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

On March 15, 2016, the Board of Directors of Ohio Valley Banc Corp. (the "Company") unanimously elected Brent R. Eastman to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company effective April 1, 2016, in the class of directors whose terms expire at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2018 and appointed him to the Board Enterprise Risk Committee.  On March 15, 2016, Mr. Eastman was also elected by the Company as the sole shareholder of The Ohio Valley Bank Company (the "Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to serve on the Board of Directors and the Trust Committee of the Bank effective April 1, 2016.

In his capacity as a non-employee director of the Company, Mr. Eastman will receive the director fees and benefits that other non-employee directors receive, as disclosed in Exhibit 10.8 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.  He is expected to execute an agreement under the Director Retirement Plan in the form of the agreement attached as Exhibit 10.3(a) to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  Mr. Eastman is expected to execute an agreement under the Director Deferred Compensation Plan in the form attached as Exhibit 10.6(a) to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015.

Since the beginning of the last fiscal year, the Company had outstanding at various times 6 separate promissory notes to Mr. Eastman, his brother and a revocable trust with respect to which Mr. Eastman’s mother serves as trustee.  Of the 6 notes outstanding to Mr. Eastman and his family members, all were renewals of loans that had been made prior to 2015.  The notes had terms of 18 months or 2 years.  All of those 6 notes remained outstanding at March 17, 2016.  No principal was actually paid to the Eastmans on any of such notes during 2015; interest was added to the matured principal and new notes were executed upon maturity.   

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the notes issued by the Company to the Eastmans that were outstanding at any time since the beginning of 2015:
