PROXY STATEMENT

 


Annual Meeting Information
This proxy statement contains information about the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”) to be held Tuesday, April 30, 2019, beginning at 9:00 a.m., at the H. Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center, 1871 Old Main Drive, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, and at any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting. This proxy statement was prepared at the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors to solicit your proxy for use at the Annual Meeting. This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy will be mailed to shareholders on or about March 22, 2019.
Who is entitled to vote?
Shareholders owning shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the “Company Common Stock”), as of the close of business on March 14, 2019 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. Each shareholder has one vote per share on all matters to be voted on. As of March 14, 2019 there were 9,481,969 shares of Company Common Stock outstanding.
On what am I voting?
You will be asked to:
(i) elect four (4) directors to Class B for three (3) year terms expiring in 2022;
(ii) approve a non-binding advisory vote regarding the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this proxy statement (“Say-On-Pay”); and
(iii) ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of Crowe LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.
The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters to be presented for action at the meeting. If any other matter requiring a vote of the shareholders would be presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxies will vote according to the directions of the Board of Directors.
How does the Board of Directors recommend I vote?
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote:
(i) “FOR” the election of each of the four nominees as directors to Class B named in this proxy statement;
(ii) “FOR” approval of the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this proxy; and
(iii) “FOR” ratification of the Audit Committee’s selection of Crowe LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.
How do I vote?
Sign and date each proxy form you receive and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you sign your proxy form, but do not mark your choices, your proxies will vote your shares represented by such proxy:
(i) “FOR” the four persons nominated for election as directors to Class B named in this proxy statement;
(ii) “FOR” approval of the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this proxy statement; and
(iii)  “FOR” ratification of the Audit Committee’s selection of Crowe LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.

1


You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised. To do so, you must give written notice of revocation to the Secretary, Orrstown Financial Services, Inc., 77 East King Street, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania 17257, submit another properly signed proxy with a more recent date, or vote in person at the Annual Meeting after giving notice to the Secretary. Please note that simply attending the Annual Meeting in person without voting will not revoke your proxy.
You are only entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting if our records show that you held shares of Company Common Stock as of the close of business on March 14, 2019. If your shares are held by a broker or other intermediary, you can only vote your shares at the Annual Meeting if you have a properly executed proxy from the broker or other intermediary which is the record holder of your shares.
What is a quorum?
A “quorum” is the presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares. There must be a quorum for the Annual Meeting to be held.
How are abstentions and broker non-votes counted?
Abstentions are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but are not considered a vote cast under Pennsylvania law.
A broker non-vote occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares on your behalf does not receive voting instructions from you. If that happens, the broker, bank or other nominee may vote those shares only on matters deemed “routine,” such as the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. On non-routine matters, such as the election of directors and Say-on-Pay, the broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote those shares unless they receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker has not received voting instructions and either declines to exercise its discretionary authority to vote on routine matters or is barred from doing so because the matter is non-routine. Broker non-votes are counted to determine if a quorum is present, but are not considered a vote cast under Pennsylvania law.
As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes are not included in the tabulation of the voting results on issues requiring approval of a majority of the votes cast and, therefore, do not have the effect of votes in opposition in such tabulation.
What vote is required to elect directors?
Directors are elected by a plurality of votes. Votes withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.
What vote is required to approve the other proposals?
A majority of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, assuming a quorum is present, is required to approve each of the other proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, are not treated as votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on whether or not a proposal is approved.
Who will count the vote?
The Judge of Election appointed by the Board of Directors will count the votes cast in person or by proxy.
What is the deadline for shareholder proposals for next year’s Annual Meeting?
Shareholders may submit proposals on matters appropriate for shareholder action at future annual meetings by following the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Company’s bylaws. Proposals intended for inclusion in next year’s proxy statement and proxy card must be received by the Company not later than November 26, 2019. In addition, in order to be considered for possible action by the shareholders at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”), proposals, including shareholder nominations for director, not included in the Company’s proxy statement must be submitted to the Secretary of the Company not later than November 22, 2019. All proposals should be addressed to the Secretary of the Company.
How are proxies being solicited?
In addition to solicitation by mail, the officers, directors and employees of the Company may, without additional compensation, solicit proxies by telephone or personal interview. Brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of Company Common Stock held by such persons and will be reimbursed by the Company for their expenses.

The following table shows the number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by each incumbent director, each nominee and each Named Executive Officer, and by all of the incumbent directors, nominees and executive officers of the Company as a group, as of March 14, 2019, based on information furnished by the persons named and the Company’s records. Except as otherwise indicated, sole voting power and sole investment power with respect to the shares shown in the table are held either by the individual alone or by the individual together with his or her spouse.

(1) On March 14, 2019, none of the individuals named in the above table may be deemed to beneficially own more than 1% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. On that date, all of the incumbent directors and executive officers as a group beneficially owned approximately 472,931 shares or 5.0% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Fractional shares beneficially owned by such individuals have been rounded down to the number of whole shares beneficially owned.
(2) The amounts shown reflect the number of shares of Company Common Stock that the indicated individuals and group have the right to acquire within 60 days of March 14, 2019 through the exercise of stock options granted pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans.
(3) Includes 220 shares held by Mr. Zullinger’s spouse.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers and the beneficial owners of more than 10% of Company Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of their equity securities of the Company with the SEC and to furnish the Company with copies of such reports. Based solely upon a review of these reports (Forms 3, 4 and 5 and any amendments thereto) furnished to the Company, we believe that during 2018 our directors and executive officers who were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, complied with all SEC filing requirements applicable to them. As of the date of this proxy statement, to the best of its knowledge, the Company did not have any beneficial owners of more than 10% of Company Common Stock.

PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 
The bylaws of the Company provide that the directors will serve in three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with each class of directors serving a three-year term of office. At each annual meeting of shareholders, a class of approximately one-third of all of the Company’s directors is elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting held in the third year following the year of their election and until their successors have been elected and qualified. Accordingly, at the Annual Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to elect four directors to Class B to serve until the annual meeting of shareholders in 2022 or until their successors are elected and qualified.
The Board of Directors has nominated the following persons for election as directors to Class B:
Mark K. Keller
Thomas R. Quinn
Michael J. Rice
Glenn W. Snoke
All nominees are presently serving as directors of the Company and the Bank.
If you return a properly signed and dated proxy form, your shares of Company Common Stock represented by your proxy will be voted FOR the election of the named nominees unless you mark the proxy form to withhold authority to vote for one or more of the nominees. If one or more of the named nominees is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, the persons named in the proxy will vote for the election of such substitute nominee, if any, as will be named by the Board of Directors. The Company has no reason to believe that any of the named nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director. Each named nominee has expressed a willingness to serve if elected.
The four named nominees for election of directors to Class B receiving the highest number of votes will be elected to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the election of each of the named nominees as directors to Class B. 
Nomination of Directors
In connection with the Annual Meeting, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has reviewed the qualifications of, and made recommendations regarding potential candidates to be nominated by the Board of Directors for election to the Board. The nominees named above were recommended by the Nominating and Governance Committee, then submitted to, and approved by, the Board of Directors as the four nominees for election as directors to Class B.
In addition to meeting the minimum criteria to serve as a director as outlined in the Company’s bylaws, the Nominating and Governance Committee has considered a variety of factors including each candidate’s integrity, independence, qualifications, skills, experience (including experience in finance and banking and diversity of experience in relation to other members of the Board of Directors), compatibility with other members of the Board of Directors, the strategic direction of the Company and the Bank, involvement in the communities served by the Bank and such other factors as it has deemed to be in the best interest of the Company, the Bank and the Company’s shareholders, which factors may change from time to time.
The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider the incumbent directors whose terms are expiring at the forthcoming annual meeting, other candidates, if any, recommended to it by shareholders, other qualified individuals within the community, including the Bank’s regional advisory boards, and any candidates nominated by shareholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Company’s bylaws. The criteria for consideration of board candidates nominated by the Company’s shareholders, if nominated in a timely manner, is the same as for other board nominees.
Director Eligibility Requirements. The Company’s bylaws provide for certain director eligibility requirements for a nominee to be eligible to become a member of the Board. All directors must hold at least 5,000 shares of Company Common Stock. Directors will have one year from the date they join the Board to meet this requirement. In addition, no one may be nominated to serve as a director of the Company if such person: (a) is under indictment or has been convicted of a crime involving a breach of trust with a penalty of imprisonment for more than one year; (b) has been issued within the past 10 years a non-appealable cease and desist order by a federal or state bank regulatory agency related to conduct involving dishonesty or breach of trust; (c) has been found guilty in a final decision, either by any federal or state regulatory agency of: (i) committing a willful violation of any law governing banking, securities, commodities or insurance, or any final cease and desist order issued by a banking, securities, commodities or insurance regulatory agency, or (ii) breaching a fiduciary duty involving personal profit; or (d) has been nominated by someone who is ineligible to serve as a director of the Company under requirements (a)-(c) listed above. In addition, the age of members of the Board is limited
5


to 75 years, provided that any director who reaches such age during his or her term of office may continue to serve on the Board until the expiration of their term with the prior approval of the Board.
No recommendations were received by the Nominating and Governance Committee in connection with this Annual Meeting from shareholders or others, nor, as of the date of this proxy statement, had any candidates been nominated by shareholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in the bylaws.
Any future nominations should be submitted in writing addressed to Orrstown Financial Services, Inc., 77 East King Street, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania 17257, Attn: Nominating and Governance Committee.
Shareholder nominations must be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Company’s bylaws and must include a statement setting forth the background, education and business experience of the nominee.
A copy of the Nominating and Governance Committee Charter is posted on the Company’s website at www.orrstown.com.
Biographical Summaries of Nominees and Directors
The Board of Directors believes that each of the nominees and directors possess such professional experience, recognized achievement in his or her respective field, involvement in the communities served by the Bank, ability to contribute to some aspect of the Company’s business and a willingness to make the commitment of time and effort required of a Company director. Information about the nominees for election as directors to Class B at the Annual Meeting and information about the directors in Class A and Class C demonstrating these characteristics is set forth below.

The Pennsylvania Banking Code requires that a bank president be a member of the bank’s board of directors.

In addition, the Board of Directors believes that the knowledge, experience and perspective Mr. Quinn possesses as a result of his service as a senior executive with Fifth Third Bancorp and Citigroup have been, and will continue to be, valuable to the Company as it continues to execute its strategic plan as a relationship based community bank.

At the ABA, he has been involved at the highest levels in all of the banking policy debates of recent years and he has a nearly unparalleled perspective on the issues facing the banking industry today, which the Board of Directors finds very valuable.
Director Independence
The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted the definition of “independent director” as set forth in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Stock Market and has determined that each director is independent under this rule, other than Mr. Quinn due to his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Under NASDAQ rules, employees of the Company are deemed not to be independent. In making this determination with respect to the remaining directors, the Board of Directors was aware of, and considered, the loan and deposit relationships and other transactions with directors and their related interests, which the Company or the Bank enters into in the ordinary course of business. Except as noted above and for loans, deposits, fiduciary and other similar relationships with the Company or the Bank, no director or any of his or her related interests has engaged in any transaction or series of transactions, or is involved in any relationships, as a result of which the director would not be independent under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

Shareholder Communications with the Board of Directors
The Company has a formal process by which shareholders may send communications to the Board of Directors. Our policy is to recommend that all correspondence from shareholders be addressed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who shares such correspondence with the Board of Directors. As a matter of practice, shareholder communications received by the Chief Executive Officer are included under the topic “Correspondence” with the Board of Directors’ meeting materials routinely furnished by management to directors in connection with meetings of the Board of Directors. In addition, shareholder communications determined by the Chief Executive Officer, at his discretion, to require immediate attention, also are promptly furnished by him to the Chairman. When and as appropriate, the Company seeks to provide a timely response to shareholder communications it receives.
Board Structure, Committees and Meeting Attendance
During 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company met 25 times and the Board of Directors of the Bank met 12 times. The Board of Directors of the Company has a Compensation Committee, an Audit Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee. During 2018, all of the directors, with the exception of Mr. Rosenberry, attended at least 75% of all meetings of the respective Boards and Committees on which they served. Due to health issues, Mr Roseberry attended 68% of the Company and 75% of the Bank meetings in 2018. As previously reported by the Company, Mr. Rosenberry has informed the Board that he will not seek re-election and his term will expire at the 2019 annual meeting.
With the exception of Mr. Quinn, all of the directors of the Company and the Bank are independent as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Stock Market. Leadership of the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank is entrusted to an independent Chairman. The Boards of Directors believe that this independent leadership structure helps to provide an appropriate check and balance on the influence of the executive management team generally and the President and Chief Executive Officer more specifically, particularly in consideration of the President and Chief Executive Officer’s membership on the Boards of Directors and Executive Committee. In addition, the directors generally have at least two meetings each year in which they meet in executive session without Mr. Quinn being present. The directors also may meet in executive session at additional times as necessary.
Compensation Committee.    The Compensation Committee discharges the responsibilities of the Board of Directors relating to the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee Charter is posted on the Company’s website at www.orrstown.com.
The Compensation Committee Charter provides that the Compensation Committee is to be composed of three or more members, each of whom is to be “independent” as defined in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2), an “outside director” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), Section 162(m) and a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The members of the Compensation Committee are to be appointed by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee.
The members of the Compensation Committee during 2018 were Floyd E. Stoner (Chair), Mark K. Keller, Eric A. Segal, Glenn W. Snoke, and Joel R.

Nominating and Governance Committee.    The Nominating and Governance Committee exercises general oversight with respect to the governance of the Board of Directors. It reviews the qualifications of and recommends to the Board of Directors proposed nominees for election to the Board. As discussed above, it also is responsible for evaluating and recommending to the Board corporate governance practices applicable to the Company and for leading the Board in its self-evaluation process. In 2018 the Committee conducted individual performance evaluations with each director. These evaluations include a self assessment by the director and disucssions with the full committee.
The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews its Charter annually and recommends proposed changes for Board approval. The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee during 2018 were Glenn W. Snoke, (Chair), Mark K. Keller, Thomas D. Longenecker, Eric A. Segal, and Joel R. Zullinger. Each Director serving on the Nominating and Governance Committee has been determined to be independent, an outside director and a non-employee director.

The Audit Committee Charter provides that the Audit Committee is to be composed of not less than three members, each of whom is to be “independent” as defined in NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5605(a)(2) and SEC Rule 10A-3(b)(1); has not participated in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements at any time during the past three years; and is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Company’s balance sheet, income statement, comprehensive income statement, and cash flow statement. In addition, at least one member of the Audit Committee is to have had current or past employment experience in finance or accounting, or other comparable experience or background, which results in the member’s financial sophistication as contemplated by NASDAQ Stock Market Rules.
Members of the Audit Committee for 2018 were Cindy J. Joiner, CPA, (Chair), Mark K. Keller, Thomas D. Longenecker, Andrea Pugh and Floyd E. Stoner. Each of the directors serving on the Audit Committee has been determined to be independent.

Audit Committee Report
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Audit Committee also has discussed with Crowe LLP, the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards, No 61, as amended (AICPA Professional Standards, Vol. 1 Section 380) as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T; received from Crowe LLP the written disclosures and letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Crowe LLP’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Crowe LLP, that firm’s independence. In that regard, the Audit Committee has considered whether the provision by Crowe LLP of certain limited permissible non-audit services in addition to its audit services is compatible with maintaining that firm’s independence and has determined that they are independent. Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons
During 2018, some of the directors and executive officers of the Company and the Bank, members of their immediate families and some of the companies with which they are associated, had banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with the Bank and may have similar transactions in the future. These transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral requirements and repayment terms, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features to the Company.
Any business dealing, including extensions of credit, between the Company or the Bank and a director of the Company or the Bank, or with any entity controlled by such a director, other than a deposit, trust service or other product or service provided by the Bank in the ordinary course of business, is required to be reviewed and approved by a majority of the disinterested directors. In considering a proposed insider transaction, the disinterested directors are to reasonably determine whether the transaction would be in the best interest of the Company or the Bank and on terms and conditions, including price, substantially the same as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-insiders.
Extensions of credit by the Bank to a director of the Company or of the Bank, or to a related interest of such a director, are subject to Federal Reserve Board Regulation O. Although Regulation O requires the prior approval of such an extension of credit by the Bank’s disinterested directors if the aggregate amount of all extensions of credit to such director and the related interests of the director would exceed $500,000, the Company requires prior approval of all such extensions of credit.

Directors’ Fees.    During 2018, each director of the Company and the Bank was paid an annual fee of $53,000. Fees are paid quarterly on the first business day of the months of January, April, July and October. In addition, the Board Chair was paid a stipend of $13,000. Stipends for the Vice Chairman $11,000 and Secretary $9,000 were paid in 2018, however, these stipends were discontinued effective January 1, 2019.
Restricted Stock Award. In August 2018, non-employee Directors were granted shares of Company Common Stock as part of their 2018 compensation. A $25,750 equity award in the form of 1,000 shares of Company Common Stock was granted to all Directors on August 23, 2018. Mr. Zullinger received 500 additional shares, or $12,875, to compensate him for his role as Board Chairman. These awards were granted with a one-year vesting restriction.
Deferred Compensation Plan.    In 1995, the Company and the Bank established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for directors and executive officers. Participation in the plan is voluntary. Each participant may elect each year to defer all or a portion of his or her directors’ fees or, in the case of an executive officer, compensation. Directors deferring compensation must begin withdrawals from the plan by age 75 or termination of service as a director, whichever occurs later. Executive officers must begin withdrawals by age 65 or retirement, whichever occurs later. Payments may be made in equal monthly or annual installments over not more than ten years. Immediate distributions may be made in the event the Company would experience a hostile takeover, an acquiring bank or bank holding company would fail to approve the plan, or the Bank, or any acquiring bank or bank holding company, would experience bankruptcy. If a participant would die before payment of his or her entire account, the Company will pay the balance to his or her beneficiary in a single lump sum payment. The amounts deferred are invested in a rabbi trust with the trust department of the Bank as trustee. The participants direct the investment of their own accounts among various publicly available mutual funds designated by the Bank’s Trust Investment Committee. Growth of each participant’s account is a result of investment performance and the public markets and is not a result of an interest factor or interest formula established by the participant or by the Company or the Bank. In 2018, Mr. Snoke deferred $10,000 of his director fees.
Directors Retirement Plan.    The Bank has entered into director retirement agreements with Ms. Pugh, Ms. Joiner, and Messrs. Keller, Longenecker, Rosenberry, Segal, Snoke, Stoner, and Zullinger. Each director retirement agreement provides the respective director with a normal retirement benefit in a specified amount, payable in 120 consecutive monthly installments commencing the month following the director’s termination of service after having reached the normal retirement age of 65. Generally, the amount of a director’s annual normal retirement benefit is intended to approximate the amount of his or her directors’ fees during the year in which he or she became a party to a director retirement agreement, projected to the normal retirement age of 65 based upon annual increases of four percent. For every complete plan year after normal retirement age and before termination of service, the amount of the annual benefit will increase by four percent. In 2018, the Board has determined that there will be no new director retirement benefits offered to current or future directors.
A director will forfeit his or her benefits under his or her director retirement agreement if the Bank terminates his or her service for gross negligence or gross neglect of duties, commission of a felony or gross misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or fraud, disloyalty or willful violation of any law or policy committed in connection with the director’s service resulting in an adverse effect on the Bank or if the director, after termination of service (other than following a change in control of the Bank), competes with the Bank within a 50 mile radius of its main office in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. The Bank also would not be obligated to pay any benefit under a director retirement agreement to the extent the benefit would constitute an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.
If a director is in active service of the Bank at the time of a change in control of the Bank, as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the director will be entitled to begin receiving his or her normal retirement benefit following the later of the director’s termination of service or attaining normal retirement age. The director retirement agreement provides for an early termination benefit in a specified amount in the event of an early termination of service before normal retirement age, a disability benefit in the event of an early termination of service due to disability and a death benefit.
The amount of the cash expense associated with director retirement plans includes  contributions to deferred compensation plans and increases in 2018 in the net present value of the accrued benefit under the directors retirement agreement is reported in the 2018 Director Compensation Table for each participating director in the “Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” column.
Brick Plan.    Mr. Zullinger participates in a so-called “brick plan” that provides Mr. Zullinger or his beneficiaries with a monthly cash benefit for a period of 10 years beginning at age 65. The change in the net present value of Mr. Zullinger’s accrued benefit under his brick plan from 2018 is reported in the 2018 Director Compensation Table above in the “Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” column. Under the brick plan, Mr. Zullinger’s annual benefit, which is fully vested, would be $21,804.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Principles
The Company’s compensation and benefits programs and policies are, for the long term, intended to provide fair, reasonable and competitive levels of compensation and benefits in order to recruit, motivate, reward and retain qualified executive officers in order to generate long-term value for the Company’s shareholders.
The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") believes a well-designed compensation program provides incentives to achieve desired results, helps retain and attract talent, and discourages excessive risk-taking. This section describes how we view compensation going forward and why we make the decisions that we do. The Committee believes that successful application of the guiding principles, outlined below, requires program design that balances risk and reward. The Committee believes that judgment, flexibility and discretion are critical to its ability to deliver effective incentive compensation that focuses on both current period performance results and long-term value creation for the shareholders. The principles that guided our compensation decisions can be summarized are as follows:
1. Pay for performance;
2. Align executive compensation with the long-term interests of our shareholders;
3. Encourage focus on the long-term success of the Company and discourage excessive risk-taking; and
4. Provide competitive compensation opportunities to attract, retain and motivate executives.
The Company's Executive Incentive Plan has historically been based directly on Company performance metrics, including net income and return on equity. It is the intention of the Compensation Committee to ensure that the plan does not encourage executive management to take excessive risk in the future. Additionally, if the Committee deems that management did expose the Bank to excessive risks, there is appropriate “claw-back” language in the incentive compensation plan guidelines to address the situation in subsequent years.
Compensation Structure.    We compensate our executive officers through a combination of base salary, annual cash incentives, equity-based compensation, and other benefits. Base salaries are set at levels competitive within the industry and the local market area in order to attract and retain executive officers who possess the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to successfully execute their duties and responsibilities.
13


As further detailed below, the incentive compensation program is structured to align our executives’ bonus opportunities with the financial performance of the Company, as well as to reflect individual contribution and success. In addition to cash, a portion of the executives’ earned bonus will be paid in restricted stock, further aligning management with the interests of the shareholders.
Health and welfare benefit programs are provided to executive officers on the same terms and conditions as all other employees and are intended to be competitive within the industry and the local market area.
Process for Determining Executive Compensation.    The Compensation Committee and management participate in the determination of executive compensation programs and practices. Generally, the Compensation Committee is responsible for carrying out the responsibilities of its charter, including but not limited to establishing, implementing and monitoring adherence to the Company’s compensation philosophy. The Compensation Committee seeks to ensure that the total compensation paid to our executive officers is fair, reasonable and competitive.
Management’s role in determining executive compensation programs and practices consists of developing proposals regarding program design and administration for the Compensation Committee’s review and approval. Management also is responsible for making compensation recommendations each year, typically in the form of salary adjustments, short-term incentive targets and awards, and long-term incentive grants. The Compensation Committee, comprised entirely of independent directors, makes and approves recommendations regarding the compensation of Mr. Quinn, our President and CEO.
  Disclosure of Role of Compensation Consultants and Potential Conflicts of Interest Assessment. From time to time, the Compensation Committee also uses outside compensation consultants. A compensation consultant generally reviews, analyzes and provides advice about the Company’s executive compensation programs in relation to the objectives of those programs, including comparisons to designated peer group companies, along with information and advice on competitive compensation practices and trends, and specific views on the Company’s compensation programs.  
Compensation Consultant Engagement. As a result of feedback from shareholders during the 2018 proxy season, the Compensation Committee engaged the services of a compensation consultant to review all aspects of the compensation practices of the Company. The firm of Pearl Meyer was engaged in June of 2018 with their final report being delivered to the committee in October of 2018. As a result of this engagement, the committee recommended, and the board subsequently approved, the following actions:
aSet minimum share ownership requirements for the CEO, CFO and CRO at 1x their annual base salary.
bDetermined that future discretionary equity awards will generally have both time and performance vesting measures.
cUpdated the Company's peer group to reflect current position of Orrstown vs. a group of peer companies.
Benchmarking of Compensation Levels.    In making compensation decisions for 2018, the Compensation Committee reviewed market data related to base salary, annual bonus and total compensation from the most recent public information available for the peer group below. While initial consideration is given to banks in PA, MD, NJ, NY, and VA, with assets between $1 and $5 billion, the Compensation Committee narrowed this list to a peer group of banks which met the following basic criteria:
Commercial banks;
Having assets of approximately $1.2 to $4.6 billion, compared to Orrstown, which had approximately $1.9 billion in assets as of December 31, 2018 with a $500 million acquisition pending;
Domiciled in the states of PA, MD, NJ, NY and VA; and
Having similar business models, including a commercial banking focus, wealth and/or mortgage businesses.
Applying these criteria resulted in these 21 institutions it believed to be most closely comparable to that of the Company.
ACNB Corporation American National Bankshares, Inc.Arrow Financial Corporation
BCB Bancorp, Inc. Bryn Mawr Bank CorporationC&F Financial Corporation
Chemung Financial Corporation Citizens & Northern CorporationCNB Financial Corporation

Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc.People's Financial Services Corp.
Shore Bancshares, Inc. Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc.Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania
The Company reviewed the data from this peer group and other industry surveys. The Company did not use a formulaic approach to benchmarking compensation for individual job positions. The Compensation Committee also considered data related to three year average total compensation for executive officer positions, as that is a metric available through SNL Financial for banks in the Mid-Atlantic region with assets between $1 billion and $5 billion.

2018 Compensation Decisions.    The Compensation Committee met 5 times in 2018. In December of 2018, the Committee reviewed and recognized management’s efforts in successfully executing the strategic plan of the Company. The Committee recognized that, through these efforts, the Company announced two acquisition, closed one, executed a subordinate debt offering and improved the earnings significantly over 2017. As part of this year end review process, the Committee reviewed the projected performance awards under the executive incentive compensation plan, and discussed discretionary awards.
Base Salary.    Base salaries for executive officers have been determined based upon a comparison of the Company to competitive market data, as well as individual performance and contributions. In determining the level of base salary, an individual’s personal performance in achieving previously established goals is a contributing factor. On April 25, 2018, the Committee met to discuss base salaries for all the executive officers, and approve salary adjustments for the entire organization. The Committee approved base salaries for the executive officers as follows: Quinn - $519,378, Boyle - $326,999, Metz - $267,903, Coradi - $223,736 and Fague - $237,915.  
Incentive Compensation Plan.    In 2013, the Compensation Committee approved changes to the Executive Incentive Guidelines, which were intended to reflect changes in market practice, plan design and internal considerations regarding incentive compensation at the Company. The program was structured to provide cash bonuses based on a combination of Company performance and individual contributions. For 2018, it was decided that Company performance would be defined as performance versus budgeted net income and return on equity compared to cost of capital, including the following measures and attributes:

Return on equity (ROE) compared to the Company’s cost of capital;
Performance to Budgeted Net Income Target;
Claw-back provisions; and
Multi-year payouts.
This set of measures was chosen to effectively balance incentivizing management on core operating measures, linking annual incentives to measures that, in the aggregate, create shareholder value, and taking into account resultant risk. The 2018 plan had the following payment structure:
50% of earned incentive paid in cash; and
50% of earned incentive paid in restricted stock with 3 year cliff vesting (subject to claw-back).
The target payout under the 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan was 50% of the executive’s base salary. This payout would be scaled (adjusted) upward or downward depending upon the performance of the Company as it relates to the metrics evaluated. The metrics were budgeted net income and return on equity, which were equally weighted at 50%.  In assessing the Company's performance relative to each of the performance measures for purposes of determining payouts under the plan, the Committee considered the impact of non-recurring expenses associated with 2018 acquisition activities. After considering such impact, the Committee determined it to be appropriate and equitable to exclude the impact of the acquisition activity on budgeted net income and return on equity, since including such charges would only serve to penalize the plan participants for executing the strategic plan articulated by the Board. Accordingly, the results for 2018 used as inputs to determine incentive payout were adjusted upward from the reported financial statements to exclude the impact of acquisition costs and results of operations from the Mercersburg acquisition.
The following tables represent the target net income and target return on equity as approved by the Compensation Committee and the performance relative to the targets, and outlines the corresponding payout scale as a percentage of base salary:

Long-term Incentives.    At the 2018 Annual Shareholder Meeting, the shareholders approved an amendment to the   Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan of 2011 (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) which, among other things, increased the number of shared available under the plan by 500,000 to 881,920. The purpose of this plan is to promote the long term success of the Company and the creation of shareholder value by:
providing additional incentives to those officers and key employees who are in a position to contribute to the long term growth and profitability of the Company;
assisting the Company to attract, retain and motivate key personnel with experience and ability; and
linking employees receiving share based awards directly to shareholder interests through increased stock ownership.
The Compensation Committee, on behalf of the Board of Directors, administers the Stock Incentive Plan, and determines the number of shares to be granted, as well as the relevant terms and conditions of each grant. Grants of shared based awards, including restricted stock, to officers of the Company and other key employees are based on criteria established by the Compensation Committee, including past performance, job duties, scope and responsibilities, and contributions to overall Company performance.
The Compensation Committee has discretion over the number of shares or shares covered by option grants awarded at any given time, subject to the conditions and restrictions of the Stock Incentive Plan. See the table below titled “2018 Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table” for restricted stock grants made to Named Executive Officers in 2018. 
401(k) Plan.    The Bank maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of eligible employees. The Bank makes annual matching contributions of up to 50 percent of employee contributions under the plan, up to three percent of an employee’s annual compensation.
Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Benefit Programs.    The Bank has established salary continuation plans and group term replacement plans for certain of its executive officers. The purposes of these programs are to provide to those executive officers an economic incentive for long term service to the Company and the Bank. The Compensation Committee believes that these programs are competitive with those offered by other banks of similar size on a regional basis.
The Bank has established salary continuation plans for certain of its executive officers including Messrs. Quinn, Boyle, Coradi and Fague, in order to provide them with supplemental retirement income (the “Salary Continuation Agreements”). The purpose of the plans is to provide an incentive to such persons to continue in the employ of the Bank.
The Bank also has established an officer group term replacement plan (split dollar plan) in which Messrs. Quinn and Fague participate. This plan provides participating officers with a life insurance benefit equal to two times current salary with no cap. Under the plan, the officer receives the same coverage as he currently receives under the Bank’s group term plan but at less cost to the Bank while the officer is employed. The officer receives continued coverage after retirement for a small annual charge. The post-retirement coverage will approximate two times annual salary (but not exceed the net coverage purchased).
As noted above in connection with director compensation, the Company also has established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for directors and executive officers, but no executive officer made any deferrals pursuant to that plan in 2018.
Executive Employment Agreements.    The Company extended executive employment agreements to Messrs. Boyle, Coradi, and Fague, which continue until May 2020 and Mr. Metz until March 2021. The minimum base salaries are Boyle $326,999, Metz $267,903, Coradi $223,736, and Fague $237,915. During the period of employment and for the greater of six months following such termination of employment or the period of severance payments, but not to exceed 24 months, each executive agrees not to directly or indirectly engage in business competition with the Company or the Bank with respect to its services, products, processes, customers, methods of doing business and similar matters within a 75 mile radius of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. In addition, during this period, each executive will not solicit or attempt to solicit, divert or appeal to any employees, customers, clients or referral sources of the Company, the Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries.
The Company extended an executive employment agreement with Mr. Quinn, which continues until June 25, 2022. The minimum annual base salary is $519,378. During the term of the agreement, the Company will cause Mr. Quinn to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Bank and to nominate him to serve as a director of the Company. During the period of employment and for one year thereafter, Mr. Quinn agrees not to directly or indirectly engage in business competition with the Company or the Bank with respect to its services, products, processes, customers, methods of doing business and similar matters within a 75 mile radius of the Company’s then current headquarters. In addition, during this period, Mr. Quinn will not solicit or attempt to solicit, divert or appeal to any employees, customers, clients or referral sources of the Company, the Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries.
Change in Control Benefits.    In conjunction with the executive employment agreements, the Company and the Bank entered into a Change in Control Agreement with Messrs. Quinn, Boyle, Metz, Coradi, and Fague. The purpose of each agreement is to promote the interests of the Company and the Bank by mitigating the concerns for job security, authority or compensation in connection with a potential change in control of the Company or the Bank, such that the business and strategic decisions the Executives may make on behalf of the Company and the Bank may be made independently of such concerns. The Compensation
17


Committee believes that providing change in control benefits is competitive with the practices of its peers. The key terms and conditions of the change in control arrangements are described below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”
Risk Management.    We believe that the Company’s compensation programs and practices for its employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Annual incentive compensation is wholly subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the independent directors. Similarly, not only is long-term incentive compensation in the forms of restricted stock and stock options also subject to Compensation Committee and independent director discretion, it also reflects a modest portion of total compensation at lesser levels than among the Company’s peers. With respect to those employees whose compensation may involve a variable component, such as lenders and investment counselors who are paid, in part, based upon production, we believe the aggregate absolute amount of such compensation is not material to the Company and that the Company’s internal controls further mitigate the risks that otherwise might be incurred as a result of such activities and compensation practices.
Tax and Accounting Considerations.    The Company takes into account the tax and accounting implications in the design of its compensation programs. For example, in the selection of long-term incentive instruments, the Compensation Committee reviews the projected expense amounts and expense timing associated with alternative types of awards. Under current accounting rules (i.e., Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718), the Company must expense the grant-date fair value of share-based grants such as stock option awards, restricted stock, performance shares, and stock appreciation rights settled in stock. The grant-date value is amortized and expensed over the service period or vesting period of the grant. In selecting appropriate incentive devices, the Compensation Committee reviews appropriate expense analyses and considers the related tax and accounting issues.
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places an annual limit on the tax deduction for certain compensation paid in excess of $1 million to the Chief Executive Officer and the three most highly compensated executive officers of a corporation. All of the compensation the Company paid in 2018 to the Named Executive Officers is expected to be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Whether all elements of compensation paid by the Company in future years will be fully deductible is dependent upon many factors as required by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations. Such factors include the aggregate level of taxable income received by an executive in each year, the structure of various compensation plans, the manner in which incentive compensation goals are established and a determination of satisfaction of those goals, and the relationship between the Company and the directors serving on the committee determining the performance goals related to incentive compensation and the satisfaction of such performance goals. The Compensation Committee retains the flexibility to pay both compensation that will be fully deductible and compensation that may not be deductible in structuring the Company’s compensation programs in its actions to promote the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Upon a change in control of the Company, some portion of the severance payments paid to our Executives may exceed the deductible limitations under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Compensation Committee believes that this flexibility in structuring compensation to our Executives is in the best interest of our shareholders.
Under the executive incentive compensation program effective for 2018, there are in place forfeiture and/or claw-back provisions for the repayment of incentive compensation in the event of excessive risk impacting financial performance and restatement or adjustment of the performance measures in the future after incentive awards have been made. The Company did not utilize provisions for repayment of incentive compensation for 2018 due to restatement or adjustment of the performance measures. The Company does not currently maintain stock ownership guidelines or equity incentive retention guidelines for its Named Executive Officers (unless they also serve on the Board of Directors), but generally such officers hold personal investments in the Company’s stock. The Company does not have any policies regarding hedging strategies applicable to the Named Executive Officers or directors and their personal investments in Company stock.
Shareholder Advisory Votes on Compensation.    At the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company’s shareholders approved an advisory vote on its executive compensation policies and practices ("Say on Pay") as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the proxy statement by more than 66% of the shares voting on the matter.  At the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, a majority of the shareholders approved an advisory vote recommending that such Say on Pay vote be taken annually. The Company continues to follow this advisory vote on the annual frequency of such Say on Pay votes.

Methodology for Determining Median Employee Compensation
The Company, through use of payroll and other internal records, accumulated all compensation paid to all employees consistent with compensation calculated using Item 402(c)(2)(x) of SEC Regulation S-K (the "Total" column in the 2018 Summary Compensation Table). Compensation was annualized for permanent full- and part-time employees who were not employed for the entire fiscal year.
The date chosen for identifying the median annual employee compensation was December 31, 2018.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
Salary Continuation Agreements. The Bank has entered into Salary Continuation Agreements with Messrs. Quinn, Boyle, Coradi and Fague. The Salary Continuation Agreements provide the executive officers with certain specified benefits upon a separation from service as a result of normal retirement, early termination, disability, death or a change in control. In the event of early termination by the Company other than for cause, or by the executive, unrelated to a change in control transaction and prior to reaching normal retirement age, the executive would receive the accumulated benefit described in the 2018 Pension Benefit Table.
Benefits are payable in monthly installments over a 15 year period beginning within 60 days following the executive officer’s separation from service upon or after the executive reaching normal retirement age, within 60 days following the executive officer reaching normal retirement age in the cases of early termination and change in control, or within 60 days after separation from service in the case of disability. Under the Salary Continuation Agreements, the amount of the normal retirement benefit when combined with Social Security and amounts available under the Bank’s 401(k) and profit sharing plans is intended to provide the executive officer with retirement income equal in amount to 70 percent of final annual salary. The Salary Continuation Agreement with Mr. Quinn provides for an annual normal retirement benefit of $400,000 at age 65; Mr. Boyle of $240,000 at age 65; Mr. Coradi of $100,000 at age 65 and Mr. Fague of $73,000 at age 65.
In the event of an early separation from service or a separation from service due to disability prior to normal retirement age, the amount of the benefit under the plan will be actuarially reduced from the normal retirement benefit. In the event of a change in control, the amount of the benefit will be the amount of the normal retirement benefit. In the event an executive officer dies while in active service, the officer’s beneficiary will be entitled to receive the normal retirement benefit payable in monthly installments over a 15 year period. In the event an executive officer dies after benefit distributions have commenced, the Bank will continue to distribute the remaining benefits to the officer’s beneficiary at the same time and in the same amounts as would have been distributed to the executive officer had he or she survived.
Benefits under the Salary Continuation Agreement will be forfeited by an executive officer who is terminated for cause, or if the executive officer commits suicide within 2 years after the effective date of the Salary Continuation Agreement; if an insurance company which issued a life insurance policy covering the executive officer and owned by the Bank denies coverage because of misstatements of fact made by the executive officer on an application for life insurance; if the executive officer is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by a federal banking agency pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; or the executive

officer becomes interested as a sole proprietor, partner, substantial shareholder, officer, director, or employee in a competitor of the Bank within a 50 mile radius of the Bank’s headquarters in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.
Executive Employment Agreements.    As detailed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, the Company previously entered into an executive employment agreement with Mr. Quinn providing for a term continuing until 2023, and with Messrs. Boyle, Coradi, Metz and Fague for terms continuing until 2021.
Such employment agreements provide for a term of either three or five years, plus an annual extension of such term for an additional year, unless the executive is given at least sixty days notice of non-renewal. The agreements provide that if the executive is still employed upon attaining age 65, such executive will provide notice of retirement in which event the executive will receive salary continuation for a period of six months plus payment of 150% of the premium cost to maintain the executive’s group life insurance benefit for a period of three years. Such mandatory retirement may be delayed upon Board approval in one year increments.
In the event that the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company or the Bank during the term of the agreement without cause, or by executive for “good reason” as defined in the agreement, then the executive will be paid severance equal to his or her base salary plus the average cash bonus amount received during the past three years for a period equal to the greater of the remaining term of the agreement or six months. The executive would also be entitled to continue to participate in employee benefit plans for six months or receive a cash contribution in lieu thereof.
Termination by the executive for good reason shall include if: (i) there has occurred a material breach of the employer’s material obligations under the agreement; (ii) the employer, without executive’s prior written consent, changes or attempts to change in any material respect the authority, duties, compensation, incentive compensation, benefits or other terms or conditions of executive’s employment, or executive’s reporting structure, in a manner that is adverse to the executive; or (iii) the employer requires executive to relocate his or her principal business location 75 miles or more from the employer’s then current headquarters.
During the period of employment and for the greater of six months following such termination of employment or the period of severance payments, but not to exceed 24 months, each executive agrees not to directly or indirectly engage in business competition with the Company or the Bank with respect to its services, products, processes, customers, methods of doing business and similar matters within a 75 mile radius of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. In addition, during this period, each executive will not solicit or attempt to solicit, divert or appeal to any employees, customers, clients or referral sources of the Company, the Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries.
The following table summarizes potential benefits for Messrs. Quinn, Boyle, Metz, Wallace and Fague, under their employment agreements, in the event of a termination of their employment unrelated to a change in control transaction if such termination had occurred on December 31, 2018.

(2) Estimated benefits contribution expense for six months post-termination.

Change in Control Benefits.  The Company and the Bank entered into Change in Control Agreements, concurrent with the Employment Agreements, with Messrs. Quinn, Boyle, Coradi, Metz, and Fague. The Change in Control Agreements provide that the Company and the Bank are to pay to the executive the specified amounts of cash compensation and provide the specified health and welfare benefits in the event that the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company or Bank or any successor, without cause, within two (2) years after the occurrence of a change in control or if such termination is initiated by the Executive for any reason within six months following a change in control.
Under the Change in Control Agreement, a “change in control” shall be deemed to occur if: (i) any person or group of persons acting in concert, shall have acquired ownership of more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company; (ii) the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company shall have changed such that, during any
24


period of 12 consecutive months during the term of the Change in Control Agreement, the majority of such Board is replaced by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company, who were in office before the appointment or election; (iii) any person or group of persons acting in concert acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition) ownership of 30 percent or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; or (iv) any person or group of persons unrelated to the Company acting in concert acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition) ownership of a portion of the Company’s assets that has a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40 percent of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company before the acquisition or acquisitions, with the asset values determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.
The Change in Control Agreements provide that upon a termination pursuant to a change in control, the Company and the Bank are obligated to pay to the executives cash compensation in an amount equal to 2.99 times (1) annual base salary, plus (2) the highest annual cash bonus and other annual incentive cash compensation awarded over the past three years before the calendar year in which the termination of employment occurred. Payment of this cash compensation is to be made in a single lump sum within fifteen (15) days after the termination of employment.
The Change in Control Agreements further provide that upon a change in control, if the plans governing the vesting and exercise rights of stock options, shares of restricted stock and other equity-based compensation units are silent on the subject of change of control, all such options, shares and units shall immediately become vested and exercisable as to all or part of the shares and rights covered thereby.
The Change in Control Agreements further provide that upon a termination pursuant to a change in control, the Company and the Bank are obligated to provide to the executive for a specified term the life, disability, medical/health insurance and other health and welfare benefits in effect with respect to the executive immediately prior to the termination pursuant to the change in control. For each executive, the term is two years. The executive, however, will continue to be responsible for the costs of such benefits to the same extent as other similarly situated active employees of the Bank and the executive’s spouse and/or eligible dependents will continue to be covered on the same terms that they were covered prior to the termination of employment.
The Change in Control Agreements further provide that in the event any benefit or payment from the Company to the Executive shall be deemed to be an “Excess Parachute Payment”, as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, then the aggregate present value of amounts or benefits payable to Executives shall be reduced to the greater of (i) the highest aggregate present value of the amount due under the agreement that can be made without causing any payments or benefits to be an Excess Parachute Payment or (ii) the largest portion of the amount due under the agreement that after taking into account all applicable state and federal taxes, including any taxes payable pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, results in a greater after-tax benefit to the Executive than the after-tax benefit to the Executive calculated under (i) above.
If the executive’s employment is terminated following a change in control, for the greater of (i) six months following termination of employment or (ii) the one year anniversary of the change in control, each executive agrees not to directly or indirectly engage in business competition with the Company or the Bank with respect to its services, products, processes, customers, methods of doing business and similar matters within a 75 mile radius of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. In addition, during this period, each executive will not solicit or attempt to solicit, divert or appeal to any employees, customers, clients or referral sources of the Company, the Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries.
The following table summarizes potential change in control benefits for each of the Named Executive Officers. For the purposes of this table, we assumed a change in control of the Company and a termination of employment by the surviving company without cause (or a resignation by the executive for any reason), and that both events occurred on December 31, 2018.

PROPOSAL 2 - ADVISORY VOTE ON COMPENSATION PAID TO
NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (“SAY-ON-PAY”)

A Non-Binding Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation Paid to Our Named Executive Officers
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, requires us to hold a shareholder vote to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the SEC’s rules and regulations. This vote is commonly referred to as the Say-On-Pay vote. As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the vote sought by this proposal is advisory and is non-binding on the Board of Directors. The Company’s shareholders voted at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to hold this vote on executive compensation annually. The vote is non-binding, however, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors values the opinions expressed by our shareholders and will carefully consider the outcome of the vote in connection with future compensation decisions for our Named Executive Officers.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors believes that our executive compensation program achieves our intended objective to provide fair, reasonable and appropriate levels of compensation and benefits in order to recruit, motivate, reward and retain qualified executive officers and generate long term value for the Company’s shareholders. Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to vote FOR approval of the non-binding advisory vote on compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this proxy statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and narrative accompanying the tables.
The Board of Directors believes the following key aspects of our executive compensation program support our recommendation to vote FOR approval of the non-binding advisory vote on compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers:
Fair, Reasonable and Appropriate Levels of Compensation.    A study conducted by the Compensation Committee found that overall cash compensation levels for our Named Executive Officers were in line with the competitive market median and long-term incentive awards were within a competitive range of the market. Furthermore, the Company provides limited benefits and perquisites to our executives.
Pay and Performance Alignment.    The Compensation Committee believes that increases in salaries, incentive bonus payouts and stock option and restricted stock awards, when made, are consistent with our performance in relation to our operating plan and the performance of our peers.
Risk Mitigation.    We strive to have a risk appropriate compensation program. We believe that our mix of pay, which is balanced, and our incentive arrangements, which are not highly leveraged, promote a risk-appropriate environment for compensating our executives.
Long-term Incentive Strategy.    The strategy of granting equity awards is to balance a mix of restricted stock and or stock options, both of which will have multi-year vesting criteria. This reflects the Compensation Committee’s desire to increase the emphasis of our executive compensation program on achieving long-term performance, as well as to bolster the retentive effects of our stock-based compensation awards.
Additional details on our executive compensation programs and practices and the rationale for decisions made are set forth in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section of this proxy statement, including the Summary Compensation Table and supporting tabular and narrative disclosures.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is necessary for the approval of the non-binding advisory vote on compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers as described in this proxy statement. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on whether or not this proposal is approved.
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR approval of the non-binding advisory vote on compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.
