Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement and Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

In connection with the completion of the acquisition (the “Merger”) of Phoenix Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Phoenix”) by Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Corporation” or “Mid Penn”), pursuant to that certain previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 27, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), Mid Penn entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated March 1, 2015 (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), with Phoenix and the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury Department”) whereby Mid Penn assumed, among other things, the obligations of Phoenix’s outstanding Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Phoenix Preferred Stock”) that was previously issued to the Treasury Department pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2011, by and between the Treasury Department and Phoenix.

In connection therewith, Mid Penn issued 1,750 shares of its Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, having a $1,000 liquidation preference per share (the “Mid Penn Preferred Stock”), to the Treasury Department. The Mid Penn Preferred Stock qualify as Tier 1 Capital.

The terms of the Mid Penn Preferred Stock impose limits on the ability of Mid Penn to pay dividends and repurchase shares of its common stock. Under the terms of the Mid Penn Preferred Stock, no repurchases may be effected, and no dividends may be declared or paid on preferred shares ranking pari passu with the Mid Penn Preferred Stock (such as Mid Penn’s 7% Non-Cumulative, Non-Voting, Non-Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B), junior preferred shares, or other junior securities (including the common stock) during the current quarter and for the next three quarters following the failure to declare and pay dividends on the Mid Penn Preferred Stock, except that, in any such quarter in which the dividend is paid, dividend payments on shares ranking pari passu may be paid to the extent necessary to avoid any resulting material covenant breach.

Under the terms of the Mid Penn Preferred Stock, Mid Penn may only declare and pay a dividend on its common stock or other stock junior to the Mid Penn Preferred Stock, or repurchase shares of any such class or series of stock, if, after payment of such dividend, the dollar amount of Mid Penn’s Tier 1 Capital would be at least $9.7 million, excluding any subsequent net charge-offs and any redemption of the Mid Penn Preferred Stock.

Dividends are payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year. The dividend rate on the Mid Penn Preferred Stock will remain fixed at 1% until January 2016, when it will increase to 9%.

The foregoing summary of the Mid Penn Preferred Stock is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designation of Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (the “Certificate of Designation”), which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The foregoing exchange of the Mid Penn Preferred Stock was made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, set forth in Section 4(a)(2) thereof, relative to sales by an issuer not involving a public offering, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the related Securities Purchase Agreement are attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Holders of contingent rights issued by Phoenix received approximately 0.414 shares of Mid Penn common stock as settlement of such rights. As a result, Mid Penn issued approximately 724,000 shares of Mid Penn common stock and cash of approximately $2.9 million.
