MBP Mid Penn Bancorp,

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.
