(b)(c)(e) On January 2, 2019, Riverview Financial Corporation (the “Company”), the holding company of Riverview Bank (the “Bank”), announced that Kirk D. Fox, Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, has resigned from his employment and directorships with the Company and the Bank, effective immediately.  The Company and the Bank have entered into a Separation Agreement and Release (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Fox, under which the Bank will pay or provide Mr. Fox: (1) a gross amount of $1,767,125, with $441,781.25 to be paid on the first day of the seventh month following the date of resignation and the remaining amount to be paid in 18 equal monthly installments thereafter; (2) an annual benefit of $150,000, payable in 26 equal bi-weekly installments for a period of five years (the “Annual Benefit”) or, if earlier, until the date on which certain restrictive covenants of Mr. Fox as set forth in the Agreement cease, whether by breach of Mr. Fox, mutual agreement of the parties or by election of Mr. Fox if there is a change in control of the Company or Bank on or after the two-year anniversary of the date of his resignation; and (3) with continued participation in the Bank’s medical, dental and vision plans for the period during which he is receiving the Annual Benefit, provided he remains eligible to participate in such plans.  The Agreement, a copy of which is enclosed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, includes non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions, certain consulting and post-termination services to be provided by Mr. Fox, and a release of claims by Mr. Fox.  The payments to Mr. Fox under the Agreement are subject to forfeiture if Mr. Fox breaches certain obligations.  The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Agreement.

The Company and the Bank has appointed Brett D. Fulk, President and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank, as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, effective January 2, 2019.  The appointment of Mr. Fulk as President and Chief Executive Officer consolidates and combines the roles of such executive positions at the Company and the Bank.  Mr. Fulk, age 50, has served as President of the Company and the Bank and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank since June 30, 2015.  Previously, Mr. Fulk served as Chief Operations Officer of the Company and the Bank from July 2011 to June 30, 2015.  In connection with the foregoing, no material plan, contract or arrangement between Mr. Fulk and the Company or the Bank was entered into or materially amended nor was any grant or award made or modified under any such plan, contract or arrangement.  Mr. Fulk is not a party to any transaction with the Company or the Bank that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K.

On January 2, 2019, the Company issued a press release discussing the changes to its executive management.  A full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
