BANK OF BIRD-IN-HAND ANNOUNCES NEW INTERCOURSE BRANCH

Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania (May 24, 2016) Alan W. Dakey, President and CEO of the Bank of Bird-in-Hand announced
today that the Bank has applied to the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities and the FDIC seeking approval for
a branch to be established at 3540 Old Philadelphia Pike, Leacock Township, Intercourse, PA. The full-service branch will
contain 1,664 square feet, plus 1,008 square feet of shared common area, two drive-up lanes, and an ATM. Mr. Dakey stated
that the location is a fully functioning branch with good visibility and strong growth potential. The new location will be the
Banks second branch, in addition to its first branch at 309 North Ronks Road which also serves as its corporate headquarters.
The new branch will offer a full array of deposit and loan services including courier services for business customers. The
branch will also provide additional office space to support the continued strong growth that the Bank has experienced since its
opening in December 2013. Subject to regulatory approval, the Bank plans to open the branch in August 2016.

Speaking on behalf of the Board of Directors, Kevin McClarigan, Chairman of the Board, stated that, This is an opportune
time to establish our new branch and it validates the confidence and trust that our Board of Directors and shareholders had in
establishing the Bank.

About the Bank of Bird-in-Hand:

The Bank of Bird-in-Hand, a de novo Bank, is one of only three banks that have opened in the United States since 2008. It
has grown to $120 million in assets as of December 31, 2015, its second full year of operation. Total assets increased by $47
million in 2015. As of March 31, 2016, the Bank had total assets of $127 million, total deposits of $110 million and total
gross loans of $113 million. The Bank has substantially exceeded its profit projections and balance sheet growth when
compared to its original business plan as a result of tremendous support from the local community.

On May 9, 2016, the Bank was notified by the FDIC that its de novo status would end November 27, 2016, as a result of

FDIC regulations shortening the de novo period for all de novo banks to three years, from the previous seven-year
requirement. This change will allow the Bank to follow a growth pattern fitting the market and its needs, as well as reduce
substantial reporting and regulatory requirements. The Bank anticipates moving forward with plans to raise additional capital
later this year to support the continuing growth of the Bank. Mr. Dakey commented that several bank mergers in the market
have created significant opportunities for the Bank. The Bank of Bird-in-Hands Intercourse branch will take advantage of
this opportunity to serve a market with unique needs that it knows well.

According to Dakey, the Bank of Bird-In-Hand, with local ownership, local focus and prompt local decision making, has a
strong competitive advantage over larger regional banks where decisions are made outside of the area. The Bank is small
enough to be flexible and responsive to our market, while still offering a full range of financial products and services.
