About Orrstown

Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. (NASDSAQ: ORRF) is the holding company for Orrstown Bank, which traces its roots to the year 1919 and the town of Orrstown, Pennsylvania, and Wheatland Advisors, Inc. Today, Orrstown is a trusted financial partner of more than 87,000 clients with a product offering that includes a full suite of retail and commercial banking services as well as wealth management.

Starting in 2012, the Bank began proactively addressing credit quality issues and emerged a much stronger organization. The table below demonstrates our growth since then in terms of scale, geographic reach, and work force expansion.

Strategic Highlights of the Past Five Years
Following the Company’s recovery from the great recession, its Board of Directors and Management determined that prudent risk management called for diversification. The Company began the process of geographic expansion while varying the exposures within the Company’s loan portfolio. The growth of the organization began in earnest in 2015 and continues through the present.
2015: Investments in customer-facing talent to take advantage of market disruption
Reorganized under Regional Market President structure to ensure autonomy and local decision making as the Bank began to expand:
Hired a Lancaster County Market President and began commercial lender team acquisitions from larger, more sophisticated, financial institutions
Began LPO and branching efforts in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Hired an experienced Treasury Management team

2016: Continued investments in talent and support infrastructure
14 new client-facing hires
Continued our expansion in Lancaster County and opened a regional office and branch in greater Harrisburg area (Dauphin County)

2017: Reaped rewards of previous investments
Continued organic expansion with double digit loan and deposit growth
Improved efficiency ratio by 870 basis points
Net interest margin improvement

2018: M&A activity and continued organic growth
Announced two whole bank acquisitions, Mercersburg Financial Corporation and Hamilton Bancorp, Inc.
Continued organic growth with three new branches in Lancaster County and LPO in York County
Net income improvement of +40% year over year
Closed the Mercersburg transaction in Q4

2019: Integration of acquired banks and build out of Maryland market
Successful core conversion of Mercersburg in Q1 and exceeded 45% expense reduction goal
Closed Hamilton transaction in Q2 and successful core conversion in Q3
Market President for Maryland region joined in July
Reinvested Hamilton cost saves into new commercial banking team of eight
New Chief Financial Officer joined in July
Announced closure of five underperforming financial centers and sale of ~50,000 square feet of excess operational capacity(1)

(1) Five branches were closed effective 1/31/2020. Sale of operations center scheduled for the second quarter of 2020.

Investments in our Employees
We understand that our employees are the key to our current and future success. Our investment in human capital extends beyond hiring the best talent we can attract. We offer a full suite of competitive employee benefits. Our Learning & Development team has expanded over the past several years to train and retain best-in-class bankers. Associated with that effort, we engage in career development for our employees, helping to map each stage of their time with Orrstown to realize their potential.
Employee Benefits Include:
Choice of traditional “Blues” plan or high deductible plan with employer funded HSAGym in our Harrisburg Regional Office (more than 100 employees at this facility)
Dental and Vision coverage included in both program choicesDiscounts on outside gym memberships, private weight loss coaching, healthy cooking classes, etc.
Family friendly organization: availability of flex hours and/or work from home (role dependent)Discounts on stress reduction classes, acupuncture, chiropractic, yoga, pilates and tai chi
Short and Long Term Disability plansAll workspaces and campuses are non-smoking
Group life insurance FSA/Dependent care program
Employee Assistance program (mental health counselling)Generous paid time off program, including paid time off for part time employees
Orrstown University (conducted more than 800 learning sessions in 2019)Promoting work/life balance is written into our strategic plan
Employee Stock Ownership ProgramTuition reimbursement program

Equally important to our growing organization is the development of a diverse work force, including an emphasis on women and minorities in positions of leadership. In 2019, Orrstown initiated a formal mentor/mentee program to encourage internal development of future leadership talent. Orrstown has an equal Employment Opportunity plan with goals for hiring and promotion. We met the goals of the plan in 2018 and 2019.
Cybersecurity Posture
Protecting Against Known Threats
Security is most effective when implemented in layers. Although no single implementation or practice is impenetrable, many layered together creates a strong weave of protection. Orrstown endeavors to employ the latest in threat intelligence automation, firewalls, intrusion prevention, and anti-malware technologies to protect the Bank against external threats. Orrstown also recognizes that insiders can do as much damage to the safety and privacy of client information as the external threats, whether accidental or malicious. To help protect against the malicious insider, Orrstown employs the principle of least privilege, meaning that access to only what is absolutely necessary to accomplish a job role is granted to the user. Additionally, Orrstown invests in controls designed to ensure that sensitive information is not accidentally or purposely lost or stolen by insiders.
Protecting Against Unknown Threats
Orrstown understands that threats evolve and as such we need to be able to detect anomalies that may indicate a new attack vector. Additionally, we recognize preventative controls cannot thwart every insider abuse. Therefore, Orrstown utilizes multiple layers of detective controls including, but not limited to, behavior monitoring and reconciliation processes.

Board Overview
The independence and skill set of the Board of Directors is crucial to the continued success of Orrstown. The Board evaluates needed skill sets through the use of a matrix which evaluates Board members and prospective Board members for specific expertise such as, but not limited to, accounting, risk management, technology, and market or regional knowledge. More than half of the directors have led companies headquartered within Orrstown’s market areas and represent significantly different industry backgrounds. Aside from sitting on the Board of Orrstown, 36% of the Board have extensive careers in financial services. Ten of eleven directors, or 91%, meet the regulatory definition of an “independent director.” For more information on the Board, go to page 10.
Executive Compensation Highlights
For the year 2019, Orrstown exceed the targeted thresholds for net income and ROAE for the incentive compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers (NEOs). As such, payouts were above target. Additionally, given the unusual level of effort required to successfully convert two acquired banks’ core systems and integrate the banks culturally, including but not limited to risk and sales cultures, the Compensation Committee viewed NEOs discretionary bonuses as warranted. However, the 2019 compensation plan was implemented to prior to receiving the nonbinding Say-on-Pay vote from shareholders.
The 2019 Say-on-Pay vote was 57% in favor. Subsequently, the Company began implementing a comprehensive shareholder outreach plan. As a result of shareholder engagement, the Compensation Committee determined it was appropriate to:
Make a portion of long-term incentives performance-vesting;
Use different performance measurement metrics for performance-vesting awards and those linked to incentive compensation tied to more backward-looking criteria; and
Refrain from the use of discretionary bonuses in 2020.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements:
This proxy statement contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements reflect the current views of the Company's management with respect to, among other things, future events and the Company's financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “goal,” “target,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative variations of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company's industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond the Company's control. Accordingly, the Company cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to continue to successfully execute on our strategic growth plan into Dauphin, Lancaster, York and Berks counties, Pennsylvania, and the greater Baltimore market in Maryland, with newer markets continuing to be receptive to our community banking model; to take advantage of market disruption; to experience sustained growth in loans and deposits or maintain the momentum experienced to date from these actions; and to realize cost savings from our branch consolidation efforts. Factors which could cause the actual results of the Company's operations to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to: ineffectiveness of the Company's strategic growth plan due to changes in current or future market conditions; the effects of competition and how it may impact our community banking model, including industry consolidation and development of competing financial products and services; the integration of the Company's strategic acquisitions; the inability to fully achieve expected savings, efficiencies or synergies from mergers and acquisitions, or taking longer than estimated for such savings, efficiencies and synergies to be realized; changes in laws and regulations; interest rate movements; changes in credit quality; inability to raise capital, if necessary, under favorable conditions; volatilities in the securities markets; deteriorating economic conditions; expenses associated with pending litigation and legal proceedings; and other risks and uncertainties, including those set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the Company's underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what the Company anticipates. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict those events or how they may affect it. In addition, the Company cannot assess the impact of each factor on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this proxy statement are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that the Company or persons acting on the Company's behalf may issue.

This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy will be mailed to shareholders on or about March 19, 2020.
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 12, 2020 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 12, 2020, there were 11,165,802 of Company Common Stock outstanding.
On what am I voting?
You will be asked to:
(i)elect three (3) directors to Class A for three (3) year terms expiring in 2023;
(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, 2020.
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 three nominees as directors to Class A 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

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 12, 2020. 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 19, 2020. In addition, in order to be considered for possible action by the shareholders at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2021 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 19, 2020. All proposals should be addressed to the Secretary of the Company. In order to be considered timely under the Company’s bylaws, a shareholder nomination for director must be received by the Secretary of the Company by December 29, 2020.
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. The Company will pay the cost of preparing, printing, mailing and soliciting proxies. 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.

On March 12, 2020, 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 445,605 shares or 4.0% 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.

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 2019 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.

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 three directors to Class A to serve until the annual meeting of shareholders in 2023 or until their successors are elected and qualified.
The Board of Directors has nominated the following persons for election as directors to Class A:

Cindy J. Joiner, CPA
Eric A. Segal
Joel R. Zullinger

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 three named nominees for election of directors to Class A 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 A.
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 three nominees for election as directors to Class A.
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 to 75 years, provided that any director who
10


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.

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 2019, the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank both met 12 times. The Board of Directors of the Company has a Compensation Committee, an Audit Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee. During 2019, all of the directors attended at least 75% of all meetings of the respective Boards and Committees on which they served.
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 Board of Directors believes 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.

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.
13


Members of the Audit Committee for 2019 were Cindy J. Joiner, CPA (Chair), Robert A. DeAlmeida, Mark K. Keller, Thomas D. Longenecker and Andrea Pugh. Each of the directors serving on the Audit Committee has been determined to be independent.
In addition, the Board of Directors, has determined that Cindy J.

Audit Committee Report
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons
During 2019, 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.
14


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. Refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on the Company's related party transactions.

Mr. DeAlmeida joined the boards of the Company and the Bank on May 1, 2019.
Director Fees
During 2019, each director of the Company and the Bank was paid an annual fee of $53,000, except for the Board Chairman who received $66,000. Mr. DeAlmeida received total payments of $35,333 in 2019, which represents his pro-rata share based on the date he joined the Boards. Fees are paid quarterly on the first business day of the months of January, April, July and October.
Restricted Stock Awards
In August 2019, non-employee Directors were granted shares of Company Common Stock as part of their 2019 compensation. An equity award of 1,000 restricted shares of Company Common Stock was granted to all Directors on August 28, 2019 with a grant date fair value of $21,020. Mr. Zullinger received 1,500 restricted shares, with a grant date fair value of $31,530, 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
15


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. The Company may make contributions on behalf of directors to this rabbi trust from time to time.
The Company’s accrued benefit obligations related to this plan totaled $1.8 million at December 31, 2019.
Director Retirement Plan
The Bank has entered into director retirement agreements with Ms. Pugh, and Messrs. Keller, Snoke 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 determined using 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 with 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 determined there would 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 expense associated with the Director Retirement Plan includes increases in 2019 in the net present value of the accrued benefit under the directors’ retirement agreement and is reported in the 2019 Director Compensation Table for each participating director in the “Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” column. The Company's accrued benefit obligations related to this plan totaled $1.6 million at December 31, 2019.
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 during 2019 is reported in the 2019 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 became fully vested following his service as a director for the five-year period beginning August 1, 1982, would be $21,804 as of December 31, 2019.

(1)
Tangible book value is a financial measure determined other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Refer to Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Measures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information regarding our use of non-GAAP measures, including a reconciliation of the calculation of tangible book value (a non-GAAP measure) to book value (the most directly comparable GAAP measure).

Overall, Orrstown’s 2019 performance exceeded targeted expectations for both net income and return on average equity (“ROAE”), while successfully integrating two acquisitions, converting the Company’s trust operating system, and welcoming 144 new associates.
2019 Compensation Highlights
Our fiscal year 2019 results and compensation decisions continue to illustrate the application of our pay-for-performance philosophy, with pay being driven by performance in the following ways:
Fiscal Year 2019 Base Salary. Except for increases in connection with promotions and new hiring, NEOs received a 3.0% increase to base pay, in-line with a cost of living increase.
The fiscal year 2019 Annual Incentive payout was above target. The combined weighted average payout for the NEOs was 117.0% of the target amount.
Adjusted net income (1) for 2019 was $20.4 million, resulting in cash and stock awards payable under the plan at 116.6% of target with respect to this performance metric.
Adjusted ROAE (1) for the period was 11.3%, resulting in cash and stock awards payable under the plan at 117.4% of target with respect to this performance metric.
(1)
Adjusted net income and ROAE exclude the impact of non-recurring expenses associated with 2019 acquisition and branch consolidation activity.
Response to 2019 Say-on-Pay Vote
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. All of the structural elements of our NEOs’ 2019 compensation program were determined prior to the 2019 advisory vote of executive compensation (“Say-on-Pay”). Though Say-on-Pay votes are nonbinding, our Board and the Compensation Committee take the opinions of our shareholders very seriously and consider feedback from the shareholders when making decisions. At the 2019 annual shareholder meeting only approximately 57% of the votes cast were in favor of our advisory Say-on-Pay proposal. While the 2019 Say-on-Pay proposal was approved by a majority of votes cast at the meeting, the 57% approval fell short of our goal and expectations, prompting us to initiate a constructive dialogue with our shareholders on the subject of executive compensation.
We offered engagement opportunities to 93 of our shareholders, representing 48.3% ownership of our outstanding shares; 60 shareholders representing 33.3% ownership, accepted our offer. The Company’s Chairman or the Chairman of the Compensation Committee attended meetings with shareholders who represented 33.0% of the outstanding shares. All meetings were attended by a member of the Board of Directors.
There were diverse views regarding pay structure provided by shareholders, generally dependent on whether the given shareholder was more interested in the dividend growth of the Company, in a position of “permanent capital” (i.e. index fund manager), or active institutional money manager. The consensus view held that there needed to be greater disclosure surrounding not only the components of compensation but also the Board’s rationale behind each component. That said, there were some majority views, and our Compensation Committee dedicated considerable time reviewing our compensation programs to design a framework that was more
18


directly performance-based to be implemented beginning in 2020. In order to address shareholder’s suggestions about the performance-based approach to compensation, we adopted modifications to our compensation programs, as summarized below, which are being implemented in 2020. These changes are applicable to all NEOs.

What We Heard
Modifications Beginning in 2020
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) only time vests
Half of LTIP will vest based on performance as measured at the end of a three-year period
LTIP and Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP) use same metrics for measurement
STIP and portion of LTIP that performance vest will use different metrics for performance measurement
Some Change of Control Agreements are single triggered
Going forward, all newly awarded Change of Control Agreements will have a double trigger

Aside from asking for greater disclosure surrounding the rationale behind the use of discretionary bonuses, shareholders did not explicitly comment about the validity of discretionary bonuses. However, the Compensation Committee’s interpretation of comments surrounding performance vesting resulted in a commitment to refrain from awarding discretionary bonuses in 2020.
HOW WE SET COMPENSATION
Role of Compensation Committee in Setting Named Executive Officer Compensation
Our Compensation Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, is responsible for overseeing the development and approval of compensation and benefits amounts paid to our NEOs and non-employee directors, and administering our incentive plans, which includes the determination of grant amounts and vesting terms of awards under such plans. In addition, our Compensation Committee is responsible for the development and approval of employment agreements with our NEOs. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for determining whether our executive compensation policies are reasonable and appropriate, meet the stated objectives of those policies and effectively serve the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. Our Compensation Committee has discretion to approve, disapprove or modify recommendations made by our Chief Executive Officer. However, our Chief Executive Officer is not present during deliberations or voting by our Compensation Committee relating to his compensation.
Role of Compensation Consultant
Pursuant to its charter, our Compensation Committee may, at its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice and assistance of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser. Our Compensation Committee may retain or obtain the advice of an adviser only after taking into consideration factors related to that person’s independence from management, including each of the factors it is required to take into consideration under the Corporate Governance Standards under NASDAQ Rule 5600, subject to limited exceptions. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of any adviser it retains. The Company is obligated to provide appropriate funding for the compensation of any such adviser.
In October 2019, at the behest of the Compensation Committee, we engaged an independent executive compensation consultant, Korn Ferry, to provide guidance on shareholder outreach efforts. A fundamental component of Korn Ferry’s engagement was to assess whether changes the Compensation Committee enacted aligned with the feedback provided in our shareholder engagements. As previously mentioned, structural changes recommended by the Compensation Committee, and subsequently approved by the Board were effective as of January 1, 2020.

2019 COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Overview
Our compensation philosophy is designed to retain talent and align pay with performance of the Company. The following table lists and describes the purpose of the key elements of 2019 compensation for our NEOs:
Element of PayDescriptionPurpose
Base SalaryFixed cash compensationTo attract and retain key executive talent by providing a stable source of compensation for services rendered during the fiscal year
Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP)Performance-based cash payment based on financial, operational, and strategic metricsTo motivate executive officers to achieve the Company’s annual strategic and financial goals and reward individual performance
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)Performance-based share awards with multi-year vesting periods; award sizes are based on financial metricsTo align long-term interests of executives and shareholders and provide appropriate balance of at-risk compensation that incentivizes long-term value creation and retention
Discretionary BonusesCash payments made to recognize financial, operational, and strategic successTo award NEOs for individual performance and contributions that aided the Company in achieving strong performance or were extraordinary
Supplemental Employee Retirement Plans (SERP)Includes deferred compensation plans and salary continuation plansTo provide NEOs an economic incentive for long-term service to the Company
Limited PerquisitesCar allowances and/or club membership duesTo defray the NEOs’ expenses for recruitment or client entertainment and reduce the Company’s mileage reimbursement expense
The STIP and LTIP were earned on performance metrics measuring 2019 results and adjusted on a payout scale depending on performance relative to targeted metrics. The STIP was paid in cash in 2020 and capped at 25% of the NEO’s base salary, which is lower than the previous year. The Compensation Committee decided that any amount earned in the STIP greater than 25% of the NEO’s base salary would be awarded in restricted stock in 2020, with a three-year cliff vesting, to better align management with shareholder interests. The LTIP was paid in restricted stock in 2020 with a three-year cliff vesting.
The Company has claw-back provisions in place for losses arising from individual instances of fraud or malfeasance, including legal costs. Additionally, if the Bank were ever not to be considered “well-capitalized” as defined by U.S. banking regulations, all unvested LTIP awards are subject to automatic claw-back. The Compensation Committee has discretion over other circumstances that may trigger a claw-back provision.
Benchmarking of Compensation Levels
In making compensation decisions for 2019, 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. This peer group did not change from 2018 to 2019. While initial consideration was 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 billion to $4.6 billion, compared to Orrstown, which had approximately $2.4 billion in assets as of December 31, 2019;
Domiciled in the states of PA, MD, NJ, NY and VA; and
Having similar business models, including a commercial banking focus, wealth management and trust and/or mortgage businesses.
20


Applying these criteria resulted in the following 21 institutions believed to be most closely comparable to the Company:
ACNB CorporationAmerican National Bankshares, Inc.Arrow Financial Corporation
BCB Bancorp, Inc.Bryn Mawr Bank CorporationC&F Financial Corporation
Chemung Financial CorporationCitizens & Northern CorporationCNB Financial Corporation
Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc.Evans Bancorp, Inc.First Community Bancshares, Inc.
First United CorporationMid Penn Bancorp, Inc.Old Line Bancshares, Inc.
Peapack-Gladstone Financial CorporationPenns Woods Bancorp, Inc.People's Financial Services Corp.
Shore Bancshares, Inc.Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc.Univest Financial Corporation
The Compensation Committee reviewed the data from this peer group and other industry surveys. The Compensation Committee 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 S&P Global Market Intelligence for banks in the Mid-Atlantic region with assets between $1 billion and $5 billion.
Components of Our Compensation Program
Base Salary
Base salaries for our NEOs are designed to compensate each executive for the experience, education, responsibilities and other qualifications of the executive that are essential to the specific role the executive serves within the organization. Our NEOs base salaries for 2019 were determined by pre-existing employment agreements.
2018 Base Salary ($)2019 Base Salary ($)Year-Over-Year Change (%)
Thomas R. Quinn, Jr.514,723  530,165  3.2
Thomas R. Brugger(1)

Robert G. Coradi221,731  245,382  10.7
Philip E. Fague236,480  242,857  2.7
(1) Mr. Brugger has an annual salary of $325,000. The 2019 amount above is indicated from his starting employment date.
As previously mentioned, base salaries for NEOs increased in-line with the Company’s cost of living increase for employees. The one exception was Mr. Coradi. In anticipation of the closing of the Hamilton transaction, the Compensation Committee realized the Company would be larger and more geographically diverse with a more complex and robust Enterprise Risk Management requirement. Mr. Coradi’s base salary increase was deemed commensurate with the additional responsibilities of his position and in-line with roles at companies of a similar size.
Annual Incentive Plan
The Company’s Annual Incentive Plan was created to motivate executives, promote strong corporate growth, and ultimately align executive pay with company performance. The Annual Incentive Plan provides cash and equity opportunities through the STIP and the LTIP, respectively. The Annual Incentive Plan was last approved by our shareholders at our 2018 annual meeting and made available 881,920 shares available for award.
Both the STIP and LTIP are based on achievement of financial goals as established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each fiscal year. For 2019, the Committee selected net income and ROAE as the operative financial metrics. The Committee also set challenging performance targets that align with the Company’s overall business strategy. If corporate results are above or below the targets, payouts for executives are adjusted based on a performance range.
21


For 2019, the threshold, target, and maximum award opportunities under the Annual Incentive Plan available to NEOs is described in the table below.
Threshold Opportunity
(37.5% of base salary)
Target Opportunity

Maximum Opportunity (75% of base salary)

Philip E. Fague91,071121,429182,143
(1) Mr. Brugger’s amounts are indicated using his starting employment date.
Any awards earned under the Annual Incentive Plan are then paid out in both cash and equity following completion of the fiscal year. For 2019, the Committee determined to cap the cash portion of the award at 25% of the NEO’s base salary. The remaining portion of the award was provided in equity and granted in the year following the performance period. For example, if the CEO earned the maximum award opportunity $397,624, $132,541 (representing 25% of the CEO’s base salary) would be paid in cash while the remaining $265,083 would be granted in time-based equity. The equity grant will cliff vest after a three-year period. Additionally, Mr. Quinn and Mr. Brugger received a discretionary restricted stock grant with a grant date fair value of $73,815 and $21,090, respectively. The awards cliff vest after three years and are subject to claw-back provisions.
In assessing the Company's performance relative to each of the performance goals for purposes of determining payouts under the plan, the Compensation Committee considered the impact of non-recurring expenses associated with 2019 acquisition and branch consolidation activities. After considering such impact, the Compensation Committee determined it to be appropriate and equitable to exclude the impact of the acquisition and branch consolidation activity on target net income and ROAE, since including such charges would only serve to penalize the plan participants for successfully executing the strategic plan articulated by the Board.
The following table represents the Net Income and ROAE targets as approved by the Compensation Committee and the corresponding payout scale as a percentage of base salary:

Equity granted under the Company’s incentive compensation plan is subject to the Company’s anti-hedging and anti-pledging provisions covered in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy. Board members, executive officers, and related persons are prohibited from purchasing, selling, or making any offer to purchase or offer to sell, derivative securities relating to securities of the Company or to enter into private contracts removing the economic risk associated with owning the Company’s securities from the Board member, executive officer, or related persons. Board members, executive officers, and related persons are prohibited from pledging the Company’s securities in a loan of any kind, including, but not limited to, a margin loan or a Non-Purpose Loan as defined by Regulation U.
Discretionary Cash Bonus
In 2019, the Compensation Committee approved discretionary cash bonuses to certain NEOs. Overall, 2019 was a very successful year for the Company. The Company increased total assets by 23.2%, total loans by 31.8%, and total deposit balances by 20.3% from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019. The Company completed the acquisition of Hamilton and converted the Mercersburg and Hamilton core systems to the Company’s systems. This was a significant undertaking and critical to the ongoing success of the Company. Additionally, the Company upgraded its trust operating system in 2019. All of these factors, combined with solid financial performance as measured by net income, resulted in a 27.9% total return for shareholders. Discretionary cash bonuses were awarded as follows during 2019:
23


NameAmount ($)Discretionary Bonus as % of Base Salary
Adam L. Metz5,000  1.8 %
Robert G. Coradi5,000  2.0 %
Mr. Metz and Mr. Coradi received a discretionary cash bonus in recognition of their work surrounding conversion related efforts for the Hamilton acquisition.
The Compensation Committee believes that discretionary cash bonuses represent the best opportunity for rewarding NEOs for their individual efforts to advance the Company’s strategic initiatives. As circumstances change throughout the year, there may arise occasions that require extraordinary effort and time to resolve. Working through these challenges can be taxing directly on the individuals involved and indirectly on their families. The Compensation Committee considers it appropriate to recognize those efforts.
The Compensation Committee has decided to refrain from awarding discretionary bonuses for NEOs in 2020.
Discretionary Restricted Stock Grants
Discretionary restricted stock grants were awarded as follows during 2019:
NameAmount ($)Discretionary Bonus as % of Base Salary
Thomas R. Quinn73,815  13.8 %
Thomas R. Brugger21,090  13.9 %
Mr. Quinn received a discretionary restricted stock grant in recognition of his work surrounding conversion related efforts for the Hamilton and Mercersburg transactions and significant recruitment of talent to the organization.
Mr. Brugger received a discretionary restricted stock grant in recognition of his work to provide a new business plan to improve profitability of the Company and his efforts related to operational efficiency improvement.
The Compensation Committee has decided to refrain from awarding discretionary awards for NEOs in 2020.
Other Awards and Compensation Perquisites
Messrs, Quinn, Metz, and Fague have each been provided a vehicle allowance or the personal use of a Company vehicle. Each of these positions require extensive travel across the Company’s market area, which continues to grow. In each case, an analysis was conducted to determine if reimbursement of mileage to a NEO was a less expensive alternative for the Company.
Messrs, Quinn, Metz and Fague have country club memberships provided by the Bank. Their positions require extensive client entertainment and recruitment of top-flight human capital. Initiation dues paid by the Company will be recouped by the Company when the NEO relinquishes their membership.
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% of employee contributions under the plan, up to 3% of an employee’s annual compensation.

2020 COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Overview
As will be described in further detail in the proxy statement for our 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Compensation Committee has made significant modifications to the 2020 compensation program for our NEOs. The Company believes our new compensation program properly incorporates the commentary provided by our shareholders during the aforementioned outreach program, strengthens pay for performance, and further aligns the interests of our executives to the long-term success of the Company. The table below indicates the components of NEO compensation for 2020. Significant changes relative to 2019 include:
Elimination of discretionary bonuses;
50.0% of NEOs LTIP awards will now performance-vest, meaning the shares will only vest if predetermined long-term financial goals are met;
performance-vesting LTIP awards will be in the form of restricted stock units which will not receive dividends or provide voting rights until vested; and
24


metrics used for performance measurement for the STIP and time-vesting portion of the LTIP will be different than those used for the performance-vesting portion of the LTIP:
STIP and time-vesting portion of the LTIP will continue to use Net Income and ROAE; and
performance-vesting portion of LTIP will use Return on Average Assets (ROAA).

Supplemental Employee Retirement Plans
The Bank has established salary continuation plans for certain of its executive officers including Messrs. Quinn, Coradi, Fague, and Boyle 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 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 2019 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. The Salary Continuation Agreement with Mr. Quinn provides for an annual normal retirement benefit of $400,000 at age 65; Mr. Coradi of $100,000 at age 65 and Mr. Fague of $73,000 at age 65. The Company has also entered into a deferred compensation agreement with Mr. Quinn as discussed below.
The Company has purchased whole life insurance where certain NEOs are the insured and the Bank (Company) is the death beneficiary. Such policies are in place for Mr. Quinn, Mr. Coradi and Mr. Fague. During the NEOs employment, the Company earns income on the life insurance policy. In 2019, the Company earned $2.0 million on all life insurance policies, tax free.
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
27


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 two 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.

The number of years of credited service equals the number of years of employment service.
The present value of accumulated benefits shown in the table above has been determined using the assumptions set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
No amounts were actually paid or provided to the NEOs during 2019.
Upon his resignation, Mr. Boyle had vested in an annual benefit of $81 thousand with respect to which payments will commence in the month following Mr. Boyle attaining age 65.
A description of the Salary Continuation Agreement appears below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”
Executive Deferred Compensation Agreement
In 2019, the Bank entered into a deferred compensation agreement with Mr. Quinn.
The deferred compensation agreement is intended to provide Mr. Quinn with the potential for certain retirement benefits payable in monthly installments over a 15-year period beginning the month following the executive’s separation from service upon or after he reaches normal retirement age (age 65), the month following his reaching normal retirement age in the cases of early termination and change in control, or the month following a separation from service in the case of disability.
The agreement provides for the establishment of a deferral account into which the Bank may, but is not required to, make monthly contributions. It is anticipated that the Bank will initially make monthly contributions of $33,721 into the deferral account. The deferral account earns interest at a rate equal to the Company’s Return on Average Tangible Equity for the immediately preceding calendar year, not to exceed 15% nor less than 0% during the accumulation period and at a fixed rate of 4.00% during the distribution period. Such contributions may be increased or decreased within the sole discretion of the Bank. Assuming the Bank continues a monthly contribution of $33,721, the annual normal retirement benefit is anticipated to be approximately $200,000.
Prior to the earliest to occur of: (i) a separation from service, (ii) disability, (iii) death and (iv) the executive attaining age 70, interest will accrue on amounts credited to the deferral account at the “accumulation period crediting rate,” compounded monthly. Following any of the aforementioned events, interest will accrue at the rate of four percent, except in the event of a change in control, in which case no interest will accrue until normal retirement age and, thereafter, interest will accrue at the rate of four percent.
In order to further link the amount of the benefit to overall corporate performance, the “accumulation period crediting rate” will mirror the Company’s return on average tangible equity (computed annually as described in the agreement); provided, that in no event will the rate be less than zero nor more than fifteen percent.
28


The total benefit payable in the event of normal retirement, early termination or disability is equal to the deferral account balance as of such date, with interest accruing as described above.
The total benefit payable in the event of a separation from service in connection with a change in control and prior to normal retirement age is the greater of the projected deferral account balance and $2,260,638. The projected deferral account balance is the deferral account balance at the date of the separation from service, plus an additional amount equal to the average monthly contribution made by the Bank prior to the separation from service multiplied by the number of months remaining through normal retirement age. Consistent with the Salary Continuation Agreement entered into between the Bank and Mr. Quinn in 2009, in the event that any benefit distributable under the agreement would subject executive to an excise tax under the excess parachute rules of Internal Revenue Code Section 280G, the agreement provides for the payment of an additional amount equal to: the executive’s excise penalty tax amount divided by the difference between (one minus the sum of (the penalty tax rate plus the executive’s marginal income tax rate)).
The total benefit payable in the event of a separation from service due to death is the greater of the actual deferral account balance and $2,260,638.
Benefits under the agreement will be forfeited if executive is terminated for cause, or if he commits suicide within 2 years after the effective date of the agreement, or if any insurance company which issued a life insurance policy covering executive and owned by the Bank denies coverage because of misstatements of fact made by executive on an application for life insurance, or if executive is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by a federal banking agency pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, or if executive 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.

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 2019 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, 2019.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
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 2024, and with Messrs. Coradi and Fague for terms continuing until 2021 and Messrs. Brugger and Metz continuing until 2022.
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 in one-year increments upon Board approval.
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.
29


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, Brugger, Metz, Coradi 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, 2019.

(2)

Change in Control Benefits
The Company and the Bank entered into Change in Control Agreements, concurrent with the Employment Agreements, with Messrs. Quinn, Brugger, Metz, Coradi, 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: (1) any person or group of persons acting in concert, shall have acquired ownership of more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company; (2) the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company shall have changed such that, during any 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% 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% 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
30


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.
For all Named Executive Officers other than Mr. Quinn, 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.
With respect to Mr. Quinn, in order to ensure consistency among the various compensatory agreements to which he is a party, Mr. Quinn’s Change in Control Agreement provides that, in the event that any benefit distributable under the agreement would be deemed to be an Excess Parachute Payment, Mr. Quinn shall be entitled to the payment of an additional amount equal to: his excise penalty tax amount divided by the difference between (one minus the sum of (the penalty tax rate plus his marginal income tax rate)). This provision mirrors those contained in his Salary Continuation Agreement and Deferred Compensation Agreement, described above, and is necessary to ensure that Mr. Quinn, who has served as President and Chief Executive Officer since 2009 and has guided the Company through its most transformative years, receives the full benefit of those compensatory arrangements should there be a termination of his employment following a change in control of the Company.
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 NEOs. 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 had occurred on December 31, 2019.

Other Considerations
Risk Management
The Company believes its 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, the Company believes 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 considers 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
32


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 2019 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 2019, 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 2019 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 NEOs (unless they also serve on the Board of Directors), but generally such officers hold personal investments in the Company’s stock. Equity granted under the Company’s incentive compensation plan is subject to the Company’s anti-hedging and anti-pledging provisions covered in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.

Compensation Risk Assessment

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 2017 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 NEOs:
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.
