<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left">GALLIPOLIS, Ohio&#160; &#8211; Ohio Valley Banc Corp. [Nasdaq: OVBC] is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000<font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif">&#174;</font> Index at the conclusion of the Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the US market opens today, June 26.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left">&#160;</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Annual reconstitution of Russell's U.S. indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization.&#160; Membership in the US all-cap Russell 3000&#174; Index, which remains in place for one year, means Ohio Valley Banc Corp. is also included in the small-cap Russell 2000&#174; Index as well as appropriate growth and value style indexes.&#160; Russell determines membership for its indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">&#160;</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies.&#160; Approximately $8.4 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell's US indexes. The annual Russell reconstitution is usually one of the most highly-anticipated and heaviest trading days in the U.S. equity market, as asset managers seek to reconfigure their portfolios to reflect the composition of Russell's indexes.&#160; As such, the trading in Ohio Valley Banc Corp.'s shares has been volatile and heavy as many of these shares were purchased by or for Russell Index mutual funds, which are required to own the shares of the newly added companies when the Index is reconstituted.</div>
