Summary of Certain Compensation for
Directors of Park National Corporation

Annual Retainers and Meeting Fees
Annual Retainers Payable in Common Shares
From 2004 to 2012, each director of Park National Corporation (“Park”) who was not an employee of Park or one of Park’s subsidiaries (a “non-employee director”) received, on the date of the regular meeting of the Park Board of Directors held during the fourth fiscal quarter, an annual retainer in the form of common shares awarded under the Park National Corporation Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Park National Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Directors’ Stock Plan”). After the Park National Corporation 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 LTIP”) was approved by Park’s shareholders on April 22, 2013, the Directors’ Stock Plan was terminated and the annual retainer in the form of Park common shares is to be awarded under the 2013 LTIP. The number of common shares awarded as the annual retainer for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 fiscal year”) was 200 common shares. These common shares were delivered on the date of the regular meeting of the Park Board of Directors held during the fourth quarter of the 2013 fiscal year.
Each non-employee director of Park also serves on the board of directors of either The Park National Bank (“Park National Bank”) or one of the divisions of Park National Bank, and from 2004 to 2012, received, on the date of the regular meeting of the Park Board of Directors held during the fourth fiscal quarter, an annual retainer in the form of 60 common shares of Park awarded under the Directors’ Stock Plan. After the 2013 LTIP was approved by Park’s shareholders on April 22, 2013, the full Board of Directors of Park determined that the number of Park common shares to be awarded in the form of annual retainers for the 2013 fiscal year was to be: (a) 150 common shares for members of the board of directors of Park National Bank; and (b) 100 common shares for members of the board of directors of a division of Park National Bank. These common shares were delivered on the date of the regular meeting of the Park Board of Directors held during the fourth quarter of the 2013 fiscal year.
