Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 8, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Four Oaks Fincorp, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a management transition plan (the “Transition Plan”), whereby (i) David H. Rupp, the Company’s current President, Chief Operating Officer and member of the Board, will become Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Four Oaks Bank & Trust Company, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Bank”), pursuant to Amendment No. 3 to Mr. Rupp’s employment agreement (the “Amendment”) and (ii) Ayden R. Lee, Jr., who has been serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, will become the Executive Chairman of the Company. As Executive Chairman, Mr. Lee will provide, among other things, strategic, governance, shareholder relations, and risk management support and oversight to the Company, its executive team and the Board. Mr. Lee will also continue in his role as Chairman of the Board. Upon being appointed as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Rupp will no longer serve as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company but will continue serving as the President and a member of the Board. The Transition Plan, including the Amendment, is targeted to become effective on or about June 30, 2015, and is subject to approval by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Neither Mr. Lee nor Mr. Rupp will receive any additional compensation in connection with this transition.
Certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers, members of their immediate families, and entities with which they are involved are customers of, and borrowers from, the Bank in the ordinary course of business. All loans and other extensions of credit made by the Bank to such individuals are made substantially on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time in comparable transactions with other customers. In the opinion of management, these loans do not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or contain other unfavorable features.
The form of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. A copy of the press release announcing the Transition Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
