ITEM 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On May 22, 2025, Richmond Mutual Bancorporation, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and First Bank Richmond, an Indiana state-chartered commercial bank and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Bank”), entered into change-in-control agreements with Paul Witte, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Bank, and Bradley Glover, Chief Financial Officer of both the Company and the Bank.
The change-in-control agreements have an initial term that expires on December 31, 2026. The term of the agreements will be extended for one additional year on January 1, 2026 and on January 1st of each subsequent calendar year, such that at any time after January 1, 2026 the remaining term shall be between one and two years, unless any party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other parties at least 30 days prior to the applicable renewal date. If a change in control occurs during the term of the agreements, at a time when there is less than one year remaining in the term of the agreements, the term will automatically extend through the one-year anniversary of the completion of the change in control.
Under the terms of the agreements, if the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by the executive for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the agreements) within twelve (12) months following a change in control, the executive will be entitled to:
•A lump-sum cash payment equal to two (2) times the executive’s base amount (as defined in the agreement), payable within 10 business days following the execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims;
•Continued insurance coverage for up to 24 months following termination, at no premium cost to the executive, subject to certain limitations and alternatives if such coverage cannot be provided or would trigger excise taxes;
•A lump-sum cash payment equal to the projected cost of continued insurance coverage, in the event such coverage is unavailable or would result in excise taxes; and
•A condition that all severance benefits are contingent upon the executive signing and not revoking a general release of claims.
If the payment and benefits the executive has the right to receive would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then the payment and benefits will be reduced by the minimum amount necessary to result in no portion of the payment and benefits payable under the agreements being non-deductible to the Company and the Bank pursuant to Section 280G.
The foregoing description of the agreements is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
