Merger Proposal—Your Vote Is Very Important

To the Stockholders of New Windsor Bancorp, Inc.:

         The board of directors of New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. ("New Windsor") invites you to attend a special meeting of stockholders to be held on Tuesday, May 16, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. at New Windsor Fire & Hose Company, Windsor Station, 101 High Street, New Windsor, MD 21776. At the special meeting you will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, as amended (the "reorganization agreement") under which New Windsor will merge into a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACNB Corporation ("ACNB"), with the ACNB subsidiary being the surviving entity. This is referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the "merger." Concurrently with, and pursuant to, the reorganization agreement, New Windsor State Bank, the wholly owned subsidiary of New Windsor, and ACNB Bank, the wholly owned subsidiary of ACNB, entered into a bank plan of merger pursuant to which New Windsor State Bank will merge with and into ACNB Bank, with ACNB Bank as the surviving entity. This is referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the "bank merger."

         If the merger is completed, each share of New Windsor common stock will be converted into the right to receive either 1.10 shares of ACNB common stock or $30.00 in cash. The stock exchange ratio will also be appropriately adjusted if there is a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, common stock reclassification, or other similar event regarding ACNB common stock before completion of the merger. New Windsor stockholders also will receive cash instead of any fractional shares they would have otherwise received in the merger.

         As of November 21, 2016, the last trading day before public announcement of the merger, the total merger consideration was valued at approximately $33.3 million, and as of March 10, 2017, the total merger consideration was valued at approximately $33.3 million.

         You will be able to elect to receive ACNB common stock, cash, or a combination of ACNB common stock and cash for your shares of New Windsor common stock. Regardless of your choice, however, elections will be limited by the requirement that 85% of the total shares of New Windsor common stock be exchanged for ACNB common stock and 15% be exchanged for cash. Therefore, all allocations of New Windsor common stock and cash that you receive will depend on the elections of other New Windsor stockholders. The federal income tax consequences of the merger to you will depend on whether you receive stock, cash or a combination of stock and cash in exchange for your shares of New Windsor common stock. If you do not elect whether to receive stock and/or cash, you will lose the right to elect and will receive the consideration as set forth on page 71. ACNB estimates that it will issue approximately 950,000 shares of ACNB common stock, $2.50 par value per share, in the merger.

         ACNB common stock is quoted on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "ACNB." On March 10, 2017, the closing price of ACNB common stock was $30.30. The price of ACNB common stock will fluctuate between now and the closing of the merger. New Windsor is quoted on the OTC Pink market maintained by OTC Market Groups, Inc. under the symbol "NWID." On March 10, 2017, the closing price of New Windsor common stock was $30.97. The price of New Windsor common stock will fluctuate between now and the closing of the merger. Based on the closing price of ACNB common stock on November 21, 2016, the last trading day before public announcement of the merger, of $30.60, the 1.10 exchange ratio represented approximately $33.66 in value for each share of New Windsor common stock. Based on ACNB's closing price on March 10, 2017, of $30.30, the 1.10 exchange ratio represented approximately $33.33 in value for each share of New Windsor common stock. You are urged to obtain current market quotations for both ACNB and New Windsor common stock.

         New Windsor stockholders have the right under Maryland law to dissent from the merger and to demand and receive a cash payment of a statutorily determined "fair value" of their New Windsor common stock in the event that the merger is consummated. The statutorily determined "fair value" could be more or less than the value of the merger consideration. For more information regarding appraisal rights, refer to "Q: Am I entitled to appraisal rights?" on page 3 and "Proposal 1: The Merger—Appraisal Rights" beginning on page 44.

         After careful consideration, the board of directors of New Windsor has unanimously determined that the merger is in the best interests of stockholders and recommends that New Windsor stockholders vote "FOR" the proposal to approve and adopt the reorganization agreement. The merger requires the receipt of bank regulatory approvals by ACNB and the approval of the reorganization agreement and merger by holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of New Windsor common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting of stockholders. The board of directors of New Windsor strongly supports this strategic combination between ACNB and New Windsor and appreciates your prompt attention to this very important matter.

         All stockholders of New Windsor are invited to attend the special meeting in person. However, whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please take the time to ensure your shares are voted by submitting a proxy, either by following the instructions for internet or telephone submission or by mailing the enclosed proxy card.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, nor any bank regulatory agency, nor any state securities commission
has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this proxy statement/prospectus is truthful or complete.
Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

         The shares of ACNB common stock offered are not savings or deposit accounts or other obligations of either party or any of their banking or other subsidiaries, and they are not insured by any federal or state governmental agency.

         Investing in ACNB common stock involves risks that are described in "Risk Factors" beginning on page 24.

   

         This proxy statement/prospectus is dated [    ·    ], 2017 and is first being mailed to stockholders of New Windsor on or about March 24, 2017.

Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders

        NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting of stockholders of New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. will be held at 10:00 a.m., local time, on Tuesday, May 16, 2017 at New Windsor Fire & Hose Company, Windsor Station, 101 High Street, New Windsor, Maryland 21776, for the following purposes:

        The New Windsor board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the proposal to approve and adopt the reorganization agreement and the merger and "FOR" the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary, as described in detail in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

        Stockholders of record of the New Windsor common stock at the close of business on March 17, 2017 are entitled to vote at the New Windsor special meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting.

        Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. New Windsor cannot complete the merger unless the reorganization agreement is approved and adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of New Windsor common stock entitled to vote at the New Windsor special meeting. If a New Windsor stockholder does not vote by proxy or by attending the New Windsor special meeting of stockholders and voting in person, it will have the same effect as voting against the merger.

Submitting your proxy will not prevent you from voting in person at the special meeting, but it will assure that your vote is counted if you are unable to attend. If you are a stockholder whose shares are registered in street name, you will need to follow the instructions provided by your broker, and you will need additional documentation from your broker in order to vote in person at the special meeting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING AND THE MERGER

Q-1:
WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS DOCUMENT?

A:
You are receiving this document because ACNB and New Windsor signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of November 21, 2016, as amended, which provides, among other things, for the merger of New Windsor with and into a subsidiary of ACNB, and the conversion of each share of New Windsor common stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the merger into 1.10 shares of ACNB common stock or $30.00 in cash, subject to allocation as described in this document. A copy of the reorganization agreement is included in this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

Q-2:
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT?

A:
This document serves as both a proxy statement of New Windsor and a prospectus of ACNB. This document serves as a proxy statement because the New Windsor board of directors is soliciting your proxy for use at the New Windsor special meeting of stockholders called to consider and vote on the reorganization agreement. This document serves as a prospectus because ACNB is issuing shares of ACNB common stock to stockholders of New Windsor in exchange for their shares of New Windsor common stock.

Q-3:
WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE SPECIAL MEETING?

A:
Holders of New Windsor common stock at the close of business on March 17, 2017, the record date for the special meeting, are entitled to receive notice of the special meeting and to vote their shares at the special meeting and any related adjournment or postponement.

Q-4:
WHY IS MY VOTE IMPORTANT?

A:
The reorganization agreement must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of New Windsor common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting. Therefore, the failure of a New Windsor stockholder to vote, by proxy or in person, will have the same effect as a vote against the merger agreement. In addition, if you do not return your proxy card or vote your shares by telephone or over the internet at or before the special meeting, it will be more difficult for New Windsor to obtain the necessary quorum to hold the special meeting and to approve the reorganization agreement.

Q-5:
WHAT ITEMS OF BUSINESS WILL NEW WINDSOR ASK STOCKHOLDERS TO CONSIDER AT THE SPECIAL MEETING?

A:
At the New Windsor special meeting, stockholders are asked to vote in favor of approval and adoption of the reorganization agreement and the merger with ACNB. In addition, stockholders will be asked to vote in favor of a proposal to adjourn or postpone New Windsor's special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if New Windsor has not received sufficient votes to approve and adopt the reorganization agreement at the time of its special meeting.

Q-6:
WHY ARE ACNB AND NEW WINDSOR PROPOSING TO MERGE?

A:
New Windsor believes that the proposed merger will provide New Windsor stockholders with substantial benefits, and ACNB believes that the merger will further its strategic growth plans. As a larger company, ACNB can provide the capital and resources that New Windsor needs to compete more effectively and to offer a broader array of products and services to better serve its customers. The merger also involves certain risks, which are described under "Risk Factors" beginning on page 24.

Table of Contents

Q-7:
WHAT DOES THE NEW WINDSOR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND?

A:
The New Windsor board of directors has approved the reorganization agreement and the merger, and believes that the merger is in the best interests of New Windsor and its stockholders. Accordingly, the New Windsor board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the proposal to approve and adopt the reorganization agreement and the merger and "FOR" the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary.

Q-8:
WHEN IS THE MERGER EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED?

A:
New Windsor and ACNB expect to complete the merger shortly after all of the conditions to the merger are fulfilled, including obtaining the approval of New Windsor stockholders, and the approval of the applicable regulatory agencies. ACNB and New Windsor anticipate this will occur late in the second quarter or early third quarter of 2017. ACNB and New Windsor cannot assure you that they will obtain the necessary New Windsor stockholder approval and regulatory approvals or that the other conditions precedent to the merger can or will be satisfied.

Q-9:
WHAT WILL NEW WINDSOR STOCKHOLDERS RECEIVE IN THE MERGER?

A:
Under the reorganization agreement, each share of New Windsor common stock will be converted into the right to receive either 1.10 shares of ACNB common stock or $30.00 in cash. The stock exchange ratio will also be appropriately adjusted if there is a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, common stock reclassification, or other similar event regarding ACNB common stock before completion of the merger.

You will be able to elect to receive ACNB common stock, cash, or a combination of ACNB common stock and cash for your shares of New Windsor common stock. Regardless of your choice, however, elections will be limited by the requirement that 85% of New Windsor common stock be exchanged for ACNB common stock and 15% be exchanged for cash. Therefore, the allocation of ACNB common stock and cash that you will receive will depend on the elections of other New Windsor stockholders. The allocation of the consideration payable to New Windsor stockholders will not be known until the exchange agent tallies the results of the stock/cash elections made by New Windsor's stockholders. If you do not make an election, the type of consideration you will receive will depend on the consideration elected by other New Windsor stockholders.

ACNB will not issue any fractional shares of common stock. Rather, ACNB will pay cash (without interest) for any fractional share that a New Windsor stockholder would have otherwise be entitled to receive in the merger. See "Proposal 1: The Merger" beginning on page 44.

Q-10:
ARE THERE REGULATORY OR OTHER CONDITIONS TO THE MERGER OCCURRING?

A:
Yes. The merger must be approved, or have approval waived, by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"), and approved by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, and the Commissioner of Financial Regulation for the State of Maryland (the "Maryland Commissioner"). As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, appropriate applications have been filed with these regulatory authorities.

Furthermore, the merger will only be completed if neither ACNB nor New Windsor is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, or obligations under the reorganization agreement. The merger is also subject to the condition that ACNB and New Windsor each receive an opinion from their respective counsel that the merger will be treated as a tax free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the

Table of Contents

Q-11:
WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE MERGER?

A:
New Windsor stockholders must approve and adopt the reorganization agreement in accordance with Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL"), its articles of incorporation and bylaws. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of New Windsor common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting on the record date is necessary to approve and adopt the reorganization agreement.

Q-12:
AM I ENTITLED TO APPRAISAL RIGHTS?

A:
Yes. Maryland law provides you with objecting stockholder's rights of appraisal in the merger. This means that you are legally entitled to receive payment in cash of the fair value of your shares, excluding any appreciation in value that results from the merger. To preserve your rights as an objecting stockholder, you must (i) deliver to New Windsor a written objection to the merger at or before the special meeting of New Windsor stockholders, (ii) not vote in favor of the merger, and (iii) within 20 days of the date that articles of merger are accepted for filing by the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation, make a written demand on ACNB for payment of the fair value of your stock, stating the number and class of shares for which you demand payment. Written objections should be addressed to New Windsor's Corporate Secretary and sent to 222 E. Baltimore Street, Taneytown, Maryland 21787. Your failure to follow exactly the procedures specified under Maryland law will result in the loss of your rights as an objecting stockholder. A copy of the sections of the MGCL pertaining to objecting stockholder's rights of appraisal is provided as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus. See "Proposal 1: The Merger—Appraisal Rights" beginning on page 98.

You also are encouraged to consult with your own legal advisor as to your appraisal rights under Maryland law. Failure to strictly comply with these procedures will result in the loss of these appraisal rights and your ability to receive cash for the fair value of your common stock of New Windsor.

Q-13:
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW?

A:
After you have carefully read these materials, you can submit your proxy by following the internet or telephone instructions included in the following materials and on your proxy card. Alternatively, indicate on the enclosed proxy card how you want to vote your shares of New Windsor. Then sign, date, and mail the proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope as soon as possible so your shares will be represented and voted at the New Windsor special meeting.

Q-14:
SHOULD I SEND IN MY STOCK CERTIFICATES NOW?

A:
No. New Windsor stockholders should not send in their stock certificates at this time. New Windsor stockholders will receive instructions from the exchange agent in the future. See "Proposal 1—The Merger—Terms of the Merger—Election and Exchange Procedures" on page 72.

Please do not send any stock certificates to ACNB, New Windsor, or the exchange agent until you receive instructions.

Table of Contents

Q-15:
HOW WILL MY SHARES BE VOTED?

A:
If you are a stockholder of record and submit a valid proxy, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares of New Windsor common stock at the special meeting as you direct. If you submit a valid proxy but do not indicate how you want your shares voted, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares (i) "FOR" approval of the reorganization agreement, and (ii) "FOR" the proposal, if necessary, to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional votes in favor of the reorganization agreement.

Q-16:
CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I HAVE SUBMITTED MY PROXY?

A:
Yes. There are three ways for you to revoke your proxy and change your vote:

1.
You may submit a later dated proxy before New Windsor's special meeting.

2.
You may revoke your proxy by written notice delivered at any time prior to the vote on the merger, including delivery at the special meeting of stockholders. New Windsor stockholders should deliver this notice to the Corporate Secretary.

3.
You may attend the New Windsor special meeting and vote in person. If you have instructed a broker to vote your shares, you must follow directions received from your broker to change your vote.

Q-17:
WHAT ARE THE MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO NEW WINDSOR STOCKHOLDERS?

A:
The merger is intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the holders of New Windsor common stock generally will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the exchange of shares of New Windsor common stock for shares of ACNB common stock in the merger, except with respect to any cash received in lieu of fractional shares of ACNB common stock. New Windsor stockholders that receive only cash in exchange for their New Windsor common stock will recognize gain or loss on the transaction, and New Windsor stockholders that receive a combination of cash and ACNB common stock in exchange for their shares of New Windsor common stock will typically recognize gain (but not loss) on the transaction. New Windsor stockholders will recognize a gain or loss in connection with cash received in lieu of fractional shares of ACNB common stock. This tax treatment may not apply to all New Windsor stockholders.

It is a condition to the closing of the merger that ACNB receive the opinion of its special counsel, Bybel Rutledge LLP, and that New Windsor receive the opinion of its special counsel, Miles & Stockbridge P.C., substantially to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations, and assumptions set forth or referred to in that opinion (including factual representations contained in certificates of officers of ACNB and New Windsor), the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The condition is waivable, and in such case, ACNB and New Windsor will undertake to recirculate and resolicit if the condition is waived by either party and the change in the tax consequences is material.

ACNB and New Windsor urge you to consult your tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the merger to you. Tax matters are very complicated and, in many cases, tax consequences of the merger will depend on your particular facts and circumstances. See "Proposal 1—The Merger—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger," beginning at page 95.

ACNB stock is quoted on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "ACNB." For more information, visit the ACNB Bank website at www.acnb.com. The information on ACNB's website is not incorporated into this proxy statement/prospectus.

        New Windsor Bancorp, Inc., with assets of $311.1 million as of September 30, 2016, is the holding company for New Windsor State Bank. New Windsor stock is quoted on the OTC Pink market place under the symbol "NWID." For more information, visit the New Windsor website at www.newwindsorbank.com. The information on New Windsor's website is not incorporated into this proxy statement/prospectus.

We propose that New Windsor merge into a wholly owned subsidiary of ACNB (see page 44).

        Under the terms of the reorganization agreement, ACNB will acquire New Windsor by merging New Windsor with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of ACNB. New Windsor will cease to exist as a separate entity. Following the merger, New Windsor State Bank will merge with and into ACNB Bank. The subsidiary surviving the New Windsor merger will also dissolve and liquidate into ACNB, so that all of the assets and liabilities of New Windsor will become assets and liabilities of ACNB. A copy of

the reorganization agreement is attached to this document as Annex A and a copy of the bank plan of merger is attached to the reorganization agreement as Exhibit G.

New Windsor stockholders will receive 1.10 shares of ACNB common stock or $30.00 for each share of New Windsor common stock (see page 70).

        If the merger is completed, each share of New Windsor common stock will be converted into the right to receive either 1.10 shares of ACNB common stock or $30.00 in cash. The stock exchange ratio will also be appropriately adjusted if there is a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, common stock reclassification, or other similar event regarding ACNB common stock before completion of the merger. New Windsor stockholders also will receive cash instead of any fractional shares they would have otherwise received in the merger.

        Each holder of New Windsor common stock will be able to elect to receive ACNB common stock, cash, or a combination of cash and ACNB common stock for his or her shares of New Windsor common stock. Regardless of your choice, however, elections will be limited by the requirement that 85% of the shares of New Windsor common stock be exchanged for ACNB common stock and 15% be exchanged for cash. Therefore, the allocation of ACNB common stock and cash that you receive will depend on the elections of other New Windsor stockholders.

        Immediately following the merger, former New Windsor stockholders are expected to own approximately 13.5% of total outstanding ACNB common stock.

New Windsor's board of directors has received an opinion from its financial advisor regarding the merger consideration to be received by the holders of New Windsor common stock (see page 55).

        In connection with the merger, the board of directors of New Windsor received a written opinion from New Windsor's financial advisor, Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. ("Sandler O'Neill"), as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of such opinion, of the merger consideration to be received by the holders of New Windsor common stock. The full text of the opinion of Sandler O'Neill, dated November 21, 2016, is included in this document as Annex B. New Windsor encourages you to read this opinion carefully in its entirety for a description of the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and limitations of the review undertaken by Sandler O'Neill. The opinion of Sandler O'Neill is directed to New Windsor's board of directors and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how to vote with respect to the merger, what form of consideration to elect in the merger, or any other matter relating to the proposed merger.

New Windsor stockholder vote required (see page 42).

        Approval and Adoption of the Reorganization Agreement.    The affirmative vote, in person or by proxy, of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of New Windsor common stock on the record date is required to approve and adopt the reorganization agreement.

        Discretionary Authority to Adjourn or Postpone the Special Meeting.    In accordance with New Windsor's bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of New Windsor shares represented, in person or by proxy, at the special meeting is required to approve the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the proposal to approve and adopt the reorganization agreement.

        Each holder of shares of New Windsor common stock outstanding on the record date will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record. The vote required for approval and adoption of the reorganization agreement is a percentage of all outstanding shares of New Windsor common stock. Therefore, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the reorganization agreement and the

7


Table of Contents

merger. Brokers who hold New Windsor common stock as nominees on your behalf will not have authority to vote your shares with respect to the reorganization agreement or the merger unless you provide voting instructions in accordance with the directions provided by your broker. Failure to provide your broker with voting instructions will have the same effect as a vote against the reorganization agreement.

New Windsor directors and executive officers have agreed to vote in favor of the merger (see page 93).

        On March 17, 2017, the directors and executive officers of New Windsor had sole or shared voting power over 107,491 shares, or 10.7%, of the outstanding shares of New Windsor common stock. Certain of these directors and executive officers of New Windsor having voting power over 9.2% of the outstanding shares of New Windsor common stock have agreed with ACNB to vote these shares of New Windsor common stock in favor of approving and adopting the reorganization agreement.

New Windsor directors and executive officers may have interests in the merger that differ from your interests (see page 89).

        In considering the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should be aware that New Windsor's directors and executive officers have financial interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of New Windsor stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things:

        None of ACNB's executives and employees will receive change in control related payments or benefits since the merger does not constitute a "change in control" for purposes of ACNB's employment agreements, change in control agreements, equity incentive plan, and the 2009 ACNB Corporation Restricted Stock Plan.

        New Windsor's board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them in approving and recommending the reorganization agreement. These and certain other additional interests of New Windsor's directors and executive officers are described in detail in "Proposal 1—The Merger—

8


Table of Contents

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger," found elsewhere in this document. These circumstances may cause some of New Windsor's directors and executive officers to view the proposed merger differently than you view it.

ACNB and New Windsor must obtain regulatory approval and satisfy other conditions before the merger is complete (see page 87).

        ACNB's and New Windsor's obligations to complete the merger and the bank merger are subject to various conditions that are usual and customary for this kind of transaction. These conditions include obtaining approval from the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, and the Maryland Commissioner. As of the date of this document, appropriate applications for approval have been filed. In addition to the required regulatory approvals, the merger will only be completed if certain conditions are met. See "Proposal 1—The Merger—Terms of the Merger—Conditions to Merger."

Amendment or termination of the reorganization agreement is possible (see page 84).

        ACNB and New Windsor can agree to amend the reorganization agreement in any way, except that, after approval by New Windsor stockholders at its special meeting, ACNB and New Windsor cannot change the amount of merger consideration New Windsor stockholders will receive in the transaction from what is provided in the reorganization agreement.

        ACNB and New Windsor may agree to terminate the reorganization agreement and not complete the merger at any time before the merger is completed. Each company also may unilaterally terminate the reorganization agreement in certain circumstances. This includes, among others, the failure to complete the merger by November 30, 2017, unless the terminating company's breach is the reason the merger has not been completed. See "Proposal 1—The Merger—Terms of the Merger—Termination."

Rights of New Windsor stockholders differ from those of ACNB shareholders (see page 137).

        When the merger is complete, New Windsor stockholders who receive shares of ACNB common stock will become ACNB shareholders by operation of law. The rights of New Windsor stockholders differ from the rights of ACNB shareholders in certain important ways. Many of these differences have to do with provisions in New Windsor's articles of incorporation and bylaws that differ from those of ACNB. See "Comparison of Shareholders' Rights."

Material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger (see page 94).

        The merger is intended to qualify as a tax free "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Accordingly, New Windsor stockholders generally will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the exchange of shares of New Windsor common stock for shares of ACNB common stock in the merger, except with respect to any cash received in lieu of fractional shares of ACNB common stock. New Windsor stockholders that receive only cash in exchange for their New Windsor common stock will recognize gain or loss on the transaction, and New Windsor stockholders that receive a combination of cash and ACNB common stock in exchange for their shares of New Windsor common stock will typically recognize gain (but not loss) on the transaction. New Windsor stockholders will recognize gain or loss in connection with cash received in lieu of fractional shares of ACNB. This tax treatment may not apply to all New Windsor stockholders.

        It is a condition to the closing of the merger that ACNB receive the opinion of its special counsel, Bybel Rutledge LLP, and that New Windsor receive the opinion of its special counsel, Miles & Stockbridge P.C., substantially to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations, and assumptions set forth or referred to in that opinion (including factual representations contained in certificates of officers of ACNB and New Windsor), the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the

9


Table of Contents

meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The condition is waivable, and in such case, ACNB and New Windsor will undertake to recirculate and resolicit if the condition is waived by either party and the change in the tax consequences is material.

        New Windsor and ACNB urge you to consult your tax advisor for a full understanding of the specific tax consequences of the merger to you. Tax matters are very complicated and, in many cases, tax consequences of the merger will depend on your particular facts and circumstances. See "Proposal 1—The Merger—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences," beginning at page 94.

New Windsor stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights (see page 98).

        New Windsor stockholders may object to the merger and, upon complying with the requirements of Maryland law, receive cash in the amount of the fair value of their shares instead of shares of ACNB common stock and/or the cash consideration specified in the reorganization agreement. A copy of the section of the MGCL pertaining to objecting stockholders' rights of appraisal is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus. You should read the statute carefully and consult with your legal counsel if you intend to exercise these rights. The failure to comply with the statute exactly will result in the loss of your rights as an objecting stockholder.

New Windsor offices will maintain the New Windsor name after the merger (see page 83).

        For at least two years after the effective time of the merger, the former New Windsor State Bank branches will operate under the name "NWSB Bank, a division of ACNB Bank" unless the board of directors of ACNB shall determine otherwise upon approval of at least 80% of the ACNB board in connection with an acquisition of a Maryland bank or the acquisition of ACNB.

Market Price and Dividend Information

        A substantial source of ACNB's income from which it can pay dividends is the receipt of dividends from ACNB Bank. The availability of dividends from ACNB Bank is limited by various statutes and regulations. It also is possible, depending on the financial condition of ACNB Bank, and other factors, that the applicable regulatory authorities could assert that payment of dividends or other payments is an unsafe or unsound banking practice. In the event that ACNB Bank is unable to pay dividends to ACNB, ACNB may not be able to pay dividends on its common stock. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, ACNB has no such restrictions.

        New Windsor reinstated the payment of a cash dividend in the first quarter of 2015. There can be no assurance that future earnings will be sufficient to allow New Windsor to maintain or increase the amount of the cash dividend. New Windsor State Bank is the primary operating subsidiary of New Windsor and the source of earnings from which a dividend may be paid. Future dividend payments will depend largely upon the ability of New Windsor State Bank to declare and pay dividends to New Windsor. Payment of dividends on New Windsor common stock will therefore depend upon New Windsor State Bank's earnings, financial condition, and need for funds, as well as governmental policies and regulations applicable to New Windsor and New Windsor State Bank.

        Under Maryland law, dividends may only be paid out of retained earnings. State and federal bank regulatory agencies also have authority to prohibit a bank from paying dividends if such payment is deemed to be an unsafe or unsound practice, and the Federal Reserve Board has the same authority over bank holding companies. At December 31, 2016, New Windsor State Bank could pay dividends to New Windsor to the extent of its retained earnings so long as it maintained required capital ratios.

        The Federal Reserve Board has established requirements with respect to the maintenance of appropriate levels of capital by registered bank holding companies. Compliance with such standards, as presently in effect, or as they may be amended from time to time, could possibly limit the amount of dividends that New Windsor may pay in the future. In 1985, the Federal Reserve Board issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies. In the statement, the Federal Reserve Board expressed its view that a holding company experiencing earnings weaknesses should not pay cash dividends exceeding its net income, or which could only be funded in ways that weaken the holding company's financial health, such as by borrowing. As a depository institution, the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, the Bank may not pay dividends or distribute any of its capital assets while it remains in default on any assessment due the FDIC. New Windsor State Bank currently is not in default under any of its obligations to the FDIC.

        On November 21, 2016, the last full trading day before the public announcement of the execution of the reorganization agreement, and on                , 2017, the latest practicable trading day before the printing of this document, the high, low and closing sales prices for New Windsor common stock were as follows:

        Pursuant to the reorganization agreement, ACNB and New Windsor have agreed to coordinate with one another with respect to regular quarterly dividends to ensure that holders of New Windsor common stock do not receive two dividends, or fail to receive one dividend, for any quarter with respect to their shares of New Windsor common stock and any shares of ACNB common stock received in the merger.

COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA

        Presented below for ACNB and New Windsor are comparative historical and unaudited pro forma equivalent per share financial data as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, and as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The information presented below should be read together with the historical consolidated financial statements of ACNB and New Windsor, including the related notes. The New Windsor financial statements are included in this proxy statement/prospectus beginning at page F-1. The ACNB financial statements are incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. See "Where You Can Find More Information" on page 149.

        The unaudited pro forma information gives effect to the merger as if the merger had been effective on December 31, 2015 or September 30, 2016 in the case of the book value data, and as if the merger had been effective as of January 1, 2015 in the case of the earnings per share and the cash dividends data. The unaudited pro forma data combines the historical results of New Windsor into ACNB's consolidated financial statements. While certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what could have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2015.

        The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that ACNB and New Windsor management believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma data, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the impact of factors that may result as a consequence of the merger or consider any potential impacts of current market conditions or the merger on revenues, expense efficiencies or asset dispositions, among other factors, nor the impact of possible business model changes. As a result, unaudited pro forma data are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not represent an attempt to predict or suggest future results. Upon completion of the merger, the operating results of New Windsor will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of ACNB on a prospective basis.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

        The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting, giving effect to the merger. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition combines the historical information of ACNB and of New Windsor as of September 30, 2016 and assumes that the merger was completed on that date. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income combine the historical financial information of ACNB and of New Windsor and give effect to the merger as if it had been completed as of January 1, 2015. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of income or financial condition had the merger been completed on the date described above, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of income in future periods or the future financial condition and results of income of the combined entities. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Information. Certain reclassifications have been made to New Windsor's historical financial information in order to conform to ACNB's presentation of financial information.

        The actual value of ACNB's common stock to be recorded as consideration in the merger will be based on the value as of the closing date of the merger. The proposed merger is targeted for completion in either late in the second or early third quarter of 2017. There can be no assurance that the merger will be completed as anticipated. For purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Information, the fair value of ACNB's common stock to be issued in connection with the merger was based on ACNB's closing stock price of $30.15 as of January 12, 2017.

        The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Information includes estimated adjustments, including adjustments to record New Windsor's assets and liabilities at their respective fair values, and represents ACNB's pro forma estimates based on available fair value information as of the date of the reorganization agreement.

        The pro forma adjustments are subject to change depending on changes in interest rates and the components of assets and liabilities and as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The final allocation of the purchase price for the merger will be determined after it is completed and after completion of thorough analyses to determine the fair value of New Windsor's tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the date the merger is completed. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets as compared with the information shown in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Information may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact ACNB's statement of income due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities. Any changes to New Windsor's stockholders' equity, including results of operations from September 30, 2016 through the date the merger is completed, will also change the purchase price allocation, which may include the recording of a lower or higher amount of goodwill. The final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein.

        We anticipate that the merger will provide the combined company with financial benefits that include reduced operating expenses. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings or opportunities to earn additional revenue and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies been combined during these periods.

Assumes that the merger was completed as of September 30, 2016 utilizing the acquisition method of accounting.

    management, as of the merger completion date. Such actual fair value adjustments are sensitive to changes in interest rates and credit quality and will vary from management's current estimates.

(1)
The adjustment includes cash consideration of $4.6 million paid to New Windsor stockholders, and approximately $685 thousand paid to New Windsor executives in connection with change of control arrangements. Additionally, it is assumed that cash and cash equivalents will be used to pay $5.04 million for one-time merger expenses related to New Windsor (which includes the compensation paid to New Windsor executives) and approximately $844 thousand for other one-time merger expenses of ACNB.

The pro forma adjustment of $8.177 million includes a negative $7.821 million credit component and a negative $356 thousand interest component. Of the $5.283 million general credit component, all $5.283 million will be amortized or accreted into income. Of the $2.538 million specific credit component, $1.878 million will be non-amortizing and $660 thousand will be amortized or accreted into income.

(4)
Represents the recognition of the fair value of the core deposit intangible asset, which is assumed to be 0.76% of core deposit liabilities assumed. Core deposits are defined as total deposits less time deposits. The Core Deposit intangible has a weighted average remaining useful life of 10 years and is being amortized into income using the level yield method.

(5)
Calculated to reflect the acquisition accounting adjustments related to the merger. The consideration paid to acquire New Windsor consists of cash of $4.56 million and the issuance of 947,232 shares of ACNB common stock based upon the fixed exchange rate of 1.10 applied to 861,120 of the 1,013,082 shares of New Windsor common stock outstanding as of the effective time of the merger. As of September 30, 2016, there were 1,004,391 shares of New Windsor common stock outstanding. An additional 8,691 shares of New Windsor common stock will be issued or have been issued pursuant to the terms of New Windsor's various stock plans. Acquisition accounting adjustments assume that New Windsor's stockholders' equity is eliminated and the purchase price, goodwill and intangible assets are reflected on the ACNB's financial statements pursuant to the application of acquisition accounting.

The resulting premiums and discounts for purposes of the unaudited combined condensed consolidated pro forma financial data, are being amortized and accreted into income over the estimated remaining lives of the respective assets and liabilities using the level yield method. The estimated weighted average remaining useful lives of time deposits is 2.5 years and the weighted average remaining useful life of the core deposit intangible is 10 years.

Other expenses do not reflect anticipated costs savings. Other expenses also do not include one-time merger and integration expenses to be incurred by ACNB and New Windsor. Those amounts, on a pre-tax basis, total approximately $5.9 million. The remaining costs to be incurred by ACNB and New Windsor are not included in Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Information net income. ACNB expects to incur approximately $774,325, on an after-tax basis, in other transaction costs as a result of the proposed merger. Through September 30, 2016, pre-tax transaction costs of $84,000 have been recognized by ACNB. New Windsor did not recognize any pre-transaction costs prior to September 30, 2016. A summary of ACNB's estimated other transaction costs is as follows:

Professional fees

  $ 802,694  

Other merger related expenses

    40,813  

Estimated pre-tax transaction costs

    843,507  

Less related tax benefit

    69,182  

Estimated transaction costs, net of taxes

  $ 774,325  

    Professional fees include investment banking, legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses associated with the merger. Other merger related expenses include printing, mailing, integration, and other expenses. The foregoing estimates may be refined after the completion of the merger.

Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were determined by adding the number of shares issuable to New Windsor's stockholders to ACNB's historical weighted average basic and diluted outstanding common shares. The stock consideration paid to New Windsor's stockholders consists of the issuance of 947,232 shares of ACNB's common stock based upon the fixed exchange rate of 1.10 applied to 861,120 of the 1,013,082 shares of common stock that will be outstanding at the time of the merger.

For the September 30, 2016 Pro Forma Statement of Income, the adjustment represents the elimination of the actual, out of pocket, due diligence and merger-related expenses totaling $84,000, primarily professional fees incurred in the third quarter of 2016 by ACNB and $0 incurred by New Windsor; and the amortization of the core deposit intangible at $177,000. For the December 31, 2015 Pro Forma Statement of Income, the adjustment represents the amortization of the core deposit intangible at $262,000 as there were no actual due diligence and merger-related expenses in 2015.

RISK FACTORS

        In addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed in "A Warning About Forward-Looking Information," on page 41, New Windsor stockholders should carefully consider the matters described below to determine whether to approve and adopt the reorganization agreement. You should read these risk factors together with the risk factors contained in ACNB's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and any changes to those risk factors included in ACNB's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, or other documents filed with the SEC, after the date of the Form 10-K.

Risks Relating to the Merger

Because the market price of ACNB common stock will fluctuate, New Windsor stockholders cannot be sure of the trading price of the merger consideration they will receive.

        Upon completion of the merger, each share of New Windsor common stock will be converted into the right to receive merger consideration consisting of shares of ACNB common stock and/or cash pursuant to the reorganization agreement. The exchange ratio in the reorganization agreement will not be adjusted in the event of any change in the stock prices of ACNB or New Windsor prior to the merger. However, in the event that a significant decline in ACNB's stock price occurs that is greater than the relative decline in the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index, New Windsor may determine to terminate the reorganization agreement. There also will be a period of time between the date when stockholders of New Windsor vote on the reorganization agreement and the date when the merger is completed. The relative prices of ACNB and New Windsor common stock may vary between the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the date of the special meeting, and the date of completion of the merger. The market price of ACNB and New Windsor common stock may change as a result of a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in its business, operations and prospects, and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond the control of ACNB or New Windsor and are not necessarily related to a change in the financial performance or condition of ACNB or New Windsor. As ACNB and New Windsor market share prices fluctuate, based on numerous factors, the value of the shares of ACNB common stock that a New Windsor stockholder will receive will correspondingly fluctuate. It is impossible to predict accurately the market price of ACNB common stock after completion of the merger. Accordingly, the prices of ACNB and New Windsor common stock on the date of the New Windsor special meeting may not be indicative of their prices immediately prior to completion of the merger and the price of ACNB common stock after the merger is completed. ACNB urges you to obtain current market quotations for ACNB common stock. See "Summary—Market Price and Dividend Information."

The combined company will incur significant transaction and merger-related costs in connection with the merger.

        ACNB and New Windsor expect to incur costs associated with combining the operations of the two companies. ACNB and New Windsor have begun collecting information in order to formulate detailed integration plans to deliver planned synergies. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration of the businesses of ACNB and New Windsor. Whether or not the merger is consummated, ACNB and New Windsor will incur substantial expenses, such as legal, accounting, printing, contract termination fees, and financial advisory fees, in pursuing the merger. Although ACNB and New Windsor expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may offset incremental transaction and merger-related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all.

24


Table of Contents

Some of the conditions to closing of the merger may result in delay or prevent completion of the merger, which may adversely affect the value of ACNB's and New Windsor's securities.

        Completion of the merger is conditioned upon the receipt of certain governmental consents and approvals, including consents and approvals required by the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities and the Maryland Commissioner. Failure to obtain these consents would prevent consummation of the merger. Even if the approvals are obtained, the effort involved may delay consummation of the merger. Governmental authorities may also impose conditions in connection with the merger that may adversely affect the combined company's operations after the merger. However, neither ACNB nor New Windsor is required to take any action or agree to any condition or restriction in connection with obtaining any approvals that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on New Windsor, ACNB or the combined company.

The merger may distract ACNB's and New Windsor's management teams from their other responsibilities.

        The merger could cause the management of the companies to focus their time and energies on matters related to the merger that otherwise would be directed to the companies' business and operations. Any such distraction on the part of management, if significant, could affect management's ability to service existing business and develop new business and adversely affect the combined company's business and earnings following the merger.

New Windsor directors and executive officers may have interests in the merger that differ from your interests.

        In considering the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should be aware that New Windsor's directors and executive officers have financial and other interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of New Windsor stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things:

        New Windsor's board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them in approving and recommending the reorganization agreement. These circumstances may cause some of New Windsor's directors and executive officers to view the proposed merger differently than you view it.

25


Table of Contents

        These and certain other additional interests of New Windsor's directors and executive officers are described in detail in "Proposal 1—The Merger—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger," found elsewhere in this document.

The fairness opinion received by the board of directors of New Windsor from its financial advisor prior to the execution of the reorganization agreement will not reflect changes in circumstances after the date of the fairness opinion.

        Sandler O'Neill, New Windsor's financial advisor in connection with the merger, delivered to the board of directors of New Windsor, its fairness opinion on November 21, 2016. New Windsor stockholders should be aware that the opinion does not speak as of any date other than November 21, 2016. The opinion does not reflect changes that may occur or may have occurred after the date of such opinion, including changes to the operations and prospects of ACNB or New Windsor, changes in general market and economic conditions or regulatory or other factors. Any such changes, or changes in other factors beyond the control of ACNB and New Windsor, may materially alter or affect the value of ACNB or New Windsor or the sale prices of shares of ACNB common stock and New Windsor common stock.

The unaudited pro forma financial data included in this proxy statement/prospectus are for illustrative purposes, and based upon preliminary estimates, and ACNB's actual financial position and results of operations after the merger may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial data included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

        The unaudited pro forma financial data in this proxy statement/prospectus are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not indicative of what the combined company's actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the merger been completed on the dates indicated. The pro forma financial data reflect adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to record ACNB's identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value and the resulting goodwill recognized. The purchase price allocation reflected in this document is preliminary, and final allocation of the purchase price will be based upon the actual purchase price and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of ACNB as of the date of the completion of the merger. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments may differ materially from the pro forma adjustments reflected in this document.

After the merger is complete, New Windsor stockholders will become ACNB shareholders and will have different rights than their current rights.

        Upon completion of the merger, New Windsor stockholders will become ACNB shareholders. New Windsor is incorporated in Maryland and ACNB is incorporated in Pennsylvania. Differences in state law as well as New Windsor's articles of incorporation and bylaws and ACNB's articles of incorporation and bylaws will result in changes to the rights of New Windsor stockholders who become ACNB shareholders. For more information, see "Comparison of Shareholders' Rights," beginning on page 137. Stockholders of New Windsor may conclude that their current rights under New Windsor's articles of incorporation and bylaws are more advantageous than the rights they may have as an ACNB shareholder under ACNB's articles of incorporation and bylaws.

If the merger is not completed, New Windsor will have incurred substantial expenses without realizing the expected benefits.

        New Windsor will incur substantial expenses in connection with the merger. The completion of the merger depends on the satisfaction of specified conditions and the receipt of regulatory approvals. New Windsor cannot guarantee that these conditions will be met. If the merger is not completed, these

26


Table of Contents

expenses could have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of New Windsor because it would not have realized the expected benefits from the merger.

        In addition, if the merger is not completed, New Windsor may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from its customers and employees. New Windsor also could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the merger or to enforcement proceedings commenced against New Windsor to perform its obligations under the reorganization agreement. If the merger is not completed, New Windsor cannot assure its stockholders that the risks described above will not materialize and will not materially affect the business, financial results and stock price of New Windsor.

Failure to complete the merger could negatively affect the market price of New Windsor's common stock.

        If the merger is not completed for any reason, New Windsor will be subject to a number of material risks, including the following:

The reorganization agreement limits the ability of New Windsor to pursue alternatives to the merger.

        The reorganization agreement contains "no shop" provisions that, subject to specified exceptions, limit the ability of New Windsor to solicit, encourage, discuss, recommend or commit to alternative acquisition proposals, as well as a termination fee that is payable by New Windsor under certain circumstances. These provisions might discourage potential competing transaction partners that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of New Windsor from considering or proposing that acquisition even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share market price than that proposed in the merger, or might result in a potential competing transaction partner proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire New Windsor than it might otherwise have proposed to pay.

Failure to complete the merger in certain circumstances could require New Windsor to pay a termination fee.

        If the merger should fail to occur in certain circumstances that relate to a possible combination of New Windsor with another acquirer, New Windsor may be obligated to pay ACNB $1.3 million as a termination fee. See "Proposal 1—The Merger—Terms of the Merger—Termination Fee."

Risks Relating to ACNB and Its Business

Post-merger integration and change of ACNB's historical business model may fail to achieve expected results.

        The success of the transaction depends heavily on a smooth integration and post-merger operations of the combined ACNB Bank. Benefits of the transaction to shareholders may not be realized if the post-merger integration is not well executed or well received by each company's historical customers.

27


Table of Contents

ACNB may fail to realize the cost savings it expects to achieve from the merger.

        The success of the merger will depend, in part, on ACNB's ability to realize the estimated cost savings from combining the businesses of ACNB and New Windsor. While ACNB believes that the cost savings estimates are achievable, it is possible that the potential cost savings could be more difficult to achieve than ACNB anticipates. ACNB's cost savings estimates also depend on its ability to combine the businesses of ACNB and New Windsor in a manner that permits those cost savings to be realized. If ACNB's estimates are incorrect or it is unable to combine the two companies successfully, the anticipated cost savings may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.

Combining ACNB and New Windsor may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected.

        ACNB and New Windsor have operated, and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently. The integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company's ongoing business, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect either company's ability to maintain relationships with clients and employees or achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger. As with any merger of financial institutions, there also may be disruptions that cause ACNB and New Windsor to lose customers or cause customers to withdraw their deposits from ACNB or New Windsor, or other unintended consequences that could have a material adverse effect on ACNB's results of operations or financial condition.

Changes in interest rates could adversely impact ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

        ACNB's earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon its net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed funds. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond ACNB's control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Federal Reserve Board. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the amount of interest ACNB receives on loans and securities and the amount of interest it pays on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also affect (i) ACNB's ability to originate loans and obtain deposits, (ii) the fair value of ACNB's financial assets and liabilities, and (iii) the average duration of ACNB's mortgage-backed securities portfolio. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, ACNB's net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and other investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings.

        Although management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management strategies to reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on ACNB's results of operations, any substantial, unexpected or prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

If ACNB has higher loan losses than it has allowed for, ACNB's earnings could materially decrease.

        ACNB maintains an allowance for loan losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, that represents management's best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of the allowance reflects management's continuing evaluation of the following: industry concentrations; specific credit risks; loan loss experience; current loan portfolio quality; present economic, political and regulatory conditions; and, unidentified losses inherent in the current loan

28


Table of Contents

portfolio. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires ACNB to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Changes in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans, and other factors, both within and outside of ACNB's control, may require an increase in the allowance for loan losses. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review ACNB's allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. Further, if charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance for loan losses, ACNB will need additional provisions to increase the allowance for loan losses. Any increases in the allowance for loan losses will result in a decrease in net income, and possibly capital, and may have a material adverse effect on ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

A new accounting standard will likely require us to increase our allowance for loan losses and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

        The Financial Accounting Standards Board has adopted a new accounting standard that will be effective for the ACNB and ACNB Bank after December 15, 2019. This standard, referred to as Current Expected Credit Loss, or CECL, will require financial institutions to determine periodic estimates of lifetime expected credit losses on loans, and recognize the expected credit losses as allowances for loan losses. This will change the current method of providing allowances for loan losses that are probable, which would likely require us to increase our allowance for loan losses, and to greatly increase the types of data we would need to collect and review to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses. Any increase in our allowance for loan losses or expenses incurred to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Competition from other financial institutions may adversely affect ACNB's profitability.

        ACNB's banking subsidiary faces substantial competition in originating both commercial and consumer loans. This competition comes principally from other banks, credit unions, mortgage banking companies, and other lenders. Many of its competitors enjoy advantages, including greater financial resources with higher lending limits, wider geographic presence, more branch office locations, the ability to offer a wider array of services or more favorable pricing alternatives, and lower origination and operating costs. This competition could reduce ACNB's net income by decreasing the number and size of loans that its banking subsidiary originates and the interest rates it may charge on these loans.

        In attracting business and consumer deposits, its banking subsidiary faces substantial competition from other insured depository institutions such as banks, savings institutions, and credit unions, as well as institutions offering uninsured investment alternatives, including money market funds. Many of ACNB's competitors enjoy advantages, including greater financial resources, wider geographic presence, more aggressive marketing campaigns, better brand recognition, more branch office locations, the ability to offer a wider array of services or more favorable pricing alternatives, and lower origination and operating costs. These competitors may offer higher interest rates than ACNB, which could decrease the deposits that it attracts or require it to increase its rates to retain existing deposits or attract new deposits. Increased deposit competition could adversely affect the subsidiary's ability to generate the funds necessary for lending operations. As a result, it may need to seek other sources of funds that may be more expensive to obtain and could increase its cost of funds.

        ACNB's banking subsidiary also competes with nonbank providers of financial services, such as brokerage firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, insurance agencies, and governmental organizations which may offer more favorable terms. Some of its nonbank competitors are not subject to the same extensive regulations that govern ACNB's banking operations. As a result, such nonbank

29


Table of Contents

competitors may have advantages over ACNB's banking subsidiary in providing certain products and services. This competition may reduce or limit ACNB's margins on banking services, reduce its market share, and adversely affect its earnings and financial condition.

The Basel III capital requirements may require ACNB to maintain higher levels of capital, which could reduce ACNB's profitability.

        Basel III targets higher levels of base capital, certain capital buffers, and a migration toward common equity as the key source of regulatory capital. Although the new capital requirements are phased in over the next decade and may change substantially before final implementation, Basel III signals a growing effort by domestic and international bank regulatory agencies to require financial institutions, including depository institutions, to maintain higher levels of capital. The direction of the Basel III implementation activities or other regulatory viewpoints could require additional capital to support ACNB's business risk profile prior to final implementation of the Basel III standards. If ACNB and the subsidiary bank are required to maintain higher levels of capital, ACNB and the subsidiary bank may have fewer opportunities to invest capital into interest-earning assets, which could limit the profitable business operations available to ACNB and the subsidiary bank and adversely impact ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

ACNB's operations of its business, including its transactions with customers, are increasingly done via electronic means, and this has increased its risks related to cybersecurity.

        ACNB is exposed to the risk of cyber-attacks in the normal course of business. In addition, ACNB is exposed to cyber-attacks on vendors and merchants that affect ACNB and its customers. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. ACNB has observed an increased level of attention in the industry focused on cyber-attacks that include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. To combat against these attacks, policies and procedures are in place to prevent or limit the effect of the possible security breach of its information systems. While ACNB maintains insurance coverage that may, subject to policy terms and conditions including significant self-insured deductibles, cover certain aspects of cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses. While ACNB has not incurred any material losses related to cyber-attacks, nor is it aware of any specific or threatened cyber incidents as of the date of this report, it may incur substantial costs and suffer other negative consequences if it falls victim to successful cyber-attacks. Such negative consequences could include remediation costs that may include liability for stolen assets or information and repairing system damage that may have been caused; deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees, and engaging third-party experts and consultants; lost revenues resulting from unauthorized use of proprietary information or the failure to retain or attract customers following an attack; disruption or failures of physical infrastructure, operating systems or networks that support ACNB's business and customers resulting in the loss of customers and business opportunities; additional regulatory scrutiny and possible regulatory penalties; litigation; and, reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence.

30


Table of Contents

ACNB's controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

        Management regularly reviews and updates ACNB's internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, as well as corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of ACNB's controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

ACNB's ability to pay dividends depends primarily on dividends from its banking subsidiary, which are subject to regulatory limits and the banking subsidiary's performance.

        ACNB is a financial holding company and its operations are conducted by its subsidiaries. Its ability to pay dividends depends on its receipt of dividends from its subsidiaries. Dividend payments from its banking subsidiary are subject to legal and regulatory limitations, generally based on net profits and retained earnings, imposed by the various banking regulatory agencies. The ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends is also subject to their profitability, financial condition, capital expenditures, and other cash flow requirements. There is no assurance that its subsidiaries will be able to pay dividends in the future or that ACNB will generate adequate cash flow to pay dividends in the future. ACNB's failure to pay dividends on its common stock could have a material adverse effect on the market price of its common stock.

ACNB's profitability depends significantly on economic conditions in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of Maryland.

        ACNB's success depends primarily on the general economic conditions of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the State of Maryland, and the specific local markets in which ACNB operates. Unlike larger national or other regional banks that are more geographically diversified, ACNB provides banking and financial services to customers primarily in the southcentral Pennsylvania and northern Maryland region of the country. The local economic conditions in these areas have a significant impact on the demand for ACNB's products and services, as well as the ability of ACNB's customers to repay loans, the value of the collateral securing the loans, and the stability of ACNB's deposit funding sources. A significant decline in general economic conditions caused by inflation, recession, acts of terrorism, outbreak of hostilities or other international or domestic occurrences, unemployment, changes in securities markets, or other factors could impact these local economic conditions and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

The earnings of financial services companies are significantly affected by general business and economic conditions.

        ACNB's operations and profitability are impacted by general business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, money supply, political issues, legislative and regulatory changes, fluctuations in both debt and equity capital markets, broad trends in industry and finance, and the strength of the U.S. economy and the local economies in which ACNB operates, all of which are beyond ACNB's control. Deterioration in economic conditions could result in an increase in loan delinquencies and non-performing assets, decreases in loan collateral values, and a decrease in demand for ACNB's products and services, among other things, any of which could have a material adverse impact on ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

31


Table of Contents

        The regulatory environment for the financial services industry is being significantly impacted by financial regulatory reform initiatives in the United States and elsewhere, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or Dodd-Frank, and regulations promulgated to implement it.

        Dodd-Frank, which was signed into law on July 21, 2010, comprehensively reforms the regulation of financial institutions, products and services. Dodd-Frank requires various federal regulatory agencies to implement numerous rules and regulations. Because the federal agencies are granted broad discretion in drafting these rules and regulations, many of the details and the impact of Dodd-Frank may not be known for many months or years.

        While much of how the Dodd-Frank and other financial industry reforms will change ACNB's current business operations depends on the specific regulatory reforms and interpretations, many of which have yet to be released or finalized, it is clear that the reforms, both under Dodd-Frank and otherwise, will have a significant effect on the entire industry. Although Dodd-Frank and other reforms will affect a number of the areas in which ACNB does business, it is not clear at this time the full extent of the adjustments that will be required and the extent to which ACNB will be able to adjust its businesses in response to the requirements. Although it is difficult to predict the magnitude and extent of these effects at this stage, ACNB believes compliance with Dodd-Frank and implementing its regulations and initiatives will negatively impact revenue and increase the cost of doing business, both in terms of transition expenses and on an ongoing basis, and it may also limit ACNB's ability to pursue certain business opportunities.

New lines of business or new products and services may subject ACNB to additional risks.

        From time to time, ACNB may implement new lines of business or offer new products and services within existing lines of business. There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the markets are not fully developed. In developing and marketing new lines of business and/or new products and services, ACNB may invest significant time and resources. Initial timetables for the introduction and development of new lines of business and/or new products or services may not be achieved and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External factors, such as compliance with regulations, competitive alternatives, and shifting market preferences, may also impact the successful implementation of a new line of business and/or a new product or service. Furthermore, any new line of business and/or new product or service could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of ACNB's system of internal controls. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of new lines of business and new products or services could have a material adverse effect on ACNB's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

ACNB may not be able to attract and retain skilled people.

        ACNB's success depends, in large part, on its ability to attract and retain key people. Competition for the best people in most activities engaged in by ACNB can be intense, and ACNB may not be able to hire people or to retain them. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of ACNB's key personnel could have a material adverse impact on ACNB's business because the Corporation would no longer have the benefit of their skills, knowledge of ACNB's market, as well as years of industry experience, and it would be difficult to promptly find qualified replacement personnel. ACNB currently has employment agreements, including covenants not to compete, with the following named executive officers: its President & Chief Executive Officer; Executive Vice President, Secretary & Chief Governance Officer; Executive Vice President, Treasurer & Chief Financial Officer; the President of ACNB Bank; and, the President & Chief Executive Officer of Russell Insurance Group, Inc.

ACNB is subject to claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility.

        From time to time, customers make claims and take legal action pertaining to ACNB's performance of its fiduciary responsibilities. Whether customer claims and legal action related to ACNB's performance of its fiduciary responsibilities are founded or unfounded, if such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to ACNB, they may result in significant financial liability and/or adversely affect the market perception of ACNB and its products and services, as well as impact customer demand for those products and services. Any financial liability or reputation damage could have a material adverse effect on ACNB's business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

The trading volume in ACNB's common stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies.

        ACNB's common stock trades on NASDAQ, and the trading volume in its common stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of ACNB's common stock at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which ACNB has no control. Given the lower trading volume of ACNB's common stock, significant sales of ACNB's common stock, and the expectation of these sales, could cause ACNB's stock price to fall.

ACNB operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in federal, state and local laws and regulations.

        ACNB, primarily through its banking subsidiary, is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and/or examination by federal and state banking authorities. Any change in applicable regulations or federal, state or local legislation could have a substantial impact on ACNB and its operations. Additional legislation and regulations that could significantly affect ACNB's powers, authority and operations may be enacted or adopted in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations. Further, regulators have significant discretion and authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of laws by banks and bank and financial holding companies in the performance of their supervisory and enforcement duties. The exercise of regulatory authority may have a negative impact on ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

        Like other financial holding companies and financial institutions, ACNB must comply with significant anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws. Under these laws, ACNB is required, among other things, to enforce a customer identification program and file currency transaction and suspicious activity reports with the federal government. Government agencies have substantial discretion to impose significant monetary penalties on institutions which fail to comply with these laws or make required reports. While ACNB has policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations, there can be no assurance that such violations will not occur.

The soundness of other financial institutions may adversely affect ACNB.

        Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, or other relationships. ACNB has exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and routinely executes transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including commercial banks, brokers and dealers, investment banks, and institutional clients. Many of these transactions expose ACNB to credit risk in the event of a default by a counterparty or client. In addition, ACNB's credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by ACNB cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the credit exposure due to ACNB. Any such losses could have a material adverse effect on ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

33


Table of Contents

Market volatility may have materially adverse effects on ACNB's liquidity and financial condition.

        The capital and credit markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruption. Over the last several years, in some cases, the markets have exerted downward pressure on stock prices, security prices, and credit capacity for certain issuers without regard to those issuers' underlying financial strength. If the market disruption and volatility returns, there can be no assurance that ACNB will not experience adverse effects, which may be material, on its liquidity, financial condition, and profitability.

ACNB may need or be compelled to raise additional capital in the future which could dilute shareholders or be unavailable when needed or at unfavorable terms.

        ACNB's regulators or market conditions may require it to increase its capital levels. If ACNB raises capital through the issuance of additional shares of its common stock or other securities, it would likely dilute the ownership interests of current investors and would likely dilute the per share book value and earnings per share of its common stock. Furthermore, it may have an adverse impact on ACNB's stock price. New investors may also have rights, preferences and privileges senior to ACNB's current shareholders, which may adversely impact its current shareholders. ACNB's ability to raise additional capital will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside its control, and on its financial performance. Accordingly, ACNB cannot be assured of its ability to raise additional capital on terms and time frames acceptable to it or to raise additional capital at all. If ACNB cannot raise additional capital in sufficient amounts when needed, its ability to comply with regulatory capital requirements could be materially impaired. Additionally, the inability to raise capital in sufficient amounts may adversely affect ACNB's operations, financial condition, and results of operations.

ACNB's future acquisitions could dilute shareholder ownership and may cause it to become more susceptible to adverse economic events.

        ACNB may use its common stock to acquire other companies or make investments in banks and other complementary businesses in the future. ACNB may issue additional shares of common stock to pay for future acquisitions, which would dilute current investors' ownership interest in ACNB. Future business acquisitions could be material to ACNB, and the degree of success achieved in acquiring and integrating these businesses into ACNB could have a material effect on the value of ACNB's common stock. In addition, any acquisition could require it to use substantial cash or other liquid assets or to incur debt. In those events, ACNB could become more susceptible to economic downturns and competitive pressures.

Pennsylvania business corporation law and various anti-takeover provisions under ACNB's articles could impede the takeover of ACNB.

        Various Pennsylvania laws affecting business corporations may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire ACNB, even if the acquisition would be advantageous to shareholders. In addition, ACNB has various anti-takeover measures in place under its articles of incorporation and bylaws, including a supermajority vote requirement for mergers, a staggered board of directors, and the absence of cumulative voting. Any one or more of these measures may impede the takeover of ACNB without the approval of the board of directors and may prevent shareholders from taking part in a transaction in which they could realize a premium over the current market price of ACNB common stock.

If ACNB concludes that the decline in value of any of its investment securities is an other-than-temporary impairment, ACNB is required to write down the value of that security through a charge to earnings.

        ACNB reviews its investment securities portfolio at each quarter-end to determine whether the fair value is below the current carrying value. When the fair value of any of its investment securities has declined below its carrying value, ACNB is required to assess whether the decline is an other-than-temporary impairment. If ACNB determines that the decline is an other-than-temporary impairment, it is required to write down the value of that security through a charge to earnings for credit related impairment. Non-credit related reductions in the value of a security do not require a write down of the value through earnings unless ACNB intends to, or is required to, sell the security. Changes in the expected cash flows related to the credit related piece of the investment of a security in ACNB's investment portfolio or a prolonged price decline may result in ACNB's conclusion in future periods that an impairment is other than temporary, which would require a charge to earnings to write down the security to fair value. Due to the complexity of the calculations and assumptions used in determining whether an asset has an impairment that is other than temporary, the impairment disclosed may not accurately reflect the actual impairment in the future.

ACNB is subject to potential impairment of goodwill and intangibles.

        ACNB's subsidiary, Russell Insurance Group, Inc. ("RIG") has certain long-lived assets including purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, such as insurance books of business, and associated goodwill assets which are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the statement of condition and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.

        Goodwill, which has an indefinite useful life, is evaluated pursuant to ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, for impairment annually and is evaluated for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset's fair value. The goodwill impairment analysis currently used by the Corporation is a two-step test. The first step, used to identify potential impairment, involves comparing the reporting unit's estimated fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, there is an indication of potential impairment and the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment. If required, the second step involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill for the reporting unit for which the first step indicated potential impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to the amount of goodwill calculated in a business combination, by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to a group of likely buyers whose cash flow estimates could differ from those of the reporting entity, as determined in the first step, over the aggregate estimated fair values of the individual assets, liabilities and identifiable intangibles as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying value of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the carrying value of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. Subsequent reversal of goodwill impairment losses is not permitted. ACNB performs an annual evaluation to determine if there is goodwill impairment.

ACNB is subject to environmental liability risk associated with lending activities.

        A significant portion of ACNB's banking subsidiary loan portfolio is secured by real property. During the ordinary course of business, ACNB may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans. In doing so, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties. If hazardous or toxic substances are found, ACNB may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Environmental laws may require ACNB to incur substantial expense and may materially reduce the affected property's value or limit ACNB's ability to use or sell the affected property. In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase ACNB's exposure to environmental liability. Although ACNB has policies and procedures to perform an environmental review before initiating any foreclosure action on real property, these reviews may not be sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

The severity and duration of a future economic downturn and the composition of the banking subsidiary's loan portfolio could impact the level of loan charge-offs and provision for loan losses and may affect ACNB's net income or loss.

        Lending money is a substantial part of ACNB's business through its banking subsidiary. However, every loan that ACNB makes carries a certain risk of non-payment. ACNB cannot assure that its allowance for loan losses will be sufficient to absorb actual loan losses. ACNB also cannot assure that it will not experience significant losses in its loan portfolio that may require significant increases to the allowance for loan losses in the future.

        Although ACNB evaluates every loan that it makes against its underwriting criteria, ACNB may experience losses by reasons of factors beyond its control. Some of these factors include changes in market conditions affecting the value of real estate and unexpected problems affecting the creditworthiness of ACNB's borrowers.

        ACNB determines the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses by considering various factors, including:

        Local economic conditions could impact the loan portfolio of ACNB. For example, an increase in unemployment, a decrease in real estate values, or increases in interest rates, as well as other factors,

36


Table of Contents

could weaken the economies of the communities ACNB serves. Weakness in the market areas served by ACNB could depress ACNB's earnings and, consequently, its financial condition because:

        Although, based on the aforementioned procedures implemented by ACNB, management believes the current allowance for loan losses is adequate, ACNB may have to increase its provision for loan losses should local economic conditions deteriorate which could negatively impact its financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in real estate values may adversely impact ACNB's banking subsidiary loans that are secured by real estate.

        A significant portion of ACNB's banking subsidiary loan portfolio consists of residential and commercial mortgages, as well as consumer loans, secured by real estate. These properties are concentrated in Adams County, Pennsylvania. Real estate values and real estate markets generally are affected by, among other things, changes in national, regional or local economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates, the availability of loans to potential purchasers, changes in the tax laws and other government statutes, regulations and policies, and acts of nature. If real estate prices decline, particularly in ACNB's market area, the value of the real estate collateral securing ACNB's loans could be reduced. This reduction in the value of the collateral could increase the number of non-performing loans and could have a material adverse impact on ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

ACNB's information systems may experience an interruption or breach in security.

        ACNB relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business. Any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in ACNB's customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems. While ACNB has policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the failure, interruption or security breach of its information systems, there can be no assurance that any such failures, interruptions or security breaches will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. Although ACNB maintains insurance coverage that may, subject to policy terms and conditions including significant self-insured deductibles, cover certain aspects of cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses. The occurrence of any failures, interruptions or security breaches of ACNB's information systems could damage ACNB's reputation, adversely affecting customer or investor confidence, result in a loss of customer business, subject ACNB to additional regulatory scrutiny and possible regulatory penalties, or expose ACNB to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

ACNB's financial performance may suffer if its information technology is unable to keep pace with growth or industry developments.

        The financial services industry is continually undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. ACNB's future success depends, in part, upon its ability to address the needs of its customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in ACNB's operations. Many of ACNB's competitors have substantially greater

37


Table of Contents

resources to invest in technological improvements. ACNB may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to its customers. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change affecting the financial services industry could have a material adverse impact on ACNB's business and, in turn, ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

Financial services companies depend on the accuracy and completeness of information about customers and counterparties.

        In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions, ACNB may rely on information furnished by or on behalf of customers and counterparties, including financial statements, credit reports, and other financial information. ACNB may also rely on representations of those customers, counterparties or other third parties, such as independent auditors, as to the accuracy and completeness of that information. Reliance on inaccurate or misleading financial statements, credit reports, or other financial information could have a material adverse impact on ACNB's business and, in turn, ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

Consumers may decide not to use banks to complete their financial transactions.

        Technology and other changes are allowing parties to complete financial transactions that historically have involved banks through alternative methods. For example, consumers can now maintain funds in brokerage accounts or mutual funds that would have historically been held as bank deposits. Consumers can also complete transactions such as paying bills and/or transferring funds directly without the assistance of banks. The process of eliminating banks as intermediaries, known as "disintermediation", could result in the loss of fee income, as well as the loss of customer deposits and the related income generated from those deposits. The loss of these revenue streams and the lower cost deposits as a source of funds could have a material adverse effect on ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

Future economic conditions may adversely affect secondary sources of liquidity.

        In addition to primary sources of liquidity in the form of deposits and principal and interest payments on outstanding loans and investments, ACNB maintains secondary sources that provide it with additional liquidity. These secondary sources include secured and unsecured borrowings from sources such as the Federal Reserve Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, and third-party commercial banks. However, market liquidity conditions have been negatively impacted by past disruptions in the capital markets and could, in the future, have a negative impact on ACNB's secondary sources of liquidity.

Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, and other external events could significantly impact ACNB's business.

        The unpredictable nature of events such as severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, and other adverse external events could have a significant impact on ACNB's ability to conduct business. If any of its financial, accounting, network or other information processing systems fail or have other significant shortcomings due to external events, ACNB could be materially adversely affected. Third parties with which ACNB does business could also be sources of operational risk to ACNB, including the risk that the third parties' own network and information processing systems could fail. Any of these occurrences could materially diminish ACNB's ability to operate one or more of the Corporation's businesses, or result in potential liability to clients, reputational damage, and regulatory intervention, any of which could materially adversely affect ACNB. Such events could affect the stability of ACNB's deposit base, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of

38


Table of Contents

collateral securing loans, impair ACNB's liquidity, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenue, and/or cause ACNB to incur additional expenses.

        ACNB may be subject to disruptions or failures of the financial, accounting, network and other information processing systems arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond ACNB's control, which may include, for example, computer viruses, electrical or telecommunications outages, natural disasters, disease pandemics, damage to property or physical assets, or terrorist acts. ACNB has developed a comprehensive business continuity plan which includes plans to maintain or resume operations in the event of an emergency, such as a power outage or disease pandemic, and contingency plans in the event that operations or systems cannot be resumed or restored. The business continuity plan is updated as needed, periodically reviewed, and components are regularly tested. ACNB also reviews and evaluates the business continuity plans of critical third-party service providers. While ACNB believes its business continuity plan and efforts to evaluate the business continuity plans of critical third-party service providers help mitigate risks, disruptions or failures affecting any of these systems may cause interruptions in service to customers, damage to ACNB's reputation, and loss or liability to ACNB.

The recent change in control of the United States government and issues relating to debt and the deficit may adversely affect ACNB.

        Due to the Republican Party gaining control of the White House, as well as the Republican Party maintaining control of both the House of Representatives and Senate of the United States in the congressional election, could result in significant changes (or uncertainty) in governmental policies, regulatory environments, spending sentiment and many other factors and conditions, some of which could adversely impact ACNB's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        In addition, as a result of past difficulties of the federal government to reach agreement over federal debt and issues connected with the debt ceiling, certain rating agencies placed the United States government's long-term sovereign debt rating on their equivalent of negative watch and announced the possibility of a rating downgrade. The rating agencies, due to constraints related to the rating of the United States, also placed government-sponsored enterprises in which ACNB invests and receives lines of credit on negative watch and a downgrade of the United States government's credit rating would trigger a similar downgrade in the credit rating of these government-sponsored enterprises. Furthermore, the credit rating of other entities, such as state and local governments, may also be downgraded should the United States government's credit rating be downgraded. The impact that a credit rating downgrade may have on the national and local economy could have an adverse effect on ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

ACNB's banking subsidiary may be required to pay higher FDIC premiums or special assessments which may adversely affect its earnings.

        Poor economic conditions and the resulting bank failures have increased the costs of the FDIC and adversely impacted its Deposit Insurance Fund. Additional bank failures may prompt the FDIC to increase its premiums or to issue special assessments. ACNB is generally unable to control the amount of premiums or special assessments that its banking subsidiary is required to pay for FDIC insurance. Any future changes in the calculation or assessment of FDIC insurance premiums may have a material adverse effect on ACNB's financial condition and results of operations.

Income taxation could have negative effects on results of operations and asset values.

        Discussions of proposed major overhauls of the federal corporate tax code could result in unknown and unpredictable effects on ACNB's results of operations and value of assets. Proposals that would lower the corporate tax rate and, at the same time, reduce certain deductions from taxable income are

39


Table of Contents

aimed to increase overall revenue from corporate taxation. For example, reducing the tax deductibility of state and local government investments and loans would increase income tax expense and could perhaps decrease the value of those assets. Lowering tax rates would decrease the value of certain deferred tax assets. In addition, changes to individual income tax laws could have the effect of lowering demand for important sources of lending and revenue to ACNB, such as residential mortgages.

The increasing use of social media platforms presents new risks and challenges and the inability or failure to recognize, respond to, and effectively manage the accelerated impact of social media could materially adversely impact ACNB's business.

        There has been a marked increase in the use of social media platforms, including weblogs (blogs), social media websites, and other forms of Internet-based communications which allow individuals access to a broad audience of consumers and other interested persons. Social media practices in the banking industry are evolving, which creates uncertainty and risk of noncompliance with regulations applicable to ACNB's business. Consumers value readily available information concerning businesses and their goods and services and often act on such information without further investigation and without regard to its accuracy. Many social media platforms immediately publish the content their subscribers and participants post, often without filters or checks on accuracy of the content posted. Information posted on such platforms at any time may be adverse to ACNB's interests and/or may be inaccurate. The dissemination of information online could harm ACNB's business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations, regardless of the information's accuracy. The harm may be immediate without affording ACNB an opportunity for redress or correction.

        Other risks associated with the use of social media include improper disclosure of proprietary information, negative comments about ACNB's business, exposure of personally identifiable information, fraud, out-of-date information, and improper use by employees and customers. The inappropriate use of social media by ACNB's customers or employees could result in negative consequences such as remediation costs including training for employees, additional regulatory scrutiny and possible regulatory penalties, litigation, or negative publicity that could damage ACNB's reputation adversely affecting customer or investor confidence.

THE NEW WINDSOR SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

General

        The New Windsor special meeting of stockholders will be held at New Windsor Fire & Hose Company, Windsor Station, 101 High Street, New Windsor, Maryland 21776, at 10:00 a.m., local time, on May 16, 2017.

Record Date and Shares Outstanding and Entitled to Vote

        The record date for the New Windsor special meeting of stockholders is March 17, 2017. On the record date, there were 1,008,422 shares issued and outstanding. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the New Windsor record date will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting.

Matters to be Considered at the Special Meeting

        Holders of New Windsor common stock will consider and vote upon:

Quorum

        The holders of a majority of the shares of New Windsor common stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date must be present at the New Windsor special meeting, either in person or by proxy, for a quorum to be present for purposes of voting on the reorganization agreement, the adjournment or postponement proposal, and any other matter to be considered at the New Windsor special meeting.

Votes Required

        Approve and Adopt the Reorganization Agreement.    In accordance with Maryland law, the approval and adoption of the reorganization agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of New Windsor common stock outstanding on the record date.

        Discretionary Authority to Adjourn or Postpone the Special Meeting.    The affirmative vote of a majority of New Windsor shares represented, in person or by proxy, at the special meeting is required to approve the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies.

        Each holder of shares of New Windsor common stock outstanding on the record date will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record at the New Windsor special meeting of stockholders. The directors of New Windsor and Thomas J. Paholsky, New Windsor's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, have agreed to vote all shares of New Windsor common stock that they own on the record date in favor of the approval and adoption of the reorganization agreement. On the record date, these persons owned approximately 92,392 shares of New Windsor common stock, or approximately 9.2% of the outstanding shares of New Windsor common stock.

Voting

        The New Windsor board of directors is soliciting proxies to request that you allow your shares of New Windsor common stock to be represented at the special meeting by the persons named on the enclosed New Windsor proxy card. All shares of New Windsor common stock represented at the special meeting by properly executed and dated proxy cards will be voted according to the instructions indicated on the proxy card. If you sign, date and return a proxy card without giving voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by New Windsor's board of directors.

        The New Windsor board of directors recommends that you vote:

        If any matters incident to the conduct of the meeting and not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the special meeting, the persons named on the proxy card will use their judgment to determine how to vote your shares.

        If you hold your shares in street name, it is critical that you instruct your bank or broker how to vote. If you hold your shares in street name and you do not instruct your bank or broker how to vote, your bank or broker will not be permitted to vote your shares on any matter related to the merger or on other non-discretionary matters, and may elect not to vote your shares on other matters. A "broker non-vote" occurs when a broker submits a proxy that does not indicate a vote for some of the proposals because the beneficial owners have not instructed the broker on how to vote on such proposals.

        Broker non-votes are considered "present," and as a result, will have the same effect as a vote against the merger proposal and each proposal for which the affirmative vote of a majority of shares represented at the special meeting is required.

        If you return a valid proxy or attend the meeting in person, New Windsor will count your shares for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you abstain from voting. Broker non-votes, if any, also will be counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.

        Abstentions are considered to be present and, as a result, will have the same effect as a vote against the merger proposal and each proposal for which the affirmative vote of a majority of shares represented at the special meeting is required.

Revocation of Proxies

        Any New Windsor stockholder may revoke a proxy at any time before or at the New Windsor special meeting in one or more of the following ways:

43


Table of Contents

        A New Windsor shareholder should send any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy to:

        You also may hand deliver the notice of revocation or subsequent proxy to the Corporate Secretary before the taking of the vote at the special meeting of stockholders. Attendance at the special meeting of stockholders will not by itself constitute a revocation or proxy. If your shares are held in "street name," you will need to follow the voting instructions from your broker or nominee in order to change your vote. If your shares are held in "street name," you also will need a signed proxy from your broker or nominee in order to attend the special meeting and vote in person.

Appraisal Rights

        Any New Windsor stockholder who objects to the merger and follows the specific procedures set forth in Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL will be entitled to receive payment in cash of the fair value of their shares of New Windsor common stock. If you want to demand payment of the fair value of your common stock, you must fully comply with the procedures set out in the MGCL. The statutorily determined "fair value" cannot be predicted and could be more or less than the value of the merger consideration. Failure to take any of the steps required under MGCL a timely basis may result in the loss of appraisal rights. A copy of Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL included as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus. See "Proposal 1—The Merger—Appraisal Rights."

Solicitation of Proxies

        New Windsor will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies from its stockholders, but ACNB and New Windsor will equally share the cost of printing and mailing this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition to solicitation by mail, the directors, officers, and employees of New Windsor and their subsidiaries may solicit proxies from New Windsor stockholders by telephone, electronically, or in person without compensation other than reimbursement for their actual expenses. New Windsor also will make arrangements with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation material to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons. New Windsor will reimburse those custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with forwarding solicitation materials.

        To assist in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the special meeting, New Windsor may retain a proxy solicitation firm, although it has not done so as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the reorganization agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed to by the contracting parties, including being qualified by disclosures between the parties. These representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, they should not be relied on by investors as statements of factual information. ACNB and New Windsor urge you to read the full text of the reorganization agreement carefully.

General

        On November 22, 2016, ACNB and New Windsor jointly announced the execution of the reorganization agreement. Pursuant to the reorganization agreement, New Windsor will merge with and into a subsidiary of ACNB. After the merger, New Windsor State Bank will merge with and into ACNB Bank. The mergers are expected to be completed late in the second or early third quarter of 2017.

        In the merger, New Windsor stockholders will receive either 1.10 shares of ACNB common stock or $30.00 in cash for each share of New Windsor common stock they hold on the effective time of the merger.

        ACNB will not issue fractional shares of common stock to New Windsor stockholders pursuant to this merger; consequently, New Windsor stockholders who receive ACNB common stock in the merger will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares they would have otherwise received according to the terms of the reorganization agreement.

        The approval and adoption of the reorganization agreement requires the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy, of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the New Windsor special meeting of stockholders.

Background of the Merger

        As part of its ongoing consideration and evaluation of New Windsor's long-term prospects and strategy, the board of directors and senior management of New Windsor periodically reviewed and assessed strategic opportunities and challenges facing New Windsor and New Windsor State Bank. In February 2016, the board of directors and senior management held a retreat at which it received a presentation from a bank consultant, and engaged in a wide ranging discussion, on economic and regulatory trends affecting community banking, and mergers and acquisitions within the community banking industry. A representative of BuckleySandler LLP ("BuckleySandler"), New Windsor's legal counsel, also participated in the discussion and provided a review of the fiduciary duty of the board of directors in considering potential merger transactions. The board of directors discussed the advantages and disadvantages of various alternative strategies, including maintaining its course as an independent bank and seeking meaningful organic growth and increased profitability, including through increased hiring, expanded product offerings and increased efficiencies; a sale of the company; and the possibility for a merger of equals with one or more other community banking companies, to enable the combined company to reach a size, at least $1 billion, where it could increase operating efficiencies, achieve higher revenues, attract additional highly qualified personnel, and attract additional interest in the combined company's common stock, facilitating trading liquidity and capital raising.

        New Windsor's board of directors discussed the prospects for specific merger of equals opportunities with other Maryland community banks in nearby markets, regarding which Tom N. Rasmussen, President and Chief Executive Officer of New Windsor and New Windsor State Bank, and D. Arthur Seibel, Jr., the Chairman of the board of directors of New Windsor and New Windsor State Bank, had engaged in informal discussions over the prior year. They also considered the potential for transactions with larger banking companies, including ACNB, which had made formal or informal

overtures indicating interest in possibly acquiring New Windsor. Following the presentation and extensive discussions at the retreat, the board of directors directed Messrs. Rasmussen and Seibel to proactively engage in discussions with the other Maryland community banks with respect to a merger of equals among them, which the board of directors believed was in the best interests of New Windsor, its stockholders and the employee and community constituencies they served. Ultimately, these discussions were not able to obtain momentum, or overcome the many social and valuation obstacles to a merger of equals.

        The board of directors of ACNB has periodically reviewed and discussed ACNB's business, strategic direction, performance and prospects in context of developments in the banking industry and competitive landscape. Among other things, these discussions have included review of possible strategic directions available to ACNB, including from time to time, possible acquisitions or business combinations involving other financial institutions.

        During 2014 and 2015, ACNB had expressed an interest in a transaction with New Windsor, including a March 13, 2014 confidential non-binding indication of interest proposing a merger of New Windsor into ACNB for consideration equal to 105% of book value, or approximately $23.00 per share in a transaction to be structured as a combination of stock and cash. During those years Mr. Rasmussen had occasional meetings with Thomas A. Ritter, President and Chief Executive Officer of ACNB, to discuss in broad outlines the possibility of a transaction, but the New Windsor board of directors did not believe, at that time, that a sale of the company was in the best interests of the New Windsor or its stockholders.

        On May 12, 2016, Messrs. Rasmussen and Seibel met with Mr. Ritter. The meeting was primarily social, in order to allow the parties to get to know one another, and the details of a possible transaction were not discussed.

        On May 20, 2016, New Windsor contacted Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L. P. ("Sandler O'Neill"), a nationally recognized investment banking firm whose principal business specialty is financial institutions, with which New Windsor had previously consulted, in order to assist New Windsor in connection with any potential merger or sale activity. Sandler O'Neill was subsequently engaged to act as New Windsor's financial advisor.

        In early June 2016, Mr. Rasmussen contacted Mr. Ritter regarding arranging a meeting to discuss a potential combination of the two companies. The parties agreed to meet on June 20, 2016.

        On June 14, 2016, at a meeting of ACNB's Strategic Planning Committee, the committee discussed the upcoming meeting with New Windsor scheduled for June 20. The discussion included review of fundamental issues regarding a potential transaction with New Windsor including the cultures of the two companies, board representation and management integration, and the organizational and governance structure issues of a transaction between the two companies.

        On June 15, 2016, Mr. Ritter, James P. Helt, President of ACNB Bank, Lynda L. Glass, Executive Vice President/Secretary & Chief Governance Officer of ACNB, David W. Cathell, Executive Vice President/Treasurer & Chief Financial Officer of ACNB, and Mr. Seibel attended the Bybel Rutledge LLP 2016 M&A and Capital Raising Seminar at Hershey Country Club, Hershey, Pennsylvania. In the afternoon, Messrs. Ritter, Cathell and Seibel played golf together.

        On June 20, 2016, Messrs. Rasmussen and Seibel met with Messrs. Ritter and Helt. The meeting was largely social, although the cultures, footprints and clients of each institution were discussed, as well as issues facing the banking industry in general. Also discussed at this meeting was ACNB's desire to expand into Maryland, and to capitalize on a merger with New Windsor as a platform with which to engage in further expansion into Maryland, the potential synergies of combining ACNB and New Windsor, and the financial attractiveness of a transaction between ACNB and New Windsor. Following this meeting, social issues relating to a potential transaction were also discussed.

        On June 21, 2016, at the regularly scheduled board meeting of New Windsor, Messrs. Seibel and Rasmussen discussed their meeting with representatives of ACNB, and the board of directors authorized New Windsor to engage in preliminary diligence and investigations into a potential transaction with ACNB.

        That same day, Messrs. Ritter and Helt reported on the discussions at the meeting on previous day with New Windsor to the board of directors of ACNB at its regular meeting. Following the meeting, Mr. Ritter contacted ACNB's special counsel, Bybel Rutledge LLP ("Bybel Rutledge"), to provide legal representation in this matter.

        On July 6, 2016, Frank Elsner, III, Chairman of the board of ACNB had an informal lunch with Mr. Seibel for general discussions.

        On July 19, 2016, at a regular meeting of ACNB's board of directors, Mr. Ritter and Nicholas Bybel, Jr. of Bybel Rutledge discussed with the board of directors issues to be considered in connection with a transaction such as the proposed combination with New Windsor. The board of directors reviewed certain historical financial information and recent mergers and acquisitions data regarding financial institutions, as well as selective publically-available financial information regarding New Windsor and an analysis of a potential transaction and its effect on ACNB. Following review and discussion of the presentation materials, the board of directors authorized management to submit a confidential non-binding indication of interest to acquire New Windsor. In addition, Bybel Rutledge reviewed the board's and management's fiduciary duties.

        On July 21, 2016, Messrs. Ritter and Helt met with Messrs. Rasmussen and Seibel and delivered a confidential non-binding indication of interest dated July 19, 2016, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of New Windsor for approximately $25.00 per share or $25.1 million in the aggregate. Shares of New Windsor common stock would be exchanged for shares of ACNB common stock at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.998. The proposal indicated that 80% of the consideration would be paid in ACNB common stock and 20% in cash.

        Following the meeting, Messrs. Rasmussen and Seibel, along with Thomas J. Paholsky, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of New Windsor and New Windsor State Bank, discussed this indication with representatives of Sandler O'Neill and BuckleySandler. Following these consultations, Messrs. Rasmussen and Seibel advised ACNB that they would present the indication of interest at the next meeting of the Board of Directors, although they did not believe that the consideration offered was sufficient to obtain board approval.

        On July 28, 2016, Mr. Ritter received a telephone call from Mr. Rasmussen regarding the confidential non-binding indication of interest dated July 19, 2016. Among other things, Mr. Rasmussen indicated that New Windsor did not consider the pricing sufficient and insisted that New Windsor's core processing system could be retained.

        On August 9, 2016, ACNB's Strategic Planning Committee held a meeting which Mr. Bybel of Bybel Rutledge attended. Mr. Ritter reported on the July 28 telephone call from Mr. Rasmussen and New Windsor's response to the indication of interest. Following discussion, the committee directed Messrs. Ritter and Helt to contact Mr. Rasmussen in order to determine New Windsor's desired objectives for a potential transaction. In addition, the committee reaffirmed that New Windsor's core processing system would not ultimately be retained in a potential transaction.

        On August 16, 2016, at its regularly scheduled meeting, New Windsor's board of directors met with representatives of Sandler O'Neill and BuckleySandler to discuss ACNB's indication of interest. The board discussed with Sandler O'Neill the market for bank merger and acquisition activity, as well as the financial aspects of ACNB's proposal, and the financial aspects of New Windsor maintaining its status as an independent entity. The discussion with Sandler O'Neill included possible transactions with certain other potential acquirors, including those which had previously indicated an interest in

47


Table of Contents

considering a transaction with New Windsor. Sandler O'Neill reviewed with the board of directors the amount of consideration that each potential merger partner could have the financial capacity to offer, and the potential impact of a transaction on stockholder liquidity and dividends. The board of directors also discussed the potential impact of alternative transactions on the employees and customers of New Windsor.

        During the course of the meeting, New Windsor's board of directors considered that while New Windsor had made significant strides in asset quality and earnings over the past several years, it was finding that significant organic growth, hiring of quality personnel to permit that growth, and increased operating efficiencies were turning out to be more difficult to achieve as a result of limitations on the size and economic growth of New Windsor's primary market areas, salary structures in adjoining markets, increased regulatory burdens, difficulties in raising the additional capital needed to support growth, and high levels of competition for customer and personnel from other community banking organizations and regional and nationwide banks operating in New Windsor's markets and adjoining markets. As such, the board of directors considered that continued independence would not be in the best long-term interests of New Windsor and its stockholders.

        The board of directors considered that a transaction with ACNB could be highly attractive based upon: ACNB's performance; its attractive dividend; the greater trading liquidity of ACNB's stock and its inclusion in the Russell 3000; the similar corporate cultures and markets of the two companies; the contiguous nature of ACNB's and New Windsor's market areas; the expectation that ACNB would utilize an acquisition of New Windsor as a platform for continued expansion in Maryland and the potential impact that Maryland expansion could have on the value of ACNB's stock; ACNB's willingness to continue use of the New Windsor name; and the relatively lower adverse impact on employees and the communities New Windsor serves as compared to the impact that could be expected in a transaction with another party, although it also believed that the consideration proposed by ACNB in its July 19, 2016 letter was inadequate. However, based upon the foregoing factors, and the board's consideration as to the capacity of ACNB to pay an increased level of consideration; the levels of consideration which other likely potential interested acquirors had the financial capacity to offer; the expected impacts on the customers, employees and communities served by New Windsor; and the anticipated impact a combination with the other potential acquirors could have on the value of a transaction to New Windsor's stockholders, the board of directors believed that it was in the best interests of New Windsor, its stockholders, and the other constituencies served by New Windsor that New Windsor continue to pursue a transaction only with ACNB, to see if an adequate proposal could be obtained. As such, the board of directors directed Mr. Rasmussen to decline the proposal, while continuing discussions with ACNB to seek to obtain a higher proposal.

        Also, on August 16, 2016, at a regular meeting of the ACNB board of directors, the board discussed the status of conversations regarding a potential acquisition of New Windsor and New Windsor's desire to remain independent.

        During the next several weeks Messrs. Rasmussen and Seibel consulted frequently with representatives of ACNB, and ACNB conducted further due diligence and refined its financial analyses of a potential transaction with New Windsor. Messrs. Rasmussen and Seibel advised ACNB that the board of directors was not prepared to go forward with a proposed transaction unless the transaction promised to provide consideration equal to at $30.00 per share, or more, at signing.

        On September 13, 2016, ACNB's Strategic Planning Committee met to review the status of negotiations with New Windsor. Also present at the meeting were representatives of Bybel Rutledge. At the meeting, the committee discussed negotiations with New Windsor to date. Mr. Bybel discussed with the committee certain cultural and organizational aspects of the proposed transaction and the impact to ACNB of a "fixed" exchange ratio. Commonwealth Advisors, Inc. ("Commonwealth Advisors") provided a financial analysis based upon certain transaction cost savings and certain analyses for the

48


Table of Contents

potential financial impacts for the combined institution including earnings per share, capital ratios, and book value pursuant to a combination of stock and cash consideration. The committee discussion included efficiency ratio impacts, viability of other and/or future acquisition opportunities, significance of combined cost savings, and future dividends to shareholders. In addition, the committee discussed the core benefits of the proposed transaction including enhanced scale for rising infrastructure costs, increased income potential, and positive loan growth. The committee agreed that a revised confidential non-binding indication of interest be submitted to the board of directors and considered at the special meeting of the board of directors.

        Immediately following the conclusion of the Strategic Planning Committee meeting, ACNB held a special meeting of the board of directors to discuss and act on the submission of a revised confidential non-binding indication of interest to acquire New Windsor. Messrs. Elsner and Ritter presented a chronology of events and the status of negotiations regarding the potential acquisition of New Windsor since the last board meeting and management's recommendations. Commonwealth Advisors presented an overview of the financial aspects of the proposed transaction, and Bybel Rutledge reviewed a revised confidential non-binding indication of interest with the board. In addition, Bybel Rutledge reviewed the board's and management's fiduciary duties. Following discussion of the revised indication of interest, the board authorized management to submit the revised indication of interest to acquire New Windsor.

        Following the meeting, ACNB submitted a revised confidential non-binding indication of interest dated September 13, 2016, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of New Windsor offering a fixed exchange ratio of 1.10 shares of ACNB common stock for each share of New Windsor common stock, or a transaction value as of the date of the letter of approximately $29.78 per share, or $29.9 million in the aggregate. The proposal indicated that 85% of the consideration would be paid in ACNB common stock and 15% in cash.

        New Windsor's board of directors met to discuss the revised proposal at its regularly scheduled meeting on September 20, 2016. Also present at the meeting were representatives of Sandler O'Neill and BuckleySandler. Sandler O'Neill reviewed financial aspects of the proposal, and the alternative merger transactions which might be available to New Windsor. A representative of BuckleySandler provided a review of the fiduciary duty of the directors. Following an extensive discussion of the proposal and merits and demerits of seeking additional proposals from other parties, the board of directors directed Messrs. Rasmussen and Seibel to respond to ACNB's proposal, and to seek a minimum signing date value of $31.00, and to address certain other clarifications and additions to the indication of interest regarding certain social and employee related issues.

        Also, on September 20, 2016, at a regular meeting of the board of directors of ACNB, management reviewed with the board the status of discussions with New Windsor.

        Over the next several weeks, ACNB, New Windsor, their respective legal counsel and Sandler O'Neill continued to negotiate the terms of the indication of interest and proposed transaction.

        On October 6, 2016, ACNB's board of directors held a special meeting to discuss the potential acquisition of New Windsor. At the meeting, Messrs. Elsner and Ritter updated the board regarding the chronology of events and status of negotiations with New Windsor since the last board meeting. Representatives of Commonwealth Advisors presented an overview of the updated financial aspects of the proposed acquisition of New Windsor. The board discussed certain aspects of the potential acquisition of New Windsor including, but not limited to, assumptions in the financial analysis, necessary cost savings, due diligence requirements and priorities, core processing early termination and deconversion fees, initial transaction costs, stock price concerns and retention of certain key officers. Following discussion, the board authorized management to submit a revised indication of interest to New Windsor and negotiate a definitive agreement subject to due diligence and final approval of the definitive agreement by the board. Bybel Rutledge reviewed the terms of a proposed revised indication of interest with the board.

        Following review of the initial drafts of the reorganization agreement and receipt of the initial comments and markup of the draft agreement from counsel, Messrs. Rasmussen, Seibel and Paholsky engaged in discussions with representatives of BuckleySandler and Sandler O'Neill to discuss the proposed response to the draft agreement. After discussing the amount and structure of the offer, which were consistent with the prior discussions with ACNB, the participants focused on the provisions regarding the appointment of New Windsor representatives to ACNB's board of directors, certain restrictions on the operations of New Windsor and New Windsor State Bank pending closing, provisions relating to employee and severed employee compensation, and certain termination provisions and termination payments as the areas of primary concern.

        Over the next several weeks, Messrs. Rasmussen and Seibel, BuckleySandler and Sandler O'Neill conferred frequently as they reviewed and discussed revisions to the draft reorganization agreement and ancillary agreements.

Certain Non-Public, Unaudited, Forward-Looking Information Exchanged by ACNB and New Windsor

        In the course of their merger discussions, ACNB and New Windsor each provided copies of certain internal financial projections for future periods prepared by senior management to the other and to Sandler O'Neill and Commonwealth Advisors, financial advisors for New Windsor and ACNB, respectively, for them to use in preparing the analyses performed in connection with their respective fairness opinions.

        ACNB, Sandler O'Neill and Commonwealth Advisors obtained from New Windsor a copy of New Windsor's internal 2016 profit plan, which included forecasted operating results for 2016. New Windsor and Sandler O'Neill obtained from ACNB a copy of ACNB's internal 2016 profit plan, which included forecasted operating results for 2016, ACNB's draft strategic plan (2016-2019), dated December 31, 2015, and capital plan, dated December 31, 2015. Further, Sandler O'Neill and Commonwealth Advisors obtained additional projections for ACNB and New Windsor prepared by the senior management of each company.

        New Windsor's internal 2016 profit plan provided to ACNB, which had been prepared in 2015 and updated to reflect 2016 actual results through June 30, 2016, included projected net income for the year ending December 31, 2016 of approximately $1.588 million. Projections through the year ending December 31, 2017 was based on the strategic plan provided by management of New Windsor, which projected net income for the year ending December 31, 2017 of $1.715 million. Management guidance for the years ending December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2020 included a 6.0% growth in net income per annum, resulting in projected net income of $1.818 million, $1.927 million and $2.043 million, respectively. There was no assumed change to the current dividend rate.

        ACNB's internal 2016 profit plan provided to New Windsor, which had been prepared in 2015 and updated to reflect 2016 actual results through June 30, 2016, included projected net income for the year ending December 31, 2016 of approximately $10.6 million. ACNB management provided guidance for the years ending December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2020 that was used to derive net income for the projected years. Those assumptions provided by management of ACNB to Sandler O'Neill was balance sheet growth of 6.0% per annum; loan growth of 5.0% per annum; NIM of 3.36%

Table of Contents

for the year ending December 31, 2016, 3.26% for the year ending December 31, 2017 and 3.23% for the year ending December 31, 2018; noninterest expense growth of 3.5% per year; noninterest growth of 2.5% per year; and estimate net charge-offs equal to 5 bps on average loans per year. Using these assumptions resulted in net income for the years ending December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2020 of $11.952 million, $12.782 million and $13.729 million, respectively. There was no assumed change to the current dividend rate.

        The foregoing projections are provided for the sole purpose of describing certain projections exchanged between the parties. The inclusion of the projections in this document should not be interpreted as an indication that either New Windsor or ACNB considers this information to be necessarily predictive of actual future results of operations for New Windsor, ACNB or the combined company, and this information should not be relied upon for that purpose. For factors and other matters that could cause actual results to differ, please see the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "A Warning About Forward Looking Information" in this proxy statement/prospectus.

        The referenced plans and projections involve significant assumptions regarding, among other things, interest rates, projected loan, deposit and asset growth, dividends, asset quality and allowance for loan losses, loan-to-deposit ratios and return on assets which were based on historical data, trends and interim results along with any known information that would potentially cause future results to differ from prior results. Because the projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions, including factors related to general economic and competitive conditions, which are inherently uncertain; accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in the projections.

        The senior management of both companies developed their 2016 operating budgets prior to and without regard for the proposed merger, and New Windsor and ACNB do not publicly disclose internal management projections of the type provided to Sandler O'Neill and Commonwealth Advisors, or any other earnings guidance or financial projections. As a result, such projections were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure.

        Further, such projections are not intended to comply with the guidelines for financial forecasts established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or any other established guidelines regarding projections or forecasts.

        The reports of the independent registered public accounting firms of ACNB and New Windsor included in or incorporated by reference into this document relate solely to the historical financial information of the respective companies as referred to therein. Such reports do not extend to the above discussion of the ACNB and New Windsor projections and should not be read as doing so.

New Windsor's Reasons for the Merger

        In reaching the conclusion that the reorganization agreement and merger are in the best interests of and advisable for New Windsor and its stockholders, and in approving the reorganization agreement and merger, New Windsor's board of directors considered, and reviewed with management and New Windsor's financial and legal advisors a number of factors, including the following:

        The New Windsor board of directors also considered potential risks associated with the merger in connection with its consideration of the proposed transaction, including:

        The above discussion of the information and factors considered by New Windsor's board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but indicate the material matters considered by New Windsor's board of directors. In reaching its determination to approve the reorganization agreement, New Windsor's board of directors did not quantify, rank or assign any relative or specific weight to, the foregoing factors, and individual directors may have considered various factors differently. New Windsor's board of directors did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any factor, or particular aspect of any factor, supported or did not support its ultimate determination. New Windsor's board of directors based its determination on the totality of the information presented.

Recommendation of the New Windsor Board of Directors

        The New Windsor board of directors has unanimously determined that the reorganization agreement and the merger is in the best interests of New Windsor and its stockholders. Accordingly, the New Windsor board of directors recommends that New Windsor stockholders vote "FOR" approval and adoption of the reorganization agreement and the merger and "FOR" approval of the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary, to allow the solicitation of additional votes in favor of the reorganization agreement.

Opinion of New Windsor's Financial Advisor

        New Windsor retained Sandler O'Neill to act as financial advisor to New Windsor's board of directors in connection with New Windsor's consideration of a possible business combination. Sandler O'Neill is a nationally recognized investment banking firm whose principal business specialty is financial institutions. In the ordinary course of its investment banking business, Sandler O'Neill is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions.

        Sandler O'Neill acted as financial advisor to New Windsor in connection with the proposed transaction and participated in certain of the negotiations leading to the execution of the reorganization agreement. At the November 18, 2016 meeting at which New Windsor's board of directors considered and discussed the terms of the reorganization agreement and the merger, Sandler O'Neill informed the board of directors that it believed that assuming no material changes in the relevant circumstances, Sandler O'Neill would be in a position to provide a favorable opinion regarding the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received by New Windsor's stockholders. On November 21, 2016, Sandler O'Neill delivered its oral opinion to New Windsor's board of directors, which was substantially confirmed in writing on November 21, 2016, to the effect that, as of such date, the merger consideration provided for in the reorganization agreement was fair to the holders of New Windsor common stock from a financial point of view. The full text of Sandler O'Neill's opinion is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus. The opinion outlines the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Sandler O'Neill in rendering its opinion. The description of the opinion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. Holders of New Windsor common stock are urged to read the entire opinion carefully in connection with their consideration of the proposed merger.

        Sandler O'Neill's opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion was directed to New Windsor's board of directors in connection with its consideration of the reorganization agreement and the merger and is directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration to the holders of New Windsor's common stock and does not address the allocation of the merger consideration between cash and ACNB Common Stock or the relative fairness of the per share stock consideration and the per share cash consideration. Sandler O'Neill's opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of New Windsor as to how any such shareholder should vote at any meeting of shareholders called to consider and vote upon the approval of the reorganization agreement and the merger or what election to make regarding the per share stock consideration, the per share cash consideration or any combination thereof. Sandler O'Neill's opinion does not address the underlying business decision of New Windsor to engage in the merger, the form or structure of the merger or any other transactions contemplated in the reorganization agreement, the relative merits of the merger as compared to any other alternative transactions or business strategies that might exist for New Windsor or the effect of any other transaction in which New Windsor might engage. Sandler O'Neill did not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to be received in the merger by any of New Windsor's or ACNB's officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, if any, relative to the compensation to be received

56


Table of Contents

in the merger by any other shareholder, including the merger consideration to be received by the holders of New Windsor common stock. Sandler O'Neill's opinion was approved by Sandler O'Neill's fairness opinion committee.

        In connection with rendering its opinion, Sandler O'Neill reviewed and considered, among other things:

        Sandler O'Neill also discussed with certain members of the senior management of New Windsor the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of New Windsor and held similar discussions with certain members of the senior management of ACNB regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of ACNB.

        In performing its review, Sandler O'Neill relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was available to and reviewed by Sandler O'Neill from public sources, that was provided to Sandler O'Neill by New Windsor or ACNB, or their respective representatives, or that was otherwise reviewed by Sandler O'Neill, and Sandler O'Neill assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering its opinion without any independent verification or investigation. Sandler O'Neill relied on the assurances of the respective managements of New Windsor and ACNB that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would have made any of such information inaccurate or misleading. Sandler O'Neill was not asked to and did not undertake an independent verification of any of such information, and Sandler O'Neill did not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. Sandler O'Neill did not make an independent evaluation or perform an appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing assets or

57


Table of Contents

the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of New Windsor or ACNB or any of their respective subsidiaries, nor was Sandler O'Neill furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. Sandler O'Neill rendered no opinion or evaluation on the collectability of any assets or the future performance of any loans of New Windsor or ACNB or any of their respective subsidiaries. Sandler O'Neill did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of New Windsor or ACNB, or of the combined entity after the merger, and Sandler O'Neill did not review any individual credit files relating to New Windsor or ACNB. Sandler O'Neill assumed, with New Windsor's consent, that the respective allowances for loan losses for both New Windsor and ACNB are adequate to cover losses inherent in the respective loan portfolios and would be adequate on a pro forma basis for the combined entity.

        In preparing its analyses, Sandler O'Neill used certain internal financial projections for New Windsor as provided by the senior management of New Windsor, as well as certain internal financial projections for ACNB as provided by the senior management of ACNB. Sandler O'Neill also received and used in its pro forma analyses certain assumptions relating to purchase accounting adjustments, cost savings and transaction expenses, as provided by the senior management of ACNB. With respect to the foregoing information, the respective senior managements of New Windsor and ACNB confirmed to Sandler O'Neill that such information reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of those respective senior managements as to the future financial performance of New Windsor and ACNB, respectively, and the other matters covered thereby, and Sandler O'Neill assumed that the future financial performance reflected in such information would be achieved. Sandler O'Neill expressed no opinion as to such information, or the assumptions on which such information was based. Sandler O'Neill also assumed that there had been no material change in the respective assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of New Windsor or ACNB since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to Sandler O'Neill. Sandler O'Neill assumed in all respects material to its analysis that New Windsor and ACNB would remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to its analyses.

        Sandler O'Neill also assumed, with New Windsor's consent, that (i) each of the parties to the reorganization agreement would comply in all material respects with all material terms and conditions of the reorganization agreement and all related agreements, that all of the representations and warranties contained in such agreements were true and correct in all material respects, that each of the parties to such agreements would perform in all material respects all of the covenants and other obligations required to be performed by such party under such agreements and that the conditions precedent in such agreements were not and would not be waived; (ii) in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases with respect to the merger, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition would be imposed that would have an adverse effect on New Windsor, ACNB or the merger or any related transaction; (iii) the merger and any related transactions would be consummated in accordance with the terms of the reorganization agreement without any waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof and in compliance with all applicable laws and other requirements; and (iv) the merger would qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Finally, with New Windsor's consent, Sandler O'Neill relied upon the advice that New Windsor received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the reorganization agreement. Sandler O'Neill expressed no opinion as to any such matters.

        Sandler O'Neill's opinion was necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Sandler O'Neill as of, the date of its opinion. Events occurring after the date of the opinion could materially affect Sandler O'Neill's opinion. Sandler O'Neill has not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw its opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date of its opinion. Sandler O'Neill expressed no opinion as to the trading values of New Windsor common stock or ACNB common stock at any time

58


Table of Contents

or what the value of ACNB common stock would be once shares of ACNB common stock are actually received by the holders of New Windsor common stock.

        In rendering its opinion, Sandler O'Neill performed a variety of financial analyses. The summary below is not a complete description of the analyses underlying Sandler O'Neill's opinion or the presentation made by Sandler O'Neill to New Windsor's board of directors, but is a summary of all material analyses performed and presented by Sandler O'Neill. The summary includes information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, these tables must be read together with the accompanying text. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving subjective judgments as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. The process, therefore, is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. Sandler O'Neill believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the factors and analyses to be considered without considering all factors and analyses, or attempting to ascribe relative weights to some or all such factors and analyses, could create an incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying its opinion. Also, no company included in Sandler O'Neill's comparative analyses described below is identical to New Windsor or ACNB and no transaction is identical to the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of comparable companies or transactions involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect the public trading values or merger transaction values, as the case may be, of New Windsor and ACNB and the companies to which they are being compared. In arriving at its opinion, Sandler O'Neill did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered. Rather, Sandler O'Neill made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Sandler O'Neill did not form an opinion as to whether any individual analysis or factor (positive or negative) considered in isolation supported or failed to support its opinion; rather, Sandler O'Neill made its determination as to the fairness of the merger consideration on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all its analyses taken as a whole.

        In performing its analyses, Sandler O'Neill also made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions and various other matters, many of which cannot be predicted and are beyond the control of New Windsor, ACNB and Sandler O'Neill. The analyses performed by Sandler O'Neill are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, both of which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Sandler O'Neill prepared its analyses solely for purposes of rendering its opinion and provided such analyses to New Windsor's board of directors at its November 18, 2016 meeting. Estimates on the values of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or their securities may actually be sold. Such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty, and actual values may be materially different. Accordingly, Sandler O'Neill's analyses do not necessarily reflect the value of New Windsor common stock or the prices at which New Windsor common stock or ACNB common stock may be sold at any time. The analyses of Sandler O'Neill and its opinion were among a number of factors taken into consideration by New Windsor's board of directors in making its determination to approve the reorganization agreement, and the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of New Windsor's board of directors or management with respect to the fairness of the merger.

        Summary of Proposed Merger Consideration and Implied Transaction Metrics.    Sandler O'Neill reviewed the financial terms of the proposed merger. Sandler O'Neill calculated an implied transaction price per share of $32.64, or an aggregate implied transaction value of approximately $32.8 million, consisting of (i) the implied value of the per share stock consideration of 1.10 shares of ACNB common stock based on the closing price of ACNB common stock on November 18, 2016 multiplied by 85% and (ii) the per share cash consideration of $30.00 multiplied by 15%. Based upon financial

        Sandler O'Neill also reviewed a regional group of selected merger and acquisition transactions (the "Regional Precedent Transactions"). The Regional Precedent Transactions group consisted of transactions with announced deal values announced between January 1, 2015 and November 18, 2016 involving commercial banks and thrifts where the target had total assets between $100 million and $500 million and was located in Maryland, Washington D.C., or Virginia. The Regional Precedent Transactions group was composed of the following transactions:

        Using the latest publicly available information prior to the announcement of the relevant transaction, Sandler O'Neill reviewed the following transaction metrics: transaction price to last twelve months earnings per share, transaction price to book value per share, transaction price to tangible book value per share, core deposit premium, and, in the case of six transactions involving publicly-traded targets, 1-day market premium (discount). Sandler O'Neill compared the indicated transaction multiples for the merger to the median, mean, high and low multiples of the Regional Precedent Transactions group (excluding, as not meaningful, the transaction price to last-twelve-months earnings per share multiples for five transactions, the transaction price to book value per share and transaction price to

        Net Present Value Analyses.    Sandler O'Neill performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of New Windsor common stock assuming New Windsor performed in accordance with internal financial projections of New Windsor as provided by the senior management of New Windsor. To approximate the terminal value of New Windsor common stock at December 31, 2020, Sandler O'Neill applied price to 2020 earnings per share multiples ranging from 9.0x to 16.5x and multiples of December 31, 2020 tangible book value per share ranging from 70% to 120%. The terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 10.0% to 14.0% which were chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of New Windsor common stock. As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicated an imputed range of values per share of New Windsor common shares of $11.21 to $23.16 when applying multiples of earnings per share and $12.62 to $24.51 when applying multiples of tangible book value per share.

To illustrate this impact, Sandler O'Neill performed a similar analysis assuming New Windsor's net income varied from 15% above projections to 15% below projections. This analysis resulted in the following range of per share values for New Windsor common stock, applying the price

        Sandler O'Neill noted that the net present value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such methodology are highly dependent upon the numerous assumptions that must be made, and the results thereof are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results.

        Pro Forma Merger Analysis.    Sandler O'Neill analyzed certain potential pro forma effects of the merger, assuming the merger closes at the end of the second calendar quarter of 2017. In performing this analysis, Sandler O'Neill utilized the following information and assumptions: (i) certain internal financial projections for New Windsor as provided by the senior management of New Windsor; (ii) certain internal financial projections for ACNB as provided by the senior management of ACNB; and (iii) certain assumptions relating to purchase accounting adjustments, cost savings and transaction expenses, as provided by the senior management of ACNB. The analysis indicated that the merger could be accretive to ACNB's earnings per share (excluding one-time transaction costs and expenses) in the years ending December 31, 2017 through 2020, dilutive to ACNB's estimated tangible book value per share at closing and at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, and accretive to ACNB's estimated tangible book value per share at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020.

        In connection with this analysis, Sandler O'Neill considered and discussed with the New Windsor board of directors how the analysis would be affected by changes in the underlying assumptions, including the impact of final purchase accounting adjustments determined at the closing of the transaction, and noted that the actual results achieved by the combined company may vary from projected results and the variations may be material.

        Sandler O'Neill's Relationship.    Sandler O'Neill has acted as financial advisor to New Windsor in connection with the merger and will receive a fee for such services in an amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate purchase price, which fee is currently estimated to be approximately $400,000 and is contingent upon the closing of the merger. Sandler O'Neill also received a $125,000 fee upon rendering its fairness opinion to the New Windsor Board of Directors, which opinion fee will be credited in full towards the transaction fee becoming due and payable to Sandler O'Neill on the day of closing of the merger. New Windsor has also agreed to reimburse Sandler O'Neill for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its engagement, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its legal counsel. New Windsor has also agreed to indemnify Sandler O'Neill and its affiliates and their respective partners, directors, officers, employees and agents against certain expenses and liabilities, including liabilities under applicable federal or state law. In connection with its engagement, Sandler O'Neill was not asked to, and did not, solicit indications of interest in a potential transaction with New Windsor from other parties.

        Sandler O'Neill has not provided any investment banking services to New Windsor or ACNB in the two years preceding the date of its opinion. In the ordinary course of Sandler O'Neill's business as

68


Table of Contents

a broker-dealer, Sandler O'Neill may purchase securities from and sell securities to New Windsor and its affiliates. Sandler O'Neill may also actively trade the equity and debt securities of New Windsor and ACNB and their respective affiliates for its own account and for the accounts of Sandler O'Neill's customers.

ACNB's Reasons for the Merger

        ACNB's board of directors considered the terms of the reorganization agreement, the long-term and short-term strategic and economic benefits of the proposed merger, the short and long-term pro forma financial impact and the pro forma ownership percentages of the and potential effects on the outstanding common stock of the combined company which would be held by the present holders of ACNB and New Windsor common stock and determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of ACNB for ACNB to enter into the reorganization agreement with New Windsor.

        In the course of making its decision to approve the transaction with New Windsor, ACNB's board of directors evaluated the transaction in consultation with ACNB's executive management and ACNB's financial and legal advisors. ACNB's board of directors considered, among other things, the following factors:

69


Table of Contents

        The board of directors of ACNB also considered the fact that the combined institution would result in a financial institution with more than $1.52 billion in assets, total deposits of $1.24 billion, and loans of $1.11 billion.

        ACNB's board of directors also considered the following:

Table of Contents

        The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the ACNB board of directors in evaluating the reorganization agreement is not intended to be exhaustive, but, rather, includes all material factors considered by the ACNB board of directors. ACNB's board of directors evaluated the factors described above, including asking questions of ACNB's legal and financial advisors. In reaching its decision to approve the agreement and the merger, the ACNB board of directors did not quantify or assign relative values to the factors considered, and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors.

        ACNB board of directors realizes that there can be no assurance about future results, including results expected or considered in the factors listed above. The ACNB board of directors considered all of the above factors as a whole, and on an overall basis considered them to be favorable to, and support, its determination to enter into the reorganization agreement.

Terms of the Merger:

Effect of the Merger

        Upon completion of the merger, New Windsor will merge with and into a subsidiary of ACNB. ACNB and New Windsor will use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cause New Windsor State Bank to merge with and into ACNB Bank. The articles of incorporation and the bylaws of ACNB will continue to govern ACNB.

Merger Consideration

New Windsor Common Stock

        Stockholders of New Windsor will receive 1.10 fully paid and non-assessable shares of ACNB common stock or $30.00 in cash for each share of New Windsor common stock they own immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. See "Proposal 1: The Merger—Terms of the Merger—Election and Exchange Procedures."

71


Table of Contents

        The exchange ratio will be appropriately adjusted if there is a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, common stock reclassification, or other similar event regarding ACNB common stock before completion of the merger. By way of illustration, if ACNB declares and pays a stock dividend of 5% on or prior to the effective time of the merger, the exchange ratio will be adjusted upward by 5%. Under this hypothetical, New Windsor stockholders entitled to receive ACNB common stock pursuant to the reorganization agreement would receive 1.155 shares of ACNB common stock, adjusted up from 1.10 shares, for each share of New Windsor common stock they owned immediately prior to the effective time of the merger.

        ACNB will not issue fractional shares of its common stock in connection with the merger. Each holder of New Windsor common stock who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of ACNB common stock will receive cash in lieu of the fractional share of ACNB common stock (without interest) in an amount calculated pursuant to the reorganization agreement. The reorganization agreement calculates the cash amount by multiplying the fractional share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all shares of New Windsor common stock owned by the holder at the effective time of the merger) by $30.00.

ACNB Common Stock

        Each share of ACNB common stock outstanding immediately prior to completion of the merger will remain outstanding after the merger.

Election and Exchange Procedures

        ACNB shall appoint Computershare as its exchange agent for the payment of the merger consideration or another agent experienced in providing such services that is also independent of and unaffiliated with ACNB and New Windsor (the "exchange agent").

        Subject to the allocation process described in the next section, each New Windsor stockholder may elect to receive with respect to his or her shares of New Windsor common stock, all ACNB common stock, all cash or a combination of ACNB common stock and cash.

        Stock Election Shares.    New Windsor stockholders who validly elect to receive 1.10 shares of ACNB common stock for some or all of their shares will receive the per share stock consideration for that portion of the stockholder's shares of New Windsor common stock equal to the stockholder's stock election subject to the allocation process discussed below. In our discussion below, we refer to shares held by stockholders who have made stock elections as "stock election shares."

        Cash Election Shares.    New Windsor stockholders who validly elect to receive cash for some or all of their shares will receive $30.00 in cash per share for that portion of the stockholder's shares of New Windsor common stock equal to the stockholder's cash election, subject to the allocation process described below. In our discussion below, we refer to shares held by New Windsor stockholders who have made cash elections as "cash election shares."

        No-Election Shares.    Shares held by New Windsor stockholders (i) who do not submit a properly completed election form before the election deadline; (ii) who revoke an election form prior to the election deadline and do not resubmit a properly completed election form prior to the election deadline; or (iii) who fail to perfect his, her or its appraisal rights shall be deemed "No Election Shares." No Election Shares will be converted into stock consideration, cash consideration or a mix of stock and cash consideration, depending on the elections of other New Windsor stockholders.

        A limited amount of ACNB common stock and cash consideration will be paid to New Windsor stockholders, as described above. Accordingly, there is no assurance that a New Windsor stockholder will receive the form of merger consideration that such stockholder elects to receive with respect to any

72


Table of Contents

or all of his or her shares of New Windsor common stock. If the stock consideration or the cash consideration elections of New Windsor stockholders would exceed the specified limits, then the procedures for allocating ACNB common stock and cash to be received by New Windsor stockholders will be followed by ACNB's exchange agent. See "Proposal: The Merger—Allocation of ACNB Common Stock and Cash" below.

        Election Form.    Not less than forty-five (45) business days prior to the anticipated completion of the merger, or on such other date as agreed to by ACNB and New Windsor, the exchange agent will mail to New Windsor stockholders an election form with instructions on electing to receive ACNB common stock or cash or a combination of stock and cash for their New Windsor common stock. The deadline for making your election will be 5:00 p.m. on the day that is thirty-three (33) days after the materials are first mailed. You must carefully follow the instructions from ACNB's exchange agent. Your election will be properly made only if by the deadline date, you have submitted to ACNB's exchange agent at its designated office, a properly completed and signed election form. If your election is not properly made, your shares of New Windsor common stock will be treated as "No Election Shares." Neither ACNB nor its exchange agent will be under any obligation to notify any person of any defects in an election form.

        As soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time (and in any case no later than five (5) business days thereafter), ACNB shall cause the exchange agent to mail to each record holder of a certificate representing shares of New Windsor common stock (a "New Windsor certificate") a letter of transmittal which shall specify that delivery of the New Windsor certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the New Windsor certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the New Windsor certificates to the exchange agent, and which letter shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as ACNB may reasonably specify and instructions for effecting the surrender of such New Windsor certificates in exchange for the merger consideration. Upon surrender of a New Windsor certificate to the exchange agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the exchange agent, the holder of such New Windsor certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) a certificate representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of ACNB common stock that such holder has the right to receive and/or (B) a check in the amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash that such holder has the right to receive. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payment.

        As soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the merger, ACNB's exchange agent will mail certificates representing shares of ACNB common stock and/or checks representing the merger consideration for shares of New Windsor common stock, together with cash in lieu of fractional share interests, to former stockholders of New Windsor who have timely submitted an effective transmittal form along with their New Windsor stock certificates.

        Certificates representing shares of ACNB common stock will be dated the effective date of the merger and will entitle the holders to dividends, distributions and all other rights and privileges of an ACNB shareholder from the effective date. Until the certificates representing New Windsor common stock are surrendered for exchange after completion of the merger, holders of such certificates will not receive the cash and/or stock consideration or dividends or distributions on the ACNB common stock into which such shares have been converted. When the certificates are surrendered to the exchange agent, any unpaid dividends or other distributions will be paid without interest. ACNB has the right to withhold dividends or any other distributions on its shares until the New Windsor stock certificates are surrendered for exchange.

        Until surrendered, each New Windsor stock certificate, following the effective date of the merger, is evidence solely of the right to receive the merger consideration. In no event will ACNB, New Windsor, or the exchange agent be liable to any former New Windsor stockholder for any amount paid

73

in good faith to a public official or agency pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

        ACNB will not issue fractional shares of ACNB common stock to New Windsor stockholders. Any former New Windsor stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of ACNB common stock shall receive cash in lieu of the fractional share of ACNB's common stock (without interest) in an amount calculated by multiplying $30.00 and the fractional share, calculated to the nearest ten-thousandth of the share of ACNB common stock, to which the holder would otherwise be entitled. For purposes of determining any fractional share interest, all shares of New Windsor common stock owned by a New Windsor stockholder shall be combined so as to calculate the maximum number of whole shares of ACNB common stock issuable to such New Windsor stockholders. (See "Proposal: The Merger—Allocation of ACNB Common Stock and Cash" below.)

Allocation of ACNB Common Stock and Cash

        Notwithstanding the election of New Windsor stockholders to receive cash, ACNB common stock or a combination of stock and cash in the merger (i) the number of shares of New Windsor common stock to be converted into the right to receive ACNB common stock on the completion of the merger shall be equal to eighty five percent (85%) of the total number of shares of New Windsor common stock issued and outstanding on the completion of the merger and (ii) the number of shares of New Windsor common stock to be converted into the right to receive the cash consideration on the completion of the merger shall be equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of shares of New Windsor common stock issued and outstanding at the completion of the merger, minus (x) the number of dissenting New Windsor shares, if any, and (y) the aggregate number of shares with respect to which cash is paid in lieu of fractional shares.

        Aggregate Stock Consideration Overelected.    If the number of stock election shares exceeds eighty five percent (85%) of the total number of shares of New Windsor common stock issued and outstanding on the effective time, then:

        Aggregate Cash Consideration Overelected.    If the number of cash election shares, including any dissenting New Windsor shares, plus the aggregate number of shares with respect to which cash is paid in lieu of fractional shares exceeds fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of shares of New Windsor common stock issued and outstanding on the effective time, then:

74


Table of Contents

        Pro Rata Reallocations.    If the exchange agent is required to convert some stock election shares into Reallocated Cash Shares, each holder of stock election shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Cash Shares in accordance with the number of stock election shares held by such holder. If the exchange agent is required to convert some cash election shares into Reallocated Stock Shares, each holder of cash election shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Stock Shares in accordance with the number of cash election shares held by such holder.

        Because the United States federal income tax consequences of receiving ACNB common stock, cash, or both ACNB common stock and cash will differ, New Windsor stockholders are urged to read carefully the information included under the caption "Proposal 1: The Merger—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" and to consult their tax advisors for a full understanding of the merger's tax consequences to them. In addition, because ACNB common stock can fluctuate in value during the election period, the economic value per share received by New Windsor stockholders who receive stock may, as of the date of receipt by them, be more or less than the $30.00 cash per share received by New Windsor stockholders who receive cash.

Effective Time

Indemnification and Insurance

        Subject to certain limitations and unless restricted by law, statute, or regulatory order or pronouncement, ACNB has agreed for six years after the merger's effective time to indemnify each person entitled to indemnification formerly from and of New Windsor and/or New Windsor State Bank against all indemnifiable liability arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the effective time, under ACNB's articles of incorporation and bylaws.

        ACNB has also agreed to make an application for and purchase, to the extent a policy can be obtained, a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy providing coverage amounts not less than the coverage amounts provided under the New Windsor directors' and officers' liability insurance policy in effect as of November 21, 2016 and on terms generally no less favorable. Such policy shall cover persons who are currently covered by the New Windsor insurance policies for a period of four (4) years after the effective time of the merger. However, ACNB shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such four (4) year period which exceed 200% of the annual premium payment as of November 21, 2016 (the "maximum amount"). If the amount of the premiums necessary to procure such insurance coverage exceeds the maximum amount, ACNB shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the most advantageous policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance obtainable for a premium equal to the maximum amount.

No Solicitations of Other Transactions

        New Windsor will notify ACNB if any inquiries or proposals relating to an acquisition proposal are received or any such negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board of directors of New Windsor may respond to, in a manner it deems appropriate, recommend or endorse, participate in any discussions, provide any third party with nonpublic information, or enter into an agreement regarding, unsolicited inquiries relating to an acquisition proposal, in each case, if the New Windsor board of directors shall have determined, in good faith after consultation with its legal and financial advisors, that the failure to do so would result in a breach of their fiduciary duties.

        Under the terms of the reorganization agreement, an "acquisition proposal" means any inquiry, proposal, indication of interest, term sheet, offer, signed agreement or disclosure of an intention to do any of the foregoing from any person or group of persons, except ACNB and its subsidiaries, whether or not in writing, relating to, contemplating or that could reasonably be expected to lead to any:

Corporate and Bank Name Following Merger

        For at least two (2) years after the effective time of the merger, ACNB will operate the former New Windsor State Bank branches as "NWSB Bank, a division of ACNB Bank" unless the board of directors of ACNB shall determine otherwise upon approval of at least 80% of the Board of Directors of ACNB in connection with an acquisition of a Maryland bank, or the acquisition of ACNB.

Regulatory Approvals

        Completion of the transaction is subject to the prior receipt of all consents or approvals of federal and state regulatory authorities required to complete the merger of ACNB and New Windsor. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, appropriate applications for approval have been filed with the appropriate regulatory authorities. ACNB and New Windsor have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals required to complete the transaction. Approvals must be obtained from the Federal Reserve Board; the FDIC, the primary federal regulator of state-chartered banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System; the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, the primary regulator of Pennsylvania-chartered deposit-taking institutions; and the Maryland Commissioner, the primary regulator of Maryland-chartered deposit-taking institutions. The merger cannot proceed in the absence of the required regulatory approvals.

Management After the Merger

        In accordance with the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of ACNB in effect as of November 21, 2016, at the 2017 annual meeting of ACNB shareholders (the "2017 annual meeting"), ACNB shall recommend to its shareholders that the total number of persons that shall constitute the whole board of directors of ACNB be increased from thirteen (13) to sixteen (16). If such recommendation to increase the number of members that shall constitute the whole board of directors of ACNB is approved by the requisite majority of ACNB shareholders at the 2017 annual meeting, then the total number of persons that shall constitute the whole board of directors of ACNB shall be increased from thirteen (13) to sixteen (16). At the effective time of the merger (subject to the terms and conditions of the reorganization agreement), thirteen (13) of the sixteen (16) directors shall be the directors of ACNB serving immediately prior to the effective time of the merger and two (2) of the sixteen (16) directors shall be Todd L. Herring and D. Arthur Seibel, Jr. who shall commence service after the effective time of the merger. One (1) seat shall be reserved for a future President of ACNB if not standing for election at the 2017 annual meeting. If so standing for election at the 2017 Annual Meeting the reference to thirteen (13) above shall be changed to fourteen (14) for purposes of this paragraph. On January 26, 2017, ACNB announced that James P. Helt, President of ACNB Bank, would succeed Thomas A. Ritter as President and Chief Executive Officer of ACNB upon Mr. Ritter's retirement effective the close of business on May 5, 2017. ACNB expects to nominate Mr. Helt to stand for election at the ACNB 2017 Annual Meeting. If the recommendation to increase the number that shall constitute the whole of the board of directors of ACNB to sixteen (16) is approved by the requisite majority of ACNB shareholders at the 2017 annual meeting, and if the merger closing shall then occur then Messrs. Herring and Seibel shall be appointed as Class 1 and Class 2 directors, respectively, by the ACNB board of directors, in accordance with the ACNB bylaws such appointment to be effective at the effective time of the merger. Due to a director retirement, it is anticipated that one ACNB director seat will be vacant at the effective time. ACNB intends to fill the vacant director seat should a suitable candidate be identified either before or after the effective time. The executive officers of ACNB immediately prior to the effective time of the merger shall be the executive officers of ACNB after the effective time. The executive officers of ACNB Bank immediately prior to the effective time of the merger and the those officers of New Windsor who have been appointed officers of ACNB Bank shall be the executive officers of ACNB Bank after the effective time.

        The following directors and executive officers of ACNB are expected to serve as directors of ACNB on the effective time of the transaction: Richard L. Alloway II, James P. Helt, Frank Elsner, III, Scott L. Kelley, James J. Lott, Donna M. Newell, J. Emmett Patterson, Daniel W. Potts, Thomas A. Ritter, Marian B. Schultz, David L. Sites, Alan J. Stock, and James E. Williams. The following directors of New Windsor are expected to become directors of ACNB on the effective time of the transaction: Todd L. Herring and D. Arthur Seibel, Jr.

Employment; Severance

        ACNB will use its best efforts to continue the employment of all current employees in positions that will contribute to the successful performance of the combined organization. Subject to execution of a customary form of release, ACNB agrees to provide severance pay to any active employee of New Windsor and New Windsor State Bank whose employment is terminated within twelve (12) months after the effective time as a result of the merger.

        The severance pay will be made if (1) the employee's position is eliminated or (2) such employee is not offered or retained in comparable employment. ACNB will not pay severance pay to any employee (1) who is being paid under an existing employment, change in control agreement, severance agreement, or other agreement (other than the New Windsor Change in Control Protection Plan (the "protection plan")), (2) whose employment is terminated for cause, or (3) who voluntarily leaves employment with New Windsor or New Windsor State Bank or ACNB Bank. ACNB shall honor the protection plan that existed as of July 1, 2016. Additionally, for those employees not subject to individual change in control or employment agreements and who are not entitled to twenty-six (26) weeks or more of severance under the protection plan, ACNB shall provide up to one (1) additional week of severance for each year of service, (in addition to the benefits under the existing protection plan) in order for the employee to receive the customary benefit of two (2) weeks of severance for each year of service up to twenty-six (26) weeks of severance in total, provided that the twenty-six (26) week limitation shall not result in the reduction of amounts payable under the protection plan based on years of service in excess of twenty-six (26) years. Employees not subject to New Windsor severance plans shall receive severance equal to two (2) weeks' pay for each full year of continuous service with a minimum severance benefit of four (4) weeks' pay and a maximum severance benefit of twenty-six (26) weeks' pay. Terminated employees will have the right to continue coverage under COBRA. During the severance payment term or until the employee is enrolled in another health plan, whichever occurs first, ACNB will continue to pay the employer's share of medical benefits that it pays for its employees generally, provided that the COBRA coverage period shall run concurrently with the period that ACNB or its subsidiaries pay the employer's share of health coverage.

Employee Benefits

        ACNB or its subsidiaries shall:

        ACNB and its subsidiaries agree to honor all vested or accrued benefit obligations to, and contractual rights of New Windsor's current and former employees, including, without limitation, any benefits or rights arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by the reorganization agreement (either alone or in combination with any other event). New Windsor or New Windsor State Bank shall amend, freeze, merge or terminate any New Windsor benefit plan effective before the effective time of the merger at the request of ACNB, provided any such action shall be in compliance with applicable laws.

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

        When considering the recommendation of the New Windsor board of directors recommendations in connection with the reorganization agreement proposal, you should be aware that some of New Windsor's executive officers and directors have interests that are in addition to, or different from, the interests of New Windsor's stockholders generally, which are described below. The New Windsor board of directors was aware of these factors and considered them, among other matters in approving the reorganization agreement and the transactions contemplated by the reorganization agreement. Except as described below, to the knowledge of New Windsor, the officers and directors of New Windsor do not have any material interest in the merger apart from their interests as stockholders of New Windsor.

Share Ownership

        As of March 17, 2017, the record date for the special meeting of New Windsor stockholders, the directors and executive officers of New Windsor may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 107,491 shares, representing 10.7% of the outstanding shares of New Windsor common stock.

Treatment of Restricted Stock

        The reorganization agreement provides that at the effective time of the merger, each unvested share of restricted stock issued and outstanding at the effective time of the merger, or subject to issuance, will fully vest pursuant to the terms of the New Windsor equity plans and convert into the right to receive the same merger consideration that all other shares of New Windsor common stock are entitled to receive in the merger. As of March 1, 2017, there were 4,660 unvested shares of New Windsor common stock subject to issuance under New Windsor's 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan.

Merger-Related Executive Compensation for New Windsor's Named Executive Officers

        This section sets forth the information regarding compensation for each executive officer of New Windsor that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger. The following table sets forth the estimated value of each executive officers' change in control payment, if terminated without cause or the executive terminates for good reason, and the anticipated vesting of previously awarded restricted stock in connection with a change in control and assumes that the merger closed on February 2, 2017, the last practicable date prior to the date of these materials. This table does not include the value of benefits in which the named executive officers are vested without regard to the occurrence of a change in control.

Under Ms. Monthley's change in control agreement with New Windsor, she would be entitled to 1.0 times her base annual salary and average bonus paid during the calendar year of her termination and the two preceding calendar years, in the event of an involuntary termination of employment other than for cause or her voluntary termination for good reason following a change in control. Ms. Monthley waived her rights under her New Windsor change in control agreement and entered into two year change in control agreement, which in the event of a change in control of ACNB and termination of her employment without cause during the term of the agreement, would provide her with a payment of two times her base salary, initially $127,878 per year. The agreement under which Ms. Monthley waived her rights under her change in control agreement with New Windsor also provides that if she is terminated without cause within two years after the effectiveness of the merger, she will be entitled to a payment of 1.0 times her base annual salary and average bonus paid during the calendar year of her termination and the two preceding calendar years. Ms. Monthley is also entitled to a $10,000 bonus upon closing of the merger. Ms. Monthley has also entered into a noncompetition agreement with ACNB which has a two year term, and will limit her ability to compete with ACNB for a period of two years following her termination of employment.

Current Employment Agreement and Change in Control Agreements

        Each of New Windsor's executive officers referenced in the chart above, other than Mr. Rasmussen, is a party to a change in control agreement, dated as of May 17, 2016. Each agreement provides for the payment of one times (except Ms. Primm who receives 2.49 times) the officer's then current base salary and average bonus paid during the calendar year of executive's termination and the two preceding calendar years, in the event of an involuntary termination of employment, other than for cause (as defined in the agreement) or the officer's voluntary termination for good reason within the one year period after the effective date of a change in control. The merger constitutes a change in control for purposes of these agreements. Under the change in control agreements "good reason" means a termination by the officer if any of the following events occurs without the officer's express written consent: (i) a material reduction in officer's base salary as in effect immediately before the change in control; (ii) a material reduction in the officer's authority, duties or responsibilities from the position and attributes associated with the officer's position; (iii) a relocation of the officer's principal place of employment by more than thirty (30) miles from the principal place of employment as of the date of the Change in control agreement; or (iv) the liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of New Windsor State Bank, or the transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, unless the successor assumes the duties and obligations of the bank under the employment or change in control agreement. Each officer, other than Ms. Primm, would also be entitled to payment of up to one year of health and dental premiums. Ms. Primm would be entitled to up to two and one-half years of health and dental premiums. As described below, Ms. Monthley has agreed to the termination of her change in control agreement and entered into a new change in control agreement and a release agreement with ACNB.

        Mr. Rasmussen is a party to an employment agreement, dated May 17, 2016, with New Windsor State Bank pursuant to which he serves as President and Chief Executive Officer. His employment agreement provides that he will be entitled to a lump sum payment of 2.99 times his base amount (as

92


Table of Contents

calculated for purposes of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code) following his involuntary termination of employment without cause (as defined) or voluntary termination following for good reason during the two years following a change in control. The merger constitutes a change in control for purposes of these agreements. Under the change in control agreements "good reason" means a termination by Mr. Rasmussen for failure to reappoint him as Chief Executive Officer and President; (ii) a material change in his functions, duties or responsibilities with the bank or its affiliates, which change would cause his position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance or scope the relocation of his principal place of employment by more than thirty (30) miles from its location at the effective date of the employment agreement; (iv) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites provided to him or a material breach of the employment agreement by the bank. Mr. Rasmussen would also be entitled to payment of up to one year of health and dental premiums. As described below, Mr. Rasmussen has agreed to the termination of his employment agreement and entered into a new employment agreement with ACNB.

New Employment and Change in Control Agreements

Tom N. Rasmussen Employment Agreement

        Tom N. Rasmussen entered into a three year evergreen employment agreement with ACNB Bank which will become effective upon the effective date of the merger whereby he will be paid a base salary of $230,000 per year minus applicable withholdings and deductions and is subject to a formulaic bonus structure, whereby he will be paid an initial sign on bonus of $100,000 upon completion of the systems conversion; a $50,000 bonus on the second anniversary date of the closing date of the merger; and an annual bonus for the first three years of $30,000 per year if certain performance metrics are met. He will also be eligible to participate in ACNB's Executive Deferred Retirement Plan and ACNB shall contribute $35,000 per year on his behalf. After the third anniversary date of the merger, Mr. Rasmussen will be eligible to participate in ACNB Bank's senior executive management bonus performance plan. In the employment agreement, Mr. Rasmussen also agrees to terminate his current supplemental executive retirement plan and any rights he may have under his employment agreement with New Windsor State Bank and the New Windsor State Bank Amended and Restated Change in Control Protection Plan.

        The agreement automatically terminates if Mr. Rasmussen is terminated for "Cause", as defined in the agreement, and all rights under the agreement will terminate with the exception of the arbitration clause. The agreement automatically terminates if Mr. Rasmussen terminates his employment for "Good Reason", as defined in the agreement. If the agreement terminates for "Good Reason", Mr. Rasmussen will receive two (2) times his salary and benefits for two (2) years. The agreements automatically terminate upon his disability, as defined in the agreement, and Mr. Rasmussen will receive employee benefits and 75% of his compensation until (a) he returns to work, (b) reaches age sixty-five (65), (c) dies, or (d) the employment period under the agreement ends. The agreement automatically terminates if Mr. Rasmussen voluntarily terminates employment and/or the agreement. If within two (2) years of a change in control, Mr. Rasmussen is terminated without cause or within one hundred eighty (180) days of a "Change in Control", he terminates employment for "Good Reason", then he will be entitled to 2.99 times his then current compensation and to continue to receive benefits for two (2) years. In the event this payment would result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the payment will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid the tax. The Agreement also contains restrictive covenants precluding him from engaging in competitive activities in a certain area and provisions preventing him from disclosing proprietary information about the Corporation and ACNB Bank.

Lisa Monthley Release Agreement and Change in Control Agreement

        Ms. Monthley has agreed to the termination of her existing change in control agreement, effective as of the effective time of the merger, and has entered into a new two year change in control

93


Table of Contents

agreement, which in the event of a change in control of ACNB and termination of her employment without cause during the term of the agreement, would provide her with a payment of two times her base salary, initially $127,878 per year. The agreement under which Ms. Monthley waived her rights under her change in control agreement with New Windsor also provides that if she is terminated without cause within two years after the effectiveness of the merger, she will be entitled to a payment of 1.0 times her base annual salary and average bonus paid during the calendar year of her termination and the two preceding calendar years. Ms. Monthley is also entitled to a $10,000 bonus upon closing of the merger. Ms. Monthley has also entered into a noncompetition agreement with ACNB which has a two year term, and will limit her ability to compete with ACNB for a period of two years following her termination of employment. Ms. Monthley is expected to continue in the employ of ACNB as a Senior Vice President in Maryland, but will not be considered an "executive officer" of ACNB.

Split Dollar Life Insurance

        Each of the executive officers, other than Mr. Alessi, are parties to split dollar life insurance plans whereby upon a change in control each will be vested in a life insurance policy which provides for $15,000 of death benefits unless they are provided a similar policy from ACNB.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

        Messrs. Rasmussen and Paholsky are each parties to supplemental executive retirement plans dated May 1, 2016. Upon a change in control and a subsequent termination of employment, each will be entitled to his vested account balance, of approximately $71,521 and $41,006, respectively as of January 3, 2017. There is no acceleration of vesting of the benefits under the agreements.

Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers

        For a period of six (6) years after the effective time of the merger, ACNB shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law or statute, (and except as may otherwise be limited by 12 CFR Part 359), indemnify each person entitled to indemnification from and of New Windsor and/or New Windsor State Bank against all indemnifiable liabilities arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the effective time, under ACNB's articles of incorporation and bylaws. However, (i) ACNB shall not be required to indemnify such persons against civil monetary penalties, or fines, imposed or levied by any bank regulator, including but not limited to payments prohibited under 12 CFR Part 359, and (ii) if the indemnified party whose expenses are advanced provides an undertaking (in reasonably and customary form) to repay to ACNB such advances if it is ultimately determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to indemnification, ACNB shall advance expenses to the fullest extent permitted in accordance with its articles of incorporation and bylaws.

        ACNB shall make an application for and purchase, to the extent a policy can be obtained, a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy providing coverage amounts not less than the coverage amounts provided under the New Windsor directors' and officers' liability insurance policy in effect as of November 21, 2016 and on terms generally no less favorable. Such policy shall cover persons who are currently covered by the New Windsor directors' and officers' liability insurance policies for a period of four (4) years after the effective time of the merger. However, ACNB shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such four (4) year period which exceed 200% of the annual premium payment as the date of the reorganization agreement (the "maximum amount"). If the amount of the premiums necessary to procure such insurance coverage exceeds the maximum amount, ACNB shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the most advantageous policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance obtainable for a premium equal to the maximum amount.

Voting Agreements

        As a condition to entering into the reorganization agreement, each of the directors and certain executive officers of New Windsor and New Windsor State Bank entered into an agreement pursuant

94


Table of Contents

to which each such director or executive officer agreed to vote all of his or her shares of New Windsor common stock in favor of the reorganization agreement. The forms of voting agreement, which are substantially the same, are attached as Exhibit A to Annex A of this document. The voting agreements may have the effect of discouraging persons from making a proposal for an acquisition transaction involving New Windsor. The following is a brief summary of the material provisions of the voting agreements:

Accounting Treatment

        The accounting principles to this transaction as described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 805 ("ASC 805") provide transactions that represent business combinations are to be accounted for under the acquisition method. The acquisition method requires all of the following steps: a) identifying the acquirer; b) determining the acquisition date, c) recognizing and measuring the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquire; and d) recognizing and measuring goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

        The appropriate accounting treatment for this transaction is as a business combination under the acquisition method. On the acquisition date, as defined by ASC 805, ACNB will record at fair value the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest, and goodwill (or a gain from a bargain purchase). The results of operations for the combined company will be reported prospectively subsequent to the acquisition date.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

        Subject to the limitations, assumptions, and qualifications as discussed herein, in the opinion of each of Bybel Rutledge LLP and Miles & Stockbridge P.C., the following discussion addresses the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to U.S. holders (as defined below) of New Windsor common stock. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, judicial authorities, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this document and all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations which could affect the accuracy of this discussion.

        This discussion assumes that U.S. holders of New Windsor common stock hold their shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to U.S. holders in light of their particular circumstances and does not address aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be applicable to U.S. holders subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws (including banks; financial institutions; tax-exempt organizations; insurance companies; dealers or brokers in securities; traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting; investors or owners of pass-through entities; mutual funds; holders subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code; regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, controlled foreign corporations; passive foreign investment companies; persons who hold their respective shares of New Windsor common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, conversion or other integrated securities transaction; expatriates;

or persons who acquired their New Windsor common stock as compensation or through a tax qualified retirement plan, or who held or acquired their New Windsor common stock through an employee stock ownership plan or dividend reinvestment plan). In addition, this discussion does not address the tax consequences to holders of New Windsor common stock who exercise appraisal and/or dissenter's rights. Further, this discussion does not consider any aspect of state, local, or foreign taxation or any aspects of U.S. federal tax law (such as the unearned income Medicare contribution tax pursuant to the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010) other than federal income tax law.

        This discussion is not intended to be tax advice to any particular holder of New Windsor common stock. Tax matters regarding the merger are complicated, and the tax consequences of the merger to you will depend on your particular situation. New Windsor stockholders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the particular U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences to them of the merger.

        For purposes of this discussion, you are a "U.S. holder" if you beneficially own New Windsor common stock and you are:

        If an entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds New Windsor common stock, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners of partnerships holding New Windsor common stock should consult their own tax advisors.

        It is a condition to the closing of the merger that ACNB receive the opinion of its special counsel, Bybel Rutledge LLP, and that New Windsor receive the opinion of its special counsel, Miles & Stockbridge P.C., substantially to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations, and assumptions set forth or referred to in that opinion (including factual representations contained in certificates of officers of ACNB and New Windsor), the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The condition is waivable, and in such case, ACNB and New Windsor will undertake to recirculate and resolicit if the condition is waived by either party and the change in the tax consequences is material. The tax opinions are not binding on the IRS or the courts, and neither ACNB nor New Windsor intends to request a ruling from the IRS with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below.

        ACNB has received an opinion from Bybel Rutledge LLP and New Windsor has received an opinion from Miles & Stockbridge P.C. to the effect that the merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Based on the opinions that the merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger are as follows:

Exchange of New Windsor common stock for ACNB common stock

        A U.S. holder that exchanges shares of New Windsor common stock for shares of ACNB common stock in the merger generally will not recognize any gain or loss except in respect of cash received in lieu of any fractional share of ACNB common stock (as discussed below). The aggregate adjusted tax

96


Table of Contents

basis of the shares of ACNB common stock received by the U.S. holder in the merger will be equal to the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of New Windsor common stock surrendered in exchange therefor, reduced by the tax basis allocable to any fractional share of ACNB common stock for which cash is received. The holding period of the ACNB common stock received by a U.S. holder will include the holding period of the shares of New Windsor common stock surrendered in exchange therefor. If a U.S. holder acquired different blocks of New Windsor common stock at different times or at different prices, the holder should consult his or her tax advisor with regard to identifying the bases or holding periods of the particular shares of ACNB common stock received in the exchange.

Exchange of New Windsor common stock solely for cash

        In general, if, pursuant to the merger, a New Windsor shareholder exchanges all of his or her shares of New Windsor common stock solely for cash, such holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and his or her adjusted tax basis in the shares of New Windsor common stock surrendered, which gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder's holding period with respect to the New Windsor common stock surrendered is more than one year. The deductibility of capital loss is subject to limitations.

Exchange of New Windsor common stock for ACNB common stock and cash

        If, pursuant to the merger, a New Windsor shareholder exchanges all of his or her shares of New Windsor common stock for a combination of ACNB common stock and cash, the shareholder generally will recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the amount of gain realized (i.e., the excess of the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of the ACNB common stock received pursuant to the merger over such shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the shares of New Windsor common stock surrendered) and (2) the amount of cash received pursuant to the merger. For this purpose, gain or loss must be calculated separately for each identifiable block of shares surrendered in the exchange, and loss realized on one block of shares may not be used to offset gain realized on another block of New Windsor shares. Any recognized gain generally will be long-term capital gain if the New Windsor shareholder's holding period with respect to the New Windsor common stock surrendered is more than one year. However, the cash received may be treated as a dividend if the receipt of the cash has the effect of the distribution of a dividend for United States federal income tax purposes (under Sections 302 and 356 of the Code).

        The aggregate tax basis of New Windsor common stock received by a New Windsor shareholder that exchanges his or her shares of New Windsor common stock for a combination of ACNB common stock and cash pursuant to the merger will be equal to the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of New Windsor common stock surrendered for ACNB common stock and cash, reduced by the amount of cash received by the New Windsor shareholder pursuant to the merger, and increased by the amount of gain (including any portion of the gain that is treated as a dividend as described below), if any, recognized by the New Windsor shareholder on the exchange. The holding period of the ACNB common stock will include the holding period of the shares of New Windsor common stock surrendered. If a New Windsor shareholder has differing bases or holding periods in respect of his or her shares of New Windsor common stock, such shareholder should consult his or her tax advisor prior to the exchange with regard to identifying the bases or holding periods of the particular shares of ACNB common stock received in the exchange.

Cash received in lieu of a fractional share

        Cash received by a U.S. holder in lieu of a fractional share of ACNB common stock generally will be treated as received in redemption of the fractional share, and gain or loss generally will be recognized based on the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share and the portion of the holder's aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of New Windsor common stock surrendered that is allocable to the fractional share. The gain or loss generally will be long-term

97


Table of Contents

capital gain or loss if the holding period for the fractional share (including the holding period of the shares of New Windsor common stock surrendered therefor) is more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Backup Withholding

        If a U.S. holder receives cash in the merger (including cash received in lieu of a fractional share), the holder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding at a rate of 28%. You generally will not be subject to backup withholding if you: (1) provide an accurate taxpayer identification number, certify that you are not subject to backup withholding and otherwise comply with the backup withholding rules; or (2) provide proof that you are exempt from backup withholding. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against a U.S. holder's federal income tax liability provided that the holder furnishes the required information to the IRS.

Information Reporting

        All New Windsor stockholders who receive ACNB common stock as a result of the merger will be required to retain records pertaining to the merger and certain "significant holders" of New Windsor common stock who hold at least 1% of the outstanding New Windsor common stock (by vote or by value) immediately before the merger, or who own New Windsor common stock with a basis of $1 million or more, will be required to file with their U.S. federal income tax return for the year in which the merger takes place a statement setting forth certain facts relating to the merger.

        The foregoing discussion is not intended to be a complete analysis or description of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger and is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice. New Windsor stockholders are strongly urged to consult with their tax advisors to determine the particular U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences to them of the merger.

Resales of ACNB Common Stock

        The shares of ACNB stock to be issued to stockholders of New Windsor under the reorganization agreement have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may be freely traded without restriction by holders who will not be affiliates of ACNB after the merger.

        Certain directors and executive officers of New Windsor will be considered affiliates of ACNB after the merger. They may resell shares of ACNB common stock received in the merger only if the shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act or an exemption is available. They may resell under the safe harbor provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or as otherwise permitted under the Securities Act. Each person deemed to be an affiliate will enter into an agreement with ACNB providing that the person will not transfer any shares of ACNB stock received in the merger, except in compliance with the Securities Act. ACNB encourages any such person to obtain advice of securities counsel before reselling any ACNB stock.

Appraisal Rights

        Any New Windsor shareholder who objects to the merger and follows the specific procedures set forth in Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL will be entitled to receive payment in cash of the fair value of their shares of New Windsor common stock. If you want to demand payment of the fair value of your common stock, you must fully comply with the procedures set out in the MGCL. A copy of Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL is included as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus. The required procedures are summarized below.

98


Table of Contents

        Our notice of the date on which the articles of merger were accepted may contain an offer of payment of the amount which we believe is the fair value of your New Windsor common stock along with certain financial disclosures. If you have followed all of the procedural steps required to demand payment of fair value and have not received payment for your New Windsor common stock, you may, or we may, within 50 days of the acceptance of the articles of merger, petition the court of equity in the county of New Windsor's registered agent for appraisal of the fair value of your New Windsor common stock as of the date stockholders receive notice of the proposed transaction, without including any appreciation or depreciation resulting directly or indirectly from the merger or its proposal.

        Any stockholder who files a notice of objection, but fails to file a written demand for the payment of fair value in a timely manner, will be bound by the vote of the New Windsor stockholders and will not be entitled to receive payment in cash as an objecting stockholder.

        If you demand payment for your New Windsor common stock, you have no right to the ACNB common stock or cash into which your New Windsor common stock would be converted after the merger is approved, except the payment of fair value. If you demand payment for your New Windsor common stock, your rights as a New Windsor stockholder will be restored if the demand for payment is withdrawn, a petition of appraisal is not filed within the time required, a court determines that you are not entitled to relief, or the merger is abandoned or rescinded. A demand for payment may be withdrawn only with our consent.

99


Table of Contents

        If the court finds that the objecting stockholder is entitled to an appraisal of his or her stock, it shall appoint three disinterested appraisers to determine the fair value of the stock on terms and conditions the court considers proper. Within 60 days after appointment, or longer as the court may direct, the appraisers must file with the court and mail to each stockholder who is a party to the proceeding their report stating their conclusion as to the fair value of the common stock. Within 15 days after the filing of the report, any party may object to the report and request a rehearing. The court, upon motion of any party, will enter an order either confirming, modifying or rejecting the report and, if confirmed or modified, enter judgment directing the time within which the payment must be made. If the report is rejected, the court may determine the fair value or remit the proceeding to the same or other appraisers. Any judgment entered pursuant to a court proceeding will include interest from the date fair value was determined, unless the court finds that stockholders' refusal to accept a written offer to purchase the shares was arbitrary and vexatious or not in good faith.

        The cost of the appraisal proceedings, including compensation and expenses of the appraisers, will be ACNB's responsibility, except that all or any part of the expenses may be assessed against any and all of the objecting stockholders to whom an offer to pay for common stock has been made, if the court finds the failure to accept the offer was arbitrary, vexatious or not in good faith. Costs of the proceedings will not include fees and expenses of counsel. Costs of the proceedings may include fees and expenses of experts only if we did not make an offer of payment for your common stock or if the value of the common stock as determined in the appraisal proceeding materially exceeds the amount offered by us.

        The preceding is a summary of the material aspects of Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL, and is qualified by reference to the text of the statute. We urge you to read the full text of the statute which is included as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Years Ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014

Overview

        The following discussion compares the financial condition of New Windsor as of December 31, 2015 to the financial condition at December 31, 2014 and the results of operations for each of the three years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the related notes as well as the statistical information included in this discussion.

        New Windsor earned net income of $1,515,921 in 2015, an increase of $320,620 or 26.8% compared to 2014. Earnings per share increased to $2.19 in 2015 from $1.95 in 2014. The most noteworthy factors impacting the 2015 results were as follows:

        Net interest income increased 11.0% due to growth in loans, a shift in the deposit mix and maturing of high-cost time deposits. Loans increased in 2015 by 8.3% while deposits increased 3.7% for the year. With respect to noninterest income, growth was seen in deposit service charges, asset management income and mortgage banking activities. Noninterest expense increased by 9.9%.

        Commencing on June 1, 2015, New Windsor conducted a common stock offering to Maryland residents who were existing holders of New Windsor's common stock, holders of the 8% Fixed Rate Unsecured Subordinated Notes due in 2020 and to other "accredited investors". The purpose of the

106


Table of Contents

offering was to strengthen New Windsor's core equity capital, reduce future interest expense by redeeming the subordinated notes and support growth and expansion of New Windsor State Bank. The offering was concluded on December 31, 2015. A total of 382,999 shares were issued, increasing stockholders' equity by $5,942,000 after costs related to the offering. This included 61,485 shares related to the conversion of the subordinated notes into common stock. The net proceeds of the offering were used to fully redeem the remaining subordinated notes and the remainder contributed to New Windsor State Bank in the form of Tier I capital to support future growth.

Financial Condition

        Total assets were $294,764,754 at December 31, 2015, reflecting growth of $12.1 million or 4.3% from year-end 2014. The net increase in assets was funded by growth in deposits and stockholders' equity. Loans increased $19.1 million or 8.3% from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015. This net increase resulted primarily from growth in construction loans and residential real estate—mortgage loans. The growth in loans was partially funded by cash flows from the investment portfolio. Investment securities decreased $7.3 million over the course of the year as a result of maturities, calls and principal payments. Deposits increased $9.0 million or 3.7% with growth in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and savings accounts. Stockholders' equity increased $7.5 million in 2015 as a result of a stock offering conducted in 2015 along with the retention of earnings.

Investment Securities

        The investment securities portfolio provides earnings and liquidity, as well as an effective tool in managing interest rate risk. New Windsor's investment activities are governed internally by a board-approved policy. The policy is carried out by New Windsor's Asset/Liability Management Committee, which meets regularly to review the economic environment and establish investment and borrowing strategies. Investment strategies are determined in consideration of the interest rate environment, balance sheet mix, actual and anticipated loan demand, funding opportunities and the overall interest rate sensitivity and liquidity position of New Windsor. Excluding the U.S. government sponsored agencies, there was no concentration in securities of any single issuer that exceeded 10% of stockholders' equity.

        Available-for-sale securities are carried at their estimated fair value. At year-end 2015, available-for-sale securities totaled $25,368,828, a net decrease of $7.3 million compared to year-end 2014. U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies decreased $6.4 million.

        Proceeds from maturities, calls and principal payments totaled $8.5 million and $9.0 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively. There were no sales of investment securities in 2015. Proceeds from sales totaled $8.4 million in 2014 and resulted in net losses of $37,000. Purchases of $1.0 million were completed in 2015. There were no purchases in 2014. The activity in 2015 and 2014 reflected a strategy to fund loan growth with cash flow and sale proceeds while continuing to meet pledging requirements.

        New Windsor does not have any exposure to subprime mortgage-backed securities.

Loan Portfolio

        New Windsor has established policies and procedures designed to mitigate credit risk and to maintain the quality of the loan portfolio. These policies include underwriting standards for new credit as well as continuous monitoring and reporting policies for asset quality and the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These policies, coupled with ongoing training efforts, have provided effective checks and balances for the risks associated with the lending process. Lending authority is based on the type of loan, the loan amount requested and the experience of the lending officer.

        As of December 31, 2015, New Windsor's gross loan portfolio totaled $250,890,449, representing 85% of its total assets. Gross loans increased by $19.1 million or 8.3% from December 31, 2014.

        New Windsor State Bank's emphasis on meeting the market's growing demand for construction residential mortgage loans was reflected in the growth in construction and land development loans of $7.4 million and residential real estate—mortgage loans of $4.1 million.

        The commercial real estate segment increased by $5.9 million in 2015. This growth reflects New Windsor's success in building relationships in its market and expansion into adjacent markets, continuing a trend of growth from prior years.

        In addition to the residential real estate portfolio activity noted above, in order to offer customers a full range of fixed-rate residential mortgage products, the Bank partners with other companies that

108


Table of Contents

specialize in this area, selling a large portion of residential mortgages that are originated. This approach allows New Windsor to recognize noninterest income while mitigating interest rate risk. While New Windsor recognizes risks associated with some types of commercial loans, commercial borrowers' financial condition is closely monitored by management through the analysis of financial statements and income tax returns.

        New Windsor does not have any direct or indirect exposure to subprime loans.

Provision for Credit Losses

        There was no provision for credit losses in 2015 compared to $110,000 in 2014 and $145,000 in 2013. The decrease in the provision for credit losses generally reflects the declining volume of non-performing loans, along with the assessment of the related collateral values and the change in the

109


Table of Contents

loan portfolio outstandings. The provision for credit losses charged against earnings is based, in part, upon the experience of credit losses and an estimation of inherent risks in the current loan portfolio as well as industry trends and economic conditions that impact the collectability of loans. New Windsor places an emphasis on asset quality and performs a thorough analysis and assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses relative to the risks in the loan portfolio. See further discussion in "Allowance for Credit Losses" and Note 4 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Allowance for Credit Losses

        New Windsor maintains the allowance for credit losses at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio and is established through a provision for credit losses charged to earnings. Management regularly conducts an analysis of the adequacy of the allowance based on its knowledge of its loans, loss history and qualitative risk factors existing in its market. An outside firm is engaged to independently assess the methodology and perform various loan review functions.

        New Windsor prepares the analysis of the allowance with the objective of quantifying portfolio risk into a dollar amount of inherent losses. For impaired loans, the related allowance is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if repayment is expected to be provided by the collateral. The allowance associated with the remaining loan portfolio is based on the analysis of historical loan loss ratios, delinquency trends, and previous collection experience along with an assessment of the effects of external economic conditions and other qualitative factors.

        Based on the above, management believes that the allowance for credit losses is adequate to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2015. However, there can be no assurance that adjustments to the provision for credit losses will not be required in the future. Changes in the economic assumptions underlying management's estimates and judgments, adverse developments in the economy or market area, or changes in the circumstances of particular borrowers are criteria that could change and result in adjustments to the provision for credit losses. Management closely monitors problem loans, employs intensive collection efforts for loans previously charged-off and continually attempts to improve underwriting quality.

        The allowance for credit losses was $2,982,328 or 1.19% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2015. This compares to an allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2014 of $3,486,895 or 1.50% of loans outstanding. The decrease in the reserve coverage generally reflects the continued reduction of problem loans, overall improved credit quality of the portfolio and the stabilization of collateral values.

        Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. Recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance.

        Net charge-offs amounted to $504,567 in 2015 or 0.21% of average loans compared to $87,916 or 0.04% in 2014. The majority of the charge-offs in 2015 related to residential real estate—mortgage loans in conjunction with foreclosure proceedings. Nearly all of the charge-offs in 2015 and 2014 were on loans for which specific reserves were established.

        The allocation of the allowance, presented in the following table, is based primarily on the factors discussed above in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance as a whole. Since all of those factors are subject to change, the allocation is not necessarily indicative of the category of future loan losses, and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any category.

Nonperforming Assets

        Nonperforming assets, which consist of loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned and repossessed assets, totaled $1,497,715 at December 31, 2015, compared to $2,722,391 at year-end 2014. After experiencing increases in the level of nonperforming assets in previous years, reflective of the general economic conditions, the bank has experienced declines every year since peaking in 2011 as a result of concerted efforts by management to work out problem loan situations. This was achieved principally by the payoff of loans through refinancings or the sale of underlying collateral, the charge-off of uncollectible amounts, the sale of other real estate owned properties and loans returning to performing status after a prolonged period of current payments. In addition, the bank experienced a significant decline in the volume of loans moving into nonperforming status in 2014 and 2015.

        New Windsor generally places loans, except for consumer loans, on non-accrual when it becomes 90 days past due. Interest accrual may also be discontinued earlier if, in management's opinion, collection is unlikely. Generally, consumer installment loans are not placed on nonaccrual, but are charged off when they are 90 days past due. Payments on nonaccrual loans are applied against the principal balance outstanding. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Deposits

        Customer deposits, because of their stability, are the largest source of funds used to support New Windsor's growth. "Core" deposits are deposits that tend to remain with New Windsor despite the change in the market's interest rate environment.

        New Windsor offers a broad selection of deposit instruments to individuals and businesses including noninterest-bearing checking accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. Deposit account terms vary with respect to the minimum balance required, the time period the funds must remain on deposit and service charge schedules.

        Total deposits were $249,036,320 as of December 31, 2015, an increase of $9.0 million or 3.7% when compared to 2014. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits grew $5.1 million and savings accounts grew $3.9 million. This growth reflects positive results from efforts to develop new relationships and grow existing relationships, both personal and business. It also reflects New Windsor's efforts to shift the funding mix away from single-service, "rate-shopping" time deposit customers. Time deposits decreased year-over-year by $1.4 million. At December 31, 2015, time deposits comprised 30% of total deposits, down from 31% at December 31, 2014 and over 50% in prior years.

Short-Term Debt

        Short-term debt consists of securities sold under repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, secured lines with correspondent banks and short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB). At various times New Windsor utilizes federal funds purchased, secured lines with correspondent banks and short-term FHLB borrowings due to fluctuations in loan demand and deposit balances. At December 31, 2015, New Windsor had outstanding an $18 million short-term advance with the FHLB.

Long-Term Debt

        On June 23, 2005, New Windsor Capital Trust I (the "Trust I"), a Delaware business trust formed, funded and all of the voting securities of which are owned by New Windsor, issued $5,000,000 of 6.39% fixed rate capital securities to institutional investors in a private pooled transaction. The proceeds were transferred to New Windsor in exchange for junior subordinated debt ("2035 junior subordinated debentures") under the same terms and conditions. New Windsor then contributed the full amount to New Windsor State Bank in the form of Tier I capital. New Windsor has, through various contractual arrangements, fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of Trust I's obligations with respect to the capital securities.

        Under applicable regulatory guidelines, a portion of the capital securities qualify as Tier I capital, and the remaining portion qualify as Tier II capital. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the entire $5,000,000 of the outstanding capital securities qualified as Tier I capital at December 31, 2015.

        The 2035 junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trust I and carry a fixed rate of 6.39%. Both the capital securities of the Trust I and the junior subordinated debentures are scheduled to mature on June 23, 2035, unless called by New Windsor at 100% of the principal amount.

        Commencing June 1, 2010, New Windsor offered $5,500,000 of 8.00% fixed rate subordinated notes ("2020 subordinated notes") in a private placement offering. New Windsor completed the issuance on December 29, 2010 and contributed the majority of the proceeds to New Windsor State Bank in the form of Tier I capital.

        Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the 2020 subordinated notes qualify as Tier II capital but a portion (20%) would be excluded each year starting in 2015, the fifth year prior to the maturity date.

        From September 30, 2015 through December 31, 2015, $983,758 of the 2020 subordinated debentures were converted into common stock as part of New Windsor's stock offering and the remaining $4,516,242 was fully redeemed by New Windsor.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        Through the normal course of business, New Windsor enters into certain contractual obligations and other commitments. Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are legally binding conditional agreements generally having fixed expiration or termination dates. These commitments generally require customers to maintain certain credit standards and are established based on management's credit assessment of the customer. The commitments may expire without being drawn upon. With the exception of New Windsor's obligations in connection with its irrevocable letters of credit and loan commitments, and in connection with its trust preferred securities, New Windsor has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on New Windsor's financial condition, changes in financial condition, income or expense, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, that is material to investors. For further discussion, refer to Note 11 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Capital Resources

        The authorized stock of New Windsor consists of 10,000,000 shares of common stock with $.01 par value. There were 1,000,711 and 583,772 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Average shares outstanding have been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend, declared on January 20, 2015 to shareholders of record on January 30, 2015 and paid on February 13, 2015.

        Stockholders' equity ended 2015 at $21,802,952, a net increase of $7,477,078 from December 31, 2014. Commencing on June 1, 2015, New Windsor conducted a common stock offering to Maryland residents who were existing holders of New Windsor's common stock, holders of the 8% Fixed Rate Unsecured Subordinated Notes due in 2020 and to other "accredited investors". The purpose of the offering was to strengthen New Windsor's core equity capital, reduce future interest expense by redeeming the subordinated notes and support growth and expansion of New Windsor State Bank. The offering was concluded on December 31, 2015. A total of 382,999 shares were issued, increasing stockholders' equity by $5,942,000 after costs related to the offering. This included 61,485 shares related to the conversion of the subordinated notes into common stock. The net proceeds of the offering were used to fully redeem the remaining subordinated notes and the remainder contributed to New Windsor State Bank in the form of Tier I capital to support future growth. Net income in 2015 was $1,515,921. New Windsor paid $146,862 in cash dividends in 2015.

        Tangible book value per share was $21.79, $24.54 and $22.01 at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Per share data has been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend declared in 2015 as noted above. The decrease in tangible book value from 2014 to 2015 is reflective of the dilutive effect of the 2015 stock offering offset in part by the increase in retained earnings.

        Capital is classified as Common Equity Tier 1 (common stock, related surplus and retained earnings), Tier 1 capital (Common Equity Tier 1 capital less certain intangible assets plus a portion of the trust preferred securities) and Total Capital (Tier 1 capital plus the allowed portion of the allowance for credit losses, the portion of trust preferred securities not included in Tier 1 capital and qualified subordinated debentures).

        The Basel III Capital Rules became effective on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital (as defined by regulations) to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

        The primary source of New Windsor's earnings is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Earning assets include loans, securities and federal funds sold. Interest-bearing liabilities include deposits and borrowed funds. To compare tax-exempt yields to taxable yields, amounts are adjusted to pretax equivalents based on a 34% federal corporate income tax rate and the 8.25% state corporate income tax rate. For yield calculation purposes, nonaccruing loans are included in average loan balances. Loan fees are included in interest income.

        Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, the volume of interest-bearing assets and liabilities and the composition of those assets and liabilities (mix). The "net interest spread" and "net interest margin" are two common statistics related to the evaluation of net interest income. The net interest rate spread represents the difference between the yields earned on interest-earning assets and the rates paid for interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin is defined as the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets. Due primarily to funding provided by noninterest-bearing deposits and stockholders' equity, the net interest margin exceeds the net interest rate spread. Both net interest spread and net interest margin are stated as a percentage with each .01% often referred to as one basis point.

        $ 10,010,621               $ 9,015,167               $ 7,575,405        

        Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, totaled $10,037,509 in 2015, an increase of $989,352 or 10.9% compared to 2014. The increase was a result of a 1.2% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets while net interest margin increased by 32 basis points.

        The increase in interest-earning assets of $3.2 million also included a continued change in the mix of earning assets that enhanced the overall yield earned. Year-over-year, average loans increased $14.7 million or 6.5% with growth in commercial and residential real estate loans. Loans at year-end were up $19.1 million or 8.3% from the prior year-end. The majority of the growth in average loans was funded by cash flows from the investment portfolio. Average investment securities and restricted stock decreased $12.0 million resulting from maturities, calls and principal payments.

        The net growth in earning assets was funded with an increase in deposits. Average deposits increased by $5.2 million or 2.2% with an increase in average the average balance of demand deposits offset in part by a decrease in time deposits.

        Net interest margin increased to 3.64% from 3.32% resulting from a number of factors:

        For the year ended December 31, 2014, net interest income was $9,048,157, an increase of $1,434,554 or 18.8% from net interest income of $7,613,603 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

        In 2014, average earning assets increased 4.6% to $272,606,166, up from $260,587,191 in 2013.

        The net interest margin was 3.32% in 2014 compared to 2.92% in 2013. The yield on earning assets increased 6 basis points from 2013 to 2014. The rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 39 basis points from 2013 to 2014. The continued low level of interest rates impacted the rate on new loan originations and continued to result in downward repricing of, and renegotiation of lower rates on, existing loans. This was offset by the deployment of low-yielding interest-bearing deposits to fund loan growth, the downward repricing of maturing time deposits and the shift in funding mix away from time deposits.

        The preceding discussion on the changes in net interest margin is further supported by the following "volume / rate" table. As noted, changes in net interest income occur from year to year due to changes in both the levels of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the average rates received on earning assets and average rates paid on deposits and debt. Changes in the levels of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are referred to as volume-related variances, while changes in average rates received on earning assets and average rates paid on deposits and debt are referred to as rate-related variances.

        The level of service charges on deposits increased in 2015 after declining in 2014. The increase in large part was the result of the consolidation and restructuring of personal deposit accounts which offered greater features to customers and included new or revised fee structures. The decrease in service charges in 2014 was due to lower NSF/overdraft income and fees on uncollected funds reflecting customers' greater awareness of service charges and changes in behavior to avoid such fees.

        During 2014, a strategy to sell investment securities to provide funding for loan growth was implemented. Proceeds from sales totaled $8.4 million and net losses of $37 thousand resulted.

        Windsor Investment Services is New Windsor's asset management division that offers mutual funds, annuities, bonds, stocks, insurance products and financial planning as a compliment to New Windsor's traditional financial services. This revenue source continued to grow in 2015 with income increasing 7.3% reflecting greater assets under management. As of December 31, 2015, Windsor Investments had $79.6 million of assets under management, an increase of 10% from year-end 2014.

        Mortgage banking experienced another good year in 2015, reflecting continued low mortgage rates and a strategic emphasis on this line of business. The sale of loans held for sale totaled $21.5 million in 2015 versus $13.4 million in 2014 and $14.1 million in 2013.

        VISA Check Card fee income continued the trend of annual increases in 2015 and provides an important source of revenue for New Windsor. Ongoing efforts to promote the usage of the card are expected to positively impact this revenue going forward.

        Net gain on sale of other real estate owned ("ORE") properties were realized on the sale of two properties in 2015, three in 2014 and one in 2013. Another sale in 2015 resulted in a deferred gain as the Bank provided financing to the buyers. None of this deferred gain was recognized as income in 2015. A balance of $54,950 remained as of December 31, 2015 and will be recognized in the future as loan payments are received. Included in 2013 was the recognition of deferred gains on properties sold in previous years where the Bank provided financing to the buyers.

        Other income is primarily comprised of ATM fees, other loan income, safe deposit box rent, wire transfer fees, check commissions, merchant services fees and rental income including rental of ORE properties. The increase from 2014 to 2015 primarily resulted from increased merchant services and wire transfer fees.

        Salaries and employee benefits is the largest component of noninterest expense. The increase in 2015 resulted from greater salaries, due to additions of sales, branch, operations and compliance positions, greater commissions, reflective of the growth in asset management fees and residential lending activity, and greater medical insurance expense. The increase in 2014 was due to incentive plan payouts net of lower salaries. The number of full-time equivalent employees as of December 31, 2015 was 82 as compared to 71 at December 31, 2014 and 72 at December 31, 2013.

        Net occupancy expense is primarily comprised of building depreciation, real estate property taxes, building repairs, maintenance and utilities. The increase in 2015 was in large part due to greater rent expense related to the loan production office and Eldersburg branch, both opened during 2015. The increase in 2014 was due to greater repairs and maintenance expense, which includes snow and ice removal costs.

        Equipment expense includes furniture and equipment depreciation, computer hardware depreciation and software amortization as well as maintenance contracts, equipment rental costs and personal property taxes. These costs declined further in 2015 as purchased computer hardware and software has been replaced under lower cost leases. In addition, in 2015, New Windsor State Bank transitioned its network to the "cloud", eliminating the cost of servers and other network costs and is now being reflected in "outside services" for the related costs. However, upgrades to New Windsor State Bank's ATMs increased depreciation and maintenance costs.

        Marketing expense pertains to costs associated with advertising and public relations. After decreases in previous years, New Windsor State Bank increased its advertising and public relations efforts to more normal levels during the last three years.

        Components of outside services include data processing services, ATM processing, legal and professional fees, audit and accounting fees, and correspondent bank fees. The increase in 2015 reflected greater costs related to providing internet and mobile banking to customers, third party compliance consulting and audit services, shareholder relations activities, legal services and third-party provision of new features offered on personal deposit accounts. The increase in 2014 resulted from the cost of third party consultants contracted for special projects and increased compliance services.

        Telecommunication expenses decreased in 2015 resulting from the transition to a new, full service telecommunications provider. Costs were higher in 2014 due to the duplication of costs related to the aforementioned transition.

        The increase in directors' fees in 2015 and 2014 reflected increases in director meeting and committee fees for the first time in ten years during 2014. In addition, a greater number of committee meetings were held in 2015 to deal with compensation, corporate governance and strategic planning topics.

        The net loss on other real estate owned properties in 2014 and 2013 resulted from declines in the market values of these foreclosed properties after New Windsor had taken possession.

        Other loan expense includes costs incurred for collection and foreclosure activities, costs related to other real estate owned properties and third party processing and underwriting of residential mortgage loans. The increase in 2015 resulted from increased use of a third party for processing and underwriting of residential mortgage loans whereas the increase in 2014 resulted from collection and foreclosure activities and expenses related to ORE properties.

        The decline in FDIC insurance assessments in 2015 reflects the transition to an "asset based" calculation that commenced under Dodd-Frank.

        Other expense is comprised principally of postage, bank security, travel, customer development, contributions, state banking commission assessment, employee education and training and losses related to deposit accounts as well as electronic banking. The increase in 2015 reflects a strategic focus on

employee education and training as well as greater losses on deposit accounts and electronic banking. The decrease in 2014 generally reflected a fluctuation in losses related to deposit accounts and electronic banking.

Income Tax Expense

        New Windsor recorded income tax expense of $1,041,128 in 2015, $795,349 in 2014 and $405,976 in 2013. The effective tax rate for the years ended 2015, 2014 and 2013 were 40.7%, 40.0% and 40.3%, respectively. New Windsor is subject to federal corporate income tax on a consolidated basis. New Windsor State Bank is subject to state corporate income tax, currently 8.25% for the state of Maryland.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015

Overview

        The following discussion compares the financial condition of New Windsor as of September 30, 2016 to the financial condition at December 31, 2015 and the results of operations for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and related notes as well as the statistical information included in this discussion.

        New Windsor earned net income of $1,156,052 in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $33,668 or 3.0% compared to the same period in 2015. Earnings per share was $1.15 in 2016 versus $1.81 in 2015. The most noteworthy factors impacting the 2016 results were as follows:

        Net interest income increased 9.0% due to growth in loans along with a shift in the earning asset mix and the retirement of subordinated debt. Loans increased in 2016 by 4.5% while deposits increased 9.6% year-to-date. Noninterest expense increased by $865,000 or 12.0%.

        Commencing on June 1, 2015, New Windsor conducted a common stock offering to Maryland residents who were existing holders of New Windsor's common stock, holders of the 8% Fixed Rate Unsecured Subordinated Notes due in 2020 and to other "accredited investors". The purpose of the offering was to strengthen New Windsor's core equity capital, reduce future interest expense by redeeming the subordinated notes and support growth and expansion of the bank. The offering was concluded on December 31, 2015. A total of 382,999 shares were issued, increasing stockholders' equity by $5,942,000 after costs related to the offering. This included 61,485 shares related to the conversion of the subordinated notes into common stock. The net proceeds of the offering were used to fully redeem the remaining subordinated notes and the remainder contributed to the Bank in the form of Tier I capital to support future growth.

Financial Condition

        Total assets were $311,063,540 at September 30, 2016, reflecting growth of $16.3 million or 5.5% from year-end 2015. The net increase in assets was funded by growth in deposits. Loans increased $11.3 million or 4.5% from December 31, 2015. Deposits increased $23.9 million or 9.6% with growth in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings accounts and time deposits. As a result, short-term debt was reduced by $8.5 million. Stockholders' equity increased $1.1 million in 2016 as a result of net retained earnings.

Investment Securities

        The investment securities portfolio provides earnings and liquidity, as well as an effective tool in managing interest rate risk. New Windsor's investment activities are governed internally by a board-approved policy. The policy is carried out by New Windsor's Asset/Liability Management Committee, which meets regularly to review the economic environment and establish investment and borrowing strategies. Investment strategies are determined in consideration of the interest rate environment, balance sheet mix, actual and anticipated loan demand, funding opportunities and the overall interest rate sensitivity and liquidity position of New Windsor. Excluding the U.S. government sponsored agencies, there was no concentration in securities of any single issuer that exceeded 10% of stockholders' equity.

        Available-for-sale securities are carried at their estimated fair value. At September 30, 2016, available-for-sale securities totaled $24,573,211, a net decrease of $796,000 compared to year-end 2015. U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies decreased $7.4 million while residential mortgage-backed securities increased $7.2 million. This change in portfolio mix resulted from a strategy to extend the maturity of the portfolio in cash flowing securities while also realizing gains.

        Proceeds from maturities, calls and principal payments totaled $4.5 million and $5.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Proceeds from sales totaled $9.0 million in 2016 and resulted in net gains of $126,000. There were no sales of investment securities in 2015. Purchases of $12.5 million were completed in 2016 and $1.0 million in 2015. The activity in 2016 and 2015 reflected, in addition to the strategy noted above, a general approach to fund loan growth with cash flow and sale proceeds while continuing to meet pledging requirements.

        New Windsor does not have any exposure to subprime mortgage-backed securities.

Loan Portfolio

        New Windsor has established policies and procedures designed to mitigate credit risk and to maintain the quality of the loan portfolio. These policies include underwriting standards for new credit as well as continuous monitoring and reporting policies for asset quality and the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These policies, coupled with ongoing training efforts, have provided effective checks and balances for the risks associated with the lending process. Lending authority is based on the type of loan, the loan amount requested and the experience of the lending officer.

Table of Contents

        As of September 30, 2016, New Windsor's gross loan portfolio totaled $262,168,235, representing 84% of its total assets. Gross loans increased by $11.3 million or 4.5% from December 31, 2015.

        The commercial real estate segment increased by $10.1 million in 2016. This growth reflects New Windsor's success in building relationships in its market and expansion into adjacent markets, continuing a trend of growth from prior years.

        The bank's continued emphasis on meeting the market's growing demand for construction residential mortgage loans was reflected in the net growth in construction and land development loans of $1.0 million.

        In addition to the residential real estate portfolio activity noted above, in order to offer customers a full range of fixed-rate residential mortgage products, New Windsor State Bank partners with other companies that specialize in this area, selling a large portion of residential mortgages that are originated. This approach allows New Windsor to recognize noninterest income while mitigating interest rate risk. While New Windsor recognizes risks associated with some types of commercial loans, commercial borrowers' financial condition is closely monitored by management through the analysis of financial statements and income tax returns.

        New Windsor does not have any direct or indirect exposure to subprime loans.

Provision for Credit Losses

        There was no provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015. The lack of a provision for credit losses generally reflects the volume of non-performing loans, along with the assessment of the related collateral values and the change in the loan portfolio outstandings. The provision for credit losses charged against earnings is based, in part, upon the experience of credit losses and an estimation of inherent risks in the current loan portfolio as well as industry trends and economic conditions that impact the collectability of loans. New Windsor places an emphasis on asset quality and performs a thorough analysis and assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses relative to the risks in the loan portfolio. See further discussion in "Allowance for Credit Losses" and Note 4 of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Allowance for Credit Losses

        New Windsor maintains the allowance for credit losses at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio and is established through a provision for credit losses charged to earnings. Management regularly conducts an analysis of the adequacy of the allowance based on its knowledge of its loans, loss history and qualitative risk factors existing in its market. An outside firm is engaged to independently assess the methodology and perform various loan review functions.

        New Windsor prepares the analysis of the allowance with the objective of quantifying portfolio risk into a dollar amount of inherent losses. For impaired loans, the related allowance is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if repayment is expected to be provided by the collateral. The allowance associated with the remaining loan portfolio is based on the analysis of historical loan loss ratios, delinquency trends, and previous collection experience along with an assessment of the effects of external economic conditions and other qualitative factors.

        Based on the above, management believes that the allowance for credit losses is adequate to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2016. However, there can be no assurance that adjustments to the provision for credit losses will not be required in the future. Changes in the economic assumptions underlying management's estimates and judgments, adverse developments in the economy or market area, or changes in the circumstances of particular borrowers are criteria that could change and result in adjustments to the provision for credit losses. Management closely monitors problem loans, employs intensive collection efforts for loans previously charged-off and continually attempts to improve underwriting quality.

Table of Contents

        The allowance for credit losses was $2,825,911 or 1.08% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2016. This compares to an allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2015 of $2,982,328 or 1.19% of loans outstanding. The decrease in the reserve coverage generally reflects the continued reduction of problem loans, overall improved credit quality of the portfolio and the stabilization of collateral values.

        Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. Recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance.

        Net charge-offs amounted to $156,417 for the first nine months of 2016 or 0.08% of average loans compared to $393,912 or 0.22% for the same period in 2015. One credit accounted for the majority of the charge-offs in 2016 and was related to a commercial real estate—mortgage loan in conjunction with an ongoing foreclosure proceeding. Nearly all of the charge-offs in 2016 and 2015 were on loans for which specific reserves were established.

        The allocation of the allowance, presented in the following table, is based primarily on the factors discussed above in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance as a whole. Since all of those factors are

        The reduction in the unallocated portion of the allowance during 2016 reflects the ongoing evaluation of various factors posing additional risk of loss in the portfolio. These included increasing volume of investment real estate and participations in the commercial real estate—mortgage category as well as the continued implementation of technology used in the underwriting and servicing of loans. For further information on the allowance for credit losses refer to Note 4 of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Nonperforming Assets

        Nonperforming assets, which consist of loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned and repossessed assets, totaled $2,315,788 at September 30, 2016, compared to $1,497,715 at year-end 2015. After experiencing increases in the level of nonperforming assets in previous years, reflective of the general economic conditions, the bank has experienced a steady decline since peaking in 2011 as a result of concerted efforts by management to work out problem loan situations. This was achieved principally by the payoff of loans through refinancings or the sale of underlying collateral, the charge-off of uncollectible amounts, the sale of other real estate owned properties and loans returning to performing status after a prolonged period of current payments. In addition, the bank experienced a significant decline in the volume of loans moving into nonperforming status in 2015 and 2016.

        The following table provides a summary of New Windsor's nonperforming assets at the dates indicated:

        New Windsor generally places loans, except for consumer loans, on non-accrual when it becomes 90 days past due. Interest accrual may also be discontinued earlier if, in management's opinion, collection is unlikely. Generally, consumer installment loans are not placed on nonaccrual, but are charged off when they are 90 days past due. Payments on nonaccrual loans are applied against the principal balance outstanding. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Deposits

        Customer deposits, because of their stability, are the largest source of funds used to support New Windsor's growth. "Core" deposits are deposits that tend to remain with New Windsor despite the change in the market's interest rate environment.

        New Windsor offers a broad selection of deposit instruments to individuals and businesses including noninterest-bearing checking accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. Deposit account terms vary with respect to the minimum balance required, the time period the funds must remain on deposit and service charge schedules.

        Total deposits were $272,937,946 as of September 30, 2016, an increase of $23.9 million or 9.6% when compared to year-end 2015. Growth was experienced in noninterest-bearing demand deposits ($6.8 million), savings accounts ($6.2 million) and time deposits ($13.8 million). This growth reflects positive results from efforts to develop new relationships and grow existing relationships, both personal and business. It also reflects success in providing solutions to local municipalities and municipal authorities.

Short-Term Debt

        Short-term debt consists of securities sold under repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, secured lines with correspondent banks and short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB). At various times New Windsor utilizes federal funds purchased, secured lines with correspondent banks and short-term FHLB borrowings due to fluctuations in loan demand and deposit balances. At September 30, 2016, New Windsor had outstanding a $9.5 million short-term advance with the FHLB.

        For further information on short-term debt refer to Note 7 of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Long-Term Debt

        On June 23, 2005, New Windsor Capital Trust I (the "Trust I"), a Delaware business trust formed, funded and wholly owned by New Windsor, issued $5,000,000 of 6.39% fixed rate capital securities to institutional investors in a private pooled transaction. The proceeds were transferred to New Windsor as junior subordinated debt ("2035 junior subordinated debentures") under the same terms and conditions. New Windsor then contributed the full amount to New Windsor State Bank in the form of Tier I capital. New Windsor has, through various contractual arrangements, fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of Trust I's obligations with respect to the capital securities.

        Under applicable regulatory guidelines, a portion of the capital securities qualify as Tier I capital, and the remaining portion will qualify as Tier II capital. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the entire $5,000,000 of the outstanding capital securities qualify as Tier I capital at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

        The 2035 junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trust I and carry a fixed rate of 6.39%. Both the capital securities of the Trust I and the junior subordinated debentures are scheduled to mature on June 23, 2035, unless called by New Windsor at 100% of the principal amount.

        Commencing June 1, 2010, New Windsor offered $5,500,000 of 8.00% fixed rate subordinated debentures ("2020 subordinated debentures") in a private placement offering. New Windsor completed the issuance on December 29, 2010 and contributed the majority of the proceeds to New Windsor State Bank in the form of Tier I capital.

        Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the 2020 subordinated debentures qualify as Tier II capital but a portion (20%) would be excluded each year starting in 2015, the fifth year prior to the maturity date.

        From September 30, 2015 through December 31, 2015, $983,758 of the 2020 subordinated debentures were converted into common stock as part of New Windsor's stock offering and the remaining $4,516,242 was fully redeemed by New Windsor.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        Through the normal course of business, New Windsor enters into certain contractual obligations and other commitments. Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are legally binding conditional agreements generally having fixed expiration or termination dates. These commitments generally require customers to maintain certain credit standards and are established based on management's credit assessment of the customer. The commitments may expire without being drawn upon. With the exception of New Windsor's obligations in connection with its irrevocable letters of credit and loan commitments and New Windsor's obligations relating to the trust preferred securities issued by New Windsor Capital Trust I, New Windsor has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on New Windsor's financial condition, changes in financial condition, income or expense, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, that is material to investors For further information on Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements refer to Note 11 of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Capital Resources

        The authorized stock of New Windsor consists of 10,000,000 shares of common stock with $.01 par value. There were 1,004,391 and 1,000,711 shares outstanding as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

        Stockholders' equity was $22,878,954 at September 30, 2016, a net increase of $1,076,002 from December 31, 2015 reflective of net retained earnings.

        Commencing on June 1, 2015, New Windsor conducted a common stock offering to Maryland residents who were existing holders of New Windsor's common stock, holders of the 8% Fixed Rate Unsecured Subordinated Notes due in 2020 and to other "accredited investors". The purpose of the offering was to strengthen New Windsor's core equity capital, reduce future interest expense by redeeming the subordinated notes and support growth and expansion of New Windsor State Bank. The offering was concluded on December 31, 2015. A total of 382,999 shares were issued, increasing stockholders' equity by $5,942,000 after costs related to the offering. This included 61,485 shares related to the conversion of the subordinated notes into common stock. The net proceeds of the offering were used to fully redeem the remaining subordinated notes and the remainder contributed to the Bank in the form of Tier I capital to support future growth.

        Tangible book value per share was $22.78 and $21.79 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The increase in tangible book value from 2015 to 2016 is reflective of the net increase in retained earnings.

        Capital is classified as Common Equity Tier 1 (common stock, related surplus and retained earnings), Tier 1 capital (Common Equity Tier 1capial less certain intangible assets plus a portion of the trust preferred securities) and Total Capital (Tier 1 capital plus the allowed portion of the allowance for credit losses, the portion of trust preferred securities not included in Tier 1 capital and qualified subordinated debentures).

        The Basel III Capital Rules became effective on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital (as defined by regulations) to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets.

        The following table presents actual and required capital ratios as of September 30, 2016 for New Windsor and New Windsor State Bank under the Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of September 30, 2016 based

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

        The primary source of New Windsor's earnings is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Earning assets include loans, securities and federal funds sold. Interest-bearing liabilities include deposits and borrowed funds. To compare tax-exempt yields to taxable yields, amounts are adjusted to pretax equivalents based on a 34% federal corporate income tax rate and the 8.25% state corporate income tax rate. For yield calculation purposes, nonaccruing loans are included in average loan balances. Loan fees are included in interest income.

        Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, the volume of interest-bearing assets and liabilities and the composition of those assets and liabilities (mix). The "net interest spread" and "net interest margin" are two common statistics related to the evaluation of net interest income. The net interest rate spread represents the difference between the yields earned on interest-earning assets and the rates paid for interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin is defined as the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets. Due primarily to funding provided by noninterest-bearing deposits and stockholders' equity, the net interest margin exceeds the net interest rate spread. Both net interest spread and net interest margin are stated as a percentage with each .01% often referred to as one basis point.

Table of Contents

        Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, totaled $8,003,408 for the first nine months of 2016, an increase of $655,361 or 8.9% compared to 2015. The increase was a result of a 4.2% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets while net interest margin increased by 17 basis points.

        The increase in interest-earning assets of $11.4 million also included a continued change in the mix of earning assets that enhanced the overall yield earned. Average loans increased $18.7 million or 7.9% with growth in commercial and residential real estate loans. A portion of the growth in average loans was funded by cash flows from the investment portfolio. Average investment securities and restricted stock decreased $7.1 million resulting from maturities, calls and principal payments.

        The remaining net growth in earning assets was funded with an increase in deposits. Average deposits increased by $10.8 million or 4.4% with increases in average the average balance of demand and savings deposits.

        Net interest margin increased to 3.75% from 3.58% resulting from a number of factors:

        During 2016, a strategy to extend the maturity of the investment portfolio with cash flowing securities while realizing gains was implemented. Proceeds from sales totaled $9.04 million and net gains of $126,393 resulted.

        Windsor Investment Services is New Windsor's asset management division that offers mutual funds, annuities, bonds, stocks, insurance products and financial planning as a compliment to New Windsor's traditional financial services. This revenue source declined in 2016 resulting from the initial efforts to transition to regulations to be implemented regarding asset management services despite continued growth in assets under management. As of September 30, 2016, Windsor Investments had $88.6 million of assets under management, an increase of 11% from year-end 2015.

        Mortgage banking was also impacted by newly enacted regulations, diverting resources and lengthening the closing process. The sale of loans held for sale totaled $15.6 million in 2016 versus $19.8 million in 2015.

        VISA Check Card fee income continued the trend of annual increases in 2016 and provides an important source of revenue for New Windsor. Ongoing efforts to promote the usage of the card are expected to impact this revenue going forward.

        Net gain on sale of ORE properties were realized on the sale of three properties in 2016 and two in 2015. Another sale in 2015 resulted in a deferred gain as the bank provided financing to the buyers. A portion of this deferred gain was recognized as income in 2016. A balance of $53,443 remained as of September 30, 2016 and will be recognized in the future as loan payments are received.

        Earnings from the investment in bank-owned life insurance reflects the purchase of $3.0 million in 2016.

        Other income is primarily comprised of ATM fees, other loan income, safe deposit box rent, wire transfer fees, check commissions, merchant services fees and rental income including rental of ORE properties. The increase from 2015 to 2016 primarily resulted from increased merchant services fees.

        Salaries and employee benefits is the largest component of noninterest expense. The increase in 2016 resulted from greater salaries, due to the new Eldersburg branch as well as operations and compliance positions, and greater medical insurance expense offset in part by lower commissions reflective of the lower volume of asset management fees and residential lending activity. The number of full-time equivalent employees as of September 30, 2016 was 84 as compared to 82 at December 31, 2015.

        Net occupancy expense is primarily comprised of building depreciation, real estate property taxes, building repairs, maintenance and utilities. The decrease in 2016 was the result of lower depreciation as well as building repairs and maintenance costs offsetting the costs of the new Eldersburg branch.

        Equipment expense includes furniture and equipment depreciation, computer hardware depreciation and software amortization as well as maintenance contracts, equipment rental costs and personal property taxes. These costs increased in 2016 due to the new Eldersburg branch.

        Marketing expense pertains to costs associated with advertising and public relations. After decreases in previous years, the Bank increased its advertising and public relations efforts primarily in the new Eldersburg market.

        Components of outside services include data processing services, ATM processing, legal and professional fees, audit and accounting fees, and correspondent bank fees. The increase in 2016 reflected greater costs related to providing internet and mobile banking to customers and third party compliance consulting and audit services.

        Telecommunication expenses increased in 2016 resulting from the new branch location as well as disaster recovery plan considerations.

        Other loan expense includes costs incurred for collection and foreclosure activities, costs related to other real estate owned properties and third party processing and underwriting of residential mortgage loans. The decrease in 2016 resulted from decreased use of a third party for processing and underwriting of residential mortgage loans.

        FDIC insurance assessment reflects an "asset based" calculation that commenced under Dodd-Frank.

        Other expense is comprised principally of postage, bank security, travel, customer development, contributions, state banking commission assessment, employee education and training and losses related to deposit accounts as well as electronic banking. The increase in 2016 reflects a strategic focus on employee education and training as well as a reserve for off-balance sheet exposures offset in part by lower postage expense.

Income Tax Expense

        New Windsor recorded income tax expense during the nine months ended September 30th of $754,055 in 2016 and $777,375 in 2015, respectively. The effective tax rate for the same periods were 39.5% and 40.9%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was in part due to the investment in bank-owned life insurance during 2016. New Windsor is subject to federal corporate income tax on a consolidated basis. New Windsor State Bank is subject to state corporate income tax, currently 8.25% for the state of Maryland.

DESCRIPTION OF ACNB CAPITAL SECURITIES

        Under its articles of incorporation, ACNB is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $2.50 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $2.50 per share. As of December 31, 2016, 6,126,738 shares of ACNB common stock were issued, 6,064,138 shares of ACNB common stock were outstanding and no shares of ACNB preferred stock issued or outstanding.

        ACNB has no options, warrants or other rights authorized, issued or outstanding other than rights granted under ACNB's various stock compensation and benefits plans.

Description of ACNB's Common Stock

        Dividends.    The holders of ACNB common stock share ratably in dividends when and if declared by ACNB's board of directors from legally available funds. Declaration and payment of cash dividends by ACNB depends upon cash dividend payments to it by ACNB Bank, which is ACNB's primary source of revenue and cash flow. ACNB is a legal entity separate and distinct from ACNB Bank. Accordingly, the right of ACNB, and consequently the right of creditors and shareholders of ACNB, to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of any subsidiary is necessarily subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary except to the extent that claims of ACNB in its capacity as a creditor may be recognized.

        Voting Rights.    The holders of common stock of ACNB have exclusive voting rights in ACNB. They elect ACNB's Board of Directors and act on other matters as are required to be presented to them under Pennsylvania law or as are otherwise presented to them by the Board of Directors. Generally, each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share and does not have any right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. If ACNB issues shares of preferred stock, holders of the preferred stock may also possess voting rights.

        Pre-Emptive Rights, Redemption.    Holders of ACNB common stock do not have pre-emptive rights with respect to any shares that may be issued. The common stock is not subject to redemption.

        Liquidation Rights.    In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of ACNB, the holders of ACNB common stock would be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all its debts and liabilities, all of the assets of ACNB available for distribution. If preferred stock is issued, the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the common stock in the event of liquidation or dissolution.

        Description of ACNB's Preferred Stock.    Preferred stock may be issued with preferences and designations as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. The board of directors may, without shareholder approval, issue shares of preferred stock with voting, dividend, liquidation and conversion rights that could dilute the voting strength of the holders of the common stock and may assist management in impeding an unfriendly takeover or attempted change in control.

        Anti-Takeover Article and Bylaw Provisions.    ACNB's articles of incorporation and bylaws contain a number of provisions relating to corporate governance and rights of shareholders that might discourage future takeover attempts. As a result, shareholders who might desire to participate in such transactions may not have an opportunity to do so. In addition, these provisions may also render the removal of the Board of Directors or management of ACNB more difficult. Among other things, these provisions:

COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS

        Upon completion of the merger, New Windsor stockholders will become ACNB shareholders, and their rights will be governed by the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the "PBCL"). ACNB is, and following completion of the merger will continue to be, a Pennsylvania business corporation governed by the PBCL. New Windsor is a Maryland business corporation governed by the MGCL. Certain differences in the rights of shareholders arise from differences between ACNB's and New Windsor's articles of incorporation and bylaws.

        The following is a summary of material differences in the rights of ACNB's shareholders and New Windsor's stockholders. This discussion is not a complete statement of all differences affecting the rights of shareholders.

may be held at any regular adjournment of the meeting or at a subsequent special meeting called in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

If the day fixed for the annual meeting is a legal holiday in the State of Maryland, the annual meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day.

Voting Rights and Cumulative Voting

        ACNB.    Each holder of ACNB common stock generally has the right to cast one vote for each share of ACNB common stock held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of ACNB. ACNB's articles of incorporation prohibit cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors.

        New Windsor.    Each holder of New Windsor common stock generally has the right to cast one vote for each share of New Windsor common stock held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of New Windsor. All matters shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present unless New Windsor's articles of incorporation, New Windsor's bylaws, or a statute provide otherwise. New Windsor's articles of incorporation do not authorize cumulative voting.

        ACNB.    PBCL provides that unless otherwise restricted in the bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders or of a class of shareholders of a business corporation may be taken without a meeting if a consent or consents to the action in record form are signed, before, on or after the effective date of the action by all of the shareholders who would be entitled to vote at a meeting for such purpose. The consent or consents must be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the shareholders.

        ACNB.    ACNB's bylaws provide that nominations for election to the board of directors of ACNB may be made by the board of directors or by any shareholder of any outstanding class of capital stock of ACNB entitled to vote for the election of directors. Any shareholder who intends to nominate or cause to have nominated any candidate for election to the board of directors, other than any candidate nominated by the board of directors of ACNB, shall so notify the secretary of ACNB in writing not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the date of any meeting of the shareholders of ACNB called for the election of directors.

        New Windsor.    New Windsor's bylaws provide that nominations for election to the board of directors may be made by the board of directors or by a stockholder entitled to vote for the election of directors.

Number of Directors

        ACNB.    ACNB'S articles of incorporation provide that the board of directors shall consist of not less than five (5) nor more than twenty-five (25) shareholders, the exact number to be fixed and determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of the shareholders at any annual or special meeting thereof.

        New Windsor.    New Windsor's bylaws provide that the authorized number of New Windsor directors is twelve (12). The authorized number of directors may be increased or decreased by majority vote of the directors then in office, but shall never be less than the number of directors required by Maryland law.

Director Qualifications

        ACNB.    ACNB's bylaws provide that every director must be a shareholder of ACNB and, during the full term of his directorship, shall own a minimum of five hundred (500) shares of common stock of ACNB.

141


Table of Contents

be reported to the board of directors by the secretary, whereupon the board of directors shall declare the seat of such director vacated.

        Further, the bylaws provide that no director or nominee shall stand for election, if as of the date of election, he or she shall have attained the age of seventy-two (72) years old. Any director who attains the age of seventy-two (72) years old during his or her term of office shall resign as a director and cease to be a director effective the end of the calendar year in which he or she attains the age of seventy-two (72) years old; unless at the time, such director's class is serving the final year of its three (3)-year term, then such director may serve until the annual meeting at which the term of such class of directors expires and their successors are duly elected.

        New Windsor.    New Windsor's bylaws provide that directors shall be citizens of the United States, shall own stock in New Windsor with an aggregate fair market value of at least $500.00, and shall strive actively to promote the purposes of New Windsor.

        Furthermore, there shall be no mandatory retirement age for the directors of New Windsor. However, on reaching the age of seventy-five (75), the director shall tender an irrevocable letter of resignation which shall take effect upon the acceptance by the board of directors (excluding the director tendering his or her resignation). A committee designated by the board (also excluding the director tendering his resignation) shall evaluate the best interests of New Windsor and its shareholders and shall recommend to the board of directors the action to be taken with respect to the tendered irrevocable letter of resignation.

Class and Election of Directors

        ACNB.    ACNB's bylaws provide that the shareholders shall, at each meeting for the election of directors, determine, by resolution of a majority of the shareholders at such meeting, how many directors shall be elected to serve in each class of directors to be elected at such meeting.

        Further ACNB's articles of incorporation provide that the directors shall be divided into three (3) classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, known as Class 1, consisting of not more than eight (8) directors; Class 2, consisting of not more than eight (8) directors, and Class 3, consisting of not more than nine (9) directors. Each director in a class serves a three-year term such that only the terms of directors in a single class expire in a given year. Each director shall serve until his/her successor shall have been elected and shall qualify, even though his/her term of office as herein provided has otherwise expired, except in the event of his/her earlier resignation, removal or disqualification.

        New Windsor.    New Windsor's bylaws and articles of incorporation provide that the directors are divided into three (3) classes of approximately equal number. The directors in each class are elected to serve three (3) year terms, and the election of each class of directors is staggered so that only one class of directors is elected in any one year. The directors in each class shall hold office until the third annual meeting of the stockholders following the election of the directors in that class and until the qualification of a successor in office. New Windsor's bylaws provide that the candidates for director receiving the highest number of votes up to the number of directors to be elected will be deemed to be elected.

Removal of Directors

        ACNB.    PBCL provides that the entire board of directors, or any class of the board, or any individual director of a corporation having a board classified as permitted by section 1724(b) of the PBCL, may be removed from office by vote of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon only for cause, if such classification has been effected in the articles or a bylaw adopted by the shareholders.

142


Table of Contents

        New Windsor.    New Windsor's bylaws provide that any director may be removed, with or without cause, by the vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the stockholders at a special meeting called for that purpose. At such meeting, any vacancy caused by the removal may be filled as provided in New Windsor's bylaws. New Windsor's bylaws also provide that any director who fails to attend at least fifty percent (50%) of the regular board meetings held during the director's term in office shall be disqualified from serving as director for any succeeding term.

Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors

        ACNB.    ACNB's bylaws provide that vacancies in the board of directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the remaining members of the board even though less than a quorum. Any director elected to fill a vacancy in the board of directors shall become a member of the same class of directors in which the vacancy existed; but if the vacancy is due to an increase in the number of directors, a majority of the members of the board of directors shall designate such directorship as belonging to Class 1, Class 2 or Class 3 so as to maintain the three (3) classes of directors as nearly equal in number as possible. Each director so elected shall be a director until his successor is elected by the shareholders, who may make such election at the next annual meeting of the shareholders or at any special meeting duly called for that purpose and held prior thereto.

        New Windsor.    New Windsor's bylaws provide that whenever a vacancy exists on the board of directors, whether by death, resignation, or otherwise, the vacancy shall be filled by appointment of a new director by the president of New Windsor with the approval of a majority of the remaining directors, and, if that power is not exercised within thirty (30) days after the president receives notice of the vacancy, by appointment by a majority of the remaining directors at a regular or special meeting of the board. Any person appointed or elected to fill the vacancy of a director shall have the same qualifications as were required of the director whose office was vacated. Any person appointed or elected to fill a vacancy in the board of directors shall hold office for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office, subject to the power of removal as provided in New Windsor bylaws.

Limitation of Liability for Directors and Officers

        ACNB.    ACNB's bylaws provide that a director of ACNB shall stand in a fiduciary relation to ACNB and shall perform his duties as a director, including his duties as a member of any committee of the board upon which he may serve, in good faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of ACNB, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, skill and diligence, as a person of ordinary prudence would use under similar circumstances.

        A director of ACNB shall not be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken or for any failure to take any action, unless:

        Further, the indemnification provisions of ACNB's bylaws shall not apply to:

        New Windsor.    New Windsor's articles of incorporation provide that no director or officer of New Windsor shall be liable to New Windsor or its stockholders for money damages except (i) to the extent that it is proved that such director or officer actually received an improper benefit or profit in money,

143


Table of Contents

property or services, for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property or services actually received, or (ii) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such director or officer is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that such director's or officer's action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. New Windsor's bylaws also provide that the directors of New Windsor shall not be personally liable for its debts, liabilities, or other obligations. Further, New Windsor's bylaws provide that each director, when elected, shall take an oath that he or she will diligently and honestly perform the duties of a director of New Windsor, and will not knowingly violate or willingly permit to be violated any provision of law applicable to New Windsor, and that he or she is the owner in good faith, and in his or her own right, of stock ownership in New Windsor as required by New Windsor's bylaws, and that the same is not hypothecated, or in any way pledged, as security for any loan or debt.

Indemnification of Directors

        ACNB.    ACNB's bylaws require ACNB to indemnify any director, or any former director, who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or who is called to be a witness in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of ACNB) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director of ACNB, or is or was serving at the request of ACNB as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of ACNB, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

        ACNB's bylaws also require ACNB to indemnify any director, who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or who is called as a witness in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of ACNB to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against amounts paid in settlement and expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of, or serving as a witness in, such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of ACNB and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any such claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for misconduct in the performance of his duty to ACNB.

        ACNB's bylaws also provide that, except as may be otherwise ordered by a court, there shall be a presumption that any director is entitled to indemnification under ACNB's bylaws unless either a majority of the directors who are not involved in such proceedings ("disinterested directors") or, if there are less than three (3) disinterested directors, then the holders of one-third (1/3) of the outstanding shares of ACNB determine that the person is not entitled to such presumption by certifying such determination in writing to the secretary of ACNB. In such event the disinterested director(s) or, in the event of certification by shareholders, the secretary of ACNB shall request of independent counsel, who may be the outside general counsel of ACNB, a written opinion as to whether or not the parties involved are entitled to indemnification under ACNB's bylaws.

        Indemnification under ACNB's bylaws shall not be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
New Windsor Bancorp, Inc.
New Windsor, Maryland

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") which comprise the consolidated statements of condition as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and for the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

        Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility

        Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

        An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

        We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

        The financial statements include the accounts of New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. (the "Bancorp") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, New Windsor State Bank (the "Bank") and New Windsor Capital Trust I, as well as one indirect subsidiary, New Windsor Holdings, LLC (a subsidiary of the Bank), referred collectively as the "Company". All significant intercompany balances and transactions between the parent corporation and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. We have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure through the date of the audit report date.

Nature of Operations

        The Company, through its bank subsidiary, conducts full service commercial banking operations in Carroll County, Maryland. The primary financial services provided include real estate, commercial and consumer lending as well as offering demand deposits and savings products. The Company, through a broker/dealer relationship, also offers full service brokerage products such as mutual funds, annuities, insurance as well as stocks and bonds.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, other than temporary impairment of investment securities and deferred tax assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks.

Investment Securities

Available-for-Sale:

        Marketable equity securities and debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are acquired as part of the Company's asset/liability management strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, loan demand or deposit balances, changes in prepayment risk and other factors. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses based on the difference between amortized cost and fair value reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of deferred tax. Realized gains and losses, using the specific identification

method, are included as a separate component of noninterest income. Related interest and dividends are included in interest income. Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. Factors affecting the determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred include a downgrading of the security by a rating agency, a significant deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer, or that management would not have the intent and ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank:

        The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the "FHLB") in varying amounts based on balances of outstanding home loans and on amounts borrowed from the FHLB. Because no ready market exists for this stock and it has no quoted fair value, the Bank's investment in this stock is carried at cost.

Restricted Stock

        Restricted stock is stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Atlanta, Atlantic Central Banker's Bank, Community Bankers Bank and Maryland Financial Bank, which are restricted as to their marketability. Because no ready market exists for these investments and they have no quoted market value, the Bank's investment in these stocks are carried at cost.

Loans Held for Sale

        The Company engages in sales of residential mortgage loans and loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration that are originated by the Bank. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Fair value is derived from secondary market quotations for similar instruments. Gains and losses on sales of these loans are recorded as a component of noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

        When the Company retains the servicing rights to collect and remit principal and interest payments, manage escrow account matters and handle borrower relationships on mortgage loans sold, resulting service fee income is included in noninterest income. The Company's current practice is to sell loans on a servicing released basis, and, therefore, it has no intangible asset recorded for the value of such servicing at either December 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Loans

        Loans are stated at their principal balance outstanding, net of unearned income. Interest income on most loans is accrued at the contractual rate based on the principal outstanding. The Company generally places loans, except for consumer loans, on non-accrual when payments are 90 days past due. Interest accrual may also be discontinued earlier if, in management's opinion, collection is unlikely. Generally, consumer installment loans are not placed on nonaccrual, but are charged off when they are 90 days past due.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest payments according to contractual terms. Generally, loans are considered impaired once payments become 90 days or more past due and they are placed on nonaccrual. Management also considers the financial condition of the borrower, cash flows of the loan and the value of the related collateral. Impaired loans do not include large groups of smaller balance homogeneous credits such as residential real estate, consumer installment loans, and commercial leases, which are evaluated collectively for impairment. Loans specifically reviewed for impairment are not considered impaired during periods of "minimal delay" in payment (90 days or less) provided eventual collection of all amounts due is expected. The impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral if repayment is expected to be provided by the collateral. Generally, the Company's impairment on such loans is measured by reference to the fair value of the collateral. Payments on nonaccrual loans are first applied against the principal balance outstanding. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

        Loans whose terms are modified are classified as troubled debt restructured loans if the Company grants such borrowers concessions that it would not otherwise consider and it is deemed that those borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions granted under a trouble debt restructuring generally involve a temporary reduction in interest rate, a below market interest rate given the risk associated with the loan, or an extension of a loan's stated maturity date. Nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings may be restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for a sustained period of time and, based on a well-documented credit evaluation of the borrower's financial condition, there is reasonable assurance of repayment. Loans classified as trouble debt restructurings are generally designated as impaired.

Allowance for Credit Losses

        The allowance for credit losses represents an amount which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb probable losses on existing loans. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on a periodic evaluation of the portfolio with consideration given to the overall loss experience; current economic conditions; volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio; financial condition of the borrowers; and other relevant factors that, in management's judgment, warrant recognition in providing an adequate allowance. Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows and collateral values on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogenous loans based on historical loss experience and consideration of economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The allowance is increased by provisions for credit losses charged against income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Changes in the allowance are recorded periodically as conditions change or as more information becomes available. Such future changes could result in material adjustments to future results of operations.

        The allowance for credit losses consists of a specific component and a nonspecific component. The components of the allowance for credit losses represent an estimation done pursuant to either Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 450

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

"Contingencies" or ASC Topic 310 "Receivables". The specific component of the allowance for credit losses reflects expected losses resulting from analysis developed through specific credit allocations for individual loans and historical loss experience for each loan category. The specific credit allocations are based on a regular analysis of all loans where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification. The historical credit loss element is determined statistically using a loss migration analysis that examines loss experience. The factors used to adjust the historical loss experience address various risk characteristics of the Company's loan portfolio including (1) trends in delinquencies and other nonperforming loans, (2) results of independent loan reviews, (3) changes in the categories of loans comprising the loan portfolio, (4) concentrations of loans to specific industry segments, (5) changes in economic conditions on both a local and national level, (6) changes in the Company's credit administration and loan portfolio management processes, and (7) quality of the Company's credit risk identification processes.

        The nonspecific portion of the allowance is determined based on management's assessment of general economic conditions, as well as specific economic factors in the individual markets in which the Company operates. This determination inherently involves a higher risk of uncertainty and considers current risk factors that may not have yet manifested themselves in the Company's historical loss factors used to determine the allocated component of the allowance and it recognizes knowledge of the portfolio may be incomplete.

Premises and Equipment

        Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed using the straight-line method. Premises and equipment are depreciated over the useful lives of the assets. The costs of major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while the costs of ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The following are the general guidelines for useful lives:

Buildings and building improvements   39 - 50 years
Leasehold improvements   lesser of useful life or lease term
Furniture, fixtures and equipment   5 - 7 years
Computer hardware and software   3 - 5 years

Other Real Estate Owned

        Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs of disposal at the date of foreclosure. Costs relating to the development and improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to the holding of the property are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by management and an allowance for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.

Repossessed Assets

        Assets acquired through repossession are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs of disposal at the date of repossession. Costs related to the repair of the asset are capitalized whereas

costs relating to the holding of the asset are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by management and an allowance for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.

Transfers of Financial Assets

        Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Income Taxes

        The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its bank subsidiary. Income tax expense is based on the results of operations, adjusted for permanent differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for tax purposes. Deferred income taxes are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred income taxes are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Any deferred tax asset is reduced by the amount of any tax benefit that more likely than not will not be realized.

        Management considers the likelihood of changes by taxing authorities in its filed income tax returns and recognizes a liability for or discloses potential changes that management believes are more likely than not to occur upon examination by taxing authorities. Management has not identified any uncertain tax positions in filed income tax returns that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. The Company's income tax returns for the past three years are subject to examination by tax authorities, and may change upon examination.

Income Per Common Share

        Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year including any potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding, such as options and warrants.

        All previously reported items have been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend, in the form of a stock split, declared on January 20, 2015 to shareholders of record on January 30, 2015 and payable on February 13, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-04, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40)—Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The amendments

clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Adoption of ASU 2014-04 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

        In May 2014, the FASB and the international Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB") jointly issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Previous revenue recognition guidance in GAAP comprised broad revenue recognition concepts together with numerous revenue requirements for particular industries or transactions, which sometimes resulted in different accounting for economically similar transactions. In contrast, IFRS provided limited revenue recognition guidance and, consequently, could be difficult to apply to complex transactions. Accordingly, the FASB and IASB initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS that would : (1) Remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements; (2) Provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues; (3) Improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets: (4) Provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements; and (5) Simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. To meet those objectives, The FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies generally will be required to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The standard is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016; early adoption is not permitted. For financial reporting purposes, the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 and will be closely monitoring developments and additional guidance to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company's financial statements.

        In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-14, Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The objective of this guidance is to reduce diversity in practice related to how creditors classify government-guaranteed mortgage loans, including FHA and

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

VA guaranteed loans, upon foreclosure. Some creditors reclassify those loans to real estate consistent with other foreclosed loans that do not have guarantees; others reclassify the loans to other receivables. The amendments in this guidance require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the following conditions are met: (1) The loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure; (2) At the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim; and (3) At the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. ASU No. 2014-14 is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-14 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

        The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." The update simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. This update will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

        ASU 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805)—Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments." ASU 2015-16 requires that adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period of a business combination be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Furthermore, the income statement effects of such adjustments, if any, must be calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments under this guidance require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. Under previous guidance, adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period are to be recognized retrospectively. ASU 2015-16 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and is not expected to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Under ASC Topic 820, fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described below.

Level 1   Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

 

Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities which use observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3

 

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

        A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

        The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include most U.S. government and agency securities, liquid mortgage products, active listed equities and most money market securities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC Topic 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.

        The types of instruments valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include most investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, less liquid mortgage products, less liquid equities, state, municipal and provincial obligations, and certain physical commodities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management's best estimate is used.

        Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or market value. Market value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable. The value of real estate collateral is determined based on appraisal by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. The value of business equipment, inventory and accounts receivable collateral is based on the net book value on the business' financial statements and, if necessary, discounted based on management's review and analysis. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management's historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management's expertise and knowledge of the client and client's business. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at

least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above.

        Other real estate owned ("OREO") is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to OREO. Subsequently, OREO is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The estimated fair value for other real estate owned included in Level 3 is determined by independent market based appraisals and other available market information, less cost to sell, that may be reduced further based on market expectations or an executed sales agreement. If the fair value of the collateral deteriorates subsequent to initial recognition, the Company records the OREO as a non-recurring Level 3 adjustment. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods.

        There were twenty-five securities with unrealized losses as of December 31, 2015 and twenty-nine securities as of December 31, 2014. The unrealized losses on debt securities are the result of market changes in interest rates since the original purchase. This factor coupled with the fact the Company has both the intent and ability to hold these investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value substantiates that the unrealized losses in the available-for-sale portfolio are temporary. The Company does not believe it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery in value.

        There were no sales of investment securities in 2015. Sales of investment securities in 2014 resulted in proceeds of $8,427,000 with gross gains of $35,000 and gross losses of $73,000. There were no sales of investment securities in 2013.

        At December 31, 2015 and 2014, investments available-for-sale with a carrying value of $16,415,000 and $22,533,000, respectively, were pledged as collateral for certain government deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. The outstanding balance of no single issuer, except for U.S. government and U.S. government agency securities, exceeded ten percent of stockholders' equity at December 31, 2015 and 2014.

yield on the portfolio consistent with the provisions of ASU 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Loan Losses. At December 31, loans were as follows:

        The risks associated with lending activities differ among the various loan types and are subject to the impact of changes in interest rates, market conditions of collateral securing the loans, and general economic conditions. All of these factors may adversely impact the borrower's ability to repay its loans and impact the associated collateral.

        Construction and land development loans consist of 1-4 family residential and commercial construction and land development loans. The risk of loss on these loans is largely dependent on the Company's ability to assess the property's value at the completion of the project which should exceed the property's construction costs. During the construction phase, a number of factors could potentially negatively impact the collateral value, including cost overruns, delays in completing the project, competition and real estate market conditions which may change based on the supply of similar properties in the area. In the event the collateral value at the completion of the project is not sufficient to cover the outstanding loan balance, the Company must rely upon other repayment sources, including the guarantors of the project or other collateral securing the loan. The Company attempts to mitigate credit risk through strict underwriting standards including evaluation of the credit worthiness of the borrower and their success in other projects, release fees, adequate loan-to-value ratios and continual monitoring of the project during its construction phase to determine the impact that overruns and delays may have on the project.

        Residential real estate—mortgage includes mortgage loans with the underlying 1-4 family or multifamily residential property (primarily owner-occupied) securing the credit. The Company's risk exposure is minimized in these types of loans through the evaluation of the credit worthiness of the borrower, including credit scores and debt-to-income ratios and underwriting standards which limits the loan-to-value ratio to generally no more than 80% unless the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance. The Company sells the majority of its fixed rate residential mortgage originations in the secondary market and does not retain the servicing.

        Residential real estate—mortgage also includes home equity loans and lines of credit. These present a slightly higher risk to the Company than 1-4 family first lien mortgages as they can be first or second liens on the underlying property. However, these loans are generally limited with respect to loan-to-value ratios and the credit worthiness of the borrower is considered including credit scores and debt-to-income ratios.

4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued)

        Commercial real estate—mortgage includes various types of loans which have differing levels of credit risk associated with them. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are generally dependent upon the successful operation of the borrower's business, with the cash flows generated from the business being the primary source of repayment of the loan. If the business suffers a downturn in sales or profitability, the borrower's ability to repay the loan could be in jeopardy. In order to minimize this credit risk, the Company has conservative underwriting standards which include the credit worthiness of the borrower, a limitation on loan amounts to the value of the property securing the loan, and strong debt service coverage ratios. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans present a different credit risk to the Company than owner-occupied commercial real estate, as the repayment of the loan is dependent upon the borrower's ability to generate a sufficient level of occupancy to produce rental income that exceeds debt service requirement and operating expenses. Lower occupancy or lease rates may result in reduction in cash flows, which hinder the ability of the borrower to meet debt service requirements, and may result in lower collateral values. The Company generally follows the same underwriting standards for these loans as with owner-occupied commercial real estate, but recognizes the greater risk inherent in these credit relationships in its loan pricing and loan-to-value requirements.

        Commercial and industrial loans include advances to local and regional businesses for general commercial purposes and include permanent and short-term working capital, machinery and equipment financing, and may be in the form of either lines of credit or term loans. Although commercial and industrial loans may be unsecured to the highest rated borrowers, the majority of these loans are secured by the borrower's accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment. In a majority of these loans, the collateral also includes the business owner's personal guarantee as well as personal real estate and assets. Commercial and industrial loans present credit exposure to the Company as they are susceptible to risk of loss during a downturn in the economy, as the borrower may have greater difficulty in meeting their debt service requirements and the value of collateral may decline. The Company attempts to mitigate this risk through strict underwriting standards, including evaluation of the credit worthiness of the borrower. Additionally, monitoring of the loans through annual renewals and meetings with the borrowers are common. However, these procedures cannot eliminate the risk of losses associated with these loans.

        Consumer loans consist primarily of automobile loans made on a direct basis. The credit risk of these loans is mitigated through conservative underwriting standards, including evaluation of the credit worthiness of the borrower's credit scores and debt-to-income ratios, and the collateral value of the assets securing the loan. Though some loans are done on an unsecured basis, the majority are secured. However, the value of the collateral on these loans may depreciate quickly or may fluctuate and thus present a greater risk to the Company than 1-4 family residential loans.

        In order to monitor ongoing risk associated with its loan portfolio and specific credits within the segments, management uses an eight point internal grading system. Management generally follows regulatory definitions in assigning criticized ratings to loans, including substandard, doubtful or loss. The first four rating categories, representing the lowest risk to the Company, are combined and given a "Pass" rating. The "Special Mention" category includes loans that have potential weaknesses that may, if not monitored or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Bank's position at some future date. These assets pose elevated risk, but their weakness does not yet justify a more severe, or criticized rating. "Substandard" loans are classified as they have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses

that jeopardize liquidation of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. "Substandard" loans include loans that management has determined not to be impaired, as well as loans considered to be impaired. A "doubtful" loan has a high probability of total or substantial loss, but because of specific pending events that may strengthen the asset, its classification of loss is deferred. "Loss" assets are considered uncollectible, as the underlying borrowers are often in bankruptcy, have suspended debt repayments, or ceased business operations. Once a loan is classified as "Loss", there is little prospect of collecting the loan's principal or interest and it is generally written off.

        The Company has a loan review policy and program which is designed to reduce and control risk in the lending function. This includes the monitoring of the lending activities of all bank personnel with respect to underwriting and processing new loans and the timely follow-up and corrective action for loans showing signs of deterioration in quality. The loan review program provides the Company with an internal, independent review of the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. Third-party loan reviews are completed annually and involve a representative sample of the Bank's entire loan portfolio. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as extended delinquencies, bankruptcy, repossession or death of the borrower occurs, which heightens awareness as to a possible credit event.

        The following summarizes the Bank's ratings based on its internal risk rating system as of December 31:

        Classified loans may also be evaluated for impairment. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value,

and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Nonaccrual loans and troubled debt restructures are, by definition, deemed to be impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is collateral dependent if the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. For loans that are deemed to be impaired for extended periods of time, periodic updates on fair values are obtained, which may include updated appraisals. The updated fair values will be incorporated into the impairment analysis as of the next reporting period. In the event an updated appraisal that requires a higher impairment reserve is received after a reporting period, but prior to the issuance of the financial statements, an evaluation is made as to the significance of the difference and whether the amounts need to be reflected in the financial statements not yet issued.

        Loan charge-offs, which may include, from time-to-time, a partial charge-off, are taken on an impaired loan that is collateral dependent if the loan's carrying balance exceeds its collateral's appraised value, the loan has been identified as uncollectible, and it is deemed to be a confirmed loss. Typically, impaired loans with a charge-off or partial charge-off will continue to be considered impaired, unless the note is split into two, and management expects the performing note to continue to perform and is adequately secured. The second, or non-performing note, would be charged-off. Further, an impaired loan with a partial charge-off may continue to have an impairment reserve on it after the partial charge-off, if factors warrant.

        As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, a majority of the Company's impaired loans' extent of impairment was measured based on the estimated fair value of the collateral securing the credit. Impairment on troubled debt restructurings that are following the revised terms of the loan are determined based on discounted cash flows. For real estate loans, collateral generally consists of commercial real estate, but in the case of commercial and industrial loans, it would also consist of accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other business assets. Commercial and industrial loans may also have real estate collateral.

        At the time a real estate-secured loan is deemed impaired, management determines whether an updated valuation of the real estate is necessary to assist in determining the extent of an impairment reserve, if any. The decision, whether an updated appraisal is required, takes into consideration the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original certified appraisal, the Company's recent experience and knowledge of market conditions, recent list prices or broker opinions, the condition of the property, and environmental factors. If market conditions have changed significantly from the date of the most recent appraisal, an updated appraisal will be obtained. The "as is value" provided in the appraisal is often used as the fair value of the collateral in determining impairment, unless circumstances, such as subsequent improvements, approvals, or other circumstances dictate that another value provided by the appraiser is more appropriate.

        Generally, impaired loans secured by real estate were measured at fair value using certified real estate appraisals that had been completed within the last year. Appraised values are further discounted for estimated costs to sell the property and other selling considerations to arrive at the properties' fair value.

4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued)

        Collateral on certain impaired loans is not limited to real estate, and may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other business assets. Estimated fair values are determined based on borrowers' financial statements, inventory ledgers, accounts receivable agings or appraisals from individuals with knowledge in the business. Stated balances are generally discounted for the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. In determining fair value, liquidation discounts are applied to this collateral based on existing loan evaluation policies.

        The Company distinguishes Substandard loans on both an impaired and non-impaired basis, as it places less emphasis on a loan's classification, and increased reliance on whether the loan was performing in accordance with the contractual terms. "Substandard" classification does not automatically meet the definition of "impaired". A substandard credit is one that is inadequately protected by current sound worth, paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Extensions of credit so classified have well-defined weaknesses which may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard credits, does not have to exist in individual extensions of credit classified substandard. The Company evaluates certain accruing commercial real estate, acquisition and development and commercial and industrial loans rated "substandard" collectively as opposed to evaluating these loans individually as impaired. Although these loans have well defined weaknesses and meet the definition of "substandard", they are generally performing and management has concluded that it is likely it will be able to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

        Repurchase agreements are bank-owned securities sold to a customer with the agreement that the same securities will be repurchased at a predetermined price. This agreement becomes an outstanding obligation and is considered a form of debt or borrowing. The product is offered only to commercial customers who meet certain criteria and are a relatively low-cost funding source for the Company. There were no repurchase agreements or securities pledged for repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2015.

        Other short-term debt includes federal funds purchased, which is overnight, unsecured debt from other banks with interest rates that change daily. At various times the Company borrows federal funds due to fluctuations in loan demand and deposit balances. The Company had federal funds lines with correspondent banks totaling $2,000,000 with no balance outstanding at year-end 2015 or 2014.

        The Company is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the "FHLB") and has credit availability up to $36,967,000 at interest rates based upon current market conditions. This facility is secured by $52,735,000 of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans held in the Company's portfolio. There were borrowings of $18,000,000 and $16,000,000 outstanding at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, under the facility. In addition, the Company had a letter of credit of $5.6 million outstanding as of December 31, 2015 under the facility.

        The Company also had secured lines of credit available with correspondent banks of $9,500,000 with no balance outstanding at December 31, 2015 or 2014.

8. LONG-TERM DEBT

        At December 31, the Company had long-term debt outstanding as follows:

 
  2015   2014  

6.39% fixed rate junior subordinated debentures, issued June 2005, maturing June 2035

  $ 5,000,000   $ 5,000,000  

8.00% fixed rate subordinated debentures, issued 2010, maturing June 2020

        5,500,000  

  $ 5,000,000   $ 10,500,000  

        On June 23, 2005, New Windsor Capital Trust I (the "Trust I"), a Delaware business trust formed, funded and wholly owned by the Company, issued $5,000,000 of 6.39% fixed rate capital securities to institutional investors in a private pooled transaction. The proceeds were transferred to the Company as junior subordinated debt ("2035 junior subordinated debentures") under the same terms and conditions. The Company then contributed the full amount to the Bank in the form of Tier I capital. The Company has, through various contractual arrangements, fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of Trust I's obligations with respect to the capital securities.

        Under applicable regulatory guidelines, a portion of the capital securities qualify as Tier I capital, and the remaining portion will qualify as Tier II capital. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the entire $5,000,000 of the outstanding capital securities qualify as Tier I capital at December 31, 2015.

        The 2035 junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trust I and carry a fixed rate of 6.39%. Both the capital securities of the Trust I and the junior subordinated debentures are scheduled to mature on June 23, 2035, unless called by the Company at 100% of the principal amount.

        Commencing June 1, 2010, the Company offered $5,500,000 of 8.00% fixed rate subordinated debentures ("2020 subordinated debentures") in a private placement offering. The Company completed the issuance on December 29, 2010 and contributed the majority of the proceeds to the Bank in the form of Tier I capital.

        Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the 2020 subordinated debentures qualify as Tier II capital but a portion (20%) would be excluded each year starting in 2015, the fifth year prior to the maturity date.

        From September 30, 2015 through December 31, 2015, $983,758 of the 2020 subordinated debentures were converted into common stock as part of the Company's stock offering and the remaining $4,516,242 was fully redeemed by the Company.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        During the ordinary course of business, the Company makes loans to its directors and their associates and several of its policy-making officers on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing for comparable transactions with other customers.

        The following schedule summarizes changes in amounts of loans outstanding, both direct and indirect, to these persons:

 
  2015   2014  

Balance at January 1

  $ 5,801,860   $ 5,857,242  

Additions

        (311,383 )

Balance at December 31

  $ 5,137,712   $ 5,801,860  

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

        At December 31, 2015 and 2014, in addition to the undisbursed portion of loans receivable, the Company had outstanding loan commitments of $29,447,000 and $31,550,000, respectively. These commitments are normally met from deposit growth, loan payments, excess liquidity, or borrowed money.

        Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are issued primarily to support construction borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially

the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds cash or a secured interest in real estate as collateral to support those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. Standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $4,953,000 and $1,962,000, respectively.

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

(a) Profit Sharing Plan

        The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which covers substantially all employees with more than 90 days of service and at least 1,000 hours of service during the plan year. Employer contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Plan expense amounted to $91,690, $57,291 and $25,486 for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(b) Deferred Compensation Plan

        On January 18, 2005, the Company established a deferred compensation plan. Under this plan, directors and certain key employees are allowed to defer their fees, income or incentives to purchase company stock. Up to 26,250 shares of stock may be issued under this plan and all shares are held in trust. Each director and employee may elect to defer up to 100% of the director fees and qualified income or incentive, respectively. Upon separation from service with the Company, a participant may elect to receive either shares of stock, cash or a combination thereof. As of December 31, 2015, 17,067 shares of common stock have been purchased under this plan, of which 14,545 were purchased from the Company.

(c) 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        On April 17, 2012, the Company's shareholders approved a proposal to adopt the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide employees of the Company with an additional employee benefit by providing them an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of the Company's common stock. The plan is intended to qualify as an "Employee Stock Purchase Plan" under Section 423 of the Code. The plan will purchase shares of the Company's common stock for participants either directly from the Company (either from its authorized and unissued shares of common stock or its issued but not outstanding shares of common stock), in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions. The maximum number of shares of common stock that the plan may purchase directly from the Company will be 26,250. The plan can continue in effect for a term of ten years.

        An employee electing to participate in the plan may do so by authorizing deductions to be taken from his or her paycheck during an offering period up to a maximum of ten percent (10%) of his or her compensation. The plan is broken down into four periods called "offering periods" starting on January 1st, April 1st, July 1st and October 1st. The amount accumulated for each employee through payroll deduction during an offering period will be used to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at the end of the offering period. In determining the price of the shares sold, the Compensation Committee determines the fair market value of the Company's shares using a method allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee may, but is not required to, offer the shares at a discount not

to exceed fifteen percent (15%). No employee may purchase more than $25,000 worth of the Company's common stock under the plan during any one calendar year. The Company's board of directors may at any time amend or terminate the plan, except that no amendment may be made without the approval of the shareholders, if such amendment would (1) increase the maximum number of common stock that may be issued under the plan, or (2) amend the requirements as to the class of employees eligible to purchase stock under the plan.

        During 2015, the plan purchased 456 shares of the Company's stock from the Company. During 2014, the plan purchased 296 shares of the Company's stock, none of which was purchased from the Company. The Company held, as a liability of the Company, funds on behalf of employees participating in the plan of $1,782 at December 31, 2015 and $2,024 at December 31, 2013.

13. REGULATORY MATTERS

        Banks and holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

        The Basel III Capital Rules became effective on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table that follows) of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital (as defined by regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets (as defined).

        The Company's and the Bank's Common Equity Tier 1 capital consists of common stock and related surplus and retained earnings. In connection with the adoption of the Basel III Capital Rules, the Bank elected to "opt-out" of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income in Common Equity Tier 1.

        Tier 1 capital includes Common Equity Tier 1 capital and additional Tier 1 capital. For the Company, additional Tier 1 capital includes the allowable portion of the trust preferred securities (as further outlined in Note 8). Under the Basel III Capital rules, trust preferred securities do not qualify as Tier 1 capital instruments for Companies with assets greater than $15 billion and must be phased-out of Tier 1 capital.

        Total capital includes Tier 1 capital plus the allowable portion of the subordinated debt (as further outlined in Note 8), a permissible portion of the allowance for credit losses and the portion of the trust preferred securities not allowed in Tier 1 capital.

        The Common Equity Tier 1 (beginning in 2015), Tier 1 and Total capital ratios are calculated by dividing the respective capital amounts by risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets are calculated based on regulatory requirements and include total assets allocated by risk weight category and certain off-balance sheet items. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted quarterly average total assets.

13. REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

        When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the Basel III Capital Rules will require the Company and Bank to maintain (1) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% "capital conservation buffer" (which is added to the 4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 7.0% upon full implementation), (2) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation), (3) a minimum ratio of Total capital (that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2) to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0% total capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation) and (4) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average quarterly assets.

        The implementation of the capital conservation buffer will begin on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and be phased in over a four-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019). The Basel III Capital Rules also provide for a "countercyclical capital buffer" that is applicable to only certain covered institutions and does not have any current applicability to the Company or Bank.

        The aforementioned capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer (combined with the countercyclical capital buffer where applicable) will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

        The following table presents actual and required capital ratios as of December 31, 2015 for the Company and the Bank under the Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of December 31, 2015 based on the phase-in provisions of the Basel III Capital Rules and the minimum required capital levels as of January 1, 2019 when the Basel III Capital Rules have been fully phased-in. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules.

can initiate certain mandatory actions if the Company or the Bank fail to meet the minimum capital requirements, which could have a direct material effect. Management believes, as of December 31, 2015, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

        Bank and holding company regulations, as well as Maryland law, impose certain restrictions on dividend payments by the Bank, as well as restricting extensions of credit and transfers of assets between the Bank and the Bancorp. At December 31, 2015, the Bank could have paid dividends of approximately $26,564,000 to its parent company from undivided profits and, with the prior consent and approval of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation, from surplus in excess of $450,000, after providing for expenses, losses, interest and taxes accrued or due.

        On July 12, 2013, the Bancorp entered into a loan agreement with the Bank to refinance the remaining balances on existing loans with the bank. The loan was for $2,300,000 with a maturity date of July 1, 2038 and monthly payments of principal and interest. The interest rate was fixed for the first ten years at 5.00% and then a floating rate of interest equal to prime rate. The note was secured by the mortgage on 222 East Baltimore Street, Taneytown, Maryland, which is the Company's Taneytown branch location. The loan was paid in full in January 2015.

        Commencing on June 1, 2015, the Company conducted a common stock offering to Maryland residents who were existing holders of the Company's common stock, holders of the 8% Fixed Rate Unsecured Subordinated Notes due in 2020 and to other "accredited investors". The purpose of the offering was to strengthen the Company's core equity capital, reduce future interest expense by redeeming the subordinated notes and support growth and expansion of the Bank. The offering was concluded on December 31, 2015. A total of 382,999 shares were issued, increasing stockholders' equity by $5,942,000 after costs related to the offering. This included 61,485 shares related to the conversion of the subordinated notes into common stock. The net proceeds of the offering were used to fully redeem the remaining subordinated notes and the remainder contributed to the Bank in the form of Tier I capital to support future growth.

14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value, whether or not such financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet. Financial instruments have been defined broadly to encompass 95.8% of the Company's assets and 92.3% of its liabilities. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by a quoted market price, if one exists.

14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

        Quoted market prices, where available, are shown as estimates of fair market values. Because no quoted market prices are available for a significant part of the Company's financial instruments, the fair values of such instruments have been derived based on the amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates.

        Present value techniques used in estimating the fair value of many of the Company's financial instruments are significantly affected by the assumptions used. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate cash settlement of the instrument. Additionally, the accompanying estimates of fair values are only representative of the fair values of the individual financial assets and liabilities and should not be considered an indication of the fair value of the Company.

        The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

Temporary investments include cash and due from banks and federal funds sold and other overnight investments.

        At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had outstanding loan commitments and standby letters of credit of $34,400,000 and $33,512,000, respectively. Based on the short-term lives of these instruments, the Company does not believe that the fair value of these instruments differs significantly from their carrying values.

        The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each category of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

        Cash, due from banks, federal funds sold and other overnight investments.    Carrying amount approximated fair value.

        Investment securities.    The fair value for U.S. Agency, state and municipal, and corporate debt securities was based upon quoted market bids; for mortgage-backed securities upon bid prices for similar pools of fixed and variable rate assets, considering current market spreads and prepayment speeds; and for equity securities upon quoted market prices.

        Loans held for sale.    Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Fair value is derived from secondary market quotations for similar instruments.

14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

        Loans net of allowance.    Fair value was estimated by computing the discounted value of estimated cash flows, adjusted for potential credit losses, for pools of loans having similar characteristics. The discount rate was based on the current loan origination rate for a similar loan.

        Accrued interest receivable.    Carrying amount approximated the fair value of accrued interest, considering the short-term nature of the receivable and its expected collection.

        Deposits.    The fair value of demand, money market savings and regular savings deposits, which have no stated maturity, were considered equal to their book value, representing the amount payable on demand. These estimated fair values do not include the intangible value of core deposit relationships, which comprise a significant portion of the Company's deposit base. Management believes that the Company's core deposit relationships provide a relatively stable, low-cost funding source that has a substantial intangible value separate from the value of the deposit balances. The fair value of time deposits was based upon the discounted value of contractual cash flows at current rates for deposits of similar remaining maturity.

        Short-term debt.    The fair value of federal funds purchased, borrowings under secured lines of credit and securities sold under agreements to repurchase is approximated by the carrying value.

        Long-term debt.    The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by discounting the value of contractual cash flows using rates currently offered for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.

        Accrued interest payable.    The fair value is approximated by the carrying value.

        Off-balance sheet financial instruments.    The Company charges fees for commitments to extend credit. Interest rates on loans for which these commitments are extended are normally committed for periods of less than one month. Fees charged on standby letters of credit and other financial guarantees are deemed to be immaterial, and these guarantees are expected to be settled at face amount or expire unused. It is impractical to assign any fair value to these commitments.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

        The financial statements include the accounts of New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. (the "Bancorp") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, New Windsor State Bank (the "Bank") and New Windsor Capital Trust I, as well as one indirect subsidiary, New Windsor Holdings, LLC (a subsidiary of the Bank), referred collectively as the "Company". All significant intercompany balances and transactions between the parent corporation and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry.

Nature of Operations

        The Company, through its bank subsidiary, conducts full service commercial banking operations in Carroll County, Maryland. The primary financial services provided include real estate, commercial and consumer lending as well as offering demand deposits and savings products. The Company, through a broker/dealer relationship, also offers full service brokerage products such as mutual funds, annuities, insurance as well as stocks and bonds.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, other than temporary impairment of investment securities and deferred tax assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks.

Investment Securities

Available-for-Sale:

        Marketable equity securities and debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are acquired as part of the Company's asset/liability management strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, loan demand or deposit balances, changes in prepayment risk and other factors. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses based on the difference between amortized cost and fair value reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of deferred tax. Realized gains and losses, using the specific identification method, are included as a separate component of noninterest income. Related interest and dividends

are included in interest income. Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. Factors affecting the determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred include a downgrading of the security by a rating agency, a significant deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer, or that management would not have the intent and ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank:

        The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the "FHLB") in varying amounts based on balances of outstanding home loans and on amounts borrowed from the FHLB. Because no ready market exists for this stock and it has no quoted fair value, the Bank's investment in this stock is carried at cost.

Restricted Stock

        Restricted stock is stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Atlanta, Atlantic Central Banker's Bank, Community Bankers Bank and Maryland Financial Bank, which are restricted as to their marketability. Because no ready market exists for these investments and they have no quoted market value, the Bank's investment in these stocks are carried at cost.

Loans Held for Sale

        The Company engages in sales of residential mortgage loans and loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration that are originated by the Bank. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Fair value is derived from secondary market quotations for similar instruments. Gains and losses on sales of these loans are recorded as a component of noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

        When the Company retains the servicing rights to collect and remit principal and interest payments, manage escrow account matters and handle borrower relationships on mortgage loans sold, resulting service fee income is included in noninterest income. The Company's current practice is to sell loans on a servicing released basis, and, therefore, it has no intangible asset recorded for the value of such servicing at either September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Loans

        Loans are stated at their principal balance outstanding, net of unearned income. Interest income on most loans is accrued at the contractual rate based on the principal outstanding. The Company generally places loans, except for consumer loans, on non-accrual when payments are 90 days past due. Interest accrual may also be discontinued earlier if, in management's opinion, collection is unlikely. Generally, consumer installment loans are not placed on nonaccrual, but are charged off when they are 90 days past due.

        Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest payments according to contractual terms. Generally,

F-52

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

loans are considered impaired once payments become 90 days or more past due and they are placed on nonaccrual. Management also considers the financial condition of the borrower, cash flows of the loan and the value of the related collateral. Impaired loans do not include large groups of smaller balance homogeneous credits such as residential real estate, consumer installment loans, and commercial leases, which are evaluated collectively for impairment. Loans specifically reviewed for impairment are not considered impaired during periods of "minimal delay" in payment (90 days or less) provided eventual collection of all amounts due is expected. The impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral if repayment is expected to be provided by the collateral. Generally, the Company's impairment on such loans is measured by reference to the fair value of the collateral. Payments on nonaccrual loans are first applied against the principal balance outstanding. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

        Loans whose terms are modified are classified as troubled debt restructured loans if the Company grants such borrowers concessions that it would not otherwise consider and it is deemed that those borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions granted under a trouble debt restructuring generally involve a temporary reduction in interest rate, a below market interest rate given the risk associated with the loan, or an extension of a loan's stated maturity date. Nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings may be restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for a sustained period of time and, based on a well-documented credit evaluation of the borrower's financial condition, there is reasonable assurance of repayment. Loans classified as trouble debt restructurings are generally designated as impaired.

Allowance for Credit Losses

        The allowance for credit losses represents an amount which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb probable losses on existing loans. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on a periodic evaluation of the portfolio with consideration given to the overall loss experience; current economic conditions; volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio; financial condition of the borrowers; and other relevant factors that, in management's judgment, warrant recognition in providing an adequate allowance. Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows and collateral values on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogenous loans based on historical loss experience and consideration of economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The allowance is increased by provisions for credit losses charged against income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Changes in the allowance are recorded periodically as conditions change or as more information becomes available. Such future changes could result in material adjustments to future results of operations.

        The allowance for credit losses consists of a specific component and a nonspecific component. The components of the allowance for credit losses represent an estimation done pursuant to either Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 450 "Contingencies" or ASC Topic 310 "Receivables". The specific component of the allowance for credit losses reflects expected losses resulting from analysis developed through specific credit allocations for

F-53

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

individual loans and historical loss experience for each loan category. The specific credit allocations are based on a regular analysis of all loans where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification. The historical credit loss element is determined statistically using a loss migration analysis that examines loss experience. The factors used to adjust the historical loss experience address various risk characteristics of the Company's loan portfolio including (1) trends in delinquencies and other nonperforming loans, (2) results of independent loan reviews, (3) changes in the categories of loans comprising the loan portfolio, (4) concentrations of loans to specific industry segments, (5) changes in economic conditions on both a local and national level, (6) changes in the Company's credit administration and loan portfolio management processes, and (7) quality of the Company's credit risk identification processes.

        The nonspecific portion of the allowance is determined based on management's assessment of general economic conditions, as well as specific economic factors in the individual markets in which the Company operates. This determination inherently involves a higher risk of uncertainty and considers current risk factors that may not have yet manifested themselves in the Company's historical loss factors used to determine the allocated component of the allowance and it recognizes knowledge of the portfolio may be incomplete.

Premises and Equipment

        Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed using the straight-line method. Premises and equipment are depreciated over the useful lives of the assets. The costs of major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while the costs of ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The following are the general guidelines for useful lives:

Buildings and building improvements   39 - 50 years
Leasehold improvements   lesser of useful life or lease term
Furniture, fixtures and equipment   5 - 7 years
Computer hardware and software   3 - 5 years

Other Real Estate Owned

        Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs of disposal at the date of foreclosure. Costs relating to the development and improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to the holding of the property are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by management and an allowance for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.

Repossessed Assets

        Assets acquired through repossession are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs of disposal at the date of repossession. Costs related to the repair of the asset are capitalized whereas costs relating to the holding of the asset are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by

management and an allowance for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

        The Bank has purchased single-premium life insurance ("BOLI") on certain employees of the Bank as a financing tool for employee benefits. The earnings on the BOLI are recorded as noninterest income. Since the Bank intends to hold the BOLI until the death of the insured, the Bank benefits from the tax-free nature of income generated from the life insurance policies. The value of the life insurance to the Bank is the tax preferred treatment of increases in life insurance cash values and the cash flow generated at the death of the insured. The largest risk to the BOLI program is credit risk of the insurance carriers. To mitigate this risk, annual financial condition reviews are completed on all carriers.

        ASC Topic 715, Compensation—Retirement Benefits requires a liability to be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after the participants' employment or retirement. The required accrued liability is based on either the post-employment benefit cost for continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. The Company's liability is based on the future death benefit.

Transfers of Financial Assets

        Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Income Taxes

        The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its bank subsidiary. Income tax expense is based on the results of operations, adjusted for permanent differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for tax purposes. Deferred income taxes are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred income taxes are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Any deferred tax asset is reduced by the amount of any tax benefit that more likely than not will not be realized.

        Management considers the likelihood of changes by taxing authorities in its filed income tax returns and recognizes a liability for or discloses potential changes that management believes are more likely than not to occur upon examination by taxing authorities. Management has not identified any uncertain tax positions in filed income tax returns that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. The Company's income tax returns for the past three years are subject to examination by tax authorities, and may change upon examination.

Income Per Common Share

        Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year including any potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding, such as options and warrants.

        All previously reported items have been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend, in the form of a stock split, declared on January 20, 2015 to shareholders of record on January 30, 2015 and payable on February 13, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In May 2014, the FASB issued an update (ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers) creating FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contract with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides steps to follow to achieve the core principle. An entity should disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB voted to approve deferring the effective date by one year (i.e., interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017). We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

        In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-1, "No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-1, among other things, (i) requires equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, (iii) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (iv) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, (v) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, (vi) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial

asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements and (viii) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale. ASU 2016-1 will be effective for us on January 1, 2018 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        In February 2016, FASB issued ASU-2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" The guidance requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right of use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For finance leases: the right-of-use asset and a lease liability will be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position; interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income; and repayments of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified within financing activities and payments of interest on the lease liability and variable lease payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For operating leases: the right-of-use asset and a lease liability will be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position; a single lease cost will be recognized, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis; and all cash payments will be classified within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Under Topic 842 the accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. The amendments in Topic 842 are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance of the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren't measured at fair value through net income. In issuing the standard, the FASB is responding to criticism that today's guidance delays recognition of credit losses. The standard will replace today's "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model, will apply to: (1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. The CECL model does not apply to available-for-sale ("AFS") debt securities. For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than as interest income over time, as they do today. The ASU also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity's assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, entities will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach). The Company is currently

evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." Current GAAP is unclear or does not include specific guidance on how to classify certain transactions in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how eight particular transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. Entities will be required to apply the guidance retrospectively. If it is impracticable to apply the guidance retrospectively for an issue, the amendments related to that issue would be applied prospectively. As this guidance only affects the classification within the statement of cash flows, ASU No. 2016-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Under ASC Topic 820, fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described below.

Level 1   Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

 

Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities which use observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3

 

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

        A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

        The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include most U.S. government and agency securities, liquid mortgage products, active listed equities and most money market securities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC Topic 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

        The types of instruments valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include most investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, less liquid mortgage products, less liquid equities, state, municipal and provincial obligations, and certain physical commodities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management's best estimate is used.

        Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or market value. Market value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable. The value of real estate collateral is determined based on appraisal by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. The value of business equipment, inventory and accounts receivable collateral is based on the net book value on the business' financial statements and, if necessary, discounted based on management's review and analysis. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management's historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management's expertise and knowledge of the client and client's business. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above.

        Other real estate owned ("OREO") is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to OREO. Subsequently, OREO is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The estimated fair value for other real estate owned included in Level 3 is determined by independent market based appraisals and other available market information, less cost to sell, that may be reduced further based on market expectations or an executed sales agreement. If the fair value of the collateral deteriorates subsequent to initial recognition, the Company records the OREO as a non-recurring Level 3 adjustment. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods.

        There were eight securities with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2016 and twenty-five securities as of December 31, 2015. The unrealized losses on debt securities are the result of market changes in interest rates since the original purchase. This factor coupled with the fact the Company has both the intent and ability to hold these investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value substantiates that the unrealized losses in the available-for-sale portfolio are temporary. The Company does not believe it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery in value.

        Sales of investment securities in the first nine months of 2016 resulted in proceeds of $9,007,000 with gross gains of $126,000 and no gross losses. There were no sales of investment securities in 2015.

        At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, investments available-for-sale with a carrying value of $16,692,000 and $16,415,000, respectively, were pledged as collateral for certain government deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. The outstanding balance of no single issuer, except for U.S. government and U.S. government agency securities, exceeded ten percent of stockholders' equity at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

        The risks associated with lending activities differ among the various loan types and are subject to the impact of changes in interest rates, market conditions of collateral securing the loans, and general economic conditions. All of these factors may adversely impact the borrower's ability to repay its loans and impact the associated collateral.

        Construction and land development loans consist of 1-4 family residential and commercial construction and land development loans. The risk of loss on these loans is largely dependent on the Company's ability to assess the property's value at the completion of the project which should exceed the property's construction costs. During the construction phase, a number of factors could potentially negatively impact the collateral value, including cost overruns, delays in completing the project, competition and real estate market conditions which may change based on the supply of similar properties in the area. In the event the collateral value at the completion of the project is not sufficient to cover the outstanding loan balance, the Company must rely upon other repayment sources, including the guarantors of the project or other collateral securing the loan. The Company attempts to mitigate credit risk through strict underwriting standards including evaluation of the credit worthiness of the borrower and their success in other projects, release fees, adequate loan-to-value ratios and continual monitoring of the project during its construction phase to determine the impact that overruns and delays may have on the project.

        Residential real estate—mortgage includes mortgage loans with the underlying 1-4 family or multifamily residential property (primarily owner-occupied) securing the credit. The Company's risk exposure is minimized in these types of loans through the evaluation of the credit worthiness of the borrower, including credit scores and debt-to-income ratios and underwriting standards which limits the loan-to-value ratio to generally no more than 80% unless the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance. The Company sells the majority of its fixed rate residential mortgage originations in the secondary market and does not retain the servicing.

        Residential real estate—mortgage also includes home equity loans and lines of credit. These present a slightly higher risk to the Company than 1-4 family first lien mortgages as they can be first or second liens on the underlying property. However, these loans are generally limited with respect to loan-to-value ratios and the credit worthiness of the borrower is considered including credit scores and debt-to-income ratios.

4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued)

        Commercial real estate—mortgage includes various types of loans which have differing levels of credit risk associated with them. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are generally dependent upon the successful operation of the borrower's business, with the cash flows generated from the business being the primary source of repayment of the loan. If the business suffers a downturn in sales or profitability, the borrower's ability to repay the loan could be in jeopardy. In order to minimize this credit risk, the Company has conservative underwriting standards which include the credit worthiness of the borrower, a limitation on loan amounts to the value of the property securing the loan, and strong debt service coverage ratios. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans present a different credit risk to the Company than owner-occupied commercial real estate, as the repayment of the loan is dependent upon the borrower's ability to generate a sufficient level of occupancy to produce rental income that exceeds debt service requirement and operating expenses. Lower occupancy or lease rates may result in reduction in cash flows, which hinder the ability of the borrower to meet debt service requirements, and may result in lower collateral values. The Company generally follows the same underwriting standards for these loans as with owner-occupied commercial real estate, but recognizes the greater risk inherent in these credit relationships in its loan pricing and loan-to-value requirements.

        Commercial and industrial loans include advances to local and regional businesses for general commercial purposes and include permanent and short-term working capital, machinery and equipment financing, and may be in the form of either lines of credit or term loans. Although commercial and industrial loans may be unsecured to the highest rated borrowers, the majority of these loans are secured by the borrower's accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment. In a majority of these loans, the collateral also includes the business owner's personal guarantee as well as personal real estate and assets. Commercial and industrial loans present credit exposure to the Company as they are susceptible to risk of loss during a downturn in the economy, as the borrower may have greater difficulty in meeting their debt service requirements and the value of collateral may decline. The Company attempts to mitigate this risk through strict underwriting standards, including evaluation of the credit worthiness of the borrower. Additionally, monitoring of the loans through annual renewals and meetings with the borrowers are common. However, these procedures cannot eliminate the risk of losses associated with these loans.

        Consumer loans consist primarily of automobile loans made on a direct basis. The credit risk of these loans is mitigated through conservative underwriting standards, including evaluation of the credit worthiness of the borrower's credit scores and debt-to-income ratios, and the collateral value of the assets securing the loan. Though some loans are done on an unsecured basis, the majority are secured. However, the value of the collateral on these loans may depreciate quickly or may fluctuate and thus present a greater risk to the Company than 1-4 family residential loans.

        In order to monitor ongoing risk associated with its loan portfolio and specific credits within the segments, management uses an eight point internal grading system. Management generally follows regulatory definitions in assigning criticized ratings to loans, including substandard, doubtful or loss. The first four rating categories, representing the lowest risk to the Company, are combined and given a "Pass" rating. The "Special Mention" category includes loans that have potential weaknesses that may, if not monitored or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Bank's position at some future date. These assets pose elevated risk, but their weakness does not yet justify a more severe, or criticized rating. "Substandard" loans are classified as they have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses

that jeopardize liquidation of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. "Substandard" loans include loans that management has determined not to be impaired, as well as loans considered to be impaired. A "doubtful" loan has a high probability of total or substantial loss, but because of specific pending events that may strengthen the asset, its classification of loss is deferred. "Loss" assets are considered uncollectible, as the underlying borrowers are often in bankruptcy, have suspended debt repayments, or ceased business operations. Once a loan is classified as "Loss", there is little prospect of collecting the loan's principal or interest and it is generally written off.

        The Company has a loan review policy and program which is designed to reduce and control risk in the lending function. This includes the monitoring of the lending activities of all bank personnel with respect to underwriting and processing new loans and the timely follow-up and corrective action for loans showing signs of deterioration in quality. The loan review program provides the Company with an internal, independent review of the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. Third-party loan reviews are completed annually and involve a representative sample of the Bank's entire loan portfolio. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as extended delinquencies, bankruptcy, repossession or death of the borrower occurs, which heightens awareness as to a possible credit event.

        Classified loans may also be evaluated for impairment. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Nonaccrual loans and troubled debt restructures are, by definition, deemed to be impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is collateral dependent if the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. For loans that are deemed to be impaired for extended periods of time, periodic updates on fair values are obtained, which may include updated appraisals. The updated fair values will be incorporated into the impairment analysis as of the next reporting period. In the event an updated appraisal that requires a higher impairment reserve is received after a reporting period, but prior to the issuance of the financial statements, an evaluation is made as to the significance of the difference and whether the amounts need to be reflected in the financial statements not yet issued.

        Loan charge-offs, which may include, from time-to-time, a partial charge-off, are taken on an impaired loan that is collateral dependent if the loan's carrying balance exceeds its collateral's appraised value, the loan has been identified as uncollectible, and it is deemed to be a confirmed loss. Typically, impaired loans with a charge-off or partial charge-off will continue to be considered impaired, unless the note is split into two, and management expects the performing note to continue to perform and is adequately secured. The second, or non-performing note, would be charged-off. Further, an impaired loan with a partial charge-off may continue to have an impairment reserve on it after the partial charge-off, if factors warrant.

        As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, a majority of the Company's impaired loans' extent of impairment was measured based on the estimated fair value of the collateral securing the credit. Impairment on troubled debt restructurings that are following the revised terms of the loan are determined based on discounted cash flows. For real estate loans, collateral generally consists of commercial real estate, but in the case of commercial and industrial loans, it would also consist of accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other business assets. Commercial and industrial loans may also have real estate collateral.

        At the time a real estate-secured loan is deemed impaired, management determines whether an updated valuation of the real estate is necessary to assist in determining the extent of an impairment reserve, if any. The decision, whether an updated appraisal is required, takes into consideration the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original certified appraisal, the Company's recent experience and knowledge of market conditions, recent list prices or broker opinions, the condition of the property, and environmental factors. If market conditions have changed significantly from the date of the most recent appraisal, an updated appraisal will be obtained. The "as is value" provided in the appraisal is often used as the fair value of the collateral in determining impairment, unless circumstances, such as subsequent improvements, approvals, or other circumstances dictate that another value provided by the appraiser is more appropriate.

        Generally, impaired loans secured by real estate were measured at fair value using certified real estate appraisals that had been completed within the last year. Appraised values are further discounted for estimated costs to sell the property and other selling considerations to arrive at the properties' fair value.

        Collateral on certain impaired loans is not limited to real estate, and may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other business assets. Estimated fair values are determined based on borrowers' financial statements, inventory ledgers, accounts receivable agings or appraisals from individuals with knowledge in the business. Stated balances are generally discounted for the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. In determining fair value, liquidation discounts are applied to this collateral based on existing loan evaluation policies.

        The Company distinguishes Substandard loans on both an impaired and non-impaired basis, as it places less emphasis on a loan's classification, and increased reliance on whether the loan was performing in accordance with the contractual terms. "Substandard" classification does not automatically meet the definition of "impaired". A substandard credit is one that is inadequately protected by current sound worth, paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Extensions of credit so classified have well-defined weaknesses which may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard credits, does not have to exist in individual extensions of credit classified substandard. The Company evaluates certain accruing commercial real estate, acquisition and development and commercial and industrial loans rated "substandard" collectively as opposed to evaluating these loans individually as impaired. Although these loans have well defined weaknesses and meet the definition of "substandard", they are generally performing and management has concluded that it is likely it will be able to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

        Repurchase agreements are bank-owned securities sold to a customer with the agreement that the same securities will be repurchased at a predetermined price. This agreement becomes an outstanding obligation and is considered a form of debt or borrowing. The product is offered only to commercial customers who meet certain criteria and are a relatively low-cost funding source for the Company. There were no repurchase agreements or securities pledged for repurchase agreements as of September 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

        Other short-term debt includes federal funds purchased, which is overnight, unsecured debt from other banks with interest rates that change daily. At various times the Company borrows federal funds due to fluctuations in loan demand and deposit balances. The Company had federal funds lines with

correspondent banks totaling $2,000,000 with no balance outstanding at September 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

        The Company is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the "FHLB") and has credit availability up to $36,739,000 at interest rates based upon current market conditions. This facility is secured by $52,034.000 of one-to four-family residential mortgage loans held in the Company's portfolio. There were borrowings of $9,500,000 and $18,000,000 outstanding at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, under the facility. In addition, the Company had a letters of credit of $6.6 million and $5.6 million outstanding as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, under the facility.

        The Company also had secured lines of credit available with correspondent banks of $9,500,000 with no balance outstanding at September 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

8. LONG-TERM DEBT

        The Company had long-term debt outstanding as follows:

 
  September 30,
2016
  December 31,
2015
 

6.39% fixed rate junior subordinated debentures, issued June 2005, maturing June 2035

  $ 5,000,000   $ 5,000,000  

8.00% fixed rate subordinated debentures, issued 2010, maturing June 2020

   
   
 

  $ 5,000,000   $ 5,000,000  

        On June 23, 2005, New Windsor Capital Trust I (the "Trust I"), a Delaware business trust formed, funded and wholly owned by the Company, issued $5,000,000 of 6.39% fixed rate capital securities to institutional investors in a private pooled transaction. The proceeds were transferred to the Company as junior subordinated debt ("2035 junior subordinated debentures") under the same terms and conditions. The Company then contributed the full amount to the Bank in the form of Tier I capital. The Company has, through various contractual arrangements, fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of Trust I's obligations with respect to the capital securities.

        Under applicable regulatory guidelines, a portion of the capital securities qualify as Tier I capital, and the remaining portion will qualify as Tier II capital. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the entire $5,000,000 of the outstanding capital securities qualify as Tier I capital at September 30, 2106 and December 31, 2015.

        The 2035 junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trust I and carry a fixed rate of 6.39%. Both the capital securities of the Trust I and the junior subordinated debentures are scheduled to mature on June 23, 2035, unless called by the Company at 100% of the principal amount.

        Commencing June 1, 2010, the Company offered $5,500,000 of 8.00% fixed rate subordinated debentures ("2020 subordinated debentures") in a private placement offering. The Company completed

the issuance on December 29, 2010 and contributed the majority of the proceeds to the Bank in the form of Tier I capital.

        Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the 2020 subordinated debentures qualify as Tier II capital but a portion (20%) would be excluded each year starting in 2015, the fifth year prior to the maturity date.

        From September 30, 2015 through December 31, 2015, $983,758 of the 2020 subordinated debentures were converted into common stock as part of the Company's stock offering and the remaining $4,516,242 was fully redeemed by the Company.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

        At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, in addition to the undisbursed portion of loans receivable, the Company had outstanding loan commitments of $34,565,000 and $29,447,000, respectively. These commitments are normally met from deposit growth, loan payments, excess liquidity, or borrowed money.

        Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are issued primarily to support construction borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds cash or a secured interest in real estate as collateral to support those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. Standby letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $3,587,000 and $4,953,000, respectively.

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

        The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which covers substantially all employees with more than 90 days of service and at least 1,000 hours of service during the plan year. Employer contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Plan expense amounted to $79,712 and $68,914 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

        On January 18, 2005, the Company established a deferred compensation plan. Under this plan, directors and certain key employees are allowed to defer their fees, income or incentives to purchase company stock. Up to 26,250 shares of stock may be issued under this plan and all shares are held in

trust. Each director and employee may elect to defer up to 100% of the director fees and qualified income or incentive, respectively. Upon separation from service with the Company, a participant may elect to receive either shares of stock, cash or a combination thereof. As of September 30, 2016, 21,725 shares of common stock have been purchased under this plan, of which 19,203 were purchased from the Company.

        On April 17, 2012, the Company's shareholders approved a proposal to adopt the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide employees of the Company with an additional employee benefit by providing them an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of the Company's common stock. The plan is intended to qualify as an "Employee Stock Purchase Plan" under Section 423 of the Code. The plan will purchase shares of the Company's common stock for participants either directly from the Company (either from its authorized and unissued shares of common stock or its issued but not outstanding shares of common stock), in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions. The maximum number of shares of common stock that the plan may purchase directly from the Company will be 26,250. The plan can continue in effect for a term of ten years.

        An employee electing to participate in the plan may do so by authorizing deductions to be taken from his or her paycheck during an offering period up to a maximum of ten percent (10%) of his or her compensation. The plan is broken down into four periods called "offering periods" starting on January 1st, April 1st, July 1st and October 1st. The amount accumulated for each employee through payroll deduction during an offering period will be used to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at the end of the offering period. In determining the price of the shares sold, the Compensation Committee determines the fair market value of the Company's shares using a method allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee may, but is not required to, offer the shares at a discount not to exceed fifteen percent (15%). No employee may purchase more than $25,000 worth of the Company's common stock under the plan during any one calendar year. The Company's board of directors may at any time amend or terminate the plan, except that no amendment may be made without the approval of the shareholders, if such amendment would (1) increase the maximum number of common stock that may be issued under the plan, or (2) amend the requirements as to the class of employees eligible to purchase stock under the plan.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the plan purchased 301 shares of the Company's stock of which 198 shares were purchased from the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the plan purchased 380 shares of the Company's stock of which 309 shares were purchased from the Company. The Company held, as a liability of the Company, funds on behalf of employees participating in the plan of $1,922 at September 30, 2016 and $1,552 at September 30, 2015.

        The Bank has entered into agreements with certain employees to provide life insurance benefits payable in connection with policies of life insurance on those employees that are owned by the Bank. Each of the agreements provides for the amount of death benefits to be paid to beneficiaries of the insured. For this plan, the Bank expensed $6,275 in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

        In 2016, the Bank adopted supplemental executive retirement plans for certain executives. The plans provide cash compensation to the executive officers under certain circumstances, including a

separation of service. The benefits vest over the period from adoption to a specified age for each executive. The Bank recorded expense, including interest, of $30,598 in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

13. REGULATORY MATTERS

        Banks and holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

        The Basel III Capital Rules became effective on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table that follows) of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital (as defined by regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets (as defined).

        The Company's and the Bank's Common Equity Tier 1 capital consists of common stock and related surplus and retained earnings. In connection with the adoption of the Basel III Capital Rules, the Bank elected to "opt-out" of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income in Common Equity Tier 1.

        Tier 1 capital includes Common Equity Tier 1 capital and additional Tier 1 capital. For the Company, additional Tier 1 capital includes the allowable portion of the trust preferred securities (as further outlined in Note 8). Under the Basel III Capital rules, trust preferred securities do not qualify as Tier 1 capital instruments for Companies with assets greater than $15 billion and must be phased-out of Tier 1 capital.

        Total capital includes Tier 1 capital plus the allowable portion of the subordinated debt, a permissible portion of the allowance for credit losses and the portion of the trust preferred securities not allowed in Tier 1 capital.

        The Common Equity Tier 1 (beginning in 2015), Tier 1 and Total capital ratios are calculated by dividing the respective capital amounts by risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets are calculated based on regulatory requirements and include total assets allocated by risk weight category and certain off-balance sheet items. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted quarterly average total assets.

        When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the Basel III Capital Rules will require the Company and Bank to maintain (1) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% "capital conservation buffer" (which is added to the 4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 7.0% upon full implementation), (2) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation), (3) a minimum ratio of Total capital

F-80

13. REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

(that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2) to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0% total capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation) and (4) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average quarterly assets.

        The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and will be phased in over a four-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019). The Basel III Capital Rules also provide for a "countercyclical capital buffer" that is applicable to only certain covered institutions and does not have any current applicability to the Company or Bank.

        The aforementioned capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer (combined with the countercyclical capital buffer where applicable) will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

        The following table presents actual and required capital ratios for the Company and the Bank under the Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels based on the phase-in provisions of the Basel III Capital Rules and the minimum required capital levels as of January 1, 2019 when the Basel III Capital Rules have been fully phased-in. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules.

13. REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

        Bank and holding company regulations, as well as Maryland law, impose certain restrictions on dividend payments by the Bank, as well as restricting extensions of credit and transfers of assets between the Bank and the Bancorp. At September 30, 2016, the Bank could have paid dividends of approximately $27,811,000 to its parent company from undivided profits and, with the prior consent and approval of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation, from surplus in excess of $450,000, after providing for expenses, losses, interest and taxes accrued or due.

        On July 12, 2013, the Bancorp entered into a loan agreement with the Bank to refinance the remaining balances on existing loans with the bank. The loan was for $2,300,000 with a maturity date of July 1, 2038 and monthly payments of principal and interest. The interest rate was fixed for the first ten years at 5.00% and then a floating rate of interest equal to prime rate. The note was secured by the mortgage on 222 East Baltimore Street, Taneytown, Maryland, which is the Company's Taneytown branch location. The loan was paid in full in January 2015.

        Commencing on June 1, 2015, the Company conducted a common stock offering to Maryland residents who were existing holders of the Company's common stock, holders of the 8% Fixed Rate Unsecured Subordinated Notes due in 2020 and to other "accredited investors". The purpose of the offering was to strengthen the Company's core equity capital, reduce future interest expense by redeeming the subordinated notes and support growth and expansion of the Bank. The offering was concluded on December 31, 2015. A total of 382,999 shares were issued, increasing stockholders' equity by $5,942,000 after costs related to the offering. This included 61,485 shares related to the conversion of the subordinated notes into common stock. The net proceeds of the offering were used to fully redeem the remaining subordinated notes and the remainder contributed to the Bank in the form of Tier I capital to support future growth.

14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value, whether or not such financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet. Financial instruments have been defined broadly to encompass 95.5% of the Company's assets and 92.4% of its liabilities. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by a quoted market price, if one exists.

        Quoted market prices, where available, are shown as estimates of fair market values. Because no quoted market prices are available for a significant part of the Company's financial instruments, the fair values of such instruments have been derived based on the amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates.

        Present value techniques used in estimating the fair value of many of the Company's financial instruments are significantly affected by the assumptions used. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate cash settlement of the instrument. Additionally, the accompanying estimates of fair values are only representative of the fair values of the individual financial assets and liabilities and should not be considered an indication of the fair value of the Company.

14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

        At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding loan commitments and standby letters of credit of $38,152,000 and $34,400,000, respectively. Based on the short-term lives of these instruments, the Company does not believe that the fair value of these instruments differs significantly from their carrying values.

        The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each category of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

        Cash, due from banks, federal funds sold and other overnight investments.    Carrying amount approximated fair value.

        Investment securities.    The fair value for U.S. Agency, state and municipal, and corporate debt securities was based upon quoted market bids; for mortgage-backed securities upon bid prices for similar pools of fixed and variable rate assets, considering current market spreads and prepayment speeds; and for equity securities upon quoted market prices.

        Loans held for sale.    Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Fair value is derived from secondary market quotations for similar instruments.

        Loans net of allowance.    Fair value was estimated by computing the discounted value of estimated cash flows, adjusted for potential credit losses, for pools of loans having similar characteristics. The discount rate was based on the current loan origination rate for a similar loan.

        Accrued interest receivable.    Carrying amount approximated the fair value of accrued interest, considering the short-term nature of the receivable and its expected collection.

        Deposits.    The fair value of demand, money market savings and regular savings deposits, which have no stated maturity, were considered equal to their book value, representing the amount payable on demand. These estimated fair values do not include the intangible value of core deposit relationships, which comprise a significant portion of the Company's deposit base. Management believes that the Company's core deposit relationships provide a relatively stable, low-cost funding source that has a substantial intangible value separate from the value of the deposit balances. The fair value of time deposits was based upon the discounted value of contractual cash flows at current rates for deposits of similar remaining maturity.

        Short-term debt.    The fair value of federal funds purchased, borrowings under secured lines of credit and securities sold under agreements to repurchase is approximated by the carrying value.

        Long-term debt.    The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by discounting the value of contractual cash flows using rates currently offered for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.

        Accrued interest payable.    The fair value is approximated by the carrying value.

        Off-balance sheet financial instruments.    The Company charges fees for commitments to extend credit. Interest rates on loans for which these commitments are extended are normally committed for periods of less than one month. Fees charged on standby letters of credit and other financial guarantees are deemed to be immaterial, and these guarantees are expected to be settled at face amount or expire unused. It is impractical to assign any fair value to these commitments.

FORM OF NEW WINDSOR BANCORP, INC.
LETTER AGREEMENT

November     , 2016

ACNB Corporation
16 Lincoln Square
P.O. Box 3129
Gettysburg, PA17325

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        ACNB Corporation ("ACNB"), ACNB South Acquisition Subsidiary LLC ("Acquisition Subsidiary"), and New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. ("NW Bancorp") and New Windsor State Bank ("NWS Bank") are entering into concurrently herewith an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to be dated as of November     , 2016 (the "Agreement").

        Pursuant to the proposed Agreement, whereby, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein NW Bancorp will merge with and into Acquisition Subsidiary, with Acquisition Subsidiary surviving the merger (the "Merger").

        ACNB has requested, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Agreement, that each of the undersigned, being a director or executive officer of NW Bancorp, executes and delivers to ACNB this Letter Agreement.

        I understand that ACNB is requiring, as an inducement to its execution and delivery to NW Bancorp of the Agreement, that I execute and deliver to ACNB this Letter Agreement.

        The undersigned, solely in his or her individual capacity as a stockholder, (and not as a fiduciary, trustees, financial advisor, or advisor, including as a director or executive officer of NW Bancorp), in order to induce ACNB to execute and deliver to NW Bancorp the Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, hereby irrevocably agrees as follows:

A-A-1


Table of Contents

        The agreements contained in this Letter Agreement shall apply to me solely in my capacity as a shareholder of NW Bancorp, and no agreement contained in this Letter Agreement shall apply to me in my capacity as a director, officer or employee of NW Bancorp or NWS Bank. In addition, nothing contained in this Letter Agreement shall be deemed to apply to, or limit in any manner, my obligations to comply with my fiduciary duties as an officer or director, as applicable, of NW Bancorp or NWS Bank.

        This Letter Agreement shall be effective upon acceptance by ACNB. Nothing herein shall be deemed to vest in ACNB any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any shares of common stock of NW Bancorp.

        If any term or provision of this Letter Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Letter Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, ACNB and the undersigned shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Letter Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

        The undersigned agrees that, in the event of his or her breach of this Letter Agreement, ACNB shall be entitled to such remedies and relief against the undersigned as are available at law or in equity. The undersigned acknowledges that there is not an adequate remedy at law to compensate ACNB for a violation of this Letter Agreement, and irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by law,

A-A-2


Table of Contents

any defense that he or she might have based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable relief. The undersigned agrees to the granting of injunctive relief without the posting of any bond or other securities and further agrees that, if any bond or other securities shall be required, such bond or other securities shall be in a nominal amount.

        This Letter Agreement shall terminate concurrently with, and be of no further force and effect concurrently with, and automatically upon the earlier to occur of (a) the consummation of the Merger, or (b) any termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms, except that any such termination shall be without prejudice to ACNB's rights arising out of any willful breach of any covenant or representation contained herein.



        This Letter Agreement shall be effective upon acceptance by ACNB and may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Letter Agreement.

10.
Unauthorized Disclosure.    During the term of his employment hereunder, or at any later time, Executive shall not, without the written consent of the Board of Directors of the Bank or a person authorized thereby, knowingly disclose to any person, other than an employee of the Corporation or the Bank or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by Executive of his duties as an executive of the Bank, any material confidential information obtained by him while in the employ of the Bank with respect to any of the Corporation's and the Bank's services, products, improvements, formulas, designs or styles, processes, customers, methods of business, or any business practices the disclosure of which could be or will be damaging to the Corporation or the Bank; provided, however, that confidential information shall not include any information known generally to the public (other than as a result of unauthorized disclosure by Executive or any person with the assistance, consent or direction of Executive) or any information of a type not otherwise considered confidential by persons engaged in the same business or a business similar to that conducted by the Corporation and the Bank or any information that must be disclosed as required by law.

11.
Work Made for Hire.    Any work performed by Executive under this Agreement should be considered a "Work Made for Hire" as the phrase is defined by the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 and shall be owned by and for the express benefit of the Bank and its affiliates and subsidiaries. In the event it should be established that such work does not qualify as a Work Made for Hire, Executive agrees to and does hereby assign to the Bank, and its affiliates and subsidiaries, all of his rights, title, and/or interest in such work product, including, but not limited to, all copyrights, patents, trademarks, and propriety rights.

12.
Return of Company Property and Documents.    Executive agrees that, at the time of termination of his employment, regardless of the reason for termination, he will deliver to the Bank and its affiliates and subsidiaries, any and all company property, including, but not limited to, keys, security codes or passes, mobile telephones, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, software programs, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any of the aforementioned items developed or obtained by Executive during the course of his employment.

14.
Mitigation.    Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise.

15.
Survival.    The provisions, rights and obligations of Paragraphs 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 22 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

16.
Section 409A.

(a)
If when Executive's employment terminates, the Executive is a "specified employee," as defined in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then despite any provision of this Agreement or other plan or agreement to the contrary, Executive will not be entitled to the payments until the earliest of: (a) the date that is at least six (6) months after Executive's separation from service, as defined in Code Section 409A, for reasons other than Executive's death, (b) the date of Executive's death, or (c) any earlier date that does not result in additional tax or interest to Executive under Code Section 409A. As promptly as possible after the end of the period during which payments are delayed under this provision, the entire amount of the delayed payments shall be paid to Executive in a single lump sum with any remaining payments to commence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or other applicable plan or agreement.

(b)
Any payments made pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent of payments made from the date of termination through March 15th of the calendar year following such date, are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b)(2) and thus payable pursuant to the "short-term deferral" rule set forth in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4); to the extent such payments are made following said March 15th, they are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b)(2) made upon an involuntary termination from service and payable pursuant to Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), to the maximum extent permitted by said provision.

(c)
The parties hereto intend that any and all post-employment compensation under this Agreement satisfy the requirements of Section 409A or an exception or exclusion therefrom to avoid the imposition of any accelerated or additional taxes pursuant to Section 409A. Any terms not specifically defined shall have the meaning as set forth in Section 409A.

(d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment shall be made pursuant to this Agreement unless such termination of employment is a "separation of service" as defined in Code Section 409A.

17.
Notices.    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be deemed properly given if in writing and if mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid with return receipt requested, to Executive's residence, in the case of notices to Executive, and to the principal executive office of the Bank, in the case of notices to the Bank.

18.
Waiver.    No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and an executive officer specifically designated by the Board of Directors of the Bank. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

A-D-10


Table of Contents

19.
Assignment.    This Agreement shall not be assignable by any party, except by the Corporation or Bank to any successor in interest to its respective business.

20.
Entire Agreement.    This Agreement supersedes any and all agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties with respect to the employment of Executive by the Bank and/or the Corporation, including but not limited to the New Windsor Agreement, the SERP, and the CCPP Plan, except the Acknowledgement and Release dated November     , 2016. This Agreement contains all the covenants and agreements between the parties with respect to employment.

21.
Successors; Binding Agreement.

(a)
The Corporation or the Bank will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the businesses and/or assets of the Corporation and the Bank to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure by the Corporation and the Bank to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement shall apply. As used in this Agreement, "Corporation" and "Bank" shall mean the Corporation and the Bank, as defined previously and any successor to their respective businesses and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

(b)
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die after a Notice of Termination is delivered by Executive, after a Change in Control, or following termination of Executive's employment without Cause, and any amounts would be payable to Executive under this Agreement if Executive had continued to live, all such amounts shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive's devisee, legatee, or other designee, or, if there is no such designee, to Executive's estate.

22.
Arbitration.    The Bank and Executive recognize that in the event a dispute should arise between them concerning the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement, lengthy and expensive litigation will not afford a practical resolution of the issues within a reasonable period of time. Consequently, each party agrees that all disputes, disagreements and questions of interpretation concerning this Agreement (except for any enforcement sought with respect to Sections 9, 10, 11 or 12 which may be litigated in court, including an action for injunction or other relief) are to be submitted for resolution, in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to the American Arbitration Association (the "Association") in accordance with the Association's National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes or other applicable rules then in effect ("Rules"). The Bank or Executive may initiate an arbitration proceeding at any time by giving notice to the other in accordance with the Rules. The Bank and Executive may, as a matter of right, mutually agree on the appointment of a particular arbitrator from the Association's pool. The arbitrator shall not be bound by the rules of evidence and procedure of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, but shall be bound by the substantive law applicable to this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator, absent fraud, duress, incompetence or gross and obvious error of fact, shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be enforceable in courts of proper jurisdiction. Following written notice of a request for arbitration, the Bank and Executive shall be entitled to an injunction restraining all further proceedings in any pending or subsequently filed litigation concerning this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein or any enforcement sought with respect to Sections 9, 10, 11 or 12 of this Agreement, including an action for injunction or other relief.

Part 359 applies, then the Bank shall only be required to make such payments as are permitted by the applicable regulatory agency.

        THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the      day of November, 2016, between ACNB BANK ("ACNB Bank") a state-chartered bank having a place of business at 16 Lincoln Square, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, 17325 and                ("Executive"), an individual (collectively the "Parties" and, individually, sometimes a "Party").

W I T N E S S E T H:

        WHEREAS, ACNB Bank is a subsidiary of ACNB Corporation ("ACNB");

        WHEREAS, ACNB, ACNB Bank, ACNB South Acquisition Subsidiary, LLC ("Acquisition Subsidiary"), New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. ("NW Bancorp), and New Windsor State ACNB Bank ("NWS Bank") are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Merger Agreement") pursuant to which NW Bancorp will merge with and into the Acquisition Subsidiary with Acquisition Subsidiary surviving and NWS Bank will merge with and into ACNB Bank with ACNB Bank surviving ("Merger");

        WHEREAS, Executive is currently the                of NWS Bank;

        WHEREAS, Executive desires to serve ACNB Bank as                after the Merger;

        WHEREAS, this Agreement will become operative only upon a Change of Control (as defined herein); and

        WHEREAS, the purpose of this Agreement is to define certain severance benefits that will be paid by ACNB in the event of a Change of Control (as defined herein), but is not intended to affect, nor does it affect, the terms of the Executive's employment at will, in the absence of a Change of Control (as defined herein) of ACNB.

        NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the Executive's service to ACNB Bank and entering into a Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement dated November     , 2016 and of the mutual covenants, undertakings and agreements set forth herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:


        1.
    TERM.     The term of the Agreement shall be effective as of the Closing Date, as defined in the Merger Agreement, and shall continue until the earlier of (a) the second anniversary date of the Closing Date as defined in the Merger Agreement or (b) until either Executive or ACNB Bank gives the other written notice of termination of employment, with or without cause; provided, however, that during the period of time between the execution of an agreement to effect a Change of Control (as defined herein) and the actual Date of Change of Control (as defined herein), termination of the Executive's employment shall only be for Cause (as defined herein).

In the event the payment described herein, when added to all other amounts or benefits provided to or on behalf of the Executive in connection with his or her termination of employment, would result in the imposition of an excise tax under Code Section 4999, such payments shall be retroactively (if necessary) reduced to the extent necessary to avoid such excise tax imposition. Upon written notice to Executive, together with calculations of ACNB Bank's independent auditors, Executive shall remit to ACNB Bank the amount of the reduction plus such interest as may be necessary to avoid the imposition of such excise tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this contract to the contrary, if any portion of the amount herein payable to the Executive is determined to be non-deductible pursuant to the regulations promulgated under Section 280G of the Code, then ACNB Bank shall be required only to pay to Executive the amount determined to be deductible under Section 280G.

    ASSIGNMENT.     This Agreement shall not be assignable by any party, except by ACNB and ACNB Bank to any successor in interest to their respective businesses.

        Re: Affiliate Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") dated as of November     , 2016 by and among ACNB Corporation ("ACNB"), ACNB South Acquisition Subsidiary, LLC ("Acquisition Subsidiary"), ACNB Bank, New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. ("NW Bancorp"), and New Windsor State Bank ("NW Bank") whereby NW Bancorp will merge with and into the Acquisition Subsidiary (the "Merger"), and all of the outstanding common stock of NW Bancorp (the "NW Bancorp Common Stock") will be converted into the right to receive cash and/or common stock of ACNB (the "ACNB Common Stock"), it is anticipated that I will be appointed or elected to the boards of directors of ACNB and ACNB Bank.

        I have been advised that, as a director of ACNB and ACNB Bank, I may be deemed an "affiliate" of ACNB, as that term is used for purposes of Rule 144 promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

        I hereby agree that I will not offer to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of ACNB Common Stock I own or will receive in connection with the Merger or otherwise except in compliance with the applicable provisions of SEC Rule 144.

        I hereby consent to the placement of a stop transfer order with ACNB's stock transfer agent and registrar and the endorsement on the certificates, if any, representing any shares of ACNB Common Stock owned by me, of a restrictive legend that will read, substantially, as follows:

        ACNB's stock transfer agent and registrar shall be given an appropriate stop transfer order and will not be required to register any attempted transfer of ACNB Common Stock owned by me, unless the proposed transfer is effected in compliance with the terms of this letter agreement.

        I understand and agree that this letter agreement will terminate and be of no further force and effect and the legend set forth above will be removed, and the related stop transfer restrictions will be lifted forthwith, if:

        For so long as and to the extent necessary to permit the undersigned to sell the ACNB Common Stock that I own pursuant to SEC Rule 144, ACNB shall, subject to the restrictions set forth in this letter agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act.

Very truly yours,

[Letterhead of Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P.]

November 21, 2016

Board of Directors
New Windsor Bancorp, Inc.
222 E. Baltimore Street
Taneytown, MD 21787

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        New Windsor Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), New Windsor State Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, ACNB Corporation ("ACNB"), ACNB Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACNB, and ACNB South Acquisition Subsidiary, LLC ("Acquisition Sub"), a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of ACNB, are proposing to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into Acquisition Sub, with Acquisition Sub being the surviving entity (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("Company Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for certain shares of Company Common Stock as specified in the Agreement, will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof (subject to adjustment as described below), either: (i) 1.10 shares (the "Per Share Stock Consideration") of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, of ACNB ("ACNB Common Stock") or (ii) $30.00 in cash (the "Per Share Cash Consideration"); provided that the Agreement provides, generally, that shareholder elections will be adjusted as necessary to result in an overall ratio of 85% of Company Common Stock being converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration and 15% of Company Common Stock being converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration. The Per Share Stock Consideration and the Per Share Cash Consideration are collectively referred to herein as the "Merger Consideration." Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. The terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement. You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to the holders of Company Common Stock.

        Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. ("Sandler O'Neill", "we" or "our"), as part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions. In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed and considered, among other things: (i) an execution copy of the Agreement, dated as November 21, 2016; (ii) certain financial statements and other historical financial information of the Company that we deemed relevant; (iii) certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of ACNB that we deemed relevant; (iv) certain internal financial projections for the Company as provided by the senior management of the Company; (v) certain internal financial projections for ACNB as provided by the senior management of ACNB; (vi) the pro forma financial impact of the Merger on ACNB based on certain assumptions relating to purchase accounting adjustments, cost savings and transaction expenses, as provided by the senior management of ACNB; (vii) the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for Company Common Stock and ACNB Common Stock, including a comparison of certain stock market information for Company Common Stock and ACNB Common Stock and certain stock indices as well as publicly available information for certain other similar companies, the securities of which are publicly traded; (viii) a comparison of certain financial information for the Company and ACNB with similar institutions for which information is publicly available; (ix) the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the bank and thrift industry (on a regional and nationwide basis), to the extent publicly available; (x) the current market environment generally and the banking environment in particular; and

(xi) such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as we considered relevant. We also discussed with certain members of the senior management of the Company the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company and held similar discussions with certain members of the senior management of ACNB regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of ACNB.

        In performing our review, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was available to and reviewed by us from public sources, that was provided to us by the Company or ACNB or their respective representatives or that was otherwise reviewed by us, and we have assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering this opinion without any independent verification or investigation. We have relied on the assurances of the respective managements of the Company and ACNB that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading. We have not been asked to and have not undertaken an independent verification of any of such information and we do not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. We did not make an independent evaluation or perform an appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company or ACNB or any of their respective subsidiaries, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. We render no opinion or evaluation on the collectability of any assets or the future performance of any loans of the Company or ACNB. We did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of the Company or ACNB, or of the combined entity after the Merger, and we have not reviewed any individual credit files relating to the Company or ACNB. We have assumed, with your consent, that the respective allowances for loan losses for both the Company and ACNB are adequate to cover such losses and will be adequate on a pro forma basis for the combined entity.

        In preparing its analyses, Sandler O'Neill used certain internal financial projections for the Company as provided by the senior management of the Company, as well as certain internal financial projections for ACNB as provided by the senior management of ACNB. Sandler O'Neill also received and used in its pro forma analyses certain assumptions relating to purchase accounting adjustments, cost savings and transaction expenses, as provided by the senior management of ACNB. With respect to the foregoing information, the respective senior managements of the Company and ACNB confirmed to us that such information reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of those respective senior managements as to the future financial performance of the Company and ACNB, respectively, and the other matters covered thereby, and we assumed that the future financial performance reflected in such information would be achieved. We express no opinion as to such information, or the assumptions on which such information is based. We have also assumed that there has been no material change in the respective assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of the Company or ACNB since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to us. We have assumed in all respects material to our analysis that the Company and ACNB will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to our analysis.

        We have also assumed, with your consent, that (i) each of the parties to the Agreement will comply in all material respects with all material terms and conditions of the Agreement and all related agreements, that all of the representations and warranties contained in such agreements are true and correct in all material respects, that each of the parties to such agreements will perform in all material respects all of the covenants and other obligations required to be performed by such party under such agreements and that the conditions precedent in such agreements are not and will not be waived, (ii) in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases with respect to the Merger, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on the Company, ACNB or the Merger or any related transaction, (iii) the Merger and any related transactions will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement without any waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof and in compliance with all applicable laws and other requirements, and (iv) the Merger will qualify as a

tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Finally, with your consent, we have relied upon the advice that the Company has received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement. We express no opinion as to any such matters.

        Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect this opinion. We have not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw this opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date hereof. We express no opinion as to the trading values of Company Common Stock or ACNB Common Stock at any time or what the value of ACNB Common Stock will be once it is actually received by the holders of Company Common Stock.

        We have acted as the Company's financial advisor in connection with the Merger and will receive a fee for our services, a substantial portion of which is contingent upon consummation of the Merger. We will also receive a fee for rendering this opinion, which opinion fee will be credited in full towards the portion of the transaction fee which will become payable to Sandler O'Neill on the day of closing of the Merger. The Company has also agreed to indemnify us against certain claims and liabilities arising out of our engagement and to reimburse us for certain of our out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our engagement. In connection with our engagement, we were not asked to, and did not, solicit indications of interest in a potential transaction with the Company from other parties. We have not provided any investment banking services to the Company or ACNB in the two years preceding the date of this opinion. In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may purchase securities from and sell securities to the Company and its affiliates. We may also actively trade the equity and debt securities of ACNB and its affiliates for our own account and for the accounts of our customers.

        Our opinion is directed to the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with its consideration of the Agreement and the Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of the Company as to how any such shareholder should vote at any meeting of shareholders called to consider and vote upon the approval of the Agreement and the Merger or what election to make regarding the Per Share Stock Consideration, the Per Share Cash Consideration or any combination thereof. Our opinion is directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to the holders of Company Common Stock and does not address the allocation of the Merger Consideration between cash and ACNB Common Stock or the relative fairness of the Per Share Stock Consideration and the Per Share Cash Consideration. Our opinion does not address the underlying business decision of the Company to engage in the Merger, the form or structure of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated in the Agreement, the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any other alternative transactions or business strategies that might exist for the Company or the effect of any other transaction in which the Company might engage. We also do not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to be received in the Merger by any officer, director or employee of the Company or ACNB, or any class of such persons, if any, relative to the compensation to be received in the Merger by any other shareholder. This opinion has been approved by Sandler O'Neill's fairness opinion committee. This opinion shall not be reproduced without Sandler O'Neill's prior written consent; provided, however, Sandler O'Neill will provide its consent for the opinion to be included in regulatory filings to be completed in connection with the Merger.

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration is fair to holders of Company Common Stock from a financial point of view.

 

Very truly yours,

 

/s/ Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, referred to as the PBCL, provides that Pennsylvania corporations shall have the power, under specified circumstances, to indemnify any person who is or was a representative of the Corporation in connection with actions, suits or proceedings brought against them by third parties and in connection with actions or suits by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that they were or are such representatives, against expenses (including attorney's fees) and, in the case of actions, suits or proceedings brought by third parties, against judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in any such action, suit or proceedings. Further, the PBCL provides that Pennsylvania corporations must indemnify a representative of the corporation who is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such actions or proceedings against expenses reasonably incurred.

        The Bylaws of the Corporation provide indemnification or reimbursement for reasonable expenses actually incurred by directors or officers. However, indemnification or reimbursement shall be provided only when a director or officer acted in good faith and reasonably believed such actions were in the best interests of the Corporation. Directors and officers are also insured against certain liabilities for their actions, as such, by an insurance policy covering the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Corporation, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, any such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 22.    Undertakings

        (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

II-4


Table of Contents

        (b)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of those securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (c)(1)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public re-offering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such re-offering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to re-offerings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

        (d)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the bylaws of the registrant, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        (e)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

        (f)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
