ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election
of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On November 17, 2016, the Board of Directors (the Board) of 1st
Constitution Bancorp (the Company) increased the size of the
Board from eight to nine members, effective January 1, 2017 (the
Effective Date), and elected Carmen M. Penta as a director of the
Company, effective as of the Effective Date, to fill the vacancy
on the Board resulting from such increase. Mr. Penta will serve
as a Class I director.
Mr. Penta was also elected to serve as a director of 1st
Constitution Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the
Bank), effective as of the Effective Date. Mr. Penta will serve
as a director of the Company until the Companys next annual
meeting of shareholders and until his successor is duly elected
and qualified and as a director of the Bank until the Banks next
annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor is duly
elected and qualified.
There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Penta and
any other persons to which Mr. Penta was selected as a director.
There are no transactions involving Mr. Penta requiring
disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
The Bank may make loans available to the newly elected director
and his affiliates, assuming such loans will be in compliance
with generally applicable credit standards at the time the loans
are made. All of these loans (i) would be made in the ordinary
course of business, (ii) would be made on substantially the same
terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other
persons, and (iii) would not involve more than the normal risk of
collectability or present other unfavorable features. The Bank
also may establish deposit relationships and engage in other
routine banking relationships with the newly elected director and
his affiliates, all of which would be on the same terms as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other
persons.
Mr. Penta will be compensated for his service on the Board in the
same manner as the other non-employee directors, as discussed in
the Companys proxy statement for its 2016 annual meeting of
shareholders, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission on April 22, 2016.
