     On October 28, 2008, Park National Corporation (“Park”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the Executive Committee of Park’s Board of Directors had determined it was in the best interest of Park and its shareholders to call a Special Meeting of Shareholders for the purpose of considering and voting on the adoption of a proposed amendment to Article FOURTH of Park’s Articles of Incorporation to authorize Park to issue preferred shares, which would permit Park to participate in the Capital Purchase Program established by the United States Department of the Treasury under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. The Executive Committee set the record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting at the close of business on November 6, 2008. The date of the Special Meeting was originally set as December 5, 2008. Pursuant to authority granted by Park’s Board of Directors on November 5, 2008 to change the date of the Special Meeting as appropriate under the circumstances, on November 20, 2008, the date of the Special Meeting was set as December 18, 2008. The record date has not been changed.
