ITEM 5.03.  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On June 18, 2013, the Board of Directors of First Community Corporation (the “Corporation”) amended the Corporation’s Bylaws, Article 3, Section 6.  Retirement of Directors, which generally provides that no person shall be elected or reelected a director of the Corporation after attaining the age of 72.  The amendment had no substantive effect, because it merely pruned a qualifying provision that had previously been mooted by the retirement of certain initial directors of the Corporation.  The qualifying provision had stated that the retirement age did not apply to any initial director who had attained the age of 65 prior to the date of the initial adoption of the Bylaws.  At the time of the elimination of this qualifying provision by the amendment, there were no longer any directors of the Corporation who had attained the age of 65 prior to the date of the initial adoption of the Bylaws.

On October 15, 2013, the Board of Directors of First Community Corporation approved the Amended and Restated Bylaws attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.  The only amended effected thereby was an amendment to Article 3, Section 6.  Retirement of Directors, which was amended and restated in connection with the Corporation’s proposed merger involving Savannah River Financial Corporation.  Article 3, Section 6.  Retirement of Directors, was amended and restated to read as follows:  No person shall be elected or reelected a director of the Corporation after attaining the age of 72; provided that this provision shall not apply to any former director of Savannah River Financial Corporation who shall have attained the age of 72 prior to the date of such person’s initial appointment as a director of the Corporation until such director attains the age of 84.
