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

On June 22, 2016, the board of directors of Porter Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Program (“Director Program”) pursuant to the authority granted under Section 3 of the Porter Bancorp 2016 Stock Option and Incentive Compensation Plan (“2016 Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2016 annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders on May 25, 2016.

The Director Program provides for automatic annual awards of restricted stock to be made to the Company’s non-employee directors under the 2016 Plan on substantially the same terms and conditions as such awards are made under the present Porter Bancorp, Inc. Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Director Plan”).  Each Director automatically receives an award of restricted stock each year equal to $25,000 divided by the closing trading price of the Company’s shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the award date.  The "award date" is the first business day of the first calendar month after the date of the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders, usually June 1 of each year.

The Program provides for the following transition from the 2006 Director Plan to the 2016 Plan.
·
No restricted stock will be awarded under Director Program on any award date on which the non-employee directors receive the full amount of the awards to which they are entitled under the 2006 Director Plan.
·
On the first award date on which insufficient shares remain available under the 2006 Director Plan to award the full amount to which the non-employee directors are entitled under the 2006 Director Plan, each non-employee director will automatically receive a restricted stock award under the Director Program equal to $25,000 divided by the closing trading price on the award date, less the number of shares received as a restricted stock award under the 2006 Director Plan on the award date.
·
On each award date thereafter, each non-employee director will automatically receive a restricted stock award equal to $25,000 divided by the closing trading price on the award date.

Subject to acceleration of vesting, a non-employee director may not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of a restricted stock during a restricted period ending on December 31 of the calendar year in which the award date occurs. The restriction period ends immediately upon the non-employee director’s death or disability, or in the event of a “change of control,” as defined by the 2016 Plan.  During the restricted period, a non-employee director will have voting and dividends rights with respect to the restricted stock. If a non-employee director's service ends during the restriction period for any reason other than death, disability or a change of control, the shares subject to the restricted stock award will be forfeited.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Program, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.

The Porter Bancorp 2016 Stock Option and Incentive Compensation Plan is an omnibus plan to design and structure grants of stock awards, stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards for selected individuals employed by, or serving as directors of, the Company or PBI Bank.  The terms and conditions of the 2016 Plan are summarized on pages 32 to 37 of the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed April 25, 2016, which summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2016 Plan, which is Appendix A to that proxy statement. Both the summary and the copy of the 2016 Plan in the definitive proxy statement are incorporated by reference into this report.
