Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On June 22, 2015, the Board of Directors ("Board") of Trinity Capital Corporation ("Trinity") appointed Gregg Antonsen to the Board.  Prior to Mr. Antonsen's appointment, the Board increased its size from seven to eight members and appointed Mr. Antonsen to fill the resultant vacancy.  Mr. Antonsen, age 62, is the Senior Vice President and Qualifying Broker at Sotheby's International Realty Santa Fe. 
Mr. Antonsen will serve as a Class I director, which class will stand for re-election at Trinity's 2016 annual meeting of shareholders. There were no material arrangements or understandings, or any material plan or contract, between Mr. Antonsen and any other persons regarding his appointment.
Mr. Antonsen was also appointed as a director on the Board of Directors of Los Alamos National Bank ("LANB") on June 22, 2015.
Mr. Antonsen will participate in Trinity's standard outside director compensation program. Pursuant to this program, each member of Trinity's Board who is not an employee of Trinity receives a monthly retainer of $500 and a monthly retainer of $2,500 for service on the Board of LANB. In addition, Mr. Antonsen was awarded an initial grant of 2,500 shares of Trinity common stock.
The Board has determined that Mr. Antonsen satisfies the definition of "independent director."
A copy of the press release dated June 22, 2015, announcing the appointment of Mr. Antonsen to the Board is filed with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
