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

(e) On August 16, 2017, Jacksonville Savings Bank (the "Bank"), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a change in control agreement with Chris A. Royal, Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer (the "Change in Control Agreement").  The Change in Control Agreement has an initial term of two years, provided, however, that commencing on the first anniversary date of the agreement and continuing on each anniversary date thereafter, the term will renew for one (1) year, unless a notice of non-renewal is provided by the Board of Directors of the Bank at least 10 days prior to any anniversary date.

In the event of a change in control of the Company or the Bank, followed by Mr. Royal's termination by the Bank without "cause" or voluntary resignation for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the Change in Control Agreement), Mr. Royal would receive a lump sum cash severance payment equal two (2) times the sum of: (i) the average annual base salary, bonus and any other cash compensation earned by Mr. Royal during the two (2) years immediately prior to the year in which his date of termination occurs; and (ii) the average amount of annual benefits received by him pursuant to the employee benefit plans maintained by the Bank during the two (2) years immediately prior to the year in which his date of termination occurs.  In addition, Mr. Royal would receive continued life insurance coverage and non-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage for two years following his date of termination.

If such severance payments and the benefits would include an "excess parachute payment" as defined under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, the severance payments and/or benefits would be reduced by the minimum amount necessary to avoid penalties under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The foregoing description of the Change in Control Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Change in Control Agreement that is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
