CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K

ITEM 8.01OTHER EVENTS

On April 17, 2020, Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (“Mid Penn” or the “Corporation”) (NASDAQ: MPB), the parent company of Mid Penn Bank, reported that, as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, it had received Paycheck Projection Plan (“PPP”) loan funding approval through the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) for 2,184 business customers totaling $470 million, of which $420 million had already been disbursed to 1,600 business customers through the date of this filing.  The remainder of the funding will be disbursed in the near future pending the completion of the related loan documents.  The companies that Mid Penn served through these loans employ over 50,000 people, and the protection of the paycheck of those employees was the primary objective of the program.  Mid Penn utilized its expertise as both a preferred-provider of SBA lending, and its highly experienced team of commercial lenders and community-based business development officers, to connect with numerous small businesses throughout its market area and provide such businesses with the assistance to apply for and obtain the PPP loans which are to be used primarily for employment-sustaining payroll costs and benefits, as well as other significant costs including the small businesses’ rent, mortgage, and utilities.

The PPP loans, which are 100 percent guaranteed by the SBA, have up to a two-year term to maturity and carry a low interest rate of 1 percent throughout the loan term.  The SBA may forgive the PPP loans if at least 75 percent of the proceeds are used for payroll costs.  Also, the borrowers will not have to make any payments for six months following the date of disbursement of the loan, though interest will continue to accrue during the deferment period.   The SBA also provided Mid Penn Bank and other financial institutions who participated in the PPP with a processing fee on each loan, with the amount of such fee pre-determined by the SBA dependent upon the size of each credit.  Based upon the varying sizes of and the total volume of PPP loans originated through Mid Penn Bank, the Corporation expects to realize between $13 and $15 million of processing fees.
