) in the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2026 and dilutive to Mid Penn’s estimated tangible book value per share at close and in the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2025 and accretive to Mid Penn’s estimated tangible book value per share in the year ending December 31, 2026.
In connection with this analysis, Piper Sandler considered and discussed with Mid Penn’s board of directors how the analysis would be affected by changes in the underlying assumptions, including the impact of final purchase accounting adjustments determined at the closing of the transaction, and noted that the actual results achieved by the combined company may vary from projected results and the variations may be material.
Piper Sandler’s Relationship.
Piper Sandler received a $200,000 fee from Mid Penn upon rendering its opinion. Mid Penn has also agreed to indemnify Piper Sandler against certain claims and liabilities arising out of Piper Sandler’s engagement and to reimburse Piper Sandler for certain of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Piper Sandler’s engagement.
In the two years preceding the date of Piper Sandler’s opinion, Piper Sandler provided certain other investment banking services to Mid Penn. In summary, Piper Sandler (i) acted as financial advisor to Mid Penn in connection with Mid Penn’s acquisition of Riverview Financial Corporation, which transaction closed in November 2021 and for which Piper Sandler received approximately $1,350,000 in compensation, and (ii) acted as book manager in connection with Mid Penn’s follow-on offering of common stock, which transaction occurred in April 2021 and for which Piper Sandler received approximately $2,100,000 in compensation. Piper Sandler did not provide any investment banking services to Brunswick in the two years preceding the date of its opinion. In the ordinary course of Piper Sandler’s business as a broker-dealer, Piper Sandler may purchase securities from and sell securities to Mid Penn, Brunswick and their respective affiliates. Piper Sandler may also actively trade the equity and debt securities of Mid Penn and Brunswick for Piper Sandler’s account and for the accounts of Piper Sandler’s customers.
Certain Prospective Financial Information of the Parties
In connection with the proposed merger, Mid Penn provided certain of its prospective financial information to Brunswick and Janney, the financial advisor to Brunswick, and Brunswick provided certain of its prospective financial information to Mid Penn and Piper Sandler, the financial advisor to Mid Penn.
The prospective financial information reflects numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to each of Mid Penn’s and Brunswick’s respective businesses, all of which are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the parties’ control. The prospective financial information is subjective in many respects and thus is susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. The prospective financial information may also be affected by the parties’ ability to achieve strategic goals, objectives and targets over the applicable periods. As such, these projections constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the various risks set forth in the sections of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.” The prospective financial information generally was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or complying with GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Neither Mid Penn’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor Brunswick’s independent auditor, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information included below, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and they assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information. This information was prepared solely for internal use and is
62


subjective in many respects. Neither Mid Penn nor Brunswick can provide any assurance that the unaudited prospective financial information and the underlying estimates and assumptions will be realized. In addition, since the unaudited prospective financial information covers multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year.
Furthermore, the prospective financial information does not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date it was prepared. Neither party can give any assurance that, had the unaudited prospective financial information been prepared as of the date of this document, similar estimates and assumptions would be used. Neither party intends to, and each disclaims any obligation to, make publicly available any update or other revision to the unaudited prospective financial information to reflect circumstances existing since its preparation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error, or to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions.
The unaudited prospective financial information does not take into account the possible financial and other effects on either Mid Penn or Brunswick, as applicable, of the merger and does not attempt to predict or suggest future results of the surviving company. The unaudited prospective financial information does not give effect to the merger, including the impact of negotiating or executing the merger agreement, the expenses that may be incurred in connection with completing the merger, the potential synergies that may be achieved by the surviving company as a result of the merger, the effect on either Mid Penn or Brunswick, as applicable, of any business or strategic decision or action that has been or will be taken as a result of the merger agreement having been executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions which would likely have been taken if the merger agreement had not been executed, but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the merger. Further, the unaudited prospective financial information does not take into account the effect on either Mid Penn or Brunswick, as applicable, of any possible failure of the merger to occur.
Piper Sandlerand Janney used, in certain of the analyses performed in connection with rendering its opinion to the Mid Penn and Brunswick board of directors, the following projected financial information for each of the companies, which was developed based upon information provided by management of each of Brunswick and Mid Penn:

In addition to the foregoing, Janney assumed a long-term annual growth rate of 18% for Brunswick, as provided by Brunswick management, and 7.5% for Mid Penn for the years ending December 31, 2027 and 2028.
You are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information set forth above. The inclusion of the prospective financial information in this joint proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that any of Mid Penn, Brunswick, Piper Sandler, Janney, or their affiliates, advisors or representatives considered or considers such information to be necessarily predictive of actual future events, and the prospective financial information should not be relied upon as such. None of Mid Penn, Brunswick, Piper Sandler, Janney or their respective affiliates, advisors, officers, directors or representatives can give any assurance that actual results will not differ from the assumptions, and none of them undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise or reconcile the assumptions to reflect circumstances existing after the date such information was generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error. None of Mid Penn, Brunswick, Piper Sandler, Janney or their respective affiliates, advisors or representatives makes any representation to any shareholder regarding the prospective financial information. The prospective financial information is not being included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus to influence a shareholder’s decision regarding how to vote on any given proposal. In light of the foregoing, and considering that the parties’ special meetings will be held several months after the unaudited prospective financial information was prepared, as well as the uncertainties inherent in any forecasted information, Mid Penn shareholders and Brunswick shareholders are cautioned not to place unwarranted reliance on such information.
Board of Directors and Management of Mid Penn Following Completion of the Merger
Following completion of the merger, the then current directors and executive officers of Mid Penn and Mid Penn Bank will continue in office. At the effective time of the merger, one (1) of the current directors of Brunswick selected by the board of directors of Brunswick, with the approval of Mid Penn’s board of directors, will be added to the board of directors of Mid Penn.
Brunswick Shareholders Do Not Have Dissenters’ Rights in the Merger
Neither New Jersey law nor the organizational and operational documents of Brunswick provide Brunswick shareholders with dissenters’ rights in the merger.
Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger
The merger is subject to the approval of, or waiver of formal application and approval requirements from, the FRB under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”) and the NJDB under the New Jersey Banking Act of 1948, as amended (the “NJ Banking Act”).
In reviewing Mid Penn’s application for approval of the merger under the BHC Act, the FRB must consider, among other factors, the competitive effect of the merger, the managerial and financial resources and future prospects of Mid Penn, the effect of the merger on the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, including the records of performance of the subsidiary banks of the merging companies in meeting the credit needs of the communities under the Community Reinvestment Act, the effectiveness of Mid Penn in combating money laundering activities, and the extent to which the merger would result in greater or more concentrated risks to the stability of the United States banking or financial system. Applicable regulations require publication of notice of the application and an opportunity for the public to comment on the application in writing and to request a hearing. The FRB may waive the application requirement under certain conditions.
The bank merger of Brunswick Bank with and into Mid Penn Bank is also subject to approval by the FDIC under the federal Bank Merger Act and by the PDB under the Pennsylvania Banking Code and NJDB under the NJ Banking Act. In general, the factors considered by the FDIC, the PDB and the NJDB to approve the bank merger are similar to the factors described above relating to the merger.
Mid Penn has filed or will file all required applications, notices and waiver requests to obtain the regulatory approvals and non-objections necessary to consummate the merger. While Mid Penn does not know of any reason why it would not obtain the approvals in a timely manner, Mid Penn cannot be certain when or if it will receive the
64


regulatory approvals. The parties are not aware of any other governmental approvals or actions that may be required to consummate the merger. If any other approval or action is required, it is contemplated that such approval or action would be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.
65


INTERESTS OF BRUNSWICK’S DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IN THE MERGER
In considering the recommendation of Brunswick’s board of directors with respect to the merger, Brunswick’s shareholders should be aware that the executive officers and directors of Brunswick and Brunswick Bank have certain interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Brunswick shareholders generally. Brunswick’s board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in making its recommendation that Brunswick shareholders vote to adopt the merger proposal.
Treatment of Stock Options
Certain directors and executive officers hold outstanding stock options to purchase shares of Brunswick common stock granted under the Brunswick Bancorp 2019 Stock Option Plan (the “Brunswick Equity Plan”). The Brunswick Equity Plan, including the number of shares of Brunswick common stock reserved thereunder, has been previously approved by shareholders of Brunswick.
The merger agreement provides that, at the effective time of the merger, each option to purchase shares of Brunswick common stock outstanding immediately before the effective time of the merger, whether or not vested, will be canceled and exchanged for a cash payment equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Brunswick common stock that are issuable upon exercise of such option and (y) the Cash Consideration, less the per share exercise price of such option, without interest.
The following table reflects the number of stock options held by each executive officer and director as of December 20, 2022, the date that the merger agreement was executed, without regard to any subsequent exercise of stock options pursuant to the terms of the awards, prior to the effective date of the merger. The estimated value of the stock options is based on (1) the difference between eighteen dollars ($18.00) and the exercise price multiplied by (2) the total number of shares subject to each stock option award. As of the date of the merger agreement, December 20, 2022, 74,170 stock options held by executive officers and directors were vested.

Treatment of Restricted Stock
Certain directors and executive officers hold shares of Brunswick restricted stock. The merger agreement provides that, at the effective time of the merger, each share of Brunswick restricted stock that is outstanding immediately before the effective time shall vest in full and shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to the merger agreement, less applicable withholding tax,
66


and treating shares of Brunswick common stock subject to such Brunswick restricted stock in the same manner as all other shares of Brunswick common stock for such purposes.
The following table sets forth the number of shares of restricted stock held by each executive officer as of December 20, 2022, the date the merger agreement was executed, and which are expected to remain unvested. Restricted shares have only been granted to executive officers of Brunswick. All of the restricted shares will vest upon closing of the merger. The estimated value of the restricted stock assumes the election of Cash Consideration by all shares of restricted stock.

Employment Agreements with Certain Executive Officers
Each of Brunswick and Brunswick Bank are parties to employment agreements with Messrs. Gumina, Frungillo, Jr., Gazerwitz, Rada and Carabelli and Ms. Tuccillo. Each agreement has a term ending on December 31, 2025 and automatically renews for a one year period at the end of the term unless either party gives prior written notice of its intention not to renew the agreement. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Mid Penn has agreed to honor all benefits payable under the employment agreements, which provide certain benefits in the event an employee’s employment is terminated under specified circumstances, or upon a change in control, such as the merger.

In the event of a change in control of Brunswick, each employee subject to an employment agreement, other than Mr. Frungillo, Jr., is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to two (2.0) times the sum of (i) the employee’s current annual base salary plus (ii) the employee’s highest cash bonus paid over the prior three years. Mr. Frungillo, Jr. is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to two and one-half (2.5) times the sum of (i) his current annual base salary plus (ii) his highest cash bonus paid over the prior three years. In addition, each employee will be entitled to receive from Brunswick or its successor hospital, health, medical and life insurance on the terms and at the cost to the employee as the employee was receiving such benefits upon the date of the employee’s termination in connection with a change in control for a period of twenty (24) months from the effective date of the change in control. If the payments to be paid under any employment agreement are determined to be subject to excise tax or penalties under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), the amount to be paid will be reduced to an amount equal to one (1) dollar less than the amount which would trigger such excise tax.
The non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in the employment agreements apply for a period of one year after a change in control, such as the merger.
In connection with execution of the merger agreement, each of the executive officers subject to an employment agreement described above entered into a Settlement Agreement with Mid Penn, Brunswick and Brunswick Bank terminating each employment agreement in exchange for a payment equal to the amount each executive would have received under each respective employment agreement, effective as of and conditioned upon the closing of the merger. Payment of the amounts due under the Settlement Agreements is also conditioned on each executive executing a release in favor of Mid Penn, Brunswick, Brunswick Bank and their respective affiliates.
For an estimate of the amounts payable to Brunswick’s named executive officers (Messrs. Frungillo, Jr., Gumina and Rada) under their employment agreement and in connection with the merger, see “Interests of Brunswick’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger —Merger-Related Compensation for Brunswick’s Named Executive Officers” below.

Merger-Related Executive Compensation for Brunswick’s Named Executive Officers
The following table sets forth the amount of payments and benefits that each of Brunswick’s named executive officers would receive as a result of the merger, assuming the closing date of the merger was December 31, 2022. The table does not include the value of benefits that the named executive officers are vested in without regard to the occurrence of a change in control. Amounts below are based on certain assumptions that may or may not actually occur. As a result, the actual amounts to be received by a named executive officer may materially differ from the amounts set forth below.

Indemnification
Pursuant to the merger agreement, Mid Penn has agreed that, following the effective time of the merger, it will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former directors or officers or employees of Brunswick and its subsidiaries against all liabilities incurred in connection with any litigation arising out of or pertaining to, the fact that such person is or was a director or officer or employee of Brunswick, or its subsidiaries or, at Brunswick’s request, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise and pertaining to matters, acts or omissions existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time (including matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by therein), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the effective time, to the fullest extent permitted under Brunswick’s articles of incorporation and under Brunswick’s bylaws (subject to applicable law), including provisions relating to advances of expenses incurred in the defense of any litigation; provided, that the indemnified party to whom expenses are advanced provides a written undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification.
Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance
Mid Penn has further agreed, for a period of six years after the effective time of the merger, to maintain the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies of Brunswick (provided, that Mid Penn may substitute policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are substantially no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred prior to the effective time of the merger. Mid Penn is not obligated to make aggregate premium payments for such six-year period in respect of such policy (or coverage replacing such policy), which exceed, for the portion related to Brunswick’s directors and officers, 200% of annual premium payments paid on Brunswick’s current policy in effect as of the date of the merger agreement. Mid Penn will use reasonable efforts to maintain the most advantageous insurance policies obtainable for such amount.
68


THE MERGER AGREEMENT
The following describes certain aspects of the merger, including material provisions of the merger agreement. The following description of the merger agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the merger agreement, which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A and is incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. We urge you to read the merger agreement carefully and in its entirety, as it is the legal document governing this merger.
Terms of the Merger
Each of the Brunswick board of directors and the Mid Penn board of directors has unanimously adopted the agreement and plan of merger, which provides for the merger of Brunswick with and into Mid Penn. Mid Penn will be the surviving entity in the corporate merger. Each share of Mid Penn common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to completion of the merger will remain issued and outstanding as one share of common stock of Mid Penn. Each share of Brunswick common stock issued and outstanding at the effective time of the merger (with the exception of Company-Owned Stock, as defined below) will be converted into the right to elect to receive, subject to adjustment and proration, the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration. See “—Consideration to Be Received in the Merger.” Company-Owned Stock means shares of Brunswick stock held in treasury by Brunswick or any of its subsidiaries or any shares of Brunswick stock held by Mid Penn or any of its subsidiaries, other than in a fiduciary or agency capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted. Each share of Brunswick common stock held as Company-Owned Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be canceled and retired and no consideration will be issued in exchange for Company-Owned Stock. Mid Penn does not own any shares of common stock of Brunswick.
The Mid Penn articles of incorporation and bylaws will be the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the combined entity after completion of the merger. The merger agreement provides that Mid Penn, with the written consent of Brunswick, may change the method of effecting the merger if and to the extent it deems such change to be necessary, appropriate, or desirable. No such change will alter the amount or kind of merger consideration to be provided under the merger agreement, adversely affect the tax treatment of the merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, or materially impede or delay completion of the merger.
Closing and Effective Time of the Merger
The merger will become effective as set forth in the articles of merger to be filed with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It currently is anticipated that the effective time of the merger will occur in the second quarter of 2023, but we cannot guarantee when or if the merger will be completed.
Consideration to Be Received in the Merger
The merger agreement provides that Brunswick shareholders will have the right, with respect to each of their shares of Brunswick common stock, to elect to receive, subject to certain proration, adjustment and other provisions as described below, either (A) Eighteen Dollars ($18.00) (the “Cash Consideration”) or (B) 0.598 shares of Mid Penn common stock (the “Stock Consideration” and together with the Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). Fifty percent (50%) of the Brunswick common stock outstanding as of the effective time of the merger will be converted into the Cash Consideration and the remaining fifty percent (50%) will be converted into the Stock Consideration.
No guarantee can be made that you will receive the form of Merger Consideration that you elect. As a result of the proration provisions and other limitations described in this document and in the merger agreement, you may receive Mid Penn common stock or cash in amounts that vary from the amounts you elect to receive. The proration of stock and cash to be issued in the merger is also subject to potential adjustment to ensure that the merger will qualify as a reorganization under the Code (i.e., to satisfy the continuity of interest test).
69


Non-Electing Brunswick Shareholders
Brunswick shareholders who make no election for Cash Consideration or Stock Consideration in the merger or who do not make a valid election will be deemed to have elected either Stock Consideration or Cash Consideration depending on the proration adjustments required by the merger agreement (discussed herein).
Proration
The total number of shares of Brunswick common stock (including restricted stock) to be entitled to receive the Cash Consideration shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of all issued and outstanding shares immediately prior to the effective time. Similarly, the total number of shares of Brunswick common stock (including restricted stock) to be entitled to receive the Stock Consideration shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding shares immediately prior to the effective time.
To achieve this, if the aggregate number of shares of Brunswick common stock with respect to which an election to receive the Cash Consideration (the “Cash Election Shares”) exceeds fifty percent (50%) of all issued and outstanding shares immediately prior to the effective time, all shares of Brunswick common stock to which an election to receive the Stock Consideration applies and all non-election shares shall be converted into the right to receive Stock Consideration and Brunswick common stock shares for which an election to receive the Cash Consideration has been received will be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration by multiplying such shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is fifty percent (50%) of all issued and outstanding shares and the denominator of which is the number of Cash Election Shares. The remaining Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive Stock Consideration.
Conversely, if the number of Cash Election Shares is less than fifty percent (50%) of all issued and outstanding shares immediately prior to the effective time (this amount being referred to as the “Shortfall Number”), all shares of Brunswick common stock to which an election to receive Cash Consideration applies shall be converted into the right to receive Cash Consideration and the non-election and shares to which an election to receive Stock Consideration shall be treated in the following manner:
If the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of non-election shares, all stock election shares shall be converted into the right to receive Stock Consideration and the non-election shares shall be converted into the right to receive Cash Consideration by multiplying the number of non-election shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of non-election shares. The remaining non-election shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration.
If the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of non-election shares, all non-election shares shall be converted into the right to receive Cash Consideration and Brunswick common stock shares for which an election to receive Stock Consideration shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration by multiplying the number of stock election shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the Shortfall Number exceeds the total number of non-election shares and the denominator of which is the total number of stock election shares. The remaining stock election shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration.
Adjustment
The Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration are fixed at Eighteen Dollars ($18.00) per share of Brunswick common stock and 0.598 shares of Mid Penn common stock per share of Brunswick common stock, respectively. Even so, if Brunswick’s consolidated shareholders’ equity (calculated in accordance with the merger agreement) as of the Measuring Date (as defined in the merger agreement) is less than the Minimum Brunswick Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity (as defined in the merger agreement) on such date, the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration will automatically be adjusted downward.
The date of the Measuring Date depends on when the last condition to close the merger is satisfied or waived. If between (A) April 1st to 15th, 2023, the Measuring Date is March 31, 2023, (B) April 16 to May 15, 2023, the Measuring Date is April 30, 2023, (C) May 16 to June 15, 2023, the Measuring Date is May 31, 2023 and (D) on or after June 16, 2023, the Measuring Date is June 30, 2023.
70


If the Measuring Date is (A) March 31, 2023, Brunswick’s Minimum Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity must be $43,600,000, (B) April 30, 2023, Brunswick’s Minimum Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity must be $43,900,000, (C) May 31, 2023, Brunswick’s Minimum Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity must be $44,200,000 and (D) June 30, 2023, Brunswick’s Minimum Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity must be $44,500,000.
As of [l], 2023, Brunswick’s consolidated shareholders’ equity (calculated in accordance with the merger agreement) was [l].
If there is a shortfall between the minimum figures above and the actual Brunswick Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity on such Measuring Date, then the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration are automatically adjusted downward from eighteen dollars ($18.00) per share and 0.598 shares of Mid Penn common stock, respectively, by reducing the aggregate merger consideration on a dollar-for-dollar basis and re-allocating the adjusted aggregate merger consideration across all Brunswick outstanding shares. For example:
Assuming that the last condition to close occurs on or after June 16, 2023 and Brunswick’s Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity as of June 30, 2023 is Forty-Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($43,500,000), the Cash Consideration would be adjusted from Eighteen Dollars ($18.00) per share to Seventeen and 65/100 Dollars ($17.65) per share and the Exchange Ratio would be adjusted from 0.5980 to 0.5864, demonstrated as follows:
Consolidated Shareholder’s Equity Shortfall
$1,000,000 
($44,500,000 - $43,500,000)
Adjusted Deal Value
$50,137,532 
($51,137,532 - $1,000,000)
Cash Consideration (adjusted)
$17.65 
($50,137,532/2,840,974)
Exchange Ratio (adjusted)
0.5864 
($17.65/$30.10)
Given the foregoing, the true value of the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration received by a Brunswick shareholder may differ from the value of the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration on the date the merger agreement was signed or the date of Brunswick’s shareholders meeting.
Conversion
The conversion of Brunswick’s common stock into the merger consideration will occur automatically upon completion of the merger. Under the merger agreement, after the effective time, Mid Penn will cause its exchange agent to pay the Merger Consideration to each Brunswick shareholder who surrenders the appropriate documents to the exchange agent.
Election Procedures for Shareholders; Exchange of Certificates
If you own Brunswick common stock, you will receive under separate cover an election form. The election form entitles the record holder of Brunswick common stock to specify (A) the number of shares of Brunswick common stock owned by such holder for which the holder elects to receive Stock Consideration and (B) the number of shares of Brunswick common stock owned by such holder for which the holder elects to receive Cash Consideration. If no election is made, then such holders will be deemed a non-electing Brunswick shareholder and be treated as set forth above.
To make an effective election, a shareholder of record must submit a properly completed election form to Computershare, which will be acting as the exchange agent, on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 25th day following the mailing date of the election form to Brunswick shareholders, or the election deadline. You may change or revoke your election at any time prior to the election deadline by written notice received by the exchange agent prior to the election deadline accompanied by a properly completed and signed, revised election form. You may revoke your election by written notice received by the exchange agent prior to the election deadline. All elections will be revoked automatically if the merger agreement is terminated.
You may not revoke or change your elections following the election deadline.
If you do not submit a properly completed election form or revoke your election form prior to the election deadline, your shares of Brunswick common stock will be designated as non-election shares and treated as outlined above. On
71


or before the closing date of the merger, Mid Penn will cause to be delivered to the exchange agent certificates, or at Mid Penn’s option, evidence of shares in book-entry form, representing the shares of Mid Penn common stock to be issued in the merger. In addition, Mid Penn will deliver to the exchange agent an aggregate amount of cash consideration sufficient to permit payment of the aggregate cash consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Mid Penn common stock.
Promptly after the effective time of the merger, the exchange agent will mail to each Brunswick shareholder of record at the effective time of the merger, notice advising such holder of the effectiveness of the merger, including a form of letter of transmittal (in a form satisfactory to Mid Penn and Brunswick) containing instructions for use in surrendering the shareholder’s Brunswick stock certificates. When such Brunswick shareholders deliver their Brunswick stock certificates or book-entry shares to the exchange agent with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and any other required documents, their Brunswick stock certificates or book-entry shares will be cancelled and in exchange, such Brunswick shareholders will receive:
a Mid Penn stock certificate, or at the election of Mid Penn, a statement reflecting shares issued in book-entry form, representing the number of whole shares of Mid Penn common stock that they are entitled to receive under the merger agreement; and/or
a check representing the amount of cash that they are entitled to receive (including cash in lieu of fractional shares).
Dividends and Distributions
Until Brunswick common stock certificates are surrendered for exchange, any dividends or other distributions declared after the effective time of the merger with respect to Mid Penn common stock into which shares of Brunswick common stock may have been converted will accrue but will not be paid. Mid Penn will pay to former Brunswick shareholders any unpaid dividends or other distributions, without interest, only after they have surrendered their Brunswick stock certificates.
Pursuant to the merger agreement, Brunswick is permitted to pay a Twelve Cent ($0.12) per share special cash dividend in the first quarter of 2023, consistent with past practices.
Representations and Warranties
The merger agreement contains customary representations and warranties of Brunswick and Mid Penn relating to their respective businesses. The representations must be true and correct in accordance with the materiality standards set forth in the merger agreement, as of the date of the merger agreement and at the effective date of the merger as though made at and as of such time (except that representations and warranties that by their terms speak as of the date of the merger agreement or some other date must be true and correct as of such date).

The merger agreement also contains mutual covenants relating to the preparation of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the regulatory applications, the holding of the special meetings of Mid Penn shareholders and Brunswick shareholders, respectively, access to information of Brunswick and public announcements with respect to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Brunswick and Mid Penn have also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions needed to obtain necessary governmental and third-party consents and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
Brunswick Bank & Trust Company Post-Closing Operation
Immediately, or as soon as reasonably practicable, after the consummation of the merger, in accordance with the bank plan of merger between Brunswick Bank & Trust Company and Mid Penn Bank, Brunswick Bank & Trust Company will merge with and into Mid Penn Bank, with Mid Penn Bank surviving such merger.
Shareholder Meetings
Each of Mid Penn and Brunswick has agreed to hold a meeting of its respective shareholders as promptly as practicable to obtain shareholder adoption of the merger agreement. Each of Mid Penn’s and Brunswick’s boards of directors has unanimously agreed to recommend that its shareholders vote in favor of the merger agreement.
Agreement Not to Solicit Other Offers
Brunswick has agreed that it, its officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents or affiliates will not, directly or indirectly:
initiate, solicit, induce or encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of, any inquiry, offer or proposal that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to an alternative acquisition proposal;
respond to any inquiry relating to an alternative acquisition proposal;
recommend or endorse an alternative acquisition transaction;
participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish or afford access to information or data to any person that may relate to an alternative acquisition proposal;
release anyone from, waive any provisions of, or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which Brunswick is a party; or
enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to any alternative acquisition proposal or approve or resolve to approve any alternative acquisition proposal or any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent relating to an alternative acquisition proposal.
Acquisition proposal means any inquiry, offer or proposal as to any of the following (other than the merger between Mid Penn and Brunswick) involving Brunswick:
any transaction or series of transactions involving any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Brunswick or any Brunswick subsidiary;
77


any transaction pursuant to which any third party or group acquires or would acquire (whether through sale, lease or other disposition), directly or indirectly, any assets of Brunswick representing, in the aggregate, twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the assets of Brunswick or any Brunswick Subsidiary on a consolidated basis;
any issuance, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into, such securities) representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the votes attached to the outstanding securities of Brunswick or any Brunswick subsidiary;
any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any third party or group beneficially owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of equity securities of Brunswick or any Brunswick subsidiary; or
any transaction that is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions, or any combination of the foregoing.
Brunswick may, however, participate in discussions with, and may furnish information to, a third party in connection with a bona fide unsolicited acquisition proposal if, and only if:
Brunswick has received a bona fide unsolicited written acquisition proposal that did not result from a breach of the merger agreement;
Brunswick’s board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and independent financial advisor, that the acquisition proposal is, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a superior proposal (as defined below);
Brunswick has provided Mid Penn with at least two (2) business day’s prior notice of its determination that the acquisition proposal is, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a superior proposal; and
prior to furnishing or providing access to any information or data with respect to Brunswick or otherwise relating to an acquisition proposal, Brunswick receives from the third party making the proposal a confidentiality agreement on terms no less favorable to Mid Penn than the terms of the existing confidentiality agreement between Brunswick and Mid Penn and provides a copy of the same to Mid Penn.
Brunswick has also agreed to promptly provide to Mid Penn any non-public information about Brunswick that it provides to the third party making the proposal, to the extent such information was not previously provided to Mid Penn.
The term “superior proposal,” as defined under the merger agreement, means any bona fide, written acquisition proposal made by a person other than Mid Penn, which the Brunswick board of directors determines in its good faith judgment, after considering the advice of its outside legal counsel and financial advisor:
would, if consummated, result in the acquisition of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Brunswick common stock or all, or substantially all, of the assets of Brunswick on a consolidated basis;
would result in a transaction that involves consideration to the holders of Brunswick common stock that is more favorable, from a financial point of view, than the consideration to be paid to such holders by Mid Penn under the merger agreement, considering, among other things, the nature of the consideration being offered and any material regulatory approvals or other risks associated with the timing of the proposed transaction beyond or in addition to those specifically contemplated hereby, and which proposal is not conditioned upon obtaining additional financing and is, in light of the other terms of such proposal, more favorable to Brunswick than the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement; and
78


is reasonably likely to be completed on the terms proposed, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal.
In addition, Brunswick has agreed that it will not:
withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose to withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Mid Penn, its recommendation to its shareholders to approve the merger agreement or make any statement, filing or release, in connection with the Brunswick special meeting of shareholders or otherwise, inconsistent with its recommendation to its shareholders to approve the merger agreement (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an acquisition proposal other than the merger will be considered an adverse modification of its recommendation to its shareholders), except to the extent otherwise permitted and described below;
approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any acquisition proposal other than with respect to the merger; or
enter into (or cause Brunswick to enter into) any letter of intent or other agreement relating to an acquisition proposal other than with respect to the merger or requiring Brunswick to fail to consummate the merger.
Up until the time of the Brunswick shareholder meeting, however, Brunswick may withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Mid Penn its recommendation to Brunswick shareholders to approve the merger agreement, or take any of the other actions listed above with respect to another acquisition proposal if but only if:
the Brunswick board of directors has reasonably determined in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of its outside legal counsel and financial advisor that the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with the board’s fiduciary duties to Brunswick’s shareholders under applicable law;
it has provided at least five business days’ notice to Mid Penn that a bona fide unsolicited proposal constitutes a superior proposal; and
after taking into account any adjusted, modified or amended terms as may have been committed to by Mid Penn in writing, the Brunswick board of directors has again in good faith determined that the other acquisition proposal constitutes a superior proposal.
Expenses and Fees
In general, each of Mid Penn and Brunswick will be responsible for all expenses incurred by it in connection with the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, except that Mid Penn and Brunswick will split the costs of printing and mailing the joint proxy statement/prospectus for their respective special shareholder meetings.
Indemnification and Insurance
The merger agreement requires Mid Penn to indemnify Brunswick’s and its subsidiaries’ current and former directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent as would have been permitted under Pennsylvania law and the Brunswick certificate of incorporation or the Brunswick bylaws or similar governing documents. The merger agreement provides that in the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation in which any person who is or has been a director, officer or employee of Brunswick is made or is threatened to be made party based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or employee of Brunswick or any of its subsidiaries or predecessors and pertaining to any matter of fact arising, existing or occurring at or before the effective time of the merger (including the merger and the merger agreement), Mid Penn will defend against and respond thereto.
Mid Penn has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless each such indemnified party against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, and amounts paid in settlement in
79


connection with any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit proceeding or investigation. The merger agreement also requires that Mid Penn provide advancement of expenses to all past and present officers, directors and employees of Brunswick and its subsidiaries in their capacities as such against all such losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, judgments or amounts paid in settlement to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and Brunswick’s articles of incorporation and bylaws.
The merger agreement provides that Mid Penn will maintain for a period of six (6) years after completion of the merger Brunswick’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, or policies of at least the same coverage and amount and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous than the current policy, with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective time of the merger.
Conditions to Complete the Merger
Completion of the merger is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, none of which may be waived, including:
the adoption of the merger agreement by the Mid Penn and Brunswick shareholders;
the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part with respect to the Mid Penn common stock to be issued in the merger under the Securities Act and the absence of any stop order or proceedings initiated or threatened by the SEC for that purpose;
the receipt by each of Mid Penn and Brunswick of a legal opinion with respect to certain United States federal income tax consequences of the merger;
the receipt and effectiveness of all required governmental and other approvals, authorizations and consents on terms and conditions that would not have a material adverse effect on Mid Penn or Brunswick, and the expiration of all related waiting periods required to complete the merger;
the absence of any law, statute, regulation, judgment, decree, injunction or other order in effect by any court or other governmental entity that prohibits completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement; and
the approval for listing on Nasdaq of the shares of Mid Penn common stock issuable in the merger.
Each of Mid Penn’s and Brunswick’s obligation to complete the merger is also separately subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions including:
the absence of a material adverse effect on the other party; and
the truthfulness and correctness of the representations and warranties of each other party in the merger agreement, subject generally to the materiality standard provided in the merger agreement, and the performance by each party in all material respects of their obligations under the merger agreement and the receipt by each party of certificates from the other party to that effect.
Brunswick’s obligation to close is also subject to the condition that Mid Penn has delivered the merger consideration to the exchange agent and the exchange agent has provide Brunswick with a certificate evidencing such delivery.
Mid Penn’s obligation to close is also subject to the condition that Brunswick Bank and Trust Company’s general allowance for credit losses be not less than one percent (1%) of total loans and leases outstanding.
We cannot provide assurance as to when or if all of the conditions to the merger can or will be satisfied or waived by the appropriate party. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, we have no reason to believe that any of these conditions will not be satisfied.
80


Termination of the Merger Agreement
The merger agreement can be terminated at any time prior to completion by mutual consent or by either party in the following circumstances:
if there is a breach by the other party that would cause the failure of the closing conditions, unless the breach is capable of being, and is, cured within 30 days of notice of the breach and the terminating party is not itself in material breach;
if the merger has not been completed by September 30, 2023, unless the failure to complete the merger by that date was due to the terminating party’s material breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement under the merger agreement;
if any of the required regulatory approvals are denied (and the denial is final and non-appealable);
if any court of competent jurisdiction or governmental authority issues an order, decree, ruling or takes any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the merger (and such order, decree, ruling or action is final and non-appealable); or
if the shareholders of either Mid Penn or Brunswick fail to adopt the merger agreement at their respective special meetings.
In addition, Mid Penn’s board of directors may terminate the merger agreement if the Brunswick board of directors receives a superior proposal and enters into a letter of intent, agreement in principle or an acquisition agreement with respect to such proposal, withdraws its recommendation of the merger agreement, fails to make such a recommendation or modifies or qualifies its recommendation, in a manner adverse to Mid Penn, or has otherwise made a determination to accept such proposal.
Further, Brunswick’s board of directors may terminate the merger agreement if Brunswick has received a superior proposal and has made a determination to accept such proposal.
Effect of Termination. If the merger agreement is terminated, it will become void, and there will be no liability on the part of Mid Penn or Brunswick, except that both Mid Penn and Brunswick will remain liable for any willful breach of the merger agreement and designated provisions of the merger agreement, including the payment of fees and expenses, the confidential treatment of information and publicity restrictions, will survive the termination.
Termination Fee
Brunswick will pay Mid Penn a termination fee of Two Million Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,050,000) in the event that the merger agreement is terminated:

by Brunswick, if Brunswick receives an alternative acquisition proposal and has made a determination that the alternative acquisition proposal is a superior proposal and accepts such alternative acquisition proposal.
Brunswick will also be required to pay Mid Penn the termination fee of Two Million Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,050,000) in the event that Brunswick enters into a definitive agreement relating to, or consummates, an acquisition proposal within twelve (12) months following termination of the merger agreement:
by Mid Penn because of a willful breach of the merger agreement by Brunswick; or

Amendment, Waiver and Extension of the Merger Agreement
Subject to applicable law, the parties may amend the merger agreement by written agreement between Brunswick and Mid Penn executed in the same manner as the merger agreement.

extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party;
waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party; or
waive compliance by the other party with any of the other agreements or conditions contained in the merger agreement.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
The accounting principles to this transaction as described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 805 (“ASC 805”) provide transactions that represent business combinations are to be accounted for under the acquisition method. The acquisition method requires all of the following steps: a) identifying the acquirer; b) determining the acquisition date, c) recognizing and measuring the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; and d) recognizing and measuring goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.
The appropriate accounting treatment for this transaction is as a business combination under the acquisition method. On the acquisition date, as defined by ASC 805, Mid Penn will record at fair value the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest, and goodwill (or a gain from a bargain purchase). The results of operations for the combined company will be reported prospectively subsequent to the acquisition date.
Financial statements and reported results of operations of Mid Penn issued after completion of the merger will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of Brunswick.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER
The following discussion addresses the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger to a Brunswick shareholder who holds shares of Brunswick common stock as a capital asset. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury regulations promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code, judicial authorities, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this discussion and all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations. It is also based upon factual representations contained in certificates of officers of Mid Penn and Brunswick. Future legislative, judicial, or administrative changes or interpretations which may or may not be retroactive, or the failure of any such facts or representations to be true, accurate and complete, may affect the statements and conclusions described in this discussion.
This discussion is not intended to be a complete description of all of the United States federal income tax consequences of the merger. Further, this discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to Brunswick shareholders in light of their particular circumstances and does not address aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be applicable to Brunswick shareholders subject to special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code (including but not limited to banks, financial institutions, trusts, estates, persons who hold shares of Brunswick common stock in an individual retirement account (IRA), 401(k) plans or similar tax-favored accounts, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers or brokers in securities or foreign currencies, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting, persons holding Brunswick common stock through a pass-through entity, Brunswick shareholders who hold their shares of Brunswick common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion transaction or constructive sale transaction, Brunswick shareholders who acquired their shares of Brunswick common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, persons that hold options or warrants to acquire Brunswick common stock, persons whose functional currency for United States federal income tax purposes is not the United States dollar, persons who are United States expatriates and holders who are not United States persons, within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code (referred to herein as a U.S. holder)). In addition, the discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or foreign taxation. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax aspects set forth below.
No ruling has been or will be requested from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the tax consequences of the merger. Moreover, the opinions described in this discussion are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, and these opinions would not prevent the Internal Revenue Service from challenging the United States federal income tax treatment of the merger. Because of the complexities of the tax laws in general, and the complexities of the tax consequences associated with the receipt of cash in the merger in particular, holders of Brunswick common stock are encouraged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the particular United States federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the merger. This section is not intended to be tax advice to any shareholder.
Tax Opinions
The closing of the merger is conditioned, in part, upon the receipt by Mid Penn of the opinion of Pillar Aught LLC, and the receipt by Brunswick of the opinion of Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf, LLP, each dated as of the effective date of the merger, substantially to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in the opinion (including factual representations contained in certificates of officers of Mid Penn and Brunswick) which are consistent with the state of facts existing as of the effective date of the merger, the merger will be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The tax opinions to be delivered in connection with the merger represent each counsel’s best legal judgment; however, such opinions are not binding on the IRS or the courts, and neither Mid Penn nor Brunswick intends to request a ruling from the IRS with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences of the merger. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. In addition, if any of the facts, representations or assumptions upon which such opinions are based is inconsistent with the actual facts, the United States federal income tax consequences of the merger could be adversely affected.
84


Assuming that the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, the discussion below sets forth the opinions of Pillar Aught LLC and Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf, LLP, insofar as such discussion constitutes statements of United States federal income tax law or legal conclusions, as to the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger to Brunswick shareholders:
a U.S. holder of Brunswick common stock receiving solely cash in exchange for such Brunswick common stock generally will recognize gain and loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares of Brunswick common stock surrendered;
gain (but not loss) will be recognized by U.S. holders of Brunswick common stock who receive both shares of Mid Penn common stock and cash in exchange for shares of Brunswick common stock pursuant to the merger, in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the amount by which the sum of the fair market value of the Mid Penn common stock and cash received by a U.S. holder of Brunswick common stock exceeds such U.S. holder’s basis in its Brunswick common stock and (2) the amount of cash received by such U.S. holder of Brunswick common stock (except with respect to U.S. holders who receive cash only or cash instead of a fractional share of Mid Penn common stock, which is discussed below under “Receipt of Cash Consideration Only and Cash Received Instead of a Fractional Share of Mid Penn Common Stock”);
the aggregate basis of the Mid Penn common stock received by a U.S. holder of Brunswick common stock in the merger (including the basis of fractional shares of Mid Penn common stock deemed received, prior to their deemed redemption as described below) will be the same as the aggregate basis of Brunswick common stock for which it is exchanged, decreased by the amount of cash (if any) received in the merger (other than cash received in lieu of fractional share interests in Mid Penn common stock), and increased by the amount of gain recognized on the exchange (other than gain recognized with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional share interests in Mid Penn common stock, as discussed below under “Receipt of Cash Consideration Only and Cash Received Instead of a Fractional Share of Mid Penn Common Stock”); and
the holding period of Mid Penn common stock received in exchange for shares of Brunswick common stock (including fractional shares of Mid Penn common stock deemed received and redeemed as described below) will include the holding period of Brunswick common stock for which it is exchanged.
If a U.S. holder of Brunswick common stock acquired different blocks of Brunswick common stock at different times or at different prices, any gain or loss will be determined separately with respect to each block of Brunswick common stock, and the cash and shares of Mid Penn common stock received will be allocated pro rata to each such block of stock. In computing the amount of gain realized, if any, a U.S. holder of Brunswick common stock may not offset a loss realized on one block of shares against the gain realized on another block of shares. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors with regard to identifying the bases and holding periods of the particular shares of Mid Penn common stock received in the merger.
At the time that a U.S. holder makes a cash or stock election pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, such U.S. holder will not know whether, and to what extent, the proration provisions of the merger agreement might alter the mix of consideration such U.S. holder will receive. As a result, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. holder will not be ascertainable with certainty until such U.S. holder knows the precise amount of cash and/or Mid Penn common shares that such U.S. holder will receive in the merger.
Taxation of Capital Gain
Except as described under “Additional Considerations—Recharacterization of Gain as a Dividend” below, gain that U.S. holders of Brunswick common stock recognize in connection with the merger generally will constitute capital gain and will constitute long-term capital gain if such U.S. holders have held (or are treated as having held) their Brunswick common stock for more than one year as of the date of the merger. For U.S. holders of Brunswick common stock that are non-corporate holders, long-term capital gain is generally taxed at preferential rates. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax rate on long-term capital gain applicable to you.
85


Additional Considerations—Recharacterization of Gain as a Dividend
In limited circumstances, all or part of the gain that a particular U.S. holder of Brunswick common stock recognizes could be treated as dividend income rather than capital gain. Because the possibility of dividend treatment depends primarily upon the particular circumstances of a holder of Brunswick common stock, including the application of certain constructive ownership rules, U.S. holders of Brunswick common stock should consult their own tax advisor regarding the potential tax consequences of the merger to them.
Receipt of Cash Consideration Only and Cash Received Instead of a Fractional Share of Mid Penn Common Stock
A U.S. holder of Brunswick common stock who receives the entirety of its consideration in the form of cash will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and its tax basis in its Brunswick common stock. In addition, a U.S. holder of Brunswick common stock who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of Mid Penn common stock will be treated as having received the fractional share pursuant to the merger and then as having exchanged the fractional share for cash in a redemption by Mid Penn. As a result, such U.S. holder of Brunswick common stock will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and its tax basis in its fractional share interest as set forth above. The gain or loss recognized by the U.S. holders described in this paragraph will generally be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if, as of the effective date of the merger, the U.S. holder’s holding period for the relevant shares is greater than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Backup Withholding
Backup withholding will generally apply to merger consideration that includes cash if the exchanging Brunswick shareholder fails to properly certify that it is not subject to backup withholding, generally on Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. Certain holders, including, among others, United States corporations, are not subject to backup withholding, but they may still need to furnish a Form W-9 or otherwise establish an exemption. Any amounts withheld from payments to a Brunswick shareholder under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and will be allowed as a refund or credit against the shareholder’s United States federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
Tax matters are very complicated, and the tax consequences of the merger to each holder of Brunswick common stock will depend on the facts of that shareholder’s particular situation. The discussion set forth above does not address all United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular holder of Brunswick common stock and may not be applicable to holders in special situations. Holders of Brunswick common stock are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences of the merger. Further, such discussion does not address tax consequences that may arise with respect to Mid Penn by reason of any actions taken or events occurring subsequent to the merger.

MID PENN SPECIAL MEETING—PROPOSAL NO. 1
MID PENN MERGER PROPOSAL
Mid Penn is asking its shareholders to approve and adopt the merger agreement. For a detailed discussion of the merger, including the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, see “The Merger,” beginning on page 34.
As discussed in detail in the sections entitled “The Merger—Mid Penn’s Reasons for the Merger,” and “The Merger—Recommendation of Mid Penn’s Board of Directors,” beginning on pages 49 and 50, respectively, after careful consideration, the Mid Penn board of directors determined that the terms of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by it are in the best interests of Mid Penn and the board unanimously approved the merger agreement.
Accordingly, the Mid Penn board of directors unanimously recommends that Mid Penn shareholders vote “FOR” the Mid Penn merger proposal.
MID PENN SPECIAL MEETING—PROPOSAL NO. 2
MID PENN AMENDMENT PROPOSAL 1
Article 5 of Mid Penn’s Articles of Incorporation currently authorizes the issuance of a total of 30,000,000 shares divided into two classes consisting of 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 of preferred stock. As of December 20, 2022, the Corporation had 16,091,446 shares of common stock issued and is approaching its maximum authorized share amount.
In order to provide the Corporation with sufficient authorized shares to fund future growth and maximum flexibility to achieve its strategic objectives, the Board, at a meeting held on January 25, 2023, approved resolutions to amend Article 5 of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, subject to shareholder approval. The proposed amendment would increase the number of shares of capital stock authorized from 30,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares, increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 shares to 40,000,000 shares and leaving the number of authorized shares of preferred stock unaffected at 10,000,000. To effectuate the increase in authorized shares, the Board is proposing the first paragraph of Article 5 of the Articles of Incorporation be amended from:
The aggregate number of shares of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 30,000,000 shares divided into two classes consisting of 20,000,000 shares of common stock with the par value of $1.00 each (“Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with the par value of $1.00 each (“Preferred Stock”).
89


to:
The aggregate number of shares of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 50,000,000 shares divided into two classes consisting of 40,000,000 shares of common stock with the par value of $1.00 each (“Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with the par value of $1.00 each (“Preferred Stock”).
The Mid Penn board of directors unanimously recommends that Mid Penn shareholders vote “FOR” Mid Penn amendment proposal 1.
MID PENN SPECIAL MEETING—PROPOSAL NO. 3
MID PENN AMENDMENT PROPOSAL 2
Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved and considers it to be advisable and in the best interests of the Corporation and our shareholders to amend our Articles of Incorporation to limit the circumstances under which a supermajority vote of the shareholders is required to those fundamental transactions which are not approved in advance by a supermajority of the Corporation’s Directors.
In its current form, Article 7 of the Articles of Incorporation currently requires that any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, receive either (A) the affirmative vote of at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation or (B) the affirmative vote 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 the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors has determined that the current minimum vote requirement is unduly burdensome, particularly with respect to transactions in which the Corporation is either the surviving entity or which were approved in advance by the Board of Directors. As proposed, the amended Article 7 will continue to require the vote of 66 2/3% of outstanding shares for certain mergers and certain other financial transactions that are not endorsed by a supermajority (80%) of the Corporation’s Directors, while requiring that mergers and certain other transactions that are endorsed by a supermajority (80%) of Mid Penn’s directors receive only such vote of the shareholders as may be required by Pennsylvania law or Nasdaq rules. Mid Penn believes that this recommendation will grant the Corporation greater flexibility to pursue strategic opportunities in a more cost-effective manner. To the extent Pennsylvania law requires shareholder approval of a transaction previously approved by a supermajority of the Directors, such transaction will require the approval of only a majority of votes cast at the meeting.
The Board of Directors proposes and recommends that Article 7 of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation be amended and restated to read in its entirety 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 the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation; provided, however, that with respect to any transaction described in this Article 7 that is approved in advance by at least eighty percent (80%) of the members of the Board of Directors, such transaction shall require only such shareholder approval, if any, as may be required pursuant to the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law or the rules of any national securities exchange on which shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock are traded, each as in effect from time to time.
If approved by the shareholders, the amendment would be effective upon the filing of an amendment to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, anticipated to occur promptly after the special meeting.
The Mid Penn board of directors unanimously recommends that Mid Penn shareholders vote “FOR” Mid Penn amendment proposal 2.

MID PENN SPECIAL MEETING—PROPOSAL NO. 4
MID PENN ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
If, at the Mid Penn special meeting, the number of shares of Mid Penn common stock present virtually or by proxy is insufficient to constitute a quorum or the number of shares of Mid Penn common stock voting in favor is insufficient to adopt the Mid Penn merger proposal, Mid Penn amendment proposal 1 or Mid Penn amendment proposal 2, Mid Penn management intends to adjourn the special meeting in order to provide the Mid Penn board of directors more time to solicit additional proxies. In that event, Mid Penn will ask its shareholders to vote only upon the adjournment proposal and not the other proposals.
In this proposal, Mid Penn is asking you to grant discretionary authority to the holder of any proxy solicited by the Mid Penn board of directors so that such holder can vote in favor of the proposal to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies. If the shareholders of Mid Penn approve the adjournment proposal, Mid Penn could adjourn the special meeting, and any adjourned session of the special meeting, and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from shareholders who have previously voted.
Generally, if the special meeting is adjourned, no notice of the adjourned meeting is required to be given to shareholders, other than an announcement at the special meeting of the place, date and time to which the meeting is adjourned.
The Mid Penn board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the Mid Penn adjournment proposal.

Properly executed proxies that do not contain voting instructions will be voted “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement and “FOR” the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies.
If you hold shares of Brunswick common stock in street name through a bank, broker or other nominee holder, the nominee holder may only vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you do not give specific instructions to your nominee holder as to how you want your shares voted, your nominee will indicate that it does not have authority to vote on the proposal, which will result in what is called a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will not be counted for determining whether there is a quorum present at the special meeting and will not be deemed to have been voted on any of the proposals.
How to Vote Your Shares
Brunswick shareholders of record may vote by one of the following methods:
Voting by Mail. You may vote by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card. Your proxy will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you do not specify a choice on one of the proposals described in this joint proxy statement, your proxy will be voted in favor of that proposal.

Voting by Internet. If you are a registered shareholder, you may vote electronically through the Internet by following the instructions included with your proxy card. If your shares are registered in the name of a broker or other nominee, you may be able to vote via the Internet. If so, the voting form your nominee sends you will provide Internet instructions.
Voting by Phone. Use any touch-tone telephone to transmit your voting instructions up until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time the day before the cut-off date or meeting date. Have your proxy card and twelve-digit voting code in hand when you call 813.235.4490 and then follow the instructions.
Voting Virtually at the Special Meeting. You may virtually attend the Brunswick special meeting and vote. Information regarding how to virtually attend the special meeting is included in the proxy card. If your shares are registered in the name of a broker or other nominee and you wish to vote at the meeting, you will need to obtain a legal proxy from your bank or brokerage firm. Please consult the voting form sent to you by your bank or broker to determine how to obtain a legal proxy in order to vote at the special meeting. Should you have any questions on the procedure for voting your shares, please contact Brunswick’s Corporate Secretary at 732.247.5800.
Brunswick shareholders whose shares are held in “street name” by their broker, bank or other nominee must follow the instructions provided by their broker, bank or other nominee to vote their shares. Your broker, bank or other nominee may allow you to deliver your voting instructions via telephone or the Internet.
How to Change Your Vote
If you are a registered shareholder, you may revoke any proxy at any time before it is voted by (1) signing and returning a proxy card with a later date (if you submitted your proxy by Internet or by telephone, you can vote again by Internet or telephone), (2) delivering a written revocation letter to the Corporate Secretary of Brunswick, or (3) virtually attending the special meeting, notifying the Corporate Secretary and voting at the special meeting. The Brunswick Corporate Secretary’s mailing address is 439 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, New Jersey 08901.

Solicitation of Proxies
Brunswick will bear the cost of soliciting proxies for the Brunswick special meeting.
In addition to solicitation of proxies by mail, Brunswick will request that banks, brokers and other record holders send proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of Brunswick common stock and secure their voting instructions. Brunswick will reimburse the record holders for their reasonable expenses in taking those actions. If necessary, Brunswick may use several of its regular employees, who will not be specially compensated, to solicit proxies from Brunswick shareholders, either personally or by telephone, facsimile, letter or other electronic means.
Mid Penn and Brunswick will share equally the expenses incurred in connection with the copying, printing and distribution of this joint proxy statement/prospectus for their special meetings.

BRUNSWICK SPECIAL MEETING—PROPOSAL NO. 1
BRUNSWICK MERGER PROPOSAL
Brunswick is asking its shareholders to approve the Brunswick merger proposal. For a detailed discussion of the merger, including the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, see “The Merger,” beginning on page 34.
As discussed in detail in the sections entitled “The Merger—Brunswick’s Reasons for the Merger,” and “—Recommendation of Brunswick’s Board of Directors,” beginning on pages 37 and 39, respectively, after careful consideration, the Brunswick board of directors determined that the terms of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by it are in the best interests of Brunswick’s shareholders and the board unanimously approved the merger agreement.
Accordingly, the Brunswick board of directors unanimously recommends that Brunswick shareholders vote “FOR” the Brunswick merger proposal.
BRUNSWICK SPECIAL MEETING—PROPOSAL NO. 2
BRUNSWICK ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
If, at the Brunswick special meeting, the number of shares of Brunswick common stock, present virtually or by proxy, is insufficient to constitute a quorum or the number of shares of Brunswick common stock voting in favor is insufficient to adopt the merger agreement, Brunswick management intends to adjourn the special meeting in order to enable the Brunswick board of directors more time to solicit additional proxies. In that event, Brunswick will ask its shareholders to vote only upon the adjournment proposal and not the proposal relating to adoption of the merger agreement.
In this proposal, Brunswick is asking you to grant discretionary authority to the holder of any proxy solicited by the Brunswick board of directors so that such holder can vote in favor of the proposal to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies. If the shareholders of Brunswick approve the adjournment proposal, Brunswick could adjourn the special meeting, and any adjourned session of the special meeting, and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from shareholders who have previously voted.
Generally, if the special meeting is adjourned, no notice of the adjourned meeting is required to be given to shareholders, other than an announcement at the special meeting of the place, date and time to which the meeting is adjourned.
The Brunswick board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the Brunswick adjournment proposal.

Legal Proceedings
Brunswick is periodically a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business such as claims to enforce liens, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans, and other issues incident to its business. Management does not believe that there is any pending or threatened proceeding against Brunswick which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on Brunswick’s financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.
Competition
Brunswick encounters strong competition both in making loans and in attracting deposits. The deregulation of the banking industry and the widespread enactment of state laws which permit multi-bank holding companies as well as an increasing level of interstate banking have created a highly competitive environment for commercial banking. In one or more aspects of its business, Brunswick competes with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and investment
96


banking companies, and other financial intermediaries. Most of these competitors, some of which are affiliated with bank holding companies, have substantially greater resources and lending limits, and may offer certain services that Brunswick does not currently provide. In addition, many of Brunswick’s non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive federal regulations that govern bank holding companies and federally insured banks. Recent federal and state legislation has heightened the competitive environment in which financial institutions must conduct their business, and the potential for competition among financial institutions of all types has increased significantly. There is no assurance that increased competition from other financial institutions will not have an adverse effect on Brunswick’s operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Board of Directors
Brunswick Bancorp, Inc.
New Brunswick, New Jersey
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Brunswick Bancorp, Inc., which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brunswick Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Brunswick Bancorp, Inc. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Brunswick Bancorp, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.
F-2


Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Brunswick Bancorp, Inc.’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Brunswick Bancorp, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations: Brunswick Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Brunswick Bank & Trust Company (the “Bank”), and is regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank also has a wholly-owned investment subsidiary, BTB Investment Corp. Inc., who manages the Bank’s investment portfolio. In addition, the Bank also has two other subsidiaries, Brunscor Realty, Inc. and Brunswick Title Agency. The Bank generates commercial, mortgage and consumer loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in central New Jersey with primary emphasis on Middlesex and Monmouth Counties; services are provided at six locations. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and non-bank providers of financial services. The Bank is subject to regulation by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brunswick Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Brunswick Bank & Trust Company, BTB Investments Brunscor Realty, Inc. and Brunswick Title Agency, after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances.
Subsequent Events: The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through March 24, 2022, which was the date this report was available to be issued.
Use of Estimates: To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.
Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Company’s business is generated principally in central New Jersey. In Note 2, the types of securities that Company invests in are discussed. In Note 3, the types of lending that the Bank engages in is discussed. Although the Bank intends to have a diversified loan portfolio, its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts will be influenced by the region’s economy. The market and economic conditions increase demand for construction loans located in the State of New Jersey. As a result, credit risk is broadly dependent on the real estate market and general economic conditions in the state.
Securities: Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are those securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in maturity mix of the Company’s assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations and other similar factors. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as increases or decreases in other comprehensive (loss) income. Realized gains or losses, are determined using the specific identification method. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage backed securities where prepayments are anticipated.
Management evaluates debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For debt securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis.
Restricted Investment in Bank Stocks: Restricted stock, which represents a required investment in the common stock of two correspondent banks, is carried at cost and as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, consists of the common

stock of the Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”) and Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. Dividends declared are reported as income in the period declared.
Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Company has purchased life insurance policies key executives. Company owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses: The Bank’s loan portfolio includes commercial, residential and consumer segments. Commercial loans typically consist of mortgage loans on owner-occupied and tenanted investment properties, and construction and land development loans. Residential loans are primarily comprised of loans secured by 1-4 family and multi-family residential properties. Consumer loans are primarily comprised of home equity loans, personal loans, traditional installment loans and other loans.
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of an allowance for loan losses and deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans using the effective yield method.
Interest income on loans is discontinued and placed on non-accrual status at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Past-due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days still on accrual include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans.
All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Under the cash-basis method, interest income is recorded when the payment is received in cash. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable are charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. Non-residential consumer loans are generally charged off no later than 120 days past due on a contractual basis, earlier in the event of bankruptcy, or if there is an amount deemed uncollectible. Because all identified losses are immediately charged off, no portion of the allowance for loan losses is restricted to any individual loan or groups of loans, and the entire allowance is available to absorb any and all loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance is based on the Bank’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers pools of loans by loan class including commercial loans not considered impaired, as well as smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential, consumer and other loans. These pools of loans are evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates for each of these categories of loans, adjusted for qualitative factors. These qualitative risk factors include:

7.Existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations.
8.Effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements.
Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management’s best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation of changes in conditions in a narrative accompanying the allowance for loan loss calculation.
The unallocated reserve represents imprecision in the calculation and is considered a part of the non-impaired reserve. Changes in the unallocated are reviewed by management as a part of the review of the overall calculation.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and industrial loans, and commercial real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual residential loans, consumer loans, or other loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a troubled debt restructuring agreement.
Loans whose terms are modified are classified as troubled debt restructurings if the Bank grants such borrowers concessions and it is deemed that those borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring generally involve a temporary reduction in interest rate or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date. Nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings are restored to an accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for six consecutive months after modification. Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are designated as impaired.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The allowance calculation methodology includes further segregation of loan classes into risk rating categories. The borrower’s overall financial condition, repayment sources, guarantors and value of collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated annually for commercial loans or when credit deficiencies arise, such as delinquent loan payments, for residential and consumer loans.
On a regular basis the Bank reviews the ratings on all criticized and classified loans. The Bank engages an independent third-party loan review consultant to review the Bank’s loan portfolio. As part of their scope they review a significant portion of criticized and classified loans.
The following portfolio segments have been identified: commercial loans, residential loans, and consumer and other loans:
Commercial:  Commercial real estate loans and other commercial loans are made based primarily on the identified cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower.  Commercial real estate collateral is generally located within the Bank’s geographic territories; while collateral for non-real estate secured commercial loans is typically accounts receivable, inventory, and/or equipment.  Repayment is primarily dependent upon the borrower’s ability to service the debt based upon cash flows generated from the underlying business.  Additional support involves liquidation of the pledged collateral and enforcement of a personal guarantee, if a guarantee is obtained.
Residential real estate:  Residential real estate loans, including first mortgages, home equity loans and home equity lines of credit, are collateralized by first or second liens on one-to-four family residences generally located within the Bank’s market areas.  Proof of ownership title, clear mortgage title, and hazard insurance coverage are normally required. Residential loans also include multifamily loans which are collateralized by first liens on the real estate and repayment is primarily dependent upon the borrower’s ability to service the debt based on upon cash flows generated by the underlying properties.
Consumer and Other:  Consumer and other loans are generally considered to have greater risk than first or second mortgages on real estate because they me be unsecured, or if they are secured, the value of the collateral may be difficult to assess and more likely to decrease in value than real estate.
Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from one to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the length of the lease or estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter.
Foreclosed Real Estate: Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. Physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan occurs when legal title is obtained upon completion of foreclosure or when the borrower conveys all interest in the property to satisfy the loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair value of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate footnote. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.
Transfers of Financial Assets: Transfers of financial assets, including loan participation sales, are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3)

the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Advertising and Marketing Costs: Advertising costs are charged to operations in the year incurred.
Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting guidance set forth in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes.
Income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Deferred income tax expense or benefit results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions if it is more-likely-than-not, based on the merits that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes, if any, as a component of the provision for income taxes. There were no interest and penalties recognized in 2021 and 2020.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments: In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets when they are funded.
Stock-Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards.
Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
Earnings per Share: Basic earnings per share is net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding net of treasury stock during the period. All outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for this calculation. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential shares issuable under stock options. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and stock dividends through the date of issuance of the financial statements.
Comprehensive Income: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, are reported as a separate component of the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Statements of Cash Flows: The Company considers all cash amounts due from depository institutions, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statements of cash flows. Generally, federal funds are sold for one day periods. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions.
Leases: The Company enters into leases in the normal course of business primarily for financial centers, back-office operations locations and business development offices. The Company’s leases have remaining terms ranging from 1 to 4 years, some of which include renewal options to extend for up to 15 years.
The Company includes lease extension in the lease term if, after considering relevant economic factors, it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. The Company has also elected not to recognize leases with original lease terms of 12 months or less (short term leases) on the Company’s balance sheet.
Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the lease commencement date. Lease expense for operating leases and short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represent our obligation to make lease payments arising for the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.
The Company uses the discount rate which represents the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to calculate the present value of lease payments when the rate implicit in a lease is not known.

As of December 31, 2021, the Bank’s security portfolio consisted of 60 securities, of which 47 securities were in an unrealized loss position. Unrealized losses on agencies, collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities held by the Bank have not been recognized into income because holdings are all issued by U.S. Government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily the FHLB, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. All securities were of investment grade and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and not credit quality of the issuer. Unrealized losses on corporate debt securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers of the debt securities are of high credit quality. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity. Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, management did not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that management would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery and therefore, no loss has been recognized as of December 31, 2021. No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The addition of the loans as troubled debt restructurings did not have a material impact to the allowance for loan losses during the year ended December 31, 2021. The modification of the terms of such loans performed during the year ended December 31, 2021 included extensions of the original term.
There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings for the year ended December 31, 2020.
A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.
Consistent with regulatory guidance and the provisions of the CARES Act, borrowers that were otherwise current on loan payments as of December 31, 2019 that were granted COVID-19 related financial hardship payment deferrals will continue to be reported as current loans during the deferral period and not evaluated as to whether they are troubled debt restructurings. As of December 31, 2021, the Company does not have any loans in modification under CARES Act.
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes all non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed an at least an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or

weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, that make the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

NOTE 7 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Retirement Plans and Other Employee Benefits: The Company established a new 401K plan effective January 1, 2020. The plan is a safe harbor where all funds contributed will be fully vested from day 1. The Company will match employee contributions 100% for the first 3% and 50% for the next 2% contributed for a maximum match of 4% annually. There were employer contributions of $107 and $95 in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Restricted Stock Award Plan: The Company maintains a Restricted Stock Award Plan for the purpose of granting shares, subject to restrictions, to key employees of the Company as a means of retaining and rewarding them for long-term performance and to increase their ownership in the Company. Shares awarded under the plan entitle the shareholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that the shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged or otherwise disposed of during the restriction period. The total number of shares available under the Plan is 396,000 with 240,000 remaining to be issued. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of awards based on the fair value of the stock at issue date.

Stock based compensation expense for 2021 and 2020 totaled $72 and $72. As of December 31, 2021, there was approximately $142 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares granted under the Restricted Stock Award Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 years.
Stock Option Plan: The Company’s 2019 Employee Stock Option Plan, permits the grant of share options to its employees for up to 425,000 shares of common stock. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant: those option awards have vesting periods ranging from 1 to 5 years and have 10 year contractual terms. Stock based compensation expense for 2021 and 2020 totaled $62 and $26.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the following assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of the options granted is based on the historical data and represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The fair value of the option was $3.56 and $1.13 per share for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The income tax provision for financial reporting purposes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory income tax rate of 21% to income before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The difference relates primarily to the impact of non-taxable income.
Due to the lack of forecasted capital gains, the Company has established a valuation allowance for OTTI that reduces the amount of its net deferred tax asset to an amount expected to be realized at December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands).

Rent: Two operating locations of the Company are leased from related parties. Rent paid to those parties totaled approximately $146 and $226 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and upon expiration of the lease, the Bank purchased one of these locations from a related party for $740. Rent paid for this location was $40 during 2021. Future lease payments for the remaining lease are included in the Lease footnote (Note 15).
Deposits: The Company is indebted to certain related parties for bank deposits made in the ordinary course of business of $8,546 and $6,985 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Legal Counsel: The Company retains legal counsel for certain matters with a related party. Amounts paid and expensed to such related party was $12 and $6 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
In the normal course of business, the Company has outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not included, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the consolidated balance sheet. Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk are as follows (in thousands):
20212020
Commitments to extend credit$25,193 $24,489 
Standby letters of credit1,210 1,097 
Consumer lines of credit6,349 5,699 
$32,752 $31,285 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as no violation of any condition established in the contract exists. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on Managements’ credit evaluation. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company’s policy for obtaining collateral, and the nature of such collateral, is essentially the same as that involved in making commitments to extend credit.

The Company is party to litigation and claims arising during the normal course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will not be material to the consolidated financial statements
NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASURMENTS AND DISCLOSURES
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values.
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2), using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded, values debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).
Impaired Loans: The Company generally measures impaired loans based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. There were no impaired loans recorded at fair value at December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Foreclosed Real Estate: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are updated periodically. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach with data from comparable properties. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.

(a)Not within the scope of ASC 606
Service Charges and Fees on Deposit Accounts: The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based and account maintenance services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as return item fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance.
Other Service Charges and Fees: The Company collects fees for additional services from its customers. These services include the rental of safe deposit boxes, check cashing fees, wire transfer fees and official checks and money order fees.
Other Income: All other income items are captured here including ATM fees, rental income and other miscellaneous items.
Gains/Losses on Sales of Premises and Equipment: The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of premises and equipment when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of premises and equipment to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once the criteria are met, the premises and equipment asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on the sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on the sale if a significant financing component is present.
NOTE 13 – REGULATORY CAPITAL
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting principles. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is included in computing regulatory capital. Management believed as of December 31, 2021, the company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

NOTE 13 – REGULATORY CAPITAL (Continued)
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At year-end 2021 and 2020, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Brunswick Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Brunswick Bank & Trust Company (the “Bank”), and is regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank also has a wholly-owned investment subsidiary, BTB Investment Corp. Inc., who manages the Bank’s investment portfolio. In addition, the Bank also has two other subsidiaries, Brunscor Realty, Inc. and Brunswick Title Agency. The Bank generates commercial, mortgage and consumer loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in central New Jersey with primary emphasis on Middlesex and Monmouth Counties; services are provided at six locations. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and non-bank providers of financial services. The Bank is subject to regulation by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brunswick Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Brunswick Bank & Trust Company, BTB Investments Brunscor Realty, Inc. and Brunswick Title Agency, after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances. The accompanying unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial information. In the opinion of management, the interim statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company on a consolidated basis and all such adjustments are recurring in nature. These financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any other period.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through the date this report was available to be issued.
Use of Estimates
To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2016-13: The FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as further amended. The ASU requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured using an expected credit loss model (referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model). Under this model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications unless reasonable expectation of a troubled debt restructuring exists) from the date of initial recognition of that instrument. The ASU also replaces the current accounting model for purchased credit impaired loans and debt securities. The allowance for purchased financial assets with a more-than insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination ("PCD assets") should be determined in a similar manner to other financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis. However, upon initial recognition, the allowance is added to the purchase price ("gross up approach") to determine the initial amortized cost basis. The subsequent accounting for PCD assets is the same expected loss model described above. Further, the ASU made
F-41

Brunswick Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in thousands except share and per share data)
certain targeted amendments to the existing impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. For an AFS debt security for which there is neither the intent nor a more-likely-than-not requirement to sell, an entity will record credit losses as an allowance rather than a write-down of the amortized cost basis. Certain incremental disclosures are required. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11, and ASU 2020-02 to clarify, improve, or defer the adoption of ASU 2016-13.
In October 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 which deferred the implementation date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies (SRCs) until January 1, 2023. Brunswick Bancorp qualified as an SRC, therefore, the Company has chosen to delay the adoption of ASU 2016-13 until January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2022-02: The FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the TDR recognition and measurement guidance and, instead, requires that an entity evaluate (consistent with the accounting for other loan modifications) whether a modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. In addition, this ASU enhances existing disclosure requirements and introduces new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. For public business entities, this ASU requires that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Gross write-off information must be included in the vintage disclosures required for public business entities in accordance with paragraph 326-20-50-6, which requires that an entity disclose the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable by year of origination.
For entities that have adopted the amendments in update 2016-13, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities that have not yet adopted the amendments in update 2016-13, the effective dates for the amendments in this update are the same as the effective dates in Update 2016-13. The Company has not yet adopted this accounting standard as ASU 2016-13 has not been adopted. Management continues to evaluate the impact of its future adoption of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements.

At September 30, 2022, the Bank’s security portfolio consisted of 71 securities, all of which were in an unrealized loss position. Unrealized losses on agencies, collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities held by the Bank have not been recognized into income because holdings are all issued by U.S. Government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily the FHLB, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. All securities were of investment grade and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest

(Dollar amounts in thousands except share and per share data)
rates and not credit quality of the issuer. Unrealized losses on corporate debt securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers of the debt securities are of high credit quality. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity. Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, management did not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that management would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery and therefore, no loss has been recognized as of September 30, 2022. No impairment charges were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes all non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed an at least an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, that make the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

them for long-term performance and to increase their ownership in the Company. Shares awarded under the plan entitle the shareholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that the shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged or otherwise disposed of during the restriction period. The total number of shares available under the Plan is 396,000 with 240,000 remaining to be issued. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of awards based on the fair value of the stock at issue date.
A summary of changes in the Company’s nonvested shares for the year follows:

Rent: Currently one operating location of the Company is leased from a related party. At December 30, 2020, the Company rented two locations from related parties; however, during 2021 upon expiration of the lease, the Bank purchased one of these locations from a related party for $740 thousand. Rent paid to those parties for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, totaled approximately $95 thousand and $132 thousand. Future lease payments for the remaining lease are included in the Lease footnote (Note 10).

Legal Counsel: The Company retains legal counsel for certain matters with a related party. Amounts paid and expensed to such related party were $12 thousand and $10 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Note 8 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
In the normal course of business, the Company has outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not included, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the consolidated balance sheet. Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk are as follows:
September 30,
2022
December 31
2021,
(Dollars in thousands)
Commitments to extend credit35,285 25,193 
Standby letters of credit1,277 1,210 
Consumer lines of credit11,195 6,349 
$47,757 $32,752 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as no violation of any condition established in the contract exists. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on Managements’ credit evaluation. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses

and may require payment of a fee. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company’s policy for obtaining collateral, and the nature of such collateral, is essentially the same as that involved in making commitments to extend credit.
The Company has not been required to perform on any financial guarantees during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021. The Company has not incurred any losses on its commitments during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021. The Company is party to litigation and claims arising during the normal course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will not be material to the consolidated financial statements
Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values.
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2), using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded, values debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).
Impaired Loans: The Company generally measures impaired loans based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. There were no impaired loans recorded at fair value at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
Foreclosed Real Estate: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are updated periodically. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach with data from comparable properties. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.

Following the Closing, neither Mid Penn nor any of their Affiliates shall knowingly take any action, cause any action to be taken, fail to take any action or cause any action to fail to be taken, which action or failure to act could cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. Mid Penn and Brunswick each hereby agrees to deliver certificates substantially in compliance with IRS published advance ruling guidelines (and including such additional covenants, statements and representations deemed necessary or appropriate by counsel for Mid Penn and Brunswick, respectively), with customary exceptions and modifications thereto, at such time or times as may reasonably be requested by counsel, including at the time Mid Penn files such opinions with the
A-12


SEC as part of the Registration Statement, at any time that Mid Penn exercises its right to change the method of effecting the business combination contemplated by this Agreement (as more fully described below) and at the Closing Date, to enable counsel to execute such legal opinions to be filed with the Registration Statement as required by the SEC or deliver the legal opinions contemplated by Section 9.1(e), which certificates shall be effective as of the date of such opinions. Mid Penn may at any time change the method of effecting the business combination contemplated by this Agreement if and to the extent that it deems such a change to be desirable, provided, however, that such change shall be subject to the written consent of Brunswick which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and no such change shall: (i) alter or change the amount or kind of consideration to be issued to holders of Brunswick Common Stock as Merger Consideration or to the holders of Brunswick Options; (ii) materially impede or delay consummation of the Merger (or such alternate form of business combination), jeopardize or delay receipt of any Regulatory Approvals or other consents and approvals relating to the consummation of the Merger or cause any condition to Closing set forth in Article IX not to be capable of being fulfilled; (iii) result in any adverse federal or state income tax or other adverse tax consequences to Brunswick shareholders as a result of such modification or structure; or (iv) require submission to or approval of Brunswick’s shareholders after this Agreement has been approved by Brunswick’s shareholders.

Immediately, or as soon as reasonably practicable, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Mid Penn will cause Mid Penn Bank, and Brunswick will cause Brunswick Bank, to execute and deliver the Bank Plan of Merger.

ARTICLE III
CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES
3.1.Merger Consideration; Effect on Shares.
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Mid Penn, Brunswick or the holders of any of the shares of Brunswick Common Stock, the Merger shall be effected in accordance with the following terms:
A-13


(a)    Each share of Mid Penn Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger.
(b)    All shares of Brunswick Common Stock held in the treasury of Brunswick (“Treasury Stock”) and each share of Brunswick Common Stock owned by Mid Penn immediately prior to the Effective Time (if any) (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in connection with debts previously contracted) shall, at the Effective Time, cease to exist, and the certificates for such shares shall be canceled as promptly as practicable thereafter, and no payment or distribution shall be made in consideration therefor.
(c)    All remaining shares of Brunswick Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become and be converted into, as provided in and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the right to receive, without interest, at the election of the holder thereof and in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.4 and subject to Section 3.2 and 3.1(h), the following:
(i)    for each share of Brunswick Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, pursuant to Section 3.4 (a “Cash Election”), the right to receive in cash from Mid Penn, without interest, an amount equal to Eighteen Dollars ($18.00) (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.1(j), the “Cash Consideration”) (collectively, “Cash Election Shares”);
(ii)    for each share of Brunswick Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive Mid Penn Common Stock has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, pursuant to Section 3.4 (a “Stock Election”), the right to receive from Mid Penn the number of shares of Mid Penn Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Stock Consideration”) (collectively, the “Stock Election Shares”); and
(iii)    for each share of Brunswick Common Stock other than shares as to which a Cash Election or a Stock Election has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, pursuant to Section 3.4 (collectively, “Non-Election Shares”), the right to receive such Stock Consideration or Cash Consideration as determined in accordance with Section 3.2.
For purposes of this Agreement: (x) “Exchange Ratio” means 0.598 shares of Mid Penn Common Stock (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.1(j)); and (y) the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Merger Consideration”.
(d)    After the Effective Time, shares of Brunswick Common Stock shall be no longer outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and shall represent thereafter by operation of this section only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as set forth in this Article III and, if applicable, any dividends or distributions with respect thereto or any dividends or distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that were declared or made by Brunswick on such shares of Brunswick Common Stock in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the Effective Time.
A-14


(e)    Fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid to holders of Brunswick Common Stock will be paid with Mid Penn Common Stock. In the event that the foregoing clauses of this Section 3.1 result in less or more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Merger Consideration being paid with Mid Penn Common Stock, pro rata adjustments will be made in accordance with Section 3.2 to result in payment of fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Merger Consideration in Mid Penn Common Stock and the balance of the aggregate Merger Consideration in cash.
(f)    Notwithstanding Section 3.1(e), if either of the tax opinions referred to in Section 9.1(e) cannot be rendered (as reasonably determined, in each case, by the counsel charged with giving such opinion) as a result of the Merger potentially failing to satisfy the “continuity of interest” requirements under applicable federal income tax principles relating to reorganizations under Section 368(a) of the Code, then Mid Penn shall reduce the Cash Consideration and increase the Stock Consideration to the minimum extent necessary to enable the relevant tax opinions to be rendered.
(g)    At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each option granted by Brunswick to purchase shares of Brunswick Common Stock which is outstanding, unexpired and unexercised immediately prior thereto, whether or not previously vested and exercisable (“Brunswick Options”), shall automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive from Brunswick immediately prior to the Effective Time an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Brunswick Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Brunswick Option and (y) the Cash Consideration, less the per share exercise price of such Brunswick Option, without interest. In the event any Brunswick Option is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the payment of the amount of cash with respect thereto shall be delayed to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each share of Brunswick Common Stock subject to vesting, repurchase or other lapse restriction that is either outstanding or subject to a restricted stock unit or other Right (other than Brunswick Options) (“Brunswick Restricted Stock”) that is outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall vest in full and shall be canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this section, less applicable Tax withholding, and treating shares of Brunswick Common Stock subject to such Brunswick Restricted Stock in the same manner as all other shares of Brunswick Common Stock for such purposes. At or prior to the Effective Time, Brunswick, its board of directors and its compensation committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.1(g) and to ensure that following the Effective Time, there are no obligations with respect to Brunswick Options or Brunswick Restricted Stock other than as set forth in this Section 3.1(g).
(h)    In the event Mid Penn changes the number of shares of Mid Penn Common Stock issued and outstanding between the date hereof and the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, split up, combination, merger, issuer tender offer, exchange of shares, readjustment or similar capitalization change and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration shall be proportionately adjusted to give Brunswick and the holders of Brunswick Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such events. In addition, in the event
A-15


Mid Penn enters into an agreement pursuant to which shares of Mid Penn Common Stock would be converted into shares or other securities or obligations of another corporation, proper provision shall be made in such agreement so that each holder of Brunswick Common Stock entitled to receive shares of Mid Penn Common Stock in the Merger shall be entitled to receive such number of shares or other securities or amount or obligations of such other corporation as such shareholder would be entitled to receive if the Effective Time had occurred immediately prior to the happening of such event.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Mid Penn Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Mid Penn Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share interest, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Mid Penn. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Mid Penn shall pay to each former holder of Brunswick Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of Mid Penn Common Stock, an amount in cash, rounded to the nearest cent and without interest, equal to the product of (i) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of Brunswick Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time) of Mid Penn Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled pursuant to this Section 3.1 and (ii) the Cash Consideration. For purposes of determining any fractional share interest, all shares of Brunswick Common Stock owned by a Brunswick shareholder shall be combined so as to calculate the maximum number of whole shares of Mid Penn Common Stock issuable to such Brunswick shareholder. The parties acknowledge that the payment of such cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares is not separately bargained-for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.
(j)    If Brunswick’s Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity as of the Measuring Date is less than the Minimum Brunswick Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity, the Merger Consideration shall automatically be adjusted in the manner set forth in Exhibit D.
3.2.Proration.
(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the total number of shares of Brunswick Common Stock (including Brunswick Restricted Stock) to be entitled to receive the Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(c) shall be equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (i) 0.5 and (ii) the total number of shares of Brunswick Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including for these purposes Brunswick Restricted Stock, but excluding the shares of Brunswick Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 3.1(b)) (the “Cash Conversion Number”). All other shares of Brunswick Common Stock (including Brunswick Restricted Stock, but excluding the shares of Brunswick Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 3.1(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration.
(b)    Promptly (and in any event no later than five (5) business days) after the Effective Time, Mid Penn shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among Holders (as defined below) of rights to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration as follows:
A-16


(i)    If the aggregate number of shares of Brunswick Common Stock (including Brunswick Restricted Stock) with respect to which Cash Elections shall have been made (the “Cash Election Number”) exceeds the Cash Conversion Number, then all Stock Election Shares and all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and Cash Election Shares of each Holder will be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such Holder by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Cash Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Cash Election Number (with the Exchange Agent to determine whether fractions of Cash Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such Holder’s Cash Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration; and
(ii)    If the Cash Election Number is less than the Cash Conversion Number (the amount by which the Cash Conversion Number exceeds the Cash Election Number being referred to herein as the “Shortfall Number”), then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and the Non-Election Shares and Stock Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner:
(A)    If the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and the Non-Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration in respect of that number of Non-Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such Holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of Non-Election Shares (with the Exchange Agent to determine whether fractions of Non-Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such Holder’s Non-Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration; or
(B)    If the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and Stock Election Shares of each Holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration in respect of that number of Stock Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such Holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the Shortfall Number exceeds the total number of Non-Election Shares, and the denominator of which is the total number of Stock Election Shares (with the Exchange Agent to determine whether fractions of Stock Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such Holder’s Stock Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration.
3.3.Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers.
All shares of Brunswick Common Stock, when converted as provided in Section 3.1(c), shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each book-entry share or Certificate previously evidencing such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive for each such share of Brunswick Common Stock, the Merger Consideration and, if applicable, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Mid Penn Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.1(i). At the Effective Time, holders of the Brunswick Common Stock
A-17


shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of Brunswick other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Mid Penn Common Stock as provided under this Article III. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Brunswick of shares of the Brunswick Common Stock.
3.4.Election and Exchange Procedures.
Each holder of record (“Holder”) of shares of Brunswick Common Stock shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article III, to submit an election in accordance with the following procedures:
(a)    Each Holder may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4 (herein called an “Election”) (x) the number of shares of Brunswick Common Stock owned by such Holder with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Stock Election and (y) the number of shares of Brunswick Common Stock owned by such Holder with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Cash Election.
(b)    Mid Penn shall prepare a form reasonably acceptable to Brunswick (the “Form of Election”) which shall be mailed to Brunswick’s shareholders entitled to vote at the Brunswick Shareholders’ Meeting so as to permit Brunswick shareholders to exercise their right to make an Election prior to the Election Deadline.
(c)    The Form of Election shall be mailed to each Holder not more than forty-five (45) nor less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the anticipated Effective Time or on such date as Brunswick and Mid Penn shall mutually agree (the “Mailing Date”).
(d)    Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, by 5:00 p.m. local time in the city in which the principal office of such Exchange Agent is located, on the date that is the twenty-fifth (25th) calendar day following the Mailing Date (the “Election Deadline”), a Form of Election properly completed and signed.
(e)    Any Brunswick stockholder may, at any time prior to the Election Deadline, change or revoke his or her Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline accompanied by a properly completed and signed, revised Form of Election. If Mid Penn, after consultation with the Exchange Agent, shall determine in its reasonable discretion that any Election is not properly made with respect to any shares of Brunswick Common Stock, such Election shall be deemed to be not in effect, and the shares of Brunswick Common Stock covered by such Election shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be Non-Election Shares, unless a proper Election is thereafter timely made.
(f)    All Elections shall be revoked automatically if the Exchange Agent is notified in writing by Mid Penn or Brunswick that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article X.
(g)    If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name a Certificate surrendered pursuant to Section 3.4(j) is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in
A-18


proper form for transfer, as applicable, and the Person requesting such payment shall inform the Exchange Agent whether any transfer or other similar Taxes are required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Taxes are not payable. If such transfer or other similar Taxes are payable pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Exchange Agent shall withhold and deduct from the Merger Consideration (including Stock Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Mid Penn Common Stock) otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to the designated Person other than the registered holder such amounts as the Exchange Agent determines is necessary based on the information supplied by the registered holder. The Exchange Agent (or, subsequent to the six-month anniversary of the Effective Time, Mid Penn) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration (including Stock Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Mid Penn Common Stock) otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Brunswick Common Stock such amounts as the Exchange Agent or Mid Penn, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that any amounts are withheld by the Exchange Agent or Mid Penn, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Brunswick Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent or Mid Penn, as the case may be.
(h)    After the Effective Time there shall be no further registration or transfers of shares of Brunswick Common Stock. After the Effective Time, Certificates that are presented to the Surviving Corporation shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article III.
(i)    Until the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Time, Mid Penn shall make available on a timely basis or cause to be made available to the Exchange Agent the following: (i) certificates, or at Mid Penn’s option, evidence of shares in book entry form, representing the shares of Mid Penn Common Stock, sufficient to pay the aggregate Stock Consideration required pursuant to this Article III and (ii) an aggregate amount of cash sufficient to pay the Cash Consideration and the estimated amount of cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares of Mid Penn Common Stock, each to be given to the holders of Brunswick Common Stock in exchange for Certificates pursuant to this Article III. Upon such six (6) month anniversary, any such cash or certificates remaining in the possession of the Exchange Agent, together with any earnings in respect thereof, shall be delivered to Mid Penn. Any holder of Certificates who has not theretofore exchanged his or her Certificates for the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article III shall thereafter be entitled to look exclusively to Mid Penn, and only as a general creditor thereof, for the Merger Consideration, as applicable, to which he or she may be entitled upon exchange of such Certificates, as applicable, pursuant to this Article III. If outstanding Certificates are not surrendered, or the payment for the Certificates is not claimed prior to the date on which such payment would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by abandoned property and any other applicable law, become the property of Mid Penn (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all liens of any Person previously entitled to such property. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any of the parties hereto shall be liable to any holder of Brunswick Common Stock represented by any Certificate for any consideration paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Mid Penn and the Exchange Agent shall

(1)    amend its articles of incorporation or bylaws or similar governing documents of any of the Mid Penn Subsidiaries in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the economic benefits of the Merger to the holders of Brunswick Common Stock or that would materially impede Mid Penn’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
A-66


(2)    take any action that is intended to, would or would be reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article IX not being satisfied or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except, in every case, as may be required by applicable law; or
(3)    take any action, or knowingly fail to take any action, which action or failure to act prevents or impedes, or could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede, the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
7.2.Maintenance of Insurance.
Mid Penn shall maintain, and cause each Mid Penn Subsidiary to maintain, insurance in such amounts as are reasonable to cover such risks as are customary in relation to the character and location of their properties and the nature of their business, consistent with past practice.
7.3.Disclosure Supplements.
From time to time prior to the Effective Time, Mid Penn will promptly supplement or amend the Mid Penn Disclosure Schedule delivered in connection herewith with respect to any matter hereafter arising that, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Mid Penn Disclosure Schedule or that is necessary to correct any information in such Mid Penn Disclosure Schedule that has been rendered materially inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to such Mid Penn Disclosure Schedule shall have any effect for the purpose of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IX.

On or prior to the Effective Time, Mid Penn shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the individual identified in Section 2.4(e) to be appointed to the board of directors of Mid Penn.

(a)    After the Closing Date, the Brunswick Benefit Plans may, at Mid Penn’s election and subject to the requirements of the Code and ERISA and the terms of the Brunswick Benefit Plans, continue to be maintained separately, consolidated, merged, frozen or terminated.
(b)    Employees of Brunswick or any Brunswick Subsidiary who become participants in a Mid Penn Benefit Plan shall, except with respect to any Mid Penn Excluded Benefit Plan, be given credit for service as an employee of Brunswick or Brunswick Bank or any predecessor thereto prior to the Effective Time for purposes of determining eligibility to participate in such plans, vesting purposes under such plans and benefit levels (but not benefit accrual) under such plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, employees of Brunswick or any Brunswick Subsidiary who become eligible to participate in a Mid Penn Excluded Benefit Plan within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(2) shall be treated as new employees (without any credit for service prior to the Closing Date) for all purposes under any such Mid Penn Excluded Benefit Plan.
(c)    This Agreement shall not be construed to limit the ability of Mid Penn or Mid Penn Bank to terminate the employment of any employee or to review employee benefits programs from time to time and to make such changes (including terminating any benefit plan or program) as it deems appropriate.
(d)    In the event of any termination of any Brunswick health plan or consolidation of any Brunswick health plan with any Mid Penn health plan, Mid Penn shall make available to employees of Brunswick or any Brunswick Subsidiary and their dependents health coverage on the same basis as it provides such coverage to Mid Penn employees. Unless an employee of Brunswick or any Brunswick Subsidiary affirmatively terminates coverage under a Brunswick health plan prior to the time that such employee becomes eligible to participate in the Mid Penn health plan, no coverage of any of the employees of Brunswick or any Brunswick Subsidiary or their dependents shall terminate under any of the Brunswick health plans prior to the time such employees and their dependents become eligible to participate in the health plans, programs and benefits common to all employees of Mid Penn and their dependents. In the event of a termination or consolidation of any Brunswick health plan, terminated Brunswick and Brunswick Subsidiary employees and qualified beneficiaries will have the right, if applicable, to continuation coverage under group health plans of Mid Penn in accordance with COBRA and/or other applicable law. With respect to any employee of Brunswick or any Brunswick Subsidiary, any coverage limitation under the Mid Penn health plan due to any pre-existing condition shall be waived by the Mid Penn
A-68


health plan to the degree that such condition was covered by the Brunswick health plan and such condition would otherwise have been covered by the Mid Penn health plan in the absence of such coverage limitation. Mid Penn shall cause the applicable Mid Penn Benefit Plan to recognize any medical or other health expense incurred by an employee of Brunswick or any Brunswick Subsidiary in the plan year that includes the Closing Date for purposes of determining any applicable deductible and annual out of pocket expense thereunder.
(e)    In the event (i) Mid Penn terminates the employment (other than for circumstances reasonably constituting cause) of any active employees of Brunswick or Brunswick Bank (other than employees of Brunswick or Brunswick Bank who are subject to employment, change of control or similar contracts) who were employees as of the date of this Agreement and immediately prior to the Effective Time (each such employee, a “Brunswick Continuing Employee”), or (ii) such Brunswick Continuing Employee is not offered or retained in substantially comparable employment, with respect to job description, responsibilities, work location (it being understood that any work location that is located within thirty-five (35) miles of the Brunswick Continuing Employee’s work location as of the Closing Date shall be deemed “substantially comparable” for purposes of this Section 7.9 (e)) and pay, with Mid Penn or Mid Penn Bank, as applicable, then Mid Penn shall pay severance benefits to such employees as follows: (A) in the event employment is terminated on or prior to the date which is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, two (2) weeks’ salary for each full year of continuous service with Brunswick, with a minimum severance benefit of four (4) weeks and a maximum severance benefit of twenty six (26) weeks; (B) in the event employment is terminated thereafter, in accordance with the then existing severance policy of Mid Penn or its successor; or (C) as otherwise agreed between Brunswick and Mid Penn; provided, however, that Mid Penn’s obligation to pay severance to any Brunswick Continuing Employee pursuant to the foregoing shall be expressly conditioned on the receipt by Mid Penn of a release in such form and substance as deemed acceptable by Mid Penn in its sole and absolute discretion. From and after the Effective Time, Mid Penn shall permit all Brunswick Continuing Employees whose employment is terminated as of the Effective Time to participate in Mid Penn’s outplacement services plan for employees of Mid Penn and Mid Penn Subsidiaries, which outplacement services shall be provided for a period of not less than six months following the termination of employment by an outplacement agency selected by Mid Penn.
(f)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, Brunswick shall take, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to take, all actions that may be requested by Mid Penn to cause the termination, amendment or freezing of any Brunswick Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time. To the extent that Mid Penn has not requested Brunswick or its Subsidiaries to terminate, amend or freeze any Brunswick Benefit Plan, Mid Penn agrees to honor, or cause one of the Mid Penn Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their terms, all such Brunswick Benefit Plans, subject to any limitations imposed under applicable law or by any Regulatory Authority (other than tax laws); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Mid Penn or any of the Mid Penn Subsidiaries from amending or terminating any such Brunswick Benefit Plans in accordance with its terms and applicable law.
(g)    As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, Brunswick and Mid Penn shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to establish an aggregate retention bonus amount and identify key employees of Brunswick or Mid Penn who will
A-69


be offered a retention bonus prior to the Effective Time upon such terms and conditions as the Chief Executive Officers of Brunswick and Mid Penn shall mutually agree.
(h)    If requested by Mid Penn in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time, Brunswick shall cause any 401(k) plan sponsored or maintained by Brunswick or any Brunswick Subsidiary (each, a “Brunswick 401(k) Plan”) to be terminated effective as of the day immediately prior to the Effective Time and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing. If Mid Penn requests that the Brunswick 401(k) Plan be terminated, the Brunswick Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate effective as of the Effective Time, in a 401(k) plan sponsored or maintained by Mid Penn or one of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Mid Penn 401(k) Plan”). Brunswick and Mid Penn shall take any and all actions as may be required, including amendments to any Brunswick 401(k) Plan and/or Mid Penn 401(k) Plan, to permit the Brunswick Continuing Employees who are then actively employed to make eligible rollover contributions to the Mid Penn 401(k) Plan in the form of cash, in-kind benefits (if permitted by the Mid Penn 401(k) Plan), outstanding participant loans or a combination thereof.
(i)    The provisions of this Section 7.9 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former director, officer, employee, other service provider or independent contractor or any other person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Brunswick or Mid Penn Benefit Plan or other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement for any purpose.
7.10.Directors and Officers Indemnification and Insurance.
(a) Following the Effective Time, Mid Penn shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each person who is now, or who has been at any time before the date hereof or who becomes before the Effective Time, an officer, director or employee of Brunswick or Brunswick Bank (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including attorney’s fees), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement (which settlement shall require the prior written consent of Mid Penn, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, or administrative (each a “Claim”), in which an Indemnified Party is, or is threatened to be made, a party or witness in whole or in part or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of Brunswick or a Brunswick Subsidiary if such Claim pertains to any matter of fact arising, existing or occurring at or before the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby), regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed before, or after, the Effective Time, to the fullest extent as would have been permitted by Brunswick under New Jersey law and under Brunswick’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Mid Penn shall pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such action or proceeding to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent as would have been permitted by Brunswick under New Jersey law and under Brunswick’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such advance payments if such Indemnified Party shall be adjudicated or determined to be not entitled to indemnification. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this subsection upon learning of any Claim, shall notify Mid Penn (but the failure so to notify Mid Penn shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this subsection, except to the extent such failure
A-70


materially prejudices Mid Penn) and shall deliver to Mid Penn the undertaking referred to in the previous sentence.
(b) In the event that either Mid Penn or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving bank or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Mid Penn shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.10.
(c) Mid Penn shall maintain, or shall cause Mid Penn Bank to maintain, in effect for six (6) years following the Effective Time, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies covering the officers and directors of Brunswick (provided, that Mid Penn may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are not materially less favorable) with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, provided, however, that in no event shall Mid Penn be required to expend pursuant to this subsection more than two hundred percent (200%) of the annual cost currently expended by Brunswick with respect to such insurance (the “Maximum Amount”); provided, further, that if the amount of the annual premium necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, Mid Penn shall maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance obtainable for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount. In connection with the foregoing, Brunswick agrees in order for Mid Penn to fulfill its agreement to provide directors and officers liability insurance policies for six (6) years to provide such insurer or substitute insurer with such reasonable and customary representations as such insurer may request with respect to the reporting of any prior claims.
(d) The obligations of Mid Penn provided under this Section 7.10 are intended to be enforceable against Mid Penn directly by the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all respective successors and permitted assigns of Mid Penn.
7.11.Stock Reserve.
Mid Penn agrees at all times from the date of this Agreement until the Merger Consideration has been paid in full to reserve a sufficient number of shares of its common stock and to maintain sufficient liquid accounts or borrowing capacity to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.
7.12.Exchange Listing.

Mid Penn shall take all action necessary and appropriate to approve the Bank Plan of Merger as sole shareholder of Mid Penn Bank and obtain the approval of, and cause the execution
A-71


and delivery of, the Bank Plan of Merger by Mid Penn Bank in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and as soon as practicable after completion of the Merger on the Effective Time.

Definitions
For purposes of this Exhibit D, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
Adjusted Deal Value” shall mean Fifty-One Million One Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Thirty Two Dollars ($51,137,532) minus the Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity Shortfall.
Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity Shortfall” shall mean the Minimum Brunswick Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity minus Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity as of the Measuring Date.

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of common stock (“Brunswick Stock”) of Brunswick Bancorp (“Brunswick”) of the Merger Consideration (as defined below) to be received by such holders pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 20, 2022 (the “Agreement”), by and among Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (“MPB”), Mid Penn Bank, a federally-chartered national banking association and wholly-owned subsidiary of MPB (“Mid Penn Bank”), Brunswick and Brunswick Bank and Trust Company, a New Jersey-chartered bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Brunswick (“Brunswick Bank”). The Agreement provides for the merger of Brunswick with and into MPB with MPB as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. The terms of the Merger are set forth more fully in the Agreement and descriptions of any such terms herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Agreement.
Subject to the provisions of the Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, each share of Brunswick’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder, either (i) a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to $18.00 (subject to adjustment as provided in section 3.1(j) of the Agreement) (the “Cash Consideration”); or (ii) 0.5980 (subject to adjustment as provided in section 3.1(j) of the Agreement) (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of MPB Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”), subject to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid to holders of Brunswick Common Stock will be paid with Mid Penn Common Stock. The Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration as set forth in section 3.1 of the Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Merger Consideration.”

The portion of our fee for rendering this opinion is not contingent upon any conclusion that we may reach or upon completion of the Merger. Brunswick has agreed to indemnify us and our affiliates for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement and to reimburse us for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our engagement.
During the course of our engagement and for the purposes of our analyses and the opinion set forth herein, we have reviewed and considered, among other things:

(x)And, such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as we considered relevant.
We also discussed with certain members of the senior management of Brunswick and its representatives the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Brunswick and held similar discussions with certain members of the senior management of MPB and its representatives regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of MPB. We have taken into account our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions, our experience in other transactions as well as our knowledge of the banking industry and our general experience in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities.
In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information and representations contained in the materials provided to us by Brunswick and MPB and in the discussions with Brunswick’s and MPB’s respective management teams. We have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such information. We have further relied upon the assurances of the management of Brunswick that the financial information provided has been prepared on a reasonable basis in accordance with industry practice, and that they are not aware of any information or facts that would make any information provided to us incomplete or misleading. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for the purpose of our analyses and this opinion, we have assumed that, with respect to financial forecasts, estimates and other forward-looking information reviewed by us, that such information has been reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Brunswick and MPB (as the case may be) as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of Brunswick and MPB and the other matters covered thereby. We have also assumed that the financial estimates and allowances regarding under-performing and nonperforming assets and net charge-offs have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available information, judgments and estimates of Brunswick and MPB and that such estimates will be realized in the amounts and at the times contemplated thereby. We are not experts in the evaluation of loan and lease portfolios for purposes of assessing the adequacy of the allowances for losses with respect thereto and have assumed and relied upon management’s estimates and projections. We were not retained to and did not conduct a physical inspection of any of the properties or facilities of Brunswick or MPB or their respective subsidiaries. In addition, we have not reviewed individual credit files nor have we made an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities of Brunswick or MPB nor any of their respective subsidiaries, and we were not furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals.
We have assumed that the proposed Merger will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement, without any modification, amendment or waiver of any terms that would be material to our analyses. We have assumed that the proposed Merger is, and will be, in compliance with all laws and regulations that are applicable to Brunswick and MPB. In rendering this opinion, we have been advised by both Brunswick and MPB that there are no known factors that could impede or cause any material delay in obtaining the necessary regulatory and governmental approvals of the proposed Merger. Also, in rendering our opinion, we have assumed that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or other third party approvals or consents in connection with the proposed Merger, no modification, delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on Brunswick, MPB or the contemplated benefits of the proposed Merger, including without limitation, the cost savings expected by Brunswick and MPB to result from the proposed Merger.

Board of Directors
Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc.
2407 Park Drive
Harrisburg, PA 17110
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Mid Penn Bancorp (“Mid Penn”) and Brunswick Bancorp (“Brunswick”) are proposing to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Brunswick will merge with and into Mid Penn with Mid Penn as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As set forth in the Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share Brunswick Common Stock, other than certain shares of Brunswick Common Stock specified in the Agreement, shall be converted into, as provided in and subject to the limitations set forth in the Agreement, the right to receive, without interest, at the election of the holder thereof and in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Agreement, the following: (i) for each share of Brunswick Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, the right to receive $18.00 (the “Cash Consideration”); (ii) for each share of Brunswick Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive Mid Penn Common Stock has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, the right to receive 0.598 of a share of Mid Penn Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”); and (iii) for each share of Brunswick Common Stock other than shares as to which a Cash Election or a Stock Election has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, the right to receive such Stock Consideration or Cash Consideration as determined in accordance with the Agreement, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Agreement. The Agreement provides, generally, that the total number of shares of Brunswick Common Stock entitled to receive the Cash Consideration shall be equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (i) 0.5 and (ii) the total number of shares of Brunswick Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, with all other shares of Brunswick Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration. The Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration are collectively referred to herein as the “Merger Consideration”. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement. You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to Mid Penn.
Piper Sandler & Co. (“Piper Sandler”, “we” or “our”), as part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions. In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed and considered, among other things: (i) a draft of the Agreement, dated December 15, 2022; (ii) certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Mid Penn and its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Mid Penn Bank, that we deemed relevant; (iii) certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Brunswick and its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Brunswick Bank and Trust Company, that we deemed relevant; (iv) internal net income projections for Mid Penn for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the year ending December 31, 2023 with a long-term annual earnings per share growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2026 and estimated dividends per share for Mid Penn for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2026, as provided by the senior management of Mid Penn; (v) internal net income projections for Brunswick for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 with a long-term annual earnings per share growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2026 and estimated dividends per share for Brunswick for the quarter ending December 31 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2026, as provided by the senior management of Brunswick; (vi) the pro forma financial impact of the Merger on Mid Penn based on certain assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings, as well as the establishment of certain reserves for current expected credit losses (CECL) accounting standards, as provided by the senior management of Mid Penn; (vii) the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for Mid Penn Common Stock and Brunswick Common Stock, including a
C-1


comparison of certain stock trading information for Mid Penn Common Stock, Brunswick Common Stock and certain stock indices, as well as similar publicly available information for certain other companies, the securities of which are publicly traded; (viii) a comparison of certain financial and market information for Mid Penn and Brunswick with similar financial institutions for which information is publicly available; (ix) the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the bank and thrift industry (on a regional basis), to the extent publicly available; (x) the current market environment generally and the banking environment in particular; and (xi) such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as we considered relevant. We also discussed with certain members of the senior management of Mid Penn the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Mid Penn and held similar discussions with certain members of the senior management of Brunswick and its representatives regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Brunswick.
In performing our review, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was available to us from public sources, that was provided to us by Mid Penn, Brunswick or their respective representatives, or that was otherwise reviewed by us, and we have assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering this opinion without any independent verification or investigation. We have further relied on the assurances of the senior managements of Mid Penn and Brunswick that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading in any respect material to our analyses. We have not been asked to undertake, and have not undertaken, an independent verification of any such information and we do not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. We did not make an independent evaluation or perform an appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Mid Penn or Brunswick, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. We render no opinion on, or evaluation of, the collectability of any assets or the future performance of any loans of Mid Penn or Brunswick. We did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Mid Penn or Brunswick, or the combined entity after the Merger, and we have not reviewed any individual credit files relating to Mid Penn or Brunswick. We have assumed, with your consent, that the respective allowances for loan losses for both Mid Penn and Brunswick are adequate to cover such losses and will be adequate on a pro forma basis for the combined entity.
In preparing its analyses, Piper Sandler used internal net income projections for Mid Penn for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the year ending December 31, 2023 with a long-term annual earnings per share growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2026 and estimated dividends per share for Mid Penn for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2026, as provided by the senior management of Mid Penn. In addition, Piper Sandler used internal net income projections for Brunswick for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 with a long-term annual earnings per share growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2026 and estimated dividends per share for Brunswick for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 and for the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2026, as provided by the senior management of Brunswick. Piper Sandler also received and used in its pro forma analysis certain assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings, as well as the establishment of certain reserves for CECL accounting standards, as provided by the senior management of Mid Penn. With respect to the foregoing information, the senior managements of Mid Penn and Brunswick confirmed to us that such information reflected the best currently available projections, estimates and judgements of those respective senior managements as to the
future financial performance of Mid Penn and Brunswick, respectively, and we assumed that the financial results reflected in such information would be achieved. We express no opinion as to such estimates or judgements, or the assumptions on which they are based. We have also assumed that there has been no material change in Mid Penn’s or Brunswick’s assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to us. We have assumed in all respects material to our analyses that Mid Penn and Brunswick will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to our analyses.
We have also assumed, with your consent, that (i) each of the parties to the Agreement will comply in all material respects with all material terms and conditions of the Agreement and all related agreements required to effect the Merger, that all of the representations and warranties contained in such agreements are true and correct in all material respects, that each of the parties to such agreements will perform in all material respects all of the covenants and other obligations required to be performed by such party under such agreements and that the
C-2


conditions precedent in such agreements are not and will not be waived, (ii) in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases with respect to the Merger, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on Mid Penn, Brunswick, the Merger or any related transactions, and (iii) the Merger and any related transactions will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement without any waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof and in compliance with all applicable laws and other requirements. Finally, with your consent, we have relied upon the advice that Mid Penn has received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement. We express no opinion as to any such matters.
Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, regulatory, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect this opinion. We have not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw this opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date hereof. We express no opinion as to the trading value of Mid Penn Common Stock or Brunswick Common Stock at any time, or what the value of Mid Penn Common Stock will be once it is actually received by the holders of Brunswick Common Stock.
We will receive a fee for rendering this opinion. Mid Penn has also agreed to indemnify us against certain claims and liabilities arising out of our engagement and to reimburse us for certain of our out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our engagement. In the two years preceding the date of this opinion, Piper Sandler has provided certain other investment banking
services to Mid Penn. In summary, Piper Sandler (i) acted as financial advisor to Mid Penn in connection with Mid Penn’s acquisition of Riverview Financial Corporation, which transaction closed in November 2021 and for which Piper Sandler received approximately $1,350,000 in compensation, and (ii) acted as book manager in connection with Mid Penn’s follow-on offering of common stock, which transaction occurred in April 2021 and for which Piper Sandler received approximately $2,100,000 in compensation. Piper Sandler did not provide any investment banking services to Brunswick in the two years preceding the date of this opinion. In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may purchase securities from and sell securities to Mid Penn, Brunswick and their respective affiliates. We may also actively trade the equity and debt securities of Mid Penn and Brunswick for our own account and for the accounts of our customers.
Our opinion is directed to the Board of Directors of Mid Penn in connection with its consideration of the Agreement and the Merger. Our opinion is directed only as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to Mid Penn and does not address the underlying business decision of Mid Penn to engage in the Merger, the form or structure of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated in the Agreement, the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any other alternative transactions or business strategies that might exist for Mid Penn or the effect of any other transaction in which Mid Penn might engage. We also do not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to be received in the Merger by any Mid Penn officer, director or employee, or class of such persons, if any, relative to the amount of compensation to be received by any other shareholder, if any. This opinion has been approved by Piper Sandler’s fairness opinion committee. This opinion may not be reproduced without Piper Sandler’s prior written consent; provided, however, Piper Sandler will provide its consent for the opinion to be included in any regulatory filings, including the Proxy Statement-Prospectus and the Registration Statement, to be filed with the SEC and mailed to shareholders in connection with the Merger.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to Mid Penn.
Very truly yours,
/s/Piper Sandler & Co.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF Brunswick Bancorp, Inc.
This section presents the perspective of management of Brunswick Bancorp, Inc. on its financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion and analysis is intended to highlight and supplement data and information presented elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements and related notes, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying tables and the annual audited financial statements of Brunswick Bancorp, Inc. To the extent that this discussion describes prior performance, the descriptions relate only to the periods listed, which may not be indicative of future financial outcomes. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause results to differ materially from management’s expectations. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Special Considerations and Risk Factors.” Brunswick Bancorp, Inc. assumes no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements. As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Brunswick Bancorp, Inc.,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Brunswick Bancorp, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Brunswick Bank and Trust, BTB Investment Corp. Inc., Brunscor Realty, Inc., and Brunswick Title Agency.
Overview
Brunswick Bancorp, Inc. (“Brunswick Bancorp” or “Brunswick”) is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Brunswick Bank & Trust Company (“Brunswick Bank”, or the “Bank”), and is regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank also has a wholly-owned investment subsidiary, BTB Investment Corp. Inc. In addition, the Bank also has two other subsidiaries, Brunscor Realty, Inc. and Brunswick Title Agency. The Bank generates commercial, mortgage and consumer loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in central New Jersey with primary emphasis on Middlesex and Monmouth Counties; services are provided at five locations. As of September 30, 2022, Brunswick Bancorp, Inc. had total assets of $381.6 million, net loans of $299.4 million, total deposits of $279.8 million and total stockholders’ equity of $43.1 million.
As a bank holding company operating through one reporting unit, Brunswick Bancorp generates most of its revenues from interest income on loans, deposit service and loan fees, and interest "income from securities. It incurs interest expense on deposits and other borrowed funds and noninterest expense, such as salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expenses. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets such as loans and securities and interest expense on liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, which are used to fund those assets. Net interest income is the organization’s largest source of revenue. To evaluate net interest income, Brunswick measures and monitors (1) yields on loans and other interest-earning assets, (2) the costs of deposits and other funding sources, (3) net interest spread and (4) net interest margin. Net interest spread is the difference between rates earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is calculated as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Because noninterest-bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity, also fund interest-earning assets, net interest margin includes the benefit of these noninterest-bearing sources.
Changes in the market interest rates and interest rates earned on interest-earning assets or paid on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the volume and types of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing liabilities and stockholders’ equity, are usually the largest drivers of periodic changes in net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income. Fluctuations in market interest rates are driven by many factors, including governmental monetary policies, inflation, deflation, macroeconomic developments, changes in unemployment, the money supply, political and international conditions and conditions in domestic and foreign financial markets. Periodic changes in the volume and types of loans in the Bank’s loan portfolio are affected by, among other factors, economic and competitive conditions in New Jersey and specifically in the markets in which it operates, as well as developments affecting the real estate, financial services, insurance, transportation, manufacturing and distribution sectors within its target markets and throughout New Jersey.
D-1


Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Net income was $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared with $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $666 thousand, or 31.3%. The increase in net income was primarily the result of a $1.3 million increase in net interest income. Annualized returns on average equity were 8.36% and 6.75% and annualized returns on average assets were 0.99% and 0.82%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, which are used to fund those assets. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and net interest margin.
Net interest income before the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $9.8 million compared with $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $1.3 million, or 14.7%. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to the increase in average interest-earning assets of $18.1 million, or 5.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.
Interest income was $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $1.3 million, or 13.5%, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase of $996 thousand or 10.6% in interest income on loans and $277 thousand in interest income on investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The lift in interest income can be attributed to an increase in average balances on loans and investments of $27.4 million and $756 thousand, respectively.
Interest expense was $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $59 thousand, or 5.1%, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $15.0 million, or 6.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The average yield on interest earning assets increased over the prior period while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities remained flat. The average yield on interest-earning assets of 4.36% and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 0.65%, as of September 30, 2022, were primarily impacted by significant increases in market interest rates of 300 basis points, as well as improvement in the volume and relative mix of the underlying assets and liabilities.
The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the total dollar amount of average balances, interest income from average interest-earning assets and the annualized resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed in both dollars and rates. Any non-accruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Provision for Loan Losses
Brunswick Bancorp’s provision for loan losses is a charge to income in order to bring its allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management. Provision for loan losses decreased $150 thousand, or 48.4%, from $310 thousand compared to $160 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Provision expense was lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 2021 due to improved asset quality trends and economic conditions.
Noninterest Income
Brunswick Bancorp’s primary sources of noninterest income are service charges on deposit accounts, debit card and ATM card income and earnings on bank-owned life insurance. Noninterest income does not include loan origination fees.
Noninterest income totaled $803 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $904 thousand for the same period in 2021, a decrease of $101 thousand, or 12.6%. The decline in noninterest income from September 30, 2021 to September 30, 2022 was primarily due to a loss on the sale of foreclosed real estate partially offset by an increase in service charges and fees on deposit accounts of $91 thousand.

Efficiency Ratio
The efficiency ratio is a supplemental financial measure utilized in management’s internal evaluation of Brunswick Bancorp’s performance and is not calculated based on generally accepted accounting principles. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing total noninterest expense, excluding loan loss provisions, by net interest income plus total noninterest income, as shown in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The efficiency ratio is calculated by excluding from noninterest income the net gains and losses on the sale of investment securities, which can vary widely from period to period. Additionally, taxes and provision for loan losses are not included in this calculation. An increase in the efficiency ratio indicates that more resources are being utilized to generate the same volume of income and/or being invested to generate future income, while a decrease would indicate a more efficient allocation of resources. Brunswick Bancorp’s efficiency ratio was 62.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 65.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Income Taxes
The amount of federal income tax expense is influenced by the amount of pre-tax income, the amount of tax-exempt income and the amount of other nondeductible expenses. Income tax expense increased $223 thousand, or 27.5%, to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared with $812 thousand for the same period in 2021 due to an increase in pre-tax income. Brunswick Bancorp’s effective tax rates were 27.0% and 27.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Impact of Inflation
Brunswick Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative value of money over time due to inflation or recession.
Unlike many industrial companies, substantially all of Brunswick Bancorp’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on Brunswick’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates may not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. However, other operating expenses do reflect general levels of inflation.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
Net income was $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared with $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $662 thousand, or 24.5%. The increase in net income was primarily the result of a $2.7 million increase in net interest income partially offset by a $1.6 million reduction in noninterest income. Returns on average equity were 7.87% and 7.40% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The returns on average assets was 0.95% and 0.97% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $11.7 million compared with $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $2.7 million, or 29.6%. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to the increase in average interest-earning assets of $69.1 million, or 27.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared with the year ended December 31, 2020.
Interest income was $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $1.8 million, or 15.9%, compared with the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to an increase of $1.8 million of interest income and fees on loans during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 as a result of the increase in average loans outstanding of $47.6 million.
Interest expense was $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $857 thousand, or 36.1%, compared with the year ended December 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in interest rates paid on the average interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 62 basis points from approximately .63% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 1.25% with the year ended December 31, 2020.

Provision for Loan Losses
Brunswick Bancorp’s provision for loan losses is a charge to income in order to bring its allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management. Provision for loan losses decreased $215 thousand, or 41.0%, from $525 thousand compared to $310 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Provision expense was lower for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020 due to improved asset quality trends and economic conditions.
Noninterest Income
Brunswick Bancorp’s primary sources of noninterest income are service charges on deposit accounts, debit card and ATM card income and earnings on bank-owned life insurance.
Noninterest income totaled $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 47.1%. This decrease was primarily due to net gains recorded on the sale of premises and equipment during 2020 in the amount of $2.2 million and net gains on sale of securities in the amount of $159 thousand. Offsetting this decline was an increase in other income of $635 thousand primarily related to gain on sale of loans of $453 thousand.

Efficiency Ratio
Brunswick Bancorp calculates the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, excluding net gains and losses on the sale of securities. Additionally, taxes and provision for loan losses are not part of this calculation. The efficiency ratio was 62.8% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared with 65.6% for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Income Taxes
The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of pre-tax income, the amount of tax-exempt income and the amount of other nondeductible expenses. Income tax expense increased $299 thousand, or 28.6%, to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared with $1.0 million for the same period.
The effective tax rates were 28.5% and 27.84% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Brunswick Bancorp has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. Diversification of the loan portfolio is a means of managing the risks associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.
In order to manage the diversification of the portfolio, the Bank segments loans into classes. The Commercial segment is sub-segmented into classes that include commercial real estate, Commercial and Industrial, and Construction & Land development while the Residential segment is sub-segmented into classes that include 1-4 Family Residential loans and Multifamily loans. Additionally, Brunswick Bank’s consumer and other segment includes automobile loans to consumers, tax-exempt loans to state municipalities and farmland loans. The Bank analyzes the overall ability of the borrower and guarantors to repay a loan. Information and risk management practices specific to the Bank’s loan segments and classes follows.
Commercial. Brunswick Bank makes commercial loans which are primarily viewed as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. The properties securing the Bank’s commercial real estate loans can be owner occupied or nonowner occupied. Concentrations within the various types of commercial properties are monitored by management in order to assess the risks in the portfolio. The Commercial loan portfolio increased $10.2 million to $188.3 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $178.1 million as of December 31, 2021. Total Commercial loans as of December 31, 2021 increased $21.0 million compared from December 31, 2020.
The repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Accordingly, repayment of these loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy to a greater extent than other types of loans. Brunswick Bank seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways in connection with underwriting these loans, including giving careful consideration to the property’s operating history, future operating projections, current and projected occupancy, location and physical condition.
The Bank’s commercial and industrial loans represent credit extended to small- to medium-sized businesses primarily for the purpose of providing working capital and equipment purchase financing. Commercial and industrial loans often are dependent on the profitable operations of the borrower. These credits are primarily made based on the expected cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may also incorporate a personal guarantee. Some shorter-term loans may be extended on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts
D-10


due from its customers. The cash flows of borrowers may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate, increasing the risk associated with this loan segment. As a result of the additional complexities, variables, and risks, commercial loans typically require more thorough underwriting and servicing than other types of loans. The commercial and industrial loan portfolio decreased $6.5 million, or 62.1%, to $4.0 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $10.5 million as of December 31, 2021. Total commercial and industrial loans as of December 31, 2021 decreased $3.7 million, or 25.8%, compared to $14.2 million as of December 31, 2020.
Construction and land development loans are generally nonowner occupied and are subject to certain risks attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced over the construction phase and the project is of uncertain value prior to its completion. Construction loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay the loan. Brunswick Bank has underwriting and funding procedures designed to address what it believes to be the risks associated with such loans; however, no assurance can be given the procedures will prevent losses resulting from the risks described above.
Residential. The Bank’s real estate lending activities also include the origination of 1-4 family residential and multi-family residential loans. The terms of these loans typically range from three to 20 years and are secured by the properties financed. Brunswick Bank requires the borrowers to maintain mortgage title insurance and hazard insurance. The 1-4 family residential portfolio includes both first and second liens as well as home equity lines of credit.
Consumer and other. Consumer and other loans include automobile loans, tax-exempt loans, and farmland loans. The terms of these loans typically range from one to seven years and vary based on the nature of collateral and size of the loan. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans. To monitor and manage consumer loan risk, policies and procedures are developed and modified, as deemed appropriate by the Bank’s management. The consumer and other loan portfolio decreased $94 thousand, or 4.4%, to $2.0 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $2.1 million as of December 31, 2021. Total consumer and other loans as of December 31, 2021 increased $57 thousand, or 27.7%, compared to $2.1 million as of December 31, 2020.
Concentrations of Credit
The vast majority of Brunswick Bank’s lending activity occurs in Middlesex and Monmouth Counties, New Jersey. The Bank’s loans are primarily secured by real estate, including commercial and residential construction, owner occupied and nonowner occupied and multi-family commercial real estate, raw land and other real estate based loans located in these areas. As of September 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and 2020, real estate loans represented 98.0%, 95.5% and 93.3%, respectively, of the Bank’s total loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance that is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. The amount of the allowance for loan losses is affected by the following: (i) charge-offs of loans that decrease the allowance, (ii) subsequent recoveries on loans previously charged off that increase the allowance and (iii) provisions for loan losses charged to income that increase the allowance. For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, Brunswick Bank considers the loans in its portfolio by
D-14


segment, class and risk grade. Management uses judgment to determine the estimation method that fits the credit risk characteristics of each portfolio segment or loan class. To assist in the assessment of risk, management reviews reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential problem loans. Brunswick Bank utilizes an independent third party loan review service to review the credit risk assigned to loans on a periodic basis and the results are presented to management for review.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses amounted to $3.0 million, or 1.00% and 1.03%, respectively, of total loans, as compared with $2.5 million, or 1.02% of total loans, as of December 31, 2020. Brunswick Bank believes that the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was adequate to cover probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio as of such date.

Debt Securities
As of September 30, 2022, the carrying amount of debt securities totaled $42.5 million, an increase of $400 thousand, compared with $42.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The carrying amount of debt securities at December 31, 2021 increased $1.8 million compared with $40.4 million as of December 31, 2020. Debt securities represented 11.1%, 11.3% and 12.8% of total assets as of September 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively.
The majority of the debt securities in the portfolio are classified as available for sale.

The Bank does not have the intent to sell any of the debt securities while in a loss position and believes that it is not likely that it will have to sell any of these securities before a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses are attributable primarily to changes in market interest rates relative to those available when the securities were acquired. The fair value of these securities is expected to recover as the securities reach their maturity or re-pricing date, or if market rates for such investments decline.
The Bank does not believe that any of the debt securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. Unrealized losses increased $6.1 million from $606 thousand at December 31, 2021 to $6.7 million at September 30, 2022. Over the same period, the federal reserve open market committee increased the target federal funds rate 425 bps. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and 2020, Brunswick Bank believes the impairments were temporary, and no impairment loss has been realized in its consolidated statements of income for the periods then ended.
The average yield of Brunswick Bank’s debt securities portfolio was 1.78% during the nine months ended 2022 compared to 0.91% for the same period in 2021. The average yield for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 0.96% compared with 1.50% for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Deposits
Brunswick Bank’s lending and investing activities are primarily funded by deposits. The Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts having a range of interest rates and terms including demand, savings, money market and certificates and other time accounts.

Deposits at December 31, 2021 increased $45.4 million, or 19.5%, compared with $232.2 million at December 31, 2020. The deposit growth experienced in 2020 was organic deposit growth.

Borrowings
The Bank has established lines of credit with financial institutions for the purchase of federal funds including an unsecured line of $3.0 million and a secured line of $8.0 million with Atlantic Community Bankers Bank as well as an unsecured line of $5.0 million with Zions Bank. There were no borrowings outstanding on these lines as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
The FHLB-NY approved the Bank to borrow up to 30% of its total assets based on available collateral, by pledging loans and or securities. Each advance is payable at its maturity date, with a prepayment penalty for fixed rate advances. FHLB advances outstanding at September 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020 were $54.7 million, $41.7 million, and $26.7 million, respectively. These advances carried weighted average rates of 1.58%, 1.05%, and 1.08%, as of September 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Bank participated in the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility program (PPPLF), with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, whereas it was able to pledge its PPP loans that were secured with the SBA. There are no prepayment penalties associated with these borrowings. At September 30, 2022, the Bank had total borrowings under the PPPLF of $572 thousand which bear interest at 0.35% and mature in 2026. At December 31, 2021, the Bank had total borrowings under the PPPLF of $5.5 million which bear interest at 0.35% and mature 2026.

Off-Balance Sheet Items
Brunswick is party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines, overdraft protection agreements and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of the instruments reflect the extent of the Bank’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. Brunswick Bank uses the same credit policies in making these commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Brunswick Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if considered necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
The following is a summary of the various financial instruments entered into by Brunswick Bank as of the dates indicated:
September 30, 2022December 31, 2021December 31, 2020

Consumer lines of credit11,195 6,349 5,699 
$47,757 $32,752 $31,285 
Commitments to Extend Credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment amounts disclosed above do not necessarily represent future cash requirements
Standby Letters of Credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Brunswick Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Brunswick Bank’s credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in funding loans facilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Liquidity is the measure of Brunswick’s ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting operating, capital and strategic cash flow needs and to maintain reserve requirements to operate on an ongoing basis and manage unexpected events, all at a reasonable cost. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Brunswick Bancorp’s liquidity needs have been met by core deposits, borrowed funds, security and loan maturities and amortizing investment and loan portfolios. Brunswick Bancorp has access to purchased funds from correspondent banks, and advances from the FHLB are available under a security and pledge agreement to take advantage of investment opportunities.

Capital Resources
Brunswick Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by bank regulators. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures and risk weighting of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.
Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements. The Bank believes, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, that it met all of the capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of September 30, 2022, Brunswick Bank and Trust was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that the Bank believes has changed it’s prompt corrective action category.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Brunswick Bancorp manages market risk, comprised primarily of interest rate risk related to the operations of its subsidiary bank, through the Asset-Liability Committee of Brunswick Bancorp. This committee is composed of certain members of the Brunswick Bancorp Board of Directors in accordance with asset liability and funds management policies approved by the full Board of Directors of Brunswick Bancorp. The Company uses an interest rate risk simulation model and shock analysis to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and fair value of equity, and the impact of changes in interest rates on other financial metrics.

Critical Accounting Policy
The consolidated financial statements of Brunswick Bancorp include its accounts and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Brunswick Bank and Trust, BTB Investment Corp. Inc., Brunscor Realty, and Brunswick Title Agency. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of all these entities are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Brunswick Bancorp has identified the following accounting policy and estimates that, due to the difficult, subjective or complex judgments and assumptions inherent in those policies and estimates and the potential sensitivity of its financial statements to those judgments and assumptions, are critical to an understanding of its financial condition and results of operations. Brunswick Bancorp believes that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of its financial statements are appropriate. The Company’s accounting policies are integral to understanding its results of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Management considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy, given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to cover credit losses in the portfolio and the material effect that such judgments can have on the results of operations. Management believes that the Bank’s policy with respect to the methodology for the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments, which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could materially impact results of operations.
This critical policy and its application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. The provision for loan losses is based upon Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance, including an assessment of known and inherent risks in the portfolio, giving consideration to the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, level of delinquencies, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability may not be assured, the existence and estimated fair value of any underlying collateral, guarantees securing the loans, and current economic and market conditions. Although Management uses current and relevant information available in relation to their loan portfolio, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate, which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.
Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the adequacy of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to make additional provisions for loan losses based upon information available to them at the time of their examination. Furthermore, the majority of the
D-23


Bank’s loans are secured by real estate in primarily central New Jersey region. Accordingly, the collectability of a substantial portion of the carrying value of Brunswick’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in local market economic conditions and may experience adverse changes. Future adjustments to the provision for loan losses and allowance for loan losses may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Bank’s control.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 1741 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, or the PBCL, provides, in general, that a corporation will have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a representative of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another enterprise. Such indemnity may be against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and if, with respect to any criminal proceeding, the person did not have reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 1742 of the PBCL provides, in general, that a corporation will have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a representative of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another entity. Such indemnity may be against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court of common pleas of the judicial district embracing the county in which the registered office of the corporation is located or the court in which the action was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court of common pleas or other court deems proper.
Under Section 1743 of the PBCL, the corporation is required to indemnify directors and officers against expenses they may incur in defending actions against them in such capacities if they are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of such actions. Under Section 1745 of the PBCL, a corporation may pay the expenses of a director or officer incurred in defending an action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking from such person to repay the amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification from the corporation. Mid Penn’s bylaws provide indemnification of directors, officers and other agents of Mid Penn and advancement of expenses to the extent otherwise permitted by Sections 1741, 1742 and 1745 of the PBCL.
Mid Penn’s bylaws provide that the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses in the bylaws are not exclusive, and may be in addition to, any rights granted to an indemnitee under an agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. As authorized by Section 1747 of the PBCL and Mid Penn’s bylaws, Mid Penn maintains, on behalf of its directors and officers, insurance protection against certain liabilities arising out of the discharge of their duties, as well as insurance covering Mid Penn for indemnification payments made to its directors and officers for certain liabilities. The premiums for such insurance are paid by Mid Penn.
The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of Pennsylvania law and Mid Penn’s bylaws dealing with indemnification of directors and officers, and does not purport to be complete. The description of the bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the bylaws of Mid Penn.

Item 22. Undertakings.
(a)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”);
II-2


(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) , individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering
(b)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the registrant undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain information called for by the applicable registration from with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called by the other items of the applicable form.
(c)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(d)The undersigned hereby undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (b) preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment will be deemed a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(e)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-3


(f)The undersigned hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
(g)The undersigned hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.
