(e)            On February 10, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the Home Federal Bank (the "Bank") 2016 Loan Officer Incentive Plan for the benefit of the Bank's eligible commercial loan officers (the "Loan Officer Incentive Plan"). The terms of the Loan Officer Incentive Plan are reviewed annually and were amended on February 10, 2016 to change the administration period to a fiscal year basis, to provide for three participation levels, two based on the size of the commercial loan officer's book of business and one for the Commercial Sales Manager and to specify the five performance measures used to calculate the book of business performance.

The Loan Officer Incentive Plan is an annual incentive compensation plan intended to reward participating commercial loan officers with variable cash awards that are contingent upon the net interest income produced from the loan officer's identified loan portfolio, and in the case of the Commercial Sales Manager, all loans originated by commercial loan officers, and net income from new loans originated during the performance period plus commercial deposit fee income, multiplied by a portfolio rating based on the performance measures.  Mr. K. Matthew Sawrie is our only named executive officer who participates in the plan as Commercial Sales Manager.  Participants in the Loan Officer Incentive Plan are selected by the President and Chief Executive Officer at the beginning of each fiscal year and recommended for approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors which administers the plan.

During fiscal 2016, Level I and Level II participants in the Loan Officer Incentive Plan will receive a cash incentive award equal to 2.0% and 3.0%, respectively, of the net interest income from loans originated by the particular loan officer prior to the beginning of the fiscal year and a cash incentive award equal to 15.0% and 10.0%, respectively, of the net income from the loan officer's loan originations during the performance period plus year to date commercial deposit fee income, in each case multiplied by a portfolio rating based on the five performance measures.  The Commercial Sales Manager will receive a cash incentive award equal to 1.0% of the net interest income from loans originated by all the commercial loan officers prior to the beginning of the fiscal year and a cash incentive award equal to 5.0% of the net income from all of the loans originated by the commercial loan officers during the performance period plus year to date commercial deposit fee income, in each case multiplied by a portfolio rating based on the five performance measures.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Officer Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference thereto.
