<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;), Park National Corporation (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) hereby
requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;Commission&rdquo;) consent to the immediate withdrawal of the
Company&rsquo;s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-180121), together with all exhibits thereto (collectively, the
&ldquo;Registration Statement&rdquo;). The Registration Statement was filed with the Commission on March 15, 2012.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company requests withdrawal of the Registration
Statement because the Registration Statement was filed inadvertently using the EDGAR submission type S-3 rather than S-3ASR. The
Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission and none of the securities covered by the Registration
Statement have been sold.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Accordingly, the Company respectfully requests
that the Commission issue an order granting the withdrawal of the Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable.</P>

withdrawal of the Registration Statement to the Company&rsquo;s legal counsel, Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP at (614) 719-5186,
