President's Statement

We are pleased to report a $265,000, or 43.7%, improvement in our net income available to common shareholders over the results we recorded in the first quarter of 2010. We accomplished this through asset growth of 9.7%, deposit growth of 11.8%, and net interest income growth of 10.7% during that time period.

We consider the first quarter of 2011 to be another step forward in our recovery from 2009. The recovery has been framed by a commitment to responsible growth in quality loans, relationship deposits, and net interest income, while maintaining a "mission critical only" spending policy. We remain cautiously optimistic that our plan is succeeding, and that the best is yet to come.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I announce today that Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. is declaring a cash dividend of $0.05 per share on our common stock based upon our results of operations for the first quarter of 2011, the results of which are summarized above. The dividend is payable May 23, 2011 to shareholders of record May 11, 2011.

Management considers subsequent events occurring after the balance sheet date for matters which may require adjustment to, or disclosure in, the consolidated financial statements.  The review period for subsequent events extends up to and including the filing date of a public company's consolidated financial statements when filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  Accordingly, the financial information in this announcement is subject to change.
