#### Description of ACNB Corporation
ACNB Corporation was formed in 1982 and became the holding company for the banking subsidiary in 1983. ACNB Corporation's wholly-owned banking subsidiary is ACNB Bank, a Pennsylvania state-chartered bank and trust company, formerly Adams County National Bank. ACNB Bank operates in southcentral Pennsylvania and central Maryland. The Corporation's primary activity consists of owning and supervising its banking subsidiary.

The Corporation also owns and supervises ACNB Insurance Services, Inc. as its insurance agency subsidiary.

We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information about the Corporation; therefore, you should rely only on the information contained in this document or on documents to which we refer you. Although we believe we have provided you with all the information helpful to you in your decision to vote, events may occur at ACNB Corporation subsequent to printing this proxy statement that might affect your decision or the value of your stock.

#### Internet Availability of Proxy Materials
 **Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Shareholder Meeting to Be Held on May 2, 2023.

#### VOTING PROCEDURES

#### Solicitation and Voting of Proxies
The Board of Directors solicits this proxy for use at the Corporation's 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Corporation's directors and officers and ACNB Bank employees may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, facsimile, email or other similar electronic means without additional compensation. The Corporation 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, as well as 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 28, 2023.

Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 13, 2023 (the annual meeting record date), are entitled to vote at the meeting. The Corporation's records show that, as of the annual meeting record date, 8,514,970 shares of the Corporation's common stock, par value $2.50 per share, were outstanding. On

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

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 may vote your shares by completing and returning a written proxy card or voting by internet or telephone. You may also vote in person at the meeting. Submitting your voting instructions by returning a proxy card, internet or telephone 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, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust 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 at the meeting. The Corporation has provided a proxy card, as well as instructions to vote by internet or telephone, 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 or nominee how to vote and you are also invited to attend the meeting with proper identification as to your beneficial ownership. However, because you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your street name shares 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 Todd L. Herring and James J. Lott as proxyholders to vote your shares, as indicated on the proxy card. Any signed proxy card or vote by internet or telephone not specifying to the contrary will be voted **FOR**:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1.

Electing five (5) Class 3 Directors to serve for terms of three (3) years and until their successors are elected and qualified;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2.

Approving the non-binding vote on executive compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3.

Conducting an annual non-binding shareholder vote on executive compensation; and,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4.

Ratifying the selection of Crowe LLP as ACNB Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm.

You may revoke your written proxy by delivering written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Corporation, by executing a later dated proxy and giving written notice of the revocation, or by voting again by internet or telephone, 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, or by internet or telephone in accordance with instructions from shareholders.

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.

#### Quorum and Vote Required for Approval
As of the close of business on March 13, 2023, the Corporation had 8,514,970 shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, outstanding.

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. A majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum. Votes withheld and abstentions are counted in determining the presence of a quorum for a particular matter. Broker non-votes are not considered present and voting on a particular matter as to which the broker withheld authority and, therefore, not counted as a vote cast on that matter. 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

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

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, approving the non-binding proposal on executive compensation and ratifying the independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023 requires the affirmative **"FOR"** vote of a majority of all votes cast, 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.

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. Shareholders will approve the frequency of the non-binding vote on executive compensation by a plurality of votes cast on the matter. The proxyholders will not cast votes for or against any director nominees when the broker withheld authority.

#### 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 executive 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 Nasdaq Stock Market, Securities and Exchange Commission **(**SEC) regulations, as well as best practices suggested by recognized governance authorities. Currently, our Board of Directors has ten (10) members. Under the SEC and Nasdaq standards for independence, except for Mr. Seibel, all non-employee directors and nominees meet the standards for independence. This constitutes more than a majority of our Board of Directors. Mr. Seibel is not independent because he is the brother of Douglas A. Seibel, Executive Vice President/Chief Lending & Revenue Officer of ACNB Bank. Only independent directors serve on our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating Committee.

#### Leadership Structure
The Corporation chooses to separate the roles of Chairman and President & Chief Executive Officer. The President & Chief Executive Officer is responsible for implementing the strategic direction of the Corporation, as determined by the Board of Directors, and for the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Corporation. The Chairman oversees the agenda for and presides over Board of Director meetings, as well as provides leadership to the Board and facilitates communication between the Board of Directors and executive management. The Corporation's Chairman of the Board is considered independent under the SEC and Nasdaq standards for independence.

#### Risk Oversight
The Board of Directors has a role in overseeing the Corporation's risks as a whole and at the committee level. The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing the risks the Corporation faces on behalf of the Board of Directors. In doing so, the Audit Committee works closely with the Corporation's Chairman of the Board, President & Chief Executive Officer, and ACNB Bank's Chief Risk Officer, as well as with other members of management with respect to matters relating to risk management. The Audit Committee receives reports on risk management and the processes in place to monitor and control such exposures. The Audit Committee may also receive updates, from time to time, between meetings from management relating to risk oversight matters. The Audit Committee provides updates on its risk management activities to the full Board of Directors via the committee's meeting minutes. Further, members of management may make presentations on risk management to the full Board of Directors or another committee of the Board of Directors.

In addition to the Audit Committee, other committees of the Board of Directors consider the risks within their areas of responsibility. For example, the Compensation Committee considers the risks that may be implicated by the Corporation's compensation practices. Also, the Executive Committee assesses the

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

risks associated with the Corporation's executive management succession plan. It is the role of the full Board of Directors, however, to consider the risks associated with the Corporation's strategic plan and its implementation.

#### Director Independence
In determining each director's and nominee's independence, the Board of Directors considered loan transactions between ACNB 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.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

All proposals must comply with SEC regulations regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. If a shareholder proposal is submitted to the Corporation after November 29, 2023, 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 2024 proxy statement.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under ACNB Corporation's Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Corporation's nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, no later than March 4, 2024. However, if the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting is changed by more than thirty (30) calendar days from the anniversary date of the 2023 Annual Meeting, then notice must be provided by the later of sixty (60) calendar days prior to the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting or the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) calendar day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting is first made.

#### Employee Code of Ethics
Since May 1994, ACNB Bank, formerly 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 adopted a Code of Ethics which is applicable to our directors, officers and employees, and which has been amended as necessary from time to time.

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 to ACNB Corporation's Chief Governance Officer. The Code of Ethics is available under the Governance Documents section of the ACNB Corporation Investor Relations website at *investor.acnb.com*.

#### Anti-Hedging/Pledging Policy
Pursuant to the Corporation's policy, directors and executive officers are prohibited from entering into hedging transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity securities.

#### ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

#### Nomination of Directors
The Corporation has a standing Nominating Committee with a charter. Recommendations to the Board of Directors as to the nominees for election as directors at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders are provided by the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee will consider shareholder-recommended nominees for director, and shareholders who desire 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, 203 and 207(b), 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 authorize the number of directors to be not less than five (5) and not more than twenty-five (25). Further, the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for three (3) classes of directors with staggered terms of office of three (3) years that expire at successive annual meetings. Pursuant to Article II, Section 207(b), of the Corporation's Bylaws, no director or nominee shall stand for election, if as of the date of election, he or she shall have attained the age of seventy-two (72) years old. Currently, the number of directors is set at ten (10): Class 1 consists of two (2) directors, Class 2 consists of three (3) directors, and Class 3 consists of five (5) directors.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

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, the willingness to commit time, a commitment to independence, a 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 potential 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 and direction, a fundamental priority for the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee follows the same process for evaluating shareholder-recommended nominees for director.

The Nominating Committee does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity; however, the Board and the Nominating Committee believe that it is essential that members of the Board of Directors represent diverse viewpoints and experience. In considering candidates for the Board, the Nominating Committee considers the entirety of each candidate's credentials in the context of these standards.

The tables below provide certain self-identified diversity information regarding our Board of Directors as of February 1, 2023 and February 1, 2022.

#### Director Deferred Fee Plan
In January 2001, ACNB Bank established a director deferred fee plan. Directors Chaney, Elsner, Herring, Kelley, Lott, Newell, Schultz, Seibel, Stock and Williams participated in 2022. Directors may defer up to 100% of the director's income. 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).

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### Variable Compensation Plan
Effective January 1, 2018, the ACNB Bank Variable Compensation Plan was amended to allow directors to participate under the same terms as employees in order to better align the interests of the directors with the shareholders and to place similar restrictions, as placed upon employees who are granted restricted stock, on grants of shares from the 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, any successor plan, or any similar plan under which equity awards may be granted and directors are eligible to participate. On March 15, 2022, each non-employee director was granted a variable equity award of 450 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the Variable Compensation Plan. One-third (1/3) of this award became 100% vested as of the grant date of March 15, 2022, with the next one-third (1/3) 100% vested as of January 1, 2023, and the final one-third (1/3) 100% vested as of January 1, 2024.

#### Director Supplemental Life Insurance Plan
ACNB Bank has a director supplemental life insurance plan. All non-employee directors are eligible for the life insurance benefit. The plan currently insures nine (9) directors. The director life insurance benefit of $250,000 per participating director shall be provided unless the director separates from service prior to reaching the retirement age without at least nine (9) years of service, in which case the benefit is $100,000. This life insurance benefit is funded through a single premium BOLI program because BOLI is a more cost-efficient way of providing the benefits. The amount of death benefits is the amount set forth in the individual's policy endorsement. 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.

#### Long-Term Care Insurance
ACNB Bank provides long-term care insurance to directors, and eligibility is subject to medical underwriting acceptance. The plan currently insures nine (9) directors. The eligible participating directors are not required to pay any premiums. The long-term care insurance provides a monthly maximum base benefit of $4,000 for long-term care needs.

#### EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

#### Determination of Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee is charged with recommending to the Board of Directors of ACNB Corporation the compensation for all executive officers of ACNB Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees or delegate authority to management when appropriate, as well as retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel, or other adviser.

 *<u>Compensation Objectives and Policies</u>* 

The primary objective of the Corporation's compensation philosophy remains to attract, motivate, reward and retain executives who will maintain the safety and soundness of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. In addition, the Corporation's compensation philosophy aims to 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 and the Board of Directors of the Corporation seek to establish fair compensation policies in order to attract, motivate, reward and retain competent managers whose efforts will enhance the Corporation's profitability and growth without exposing the Corporation to undue risk. The Compensation Committee treats compensation as an evolving process depending on the strategic objectives of the Corporation, as determined by the Board of Directors at that time.

 *<u>The Role of the Named Executive Officers in Setting Compensation</u>* 

The Named Executive Officers do not 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.

 *<u>The Role of a Consultant in Setting Compensation</u>* 

The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel, or other adviser. The Compensation Committee is directly responsible for retaining, determining the independence, determining if a conflict of interest exists, compensating, and overseeing the work of its advisers.

The Compensation Committee engaged the services of Blanchard Consulting Group for projects related to the review of both director and executive compensation, including the incentive plan, the results of which were implemented in 2022. The Compensation Committee also reviewed and considered educational materials from various webinars and conferences, as well as other resources, as further explained in *Benchmarking* below.

 *<u>Benchmarking</u>* 

For 2022, the Compensation Committee reviewed the information provided by Blanchard Consulting Group which included benchmarking data gathered from external salary surveys and was focused on an agreed upon peer group. The Compensation Committee also reviewed information it received from various webinars, conferences and publications. This information provides general compensation trends and is not used to specifically benchmark any specific element of 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.

#### Summary Compensation Table
The following table summarizes the total compensation for James P. Helt, the Corporation's President & Chief Executive Officer; Douglas A. Seibel, the Bank's Executive Vice President/ Chief Revenue & Lending Officer; and, Lynda L. Glass, Executive Vice President/Secretary & Chief Governance Officer for the years indicated.

#### Employment Agreements
Each of the Named Executive Officers has an employment agreement. On December 31, 2008, the Corporation and Adams County National Bank, now ACNB Bank, entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Lynda L. Glass, Executive Vice President/Secretary & Chief Governance Officer of the Corporation and Executive Vice President/Secretary and Chief Risk & Governance Officer of the Bank. Ms. Glass' agreement was again amended on December 27, 2016. On October 5, 2022, the Corporation and ACNB Bank entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with James P. Helt, President & Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and the Bank. On October 20, 2022, ACNB Bank entered into an employment agreement with Douglas A. Seibel, Executive Vice President/Chief Lending & Revenue Officer of the Bank (together, the "Agreements" and "Executives"). Under the Agreements, the Named Executive Officers are eligible for bonuses, paid time off, participation in employee benefit plans, and reimbursement of business expenses.

The initial terms of the Agreements are three (3) years which automatically extend for an additional one (1) year period on each annual anniversary date of the Agreements, unless notice is given one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the anniversary date, so that on each anniversary date if notice had not been previously given the term shall continue for three (3) years.

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", Messrs. Helt or Seibel or Ms. Glass would receive 2.99 times the respective Executive's agreed compensation and benefits for two (2) years. 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 (a) they return to work, (b) reach age sixty-five (65), (c) die, or (d) the employment period under the Agreements ends. The Agreements automatically terminate if the Executives voluntarily terminate the Agreements. If the Executive's employment is terminated either involuntarily or voluntary, under certain circumstances as set forth in the Agreements, following a "Change in Control", as defined in the Agreements, the Executive is entitled to 2.99 times the Executive's agreed compensation and to continue to receive benefits for up to two (2) years. Messrs. Helt and Seibel and Ms. Glass would receive grossed-up payments, if necessary.

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 ACNB Bank.

#### Variable Compensation Plan
Effective January 1, 2014, and subsequently amended effective January 1, 2018, January 1, 2021, and March 1, 2022, the Compensation Committee established the ACNB Bank Variable Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), which provides guidelines for awarding cash and/or equity incentive bonuses. Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee may make a recommendation to the Board of Directors to award stock under the ACNB Corporation 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, any successor plan, or any similar plan under which equity awards may be granted, if it chooses to make equity awards. The Board of Directors also reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. The guidelines contained in the Plan include general restrictions such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the award formulas are to be constructed to align the interests of the participant with those of the shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the participant must have an overall rating of "Meets Expectations" on his or her most recent individual performance appraisal, as applicable;

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • no incentive bonuses may be awarded if the Bank's CAMELS rating assigned by its regulators falls below a certain rating;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • no incentive bonuses will be awarded if the Board of Directors determines that the dividend payable to the shareholders is not reasonable or competitive; and,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • all bonuses are subject to a clawback provision.

#### Criteria Considered in Deciding to Grant a Bonus Under the ACNB Bank Variable Compensation Plan

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Factor**  | **Rationale**  | **2021 <br> Target**  |
| **Return on Average Equity (ROAE)**  | Measures the Bank's performance and provides for a pay for performance baseline. | 7.00%  |
| **Deposit Growth**  | Incentivizes employees to grow the Bank's deposit base. | 0.00%  |
| **Loan Growth**  | Incentivizes employees to grow the Bank's loan portfolio which will increase income. | 2.00%  |
| **Leverage Capital Ratio**  | Our regulators look at our capital ratios to help determine if our capital is adequate and may place constraints on us if they determine that it is not. | 9.00%  |
| **Non-Performing Loans to Total Loans**  | Incentivizes employees to grow the Bank's loan portfolio with quality loans. | <2.00%  |
| **Net Income**  | Seeks to maintain an improved performance of the Bank. | ≥$18 Million  |

---

A maximum of fifty-seven percent (57%) of the bonus awarded to the respective Named Executive Officer was a cash award paid in 2022 for 2021 performance. The remaining portion of the bonus was in the form of an equity award under the ACNB Corporation 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as purchased through the Corporation's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. Mr. Helt was awarded a larger bonus, given his position, than the other Named Executive Officers employed by ACNB Bank. The shares awarded to the Named Executive Officers vest in one-third (1/3) tranches, with the first third vesting in 2022. The Compensation Committee intends to consider restricted stock through the ACNB Corporation 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan or another successor plan in the future in conjunction with the ACNB Bank Variable Compensation Plan with the intended purpose to encourage stability and longevity in executive management.

#### Equity Compensation
In 2018, the Corporation's shareholders approved the ACNB Corporation 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, which allows the Corporation to grant up to 400,000 restricted shares of ACNB Corporation common stock under the plan. Awards that may be granted under the 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan include stock options (including qualified stock options and non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), stock awards, restricted stock, stock units and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance awards, and director compensation. All awards and the terms and conditions of such awards will be set forth in a written agreement.

On March 15, 2022, the Corporation granted a total of 5,826.206479 restricted shares to the Named Executive Officers employed by ACNB Bank. Subject to earlier forfeiture or accelerated vesting, the restricted shares vest as follows: one-third (1/3) of the restricted shares 100% vested on the grant date, with the next one-third (1/3) of the restricted shares 100% vested as of January 1, 2023, and the final one-third (1/3) of the restricted shares 100% vested as of January 1, 2024.

The following table is a summary of the outstanding equity awards at December 31, 2022.

#### Supplemental Life Insurance Plan
In January 2001, ACNB Bank implemented a supplemental life insurance plan for certain officers, including the Named Executive Officers, of the Bank to provide death benefits for each officer's designated beneficiaries, which was amended and restated in December 2014. Beneficiaries designated by an officer are entitled to a split-dollar share of the death proceeds from the life insurance policies on each officer equal to the lesser of two (2) times the officer's base annual salary or the maximum dollar amount of the participant's interest in the policy based upon the vesting schedule attached to his or her split-dollar policy endorsement. 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.

#### Group Term Life Insurance Plan
ACNB Bank maintains a group term life insurance plan. All full-time Bank employees are eligible to participate in the plan. For 2022, the insurance benefit for employees was calculated as two (2) times base salary, with a maximum of $250,000.

#### Long-Term Care Insurance
ACNB Bank provides long-term care insurance to certain officers including the Named Executive Officers. The insurance provides a monthly benefit for long-term care needs.

#### 401(k) Plan
ACNB Bank maintains a defined contribution profit-sharing 401(k) plan. ACNB 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 6% of the employee's wages unless otherwise directed. ACNB Bank matches a percentage of the employee's contribution. In 2022, ACNB Bank's contribution equaled 100% of the employee's contribution up to 3% of earned compensation plus 50% of the next 2% of earned compensation. Effective January 1, 2000, ACNB 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.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### Defined Benefit Plan
Employees of ACNB Bank hired on or before March 31, 2012, are covered under the Bank's Group Pension Plan for Employees provided that they meet the eligibility criteria of the plan. 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, January 1, 2010, and April 1, 2012. ACNB Bank is the plan sponsor and 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 benefit pension plan on behalf of a specific employee cannot be separately or individually calculated. ACNB Bank made no contributions to the plan in 2022, as the plan is considered to be well funded.

Each employee of ACNB Bank hired on or before March 31, 2012, who attained the age of twenty (20) years and six (6) months and who completed one (1) year of service, in which one thousand (1,000) hours were worked, was 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. Effective January 1, 2010, the formula for determining a participant's benefit is the participant's earned benefit as of December 31, 2009, plus 0.75% of the participant's average monthly pay multiplied by the participant's benefit service earned on and after January 1, 2010, but not more than twenty-five (25) years. 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 Plan
ACNB Bank entered into retirement income agreements with the Named Executive Officers to provide supplemental retirement income benefits to these officers upon the later of reaching their normal retirement date or separation of service. Mr. Helt's and Ms. Glass' benefits are payable in equal monthly installments for the greater of one hundred-eighty (180) months or the executive's life. Benefits are also payable upon death. Benefit amounts will be determined by the individual's number of years of service. Benefits accrue annually, but may be reduced if termination of service occurs before the normal retirement date except after a change in control. In exchange for providing benefits under the agreements, the executives are bound by respective noncompetition arrangements. No benefits are payable under the agreements if the executive directly or indirectly engages in a business or activity that may be deemed competitive with ACNB Bank or the Corporation within fifty (50) miles of ACNB Bank's principal office. If the termination occurs before the executive's respective retirement date, this restriction applies for five (5) years after the date of the executive's separation of service; however, the restriction will not extend longer than three (3) years after the executive begins to receive benefits under the respective agreement. If the separation occurs after the executive's retirement date, then the restriction shall be in place for three (3) years. The restriction does not apply after a change in control. Under the terms of Mr. Seibel's agreements, the Bank shall credit $100,000 per calendar year to executive's account as long as executive is employed by the Bank at the time such amount is credited. In the event Mr. Seibel's employment is terminated for cause, no benefits of any kind will be due or payable under the terms of his agreements and all rights shall be forfeited. In the event Mr. Seibel separates from service, including death but excluding for cause, he (or his beneficiary) shall be paid his vested account balance in monthly installments for thirty-six (36) months. In the event of a change in control, Mr. Seibel will be paid his vested account balance in a lump sum. ACNB Bank purchased bank-owned life insurance policies on each officer to fund the retirement income agreements.

#### POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
As Named Executive Officers, Messrs. Helt and Seibel and Ms. Glass have entered into employment agreements with the Corporation and/or ACNB Bank, which govern any payments upon termination or change in control. If on December 31, 2022, Messrs. Helt or Seibel or Ms. Glass terminated employment for "Good Reason", each would have received thirty-six (36) monthly payments in an amount equal to 2.99 times his or her respective agreed compensation plus benefits for two (2) years. If Messrs. Helt or Seibel 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 agreed compensation plus benefits for two (2) years following termination. If the Corporation terminates the

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

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 agreed compensation 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 for Messrs. Helt and Seibel and Ms. Glass to accommodate for any excise tax imposed on the payments.

All 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" followed by a separation of service, the Named Executive Officers will become vested in the retirement benefits under the supplemental executive retirement plan agreement. If the Named Executive Officer is terminated for reasons other than the commission of a felony involving Bank property prior to retirement, 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. 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 defined benefit plan.

#### Transactions with Directors and Executive Officers
Some of ACNB Corporation's directors, executive officers, and their immediate family members and the companies with which they are associated were customers of and had banking transactions with ACNB Corporation's subsidiary bank during 2022. All loans and loan commitments made to them and to their companies were made in the ordinary course of ACNB 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 collectability or present other unfavorable features. ACNB Corporation's subsidiary bank anticipates that similar transactions will be entered into in the future.

The Corporation does not regularly engage in business transactions with directors and executive officers outside of its business of banking. Generally, any other significant 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 has been subsequently revised and is incorporated by reference from the Governance Documents section of the ACNB Corporation Investor Relations website at *investor.acnb.com.* 

The Audit Committee met with management periodically during the year to consider the adequacy of ACNB Corporation's internal controls and the objectivity of its financial reporting. The Audit Committee

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

discussed these matters with ACNB Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm and with appropriate ACNB Corporation financial personnel and internal auditors. The Audit Committee also discussed with ACNB Corporation's management and independent registered public accounting firm the process used for certifications by ACNB Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which are required for certain of ACNB Corporation's filings with the SEC.

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

The Audit Committee selected Crowe LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for ACNB Corporation after reviewing the firm's performance and independence from management.

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

The independent registered public accounting firm 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 ACNB Corporation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and discussed with the Audit Committee any issues the firm believes should be raised with the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee reviewed with management and Crowe LLP, ACNB Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm, ACNB Corporation's audited financial statements, as well as reviewed those financial statements and reports prior to issuance. Management has represented, and Crowe 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 Crowe LLP the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered public accounting firm's Communications with Audit Committees and discussed with Crowe LLP its independence. These items relate to that firm's independence from ACNB Corporation. The Audit Committee also discussed with Crowe LLP matters required to be discussed by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. The Audit Committee implemented a procedure to monitor auditor independence, reviewed audit and non-audit services performed by Crowe LLP, and discussed with the firm its 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, 2022, which is then filed with the SEC.

At present, ACNB Corporation has two individuals designated as "audit committee financial expert". The Board of Directors has determined that Kimberly S. Chaney and Daniel W. Potts are qualified to serve as ACNB 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.

#### INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
In early 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of ACNB Corporation conducted a review and selection process to determine the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. As a result of this process, on May 20, 2022, the Audit Committee dismissed RSM US LLP as ACNB Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of RSM US LLP on ACNB Corporation's financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of an opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During ACNB Corporation's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding RSM US LLP's dismissal, there were: (i) no disagreements with RSM US LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of RSM US LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the consolidated financial statements for ACNB Corporation; and, (ii) no "reportable events", as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Aggregate fees billed to ACNB Corporation by Crowe LLP and RSM US LLP, respectively, for 2022 and 2021 for services rendered are presented below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended <br> December 31, 2022**  | **Year Ended <br> December 31, 2021**  |
| **Audit Fees**  | $273657 | $253975 |
| **Audit-Related Fees**  |  |  |
| **Tax Fees**  | $40589 | 24500 |
| **All Other Fees**  |  |  |
| **Total Fees**  | $314246 | $278475 |

---

*Audit Fees* include fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of the Corporation's annual consolidated financial statements and the review of consolidated financial statements included in Forms 10-Q, or services normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings (i.e., attest services required by FDICIA or Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), including out-of-pocket expenses. For 2022, audit fees included fees billed for additional procedures related to the transition of the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm. For 2021, audit fees included fees billed for additional procedures during the year related to internal controls and the core system conversion.

*Tax Fees* include fees billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, tax planning, and related administrative fees.

When applicable, the Audit Committee considers whether any permissible provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee preapproves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services, and other services. Preapproval will generally be provided for up to one (1) year, and any preapproval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is subject to a specific budget. In addition, the Audit Committee may also preapprove particular services on a case-by-case basis. None of the services related to any Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees or All Other Fees described above were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the preapproval waiver provisions set forth in the applicable SEC rules. In addition, the Audit Committee annually considers and recommends to the Board of Directors the selection of the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm as independent auditors.

#### DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires ACNB Corporation's directors, executive officers, and shareholders who beneficially own more than 10% of ACNB Corporation's outstanding equity stock to file initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of common stock and other equity securities of ACNB Corporation with the SEC. Based on a review of copies of the reports filed, and on the statements of the reporting persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements were complied with in a timely manner during 2022 except for Laurie A. Laub, Executive Vice President of ACNB Bank, who had one (1) late report for one (1) transaction.

#### PROPOSALS
Cumulative voting rights do not exist with respect to the election of directors. The five (5) nominees for Class 3 Directors receiving the highest number of "FOR" votes cast, in person or by proxy, by those shareholders entitled to vote will be elected directors of the Corporation.

For the election of directors in Proposal 1, you may vote "FOR" all of the nominees, or your vote may be "WITHHELD" with respect to one (1) or more of the nominees. For the other proposals, you may vote "FOR", "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN". If you "ABSTAIN", it has the same effect as a vote "AGAINST". If you sign your proxy card or broker voting instruction card, or vote via internet or telephone, with no further instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board ("FOR" all of the Board's nominees, in favor of the non-binding shareholder vote on executive compensation, in favor of an annual non-binding shareholder vote on executive compensation, and "FOR" all other proposals described in this proxy statement).

1. #### TO ELECT FIVE (5) CLASS 3 DIRECTORS TO SERVE FOR TERMS OF THREE (3) YEARS AND UNTIL THEIR SUCCESSORS ARE ELECTED AND QUALIFIED.
Nominees for Class 3 Directors are:

Kimberly S. Chaney

Frank Elsner, III

James P. Helt

Scott L. Kelley

Daniel W. Potts

 *The Board of Directors recommends a vote **FOR** the election of these nominees.* 

2. #### TO CONDUCT A NON-BINDING VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which was added by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) and the related rules of the SEC, we are including in these proxy materials a separate resolution subject to shareholder vote to approve, in a non-binding vote, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

The shareholders approved a resolution at the Corporation's 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to conduct an annual advisory vote on the Corporation's executive compensation for the Named Executive Officers.

As described in detail in this proxy statement, our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate, reward and retain our Named Executive Officers, who are critical to our success. We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for our Named Executive Officer compensation as described in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a "Say on Pay" proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our Named Executive Officer compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to vote "FOR" the following resolution at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders:

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

 **RESOLVED, that the Corporation's shareholders approve, on a non-binding basis, the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Corporation's Proxy Statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, the compensation tables, the narrative discussion, and the other related tables and disclosure.** 

The Say on Pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Corporation, the Compensation Committee, or the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders and, to the extent there is any significant vote against the Named Executive Officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we will consider our shareholders' concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

 *The Board of Directors recommends a vote **FOR** this proposal.* 

3. #### TO CONDUCT A NON-BINDING VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF NON-BINDING SHAREHOLDER VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which was added by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) and the related rules of the SEC, we are including in these proxy materials a separate resolution subject to shareholder vote to recommend, in a non-binding vote, whether a non-binding shareholder vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers should occur every one, two or three years. The text of the resolution in respect to this proposal is as follows:

 **RESOLVED, that the shareholders recommend, in a non-binding vote, whether a non-binding shareholder vote to approve the compensation of the Corporation's Named Executive Officers should occur every one, two or three years.** 

In considering your vote, you may wish to review the executive compensation information presented in this proxy statement. In addition, shareholders should note that the Board of Directors believes shareholders should be given the opportunity to approve the Corporation's Named Executive Officer compensation annually because an annual vote will allow shareholders to provide the Corporation with their direct input on the compensation philosophy, policies and practices as disclosed in the proxy statement every year and annual votes are consistent with the Corporation's policy of annually seeking input from, and engaging in discussions with, the shareholders on corporate governance matters and executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices.

*The Board of Directors recommends a vote for* ***ONE YEAR*** *on this proposal.* 

4. #### TO RATIFY THE SELECTION OF CROWE LLP AS ACNB CORPORATION'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2023.
The Board of Directors has approved the selection of Crowe LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the examination of its financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. Crowe LLP served as the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2022. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interest of ACNB Corporation and its shareholders.

Crowe LLP has advised us that neither the firm nor any of its associates has any relationship with the Corporation or its subsidiaries other than the usual relationship that exists between the independent registered public accounting firm and its clients.

We expect a representative of Crowe LLP to be present at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to respond to appropriate questions, and to make a statement if the representative desires to do so.

 *The Board of Directors recommends a vote **FOR** this proposal.*
