Promptly following the consummation of the Merger, it is expected that Merger Sub will be dissolved and liquidated and Liberty National Bank (&#8220;Liberty Bank&#8221;), the banking subsidiary of Liberty, will merge with and into The Middlefield Banking Company (&#8220;Middlefield Bank&#8221;), the banking subsidiary of the Company (the &#8220;Bank Merger&#8221;).

Assuming shareholder approval of the amendments to the Company&#8217;s Code of Regulations, which will be presented at the Company shareholder meeting to approve the Merger, Mr.&#160;Zimmerly will be appointed President of the Company and Middlefield Bank at the Effective Time. The Merger Agreement provides that the Company shall appoint Mr.&#160;Zimmerly to the additional position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Middlefield Bank by January&#160;1, 2024, unless Middlefield&#8217;s Board of Directors expressly determines otherwise by affirmative vote of at least 80% of Middlefield&#8217;s directors exclusive of Ronald L.
