(e)       The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation

Committee") of Park National Corporation ("Park") met on December 8, 2020 to

determine the 2021 base salary (the "2021 Base Salary") for each of Park's

executive officers, the incentive compensation for the twelve-month period ended

September 30, 2020 (the "2020 Incentive Compensation") to be paid to each of

Park's executive officers and equity-based awards to be granted to Park's

executive officers effective on January 1, 2021. In determining both base salary

and incentive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers, as one of the

relevant factors, Park's performance relative to Park's peer bank holding

companies (the financial services holding companies included in the Midwest

Regional Compensation Peer Group and the Industry Index of financial services

holding companies (excluding corporations classified for federal income tax

purposes as "S" corporations) in the United States with total consolidated assets

of $3 billion to $10 billion (the "$3B to $10B Industry Index")), measured in each

case by the return on average equity and return on average assets for the

twelve-month period ended September 30, 2020. The 2021 Base Salary is effective

January 1, 2021 and the 2020 Incentive Compensation is expected to be paid in

March 2021.

The following table shows the 2021 Base Salary and the 2020 Incentive Compensation


          for each of Park's executive officers:

Park National Corporation 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan for Employees -
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Awards
On December 8, 2020, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of awards
(the "2021 PBRSU Awards") of performance-based restricted stock units ("PBRSUs")
to each of Messrs. Trautman, Miller and Burt, which 2021 PBRSU Award grants are
to be effective on January 1, 2021, subject to the terms and conditions of
Park's 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan for Employees (the "2017 Employees LTIP")
and the award agreements evidencing the 2021 PBRSU Awards.

                                       2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following table shows the minimum/target number of PBRSUs which may be
earned (the "Target Award") and the maximum number of PBRSUs which may be earned
(the "Maximum Award") in respect of the 2021 PBRSU Award to be granted to each
of Messrs. Trautman, Miller and Burt:

Name and Position                                       Target Award                 Maximum Award
David L. Trautman
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of each Park and PNB                            3,000 PBRSUs        

4,500 PBRSUs

Matthew R. Miller
President of each Park and PNB                          2,250 PBRSUs        

3,375 PBRSUs

Brady T. Burt
Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and
Treasurer of Park; Senior Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer of PNB                          2,000 PBRSUs                  3,000 PBRSUs




The number of PBRSUs earned and settled or, in the alternative, forfeited will
be based upon Park's performance, measured by Park's cumulative return on
average assets ("ROA") for the three-year performance period beginning
January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2023 (the "Performance Period"),
relative to the cumulative ROA results for the Performance Period for the $3B to
$10B Industry Index. However, no PBRSUs will be earned by Messrs. Trautman,
Miller and Burt if Park's consolidated net income for each fiscal year during
the Performance Period has not equaled or exceeded an amount equal to 110% of
all cash dividends declared and paid by Park during such fiscal year.

Park's performance at the 50th percentile and the 80th percentile of the Peer
Group's performance will result in Messrs. Trautman, Miller and Burt earning
PBRSUs representing the Target Award and the Maximum Award, respectively
(interpolated on a straight line basis for performance at percentiles between
these specified percentiles), covered by their respective grants.

Any PBRSUs earned based on Park's performance relative to the Peer Group will
also be subject to a service-based vesting requirement. One-half of the PBRSUs
earned in respect of the Performance Period will vest and be settled in Park
common shares (on a one-for-one basis) on the date the Compensation Committee
determines and certifies the number of PBRSUs earned in respect of the
Performance Period (the "Certification Date") if the executive officer earning
such PBRSUs is still employed by Park or one of Park's subsidiaries on the
Certification Date. On the first anniversary of the Certification Date, the
other half of the PBRSUs earned in respect of the Performance Period will vest
and be settled in Park common shares (on a one-for-one basis) if the executive
officer earning such PBRSUs is still employed by Park or one of Park's
subsidiaries on the first anniversary of the Certification Date. Subject to the
terms of the award agreement evidencing each 2021 PBRSU Award, none of the Park
common shares received by Messrs. Trautman, Miller and Burt upon settlement of
earned and vested PBRSUs may be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise
similarly disposed of by him for a period of five years after the date of
settlement.

Each award agreement evidencing a 2021 PBRSU Award also addresses the effect of
termination of employment of the executive officer to whom the 2021 BPRSU Award
is granted, the effect of a defined "Change in Control" for purposes of the 2017
Employees LTIP and events the occurrence of which will result in the forfeiture
of the PBRSUs and any common shares delivered pursuant to the award agreement.
