Each of the new directors will receive the non-employee director compensation approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board from time to time.  The Board has affirmatively determined that each of Mr. Exum and Ms. Reynolds qualify as an independent director as defined by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company’s corporate governance guidelines. At this time, the new directors have not been appointed to any committee of the Board.  Mr. Jonathan Ayers and Ms. Reynolds were designated by Mr. James W. Ayers, our executive chairman and controlling shareholder, pursuant to that certain Shareholder’s Agreement, dated September 15, 2016, by and between the Company and Mr. James W. Ayers. Mr. Jonathan Ayers is the son of Mr. James W. Ayers.

The Company is a party to an aircraft time sharing agreement with Hawker Aviation Services (“Hawker”), a company owned by Mr. James W. Ayers and Mr. J. Jonathan Ayers, pursuant to which the Company has the right to use, from time to time, an aircraft leased and operated by Hawker. Hawker bills the Company for its usage of the aircraft based on hours of use and certain operating costs. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company paid Hawker $313,000 under the aviation timesharing agreement for the use of the aircraft.  In addition, the Company leases office space from entities owned by Mr. James W. Ayers and Mr. J. Jonathan Ayers.  The aggregate amount paid by the Company under these leases was $522,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Ruth Johnson also notified the Board of the Company that she intends to retire as a member of the Boards of Directors of the Company and FirstBank, effective on the date of the 2017 Annual Meeting. Upon Ms. Johnson’s retirement, the size of the Company Board will decrease from ten to nine.  Ms. Johnson has served on the Board since 2013 and our bank board since 2004, and the Company is grateful for Ms. Johnson’s leadership and commitment to the success of the Company during her tenure as a director of the Company and FirstBank.
