| Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
On November 8, 2022, Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc.
(the “Company”) convened a Special Meeting of Shareholders for which the Board of Directors solicited proxies to consider
and vote upon two proposals described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on September 6, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”). As of the record date for the Special Meeting, holders of a total
of 7,052,042 shares of the Company’s common stock were entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and, of such total outstanding shares,
5,088,152 shares, or 72.15% of total outstanding shares, were represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting, which constituted a quorum.
Set forth below are the final voting results for
Proposal No. 2 to authorize one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies
if there were not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve Proposal No. 1 relating to a proposal to amend the
Company’s articles of incorporation. Pursuant to the authority granted as a result of approval of Proposal No. 2, the Special
Meeting was temporarily adjourned to allow additional time for shareholders to vote on Proposal No. 1 (proposal to amend Article 13
of the Company’s articles of incorporation to eliminate the 66-2/3% supermajority shareholder vote required by Article 13 to
approve a merger, consolidation, liquidation, or dissolution of the Company, or any action that would result in the sale or disposition
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, provided that the transaction is approved in advance by the affirmative vote
of 75% or more of the members of the Company’s board of directors). The adjourned Special Meeting will be reconvened at 9:00 a.m.,
Eastern Time, on December 13, 2022, virtually via the Internet. The sole matter of business before the reconvened Special Meeting
will be for shareholders to consider and vote on Proposal One. At the time of the temporary adjournment of the Special Meeting, approximately
86.3% of the shares voted had voted to approve Proposal One.
