offices and total assets of approximately $222 million on June&nbsp;30, 2016. Under the agreement and subject to regulatory and stockholder approval, Liberty Bank will merge into our bank subsidiary, The Middlefield Banking Company. The total
transaction value is approximately $40.0 million, with merger consideration of $19.1 million cash and approximately 515,000 shares of Middlefield Banc Corp. common stock payable to Liberty Bank stockholders, a special dividend payable by Liberty
Bank before closing of approximately $3.0 million, and an additional approximately $1.1 million payable to holders of Liberty Bank&#146;s outstanding options. We own 23,218 shares of Liberty common stock, or 2.42% of its outstanding shares. Those
shares will be cancelled in the merger without consideration, but we will receive payment of the special dividend currently estimated to be $3.13 per share. Additional information about the proposed merger and a copy of the reorganization agreement

sale (provided the short sale is entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part). Selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers, which may in turn sell
the shares. Selling stockholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities requiring the delivery to the broker-dealer or other financial
institution of shares offered by this prospectus. As discussed below, any broker-dealers or agents deemed to be underwriters may not sell shares offered under this prospectus unless and until we disclose the names of the underwriters and the

could have an impact on the timing of purchases and sales of securities offered by this prospectus. Anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of securities in the market and to activities of selling
stockholders and affiliates of the selling stockholders. These restrictions could affect the marketability of securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities for securities. </P>

Act of 1933. The supplement will disclose (1)&nbsp;the name of the participating broker-dealer(s), (2)&nbsp;the number of shares involved, (3)&nbsp;the price at which shares were sold, (4)&nbsp;the commissions paid or discounts or concessions
allowed to the broker-dealer(s), if applicable, (5)&nbsp;that the broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (6)&nbsp;other facts material to the

to them in this prospectus as selling stockholders and for purposes of the tabular presentation we are assuming that they will sell all of the shares acquired in the private placement. Each selling stockholder has requested that all shares acquired

such generally must be held by the purchaser for at least six months before being resold. However, resales registered with the SEC may be carried out before six months elapse. We therefore agreed when we sold the shares in the private placement to
register the shares for resale by this prospectus. We did not agree to register for resale any other shares owned by any of the stockholders, and none of those other shares may be offered or sold by this prospectus. </P>
