Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) During 2018, Mr. Neff completed in-service withdrawals totaling 24,150 common shares from the Horizon ESOP (9,834 common shares) and the Horizon Thrift Plan (14,316 common shares) and moved those shares to a self-directed IRA. As a result, the beneficial ownership of those shares did not change (other than changing from indirect beneficial ownership to direct beneficial ownership), and the above common share totals now reflect the transfer of those shares.
(2) Adjusted to reflect additional shares allocated to the reporting person's benefit plan account after the date of the reporting person's last ownership report.
(3) Each Deferred Stock Unit ("DSU") is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock. The DSU's become payable, in cash or common stock or a combination of the two, at the discretion of Horizon upon the conditions described in the Horizon Bancorp Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (Frozen) and the Horizon Bancorp 2005 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.
