Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 28, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Robert B. Goldstein as a new director.  In connection with his appointment, the Board named Mr. Goldstein to serve on the Board’s Organization and Compensation Committee, its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and its Executive Committee. Subject to regulatory approval, Mr. Goldstein will also serve as a director of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, The Jacksonville Bank (the “Bank”).

Also on October 28, 2014, John W. Rose delivered notice of his resignation as a director of the Company and the Bank, effective upon receipt of regulatory approval for Mr. Goldstein’s directorship with the Bank.  Mr. Goldstein is a principal of CapGen Financial Group and will replace Mr. Rose as one of the director designees of CapGen Capital Group IV LP (“CapGen”), the Company’s largest shareholder.  As an affiliate of CapGen, Mr. Goldstein may be deemed to beneficially own shares owned by CapGen.

Mr. Goldstein is also a direct holder of shares of the Company’s common stock and nonvoting common stock, and a former debt holder pursuant to revolving loan agreements entered into with the Company in 2010 and 2011 (the “Revolvers”), which are further described in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC.  In December 2012, Mr. Goldstein purchased 500 shares of the Series A preferred stock (which were later converted into 50,000 shares of nonvoting common stock) in the Company’s private placement offering, in consideration for his cancellation of $500,000 in outstanding debt of the Company—the entire amount outstanding under the Revolvers.  After the December 2012 private placement, the Company did not borrow again under the Revolvers, and in the second quarter of 2013, Mr. Goldstein’s commitments under the Revolvers were reduced to zero.  The largest amount of principal outstanding under the Revolvers in 2012 was $500,000, and Mr. Goldstein earned $16,267 in interest in connection with the Revolvers in 2012.

As previously reported in the Company’s SEC filings, on August 26, 2014, the Board appointed A. Hugh Greene as a new director.  At the time of his appointment, Mr. Greene had not yet been named to serve on any committees of the Board.  On October 28, 2014, the Board named Mr. Greene to serve on the Board’s Audit Committee, its Organization and Compensation Committee and its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
