Who is entitled to vote?

Holding the Company’s common stock on April ~~17, 2017,~~16, 2018, the record date, entitles the holder to attend and vote at the meeting. On the record date, ~~7,449,621~~7,474,003 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding. Each share of the Company’s common stock entitles its holder to one vote on all matters presented at the meeting. See “What vote is required to approve each proposal?” below.

On what am I voting?

You will be asked to elect two (2) Directors as Class 12 Directors to serve for three-year terms expiring in ~~2020~~2021 and to ratify the selection of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters to be presented for action at the annual meeting. If any other matter requiring a vote of the shareholders would be presented at the meeting, the proxies will vote according to the directions of the Company’s Board of Directors.

How does the Board of Directors recommend I vote on the proposals?

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote:

“FOR” the election of each of the nominees for Director listed in this proxy statement; and

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

How do I vote?

There are two methods. You may vote by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card or by attending the annual meeting and voting in person.

If you sign your proxy card but do not make any selections, your proxy will vote “FOR” the election of each of the nominees for Director listed in this proxy statement and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

How do I change my vote?

If you give the proxy we are soliciting, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised:

by voting in person at the annual meeting after giving written notice to Judith A. Hunsicker, Corporate Secretary.

A shareholder whose shares are held in “street name” should follow the instructions of his or her broker regarding revocation of proxies. You should note that your presence at the meeting without voting in person will not revoke an otherwise valid proxy.

What is a quorum?

The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company is necessary to constitute a quorum at the annual meeting. There must be a quorum for business to be transacted at the meeting. Abstentions are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but are not considered a vote cast under Pennsylvania law. Brokers holding shares in “street name” for their customers are generally not entitled to vote on certain matters unless they receive voting instructions from their customers. Such shares for which brokers have not received voting instructions from their customers are called “broker non-votes.” Under Pennsylvania law, broker non-votes will be counted to determine if a quorum is present with respect to any matter to be voted upon by shareholders at the meeting only if such shares have been voted at the meeting on a matter other than a procedural motion.

As of April ~~17, 2017,~~16, 2018, the record date, ~~7,458,611~~7,499,350 shares of common stock were issued and ~~7,449,621~~7,474,003 were outstanding. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares, or at least ~~3,724,811~~3,737,002 shares, must be present in person or represented by proxy in order to establish a quorum.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

Election of Directors

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Plurality means that the individuals who receive the largest number of “FOR” votes cast are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, the two (2) nominees for Class 12 Director receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes shall be elected as directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the election of directors. Shareholders may not vote their shares cumulatively in the election of directors. If any nominee should refuse or be unable to serve, the proxy will be voted for such other person as shall be designated by the Board of Directors. The Company has no knowledge that any of the nominees will refuse or be unable to serve if elected.

Other Proposals

Under the Bylaws of the Company, unless otherwise provided by law, a majority of votes cast by shares present, in person or by proxy, is necessary to approve other routine proposals or business properly presented at the meeting, including without limitation, the ratification of the selection of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect in calculating the votes on any such matters.

Who will count the vote?

The Judges of Election appointed by the Board of Directors will count the votes cast in person or by proxy at the meeting.

How are proxies being solicited?

The Company will bear its own cost of solicitation of proxies for the meeting. In addition to solicitation by mail, the Company’s Directors, Executive Officers and employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone, facsimile transmission or otherwise. These Directors, Executive Officers and employees will not be additionally compensated for their solicitation efforts, but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with these efforts. The Company will reimburse brokerage firms, fiduciaries, nominees and others for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of shares of common stock held in their names.

What is the deadline for shareholder proposals at next year’s annual meeting?

Any shareholder who, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, wishes to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for its ~~2018~~2019 annual meeting of shareholders must deliver the proposal in writing to the Secretary of Embassy Bancorp, Inc. at the Company’s principal executive offices at 100 Gateway Drive, Suite 100, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, not later than January 7, ~~2018.~~2019. Under Rule 14a-4(c)(1) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, if any shareholder proposal intended to be presented at the ~~2017~~2018 annual meeting without inclusion in our proxy statement was received at our principal executive offices after March ~~22, 2017,~~21, 2018, then a proxy will have the ability to confer discretionary authority to vote on the proposal.

Governance of the COMPANY

Director Independence

As of April ~~17, 2017,~~16, 2018, all but three members of the Board of Directors are considered independent as determined in accordance with the independence standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

In determining the Directors’ independence, in addition to matters disclosed under “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” below, the Board of Directors considered each Director’s beneficial ownership of Company common stock, loan transactions between the Bank and the Directors, their family members and businesses with whom they are associated, as well as any contributions made to non-profit organizations with whom they are associated.

Except with respect to the individuals noted above, in each case, the Board determined that none of the transactions impaired the independence of the Director. For more information, please refer to “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” below.

Leadership Structure of the Board

The Board has discretion to combine or separate the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Since June of 2009, David M. Lobach, Jr. has served as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of both entities. The Board

of Directors appointed Mr. Lobach to the additional position of Chairman believing that his service as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and the Company since their respective inceptions, as well as his role as a co-founder of the Bank, uniquely qualified him for this role. The Board of Directors believes that at this time, Mr. Lobach’s leadership in these capacities will ensure that management is aligned with the Board and positioned to effectively implement the business strategy endorsed by the Board.

The Board has not appointed a Lead Independent Director.

Role of the Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

The Board is responsible for providing oversight of the Company’s risk management processes and for overseeing the risk management function of the Company. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Board of Directors works closely with senior risk officers and meets at least bi-annually to review management’s assessment of risk exposure and the process in place to monitor and control such exposure. In addition, the Audit Committee meets no less than quarterly to review annual and quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, internal audits and loan reviews, and meets in executive session with internal auditors, the Company’s principal accountants, and the Chief Financial Officer, among others, to assess risk that may affect the entire Company.

Attendance at Meetings

The Board of Directors held twelve meetings in ~~2016,~~2017, and meets no less frequently than on a monthly basis.

During ~~2016,~~2017, each of the Directors attended over ~~80%~~90% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and the committees on which he/she ~~served.~~served, with the exception of Mr. Banko who attended 75%.

Each Director and nominee is expected to attend the annual meeting. All of the current Directors were present for the ~~2016~~2017 annual meeting of shareholders, with the exception of Mr. Banko III.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors met four times during ~~2016,~~2017, and operates pursuant to a written charter, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at www.embassybank.com under “Investor Relations”. The Audit Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Boyer, Englesson (Chairman), Pittman, Yurconic and Ms. Gates Smith. Mr. Lobach attends the committee meetings in a non-voting capacity. All voting members of the Audit Committee are considered independent as determined in accordance with the independence standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

The Audit Committee is charged with providing assistance to the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities to the shareholders in the areas of financial controls and reporting. Principally, these responsibilities entail assessing the effectiveness of the internal control system over financial reporting, reviewing adherence to policies and procedures and assuring the safeguarding of all Company assets and the accuracy of the Company’s financial statements and reports. In so doing, it is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to monitor and maintain the lines of communications between the Board of Directors, external auditors, internal auditors and the senior management of the Company. The external auditor shall be ultimately accountable to the Audit Committee. Additionally, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has unrestricted access to the Audit Committee.

The Board of Directors has determined that the Company does not have an “Audit Committee Financial Expert”, as defined by the SEC, serving on the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors believes that the members of the Audit Committee are able to read and understand consolidated financial statements of the Company, are familiar with the Company and its business, and are capable of fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of an Audit Committee without the necessity of having an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” as a member.

For further information regarding the Audit Committee, see the discussion under the caption: “Report of Audit Committee” below.

~~Other~~ ~~Committees;~~ Personnel Committee

~~The Company does not have any other standing committees.~~

The Bank’s Personnel Committee performs the functions of a compensation committee. When acting in such capacity, the duties of the Personnel Committee are as follows: to establish the compensation of officers and employees of the Company and Bank; to examine periodically the compensation structure of the Company; and to supervise welfare, pension and other compensation plans of the Bank and the Company. With respect to the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, (identified below), the Personnel Committee recommends to the full Board of Directors for its approval the compensation (both salary and bonus) of such persons based on, among other things, the following factors: the overall performance of the Company for the prior year; the amounts allocated in the Company’s budget toward compensation; and its review of the individual performance of the Named Executive

Officers. The Personnel Committee delegates to the Named Executive Officers the authority to establish the compensation of all other employees of the Company, within the parameters established by the Committee.

The Company did not engage the services of a compensation consultant in ~~2016.~~2017. As a member of the Personnel Committee, as well as President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lobach abstains from all voting and discussion with respect to matters pertaining to the compensation of the Named Executive Officers. The Personnel Committee does not operate under a formal charter.

Other Committees

The Company does not have any other standing committees.

Nominating Process

The Company’s Board of Directors does not have a standing nominating committee. The Bank’s Personnel Committee, however, reviews the qualifications of and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors of the Company regarding potential candidates to be nominated for election to the Board of Directors. The Personnel Committee is currently comprised of the following Directors: Messrs. Banko, Englesson, Lesavoy (Chairman) and Lobach.

The Personnel Committee does not have a charter. It considers the nomination of all candidates for Director on a case-by-case basis. The factors considered by the Personnel Committee include a candidate’s education, business and professional background and experience, banking experience, character and integrity. Additionally, the Company’s Bylaws require that every Director be a shareholder of the Company.

Due to the infrequency of nominations, the Company does not have a written policy with respect to the nomination of candidates by shareholders; however, in considering nominations for Director, its policy is to not distinguish between nominations recommended by shareholders and those recommended by the Personnel Committee. If any shareholder wishes to recommend any candidate for nomination to the Board, he or she should submit the name of such person to the Personnel Committee at the address shown on the cover page of this proxy statement. In order to be considered for nomination in connection with the next annual meeting of shareholders, such name and the candidate’s principal occupation, business and professional background, education and banking experience should be provided to the Personnel Committee on or before the deadline for submitting proposals for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for its next annual meeting.

Shareholder Communications

The Board of Directors does not have a formal process for shareholders to send communications to the Board of Directors. Investors wishing to communicate with the Board or any member may do so by addressing any communication, care of the Board or any Director, to the Company at the address shown on the first page of this proxy statement.

Code of Conduct (Ethics)

The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Conduct (Ethics) policy governing the Company’s Directors, Executive Officers and employees. The Code of Conduct governs such matters as conflicts of interest and use of corporate opportunity, financial reporting, violation of the Company’s policies, and the like. The Board has also adopted a Whistleblower Policy to provide a means by which employees may report violations or suspected violations of law or Company policies without fear of retaliation. The Audit Committee Chair is responsible for investigating and resolving such reports. A copy of the Code of Conduct (Ethics) policy and Whistleblower Policy are available on the Company’s website at www.embassybank.com under “Investor Relations”.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The Board of Directors of the Company has instituted a policy in connection with extensions of credit by the Bank to any director, officer or employee of the Company or Bank, or to any business entity in which a Director, officer or employee of the Company or Bank has a direct or indirect interest. These extensions of credit shall only be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons, and in the opinion of management do not involve more than the normal risk of collection or present other unfavorable features. At December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, total loans and commitments of approximately ~~$4.3~~$7.957 million were outstanding to our Executive Officers, Directors, and their affiliated businesses, which represented approximately ~~5.9%~~10% of our shareholders’ equity at such date.

In January 2003, an investment group comprised of insiders of the Company formed Red Bird Associates, LLC (“Red Bird”) for purposes of purchasing the office building in which the principal offices of the Bank and Company are located. Red Bird purchased the property subject to the existing leases of all tenants in the building, including the Bank. The previous owner of the building was unrelated to the Company, the Bank or any of the Directors. The original terms for the Bank’s lease were negotiated with the former owner in the year 2000. In ~~2012 and~~ 2017, the Bank and Red Bird agreed to extend the term through February 28, ~~2017 and February 28,~~ 2022 ~~respectively~~ on terms comparable for similar space in the Lehigh Valley area. Red Bird received rents for the Gateway Drive location totaling ~~$373,289~~$380,749 during ~~2016~~2017 and the Bank has an outstanding lease commitment to pay ~~$2,080,327~~$1,666,865 over the remaining term of the lease.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (referred to herein as the “Exchange Act”), requires Directors, Executive Officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC. Such persons are also required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

The Company believes that during the period January 1, ~~2016~~2017 through December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, its Directors, Executive Officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners timely filed all reports required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, except that Ms. Patti Gates Smith made one late filing during the month of March 2016 of a Form 3A Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities relating to transactions involving the distribution of shares held under the Elmer D. Gates Revocable Trust due to an administrative oversight.Act.

The Board of Director’s annual compensation decisions are the product of a multi-step process. Annual salary adjustments are determined in light of budgetary constraints and overall performance. Both cash and equity bonuses are completely discretionary and based upon an evaluation of both the employee’s and Company’s overall performance for the prior year.

In determining the amounts to be allocated toward compensation in the Company’s annual budget, generally, as well as the compensation to be paid to the Named Executive Officers, specifically, the Board of Directors and Personnel Committee have always placed a strong emphasis on the overall performance of the Company, its efficiency ratio (e.g., noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income), and the productivity ratios of total assets to employee, total loans to employee, total deposits to employee, and net income to employee (the “employee ratios”). The Board believes that the efficiency ratio and employee ratios are particularly important in determining compensation because it views such ratios as reasonable indicators of individual and team efforts. The Board also believes in running the Company for the long term and looks toward its management team to lead the Company’s future growth.

For the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, the Company’s team productivity benchmarks or employee ratios were in the very top quartile of performance in comparison to those institutions that the Company considers its peers (e.g., a total of 2820 Pennsylvania financial institutions with total assets ranging from $500 million to $1.1 billion). Importantly, it should be noted that those financial institutions the Company considers its peers have ~~63%~~66% greater overall average salary and benefit costs as a percent of average assets than that of the Company’s. When one considers this fact together with the return on investment on an employee-by-employee basis, as indicated by the employee ratios, the Board feels strongly that employees are fairly compensated for their efforts. In other words, because the Company has fewer employees supporting a greater number of assets, loans, deposits, and net income than the average of its peers, it is beneficial for the Company to pay such employees for their high level of expectations and resulting performance.

The Board of Directors believes that its compensation philosophy and the resultant compensation paid to the Company’s employees, and the programs and practices on which such compensation decisions are based, are reasonable and do not present any risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

More specifically, with respect to risk management, the Board believes that by allocating a significant percentage of an employee’s total compensation to salary, not linking annual incentive compensation to pre-determined annual performance criteria, and rewarding employees for their efforts on an employee-by-employee basis, the Company’s compensation program is fair to the Company and the employee, and any incentive for an employee to take unnecessary and excessive risk is adequately minimized.

Finally, and most importantly, the Board believes that its approach to compensation has enabled the Company to enjoy a stable team of highly engaged banking professionals who have continued to fine tune the Company’s unique business model, culture, and resulting performance.

The following table summarizes the compensation paid by the Company to Directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, for services rendered in ~~2015,~~2016, other than David M. Lobach, Jr., who did not receive compensation as a Director.

Pursuant to the Company’s Non-employee Director Compensation Program for fiscal year ~~2016,~~2017, each non-employee Director of the Company was entitled to receive annual compensation in the amount of ~~$18,000~~$23,000 payable at the election of the Director, in shares of Company common stock or a combination of cash and Company common stock; provided, that the cash portion of any such election shall be limited to fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of the annual fee. On November ~~18, 2016,~~17, 2017, the Board approved an increase to the annual compensation paid to each non-employee Director of the Company to ~~$23,000~~$27,000 effective with the ~~2017~~2018 fiscal year. Company common stock issued in payment of the annual fee is issued pursuant to the Embassy Bancorp, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan.

In order for a Director to be eligible to receive the annual fee, a Director must have attended at least seventy-five percent (75%) of all meetings of the Board of Directors and of the committee(s) on which he or she serves held during the subject year. In the event that the Director attends at least seventy-five percent (75%), but less than one hundred percent (100%), of all such meetings held during a subject year, the annual fee will be prorated accordingly. For example, if a Director attended eighty percent (80%) of all meetings of the Board and of the committee(s) on which he or she serves held in ~~2016,~~2017, he or she would be entitled to receive an annual fee equal to eighty percent (80%) of ~~$18,000,~~$23,000, or ~~$14,400.~~$18,400. If a Director attended seventy four percent (74%) of all such meetings held in ~~2016,~~2017, he or she would not be entitled to receive the annual fee.

Non-employee Directors of the Company and the Bank remain eligible to participate in the Embassy Bancorp, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. For information regarding the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, see “Executive Compensation – Equity Incentive Plans” below.

The following Executive Officers have been identified as our “Named Executive Officers”: David M. Lobach, Jr.-Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer; Judith A.

The Bank is party to an employment agreement, dated January 2006, with David M. Lobach, Jr., who is Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank. As amended, the agreement provides for perpetual employment until Mr. Lobach reaches the age of seventy, unless terminated for “cause” or otherwise as outlined in the agreement. Mr. Lobach currently

receives an annual salary of ~~$567,268,~~$601,304, plus a bonus which shall not exceed 30% of his salary, as may be awarded by the Board of Directors. Mr. Lobach’s salary may be adjusted as mutually agreed by Mr. Lobach and the Bank. Mr. Lobach’s ~~contract~~contact further provides for annual stock awards with an aggregate fair market value of not less than 30% of his salary. Mr. Lobach’s contract also provides that in the event his employment terminates as a result of a change in control of the Company or Bank, he will receive 500% of his base salary and bonus in five annual payments and his health and other fringe benefits shall be continued for five years, in exchange for restrictive covenants which prohibit him from entering into business relationships which infringe on the operation of the Bank. See “Change in Control Provisions” below.

The Bank is party to an employment agreement, dated January 2006, with Judith A. Hunsicker, who is Sr. Executive Vice President, Chief Operating and Financial Officer of the Company and the Bank. As amended, the agreement provides for perpetual

employment until Ms. Hunsicker reaches the age of seventy, unless terminated for “cause” or otherwise as outlined in the agreement. Ms. Hunsicker currently receives an annual salary of ~~$379,088,~~$416,996, plus a bonus which shall not exceed 30% of her salary, as may be awarded by the Board of Directors. Ms. Hunsicker’s salary may be adjusted as mutually agreed by Ms. Hunsicker and the Bank. Ms. Hunsicker’s ~~contract~~contact further provides for annual stock awards with an aggregate fair market value of not less than 30% of her salary. Ms. Hunsicker’s contract also provides that in the event her employment terminates as a result of a change in control of the Company or Bank, she will receive 500% of her base salary and bonus in five annual payments and her health and other fringe benefits shall be continued for five years, in exchange for restrictive covenants which prohibit her from entering into business relationships which infringe on the operation of the Bank. See “Change in Control Provisions” below.

The Bank is party to an employment agreement, dated February 2009, with Mr. Bartholomew, who is Executive Vice President of Commercial Lending. As amended, the agreement provides for a three year term with successive one year extensions, and at such salary and bonuses as shall be agreed by Mr. Bartholomew and the Bank. Mr. Bartholomew currently receives an annual salary of ~~$287,654~~$316,419 and a bonus as may be awarded by the Board of Directors. Mr. Bartholomew’s contract also provides that in the event his employment terminates as a result of a change in control of the Company or Bank, he will receive 300% of his base salary in a lump sum and his health and other fringe benefits shall be continued for one year, in exchange for restrictive covenants which prohibit him from entering into business relationships which infringe on the operation of the Bank. See “Change in Control Provisions” below.

Mr. Lobach and Ms. Hunsicker’s employment agreements are automatically renewed, in perpetuity, until the age of 70, unless earlier terminated (1) by the Bank for cause, (2) by voluntary resignation or disability of the executive, (3) upon written notice from the Board of Directors for any other reason, with such termination effective five years from the date of notice, or (4) under the change in control provisions discussed below. Mr. Bartholomew’s employment agreement is for a three year term beginning February 2009, and thereafter automatically continues such that there is never less than three years remaining in the agreement, unless terminated upon prior notice.

Because potential payments to be made to the foregoing executives in connection with a change in control of the Company would subject the executives to a 20% excise tax as a golden parachute, the executives will be entitled to receive an additional gross up payment under the employment agreements equal to the total excise tax imposed. In the event such payments are made, the Internal Revenue Code and regulations promulgated thereunder provide that the golden parachute payment and tax gross up payment would not be deductible by the Company.

The Bank has entered into Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan agreements (“SERPs”) with Mr. Lobach which provide for the payment of benefits upon retirement. Benefits accrue through a normal retirement age of 65. Currently, the SERPs provide for the Bank’s annual payment of $283,096 to Mr. Lobach, of which $140,000 in benefits accrue through a normal retirement age of 65 and $143,096 in benefits accrue through a normal retirement age of 70, and are payable upon retirement after he reaches the specified normal retirement age. Lesser benefits are provided for retirement prior to the specified normal retirement age. The annual benefit is payable in equal monthly installments continuing for a period of fifteen (15) years.

The Bank has also entered into SERPs with Ms. Hunsicker and Mr. Bartholomew, which provide for the Bank’s annual payment of ~~$213,570~~$227,453 to Ms. Hunsicker upon her retirement after reaching age 65 and ~~$135,049~~$143,827 to Mr. Bartholomew of which $119,629 in benefits accrue through a normal retirement age of 65 and ~~$15,420~~$24,198 in benefits accrue through a normal retirement age of 70 and are payable upon retirement after he reaches the specified normal retirement age. Lesser benefits are provided for retirement prior to age 65. The annual benefit is payable in equal monthly installments continuing for a period of fifteen (15) years.

Pursuant to the agreements, if it is determined that any payment to be made to the foregoing executives under these agreements is subject to an excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, the amounts payable to such executive under his or her agreement will be adjusted upward such that the executive will be in the same after-tax position as if no excise tax had been imposed.

The aforementioned employment agreements and SERPs with the Company’s Named Executive Officers all include change-in-control provisions which are designed to (1) assure the continuity of executive management during a threatened takeover; and (2)

ensure executive management is able to objectively evaluate any change in control proposal and act in the best interests of shareholders during a possible acquisition, merger or combination. The Bank designed the agreements to be part of a competitive compensation package, thereby aiding in attracting and retaining top quality executives.

For purposes of the employment agreements and SERPs, “change in control” is defined to mean a change in the ownership or effective control of the Bank or the Company, as described in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

With respect to Mr. Lobach and Ms. Hunsicker’s employment agreements, the executive is entitled to certain benefits if, at any time within two years after the change in control, any of the following triggering events occurs: (1) employment is terminated by

the Bank for any reason other than cause or disability of the executive; or (2) employment is terminated by the executive for his/her reason. When a triggering event occurs following a change in control, Mr. Lobach and Ms. Hunsicker would be entitled to five times the sum of the executive’s annual base salary plus bonus, payable in five annual installments beginning on the effective date of resignation or termination, as well as health and other fringe benefits for a period of five years.

With respect to Mr. Bartholomew’s employment agreement, the executive is entitled to certain benefits if, at any time within one year after the change in control, any of the following triggering events occurs: (1) if he is discharged or resigns because the duties, position or title are materially changed, or (2) if he is relocated 50 miles beyond Routes 512 & 22 in Bethlehem, PA. When a triggering event occurs following a change in control, Mr. Bartholomew would be entitled to receive three times the sum of his annual base salary in one lump sum, payable within one year following the effective date of resignation or termination. Mr. Bartholomew would also receive health and other fringe benefits for one year.

With respect to the SERPs, if the individual’s employment with the Bank is involuntarily terminated within two years after a “Change in Control” (as defined above) of the Company, payment thereunder will commence immediately in an amount equal to the amount which would have been payable as though the executive retired from service with the Bank upon attaining normal retirement age.

If the individual is determined to be a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), payments to such individual pursuant to the employment agreements and SERPs, other than payments qualifying as short term deferrals or an exempt separation pay arrangement under Section 409A, shall not begin earlier than the first day of the seventh month after the date of termination.

At the Company’s annual meeting on June 16, 2010, the shareholders approved the Embassy Bancorp, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “SIP”). The SIP authorizes the Board of Directors, or a committee authorized by the Board of Directors, to grant a stock award to (i) designated officers (including officers who are directors) and other designated employees at the Company and its subsidiaries, and (ii) non-employee members of the Board of Directors and advisors and consultants to the Company and its subsidiaries. The Board of Directors believes that the SIP will cause the designated participants to contribute materially to the growth of the Company. Awards issued under the SIP may take the form of incentive stock options as provided in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and deferred stock awards. The terms of the awards, including the vesting schedule, if any, will be determined by the Board (or committee) at the time of grant. All options granted under the SIP will not have a term in which it may be exercised that is more than ten years from the time the option is granted. Awards issued under the SIP vest automatically upon a change in control of the Company.

On January 1, 2017, the Company implemented the Embassy Bancorp, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual meeting held on June 16, 2016. Under the plan, each employee of the Company and its subsidiaries who is employed on an offering date and customarily is scheduled to work at least twenty (20) hours per week and more than five (5) months in a calendar year is eligible to participate. The purchase price for shares purchased under the plan shall initially equal 95% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of purchase. The purchase price may be adjusted from time to time by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the discount to fair market value shall not exceed 15%. ~~The Company has authorized 350,000 shares of its common stock for the plan, none of which were issued as of December 31, 2016.~~

The Company’s Audit Committee has recommended, and the Company’s Board of Directors has approved, the engagement of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, ~~2017, subject to ratification by the Company's shareholders.~~2018.

opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There were no disagreements with Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, is required to ratify the appointment of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect in calculating the votes on this proposal.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the selection of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP as independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the year ending December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the years ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015~~2016 was Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP and such firm is expected to be the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the current year. Representatives of the firm are expected to be present at the shareholder’s meeting for questions and will be given an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire.

Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and ensuring the independence of such firm.

The following fees were paid by the Company to Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP for services rendered in ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015,~~2016, respectively:

In addition, the Committee has discussed with Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed with the auditors, under PCAOB ~~Auditing Standard No. 16,~~AS 1301, which include, among other items, matters related to the conduct of the audit of the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP required by PCAOB Rule 3526, and has discussed with Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP its independence from the Company and its management with regard to all services provided.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the services rendered by Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP with respect to audit, audit related, tax and other fees are compatible with maintaining their independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form ~~10- K~~10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
