On March 30, 2021, Thomas R. Brugger, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer of Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”), notified the Company of his intent to retire effective April 27, 2021. Mr. Brugger’s departure is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
In connection with Mr. Brugger’s departure, the Company announced that Neelesh Kalani, the Company’s Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer since March 2020, will be appointed Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective April 28, 2021. Mr. Kalani will continue to serve as the Company’s Principal Accounting Officer until his successor is identified and appointed. Mr. Kalani, age 46, has over 20 years of banking and financial services experience. Prior to joining Orrstown Bank in 2020, Mr. Kalani spent over seven years as the Chief Accounting Officer of Sun Bancorp, Inc. and served in previous comparable roles at Harleysville National Corporation and Willow Financial Bancorp, Inc. Previously, he worked seven years in the financial services audit group at KPMG, LLP with progressively increasing levels of responsibility. Mr. Kalani is a graduate of Drexel University, with a BS in Accounting and Finance, and is a Certified Public Accountant, licensed in Pennsylvania.
Pursuant to an offer letter (the “Offer Letter”), in connection with his appointment, Mr. Kalani will be paid an annual base salary of $285,000 and shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s 2021 Executive Bonus Plan, with a potential bonus opportunity of fifty percent of his annual base salary, in each case on a prorated basis. The terms of the Offer Letter also provide that Mr. Kalani is to receive a three-year employment agreement, as well as a change in control severance agreement, which will provide a severance benefit in the event of a termination of employment following a change in control of the Company equal to 2.99 times his annual compensation. The Offer Letter further provides that, following ninety days of employment as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Kalani shall receive 4,000 restricted stock awards pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, all of which shall vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, provided he remains employed by the Company. Mr. Kalani will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s compensation and benefit plans and programs for similarly situated executives.
