The PBRSUs convert into Park common shares on a one-for-one basis. The PBRSUs earned based on the performance level achieved are also subject to service-based vesting with 50% vesting (resulting in the right to receive the 1,372.22 common shares shown on the first line in Table I) on the Certification Date and the other 50% to vest on the first anniversary of the Certification Date (shown in Table II as a derivative security).
(2)	Includes 924.825 common shares previously owned directly by the reporting person which were transferred on April 4, 2017 to the David L. Trautman Managing Agency Account.
(3)	Between January 1 and March 31, 2017, the reporting person acquired 367.092 common shares under the Park National Corporation Employees Stock Ownership Plan (the "KSOP"). The information in this report is based on a plan statement dated as of March 31, 2017.
(4)	These PBRSUs were earned based on the performance level achieved as described in footnote 1 and are also subject to service-based vesting pursuant to which they are to vest on the first anniversary of the Certification Date. Each PBRSU represents the right to receive one Park common share upon satisfaction of the service-based vesting requirement.
