Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. Declares Cash Dividend and Approves Change of Stock Symbol

  
    
  
  
    
      The Board of Directors of Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (AMEX:MBP), parent 
      company of Mid Penn Bank, is pleased to announce the declaration of a 
      quarterly cash dividend of 20 cents per share, payable Monday, August 
      25, 2008, to shareholders of record Wednesday, August 6, 2008.
    
    
      The Board also approved changing the stock symbol of Mid Penn Bancorp, 
      Inc. from MBP to MPB effective with the opening of business August 1, 
      2008. Upon its initial listing with the American Stock Exchange in 1997, 
      the symbol MPB was not available, and an alternate symbol of MBP was 
      chosen. The MPB symbol has since become available, and the Board feels 
      the new symbol will be more easily recognized by the investment 
      community, shareholders, and the general public.
    
    
      Mid Penn Bank has been an independently owned community bank since 1868 
      and is committed to remaining a progressive, independent community bank 
      offering a full line of business, personal and trust services.
    
    
      Mid Penn Bancorp, through its subsidiary Mid Penn Bank, operates 15 
      offices in Dauphin, Northumberland, Schuylkill, and Cumberland Counties.
