Middlefield locations to host customer appreciation events on September 16, 2021

Middlefield Banc Corp. (NASDAQ: MBCN) is proud to celebrate the 120^th anniversary of The Middlefield Banking Company this year.

The Middlefield Banking Company opened on September 16, 1901, after a group of local businessmen recognized the need for a local bank within the Middlefield community. Since its founding with just $25,000 of capital and one location, Middlefield has expanded throughout Northeast and Central Ohio. Today, Middlefield is one of the largest independent community banks in Ohio serving 10 Ohio counties across 16 branches, an LPL Financial® brokerage office, and a Loan Production Office, with over $1.3 billion in assets at June 30, 2021.

“The Middlefield Banking Company’s success over the past 120 years is a result of our teams’ continued commitment to providing supportive, local, and individualized financial services to our communities,” said Thomas G. Caldwell, Middlefield’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “On behalf of Executive Management and Board of Directors, I want to personally thank our team members for their dedication to delivering high-quality service. We look forward to offering leading financial products and local services to our customers and shareholders for many more years to come.”

In celebration of 120 years, all 16 Middlefield branches are hosting customer appreciation events on Thursday, September 16, 2021. Activities will include food, beverages, giveaways, and raffles.

In conjunction with the anniversary celebration, Middlefield launched a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) promotion that will be available to qualified borrowers through October 31, 2021. The HELOC promotion features a rate of prime minus 0.50% (currently a 2.75% APR), $0 application fee, $0 closing costs, and no annual fee in the first year. The Bank also recently started a Business Equipment Loan Special starting at 2.99% APR for a 3-Year Term.
