ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 23, 2022, Emclaire Financial Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation (‘Emclaire”), Farmers National Banc Corp., an Ohio corporation (“Farmers”) and FMNB Merger Subsidiary V, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Farmers (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Emclaire will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub as the surviving entity in the Merger. Promptly following the consummation of the Merger, it is expected that Merger Sub will be dissolved and liquidated and The Farmers National Bank of Emlenton, the national banking subsidiary of Emclaire (“Emlenton Bank”), will merge with and into The Farmers National Bank of Canfield, the national banking subsidiary of Farmers (“Farmers Bank”) (the “Bank Merger”). Farmers Bank will be the surviving bank in the Bank Merger (the “Surviving Bank”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each common share, par value $1.25 per share, of Emclaire (“Emclaire Common Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for certain Emclaire Common Shares held directly by Emclaire or Farmers (collectively, the “Excluded Emclaire Common Shares”)) will be converted into the right to receive, without interest, $40.00 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) or 2.15 common shares, without par value, of Farmers (“Farmers Common Shares”) (the “Exchange Ratio” and with the Cash Consideration, collectively, the “Merger Consideration”), provided, however, that the Merger Consideration is subject to the provisions of the Merger Agreement limiting the total Farmers Common Shares to be provided for converted Emclaire Common Shares to the product of 0.70 and the number of Emclaire Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, excluding the Excluded Emclaire Common Shares. All other Emclaire Common Shares eligible to receive the Cash Consideration shall be converted into the Cash Consideration. No fractional Farmers Common Shares will be issued in the Merger, and Emclaire’s shareholders will be entitled to receive cash in lieu of such fractional Farmers Common Shares.

Immediately preceding the Effective Time, each outstanding share granted pursuant to a share award agreement issued prior to date of the Merger Agreement in accordance with Emclaire’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan or 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (each, an “Emclaire Restricted Share”) shall be fully earned and vested and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for each Emclaire Common Share underlying an Emclaire Restricted Share, net of any shares redeemed as payment for withholding taxes.

The Merger Agreement provides that Farmers shall offer employment, effective immediately after the Effective Time, to William C. Marsh, the current President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Emclaire and Emlenton Bank, as Senior Vice President of Farmers and Market President, Pennsylvania, of the Surviving Bank.

In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that Farmers shall take such action necessary to, effective immediately following the Effective Time, increase the number of directors of Farmers’ board of directors by one and appoint one person who serves as a non-employee director of Emclaire immediately prior to the Effective Time as a Class II director of Farmers with a term expiring at the 2024 annual meeting of Farmers’ shareholders.

2

The Merger Agreement contains customary (a) representations and warranties of Emclaire, Farmers and Merger Sub, including, among others, with respect to corporate organization, capitalization, corporate authority, third party and governmental consents and approvals, financial statements and compliance with applicable laws, (b) covenants of Emclaire and Farmers to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course until the Effective Time and (c) covenants of Emclaire and Farmers not to take certain actions prior to the Effective Time. Emclaire also has agreed that neither it nor its representatives will (i) solicit proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions or, (ii) subject to certain exceptions, enter into discussions concerning, or furnish information in connection with, any proposals for alternative business combination transactions, or approve, endorse or recommend, or take other actions relating to, an alternative business combination transaction.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others: (a) the approval of the Merger by the shareholders of Emclaire; (b) the approval for listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market, subject to official notice of issuance, of the Farmers Common Shares to be issued in the Merger; (c) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “S-4”) to be filed by Farmers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register the Farmers Common Shares to be issued to the shareholders of Emclaire in the Merger; (d) the absence of any injunctions or other legal restraints preventing or rendering illegal the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (e) the receipt of regulatory and other governmental approvals required to consummate the Merger and the Bank Merger and the expiration of applicable waiting periods; (f) the accuracy of specified representations and warranties of each party; (g) the receipt by each party of an opinion from its legal counsel to the effect that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and (h) the agreement of Mr. Marsh to serve as Senior Vice President of Farmers and Market President, Pennsylvania, of the Surviving Bank, as of immediately following the Effective Time. Subject to these conditions and the other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Merger is expected to close in the second half of 2022. Farmers has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the Form S-4 with the SEC within 60 days of the date of the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for each of Emclaire and Farmers, as the case may be, applicable upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events, including: (a) the mutual written consent of Farmers and Emclaire authorized by the boards of directors of Farmers and Emclaire; (b) a final, non-appealable denial of required regulatory approvals; (c) the Merger has not been completed on or before January 31, 2023, (d) a breach by the other party that is not or cannot be cured within 30 days if such breach would result in a failure of the conditions to closing set forth in the Merger Agreement; (e) the failure of the board of directors of Emclaire to recommend the Merger to its shareholders or a change in the recommendation by the board of directors of Emclaire; (f) a material breach of certain of Farmers’ covenants; (g) the recommendation by the board of directors of Emclaire to Emclaire’s shareholders to tender (or the failure to recommend rejection of a tender or exchange offer) Emclaire Common Shares in certain tender or exchange offers; or (h) the failure of the shareholders of Emclaire to approve the Merger by the requisite vote.

3

Emclaire also has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement if both of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the average closing price of Farmers’ common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the tenth calendar day immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger is less than 80% of the starting price, as defined, and (ii) a specified ratio of the sales prices of Farmers’ common stock is less than a specified index ratio of stocks of a bank peer group, unless Farmers elects to make an adjustment to the Exchange Ratio. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain conditions, Emclaire has agreed to pay to Farmers a termination fee of $3,750,000.00.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the directors and certain executive officers of Emclaire have entered into substantially identical voting agreements with Farmers pursuant to which such directors and executive officers have agreed, among other things, to vote their respective Emclaire Common Shares in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The form of voting agreement is included as Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to this report in order to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other information about Farmers, Emclaire or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The covenants, representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and, in the case of representations and warranties, as of specific dates, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what a shareholder might view as material, may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts, may have been qualified by or subject to certain disclosures and exceptions not reflected in the Merger Agreement and generally were for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties or covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Farmers, Emclaire or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by Farmers or Emclaire.

Important Additional Information About the Merger.

In connection with the Merger, Farmers will file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 that will include a proxy statement of Emclaire and a prospectus of Farmers, as well as other relevant documents concerning the proposed transaction. The Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but should be read in conjunction with the other information regarding Farmers, Emclaire, the Merger Agreement and the Merger that will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement on Form S-4.

Poulsen, Secretary.

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful before registration or qualification of the securities under the securities laws of the jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.

Safe Harbor Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact, but rather statements based on Emclaire’s current expectations, beliefs and assumptions regarding the future of Emclaire’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, its intended results and future performance, the economy and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan” “project,” or variations of these words, or similar expressions.

5

Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and actual future results could differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of Emclaire’s control. Numerous uncertainties, risks, and changes could cause or contribute to Emclaire’s actual results, performance, and achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause or contribute to these differences include, without limitation, the possibility that the closing of the proposed transaction is delayed or does not occur at all because required regulatory approvals, shareholder approval or other conditions to the transaction are not obtained or satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the transaction are not realized when expected or at all; Farmers’ failure to integrate Emclaire and Emlenton Bank in accordance with expectations; deviations from performance expectations related to Emclaire and Emlenton Bank; diversion of management’s attention on the proposed transaction; general economic conditions in markets where Emclaire conducts business, which could materially impact credit quality trends; effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the local, national, and international economy, Emclaire’s organization and employees, and Emclaire’s customers and suppliers and their business operations and financial condition, including Emclaire’s customers’ ability to repay loans; disruptions in the mortgage and lending markets and significant or unexpected fluctuations in interest rates related to COVID-19 and governmental responses, including financial stimulus packages; general business conditions in the banking industry; the regulatory environment; general fluctuations in interest rates; demand for loans in the market areas where Emclaire conducts business; rapidly changing technology and evolving banking industry standards; competitive factors, including increased competition with regional and national financial institutions; and new service and product offerings by competitors and price pressures; and other factors disclosed periodically in Emclaire’s filings with the SEC including Emclaire’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Such reports are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and may be obtained without charge from Emclaire by written request to Emclaire Financial Corp., 612 Main Street, Emlenton, Pennsylvania 16373, Attention: Jennifer A. Poulsen, Secretary.

Because of the risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them, whether included in this report or made elsewhere from time to time by Emclaire or on Emclaire’s behalf. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and Emclaire assumes no duty and does not undertake to update forward-looking statements.

ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e)    On March 23, 2022, in connection with the Merger Agreement, the board of directors of Emclaire and/or Emlenton Bank approved and entered into the following:

(i) Settlement Agreements among Emclaire, Emlenton Bank and each of William C. Marsh, President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert A. Vernick, Senior Vice President and Chief Lending Officer and Eric Gantz, Senior Vice President and Chief Credit Officer (the “Settlement Agreements”);

(ii) Second Amendment to the Emlenton Bank Group Term Carve-Out Plan (the “Carve-Out Plan Amendment”);

(iii) Second Amendment to the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Agreement between Emlenton Bank and Amanda Engles (the “Engles SERP Amendment”); and

(iv) First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreement between Emclaire, Emlenton Bank and Amanda Engles (the “Engles CIC Amendment”).

The Settlement Agreements provide that on the business day immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, the executive’s prior respective employment or change in control agreement will be cancelled in exchange for a lump sum cash payment on the business day prior to the closing of the Merger. The Settlement Agreements also provide that the executive will execute a general release of claims against Emclaire and Emlenton Bank, with certain exceptions, at the time of the settlement payment.

The Carve-Out Plan Amendment eliminated a lifetime benefit following a change in control under the plan. The Engles CIC Amendment provided that Ms. Engles will be subject to non-competition and solicitation provisions, and the Engles SERP Amendment deleted the non-competition and solicitation provisions contained therein.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreements, the Carve-Out Plan Amendment, the Engles SERP Amendment and the Engles CIC Amendment, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

RECITALS

The Boards of Directors of Company and Purchaser have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and their shareholders to consummate the strategic business combination transaction provided for in this Agreement in which Company will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub as the surviving entity in the Merger (sometimes referred to herein in such capacity as the “Surviving Company”).

B. The parties intend for the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and for this Agreement to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

C. The parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the Ohio Revised Limited Liability Company Act (the “LLC Act”) and the Pennsylvania Entity Transactions Law (“PAETL”), at the Effective Time, Company shall merge with and into Merger Sub. Merger Sub shall be the Surviving Company in the Merger and shall continue its existence under the laws of the State of Ohio. As of the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Company shall cease.

(b) Purchaser may at any time prior to the Effective Time change the method of effecting the combination of Company and Purchaser, including by providing for the merger of Company with and into Purchaser; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration provided for in this Agreement, (ii) adversely affect the tax consequences of the Merger to shareholders of Company or the tax treatment of either party pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) materially impede or delay the receipt of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals or other consents and approvals required for consummation of the Merger or otherwise materially delay or impede consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) require Company to mail a revised Proxy

Statement if such change is made prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, or require further approval of Company’s shareholders if such change is made after obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, or (v) cause any of Company’s representations and warranties contained in Article III to be deemed inaccurate or breached by reason of such change of method.

1.2 Effective Time. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be filed a statement of merger (the “Statement of Merger”), as provided under the PAETL with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Department”), and a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”), as provided under the LLC Act, with the Ohio Secretary of State (the “Ohio Secretary of State”). The Merger shall become effective as of the date and time specified in the Statement of Merger and the Certificate of Merger or at such other date and time as shall be provided by applicable law (such date and time, the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 1706.713 of the LLC Act and Section 336 of the PAETL.

1.4 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Purchaser, Merger Sub, Company or the holder of any of the following securities:

(a) All common shares, $1.25 par value, of Company (“Company Common Shares”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are owned directly by (i) Company (other than (x) Company Common Shares held in trust accounts, managed accounts, mutual funds and the like, or otherwise held in a fiduciary or agency capacity, that are beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) by third parties (any such shares, “Trust Account Shares”), and (y) Company Common Shares held, directly or indirectly, by Company in respect of a debt previously contracted (any such shares “DPC Shares”)), or (ii) Purchaser or any of its affiliates, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no Merger Consideration and/or cash in lieu of fractional shares shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) All shares of Series C, Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock and Series D Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock of Company (collectively, “Company Preferred Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be redeemed by Company and no Merger Consideration and/or cash in lieu of fractional shares shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Subject to Sections 1.4(a), (d), (e), (f), and (g), each Company Common Share, but excluding Company Common Shares owned directly by Company (other than Trust Account Shares and DPC Shares) or Purchaser, shall be converted, at the election of the holder thereof in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article II, into the right to receive the following, without interest (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”):

(i) For each Company Common Share with respect to which an Election to receive cash has been effectively made and not revoked or lost pursuant to

-2-

Section 2.3 or 2.4 (a “Cash Election”), $40.00 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) (such shares collectively, “Cash Election Shares”); or

(ii) For each Company Common Share with respect to which an Election to receive stock has been effectively made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.4(a “Stock Election”), 2.15 (the “Exchange Ratio”) common shares, without par value, of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Common Shares”) (the “Stock Consideration” ) (such shares collectively, “Stock Election Shares”); or

(iii) for each Company Common Share other than shares as to which a Cash Election or a Stock Election has been effectively made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.4 (collectively, the “Non-Election Shares”), the right to receive from Purchaser such Cash Consideration or Stock Consideration as is determined in accordance with Section 1.4(f).

(d) All of the Company Common Shares converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article I shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate previously representing any such Company Common Share (each, a “Certificate”) and each non-certificated Company Common Share represented by book-entry (a “Book-Entry Share”) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration and/or cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the Company Common Shares represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to this Section 1.4 and Section 2.3(h), as well as any dividends to which holders of Company Common Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.3(j).

(e) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Purchaser Common Shares or Company Common Shares shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio and the Cash Consideration, as applicable.

(f)

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the total number of Company Common Shares to be converted into Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 1.4(c) (the “Stock Conversion Number”) shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Company Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including Common Shares received or to be received for vested, fully earned Company Restricted Shares and excluding Company Common Shares owned directly by Company (other than Trust Account Shares and DPC Shares) or Purchaser), by (y) .70. All of the other Company Common Shares (excluding Company Common Shares owned directly by Company (other than Trust Account Shares or DPC Shares) or Purchaser) shall be converted into Cash Consideration.

(ii) Within five business days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among holders of Company Common

-3-

Shares of rights to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration as follows:

(1) If the aggregate number of Company Common Shares with respect to which Stock Elections shall have been made (the “Stock Election Number”) exceeds the Stock Conversion Number, then all Cash Election Shares and all Non-Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and Stock Election Shares of each holder thereof will be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Stock Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stock Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Stock Election Number, with the remaining number of such holder’s Stock Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; and

(2) If the Stock Election Number is less than the Stock Conversion Number (the amount by which the Stock Conversion Number exceeds the Stock Election Number being referred to herein as the “Shortfall Number”), then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and the Non-Election Shares and Cash Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner:

(A) If the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and the Non-Election Shares of each holder thereof shall convert into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Non-Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of Non-Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder’s Non-Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; or

(B) If the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and Cash Election Shares of each holder thereof shall convert into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which (1) the Shortfall Number exceeds (2) the total number of Non-Election Shares and the denominator of which is the total

-4-

number of Cash Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder’s Cash Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no fractional Purchaser Common Shares shall be issued upon the surrender of Certificates for exchange, no dividend or distribution with respect to Purchaser Common Shares shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Purchaser. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Purchaser shall pay to each former shareholder of Company who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the average, rounded to the nearest one tenth of a cent, of the closing sale prices of Purchaser Common Shares on The NASDAQ Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”) (as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, any other authoritative source reasonably selected by Purchaser) for the five consecutive full trading days ending on the day preceding the Closing Date by (ii) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all Company Common Shares held by such holder at the Effective Time and rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Purchaser Common Shares to which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.4.

1.5 Restricted Stock and Stock Options.

(a) Immediately preceding the Effective Time, all outstanding plan share awards pursuant to a plan share award agreement granted prior to the date hereof (each, a “Company Restricted Share”) in accordance with Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan or Company’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Company Stock Plans” and each, a “Company Stock Plan”) shall be fully earned and vested and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.4(c) for each Company Common Share delivered with respect to such vested Company Restricted Share, net of any shares redeemed as payment for withholding taxes as permitted under Section 5.2(b). All such Company Restricted Shares which become fully earned immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms hereof shall be issued as Book-Entry Shares, net of any shares withheld as permitted by Section 5.2(b), and each such share to be considered an issued and outstanding Company Common Share as of the Effective Time.

(b) As of the date hereof there are no outstanding and unexercised employee or director options to purchase Company Common Shares.

1.6 Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement of the Surviving Company. The articles of organization and operating agreement of the Surviving Company shall be the articles of organization and operating agreement of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until duly amended in accordance with the terms thereof and applicable Law.

1.7 Managers and Officers. The managers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the managers of the Surviving Company and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly appointed, or their earlier death, resignation or removal. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the

-5-

Surviving Company and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

1.8 The Bank Merger. As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, Company and Purchaser shall cause The Farmers National Bank of Emlenton (“Company Bank”) and The Farmers National Bank of Canfield (“Purchaser Bank”), respectively, to enter into a bank merger agreement, the form of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (the “Bank Merger Agreement”), and which provides for the merger of Company Bank with and into Purchaser Bank (the “Bank Merger”), in accordance with applicable Laws and the terms of the Bank Merger Agreement and as soon as practicable after consummation of the Merger. Purchaser Bank will be the surviving entity in the Bank Merger and, following the Bank Merger, the separate corporate existence of Company Bank will cease. Prior to the Effective Time, Company will cause Company Bank, and Purchaser will cause Purchaser Bank, to execute such certificates or articles of merger and such other documents and certificates as are necessary to effectuate the Bank Merger. The Bank Merger Agreement provides that the directors of Purchaser Bank immediately prior to the Bank Merger shall remain the directors of Purchaser Bank upon consummation of the Bank Merger.

1.9 Effect on Purchaser Common Shares. Each Purchaser Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain issued and outstanding and shall be unchanged by the Merger.

ARTICLE II

DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION

2.1 Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser shall appoint Computershare Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Computershare Trust Company, N.A. pursuant to an agreement (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) hereunder.

2.2 Delivery of Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser and Merger Sub shall (a) authorize the Exchange Agent to deliver an aggregate number of Purchaser Common Shares equal to the aggregate Stock Consideration payable in Purchaser Common Shares to holders of Company Common Shares pursuant to Section 1.4(c)(ii), and (b) deposit, or cause to be deposited with, the Exchange Agent an amount in cash equal to (i) the aggregate Cash Consideration payable to holders of Company Common Shares pursuant to Section 1.4(c)(i) and (ii) to the extent then determinable, any cash payable to holders of Company Common Shares in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.4(g) (the amounts described in this clause (b), collectively, the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund will be held in trust for the holders of Company Common Shares until distributed to such holders pursuant to this Agreement.

2.3 Election and Exchange Procedures. Subject to Section 2.4, each holder of record of Company Common Shares (other than Company Common Shares owned directly by Company (other than Trust Account Shares and DPC Shares) or Purchaser), whose Company Common Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to

-6-

Section 1.4 at the Effective Time and any cash in lieu of fractional Purchaser Common Shares (each, a “Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article II, to exchange those Company Common Shares for Merger Consideration in accordance with the following procedures:

(a) Each Holder may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (an “Election”) (i) the number of whole Company Common Shares owned by such Holder with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Stock Election, and (ii) the number of whole Company Common Shares owned by such Holder with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Cash Election. Purchaser shall prepare a form reasonably acceptable to Company (the “Form of Election”) which shall be mailed to Company’s shareholders entitled to vote at the Company Shareholders’ Meeting so as to permit Company’s shareholders to exercise their right to make an Election prior to the Election Deadline.

(b) Purchaser shall prepare a letter of transmittal in such form as is reasonably acceptable to Company and as shall be prescribed by the Exchange Agent Agreement (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall accompany the Form of Election and specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificate(s) or evidence of Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificate(s) or evidence of Book-Entry Shares (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificates) to the Exchange Agent, and which shall be mailed to Company’s shareholders entitled to vote at the Company Shareholders’ Meeting so as to permit Company’s shareholders to exchange their Company Common Shares for the Merger Consideration.

(c) Purchaser shall make the Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal available to Company shareholders at the time that the Proxy Statement is made available to Company shareholders and shall use all reasonable efforts to make available as promptly as possible a Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal to any shareholder of Company who requests such following the initial mailing of the Forms of Election and Letters of Transmittal and prior to the Effective Time. In no event shall the Forms of Election and Letters of Transmittal be made available less than 20 days prior to the Company Shareholders’ Meeting.

(d) Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, by 5:00 p.m. local time in the city in which the principal office of such Exchange Agent is located, on the date of the Election Deadline, a Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal properly completed and signed and accompanied by Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificates) or evidence of Book-Entry Shares to which such Form of Election relates or by an appropriate customary guarantee of delivery of such Certificates or evidence of Book-Entry Shares, as set forth in such Form of Election and Letter of Transmittal, from a member of any registered national securities exchange or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States; provided, that such Certificates or evidence of Book-Entry Shares are in fact delivered to the Exchange Agent by the time required in such guarantee of delivery. Failure to deliver Company Common Shares covered by such a guarantee of delivery within the time set forth on such guarantee shall be deemed to invalidate any otherwise properly made Election, unless otherwise determined by Purchaser, in its sole discretion. As used herein, “Election Deadline” means the later of (i) 5:00 p.m. on the date that is the day prior to the date of Company Shareholders’ Meeting, and (ii) a date as may be mutually agreed to by Company and Purchaser occurring no later than five business days prior to the Closing Date. Company and

-7-

Purchaser shall cooperate to issue a press release reasonably satisfactory to each of them announcing the date of the Election Deadline not more than 15 business days before and at least five business days prior to the Election Deadline.

(e) Any Company shareholder may, at any time prior to the Election Deadline, change his or her Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline, accompanied by a properly completed and signed, revised Form of Election. If Purchaser shall determine in its reasonable discretion that any Election is not properly made with respect to any Company Common Shares, such Election shall be deemed to be not in effect, and the Company Common Shares covered by such Election shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be Non-Election Shares, unless a proper Election is thereafter timely made.

(f) Any Company shareholder may, at any time prior to the Election Deadline, revoke his or her Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline, or by withdrawal prior to the Election Deadline of his or her Certificates or evidence of Book-Entry Shares, or of the guarantee of delivery of such Certificates, previously deposited with the Exchange Agent. All Elections shall be revoked automatically, and the Certificates returned to the applicable shareholders, if the Exchange Agent is notified in writing by Purchaser or Company that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article VIII.

(g) Purchaser, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, shall have the right to make all determinations, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing (i) the validity of the Letters of Transmittal and compliance by any Holder with the procedures set forth therein and herein, (ii) the issuance and delivery of certificates representing Stock Consideration for Company Common Shares converted in the Merger, (iii) the method of payment of the Cash Consideration for Company Common Shares converted in the Merger, and (iv) the method of payment of cash in lieu of fractional Purchaser Common Shares where the Holder of the applicable Certificate has no right to receive whole Purchaser Common Shares.

(h) A Holder who has returned to the Exchange Agent prior to the Effective Time a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, accompanied by the Holder’s Certificate(s) or Book-Entry Shares, will be entitled to receive, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration, determined as provided in Section 1.4. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall represent after the Effective Time, for all purposes, only the right to receive, without interest, the applicable Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional Purchaser Common Shares to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with, and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to, this Article II.

(i) Within five (5) business days after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each Holder who theretofore has not submitted such Holder’s Certificates or evidence of Book-Entry Shares (i) a Letter of Transmittal, and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering Certificate(s) or evidence of Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Purchaser Common Shares to be issued or paid in consideration therefor, and any dividends or distributions to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(j). Holders who surrender to the Exchange Agent Certificate(s) or Book-

-8-

Entry Shares, accompanied by properly completed Letters of Transmittal, after the Effective Time will receive the Merger Consideration, determined as provided in Section 1.4, as promptly as practicable after such receipt by the Exchange Agent.

(j) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Purchaser Common Shares shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Shares with respect to the Purchaser Common Shares represented thereby, in each case unless and until the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares occurs in accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to the whole number of Purchaser Common Shares represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares and paid prior to such surrender date, and/or (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to the whole number of Purchaser Common Shares represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares with a record date after the Effective Time (but before such surrender date) and with a payment date subsequent to the issuance of the Purchaser Common Shares issuable with respect to such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares.

(k) In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares representing Company Common Shares that is not registered in the stock transfer records of Company, the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of fractional Purchaser Common Shares) shall be issued or paid in exchange therefor to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered is registered if the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares formerly representing such Company Common Shares shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment or issuance shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment or issuance to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser that the Tax has been paid or is not applicable. The Exchange Agent (or, subsequent to the earlier of (x) the one-year anniversary of the Effective Time and (y) the expiration or termination of the Exchange Agent Agreement, Purchaser) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Shares such amounts as the Exchange Agent or Purchaser, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent the amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent or Purchaser, as the case may be, and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Shares in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent or Purchaser, as the case may be.

(l) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the share transfer books of Company of the Company Common Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of Company Common Shares that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing such Company Common Shares are presented for transfer to the

-9-

Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the applicable Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional Purchaser Common Shares to be issued or paid in consideration therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II.

(m) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Holders as of the one-year anniversary of the Effective Time may be paid to Purchaser. In such event, any Holder who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Purchaser with respect to the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of any fractional shares, and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the Purchaser Common Shares deliverable in respect of each Company Common Share held by such Holder as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Purchaser, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Company Common Shares for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(n) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate (provided, that such bond requirement may be waived by Purchaser if substituted with an unqualified indemnity from any Company shareholder owning five or fewer Company Common Shares), the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including requirements of this Article II.

2.4 Company Restricted Share Election and Exchange Procedures. Holders who receive Company Common Shares immediately preceding the Effective Time with respect to Company Restricted Shares in accordance with Section 1.5 shall have the right to request a Stock Election or a Cash Election with respect to such Company Common Shares on such terms as may be mutually agreed to by the Company, Purchaser and the Exchange Agent. Any such elections made pursuant hereto shall be submitted to the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline. In the event a holder of Company Restricted Shares does not timely submit an election request in accordance with this Section 2.4, the subject Company Common Shares shall be deemed Non-Election Shares.

Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the Form S-4 within 60 days of the date herewith and have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, and Company shall thereafter mail or deliver the Proxy Statement to Company shareholders. Purchaser shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary state securities Law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Company shall furnish all information concerning Company and the holders of Company Common Shares as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.

(b) The parties shall cooperate with each other and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities that are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger and the Bank Merger), and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all such third parties or Governmental Entities. Purchaser Bank will prepare and, within 60 days of the date herewith, use commercially reasonable efforts to file an Interagency Bank Merger Act Application with the OCC. Each of Company and Purchaser shall have the right to review in advance, subject to applicable Laws, all of the information relating to Company or Purchaser, as the case may be, and its respective Subsidiaries, that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each of Company and Purchaser shall, to the extent practicable consult with each other on all the information relating to it or its respective Subsidiaries that appear in any such filing or written materials. In exercising the foregoing, each of the parties shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The parties shall consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall consult with

-43-

the other in advance of any meeting or conference with any Governmental Entity and to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, give the other party and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement require Purchaser or Company to take or commit to take any actions in connection with obtaining such consents, approvals and authorizations, or agree to or suffer any condition or restriction on Purchaser, Company or the Surviving Corporation in connection therewith, that would or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (measured on a scale relative to Company) on Purchaser or Company.

(c) Each of Purchaser and Company shall, upon request, furnish to the other all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement, the Form S-4 or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Purchaser, Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Purchaser and Company agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Form S-4 will, at the time the Form S-4 and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to shareholders and at the time of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement was made, not misleading. Each of Purchaser and Company further agrees that if it becomes aware that any information furnished by it would cause any of the statements in the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and to take appropriate steps to correct the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement.

(d) Each of Purchaser and Company shall promptly advise the other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity the consent or approval of which is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval may be materially delayed.

6.2 Access to Information.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws, Company shall, and shall cause Company Bank to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, advisors, agents and other representatives of Purchaser, reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records, and, during such period, Company shall, and shall cause Company Bank to, make available to Purchaser (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the

-44-

requirements of federal securities Laws or federal or state banking or insurance Laws (other than reports or documents that Company is not permitted to disclose under applicable Law); and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Purchaser may reasonably request, including periodic updates of the information provided in Section 3.26. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Company Bank’s regular business operations during any such access to the properties, books, contracts, commitments and records of Company and Company Bank. Upon the reasonable request of Company, Purchaser shall furnish such reasonable information about it and its business as is relevant to Company and its shareholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Company nor Purchaser, nor any of their Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of such party or its Subsidiaries or contravene any Law, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties shall make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) All nonpublic information and materials provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the confidentiality obligations reflected by the letter of intent entered into between Purchaser and Company dated as of December 21, 2021, and the confidentiality agreement entered into between Purchaser and Company dated November 12, 2021 (collectively, the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(c) No investigation by a party hereto or its representatives shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive any representations, warranties or covenants of the other party set forth in this Agreement.

6.3 Shareholder Approval. The Board of Directors of Company has resolved to recommend to Company’s shareholders that they approve this Agreement and will submit to its shareholders this Agreement and any other matters required to be approved by its shareholders in order to carry out the intentions of this Agreement. In furtherance of that obligation, Company will take, in accordance with applicable Law and the Company Articles and the Company Bylaws, all action necessary to convene a meeting of its shareholders (“Company Shareholders’ Meeting”), to be held as promptly as practicable after Purchaser has obtained the SEC’s declaration of effectiveness of the Form S-4, to consider and vote upon approval of this Agreement. Company agrees that its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to Company of any Acquisition Proposal or Change in the Company Recommendation. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.7, Company shall, through its Board of Directors, recommend to its shareholders the approval and adoption of this Agreement (the “Company Recommendation”), and shall use its best efforts to obtain from its shareholders the requisite affirmative vote to approve this Agreement (the “Company Shareholder Approval”), including, if necessary, adjourning the Company Shareholders’ Meeting if there are insufficient votes to approve this Agreement to allow additional time to attain the Company Shareholder Approval. Notwithstanding any Change in the Company Recommendation, this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of Company at the Company Shareholders’ Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Company of such obligation so long as Purchaser has obtained the SEC’s

-45-

declaration of effectiveness of the Form S-4; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors of Company shall have effected a Change in the Company Recommendation permitted hereunder, then the Board of Directors of Company shall submit this Agreement to Company’s shareholders without the recommendation of this Agreement (although the resolutions adopting this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event the Board of Directors of Company may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to Company’s shareholders in the Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by applicable Law; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Company may not take any action under this sentence unless it has complied with the provisions of Section 6.7. In addition to the foregoing, except as provided in Section 6.7, neither Company nor its Board of Directors of Company shall recommend to its shareholders or submit to the vote of its shareholders any Acquisition Proposal other than the Merger. Except as set forth in Section 6.7, neither the Board of Directors of Company nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Purchaser, the Company Recommendation or take any action, or make any public statement, filing or release inconsistent with the Company Recommendation (any of the foregoing being a “Change in the Company Recommendation”).

6.4 Nasdaq Listing; Reservation of Purchaser Common Shares.

(a) Purchaser shall cause the Purchaser Common Shares to be issued in the Merger to have been authorized for listing on the Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Purchaser agrees at all times from the date of this Agreement to reserve a sufficient number of Purchaser Common Shares to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, including payment of the Merger Consideration.

6.5 Employee Matters; Advisory Board.

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser shall take all reasonable action so that Employees of Company and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to participate in each benefit plan of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries of general applicability with the exception of any plan frozen to new participants (collectively, the “Purchaser Eligible Plans”) to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, it being understood that inclusion of the Employees of Company and its Subsidiaries in the Purchaser Eligible Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans; provided that coverage shall be continued under corresponding Company Benefit Plans until such Employees are permitted to participate in the Purchaser Eligible Plans; provided further, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall require Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries to make any grants to any former employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any discretionary equity compensation plan of Purchaser or to provide the same level of (or any) employer contributions or other benefit subsidies as Company or its Subsidiaries. Purchaser shall cause each Purchaser Eligible Plan in which Employees of Company and its Subsidiaries are eligible to participate, to recognize, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate in, and vesting of, benefits under the Purchaser Eligible Plans, the service of such Employees with Company and its Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by Company or its Subsidiaries, and, solely

-46-

for purposes of Purchaser’s vacation, paid time off and severance programs, for purposes of determining the benefit amount; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Except for the commitment to continue those Company Benefit Plans that correspond to Purchaser Eligible Plans until Employees of Company and its Subsidiaries are included in such Purchaser Eligible Plans, and subject to subsections (c) and (h) of this Section 6.5, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of Purchaser to amend or terminate any of the Company Benefit Plans in accordance with and to the extent permitted by their terms at any time permitted by such terms.

(b) The Company shall pay on the last business day preceding the Closing Date all change in control payments provided under each of the employment and change in control agreements listed in Section 3.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule as if the employment of each of the officers covered by such agreements had terminated as of the Effective Time, unless such agreement is superseded by a subsequent agreement between Company and such officer in which case any payments to such officers will be made in accordance with such superseding agreement. Each such payment shall be conditioned on the recipient providing the Company with a complete release to the Company’s and Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction in exchange for receiving the change in control payment. Section 6.5(b) to the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth the payments to be made under the employment or change in control agreements, or SERPs.

(c) At and following the Effective Time, and except as otherwise provided in Section 6.5(e), Purchaser shall honor, and the Surviving Company shall continue to be obligated to perform, in accordance with their terms, all benefit obligations to, and contractual rights of, current and former Employees and directors of Company and Company Bank existing as of the Effective Date under any Company Benefit Plan other than the written employment and change in control agreements listed in Section 3.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules.

(d) At such time as Employees of Company and its Subsidiaries become eligible to participate in a medical, dental or health plan of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, Purchaser shall, to the extent reasonably practicable and available from its insurers, cause each such plan to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations to the extent such conditions are covered under the applicable medical, health or dental plans of Purchaser, (ii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to such employee or dependent on or after the Effective Time to the extent such employee or dependent had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Company Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) provide each such employee or dependent with credit for any co-payments or co-insurance and deductibles paid during the same plan year under an analogous Company Benefit Plan (to the same extent that such credit was given under the analogous Company Benefit Plan during the applicable plan year).

(e) Company or Company Bank, as the case may be, shall adopt such resolutions of its Board of Directors and take such other action as Purchaser may reasonably request to cause the Farmers National Bank of Emlenton 401(k) Plan (the “Company 401(k) Plan”) to be (i) amended immediately prior to the Effective Time, if and to the extent necessary, to update the Company 401(k) Plan to comply with all changes in the Law and any plan qualification requirements applicable to the Company 401(k) Plan at such time, and (ii) terminated immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Plan Termination Date”) and the

-47-

accounts of all participants and beneficiaries in the Company 401(k) Plan as of the Plan Termination Date to become fully vested as of the Plan Termination Date. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than one year after the Plan Termination Date, the account balances in the Company 401(k) Plan shall be distributed to participants and beneficiaries or transferred to an eligible tax-qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account as a participant or beneficiary may direct. After the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall take all other actions necessary to complete the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, including filing a final Form 5500. Purchaser agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to permit Company 401(k) Plan participants who become employees of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries to roll over their account balances in the Company 401(k) Plan and loans from the Company 401(k) Plan to Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.5(c) to the contrary, Employees of Company or its Subsidiaries who continue in employment with the Surviving Company following the Effective Time shall be eligible as of the Effective Time to participate in the Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan.

(f) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Company shall, at the written request of Purchaser, freeze or terminate each Company Benefit Plan as is requested by Purchaser. Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall take appropriate action, acceptable to Purchaser, with regard to any plan defect described on Section 3.11(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(g) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.10, the provisions of this Section 6.5 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former Employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, except for certain Company employees under Section 6.5(h). In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Company Benefit Plan or any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by Purchaser, Company or any of their respective affiliates; (ii) alter or limit the ability of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries to amend, modify or terminate any Company Benefit Plan, employment agreement or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Closing Date, subject to subsections (c) and (h) of this Section 6.5; or (iii) to confer upon any current or former Employee, any right to employment or continued employment or continued service with Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or constitute or create an employment or other agreement with any Employee.

(h) Any employee of Company or its Subsidiaries who is not subject to a written employment, separation, or change in control agreement and whose employment is terminated at or within six months following the Effective Time, whether because such employee’s position is eliminated or such employee is not offered or retained in comparable employment (a “Covered Employee”), will be entitled to receive a severance payment in an amount equal to two weeks of such employee’s current base pay for each full year of such employee’s service with Company, subject to a minimum benefit of four weeks’ pay and a maximum benefit of 26 weeks’ pay. Comparable employment shall include (i) job duties substantially comparable to the Covered Employee’s current duties with the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) compensation at a salary or base compensation rate at least equal to the Covered Employee’s current salary or base compensation rate from the Company and its Subsidiaries, and

-48-

(iii) a primary job location that does not require the Covered Employee to commute after the Effective Time more than 30 miles greater than the Covered Employee’s present commute. With respect to Covered Employees who are part-time employees, “base pay” means such Covered Employee’s routinely scheduled number of hours per week at the time of the execution of the Agreement multiplied by such Covered Employee’s hourly rate of pay. This severance payment, if applicable, will be paid by Purchaser in lieu of participation by a Covered Employee in Purchaser’s severance plan as in effect from time to time after the Effective Time. For the purposes of determining the level of severance benefits hereunder, each Covered Employee shall be credited for service with Company only as provided in this Section 6.5(h).

(i) Purchaser shall offer employment, effective immediately after the Effective Time, to William C. Marsh as Senior Vice President of Purchaser and Market President, Pennsylvania, of Purchaser Bank generally in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Purchaser Disclosure Schedule Section 6.5(i).

(j) Promptly following the Effective Time, Purchaser will establish the Farmers-Emlenton Advisory Board and offer membership thereon to all non-employee directors serving on the Board of Directors of Company immediately prior to the Effective Time other than the director appointed to Purchaser’s Board of Directors in accordance with Section 6.16 hereof. Members of the Farmers-Emlenton Advisory Board shall serve for an initial term of one year from the Effective Time of the Merger, will meet no less frequently than three times annually, and will be paid compensation of $1,500 for each meeting attended.

6.6 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent provided under the Company Articles, the Company Bylaws, and any indemnification agreement between Company and any officer or director existing on March 21, 2022 (including advancement of expenses as incurred) to the extent permitted under applicable Law, including specifically 12 C.F.R. Part 359, each present and former director and officer of Company and Company Bank as of the Effective Time (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted before or after the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) Subject to the following sentence, for a period of six years following the Effective Time, Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that serves to reimburse the present and former officers and directors of Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from facts or events occurring at or before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), which insurance will contain at

-49-

least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Party as that coverage currently provided by Company; provided that in no event shall Purchaser be required to expend, on an annual basis, an amount in excess of 175% of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by Company for any such insurance (the “Premium Cap”); provided further, that if any such annual expense at any time would exceed the Premium Cap, then Purchaser will cause to be maintained policies of insurance which provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap. At the option of Purchaser, in consultation with Company, prior to the Effective Time and in lieu of the foregoing, Purchaser or Company may purchase a tail policy for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on the terms described in the prior sentence (including the Premium Cap) and fully pay for such policy prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.6(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described thereunder, will promptly notify Purchaser; provided that failure to so notify will not affect the obligations of Purchaser under Section 6.6(a) unless and to the extent that Purchaser is actually prejudiced as a consequence.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives. If Purchaser or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6.

6.7 No Solicitation.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 6.7(b), none of Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and each of them shall cause its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants and other retained representatives (each a “Representative”) not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, encourage, knowingly facilitate (including by way of providing information) or induce any inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to, or the making or completion of, any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry, proposal or offer that is reasonably likely to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person or “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) any confidential or nonpublic information with respect to or in connection with, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) take any other action to knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (iv) approve, endorse or recommend, or propose to approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or any agreement related thereto, (v) enter into any agreement contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction or Acquisition Proposal (other than any confidentiality agreement required by Section 6.7(b)), (vi) enter into any agreement or agreement in principle requiring, directly or indirectly, Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or breach its obligations hereunder, or (vii) propose or agree to do any of the foregoing.

-50-

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.7(a), if Company or any of its Representatives receives an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal by any Person or “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) that did not result from or arise in connection with a breach of this Section 6.7 at any time prior to the Company Shareholders’ Meeting that the Board of Directors of Company has determined, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel) to constitute or to be reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, Company and its Representatives may take any action described in Section 6.7(a)(ii) above to the extent that the Board of Directors of Company has determined, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with Company’s outside legal counsel), that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to violate its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that, prior to taking any such action, Company has obtained from such Person or “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms substantially similar to, and no less favorable to Company than, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(c) As promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 48 hours) following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, Company shall advise Purchaser in writing of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, shall promptly provide to Purchaser a copy of the Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry (including the identity of the Person or “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) making the Acquisition Proposal) and shall keep Purchaser promptly apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations (including providing Purchaser with a copy of all material documentation and correspondence relating thereto) on a current basis. Company agrees that it shall concurrently provide to Purchaser any information concerning Company that may be provided (pursuant to Section 6.7(b)) to any other Person or “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) in connection with any Acquisition Proposal which has not previously been provided to Purchaser.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, the Board of Directors of Company may withdraw its recommendation of the Merger Agreement, thereby resulting in a Change in the Company Recommendation, if and only if (x) from and after the date hereof, Company has complied with Sections 6.3 and 6.7, and (y) the Board of Directors of Company has determined in good faith, after consultation with Company’s outside legal counsel, that the taking of such action is reasonably necessary in order for the Board of Directors of Company to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that the Board of Directors of Company may not effect a Change in the Company Recommendation unless:

(i) Company shall have received an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal and the Board of Directors of Company shall have concluded in good faith (after consultation with Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, after taking into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement agreed to or proposed by Purchaser;

-51-

(ii) Company shall have provided prior written notice to Purchaser at least three business days in advance (the “Notice Period”) of taking such action, which notice shall advise Purchaser that the Board of Directors of Company has received a Superior Proposal, specify the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the Person or “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) making the Superior Proposal);

(iii) during the Notice Period, Company shall, and shall cause its financial advisors and outside counsel to, negotiate with Purchaser in good faith (to the extent Purchaser desires to so negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; and

(iv) the Board of Directors of Company shall have concluded in good faith (after consultation with Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that, after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to any proposals, amendments or modifications offered or agreed to by Purchaser, if any, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal.

If during the Notice Period any revisions are made to the Superior Proposal and such revisions are material, Company shall deliver a new written notice to Purchaser and shall again comply with the requirements of this Section 6.7(d) with respect to such new written notice, except that the new Notice Period shall be two business days. In the event the Board of Directors of Company does not make the determination referred to in clause (iv) of this paragraph and thereafter seeks to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation, the procedures referred to above shall apply anew and shall also apply to any subsequent Change in the Company Recommendation.

(e) Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal; (ii) request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished in connection therewith; and (iii) not terminate, waive, amend, release or modify any provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal to which it or Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives is a party, and enforce the provisions of any such agreement.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Company or its Board of Directors from making any disclosure to Company shareholders if the Board of Directors of Company (after consultation with Company’s outside legal counsel) concludes that its failure to do so would cause it to violate its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that this Section 6.7(f) will in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any action taken pursuant hereto would otherwise have under this Agreement.

-52-

(g) As used in this Agreement:

(i) “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal with respect to which the Board of Directors of Company determines in its good faith judgment to be more favorable to Company than the Merger, and to be reasonably capable of being consummated on the terms proposed, after (A) receiving the advice of Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor, and (B) taking into account all material relevant factors (including the likelihood of consummation of such transaction on the terms set forth therein, any proposed changes to this Agreement that may be proposed by Purchaser in response to such Acquisition Proposal (whether or not during the Notice Period), and all material legal (with the advice of Company’s outside legal counsel), financial (including the financing terms of any such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of such proposal (including any expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to closing)); provided, that for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal,” the references to “25%” and “75%” in the definitions of Acquisition Proposal and Acquisition Transaction shall be deemed to be references to “50%”;

(ii) “Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal, offer, inquiry, or indication of interest (whether binding or non-binding, and whether communicated to Company or publicly announced to Company’s shareholders) by any Person or “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) (in each case other than Purchaser or any of its affiliates) relating to an Acquisition Transaction (as defined in Section 6.7(g)(iii)) involving Company or any of its present or future consolidated Subsidiaries, or any combination of such Subsidiaries; and

(iii) “Acquisition Transaction” means any transaction or series of related transactions (other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) involving: (A) any acquisition (whether direct or indirect, including by way of merger, share exchange, consolidation, business combination or other similar transaction) or purchase from Company by any Person or “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act), other than Purchaser or any of its affiliates, of 25% or more in interest of the total outstanding voting securities of Company or any of its Subsidiaries (measured by voting power), or any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act), other than Purchaser or any of its affiliates, beneficially owning 25% or more in interest of the total outstanding voting securities of Company or any of its Subsidiaries (measured by voting power), or any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving Company pursuant to which the shareholders of Company immediately preceding such transaction would hold less than 75% of the equity interests in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction (or, if applicable, the ultimate parent thereof) (measured by voting power); (B) any sale or lease or exchange, transfer, license, acquisition or disposition of a business, deposits or assets that constitute 25% or more of the consolidated assets, business, revenues, net income, assets or deposits of Company; or (C) any liquidation or dissolution of Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

-53-

(h) Nothing contained in Section 6.7 shall prohibit Company or the Board of Directors of Company from complying with Company’s obligations under Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any such disclosure relating to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed a Change in the Company Recommendation unless the Board of Directors of Company reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such disclosure.

6.8 Takeover Laws.

6.11 Shareholder Litigation. Company shall give Purchaser prompt notice of any shareholder litigation against Company and/or its directors or affiliates relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall give Purchaser the opportunity to participate at its own expense in the defense and/or settlement of any such litigation.

6.16 Additional Purchaser Director.

(a) by mutual consent of Company and Purchaser in a written instrument authorized by the Boards of Directors of Company and Purchaser;

(b) by either Company or Purchaser, if any Governmental Entity that must grant a Requisite Regulatory Approval has denied approval of the Merger and such denial has become final and nonappealable or any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable order, injunction or decree permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) by either Company or Purchaser, if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before January 31, 2023, unless the failure of the Merger to occur by such date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth in this Agreement;

(d) by either Company or Purchaser (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein), if there shall have been a breach of any of the representations or warranties, or any failure to perform in all material respects any of the covenants or agreements, set forth in this Agreement on the part of Company, in the case of a termination by Purchaser, or on the part of Purchaser, in the case of a termination by Company, which breach, either individually or in the aggregate with other breaches by such party, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a)-(d) or 7.3(a)-(c), as the case may be, and which is not cured within 30 days following written notice to the party committing such breach or by its nature or timing cannot be cured within such time period;

(e) by Purchaser, if (i) at any time prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Company has (A) failed to recommend to the shareholders of Company that they give the Company Shareholder Approval; (B) effected a Change in the Company Recommendation, including by publicly approving, endorsing or recommending, or publicly proposing to approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal (other than this

-59-

Agreement), whether or not permitted by the terms hereof, or resolved to do the same, or (C) failed to substantially comply with its obligations under Section 6.3 or 6.7 hereof; or (ii) a tender offer or exchange offer for 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Company Common Shares is commenced (other than by Purchaser or a Subsidiary thereof), and the Board of Directors of Company recommends that the shareholders of Company tender their shares in such tender or exchange offer or otherwise fails to recommend that such shareholders reject such tender offer or exchange offer within the ten business day period specified in Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act;

(f) by Company, if at any time prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser has materially breached its obligations under Section 6.1 or 6.4 hereof;

(g) by Purchaser or Company, if the approval of the Company Shareholder Approval, as required by Section 7.1(a), shall not have been obtained at a duly held Company Shareholders’ Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof); or

(h) by Company at any time during the three-day period following the Determination Date (as defined below), if both of the following conditions (i) and (ii) exist:

(i) the Average Closing Price (as defined below) shall be less than the product of .8 and the Starting Price; and

(ii) (x) the number obtained by dividing the Average Closing Price by the Starting Price (such number being referred to herein as the “Purchaser Ratio”) shall be less than (y) the number obtained by dividing the Index Price on the Determination Date by the Index Price on the Starting Date (as defined below) and subtracting 0.2 from such quotient (such number being referred to herein as the “Index Ratio”); subject to the following: if Company elects to exercise its termination right pursuant to Section 8.1(h), it shall give prompt written notice to Purchaser; provided that such notice of election to terminate may be withdrawn at any time within the aforementioned three-day period. For a period of five business days after receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall have the option of increasing the Exchange Ratio in a manner such, and to the extent required, so that the condition set forth in either clause (i) or (ii) above shall be deemed not to exist.

For purposes hereof, the condition set forth in clause (i) above shall be deemed not to exist if the Exchange Ratio is increased so that the Adjusted Stock Consideration (calculated by using the Average Closing Price, as provided in the definition of  “Adjusted Stock Consideration”) after such increase is not less than 80% of the Adjusted Stock Consideration calculated by using the Starting Price in lieu of the Average Closing Price.

For purposes hereof, the condition set forth in clause (ii) above shall be deemed not to exist if the Exchange Ratio is increased so that the Adjusted Purchaser Ratio is not less than the Index Ratio.

If Purchaser makes this election, within such period, it shall give prompt written notice to Company of such election and the revised Exchange Ratio, whereupon no termination shall have occurred pursuant to this Section 8.1(h) and this Agreement shall remain in

-60-

effect in accordance with its terms (except as the Exchange Ratio, and derivatively the Stock Consideration, shall have been so modified), and any references in this Agreement to “Exchange Ratio” and “Stock Consideration” shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Exchange Ratio and Stock Consideration after giving effect to any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8.1(h).

For purposes of this Section 8.1(h), the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

“Adjusted Purchaser Ratio” means the number obtained by dividing (x) the sum of  (i) the Average Closing Price plus (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate increase in transaction value resulting from an increase in the Exchange Ratio by the total number of shares of Purchaser Common Shares outstanding multiplied by the initial Exchange Ratio, on the Determination Date, by (y) the Starting Price. For purposes of calculating the increase in transaction value, the price per share of Purchaser Common Shares shall be deemed to be the Average Closing Price.

“Adjusted Stock Consideration” means the product of the Stock Consideration times the Average Closing Price.

“Average Closing Price” means the average of the last reported closing prices per share of Purchaser Common Shares as reported on the Nasdaq (as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, any other mutually agreed upon authoritative source) for the twenty consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Determination Date.

“Determination Date” shall mean the tenth calendar day immediately prior to the Effective Time, or if such calendar day is not a trading day on the Nasdaq, the trading day immediately preceding such calendar day.

“Index Price” on a given date means the closing price of the Nasdaq Bank Index.

“Starting Date” means the trading day on the Nasdaq immediately preceding the day on which the parties publicly announce the signing of this Agreement.

“Starting Price” means $17.02.

If the Purchaser declares or effects a stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction between the Starting Date and the Determination Date, the prices for the common stock of the Purchaser shall be appropriately adjusted for the purposes of applying this Section 8.1(h).

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) of this Section 8.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other party in accordance with Section 9.3, specifying the provision or provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is effected.

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Company or Purchaser as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void

-61-

and have no effect, and none of Company, Purchaser, any of their respective affiliates or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever under this Agreement, or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that (i) Sections 6.2(b), 6.12 (the penultimate sentence only), 8.2, 8.3, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.10 and 9.11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (ii) neither Company nor Purchaser shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its Willful Breach of any provision of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Willful Breach” means a material breach that is a consequence of an act undertaken by the breaching party with the actual knowledge that the taking of the act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement.

8.3 Fees and Expenses.

(a) All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if:

(i) (A) Either Company or Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to 8.1(c) (without the Company Shareholder Approval having been obtained), Purchaser terminates pursuant to Section 8.1(d) (as a result of a Willful Breach by Company)(B) prior to termination, there has been publicly announced an Acquisition Proposal or any Person or “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) shall have communicated to Company or its shareholders an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not conditional), or an intention (whether or not conditional) to make an Acquisition Proposal, and (C) within twelve months of such termination Company shall either (1) consummate an Acquisition Transaction or (2) enter into any definitive agreement relating to any Acquisition Transaction (but not including any confidentiality agreement required by Section 6.7(b) (an “Acquisition Agreement”)) with respect to an Acquisition Transaction or Acquisition Proposal, whether or not such Acquisition Transaction or Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated (but changing, in the case of (1) and (2), the references to the “25%” and “75%” amounts in the definition of Acquisition Transaction and Acquisition Proposal to “50%”); or

(ii) (A) Either Company or Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g) and (B) within six months of such termination Company shall either (1) consummate an Acquisition Transaction or (2) enter into any Acquisition Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Transaction or Acquisition Proposal, whether or not such Acquisition Transaction or Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated (but changing, in the case of (1) and (2), the references to the “25%” and “75%” amounts in the definition of Acquisition Transaction and Acquisition Proposal to “50%”)

(iii) Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e);

-62-

then Company shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to Three Million, Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($3,750,000.00) (the “Termination Fee”). If the Termination Fee shall be payable pursuant to subsection (b)(i) of this Section 8.3, the Termination Fee shall be paid in same-day funds at or prior to the earlier of the date of consummation of such Acquisition Transaction or the date of execution of an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Transaction or Acquisition Proposal. If the Termination Fee shall be payable pursuant to subsection (b)(ii) of this Section 8.3, the Termination Fee shall be paid in same-day funds immediately upon delivery of the written notice of termination required by Section 8.1.

(c) The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in paragraph (b) of this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, they would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Company fails to pay promptly any fee payable by it pursuant to this Section 8.3, then Company shall pay to Purchaser, Purchaser’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) in connection with collecting such fee, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. from the date such payment was due under this Agreement until the date of payment.

8.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, at any time before or after the Company Shareholder Approval; provided, however, that after the Company Shareholder Approval, there may not be, without further approval of the Company shareholders who have already provided their approval, any amendment of this Agreement that requires further approval under applicable Law. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

8.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Each of the parties hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court in any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and hereby irrevocably waives the benefit of jurisdiction derived from present or future domicile or otherwise in such suit, action or proceeding. Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such

suit, action or proceeding in such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

9.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any controversy that may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation, directly or indirectly, arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party certifies and acknowledges that (a) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (b) each party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (c) each party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (d) each party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.8.

9.9 Publicity. Neither Company nor Purchaser shall, and neither Company nor Purchaser shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to, or otherwise make any public statement, or, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any disclosure of nonpublic information to a third party, concerning, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Purchaser, in the case of a proposed announcement, statement or disclosure by Company, or Company, in the case of a proposed announcement, statement or disclosure by Purchaser; provided, however, that either party may, without the prior consent of the other party (but after prior consultation with the other party to the extent practicable under the circumstances) issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement to the extent required by Law or rules established by Nasdaq.

9.10 Assignment; Third-Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned by either of the parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except for the provisions of Section 6.6, which is intended to benefit each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives, or for those certain Company employees under Section 6.5(h), this Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement) is not intended to and does not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies under this Agreement.

9.11 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, this being in addition to any other remedies to which they are entitled at law or equity.

-66-

9.12 Disclosure Schedule. Before entry into this Agreement, Company delivered to Purchaser a schedule (a “Company Disclosure Schedule”) and Purchaser has delivered to Company a schedule (a “Purchaser Disclosure Schedule”) that sets forth, among other things, items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate either in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision hereof or as an exception to one or more representations or warranties contained in Article III or Article IV, as the case may be, or to one or more covenants contained herein; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) no such item is required to be set forth as an exception to a representation or warranty if its absence would not result in the related representation or warranty being deemed untrue or incorrect and (b) the mere inclusion of an item as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, “Previously Disclosed” means information set forth by Company or Purchaser, as the case may be, in the applicable paragraph of its Company Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, respectively, or any other paragraph of its Company Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule (so long as it is reasonably clear on the face of such disclosure that the disclosure in such other paragraph of its Company Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule is also applicable to the section of this Agreement in question).

9.13 Delivery by Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments or waivers hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

VOTING AGREEMENT

March 23, 2022

Farmers National Banc Corp.

20 S. Broad St.

Canfield, OH 44406

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Concurrently with the execution of this letter agreement (“Voting Agreement”), Farmers National Banc Corp., an Ohio corporation (“Farmers”), FMNB Merger Subsidiary V, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Farmers (“Merger Sub”), and Emclaire Financial Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Emclaire”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, of even date herewith (the “Merger Agreement”), whereby Emclaire will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”) and the shareholders of Emclaire will receive the Merger Consideration as set forth in the Merger Agreement, subject to the closing of the Merger. All defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

A condition to Farmers’ obligations under the Merger Agreement is that I execute and deliver this Voting Agreement to Farmers. Intending to be legally bound hereby, I irrevocably agree and represent as follows:

(a)    As of the date of this Voting Agreement, and at all times during the term of this Voting Agreement (i) I will have beneficial ownership, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (“Beneficial Ownership”), of, and good and valid title to, the number of common shares, $1.25 par value, of Emclaire (the “Emclaire Common Shares”), that is set forth on Appendix A hereto, (ii) I hold restricted stock awards with respect to the number of Emclaire Common Shares set forth on Appendix A hereto, and (iii) I will have Beneficial Ownership of, and good and valid title to, the number of preferred shares, $1.00 par value, of Emclaire (the “Emclaire Preferred Shares”), that is set forth on Appendix A hereto. All of the securities listed on Appendix A are either (x) owned free and clear of any proxy or voting restriction, claims, liens, encumbrances and security interests and any other limitation or restriction whatsoever (including any restriction on the right to dispose of such securities), or (y) with respect to the Emclaire Common Shares subject to restricted stock awards, are subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable restricted stock award agreement. None of the securities listed on Appendix A are subject to any voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting rights of such securities.

(b)    As of the date of this Voting Agreement, except for the securities set forth on Appendix A, I do not beneficially own any (i) shares of capital stock or voting securities of Emclaire, (ii) securities of Emclaire convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or voting securities of Emclaire, or (iii) options or other rights to acquire from Emclaire any capital stock, voting securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock or voting securities of Emclaire. The Emclaire Common Shares listed on Appendix A, together with all Emclaire Common Shares that I subsequently acquire during the term of this Voting Agreement, including through the exercise of any stock options, warrants or similar instruments, are referred to herein as the “Shares”.

(c)     At the Company Shareholders’ Meeting (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and at any other meeting of Emclaire shareholders, however called, I will be present (in person or by proxy) so that all of the Shares over which I have sole voting power shall be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum and vote or cause to be voted (including on any action or approval by written consent of shareholders of Emclaire) not less than all of such Shares. In addition, I will use my best efforts to cause any Shares over which I share voting power, to be voted in favor of (i) approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (ii) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement. Determinations as to “sole” or “shared” voting power shall be made in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act.

(d)     During the term of this Voting Agreement, I will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) any Shares over which I have sole dispositive power (or any interest therein), and I will use my best efforts to not permit the Transfer of any Shares over which I have shared dispositive power (or any interest therein), except to the extent permitted by paragraph (g) hereof.

(e)    I agree that Emclaire shall not be bound by any attempted sale of any Emclaire Common Shares over which I have sole voting and dispositive power, and Emclaire’s transfer agent shall be given appropriate stop transfer orders and shall not be required to register any such attempted sale, unless the sale has been effected in compliance with the terms of this Voting Agreement.

(f)    I represent that I have the legal capacity to enter into this Voting Agreement, that I have duly and validly executed and delivered this Voting Agreement and that this Voting Agreement is a valid and binding obligation enforceable against me in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors’ rights and general equitable principles; and further, that no consent of my spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other laws in order for me to enter into and perform my obligations under this Voting Agreement.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, I may Transfer any or all of the Shares over which I have beneficial ownership to myself, my spouse, ancestors or descendants; provided, however, that in any such case, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of such Transfer, each person to which any of such Shares or any interest in any of such Shares is or may be Transferred (other than myself) shall have executed and delivered to Farmers an agreement to be bound by the terms of this Voting Agreement.

I am signing this Voting Agreement solely in my capacity as a shareholder of Emclaire, if I am such, and not in any other capacity, such as a director or officer of Emclaire or as a fiduciary of any trusts in which I am not a beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) I make no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in my capacity as a beneficial owner of the Shares and (b) nothing herein shall be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by me or any of my representatives, as applicable, in serving on Emclaire’s Board of Directors or as an officer of Emclaire, in acting in my capacity as a director, officer or fiduciary of Emclaire, or as a fiduciary of any trust for which I serve as trustee.

2

This Voting Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect concurrently with, and automatically upon, the earlier to occur of (a) the favorable vote of the Emclaire shareholders with respect to the approval of the Merger Agreement, (b) the Effective Time, (c) Farmers and I enter into a written agreement to terminate this Voting Agreement, or (d) any termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, except that any such termination shall be without prejudice to Farmers’ rights if termination should arise out of my willful breach of any covenant or representation contained herein.

All notices and other communications in connection with this Voting Agreement shall be in writing (which shall include electronic mail) and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand or by nationally recognized overnight delivery service (receipt requested), mailed by registered or certified U.S. mail (return receipt requested) postage prepaid or electronic mail (upon confirmation of receipt) to the parties at the addresses set forth on the signature pages hereto (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice).

This Voting Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties. This Voting Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Voting Agreement.

I agree and acknowledge that Farmers may be irreparably harmed by, and that there may be no adequate remedy at law for, any violation of this Voting Agreement by me. Without limiting other remedies, Farmers shall have the right to seek to enforce this Voting Agreement by specific performance or injunctive relief. This Voting Agreement and all claims arising hereunder or relating hereto, shall be governed and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. I hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Ohio state court or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this letter.

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Voting Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Voting Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Voting Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic means), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that each party need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this

3

Agreement, and any amendments or waivers hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

Exhibit 10.1

Settlement Agreement

This Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of March 23, 2022 by and among William C. Marsh (the “Executive”), Emclaire Financial Corp, a Pennsylvania-chartered bank holding company (“Bank”), and The Farmers National Bank of Emlenton, a national banking association (collectively referred to as the “Company”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Farmers National Banc Corp, an Ohio corporation (“Purchaser”), and FMNB Merger Subsidiary V, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser, and Bank are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 23, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), and all capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Company and the Executive desire to enter into this Agreement, which shall, except as expressly provided in Sections 2 and 4 below, supersede in its entirety the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of November 18, 2015 (the “Prior Agreement”), effective immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, and in lieu of any and all rights and payments and benefits under the Prior Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to the rights and payments set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Executive and the Company agree as follows:

1. Cancellation of Prior Agreement. Effective as of the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and prior to the Effective Time, except as expressly provided in Sections 2 and 4 below, the Prior Agreement shall be cancelled in its entirety and the parties thereto shall have no further rights or obligations thereunder. In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated or otherwise cancelled, this Agreement will be null and void ab initio, and the Prior Agreement will remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

2. Settlement. Provided the Executive has remained employed with the Company to and including the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to $1,844,122 (the “Settlement Award”), less required tax withholding, on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Payment of the Settlement Award, and the Executive’s right to receive the same, shall be conditioned on the Executive’s execution and delivery to the Company of a general release and expiration of the revocation period set forth in the release (in the form as attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A) (the “Release”) on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Contingent on the Executive’s timely execution and delivery of the Release, the Executive shall have a non-forfeitable right to payment of the Settlement Award hereunder.

3. Complete Satisfaction. In consideration of the payment of the Settlement Award and Executive’s execution of the Release attached hereto as Exhibit A, the Executive and the Company hereby agree that the full payment of the Settlement Award, in accordance with Section 2, shall be in complete satisfaction of all rights to payments due to Executive under the Prior Agreement and any other agreement or broad based program available to employees of the Company, except as set forth in the following paragraph.

1

For the avoidance of doubt, the payment of the Settlement Award under this Agreement shall not release the Company, as applicable, from any of the following obligations: (a) obligations to pay to the Executive accrued but unpaid wages and accrued but unpaid time off earned up to the Effective Time of the Merger to the extent required by applicable law; (b) payment under any Company annual incentive plan with respect to calendar year 2022 under applicable performance metrics per the plan; (c) the payment of any of the Executive’s vested benefits under the tax-qualified plans of Company, including any benefits that become vested as a result of the Merger or the termination of such plans; (d) the acceleration and vesting of any Company Restricted Stock awards; (e) future payments as vested under the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Agreement dated November 18, 2015, as amended and restated on February 8, 2019 (the “SERP”); (f) any vested rights the Executive has under any of the Company’s welfare benefit plans with respect to claims incurred or benefits accrued prior to the Effective Time of the Merger; (g) the payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to the Company Common Shares held by the Executive as contemplated by the Merger Agreement; or (h) rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses under applicable corporate law, the organizational documents of the Company, as an insured under any director’s and officer’s liability insurance policy or pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

4. Survival of Restrictive Covenants. Section 7 of the Prior Agreement shall survive the termination of the Prior Agreement and will remain in full force and effect and enforceable as to the Executive during the Restricted Period (as defined in the Prior Agreement).

5. Code Section 409A Compliance. The intent of the parties is that payments under this Agreement either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. A termination of employment, as used in this Agreement, shall mean a Separation from Service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that the Settlement Award described in Section 2 is intended to be excepted from compliance with Section 409A of the Code as a short-term deferral pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).

6. General.

6.1 Heirs, Successors, and Assigns. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser as the successor of Company following the Bank Merger.

6.2 Final Agreement. This Agreement and the benefits described herein supersedes and terminates the Prior Agreement and all prior understandings, written or oral, related thereto or arising thereunder. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, modified or discharged only by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

6.3 Withholdings. Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state or local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to applicable law or regulation.

2

6.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, enforced and interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without reference to its principles of conflicts of law, except to the extent that federal law shall be deemed to preempt such state laws.

6.5 Voluntary Action and Waiver.

(b) Executive’s Release specifically extends to, without limitation, any and all claims or causes of action as an officer, employee or shareholder of the Company or for wrongful termination, breach of an express or implied contract, including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement (as defined in the Settlement Agreement), interference with contractual relationships, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, employment discrimination, including harassment, fraud, misrepresentation, defamation, slander, infliction of emotional distress, disability, loss of future earnings, and any claims under any applicable state, federal or local statutes and regulations, including, but not limited to, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended, the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (the “ADA”), the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended (“ADEA”), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as amended (the “WARN Act”), the Family and Medical Leave Act, or any other federal or state laws relating to employment or employment discrimination, and any claims for attorneys’ fees and costs; provided, however, that Executive’s Release does not waive, release or otherwise discharge (i) any claim or cause of action that cannot legally be waived by private agreement between Executive and the Company, including, but not limited to, any claim for unpaid wages, workers’ compensation benefits or unemployment benefits; (ii) any claims or rights the Executive has with respect to any of the items described in the second paragraph of Section 3 of the Settlement Agreement; and (iii) any claim or cause of action to enforce any of Executive’s rights under the Settlement Agreement.

Vernick (the “Executive”), Emclaire Financial Corp, a Pennsylvania-chartered bank holding company (“Bank”), and The Farmers National Bank of Emlenton, a national banking association (collectively referred to as the “Company”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Farmers National Banc Corp, an Ohio corporation (“Purchaser”), and FMNB Merger Subsidiary V, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser, and Bank are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 23, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), and all capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Company and the Executive desire to enter into this Agreement, which shall, except as expressly provided in Sections 2 and 4 below, supersede in its entirety the Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreement dated November 18, 2015 (the “Prior Agreement”), effective immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, and in lieu of any and all rights and payments and benefits under the Prior Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to the rights and payments set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Executive and the Company agree as follows:

1. Cancellation of Prior Agreement. Effective as of the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and prior to the Effective Time, except as expressly provided in Sections 2 and 4 below, the Prior Agreement shall be cancelled in its entirety and the parties thereto shall have no further rights or obligations thereunder. In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated or otherwise cancelled, this Agreement will be null and void ab initio, and the Prior Agreement will remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

2. Settlement. Provided the Executive has remained employed with the Company to and including the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to $455,020.00 (the “Settlement Award”), less required tax withholding, on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Payment of the Settlement Award, and the Executive’s right to receive the same, shall be conditioned on the Executive’s execution and delivery to the Company of a general release and expiration of the revocation period set forth in the release (in the form as attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A) (the “Release”) on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Contingent on the Executive’s timely execution and delivery of the Release, the Executive shall have a non-forfeitable right to payment of the Settlement Award hereunder.

1

For the avoidance of doubt, the payment of the Settlement Award under this Agreement shall not release the Company, as applicable, from any of the following obligations: (a) obligations to pay to the Executive accrued but unpaid wages and accrued but unpaid time off earned up to the Effective Time of the Merger to the extent required by applicable law; (b) payment under any Company annual incentive plan with respect to calendar year 2022 under applicable performance metrics per the plan; (c) the payment of any of the Executive’s vested benefits under the tax-qualified plans of Company, including any benefits that become vested as a result of the Merger or the termination of such plans; (d) the acceleration and vesting of any Company Restricted Stock awards; (e) future payments as vested under the Company’s Amended and Restated Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Agreement dated November 18, 2015 (the “SERP”); (f) any vested rights the Executive has under any of the Company’s welfare benefit plans with respect to claims incurred or benefits accrued prior to the Effective Time of the Merger; (g) the payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to the Company Common Shares held by the Executive as contemplated by the Merger Agreement; or (h) rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses under applicable corporate law, the organizational documents of the Company, as an insured under any director’s and officer’s liability insurance policy or pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

4. Survival of Restrictive Covenants. Section 7.10 of the SERP shall survive the termination of the Prior Agreement and will remain in full force and effect and enforceable as to the Executive during the Restricted Period (as defined in the Prior Agreement).

5. Code Section 409A Compliance. The intent of the parties is that payments under this Agreement either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. A termination of employment, as used in this Agreement, shall mean a Separation from Service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that the Settlement Award described in Section 2 is intended to be excepted from compliance with Section 409A of the Code as a short-term deferral pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).

6. General.

6.1 Heirs, Successors, and Assigns. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser as the successor of Company following the Bank Merger.

6.2 Final Agreement. This Agreement and the benefits described herein supersedes and terminates the Prior Agreement and all prior understandings, written or oral, related thereto or arising thereunder. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, modified or discharged only by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

6.3 Withholdings. Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state or local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to applicable law or regulation.

2

6.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, enforced and interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without reference to its principles of conflicts of law, except to the extent that federal law shall be deemed to preempt such state laws.

6.5 Voluntary Action and Waiver. The Executive acknowledges that by his free and voluntary act of signing below, the Executive agrees to all of the terms of this Agreement and intends to be legally bound thereby. The Executive acknowledges that he has been advised to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement.

6.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

7. Effectiveness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall be subject to consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, as the same may be amended by the parties thereto in accordance with its terms. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason or the Merger does not occur, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the Employers and the Executive hereby amend the Agreement as follows:

1. The Agreement is hereby amended to add a new Section 20 to read in its entirety as follows:

“20. Competition after Date of Termination. The Executive shall forfeit all rights to any further benefits hereunder if the Executive, without the prior written consent of the Employers, violates any of the following restrictive covenants.

(a) Non-compete provision. During (x) the period that the Executive is employed by the Employers, (y) the period of three years following the Date of Termination if such event occurs prior to a Change in Control, and (z) the period of six months following a Change in Control if a Date of Termination has not occurred prior to such Change in Control, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, either as an individual or as a proprietor, stockholder, partner, officer, director, employee, agent, consultant or independent contractor of any individual, partnership, corporation or other entity (excluding an ownership interest of three percent (3%) or less in the stock of a publicly-traded company):

(i) become employed by, participate in, or become connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any bank, savings and loan or other similar financial institution if the Executive’s responsibilities will include providing banking or other financial services within twenty-five (25) miles of any office maintained by the Employers as of the Date of Termination of the Executive’s employment; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Executive from owning for passive investment purposes less than five percent (5%) of the publicly traded voting securities of any company engaged in the banking, financial services, insurance, brokerage or other business similar to or competitive with the Employers (so long as the Executive has no power to manage, operate, advise, consult with or control the competing enterprise and no power, alone or in conjunction with other affiliated parties, to select a director, manager, general partner, or similar governing official of the competing enterprise other than in connection with the normal and customary voting powers afforded the Executive in connection with any permissible equity ownership);

(ii) participate in any way in hiring or otherwise engaging, or assisting any other person or entity in hiring or otherwise engaging, on a temporary, part-time or permanent basis, any individual who was employed by the Employers as of the Date of Termination of the Executive’s employment (excluding those employees whose employment is terminated by the Employers);

(iii) assist, advise, or serve in any capacity, representative or otherwise, any third party in any action against the Employers or transaction involving the Employers;

(iv) sell, offer to sell, provide banking or other financial services, assist any other person in selling or providing banking or other financial services, or solicit or otherwise compete for (whether by mail, telephone, personal meeting or any other means, excluding general solicitations of the public that are not based in whole or in part on any list of customers of the Employers or any of its affiliates or successors), either directly or indirectly, any orders, contract, or accounts for services of a kind or nature like or substantially similar to the financial services performed or financial products sold by the Employers (the preceding hereinafter referred to as “Services”), to or from any person or entity from whom the Executive or the Employers, to the knowledge of the Executive, provided banking or other financial services, sold, offered to sell or solicited orders, contracts or accounts for Services during the three (3) year period immediately prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment;

(v) divulge, disclose, or communicate to others in any manner whatsoever, any confidential information of the Employers, to the knowledge of the Executive, including, but not limited to, the names and addresses of customers or prospective customers, of the Employers, as they may have existed from time to time, of work performed or services rendered for any customer, any method and/or procedures relating to projects or other work developed for the Employers, earnings or other information concerning the Employers. The restrictions contained in this subsection (v) apply to all information regarding the Employers, regardless of the source that provided or compiled such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all information referred to herein shall not be disclosed unless and until it becomes known to the general public from sources other than the Executive.

2

(b) Value of Non-compete for Purposes of Code Section 280G. For purposes of Code Section 280G, the Employers shall ascribe a value to the restrictive covenants imposed upon the Executive pursuant to Section 20(a), with such value to not exceed one-half of the Executive’s annual compensation as of the date of the Change in Control for each six-month period covered by Section 20(a).

(c) Judicial Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of Section 20(a), the Executive recognizes the substantial and immediate harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the Employers, and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Employers. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of Section 20(a), the Executive consents to the Employers’ entitlement to such ex parte, preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the Employers’ rights hereunder and preventing the Executive from further breaching any of the Executive’s obligations set out herein. The Executive expressly waives any requirement, based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source, that the Employers post a bond as a condition of obtaining any of the above-described remedies. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Employers from pursuing any other remedies available to the Employers at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive. The Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions set forth in Section 20(a) are reasonable in terms of scope, duration, geographic area and otherwise; (ii) the protections afforded the Employers in Section 20(a) are necessary to protect their legitimate business interest; (iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 20(a) will not be materially adverse to the Executive’s employment with the Employers; and (iv) the Executive’s agreement to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement.

(d) Overbreadth of Restrictive Covenant. It is the intention of the parties that if any restrictive covenant in this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad, then the court should enforce such restrictive covenant to the maximum extent permitted under the law as to area, breadth and duration.”

2. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

3. All other provisions of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

(Signature page follows)

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment has been executed as of the date first written above by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of each of the Employers.

Exhibit 99.1

Farmers National Banc Corp. and

Emclaire Financial Corp. Announce Merger

CANFIELD, Ohio and EMLENTON, Pennsylvania — (BUSINESS WIRE) – March 24, 2022 — Farmers National Banc Corp. (“Farmers”) (NASDAQ: FMNB), the holding company for The Farmers National Bank of Canfield (“Farmers Bank”), and Emclaire Financial Corp. (“Emclaire”) (NASDAQ: EMCF), the holding company for The Farmers National Bank of Emlenton (“Emlenton Bank”), jointly announced today that they have entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Agreement, each shareholder of Emclaire may elect to receive either $40.00 per share in cash or 2.15 shares of Farmers’ common stock, subject to an overall limitation of 70% of the shares being exchanged for Farmers’ shares and 30% for cash. Based on Farmers’ closing share price of $17.02 on March 23, 2022, the transaction is valued at approximately $105 million, or $37.62 per share. The merger is expected to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for those shareholders electing to receive Farmers’ shares. The transaction is subject to receipt of Emclaire shareholder approval and customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second half of 2022.

William C. Marsh, the current President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Emclaire and Emlenton Bank, will join Farmers as Senior Vice President and as Market President, Pennsylvania, after the merger. Furthermore, Farmers intends to name one director from Emclaire’s board to join its Board of Directors immediately after the merger and appoint the remaining non-employee directors of Emclaire to a newly formed advisory board for the Pennsylvania Region.

Kevin J. Helmick, President and CEO of Farmers, stated, “As we continue to demonstrate Farmers successful track record for executing on M&A, I am pleased to announce our largest acquisition to date. This latest transaction will mark a significant extension into the Pennsylvania markets, which has been a long-time strategy for Farmers. The contiguous expansion will also serve as Farmers’ entrance into the attractive Pittsburgh market and allow us to deliver our robust wealth management and mortgage services to the Emlenton footprint. This latest acquisition will continue to integrate Farmers’ culture into new communities and drive value for our stakeholders.”

Mr. Marsh stated, “We are excited to be joining with The Farmers National Bank of Canfield and believe that the combination will benefit our shareholders, customers and the communities we serve. We are thrilled to be joining such a premier regional banking franchise. We are excited about the new products and services that will be available to our customers and the communities we serve. I believe that this partnership will provide great value for the entire Emclaire family.”

Upon consummation of the transaction, Emlenton Bank will be merged with and into Farmers Bank, with Farmers Bank as the surviving bank, and Emlenton Bank’s branches will become branches of Farmers Bank. Upon closing, Farmers estimates it will have approximately $5.2 billion in assets and 66 locations throughout Ohio and western Pennsylvania.

As of December 31, 2021, Emclaire had $1.1 billion in total assets, $72.4 million in tangible common equity, $790.9 million in gross loans and $918.5 million in total deposits.

Serving Farmers in the transaction are Janney Montgomery Scott LLC as financial advisor and Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP as legal counsel. Serving Emclaire in the transaction are Raymond James & Associates, Inc. as financial advisor and Silver, Freedman, Taff & Tiernan LLP as legal counsel.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not historical facts, but rather statements based on Farmers’ and Emclaire’s current expectations regarding its business strategies

and its intended results and future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends” and similar expressions, as well as any statements related to future expectations of performance or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may.”

Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and actual future results could differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of Farmers’ and Emclaire’s control. Numerous uncertainties, risks, and changes could cause or contribute to Farmers’ or Emclaire’s actual results, performance, and achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause or contribute to these differences include, without limitation, the possibility that the closing of the proposed transaction is delayed or does not occur at all because required regulatory approvals, shareholder approval or other conditions to the transaction are not obtained or satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the transaction are not realized when expected or at all; Farmers’ and Emclaire’s failure to integrate Emclaire and Emlenton Bank with Farmers and Farmers Bank in accordance with expectations; deviations from performance expectations related to Emclaire and Emlenton Bank; diversion of management’s attention on the proposed transaction; general economic conditions in markets where Farmers and Emclaire conduct business, which could materially impact credit quality trends; effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the local, national, and international economy, Farmers’ or Emclaire’s organization and employees, and Farmers’ and Emclaire’s customers and suppliers and their business operations and financial condition; disruptions in the mortgage and lending markets and significant or unexpected fluctuations in interest rates related to COVID-19 and governmental responses, including financial stimulus packages; general business conditions in the banking industry; the regulatory environment; general fluctuations in interest rates; demand for loans in the market areas where Farmers and Emclaire conduct business; rapidly changing technology and evolving banking industry standards; competitive factors, including increased competition with regional and national financial institutions; and new service and product offerings by competitors and price pressures; and other factors disclosed periodically in Farmers’ and Emclaire’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Because of the risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them, whether included in this release or made elsewhere from time to time by Farmers, Emclaire or on Farmers’ or Emclaire’s behalf, respectively. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and neither Farmers nor Emclaire assumes any duty and does not undertake to update forward-looking statements.

EX-99.2

Acquisition of Investor Presentation March 24, 2022 Exhibit 99.2

Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about the financial condition, results of operations, asset quality trends and profitability of Farmers National Banc Corp. (“Farmers”). Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead express only management’s current expectations and forecasts of future events or long-term-goals, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of Farmers’ control. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends” and other similar expressions, as well as any statements related to future expectations of performance or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may.” Farmers’ actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from those indicated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause Farmers’ actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include impacts from COVID-19 pandemic on local, national and global economic conditions; higher default rates on loans made to our customers related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our customers’ operations and financial condition; unexpected changes in interest rates or disruptions in the mortgage markets related to COVID-19 or other responses to the health crisis; and the other factors contained in Farmers’ periodic reports and registration statements, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are available on Farmers’ website (www.farmersbankgroup.com) and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov) . Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and should not be relied upon as representing management’s views as of any subsequent date. Farmers undertakes no obligation to updated forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures include “Core Deposits” and “Tangible Common Equity ratio.” Farmers believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors a more completed understanding of Farmers’ deposit profile and capital. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Because not all companies use the same calculation of “Core Deposits” and “Tangible Common Equity ratio,” this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies.
