Item 5.02(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On February 13, 2017 Middlefield Banc Corp. made conditional stock awards to three executive officers, including President and CEO Thomas G. Caldwell (345 shares), Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer James R. Heslop, II (266 shares), and Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Donald L. Stacy (212 shares). The award amount is a percentage of the award recipient’s salary, divided by the share price at the close of market on February 13, 2017. The closing price of the shares on February 13, 2017 was $40.55. The percentage of salary for purposes of calculating the award to Messrs. Caldwell, Heslop, and Stacy is 5%.

The award recipient will not become the owner of and entitled to the shares unless a service condition is satisfied. The conditional share awards do not confer on the recipient any shareholder rights, including the right to vote or the right to cash dividends, until the conditions are satisfied or waived.

The award recipient must maintain service with Middlefield Banc Corp. and affiliates until sixty (60) days following the effective date of the award to satisfy the service condition, but the service condition is waived if the recipient dies or becomes disabled before that date or if a change in control of Middlefield Banc Corp. occurs before that date.

This summary of the agreement’s terms is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the form of conditional stock award agreement attached as an exhibit.
