VOTING PROCEDURES

Solicitation and Voting of Proxies

        The Board of Directors solicits this proxy for use at the Corporation's 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Corporation's directors and officers and bank employees may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, facsimile, email or other similar electronic means without additional compensation. The Corporation's subsidiary bank will pay the cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and soliciting proxies and any additional material that the Corporation sends to its shareholders. The Corporation will make arrangements with brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of stock held by these entities. The Corporation's subsidiary bank will reimburse these third parties for their

reasonable forwarding expenses. This proxy statement and the related proxy card are being distributed on or about March 25, 2009.

        Shareholders of record at the close of business on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 (the voting record date), are entitled to vote at the meeting. The Corporation's records show that, as of the voting record date, 5,955,943 shares of the Corporation's common stock, par value $2.50 per share, were outstanding. On all matters to come before the annual meeting, shareholders may cast one (1) vote for each share held. Cumulative voting rights do not exist with respect to the election of directors.

        You can vote your shares by completing and returning a written proxy card. You can also vote in person at the meeting. Submitting your voting instructions by returning a proxy card will not affect your right to attend the meeting and vote, if you later decide to attend in person. If your shares are registered directly in your name with ACNB Corporation's transfer agent, Registrar and Transfer Company, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record, and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by the Corporation. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the proxyholders or to vote in person at the meeting. The Corporation has enclosed a proxy card for your use.

        If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee which is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker how to vote and you are also invited to attend the meeting. However, because you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your street name shares in person at the meeting, unless you obtain a proxy executed in your favor from the holder of record. Your broker or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker or nominee how to vote your shares.

        By properly completing a proxy, you appoint Wayne E. Lau and Robert W. Miller as proxyholders to vote your shares, as indicated on the proxy card. Any signed proxy card not specifying to the contrary will be voted FOR:

•

Fixing the number of Directors of ACNB Corporation at thirteen (13);



•

Fixing the number of Class 1 Directors at five (5);



•

Fixing the number of Class 2 Directors at four (4);



•

Fixing the number of Class 3 Directors at four (4);



•

Electing four (4) Class 2 Directors to serve for terms of three (3) years and until their successors are elected and qualified;



•

Approving and adopting the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of ACNB Corporation to authorize preferred stock;



•

Approving and ratifying the ACNB Corporation 2009 Restricted Stock Plan;



•

Ratifying the selection of Beard Miller Company, LLP as ACNB Corporation's independent auditors; and,



•

Transacting such other business as may properly come before the 2009 Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

        You may revoke your written proxy by delivering written notice of revocation to Lynda L. Glass, Executive Vice President & Secretary of ACNB Corporation, or by executing a later dated proxy and giving written notice of the revocation to Ms. Glass at any time before the proxy is voted at the meeting. Proxyholders will vote shares represented by proxies on the accompanying proxy card, if properly signed and returned, in accordance with instructions of shareholders.

Table of Contents

        Although the Board of Directors knows of no other business to be presented, in the event that any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors.

        This proxy statement is being mailed to the Corporation's shareholders on or about March 25, 2009.

Quorum and Vote Required for Approval

        As of the close of business on March 10, 2009, the Corporation had 5,955,943 shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, outstanding.

        A majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the conduct of business. Under Pennsylvania law and ACNB Corporation's Bylaws, the presence of a quorum is required for each matter to be acted upon at the meeting. Votes withheld and abstentions are counted in determining the presence of a quorum for a particular matter. Broker non-votes are not counted in determining the presence of a quorum for a particular matter as to which the broker withheld authority. Each share is entitled to one (1) vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. All matters to be voted upon by the shareholders require the affirmative vote of a majority of shares voted, in person or by proxy, at the annual meeting, except in cases where the vote of a greater number of shares is required by law or under ACNB Corporation's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. In the case of the election of directors, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes are elected. Shareholders are not entitled to cumulate votes for the election of directors.

        If a quorum is present, approval to fix the number of directors of the Board of Directors and to fix the number of directors in each class requires the affirmative "FOR" vote of a majority of all shares present, in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not deemed to constitute "votes cast" and, therefore, do not count either for or against the proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes, however, have the practical effect of reducing the number of affirmative votes required to achieve a majority for the matter by reducing the total number of shares voted from which the required majority is calculated.

        If a quorum is present, the shareholders will elect the nominees for director receiving the highest number of "FOR" votes cast by those shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors. The proxyholders will not cast votes for or against any director nominees where the broker withheld authority.

        If a quorum is present, approval and adoption of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to authorize preferred stock and approval and ratification of the ACNB Corporation 2009 Restricted Stock Plan both require the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting.

GOVERNANCE OF THE CORPORATION

        Our Board of Directors believes that the purpose of corporate governance is to ensure that we maximize shareholder value in a manner consistent with legal requirements and the highest standards of integrity. The Board has adopted and adheres to corporate governance practices which the Board and senior management believe promote this purpose, are sound, and represent best practices. We continually review these governance practices, Pennsylvania law (the state in which we are incorporated), rules and listing standards of the OTC Bulletin Board, SEC regulations, as well as best practices suggested by recognized governance authorities. Currently, our Board of Directors has thirteen (13) members. Under the SEC and Nasdaq standards for independence, all non-employee directors and nominees meet the standards for independence. This constitutes more than a majority of

3

Table of Contents

our Board of Directors. Only independent directors serve on our Audit Committee, Nominating Committee, and Compensation Committee.

        In determining each director's and nominee's independence, the Board of Directors considered loan transactions between the bank and the individuals, their family members, and businesses with which they are associated. The table below includes a description of other categories or types of transactions, relationships or arrangements considered by the Board (in addition to those listed above and those transactions set forth under "Transactions with Directors and Executive Officers" below) in reaching its determination that the directors are independent.

        In each case, the Board of Directors determined that none of the transactions impaired the independence of the director.

Directors of ACNB Corporation

        The following table sets forth, as of March 10, 2009, selected information about the Corporation's Named Executive Officers, each of whom is appointed by the Board of Directors and each of whom holds office at the Board's discretion.

        Prior to the Corporation's acquisition of Russell Insurance Group, Inc. in 2005, Mr. Russell served as the President of Russell Insurance Group, Inc. since its founding in 1978.

Prior to that, Mr. Cathell was Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of Pennsylvania State Bank in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, from 1999 through 2004.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

        The Board of Directors of ACNB Corporation met twelve (12) times during 2008. The Corporation maintains an Audit Committee, Executive Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating Committee. A total of forty-three (43) Board and committee meetings of the Corporation's Board of Directors were held in 2008. During 2008, each of the directors attended at least 75% of the combined total number of meetings of the Corporation's Board of Directors and the committees of which he or she was a member. While the Board of Directors has no formal policy concerning attendance at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, all directors are expected to attend. All of the directors attended the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and we expect that they will all attend the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The charter of the Nominating Committee is attached to the 2007 Proxy Statement as Appendix C. The Nominating Committee met four (4) times during 2008.

Shareholder Communications

        The Board of Directors has formal shareholder communications processes for the submission of shareholder proposals and nomination of directors, as described below.

Written communications received by the Corporation from shareholders are shared with the full Board as deemed appropriate.

Submission of Shareholder Proposals

        In order for a shareholder proposal (other than director nominations) to be considered for inclusion in ACNB Corporation's proxy statement for next year's annual meeting, the written proposal must be received by the Corporation no later than November 27, 2009.

        All proposals must comply with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. If a shareholder proposal is submitted to the Corporation after November 27, 2009, it is considered untimely; and, although the proposal may be considered at the annual meeting, the Corporation is not obligated to include it in the 2010 Proxy Statement.

Employee Code of Ethics

        Since May 1994, Adams County National Bank has had a Conflict of Interest/Code of Ethics. In 2003, as required by law and regulation, the Corporation's Board of Directors first adopted a Code of Ethics which is applicable to our directors, officers and employees.

        The Code of Ethics encourages individuals to report any conduct that they believe in good faith to be an actual or apparent violation of the Code of Ethics. We have filed a copy of the Code of Ethics with the SEC as an exhibit to the Form 8-K filed by the Corporation on March 20, 2009.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Nomination of Directors

        The Corporation has a standing Nominating Committee with a charter. The Nominating Committee Charter is attached as Appendix C to the 2007 Proxy Statement. Recommendations to the Board of Directors as to the nominees for election as directors at the annual meeting of the shareholders are provided by the Nominating Committee. A shareholder who desires to propose an individual for consideration by the Board of Directors as a nominee for director should submit a recommendation in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation in compliance with the requirements of Article II, Sections 202 and 203, of the Corporation's Bylaws. Any shareholder who intends to nominate a candidate for election to the Board of Directors must notify the Secretary of the Corporation in writing not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the date of any shareholder meeting called for the election of directors.

Qualification and Nomination of Directors

        The Corporation's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws authorize the number of directors to be not less than five (5) and not more than twenty-five (25). They also provide for three (3) classes of directors with staggered three-year terms of office that expire at successive annual meetings. Pursuant to Article II, Section 205, of the Corporation's Bylaws, directors who reach the age of seventy-two (72), prior to the date of the annual meeting when such director's term expires, may not stand for reelection to the Board of Directors. Currently, the number of directors is set at thirteen (13): Class 1 consists of five (5) directors, Class 2 consists of four (4) directors, and Class 3 consists of four (4) directors. However, pursuant to Article 11 of the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation and Article I, Section 105, of the Corporation's Bylaws, at each shareholder meeting for the election of directors, the shareholders determine how many directors will be elected to serve in each class. The Board of Directors believes that it is in the Corporation's best interest to fix the number of directors to be elected at the 2009 Annual Meeting at thirteen (13). The proposed thirteen (13) member Board of Directors will consist of five (5) Class 1 Directors, four (4) Class 2 Directors, and four (4) Class 3 Directors. Shareholders will elect four (4) Class 2 Directors to serve for three-year terms that expire at the Corporation's 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

        The Nominating Committee believes that a director nominee must have the following attributes/qualifications before being recommended as a nominee: stock ownership in the Corporation, commitment of time, commitment to independence, commitment to the Corporation's community, financial competence, a good reputation, integrity, good communication skills, and the willingness and ability to speak up for the interests of the Corporation. A director nominee shall also have expertise that strengthens the Board of Directors. When evaluating director nominees, the Nominating Committee considers the skills and expertise of the current board members and seeks director nominees with knowledge, skills and abilities that enhance and complement—rather than duplicate—the experiences and skills already represented on the Board of Directors. Further, the Nominating Committee ensures director nominees complement the Corporation's strategic vision, a fundamental priority for the Board of Directors.

Benefits are payable upon termination of service, change of control, and by specific participant election in accordance with IRS Code Section 409A. The deferred fees earn interest, and the interest and plan expenses are funded by bank-owned life insurance (BOLI).

Director Life Insurance Plan

        Effective January 1, 2001, the bank established a director life insurance plan. All non-employee directors are eligible for the life insurance benefit, subject to medical underwriting acceptance. The plan currently insures eleven (11) directors. The director life insurance benefit of $100,000 per participating director will be provided through a single premium BOLI program because BOLI is a more cost-efficient way of providing the benefits. The eligible participating directors are not required to pay any premiums on the life insurance policy, but have the imputed value of the insurance coverage included in their taxable incomes.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Policy

        The primary objectives of the Compensation Committee are to attract, motivate, reward and retain executives who

•

maintain the safety and soundness of the Company,

13

---

Table of Contents

•

sustain and enhance long-term investor value,



•

enforce internal controls deemed appropriate by our auditors and regulators, and



•

execute the strategic plans as prioritized by the Board of Directors.

        The Compensation Committee places considerable value on these factors, as well as the assessment by the Compensation Committee of the executive's ability to execute the strategic plan of the Company.

        The Compensation Committee seeks to establish fair compensation policies in order to attract and motivate competent managers whose efforts will enhance the Company's profitability and growth. The Compensation Committee treats compensation as an evolving process depending on the strategic objectives of the Company, as determined by the Board of Directors at that time.

The Role of the Executive Officers in Setting Compensation

        The Compensation Committee sets the compensation for the Chairman of the Board, the President & Chief Executive Officer, and the Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer of Adams County National Bank. The Compensation Committee has in the past delegated to the President & Chief Executive Officer the responsibility of reviewing and setting the compensation level for the Executive Vice President, Cashier & Chief Financial Officer of Adams County National Bank. Beginning with the setting of compensation for 2010, the Compensation Committee will perform this responsibility for both Executive Vice Presidents who also serve as officers of ACNB Corporation. The Board of Directors of Russell Insurance Group, Inc., a subsidiary, sets the compensation for the President & Chief Executive Officer of Russell Insurance Group, Inc.

        The President & Chief Executive Officer proposes increases in compensation for the Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer based upon his subjective analysis of her contribution to the Company's strategic goals and objectives. In determining whether strategic goals have been achieved, the President & Chief Executive Officer considers numerous factors, such as the Company's performance and nonquantitative measures such as her leadership abilities and overall work performance. The President & Chief Executive Officer does not set specific numeric performance targets, but looks at these items holistically in determining the amount of any merit increase in base salary. Although the President & Chief Executive Officer makes a recommendation, the Compensation Committee makes the final compensation decision.

        After consultation with the President & Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors of Russell Insurance Group, Inc. sets the compensation for the President & Chief Executive Officer of Russell Insurance Group, Inc. The amount and forms of compensation awarded the President & Chief Executive Officer of Russell Insurance Group, Inc. are based upon contract negotiations, the past performance of Russell Insurance Group, Inc., and the role that the President & Chief Executive Officer of Russell Insurance Group, Inc. performs in the highly relationship-oriented industry of insurance sales.

        The President & Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board do not set or participate in the determination process of their respective annual base salaries, and are not present when their respective compensation is discussed by the Compensation Committee or discussed and approved by the Board of Directors.

The Role of a Consultant in Setting Compensation

        For compensation awarded in the year 2008, the Compensation Committee did not use a consultant in determining or recommending specific awards of compensation; however, the

14

Table of Contents

Compensation Committee reviewed information from various sources, as explained below, as background material as to the current trends in executive compensation.

        The Company participates in an annual survey and receives the results of the survey from L. R. Webber Associates, Inc., a compensation consultant. The human resources manager of the Company's bank subsidiary interacts with the compensation consultant and forwards the results of the survey to the Compensation Committee for review. The survey includes general compensation information and salary ranges for executives of financial institutions throughout Pennsylvania. The survey is not used to benchmark any executive compensation to any specific financial institution or group of financial institutions, but is only used as an educational source as to the current trends in compensation at Pennsylvania financial institutions.

        The Compensation Committee also reviews a summary of information retrieved from proxy material of other financial institutions in an effort to become more versed in the form of compensation awarded to executives at financial institutions and reviews educational material regarding executive compensation provided at various seminars or conferences attended by Compensation Committee members throughout the year.

Benchmarking

        The Company does not benchmark its compensation policies against any specific financial institution or group of financial institutions. The Company does review public information and other compensation information, such as information provided at compensation conferences, in an effort to educate itself regarding appropriate forms and methods of determining compensation.

Components of Compensation

        While the specific amount of compensation provided to our executives may differ, the components of compensation are generally the same for our Named Executive Officers. The Company's executive compensation and benefits package consists primarily of base salary, retirement plans, and employee health and welfare benefit plans.

Base Salary

        The Compensation Committee believes that base salary should be the primary component of compensation. Fixed compensation provides the executive with the security of knowing that the majority of his or her compensation is not tied to market fluctuations. The amount of base salary is designed to attract and retain Named Executive Officers who can further the strategic objectives of the Company. In determining base salary, the Compensation Committee does not take into consideration any other forms of compensation which are and which may not be offered to the Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee believes that by providing compensation without delay in the form of base salaries, it will successfully further the Company's goals.

        Base salaries for our Named Executive Officers are established based upon their responsibilities, longevity with the Company, and key Company performance measures including profitability and growth. The Compensation Committee does not assign specific quantitative measures to profitability and growth or performance targets, but uses its business judgment to determine if the Company's profitability and growth were sufficient given the particular circumstances of the past year. Named Executive Officers are expected to assist the Company in sustaining and enhancing long-term investor value by maintaining the safety and soundness of the Company, enforcing internal controls deemed appropriate by our auditors and regulators, and executing the strategic plans as prioritized by the Board of Directors. A Named Executive Officer's capacity to perform these tasks and achievement of these tasks are taken into consideration in determining whether the Named Executive Officer has performed as expected or has had outstanding performance.

Bonus Awards

        The Company does not have a formalized bonus plan for all Named Executive Officers. The President & Chief Executive Officer of Russell Insurance Group, Inc. is the only Named Executive Officer who has a formulized bonus structure which is included in his employment agreement. Given that his position includes marketing and sales, the Board of Directors of Russell Insurance Group, Inc. believed that offering him a formulized bonus will increase the profitability of the subsidiary, and therefore the Company, because it incents him to ensure that Russell Insurance Group, Inc. exceeds $1 million in pre-tax profits in a calendar year. Under the bonus structure, he will receive a bonus of five percent (5%) of the pre-tax income (based on historical agency accounting system) earned by Russell Insurance Group, Inc. during the preceding calendar year, provided that actual pre-tax profits for that year exceed $1 million.

        The Company may authorize discretionary bonus awards for the purpose of rewarding exceptional effort and performance. The Company has not set forth specific criteria for awarding bonuses, but treats each year's performance on a case-by-case basis and uses its experience and business judgment when determining whether a bonus is appropriate.

        The Company provides a holiday bonus annually to employees of the bank subsidiary. Generally, and for the year 2008, the bonus was one percent (1%) of the employee's regular earnings. This discretionary bonus is intended to reward employees for their service throughout the year. As the discretionary bonus is awarded to all eligible employees, the amount of the bonus is not taken into account when determining executive compensation.

Retirement Plans

        The Compensation Committee believes that retirement benefits are another important way to provide long-term financial security to employees, thus encouraging longevity and a low employee turnover rate. As the defined benefit plan and 401(k) plan are tax qualified retirement plans, the Company's retirement plans are not tied to Company or individual performance.

Defined Benefit Plan

        The Company's subsidiary, Adams County National Bank, maintains a defined benefit plan which is available to all eligible employees. The plan provides a prospective benefit commencing at age sixty-five (65) for the employee's lifetime. If an employee has completed thirty (30) or more years of service, the employee is eligible to retire at age sixty-two (62) and receive full benefits. The plan contains a five (5) year vesting provision to ensure that the plan rewards employees for longevity. The amount paid under the plan is based upon a formula, prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code, outlined in the plan and which is applicable to all Adams County National Bank employees. The defined benefit plan is a very effective tool for employee retention and for providing long-term incentive compensation. All Named Executive Officers, with the exception of the President & Chief Executive Officer of Russell Insurance Group, Inc., are employees of Adams County National Bank and are eligible to participate in the plan.

401(k) Plan

        Both Adams County National Bank and Russell Insurance Group, Inc. maintain a 401(k) plan which allows employees to save their own money for retirement, to earn a matching contribution from the Company, and to direct the investment of all funds in the 401(k) plan. The percentage of match contributed to the Named Executive Officer's account is the same as contributed to all other eligible employees in each plan and is prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code. These plans are viewed as a necessity to successfully hire and retain employees in a competitive marketplace. All Named Executive Officers participate in Adams County National Bank's 401(k) plan, except the President & Chief

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

        The Company provides a supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) to certain executives, including the Chairman of the Board, the President & Chief Executive Officer, and the Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer. The SERPs are designed to account for some of the limitations with traditional pension plans, and are intended to provide essential executive officers with an incentive to remain with the Company until retirement as opposed to terminating employment before retirement to work for a competitor.

        The rationale behind implementing SERPs is to encourage the executive to remain with the Company until retirement. The triggering events for payment under the SERP agreements are reaching retirement age as determined in the SERP agreement, death, a termination after a change in control, or early retirement. Benefit amounts for early retirement will be determined by the individual's number of years of service encouraging longevity with the Company. The SERP provides no current remuneration to the applicable Named Executive Officers and, therefore, is not taken into consideration when determining base salary.

Health and Welfare Plans

        Health and welfare plans are not tied to Company or individual performance. The costs of providing such benefits to all eligible employees are not taken into account when determining specific salaries of the Named Executive Officers and are seen as a cost of doing business.

Insurance Plans

        Group life insurance, group disability, vision benefits, and health insurance are available to all eligible employees. Such plans are standard in the industry and in the geographic area for all industries, as well as necessary to compete for talented employees at all levels of the Company.

Executive Supplemental Life Insurance

        The Company's executive supplemental life insurance plan provides a split-dollar share of death benefits to the Named Executive Officer's beneficiary, depending upon the Named Executive Officer's eligibility to receive payments. The plan is funded with bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) and is used to provide an additional benefit to certain executives, including the Named Executive Officers, with a minimal cost to the Company. Split-dollar life insurance plans are widely available in the banking industry, because the Company will recover its plan costs upon the death of the Named Executive Officer and the Named Executive Officer's beneficiary will receive a split of the insurance proceeds. Although this benefit does not provide any current remuneration to the Named Executive Officer, it provides further incentive for longevity with the Company as it provides the executive the ability to provide some benefit to his or her family after his or her death. As the Company will recover its plan costs, the cost of the plan is not taken into consideration when determining base salary.

Executive Long-Term Care Insurance

        The Company provides executive long-term care insurance to certain executives, including the Named Executive Officers. The cost of providing this benefit is offset by interest earned on bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) on the life of the Named Executive Officer. Long-term care insurance is seen as an additional benefit used to attract and retain competent executives at minimal

cost; therefore, the cost of the plan is not taken into consideration when determining base salary or other benefits.

Perquisites

        The Company provides either a company-owned or company-leased vehicle to the President & Chief Executive Officer of the Company and to the President & Chief Executive Officer of Russell Insurance Group, Inc. The provision of a Company vehicle to these individuals is a traditional and expected benefit in the financial services industry.

Equity Compensation

        The Company does not currently maintain any programs of equity compensation; however, it reviews and discusses current trends in equity compensation. As a result, the Board of Directors is currently requesting shareholder approval and ratification of a restricted stock plan in order to align the interests of directors and executive officers with those of the shareholders. The price volatility inherent in any form of performance based equity compensation is the main reason why other forms of compensation have been relied upon in the past. Going forward, the Company believes that the major component of compensation should be base salary accompanied by enhanced retirement, insurance, and equity compensation plans.

        The Company has not instituted an equity ownership requirement for its Named Executive Officers.

Employment Agreements

        The Company and one of its subsidiaries have entered into employment agreements with the President & Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer of Adams County National Bank, as well as the President & Chief Executive Officer of Russell Insurance Group, Inc.

Triggering Events

        The employment agreements with the President & Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer are similar and any difference is in payment amounts which are adjusted given their respective role in the Company and the current trends in the financial services industry. In determining the triggering events in these agreements, the Company used triggering events which are traditional and prevalent in the industry. The contracts are designed to compensate the Named Executive Officer if the Named Executive Officer is terminated without cause, is terminated after a change in control, or terminates employment for good reason. As the agreements are three (3) years in duration and as the executive has agreed to noncompetition provisions in the agreement, the Company believes that it is only appropriate that if the executive is terminated without cause or if the Company imposes a condition of employment upon the executive which would be considered a good reason for the executive to terminate employment under the agreement (in effect, if the Company breaches the agreement), then the executive should be paid the predetermined amount as damages as a result of the Company violating the employment agreement. Alternatively, if the Company undergoes a change in control and as a result the executive's employment is terminated by either the executive or the successor company, the Company believes that it is in the best interests of the shareholders to provide the executive with security in order to ensure that decisions regarding potential changes in control are made in the best interests of the shareholders and that personal concerns regarding subsequent employment are minimized. The contracts give the Named Executive Officer the security of knowing that if he or she is terminated in one of those scenarios that he or she will receive some form of compensation during the transition phase from working for the Company to finding another

18

Table of Contents

position. In addition, the contracts contain a noncompetition provision, whereby the Named Executive Officer is not allowed to compete with the Company or solicit customers or employees of the Company for a specific period of time. The time period in which the Named Executive Officer receives compensation is related to the time period that the noncompetition provision is in effect.

        The three (3) year contract for the President & Chief Executive Officer of Russell Insurance Group, Inc. contains a payment trigger if his employment agreement is terminated without cause or he terminates employment for good reason. Therefore, if he terminates employment without good reason, he will not receive any payment. If there is a change in control, he will only receive a payment if a subsequent termination of employment meets the definition of a termination without cause or a voluntary termination for good reason.

Vesting

        Given the number of years which the respective Named Executive Officers have worked for the Company or a subsidiary, the Compensation Committee did not feel that it was necessary to attach any additional vesting requirements upon the Named Executive Officers' employment agreements. In addition, the most recent agreements for the President & Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer of Adams County National Bank and the President & Chief Executive Officer of Russell Insurance Group, Inc. replaced previous agreements which did not contain vesting requirements.

Accounting and Tax Treatments

        In the case that one of the events which trigger a payment under the Adams County National Bank employment agreements occurs and a payment is made, if the payment is subject to the Internal Revenue Code 280G penalty, then the Named Executive Officer will receive compensation in a gross-up amount whereby the Named Executive Officer will receive an amount necessary such that, after taxes, the Named Executive Officer will receive what he or she is entitled to under the agreement. The gross-up provision is common in employment agreements given to Named Executive Officers at Pennsylvania community banks and is intended to make the Named Executive Officer whole again. The gross-up amount is not taken into consideration when determining annual base salary or other annual compensation awards, but was taken into account when determining the amount of each triggering event in the respective contract.

Material Differences in Compensation Awarded to Each Named Executive Officer

        The Named Executive Officers receive base salaries commensurate with their positions and responsibilities and with the Named Executive Officer's past performance as determined by the Compensation Committee using their business judgment. The amount of net income generated by Russell Insurance Group, Inc. is also taken into consideration when determining the President & Chief Executive Officer of Russell Insurance Group, Inc.'s base salary and bonus which is based upon a formula included in his employment agreement.

        All Named Executive Officers receive a base salary, access to a 401(k) plan, and health and welfare plans. All Named Executive Officers, with the exception of the President & Chief Executive Officer of Russell Insurance Group, Inc., receive the discretionary bonus given to eligible employees and eligibility to participate in the pension plan. The Chairman of the Board, the President & Chief Executive Officer, and the Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer are the only Named Executive Officers who currently have a supplemental executive retirement plan, and considering their positions the Compensation Committee believes that this is appropriate.

Management Supplemental Life Insurance Plan

        In January 2001, Adams County National Bank implemented a supplemental life insurance plan for certain officers of the bank to provide death benefits for each officer's designated beneficiaries. Beneficiaries designated by an officer are entitled to a split dollar share of the death proceeds from the life insurance policies on each officer which vary depending on the officer's age at death, employment status with the bank at the time of death, and eligibility to receive payments. The plan is unsecured and unfunded, and there are no plan assets. The bank has purchased single premium bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) policies on the lives of the officers and intends to use income from the BOLI policies to offset the plan benefit expenses.

401(k) Retirement Plan

        Adams County National Bank maintains a defined contribution profit-sharing 401(k) plan. Adams County National Bank is the plan sponsor and plan administrator. The plan is subject to certain laws and regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, and participants are entitled to certain rights and protection under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

        An employee is eligible to participate in the plan after working for six (6) months and attaining the age of twenty (20) years and six (6) months. An eligible employee is automatically enrolled in the 401(k) plan, and the bank will automatically withhold 4% of the employee's wages unless otherwise directed. Adams County National Bank matches a percentage of the employee's contribution. In 2008, Adams County National Bank's contribution equaled 100% of the employee's contribution up to a maximum of 4% of earned compensation. Effective January 1, 2000, Adams County National Bank adopted a "safe harbor" provision for its 401(k) plan, which vests eligible contributions immediately upon entering the plan for both employer and employee contributions.

Group Term Life Insurance Plan

        Adams County National Bank maintains a group term life insurance plan. All full-time bank employees are eligible to participate in the plan. The insurance benefit for employees is calculated as two (2) times salary, with a maximum of $100,000.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

        The employees of Adams County National Bank are covered under the bank's Group Pension Plan for Employees. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The plan was restated November 1, 1998, effective January 1, 1999, and subsequently amended effective November 1, 2000. Adams County National Bank is the plan administrator.

        Amounts are set aside each year to fund the plan on the basis of actuarial calculations. The amount of contribution to a defined pension plan on behalf of a specific employee cannot be separately or individually calculated. The total pension expense in 2008 for Adams County National Bank's plan was $88,000. The contribution to the plan made by the bank on behalf of all employees in 2008 was $1,250,000. This contribution was sufficient to meet the legal minimum funding requirements.

        Each eligible employee of Adams County National Bank who attains the age of twenty (20) years and six (6) months and who completes one (1) year of service, in which 1,000 hours are worked, is eligible to participate in the plan on the following anniversary of the plan. The plan generally provides for a prospective benefit at the age of sixty-five (65) years for the employee's remaining lifetime with payments certain for five (5) years, calculated as follows: 1% of final average compensation below the applicable Social Security Covered Compensation and 1.3% of such earnings above the covered compensation, the total being multiplied by years of credited service up to a maximum of forty-five

22

Table of Contents

(45) years of credited service. The minimum benefit is the amount an employee accrued as of October 31, 1998. If an employee has completed thirty (30) or more years of vested service, he or she is eligible to retire at age sixty-two (62) with no reduction applied to his or her benefit.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

        Adams County National Bank entered into retirement income agreements with certain executive officers of Adams County National Bank to provide supplemental retirement income benefits to these officers when they reach their normal retirement date. The benefits are payable in 180 equal monthly installments. Benefits are also payable upon change in control or death. Benefit amounts will be determined by the individual's number of years of service and compensation at retirement age. Benefits accrue annually, but may be reduced if termination of service occurs before the normal retirement date. Estimated liability under the agreements is accrued as earned by the employee. Adams County National Bank is the owner and beneficiary of life insurance policies on each officer that, at December 31, 2008, had an aggregate cash value of approximately $3,915,000. Adams County National Bank purchased these policies to fund the retirement income agreements entered into with these individuals. Further information with respect to these agreements is set forth in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in ACNB Corporation's 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Pension Benefits Table

        The following table summarizes the pension benefits which have accumulated and paid to each of the eligible Named Executive Officers during 2008.

Employment Agreements

        On July 3, 2006, the Corporation and bank entered into Employment Agreements (the "Agreements") with Thomas A. Ritter, President & Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and bank, and Lynda L. Glass, Executive Vice President & Secretary of the Corporation and Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer of the bank (together the "Executives"). The Executives will be eligible for bonuses, paid time off, participation in employee benefit plans, and reimbursement of business expenses. Further, Mr. Ritter receives a company vehicle provided by the Corporation.

        The initial terms of the Agreements are three years which automatically extend for an additional one year period on each annual anniversary date of the Agreements, unless notice is given 180 days prior to the anniversary date.

23

---

Table of Contents

        The Agreements automatically terminate if the Executives are terminated for "Cause", as defined in the Agreements, and all rights under the Agreements will terminate with the exception of the arbitration clause. The Agreements automatically terminate if the Executives terminate their employment for "Good Reason", as defined in the Agreements. If the Agreements terminate for "Good Reason", the Executives will receive the greater of (1) the compensation due for the remainder of the Agreements' terms or (2) in the case of Mr. Ritter two times his salary and benefits for two years and in the case of Ms. Glass one times her salary and benefits for one year. The Agreements automatically terminate upon the Executives' disability, as defined in the Agreements, and the Executives will receive employee benefits and 75% of their compensation until (1) they return to work, (2) reach age 65, (3) die, or (4) the employment period under the Agreements ends. The Agreements automatically terminate if the Executives voluntarily terminate the Agreements. If the Executives give notice within 180 days of a "Change in Control", as defined in the Agreements, or the Executives' employment is terminated involuntarily, the Executives are entitled to 2.99 times the Executives' then current compensation "grossed-up" and to continue to receive benefits for two years.

        The Agreements contain restrictive covenants precluding the Executives from engaging in competitive activities in a certain area and provisions preventing the Executives from disclosing proprietary information about the Corporation and bank.

        These Agreements were amended effective December 31, 2008, for compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

        Mr. Ritter and Ms. Glass have entered into employment agreements with the Corporation which govern any payments upon termination or change in control. If on December 31, 2008, Mr. Ritter terminated his employment for "Good Reason", as defined in the employment agreement, he would receive three (3) times his annual salary in twenty-four (24) monthly payments plus benefits for twenty-four (24) months. Ms. Glass would be entitled to receive three (3) times her annual salary in twelve (12) monthly payments, plus benefits for twelve (12) months, if she terminated employment for "Good Reason" on December 31, 2008. If Mr. Ritter or Ms. Glass terminates employment after a "Change in Control", as defined in the respective employment agreements, then he or she will be entitled to a lump sum of 2.99 times his or her respective annual salary plus benefits for two (2) years following termination. If the Corporation terminates the Named Executive Officer's employment without "Cause", then the respective Named Executive Officer will receive thirty-six (36) monthly payments in an amount equal to 2.99 times his or her respective annual salary plus benefits for two (2) years. Payments pursuant to a "Change in Control" or termination without "Cause" or for "Good Reason" will be grossed-up to accommodate for any excess tax imposed on the payments.

        Both employment agreements contain noncompetition, nonsolicitation, and confidentiality provisions. If the Corporation terminates the Named Executive Officer's employment without "Cause" or if the Named Executive Officer terminates employment with "Good Reason" or after a "Change in Control", then the noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions continue for two (2) years after the termination of employment. If the Named Executive Officer's employment is terminated by the Corporation for "Cause" or if the Named Executive Officer terminates employment voluntarily without "Good Reason", then the noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions continue for one (1) year after termination of employment.

        Upon a "Change in Control", Mr. Ritter and Ms. Glass will become vested in the retirement benefits under the supplemental executive retirement plan agreement. If Mr. Ritter or Ms. Glass is terminated without "Cause", as defined in the respective supplemental executive retirement plan agreement, then he or she will be entitled to an early termination benefit in an amount determined based upon the year in which such termination occurs. If Mr. Ritter or Ms. Glass is terminated for

"Cause", then no payments are required to be made to the respective executive. The supplemental executive retirement plan agreement contains a noncompetition provision which restricts the Named Executive Officer's ability to compete and solicit customers.

        Upon any termination of employment, the respective Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive normal retirement benefits equal to an amount determined by an actuarial formula as described in the pension plan.

Transactions with Directors and Executive Officers

        Some of ACNB Corporation's directors and executive officers and the companies with which they are associated were customers of and had banking transactions with ACNB Corporation's subsidiary bank during 2008. All loans and loan commitments made to them and to their companies were made in the ordinary course of bank business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other customers of the bank, and did not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. ACNB Corporation's subsidiary bank anticipates that they will enter into similar transactions in the future.

        The Corporation's subsidiary bank purchased $137,368 worth of office furniture, equipment and supplies from Eicholtz Company. Eicholtz Company is owned by Alan J. Stock, who is a member of the Corporation's Board of Directors.

        The Corporation does not regularly engage in business transactions with directors and executive officers outside of its business of banking. Any other transactions with directors or executive officers are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on a case-by-case basis as the need arises.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

        The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is comprised of directors who meet SEC and Nasdaq standards for independence. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors in April 2000, which was most recently revised in March 2009, and which is attached to this 2009 Proxy Statement as Appendix A.

        The Audit Committee met with management periodically during the year to consider the adequacy of the Corporation's internal controls and the objectivity of its financial reporting. The Audit Committee discussed these matters with the Corporation's independent auditors and with appropriate Corporation financial personnel and internal auditors. The Audit Committee also discussed with the Corporation's management and independent auditors the process used for certifications by the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which are required for certain of the Corporation's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        The Audit Committee also met privately at its regular meetings with both the independent auditors and the internal auditors, each of whom has unrestricted access to the Audit Committee.

        The Audit Committee appointed Beard Miller Company, LLP as the independent auditors for the Corporation after reviewing the firm's performance and independence from management.

        Management has primary responsibility for the Corporation's financial statements and the overall reporting process, including the Corporation's system of internal controls.

        The independent auditors audited the annual financial statements prepared by management, expressed an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Corporation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and discussed with the Audit Committee any issues they believe should be raised with the Audit Committee.

        The Audit Committee reviewed with management and Beard Miller Company, LLP, the Corporation's independent auditors, the Corporation's audited financial statements, as well as reviewed those financial statements and reports prior to issuance. Management has represented, and Beard Miller Company, LLP has confirmed, to the Audit Committee that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

        The Audit Committee received from and discussed with Beard Miller Company, LLP the written disclosure and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. These items relate to that firm's independence from the Corporation. The Audit Committee also discussed with Beard Miller Company, LLP matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. The Audit Committee implemented a procedure to monitor auditor independence, reviewed audit and non-audit services performed by Beard Miller Company, LLP, and discussed with the auditors their independence.

        The Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements and, based upon the review and discussions above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which is then filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        At present, the Corporation has two individuals designated as "audit committee financial experts". The Board of Directors has determined that Daniel W. Potts and Robert W. Miller are qualified to serve as the Corporation's audit committee financial experts and are independent as defined under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules.

        This report is furnished by the Audit Committee.

AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

        The Corporation is seeking to amend the Article 4 of its Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $2.50 per share. On February 24, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved and adopted a resolution to amend the Articles of Incorporation authorizing the issuance of preferred stock and a resolution to submit the amendment to the shareholders of the Corporation to approve and adopt the amendment with the recommendation of the Board of Directors. If shareholders approve and adopt this amendment, the Corporation will file with the Pennsylvania Department of State Articles of Amendment, to be effective upon filing, amending its Articles of Incorporation to authorize preferred stock consisting of up to 20,000,000 shares, $2.50 par value per share. The full text of the proposed amendment is attached as Appendix B, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this section of the 2009 Proxy Statement.

Purpose of Preferred Stock

        The Board of Directors believes that the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is advisable and in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders for several reasons. First, the authorization of preferred stock will supplement our authorized common stock by creating an undesignated class of preferred stock to increase our flexibility in structuring future capital-raising transactions, acquisitions, joint ventures, and strategic alliances. Also, preferred stock may be useful in connection with stock dividends or equity compensation plans. Furthermore, having the authority to issue preferred stock will enable us to issue equity securities with terms tailored to specific purposes and to avoid the possible delay and expense associated with calling and holding a special meeting of shareholders to authorize additional capital stock. The Board of Directors believes that the enhanced ability to respond to favorable capital market conditions and other opportunities before conditions or opportunities pass is in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders.

Effect of Preferred Stock Upon Holders of Common Stock

        The actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of the common stock cannot be stated until the Board of Directors determines the specific terms of the issued preferred stock. However, the effects might include, among other things, restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting power of the common stock, diluting the equity interest of the existing holders of common stock if the preferred stock is convertible into common stock, reducing the market price of the common stock, or impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock.

        If shareholders approve and adopt this amendment to the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors will have the authority to create and issue a class of preferred stock without further shareholder approval. Among other things, the Board of Directors will have the authority to establish the number of shares constituting a series, dividend rights, voting rights, conversion or exchange privileges, redemption features, sinking fund provisions, and rights in the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution.

        Furthermore, any issuance of preferred stock with voting rights could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Corporation by increasing the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter, thereby increasing the number of votes required to approve a change in control. Preferred stock with voting rights or that is convertible into shares of common stock (or rights to purchase such shares) could be issued to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Corporation by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The ability of the Board of Directors to issue additional shares of preferred stock, with the rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of the Corporation by tender offer or other means. These issuances could, therefore, deprive shareholders of benefits that could result from an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price. However, the preferred stock is not being proposed for an anti-takeover-related

purpose, and the Corporation has no knowledge of any current efforts to obtain control of the Corporation or to effect large accumulations of the Corporation's voting stock.

        Holders of common stock will not have preemptive rights with respect to the issuance of preferred stock. The Corporation does not currently have any definitive plans, arrangements or understandings with respect to the issuance of any of the proposed shares of preferred stock.

Required Vote

        Approval and adoption of the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to authorize a class of preferred stock requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE CORPORATION'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO AUTHORIZE PREFERRED STOCK.

ACNB CORPORATION
2009 RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN

        On February 24, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted the ACNB Corporation 2009 Restricted Stock Plan (the "Restricted Stock Plan"). Restricted stock is stock granted to an employee or director which is not transferred to the employee or director until specific conditions are met. Typical restrictions include performance goals for the individual or Corporation or remaining with the Corporation for a specific number of years. Once the conditions are met, then the stock is no longer restricted and is transferred to the employee or director. The Board believes that restricted stock awards can serve as an important element in attracting and retaining employees and directors who are expected to contribute to the Corporation's growth and success. By compensating employees and directors with shares of Corporation stock, the employees and directors have additional incentive to ensure that the Corporation is successful.

        The Corporation does not currently have a restricted stock plan.

Summary of the Restricted Stock Plan

        The following is a brief summary of the Restricted Stock Plan. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Restricted Stock Plan, a copy of which is included as Appendix C to this 2009 Proxy Statement and incorporated herein by reference.

Shares Subject to the Restricted Stock Plan

        The number of shares of common stock which may be issued under the Restricted Stock Plan may not exceed 200,000 shares. If any restricted stock award is terminated, surrendered, canceled or forfeited, the unused shares of common stock covered by such restricted stock award will again be available for grant under the Restricted Stock Plan.

Eligibility to Receive Stock Awards

        The Corporation's employees and directors, approximately 300 persons, are all eligible to be granted restricted stock awards under the Restricted Stock Plan; however, the Compensation Committee determines to whom specifically restricted stock will be granted. The granting of restricted stock awards under the Restricted Stock Plan is discretionary, and the Board cannot currently determine whether restricted stock awards will be granted in the future to any particular person or group. Simply because one employee or director is granted a restricted stock award does not mean that another employee or director will be awarded restricted stock as well. The Compensation Committee may select participants based upon a person's responsibilities and service, past, present, and anticipated future contributions, or such other criteria as the Compensation Committee determines is appropriate. No awards of restricted stock have been made to date, and the Compensation Committee has not determined who, if anyone, will receive awards.

Description of Restricted Stock Grants

        The Compensation Committee may award restricted stock contingent upon the employee (or director), Corporation, or Bank meeting certain performance goals or the employee (or director) continuing to be employed by the Bank (or serving as a director) after a certain period of time. Restricted stock granted pursuant to the Restricted Stock Plan is subject to forfeiture in the event that the conditions specified in the applicable restricted stock agreement are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period established for such restricted stock award. The restricted stock becomes vested, and not subject to forfeiture, in one or more installments, upon the happening of certain events, upon the passage of a specified period of time, upon the fulfillment of certain conditions or upon the achievement by the Corporation or the Bank of certain performance goals, or

31

Table of Contents

any combination of the above, as the Compensation Committee shall decide in each case when the restricted stock is awarded.

        In the event of a change of control of the Corporation, the death or disability of the employee or director, or upon retirement of the employee or director at or after age 62, all shares of restricted stock will become fully vested. Generally, unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, any shares of restricted stock that have not vested on the date of termination of employment are forfeited by such person when such person terminates employment with the Corporation.

Administration

        The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee will have the authority to designate participants; determine the number, terms and conditions of each award; establish, adopt or revise any rules and regulations as it may deem advisable; and, make all other decisions and determinations that may be required under the Plan.

Amendment or Termination

        The Compensation Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Restricted Stock Plan at any time.

Tax Consequences to the Corporation

        The Corporation generally will be entitled to a business expense deduction with respect to any ordinary compensation income recognized by a participant under the Restricted Stock Plan at the same time that the participant recognizes ordinary compensation income. Any such deduction will be subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, the sale of any common stock acquired under the Restricted Stock Plan will not have any tax consequences to the Corporation.

Tax Consequences to the Holder

        A participant will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of a restricted stock award, unless the participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (a "Section 83(b) Election"). If the participant makes a Section 83(b) Election within thirty (30) days of the date of the grant, then the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income, for the year in which the restricted stock award is granted, in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the common stock at the time the restricted stock award is granted and the purchase price paid for the common stock, if any. If a participant makes a Section 83(b) Election and then forfeits the common stock, such participant will not be permitted to reverse the amount of ordinary income recognized, but will have a capital loss of such amount. If a Section 83(b) Election is not made, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income at the time that the forfeiture provisions or restrictions on transfer lapse, in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the common stock at the time of such lapse and the original purchase price paid for the common stock, if any.

        The participant will have a tax basis in the common stock acquired upon a restricted stock award equal to the sum of the price paid, if any, and the amount of ordinary compensation income recognized.

        Upon the disposition of the common stock acquired pursuant to a stock award, the participant will recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sale price of the common stock and the participant's tax basis in the common stock. The gain or loss will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the shares are held for more than one (1) year. For this purpose, the holding period will begin just after the date on which the forfeiture provisions or restrictions lapse if a Section 83(b) Election is not made, or just after the date the restricted stock award is granted if a Section 83(b) Election is made.

Table of Contents

        This description is only a summary of current law and does not reflect any tax consequences in any other jurisdiction. Each participant is urged to seek advice from his or her personal tax adviser.

Restrictions on Transfer

        Shares of restricted stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the termination of the applicable restricted period or for such period of time as shall be established by the Compensation Committee.

Voting Rights

        Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant, a participant holding restricted stock shall be entitled to full voting rights with respect to those shares during the restriction period.

Dividends and Other Distributions

        During the restriction period, a participant holding restricted stock may, if the Compensation Committee so determines, be credited with dividends paid with respect to the underlying shares. The Compensation Committee may apply any restrictions to the dividends that the Compensation Committee deems appropriate.

Required Vote

        Approval and ratification of the ACNB Corporation 2009 Restricted Stock Plan requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF THE ACNB CORPORATION 2009 RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN.

Appendix A

ACNB CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARIES
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

ORGANIZATION

        The Audit Committee is a committee of outside members of the Board of Directors. Its function is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial information which will be provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the shareholders or the public, the systems of internal controls which management and the Board of Directors have established, and the audit process.

AUTHORIZATION

        The Audit Committee of ACNB Corporation and Subsidiaries is a standing committee of the Board of Directors authorized by the Bylaws of ACNB Corporation.

PURPOSE

        The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibility relating to (i) the integrity of the Company's financial statements and financial reporting process and the Company's systems of internal accounting and financial controls; (ii) the performance of the internal audit function; (iii) the annual independent audit of the Company's financial statements, the engagement of the independent auditors, and the evaluation of the independent auditors' qualifications, independence and performance; (iv) the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, including the Company's disclosure controls and procedures; (v) the fulfillment of the other responsibilities set out herein; and (vi) monitoring the Company's compliance with the Code of Ethics. The report of the Audit Committee required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") shall be included in the Company's annual proxy statement.

        While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of management and the independent auditors. In carrying out its oversight responsibilities, as permitted under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended, the Audit Committee members are entitled to rely in good faith on the expertise, integrity and knowledge of management, the internal and independent auditors, and corporate counsel.

MEMBERSHIP AND STRUCTURE

        The Audit Committee shall be comprised of at least three members of the Board, and the members must be independent in accordance with the Company's independence standards. In addition, the members must meet the experience and expertise requirements set forth by the Board of Directors and applicable laws and regulations (including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002).

        All members of the Audit Committee shall have a general understanding of finance and accounting practices, and at least one member of the Committee shall be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each member shall be free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would under applicable laws and regulations make the director not independent. No Committee member shall simultaneously serve on the audit committees of more than two other public companies. A Chair shall be elected by the full Board. The Chair shall lead all regular sessions of the Committee and set the agenda for the Committee meetings.

Appendix A, Page 1

The Audit Committee shall consult with management, but shall not delegate these responsibilities.

        The Audit Committee shall have the authority, to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, to retain special legal, accounting, or other consultants to advise the Audit Committee. The Company shall provide funding, as determined by the Audit Committee, for payment of compensation to the independent auditors and to any advisors employed by the Audit Committee. Any communications between the Audit Committee and legal counsel in the course of obtaining legal advice shall be considered privileged communications of the Company, and the Audit Committee shall take all necessary steps to preserve the privileged nature of those communications.

MEETINGS

        The Committee shall meet at least four times annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. The Audit Committee may hold special meetings upon the call of the Chair of the Committee. At Committee meetings, a majority of the total members shall constitute a quorum. A member of the Audit Committee or a person designated by the Audit Committee shall keep minutes. The Committee shall regularly report to the Board on the Audit Committee's activities, and annually review and evaluate its own performance. The Committee shall review and assess the adequacy of this Charter annually and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval.

        All members of the Board who are not members of the Committee may attend meetings of the Committee, but may not vote. The Committee may invite to its meetings any management or other personnel of the Company, or any third parties, as it deems appropriate in order to carry out its responsibilities.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES

        In carrying out its responsibilities, the Audit Committee believes its policies and procedures should remain flexible, in order to best react to changing conditions and ensure to the directors and shareholders that the corporate accounting and reporting practices of the Company are in accordance with all requirements.

The Audit Committee's responsibilities and duties are designated by the categories listed below:
