to as the Notes. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.75% per annum, from and including December 12, 2017, to but excluding December 15, 2022. From and including December 15, 2022 through maturity or earlier redemption, the interest rate
shall reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month LIBOR rate plus 254 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the current three-month LIBOR is less than zero, the
three-month LIBOR will be deemed to be zero. We will pay interest on the Notes on each June 15 and December 15, commencing on June 15, 2018 through December 15, 2022, and thereafter on each March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15. The Notes
will mature on December&nbsp;15, 2027. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, to the
extent that such approval is required, we may, at our option, beginning December 15, 2022 and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption (an &#147;Optional Redemption&#148;). Other than in the case of an Optional Redemption, subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board,
to the extent that such approval is required, the Notes will not be redeemable prior to maturity unless certain events occur as described under &#147;Description of Notes&#148; in this prospectus supplement. There is no sinking fund for the Notes.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes will be unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to the payment of our existing and future senior indebtedness, including
all of our general creditors, and they will be structurally subordinated to all of our subsidiaries&#146; existing and future indebtedness and other obligations, including the bank deposits of our subsidiary bank. In the event of our bankruptcy or
insolvency, the holders of the Notes will not be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Notes until all holders of senior indebtedness are paid in full. The Notes are obligations of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation only and are
not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, any of our subsidiaries, including our bank subsidiary, Peapack-Gladstone Bank (the &#147;Bank&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There is no public trading market for the Notes and we do not intend to list the Notes on any securities exchange or to have the Notes quoted
on a quotation system. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>An investment in the Notes is subject to certain risks. Before you decide to invest in the Notes, you should consider the risk factors
below relating to the offering as well as the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016, as may be supplemented by other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus
supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Please refer to &#147;Where You Can Find More Information&#148; in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus for discussions of these other filings. If any of the risks and uncertainties
actually occurs, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If this were to happen, our ability to pay principal and interest on the Notes, and the value of the Notes, could decline
significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The prospectus is qualified in its entirety by those risk factors. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks
Relating to Ownership of the Notes </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Our obligations under the Notes will be unsecured, subordinated to our existing and future
senior indebtedness and general creditors and rank equally to our existing subordinated debt. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our obligations under the Notes
will be unsecured, subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture and described under &#147;Description of the Notes&#148; in this prospectus supplement). This means that we may
not be permitted to make any payments of principal or interest on the Notes if we default on a payment obligation under any senior indebtedness. Our obligations under the Notes will also be subordinate and junior in right of payment to our and our
subsidiaries&#146; general creditors. In addition, the Notes will effectively be subordinated to all of the existing and future indebtedness, deposits and other liabilities of our current and future subsidiaries, including our principal subsidiary,
the Bank. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, we (at the holding company level) had (i)&nbsp;no indebtedness ranking senior to the Notes other
than liabilities of approximately $300,000 to general creditors and trade creditors, (ii)&nbsp;approximately $48.9 million of indebtedness in the form of subordinated notes due 2026 ranking equally with the Notes, and (iii)&nbsp;no indebtedness
ranking junior to the Notes. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, the Bank and our other subsidiaries had outstanding indebtedness, total deposits and other liabilities of $3.8 billion, excluding intercompany liabilities, all of which, except for our
subordinated notes due 2026 (which rank equally to the Notes), ranks structurally senior to the Notes. As adjusted to give effect to this offering and our anticipated use of the proceeds from this offering, as of September&nbsp;30, 2017, we (at the
holding company level), the Bank and our other subsidiaries had $3.8 billion of indebtedness (including deposit liabilities), on a consolidated basis. In the future, we may incur substantial other indebtedness, including senior indebtedness and
additional indebtedness ranking equally with the Notes. The Indenture governing the Notes does not contain any limitation on the amount of debt or other obligations ranking senior to or equally with the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes that we
may incur hereafter. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Due to the subordination of the Notes described in &#147;Description of the Notes &#151; Subordination of the
Notes&#148;, in the event of our insolvency, funds that we would otherwise use to pay to the holders of the Notes would be used to pay the holders of any senior debt outstanding at that time to the extent necessary to pay such senior indebtedness in
full. In addition, the holders of any senior indebtedness could restrict or prohibit us from making payments on the Notes. In the event of our insolvency, after paying holders of senior debt, holders of the Notes would share equally with holders of
our existing subordinated notes due 2026. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The Notes will be the obligations of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and not
obligations of the Bank or any of our other subsidiaries, and will be structurally subordinated to the debt and other liabilities of the Bank and our other subsidiaries, which will not guarantee the Notes. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because we are a holding company, our rights and the rights of our creditors, including the holders of the Notes, to participate in the assets

prior claims of the subsidiary&#146;s creditors unless we are ourselves a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary. Any loans that we make to the Bank would be subordinate in right
of payment to deposits and to other indebtedness of the Bank. Claims from creditors (other than us) against the subsidiaries may include long-term and medium-term debt and substantial obligations related to deposit liabilities, federal funds
purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, as well as liabilities to general creditors. The Notes are not obligations of, nor guaranteed by, the Bank or our other subsidiaries, and our subsidiaries have
no obligation to pay any amounts due on the Notes. The Indenture governing the Notes does not contain any limitation on the amount of debt or other obligations that the Bank or our other subsidiaries may incur hereafter. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We are a holding company and depend on our subsidiaries for payments of principal and interest; our ability to pay dividends is subject
to regulatory and supervisory limitations. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a separate and distinct legal entity from the Bank and our other subsidiaries.
Our principal source of funds to make payments on the Notes and our other securities is dividends and other distributions from the Bank. Our ability to receive dividends and other distributions from the Bank as a source of funds is contingent on a
number of factors, including the Bank&#146;s ability to meet applicable regulatory capital requirements and the Bank&#146;s profitability and earnings and strength of its balance sheet. As a New Jersey chartered commercial bank, the Bank is subject
to the restrictions on the payment of dividends contained in the New Jersey Banking Act of 1948, as amended (the &#147;Banking Act&#148;). Under the Banking Act, the Bank may pay dividends only out of retained earnings, and out of surplus to the
extent that surplus exceeds 50% of stated capital. Under the foregoing dividend restrictions, as of September&nbsp;30, 2017, the Bank could pay dividends totaling approximately $76 million to us without obtaining the approval of the New Jersey
Department of Banking and Insurance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Beginning in 2016, banks and bank holding companies are required to maintain a capital conservation
buffer on top of minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. When fully phased in on January&nbsp;1, 2019, the capital conservation buffer will be 2.5%. The current capital conservation buffer is 1.25%. Banking institutions which do not maintain capital in
excess of the capital conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and executive compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. Accordingly, if the Bank fails to maintain the applicable minimum capital ratios and
the capital conservation buffer, distributions to us (at the holding company level) may be prohibited or limited and we may not have funds to make principal and interest payments on the Notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, under the Financial Institutions Supervisory Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (&#147;FDIC&#148;) has the authority
to prohibit a state-chartered bank from engaging in conduct that, in the FDIC&#146;s opinion, constitutes an unsafe or unsound banking practice. Under certain circumstances, the FDIC could claim that the payment of a dividend or other distribution
to us by the Bank constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are also subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve
Bank (the &#147;FRB&#148;), which has issued a policy statement generally requiring bank holding companies to pay dividends only out of current operating earnings. The FRB policies require, among other things, that a bank holding company maintain a
minimum capital base and serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary bank. The FRB by supervisory letters has advised holding corporations that it has supervisory concerns when the level of dividends is too high and would seek to prevent
dividends if the dividend paid by the holding company exceeded its earnings. The FRB would most likely seek to prohibit any dividend payment that would reduce a holding company&#146;s capital below these minimum amounts. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Payment of principal on the Notes may be accelerated only in the case of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving us. There is no
automatic acceleration or right of acceleration in the case of default in the payment of interest on the Notes or in the performance of any of our other obligations under the Notes or the Indenture governing the Notes. </P>

unsecured debt, that ranks senior or equal to the Notes, or from repurchasing our securities. In addition, the Indenture does not contain any financial covenants that would require us to achieve or maintain any minimum financial results relating to
our financial position or results of operations. Our ability to recapitalize, incur additional debt and take a number of other actions that are not limited by the terms of the Notes could have the effect of diminishing our ability to make payments

Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the trading value of the Notes. Our credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential risks related to the market or other factors on the value of the Notes.
Furthermore, because your return on the Notes depends upon factors in addition to our ability to pay our obligations, an improvement in our credit ratings will not reduce the other investment risks related to the Notes. A credit rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be revised or withdrawn by the rating agency at any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The Notes are not

the Notes after the offering is completed, the underwriters may cease market-making at any time without notice. In addition, the liquidity of the trading market in the Notes and the market price quoted for the Notes may be adversely affected by
changes in the overall market for this type of security and by changes in our financial performance or prospects or in the prospects for companies in our industry generally. As a result, we cannot assure you that an active trading market will
develop or continue for the Notes. If an active trading market does not develop or is not maintained, the market price and liquidity of the Notes may be adversely affected. In that case you may not be able to sell your Notes at a particular time or
you may not be able to sell your Notes at a favorable price. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Holders of the Notes will have no rights against the publishers of

2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the &#147;FCA&#148;) announced that it will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021 (the &#147;FCA Announcement&#148;). It is not possible to predict the effect of the FCA
Announcement, any changes in the methods pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined and any other reforms to LIBOR that will be enacted in the U.K. and elsewhere, which may adversely affect the trading market for LIBOR-based securities,
including the Notes, or result in the phasing out of LIBOR as a reference rate for securities. In addition, any changes announced by the FCA, including the FCA Announcement, the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited or any other successor governance
or oversight body, or future changes adopted by such body in the method pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in the reported LIBOR rates. If that were to occur, the level of
interest payments on the Notes would be affected and, to the extent that the value of your Notes is affected by reported LIBOR rates, the value of the Notes may be affected. Further, if three-month LIBOR is not available on an interest determination
date for the Notes, the terms of the Notes may require that we use three-month LIBOR in effect with respect to the immediately preceding interest period for the Notes, which may result in different than expected interest payments and could affect
the value of the Notes. </P>

capacity, will act as securities depositary for the Notes. The Notes will be issued only as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (DTC&#146;s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an
authorized representative of DTC. A fully registered global note, representing the total aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued and sold, will be executed and deposited with DTC and will bear a legend disclosing the restrictions on exchanges
and registration of transfer referred to below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC, the world&#146;s largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized
under the New York Banking Law, a &#147;banking organization&#148; within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve Board System, a &#147;clearing corporation&#148; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial
Code, and a &#147;clearing agency&#148; registered pursuant to Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among participants of securities transactions in
deposited securities, such as transfers and pledges, through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants&#146; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include
securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation (&#147;DTCC&#148;). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of its direct participants and members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities Clearing
Corporation, MBS Clearing Corporation and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation, as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Access to the DTC system is also available to indirect participants, such as securities brokers and dealers, and banks and trust companies
that clear through or maintain custodial relationships with direct participants, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct or indirect participants in DTC, who will receive a credit for
the securities on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of each beneficial owner of securities will be recorded on the direct or indirect participants&#146; records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their
purchase. Beneficial owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participant through which the beneficial owner
entered into the transaction. Under a book-entry format, holders may experience some delay in their receipt of payments made with respect to the Notes, as such payments will be forwarded by the paying agent for the Notes to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., as
nominee for DTC. DTC will forward the payments to its participants, who will then forward them to indirect participants or holders. Beneficial owners of securities other than DTC or its nominees will not be recognized by the relevant registrar,
transfer agent, paying agent or trustee as registered holders of the Notes entitled to the benefits of the indenture. Beneficial owners that are not participants will be permitted to exercise their rights only indirectly through and according to the
procedures of participants and, if applicable, indirect participants. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all securities deposited by direct participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC&#146;s partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or
such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership of
those securities. DTC does not have, and is not anticipated to </P>

have, any knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the Notes, as DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the Notes are credited, which may or
may not be the beneficial owners. The direct and indirect participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Conveyance of redemption notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and
by direct and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If applicable, redemption notices shall be sent to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. If less than all of the Notes are being redeemed, DTC&#146;s practice
is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in such issue to be redeemed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC may discontinue providing
its services as securities depositary with respect to the Notes at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Company or its agent. Under these circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depositary is not obtained, certificates for the
Notes are required to be printed and delivered. We may decide to discontinue the use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depositary). In that event, certificated Notes to be exchanged for beneficial
interests in the global Notes will be authenticated and delivered to or at the direction of DTC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All payments of principal of, and
interest on, the Notes represented by the global note and all transfers and deliveries of such global note will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of the global note. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit its
direct participants&#146; accounts upon DTC&#146;s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Company or its agent, on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC&#146;s records. Payments by
participants to beneficial owners of the Notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices of those participants, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street
name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of that participant and not of DTC, the depositary, the Company, the trustee or any of their respective agents, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Payments of principal of, or interest on, the Notes to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) will be the responsibility of the Company or its agent, disbursement of such payments to
direct participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners of the Notes will be the responsibility of direct and indirect participants. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Ownership of beneficial interests in the global note will be limited to participants or persons that may hold beneficial interests through
institutions that have accounts with DTC or its nominee or through organizations that are participants or indirect participants in such system. The depositaries, in turn, will hold interests in the Notes in customers&#146; securities accounts in the
depositaries&#146; name on the books of DTC. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global note will be shown only on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee, with
respect to participants&#146; interests, or any participant, with respect to interests of persons held by the participant on their behalf. Payments, transfers, deliveries, exchanges, redemptions and other matters relating to beneficial interests in
the global note may be subject to various policies and procedures adopted by DTC from time to time. None of the Company, the trustee or any agent for any of them will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of DTC&#146;s or any direct or
indirect participant&#146;s records relating to, or for payments made on account of, beneficial interests in the global note, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC&#146;s records or any direct or indirect participant&#146;s records
relating to these beneficial ownership interests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because DTC can act only on behalf of direct participants, who in turn act only on
behalf of direct or indirect participants, and certain banks, trust companies and other persons approved by it, the ability of a beneficial owner of the Notes to pledge them to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system may be
limited due to the unavailability of physical certificates for the Notes. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a discussion of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the
Notes by U.S.&nbsp;Holders (as defined below) and Non-U.S.&nbsp;Holders (as defined below). This summary does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax considerations. This summary is based upon the United States Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, referred to herein as the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, referred to herein as the Regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations of the Code and the Regulations, all as of the date
hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. This discussion does not address U.S. federal tax reform bills currently under consideration in the United States Congress. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This summary is limited to the U.S. federal income tax consequences with respect to Notes that are purchased by an initial holder at their
issue price, which will equal the first price at which a substantial amount of the Notes is sold to the public (not including bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or
wholesalers), and that are held as capital assets within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This summary does not address the tax consequences to subsequent purchasers of the Notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We intend, and by acquiring any Notes each beneficial holder of a Note will agree, to treat the Notes as indebtedness for United States
federal income tax purposes, and this summary assumes such treatment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This summary does not purport to address all aspects of United
States federal income taxation that might be relevant to particular holders in light of their circumstances or status, nor does it address specific tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders (including, for example, banks or other
financial institutions, &#147;regulated investment companies,&#148; &#147;real estate investment trusts,&#148; broker-dealers, traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment, insurance companies, partnerships or other pass-through
entities, United States expatriates, tax-exempt organizations, U.S.&nbsp;Holders that have a functional currency other than the United States dollar, or persons who hold Notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion or other integrated financial
transaction). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, this summary does not address United States federal alternative minimum, estate and gift tax consequences or
consequences under the tax laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction. We have not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in this summary, and we
cannot assure you that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a partnership holds Notes, the tax treatment of a
partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner in a partnership holding Notes, you should consult your own tax advisor. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF THE NOTES&nbsp;ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS

Code, referred to herein as an ERISA Plan, and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan with its fiduciaries or other interested parties. In general, under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary
authority or control over the administration of such an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such an ERISA Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such an ERISA Plan, is generally considered
to be a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan. Plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section&nbsp;3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section&nbsp;3(33) of ERISA or Section&nbsp;4975(g)(3) of the Code) and non-U.S.&nbsp;plans (as

exemptions that substantially expanded the definition of who is a &#147;fiduciary&#148; under ERISA as a result of giving investment advice to a plan or its participants or beneficiaries. On June&nbsp;9, 2017, following a 60-day extension of the
final rule&#146;s applicability date, certain provisions of the final rule became applicable. The remaining provisions of the final rule were scheduled to be phased in by January&nbsp;1, 2018; however, the DOL has delayed such provisions until
July&nbsp;1, 2019. It is possible that the rule could be modified or superseded by the U.S. Congress or federal regulators prior to becoming fully applicable. In deciding whether to make an investment in the Notes, you should consider the impact and
timing of these new rules governing fiduciaries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In considering the acquisition, holding and, to the extent relevant, disposition of

unless such acquisition, holding and disposition will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code or similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws. </P>

purchaser and holder of Notes will be deemed to have represented and warranted that either, under ERISA or Similar Laws, (i)&nbsp;it is not a Plan, such as an IRA, and no portion of the assets used to acquire or hold the Notes, whether directly or
indirectly, constitutes assets of any Plan or (ii)&nbsp;the acquisition, holding and disposition of a Note satisfies the applicable fiduciary requirements of ERISA and will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section&nbsp;406 of
ERISA or Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code or similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws for which there is no applicable statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption. Any subsequent purchaser of such Notes will be required to make the
same representations concerning the use of plan assets to acquire or hold the Notes. <B><I> </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing discussion is general
in nature and is not intended to be all-inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons
considering purchasing Notes on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption
would be applicable to the purchase and holding of the Notes. The acquisition, holding and, to the extent relevant, disposition of Notes by or to any Plan is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such
an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by such Plans generally or any particular Plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for Plans generally or any particular Plan. </P>

advised us that they intend to make a market in the Notes. However, they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any market-making in the Notes at any time in their sole discretion and without prior notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you
that a liquid trading market for the Notes will develop or continue, that you will be able to sell your Notes at a particular time, or that the price that you receive when you sell will be favorable. If an active public trading market for the Notes
does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the Notes may be adversely affected. If the Notes are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar

supplement, which will be the fifth business day following the date of the pricing of the Notes (such settlement being referred to as &#147;T+5&#148;). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle
in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day before delivery hereunder should consult their advisors. </P>

agreed, for a period beginning on the date of the underwriting agreement and continuing to and including the closing date of the offering contemplated hereby, that we will not, without the prior written consent of the representatives of the
underwriters, directly or indirectly, issue, sell, offer or contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, any debt securities, including any guarantee of such securities, or any securities convertible into

transactions. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which may create a short position for the underwriters. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the Notes in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing, or
maintaining the price of the Notes. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the Notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover short positions. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This
occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the other underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representative has repurchased Notes sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or syndicate
covering transactions. Stabilizing transactions and syndicate covering transactions, and together with the imposition of a penalty bid, may cause the price of the Notes to be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of those transactions. If
the underwriters engage in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions, they may discontinue them at any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither we nor any of
the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the Notes. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any
representation that the underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice. </P>

Peapack&#146;s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders will depend on whether the Bank pays dividends to it. As a practical matter, restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends act as restrictions on the amount of funds available
for the payment of dividends by Peapack. As a New Jersey chartered commercial bank, the Bank is subject to the restrictions on the payment of dividends </P>

contained in the New Jersey Banking Act of 1948, as amended (the &#147;Banking Act&#148;). Under the Banking Act, the Bank may pay dividends only out of retained earnings, and out of surplus to
the extent that surplus exceeds 50% of stated capital. Under the Financial Institutions Supervisory Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (&#147;FDIC&#148;) has the authority to prohibit a state-chartered bank from engaging in conduct that,
in the FDIC&#146;s opinion, constitutes an unsafe or unsound banking practice. Under certain circumstances, the FDIC could claim that the payment of a dividend or other distribution by the Bank to Peapack constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice.
The Corporation is also subject to Federal Reserve Bank (&#147;FRB&#148;) policies, which may, in certain circumstances, limit its ability to pay dividends. The FRB policies require, among other things, that a bank holding company maintain a minimum
capital base and serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary bank. The FRB by supervisory letters has advised holding companies that it is has supervisory concerns when the level of dividends is too high and would seek to prevent dividends if
the dividends paid by the holding company exceeded its earnings. The FRB would most likely seek to prohibit any dividend payment that would reduce a holding company&#146;s capital below these minimum amounts. </P>

dependent on distributions and other payments of earnings and other funds by our subsidiaries to us. The payment of dividends and other distributions by our subsidiaries is contingent on their earnings and is subject to the requirements of federal
banking regulations and other restrictions. In addition, the debt securities will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of Peapack&#146;s subsidiaries, since any right of Peapack to receive any assets of its
subsidiaries upon their liquidation or reorganization, and the consequent right of the holders of the debt securities to participate in those assets, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary&#146;s creditors. If Peapack
itself is recognized as a creditor of that subsidiary, the claims of Peapack would still be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of that subsidiary and any indebtedness of that subsidiary senior to that held by Peapack. Claims from
creditors (other than us) on subsidiaries may include long-term and medium-term debt and substantial obligations related to deposit liabilities, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings.
Any capital loans that we make to Peapack-Gladstone Bank would be subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to other indebtedness of the banks. </P>

indirectly through an account at the investor&#146;s bank or brokerage firm. In that event, investors must consult their banks or brokers to find out how to have their interests in debt securities transferred to their own names so that they may
become direct holders. When a global security terminates, the depositary, and not us or one of the trustees, is responsible for deciding the names of the institutions that will be the initial direct holders. </P>

preferred stock represented by that depositary share, to the rights and preferences of the preferred stock, including dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights, if any. We will enter into a deposit agreement with a depositary,

by that holder&#146;s depositary shares. The depositary will vote the preferred stock represented by the depositary shares in accordance with these instructions, provided the depositary receives these instructions sufficiently in advance of the

fees, the holder will be entitled to receive the number of whole shares of the related series of preferred stock, and any money or other property, if any, represented by the holder&#146;s depositary shares. Once a holder exchanges depositary shares
for whole shares of preferred stock, that holder cannot <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;re-deposit&#148;</FONT> these shares of preferred stock with the depositary, or exchange them for depositary shares. If a holder delivers depositary

depositary will be liable only for gross negligence and willful misconduct in performing their duties under the deposit agreement. They will not be obligated to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal proceeding with respect to any depositary
receipts, depositary shares or preferred stock unless they receive what they, in their sole discretion, determine to be a satisfactory indemnity from one or more holders of the depositary shares. Peapack and the depositary will evaluate any proposed
indemnity in order to determine whether the financial protection afforded by the indemnity is sufficient to reduce each party&#146;s risk to a satisfactory and customary level. Peapack and the depositary may rely on the advice of legal counsel or
accountants of their choice. They may also rely on information provided by persons they believe, in good faith, to be competent, and on documents they believe, in good faith, to be genuine. </P>
