proxy for use at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The annual meeting will be held on Wednesday, May&nbsp;14, 2014, at 1:00 p.m. local time, at SunValley Banquet&nbsp;&amp; Party Center, 10000 Edwards Lane, Aurora, Ohio, 44202. The
accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Proxy Statement are first being mailed to shareholders on or about April&nbsp;7, 2014. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">References
in this proxy statement to &#147;Middlefield,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; and &#147;our&#148; mean Middlefield Banc Corp. alone or Middlefield Banc Corp. and its subsidiaries, depending on the context. The subsidiaries of Middlefield Banc

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Purpose of the Meeting</B>. At the annual meeting we will ask Middlefield shareholders (1)&nbsp;to elect three directors to serve until the
2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualified, (2)&nbsp;to act on a non-binding, advisory proposal to approve the named executive officer compensation disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with SEC
rules, and (3)&nbsp;to ratify the appointment of Middlefield&#146;s independent auditor. The non-binding proposal for approval of executive compensation is commonly known as a say-on-pay proposal. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Voting Procedures</B><B><I>. </I></B>If you were a shareholder at the close of business on March&nbsp;24, 2014 you are entitled to vote at
the annual meeting. As of March&nbsp;24, 2014 there were 2,037,359 shares of Middlefield common stock issued and outstanding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The

shares by (1)&nbsp;the Internet or (2)&nbsp;completing, signing, dating, and returning the enclosed proxy as soon as possible in the postage paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in the name of a bank or broker, the availability of
Internet voting will depend on the voting processes of the bank or broker. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Proxies solicited hereby may be used at the annual meeting
only and will not be used for any other meeting. Proxies solicited by the board will be voted in accordance with the directions given. If no instructions are given, proxies will be voted in favor of the proposals set forth in this proxy statement.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Revocation of Proxies</B>. Shareholders who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them at any time before completion of the
annual meeting, but revocation will not affect a vote previously taken. If your common stock is held in street name, you must follow the instructions of your broker, bank, or other nominee to revoke your proxy instructions. If you are a holder of
record and wish to revoke your proxy instructions, you may revoke a proxy by &#150; </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Expense of Soliciting Proxies</B>. Middlefield will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. We
will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending proxy material to the beneficial owners of common stock. In addition to solicitations by mail, directors, officers,
and regular employees of Middlefield and its subsidiaries may solicit proxies personally or by telephone, but they will receive no additional compensation for doing so. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Quorum and Vote Required</B>. A quorum is necessary for the conduct of business at the annual meeting. When present in person or by proxy
at the annual meeting, the holders of a majority of the shares of Middlefield common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote will constitute a quorum. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held. Shareholders are not entitled to cumulate their votes in the election or removal of
directors or otherwise. Directors are elected by a plurality vote of shareholders present in person or by proxy and constituting a quorum, meaning the nominees receiving the greatest numbers of votes will be elected. We will consider the say-on-pay
proposal to be approved if the proposal receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. We will consider the proposal to ratify the appointment of S.R. Snodgrass, P.C. as independent auditor to be approved if the proposal receives the
affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes</B>. Abstention may be specified on all proposals
except the election of directors. A broker non-vote arises when shares held by a broker nominee for a beneficial owner/customer are not voted because the broker nominee does not receive voting instructions from the customer and lacks discretionary
authority to vote the shares without instructions. Brokers normally have authority to vote on routine matters, such as the ratification of independent registered public accounting firms, but not on non-routine matters, such as amendments of charter
documents, executive compensation proposals, and the election of directors. Our Regulations provide in Article I, section 7 that a majority of votes cast is sufficient to constitute the act of shareholders. Because abstentions and broker non-votes
are not counted as votes cast, they will have no impact on any of the proposals, although they will be counted for purposes of establishing that a quorum is present at the meeting. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Board Recommendations</B>. The board of directors recommends that you vote <B><I>FOR</I></B> election of the director nominees identified
in this proxy statement, <B><I>FOR</I></B> the say-on-pay proposal, and <B><I>FOR</I></B> ratification of the appointment of S.R. Snodgrass, P.C. as auditor. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>CORPORATE GOVERNANCE </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Director Independence</B>. A majority of Middlefield&#146;s directors are independent, as the term independence is defined in Rule
5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Stock Market listing rules and as defined by Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(ii) of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The board has determined that all of the current directors and director nominees other than Messrs. Caldwell and
Heslop are independent directors within the meaning of NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2) and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including all directors serving on the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, the Audit Committee, and the
Compensation Committee. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Leadership Structure of the Board</B>. The office of Chairman of the Board and the office of President and
Chief Executive Officer have traditionally been separate at Middlefield. Middlefield believes that separation of these two offices is consistent with the board&#146;s responsibility for oversight of management and of Middlefield&#146;s affairs
generally. The time, effort, and energy that the Chief Executive Officer and President is required to devote to that position, as well as the commitment required to serve as Chairman of the Board, make it impractical for one person to serve in both
roles. The board believes that an independent director serving as Middlefield&#146;s Chairman of the Board is the appropriate leadership structure at this time, demonstrating Middlefield&#146;s commitment to good corporate governance. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risk Oversight</B>. The board is actively involved in oversight of the risks that could affect
Middlefield. The board&#146;s oversight is conducted primarily through committees, but the full board retains responsibility for general oversight of risks. Board committees exercising oversight of risks include (1)&nbsp;an Audit Committee that
takes into account financial reporting and legal and compliance risks, (2)&nbsp;a Compensation Committee that is responsible for risks relating to Middlefield&#146;s employment policies and compensation and benefits systems, (3)&nbsp;a Corporate
Governance and Nominating Committee that oversees risks relating to management and board succession planning and Middlefield&#146;s ethics and business practices, and (4)&nbsp;other bank committees, such as the loan and asset/liability management
committees, that are responsible for exercising oversight of the risks associated with the business of banking. The board satisfies its risk oversight responsibility through full reports by each committee chair regarding the committee&#146;s
considerations and actions, as well as through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within Middlefield, The Middlefield Banking Company, and EMORECO, Inc. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Code of Ethics</B>. Our Code of Ethics requires that directors, executive officers, and employees avoid conflicts of interest, comply with
all laws and other legal requirements, conduct business in an honest and ethical manner, and otherwise act with integrity and in Middlefield&#146;s best interests. Directors, executive officers, and employees are required to report any conduct that
they believe in good faith to be an actual or apparent violation of the Code of Ethics. Middlefield&#146;s Code of Ethics includes a Code of Ethics for Financial Professionals, which applies to the principal executive officer, principal financial
officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or person performing similar functions. The goal of the Code of Ethics for Financial Professionals is to promote integrity in the preparation and reporting of financial information and to assure
full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in SEC reports and other public communications. The Code of Ethics is available at www.middlefieldbank.com. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Shareholder Communications</B>. A shareholder who wishes to communicate with the board or with individual directors concerning
Middlefield&#146;s financial statements, accounting practices, or internal controls should write to the chairman of the Audit Committee in care of Ms.&nbsp;Kathleen&nbsp;M. Johnson, Secretary, at Middlefield Banc Corp., 15985 East High Street, P.O.
Box 35, Middlefield, Ohio 44062. If the shareholder&#146;s concern relates to Middlefield&#146;s governance practices, business ethics, or corporate conduct, the concern should be submitted in writing to the chairman of the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee in care of Ms.&nbsp;Kathleen&nbsp;M. Johnson, Secretary, at the address above. Other concerns may be submitted to any of the independent directors in care of Ms.&nbsp;Kathleen&nbsp;M. Johnson at that address. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Board Meetings and Committees</B>. Middlefield&#146;s board held 12 meetings in 2013. The individuals who served in 2013 as directors of
Middlefield attended at least 75% of the sum of the total number of board meetings and the total number of meetings held by all committees on which he or she served. The board encourages directors to attend the annual meeting of shareholders. All
directors who served in 2013 attended the 2013 annual meeting. Directors serving on the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Audit Committee are &#150; </P>

experience, skills, the contributions that the director brings to the board, and independence. The committee&#146;s goal is to identify individuals who will enhance and add valuable perspective to the board&#146;s deliberations and who will assist
Middlefield in its effort to capitalize on business opportunities in a challenging and highly competitive market. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A copy of the Corporate

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The committee will consider director nominees recommended by shareholders. A shareholder may submit a nomination for director by following the
procedures specified in article III, section 4, of Middlefield&#146;s regulations. Among other things, these procedures require that the shareholder deliver to Middlefield&#146;s Secretary a written notice stating the name and age of each nominee,
the nominee&#146;s principal occupation, and the number of shares of Middlefield common stock the shareholder beneficially owns. The written consent of the nominee to serve as a director must also be provided by the shareholder making the
nomination. The information must be provided to the Secretary at least 60 days before the date corresponding to the date on which Middlefield&#146;s proxy materials were mailed to shareholders for the previous year&#146;s annual meeting, and no more
than 120 days before that date. A nomination made by a shareholder who does not comply with these procedures will be disregarded. </P>

executive officer as well as the executives&#146; award levels under the Annual Incentive Plan. The committee is also responsible for administration of other executive benefits and plans, including the 2007 Omnibus Equity Plan and the executive
deferred compensation agreements entered into by The Middlefield Banking Company. The Compensation Committee&#146;s decisions about compensation for named executive officers&#146; performance takes into account the views of Middlefield&#146;s Chief
Executive Officer. But for its review of the Chief Executive Officer&#146;s compensation, the Compensation Committee reviews reports submitted by each director. The Compensation Committee did not meet in 2013. A copy of the Compensation Committee

issues from compensation consultants. The committee sometimes engages consultants to conduct periodic comprehensive total compensation studies or to advise about compensation practices generally. The Compensation Committee retains the right to hire,
fire, and obtain advice and assistance from legal counsel or other experts or consultants, consistent with its charter. The Middlefield Banking Company board&#146;s compensation committee, which consists of Directors Hummel. Skidmore, Toth, and
Turk, hired Wipfli LLP, a CPA and consulting firm in Minneapolis, in late 2013 to review bank director and executive compensation, including salary and incentive compensation. </P>

fee estimate of the independent public auditor, appraises the effectiveness of the internal and external audit efforts, evaluates the adequacy and effectiveness of accounting policies and financial and accounting management, supervises the internal
auditor, and reviews and approves the annual financial statements. The Audit Committee has the authority to engage separate legal counsel and other advisors, as necessary, to execute its duties. The Audit Committee met five times in 2013. A copy of
the Audit Committee charter is available at www.middlefieldbank.com. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Middlefield believes that the directors serving on the Audit
Committee do not have a relationship with Middlefield or its subsidiaries that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as directors. The board believes that all members of the Audit Committee satisfy the current independence
requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and that each of Director Jones and Director Turk is an audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined in SEC rules. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Audit Committee Report</B>. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2013, and discussed the audited financial statements with management. The Audit Committee has also discussed with S.R. Snodgrass, P.C., Middlefield&#146;s independent auditor, the matters required to be discussed by PCAOB AU
Section&nbsp;380 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from S.R. Snodgrass, P.C. required by Independence Standards Board Standard No.&nbsp;1 (Independence Discussion with Audit
Committees), and discussed with S.R. Snodgrass, P.C. its independence. Based on this, the Audit Committee recommended to the board that the audited financial statements be included in Middlefield&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2013 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Submitted by the Audit Committee: </I></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Director Joseph J. Thomas did not become a director until February&nbsp;22, 2013. By the terms of the August&nbsp;15, 2011 Stock Purchase
Agreement that we entered into with Bank Opportunity Fund LLC, an affiliate of Eric D. Hovde, Mr.&nbsp;Hovde has the right to designate one person to serve as a director of Middlefield and The Middlefield Banking Company. Mr.&nbsp;Thomas is that
designee. Mr.&nbsp;Thomas was an observer at board meetings before his appointment as a director, and as required by the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement we reimbursed Mr.&nbsp;Thomas for his costs to attend as an observer. Additional
information concerning the sale of shares to Mr.&nbsp;Hovde and concerning his rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement and the related Amended and Restated Purchaser&#146;s Rights and Voting Agreement, each as amended, is included in or is
provided by cross-reference in Middlefield&#146;s Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2013, Part II, item 5, under the caption &#147;Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.&#148; We filed the Form 10-K

and Life Insurance</B>. Middlefield directors receive compensation of $750 for each board and committee meeting attended. Middlefield&#146;s Chairman of the Board receives additional annual compensation of $4,000. The Middlefield Banking Company
directors receive compensation of $1,800 per month less $100 for each meeting not attended in a particular month. The Middlefield Banking Company directors also receive $500 in committee fees for each meeting attended. Emerald Bank directors
received compensation of $300 for each board and committee meeting attended. Emerald Bank merged into The Middlefield Banking Company on January&nbsp;20, 2014. Directors of EMORECO, Inc. receive no compensation for board service. Former directors of
The Middlefield Banking Company are also entitled to life insurance benefits under a group-term life insurance program. Under the group-term life insurance program, a director&#146;s designated beneficiary could receive a death benefit ranging
between $10,000 and $30,000 after the director&#146;s death. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Director Retirement Agreements</B>. The Middlefield Banking Company
entered into director retirement agreements with its nonemployee directors in 2001, all of whom have since retired. The agreements provide directors with a retirement benefit that Middlefield considers modest, an annual benefit equal to 25% of the
average annual fees earned by the director in the three years before attaining normal retirement age. The benefit is payable for ten years, beginning at normal retirement age. The director retirement agreements of four of the retired directors also
provide that The Middlefield Banking Company must obtain and maintain health insurance coverage for the lifetime of the directors and their spouses if the coverage can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Director Indemnification</B>. At the 2001 annual meeting shareholders approved the form and use of indemnification agreements for
directors. The indemnification agreements allow directors to select the most favorable indemnification rights provided under (1)&nbsp;Middlefield&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Regulations in effect on the date of
the indemnification agreement or on the date expenses are incurred, (2)&nbsp;state law in effect on the date of the indemnification agreement or on the date expenses are incurred, (3)&nbsp;any liability insurance policy in effect when a claim is
made against the director or on the date expenses are incurred, and (4)&nbsp;any other indemnification arrangement otherwise available. The agreements cover all fees, expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, and settlement amounts paid in any matter
relating to the director&#146;s role as a Middlefield director, officer, employee, agent, or when serving as Middlefield&#146;s representative with respect to another entity. Each indemnification agreement provides for the prompt advancement of all
expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding subject to the director&#146;s obligation to repay those advances if it is determined later that the director is not entitled to indemnification. </P>

Governance Guidelines include stock ownership guidelines for directors. The guidelines state that within three years after being elected a director should own Middlefield common stock equal in value to at least two times the director&#146;s current
yearly base compensation for service as a director. As of December&nbsp;31, 2013, two times the projected annual yearly compensation of a director other than the Chairman of the Board is $43,200. Similarly, within three years after being elected to
the board of directors of The Middlefield Banking Company a director of the bank who is not also a director of Middlefield should own Middlefield common stock equal in value to at least two times his or her annual director compensation. </P>

ownership. Based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to Middlefield and written representations to Middlefield, to Middlefield&#146;s knowledge all section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers,
directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with during the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2013, except that Directors Hummel, Mast, and Toth have not filed a Form 3, in May of 2013 Director Joseph Thomas filed a Form 3

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Perquisites and other personal benefits provided to each of the named executive officers in 2013
and 2012 had a value of less than $10,000. The value of insurance on the lives of the named executive officers is not included in the Summary Compensation Table because the executives have no interest in the policies. However, the executives are
entitled to designate the beneficiary of death benefits payable by The Middlefield Banking Company under executive survivor income agreements. See the &#147;<I>Executive Survivor Income Agreements</I>&#148; discussion below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Annual Incentive Plan</B>. In 2003 The Middlefield Banking Company established the Annual Incentive Plan, a short-term cash incentive plan
that rewards employees with additional cash compensation if specific objectives are achieved. An employee&#146;s potential cash incentive payment under the Annual Incentive Plan depends upon two factors: (<I>x</I>)&nbsp;the employee&#146;s position,
which establishes a maximum cash incentive award as a percent of base salary, and (<I>y</I>)&nbsp;the degree to which the performance targets, such as targeted net income, and individual performance targets, are achieved. Annual incentive payments
under the plan for a particular year generally are based on objective financial performance criteria established by the board, with the Compensation Committee&#146;s recommendation. Revised in 2012, a copy of the plan is included as exhibit 10.22 to
the Form 8-K Current Report that we filed with the SEC on June&nbsp;22, 2012, which is available for viewing or download at www.sec.gov. All employees are eligible for awards under the Annual Incentive Plan. The plan is terminable by the board at
any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The bank-wide performance objectives that had to be achieved in 2013 in order for Messrs. Caldwell and Heslop to receive a cash
incentive payment under the plan included a net income goal and a goal for an improved ratio of adversely classified assets to the sum of tier 1 capital and the allowance for loan and lease losses. In Mr.&nbsp;Stacy&#146;s case, the classified-asset
ratio goal was replaced by a goal for an improved efficiency ratio, meaning non-interest expense divided by the sum of non-interest income and net interest income. In future years other financial performance measures could be taken into account,
such as return on average equity (ROAE), return on average assets (ROAA), loan growth, deposit growth, and net interest margin. The Compensation Committee also considers individual performance goals. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>2007 Omnibus Equity Plan</B>. The 2007 Omnibus Equity Plan authorizes the issuance of 160,000 shares of Middlefield common stock.
Middlefield&#146;s Compensation Committee administers the Omnibus Equity Plan. Shares of common stock issued under the Omnibus Equity Plan may be treasury shares, authorized and unissued shares not reserved for any other purpose, or a combination of
treasury shares and authorized but unissued shares. Awards to employees may take the form of incentive stock options, or <I>ISO</I>s, that qualify for favored tax treatment under Internal Revenue Code section 422, stock options that do not qualify
under section 422, referred to as <I>NQSO</I>s, stock appreciation rights, or <I>SAR</I>s, restricted stock, and performance shares. In contrast to the kinds of awards that may be made to employees, non-employee directors are eligible for awards of
NQSOs and restricted stock only. The terms of each award are stated in award agreements. Of the shares authorized for issuance under the Omnibus Equity Plan, up to one half may be reserved for issuance under incentive stock options. The aggregate
number of shares underlying awards granted to an individual participant in a single year may not exceed 16,000. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless the
participant&#146;s award agreement provides otherwise, when a participant employee&#146;s service terminates or when a non-employee director participant&#146;s service terminates the portion of any award held by the participant that is not
exercisable is forfeited. All NQSOs, SARs, and ISOs held by the participant that are exercisable are forfeited if not exercised before the earlier of the expiration date specified in the award agreement or 90 days after termination occurs. However,
all of a participant&#146;s outstanding awards are forfeited if the participant&#146;s employment or director service terminates for cause or if in Middlefield&#146;s judgment a basis for termination for cause exists, regardless of whether the
awards are exercisable and regardless of whether the participant&#146;s employment or director service actually terminates. However, shares of restricted stock or performance shares that have been released from escrow and distributed to the
participant are not affected by a termination for cause. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a change in control of Middlefield occurs, the Compensation Committee has

with Messrs. Caldwell, Heslop, and Stacy on December&nbsp;28, 2006. Amended on March&nbsp;8, 2008 for compliance with Internal Revenue Code section 409A, the executive deferred compensation agreements provide supplemental retirement income benefits.
The arrangement is noncontributory, meaning contributions can be made solely by The Middlefield Banking Company. For each year the executive remains employed with The Middlefield Banking Company, until attaining age 65, The Middlefield Banking
Company may credit each executive with a contribution equal to 5% of the executive&#146;s base annual salary. Contributions exceeding 5% of salary are conditional on achievement of performance goals: (<I>x</I>)&nbsp;The Middlefield Banking
Company&#146;s net income for the plan year and (<I>y</I>)&nbsp;The Middlefield Banking Company&#146;s peer ranking for the plan year, based on the Uniform Bank Performance Report available on the Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council&#146;s website at www.ffiec.gov/UBPR.htm. The UBPR is an analytical tool created for bank supervisory, examination, and management purposes. In a concise format, the UPBR shows the impact of management decisions and economic conditions on a
bank&#146;s performance and balance-sheet composition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each of the two performance goals can account for a contribution of up to 7.5% of
the executive&#146;s base annual salary. The net income goal for each year is established by the Compensation Committee by March&nbsp;31 of that year. The Compensation Committee&#146;s decisions are not final unless approved by a majority of
Middlefield&#146;s independent directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Executive Survivor Income Agreements.</B> The Middlefield Banking Company entered into
executive survivor income agreements with executives in June 2003, including Messrs. Caldwell, Heslop, and Stacy. The agreements promise a specific cash benefit payable by The Middlefield Banking Company to an executive&#146;s designated beneficiary
at the executive&#146;s death, provided the executive dies before attaining age 85. The benefit would be paid to the executive&#146;s beneficiary if the executive dies in active service to The Middlefield Banking Company, but it also would be
payable for death occurring after the executive&#146;s termination of service if the executive terminated (<I>x</I>)&nbsp;because of disability, or (<I>y</I>)&nbsp;within 12 months after a change in control of Middlefield, or (<I>z</I>)&nbsp;after
having attained age 55 with at least ten years of service to The Middlefield Banking Company or after having attained age 65. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The total
death benefit payable to Mr.&nbsp;Caldwell&#146;s beneficiaries if he dies in active service to The Middlefield Banking Company is $471,741, the benefit payable to Mr.&nbsp;Heslop&#146;s beneficiaries is $368,970, and the benefit payable to
Mr.&nbsp;Stacy&#146;s beneficiaries is $222,619. For death after terminating active service with The Middlefield Banking Company, the death benefit for Mr.&nbsp;Caldwell&#146;s beneficiaries is $471,741, $368,970 for Mr.&nbsp;Heslop&#146;s
beneficiaries, and $111,309 for Mr.&nbsp;Stacy&#146;s beneficiaries. To assure itself of funds sufficient to pay the promised death benefits, The Middlefield Banking Company purchased insurance on the executives&#146; lives with a single premium
payment. The Middlefield Banking Company owns the policies and is the sole beneficiary. Of the total premium paid for the insurance on the various executives&#146; lives, $495,873 is attributable to insurance purchased on the life of
Mr.&nbsp;Caldwell, $447,351 is attributable to insurance on the life of Mr.&nbsp;Heslop, and $333,890 is attributable to insurance purchased on the life of Mr.&nbsp;Stacy. The premium amounts are not included in the Summary Compensation Table. The
Middlefield Banking Company expects the policies&#146; death benefits to be sufficient to pay all benefits promised under the executive survivor income agreements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Severance Agreements</B>. Middlefield and its subsidiaries do not have written employment agreements with officers, although Middlefield
entered into severance agreements with six executives on January&nbsp;7, 2008, including Messrs. Caldwell, Heslop, and Stacy. The severance agreements provide that the executive is entitled to severance

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">
compensation if a change in control occurs during the term of the agreement. The severance compensation is payable in a single lump sum. For purposes of the severance agreements, the term change
in control is defined as it is defined in Internal Revenue Code section 409A and implementing rules. In the case of executives other than Messrs. Caldwell, Heslop, and Stacy, the lump-sum severance benefit is payable immediately after involuntary
termination without cause or voluntary termination with good reason occurring within 24 months after a change in control. Rather than being contingent on a separation from service after a change in control, the lump-sum benefit of Messrs. Caldwell,
Heslop, and Stacy is payable immediately after a change in control occurs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The agreements promise to each executive a lump-sum payment
calculated as a multiple of the executive&#146;s salary and the executive&#146;s cash bonus and cash incentive compensation. The multiple of compensation payable under the severance agreements is 2.5 times in the case of Mr.&nbsp;Caldwell and
Mr.&nbsp;Heslop and two times compensation for all other executives. The agreements also promise continued life, health, and disability insurance coverage for 24 months after employment termination and legal fee reimbursement of up to $500,000 for
Messrs. Caldwell and Heslop and $300,000 for the other four executives if the severance agreements are challenged after a change in control. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Retirement Plan</B>. Middlefield does not maintain a defined benefit or actuarial plan providing retirement benefits for officers or
employees based on actual or average final compensation. But The Middlefield Banking Company maintains a section 401(k) employee savings and investment plan for substantially all employees and officers who have more than one year of service. The
bank&#146;s contribution to the plan is based on 50% matching of voluntary contributions, up to 6% of compensation. An eligible employee may contribute up to 15% of his or her salary. Employee contributions are vested at all times. Bank
contributions are fully vested after six years, vesting in 20% annual increments beginning with the second year. Employees also have life insurance benefits under a group term life insurance program, paying benefits to an employee&#146;s beneficiary
if the employee dies while employed by The Middlefield Banking Company, up to the lesser of (<I>x</I>)&nbsp;twice the employee&#146;s annual salary at the time of death or (<I>y</I>)&nbsp;$140,000. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Internal Revenue Code Limits.</B> The qualifying compensation regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service under Internal Revenue
Code section 162(m) state that no deduction is allowed for applicable employee remuneration paid by a publicly held corporation to a covered employee to the extent that the remuneration exceeds $1 million for the applicable taxable year, unless
specified conditions are satisfied. Salary and bonus amounts deferred by executives are not subject to section 162(m). Currently, Middlefield&#146;s remuneration is not expected to exceed $1 million for any employee. Therefore, Middlefield does not
expect that compensation will be affected by the qualifying compensation regulations. The Compensation Committee and Middlefield&#146;s board intend to maintain executive compensation within the section 162(m) deductibility limits, but could permit
compensation exceeding the section 162(m) limits in the future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Transactions with Related Parties</B>. Middlefield directors and
executive officers and their associates are customers of and enter into banking transactions with The Middlefield Banking Company in the ordinary course of business. Middlefield expects that these relationships and transactions will continue. The
transactions with directors, executive officers, and their associates have not involved more than the normal risk of collectability and have not presented other unfavorable features. Loans and commitments to lend included in these transactions were
made and will be made on substantially the same terms &#150; including interest rates and collateral &#150; as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not affiliated with Middlefield. </P>

vote on the compensation of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. Commonly known as a say-on-pay vote, the shareholder vote required by section 14A is an advisory vote, which means that the vote is not binding on us, on our
board of directors, or on the Compensation Committee. The say-on-pay vote is intended to be a vote on the executive officer compensation that is disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The goals of our compensation arrangements are to provide fair and competitive compensation, to provide compensation that
promotes the hiring and retention of the most talented personnel, to create incentives for and to reward superior performance, and to align the interests of our officers and employees with the interests of shareholders. We seek to avoid creating
incentives for unnecessary or excessive risk-taking, creating incentives for excessive focus on stock price performance instead of fundamental business values, creating incentives to seek short-term benefits at the expense of long-term results, and
creating incentives to achieve short-term benefits with long-term risks. With the assistance of the Compensation Committee, the board believes that Middlefield has created compensation arrangements that successfully avoid creating these adverse
