UNITY BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO THE MANNER OF HOLDING THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON APRIL 23, 2020

March 31, 2020 - Clinton, New Jersey - Unity Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ “UNTY”) announced today that due to the public health impact of the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19), to support the health and well-being of our partners and shareholders, and to ensure compliance with all governmental directives to avoid group meetings and encourage social distancing, that the manner of holding of the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders has been changed. The Annual Meeting will now be held on Thursday, April 23, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. (the same date and time as indicated in the Company’s original proxy statement). In addition, the Annual Meeting will now be held by electronic means only, in a virtual meeting format only. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting physically.

As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting previously made available, you are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting if you were a shareholder as of the close of business on March 2, 2020, the record date, or hold a legal proxy for the meeting provided by your bank, broker, or nominee. The Annual Meeting will be broadcast at
