The participation groups under the Plan are: (i) Group I, consisting of the Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. Chief Executive Officer (“CTBI CEO”), Community Trust Bank, Inc. Chief Executive Officer (“CTB CEO”), and other members of the Executive Committee (“Other Executive Officers”); (ii) Group II, consisting of CTB officers responsible for the various consolidated functions as selected by the CTB CEO, the Presidents of each market, and the Community Trust and Investment Company (CTIC) officers responsible for various departments as selected by the CTIC CEO; and (iii) Group III, consisting of Senior Vice Presidents of consolidated functions selected for participation by the Compensation Committee.  Individuals below the Senior Vice President level may be selected by the Compensation Committee for special option awards for extraordinary performance.  This Plan may be amended, modified, or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time at its sole discretion, except that after the 90^th day of the year the performance standards may not be changed in a manner that would increase the amount of incentive compensation payable for such year.

o Participants will be eligible for a cash award determined by earnings per share (EPS) growth and earnings as a percentage of average assets (ROAA).  The minimum and maximum awards as a percentage of salary for each group will be: (i) Group I – CTBI CEO minimum award of 25% of salary and maximum award of 100% of salary; (ii) Group I –  CTB CEO minimum award of 20% of salary and maximum award of 80% of salary; (iii) Group I – Other Executive Officers minimum award of 15% of salary and maximum award of 60% of salary; (iv) Group II  – minimum award of 3.5% of salary and maximum award of 8.75% of salary; and (v) Group III – minimum award of 2.75% of salary and maximum award of 6.71% of salary.  In the event that the ROAA or EPS are not attained but the target net income is attained, the amount of the award under the Plan shall be paid at the base level of target performance payment.  There shall be a minimum acceptable performance beneath which no incentive awards are paid and a maximum above which there is no additional award paid to avoid excessive payout in the event of windfall profits.

o Participants will be eligible to receive stock options (pursuant to CTBI’s 2015 Stock Ownership Incentive Plan) with a face value equal to certain percentages of salary or restricted stock (or a combination of options and restricted stock) of an amount recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of CTBI subject to any limitations of the 2015 Stock Ownership Incentive Plan.  The minimum and maximum stock option awards as a percentage of salary for each group will be: (i) Group I – CTBI CEO minimum award of 10% of salary and maximum award of 23% of salary; (ii) Group I – CTB CEO minimum award of 8.757% of salary and maximum award of 20.125% of salary; (iii) Group I – Other Executive Officers minimum award of 7.5% of salary and maximum award of 17.25% of salary; (iv) Group II – minimum award of 5% of salary and maximum award of 11.5% of salary; and (v) Group III – minimum award of 2.25% of salary and maximum award of 5% of salary.  In the event that the ROAA or EPS are not attained but the target net income is attained, the amount of stock options and/or restricted stock awarded under the Plan shall be granted at the base level of target performance.  There shall be a minimum acceptable performance beneath which awards will not be granted and a maximum above which there is no additional award in the event of windfall profits.

The Committee also approved the Employee Incentive Compensation Plan for the year ending December 31, 2018 which is included herein as Exhibit 10.9 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.  Full-time employees who do not participate in another incentive plan are eligible to participate in this Plan.  This Plan may be amended, modified, or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time at its sole discretion, except that after the 90^th day of the year the target award and the performance standards may not be changed in a manner that would increase the amount of incentive compensation payable over the amount which would have been payable under the performance standards previously established.

o Participants will be eligible for a cash award determined by earnings per share growth and earnings as a percentage of average assets (ROAA).  The minimum and maximum awards as a percentage of salary for each participant will be: minimum award – 2% of salary and maximum award – 4.5% of salary.  In the event that the ROAA or EPS are not attained but the target net income is attained, the amount of the award under the Plan shall be paid at the base level of target performance payment.  There shall be a minimum acceptable performance beneath which no incentive awards are paid and a maximum above which there is no additional award paid to avoid excessive payout in the event of windfall profits.

· Plan for Long-Term Incentive Compensation for Executive Committee.  The Committee approved the 2018 Executive Committee Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan which is included herein as Exhibit 10.18 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.  This Plan may be amended, modified, or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time at its sole discretion, except that after the 90^th day of the year, the performance goals set forth within may not be amended in a manner which would increase the amount of compensation payable pursuant to performance units over the amount which would have been payable under the performance goals previously established for such year.  Participants in this Plan will be the members of the Executive Committee of CTBI.

o The target award fund shall be generated by 40% of the salary of the CTBI CEO, 30% of the CTB CEO, and 20% of the salary of other members of the Executive Committee.  The target award may be changed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at any time during the Performance Period at their discretion provided, however, that the target award as a percentage of salary may not be increased after the 90^th day of the 2018 calendar year.

o The actual amount of payments under the performance units shall be calculated according to a schedule comparing cumulative net income (over a three-year performance period) to the performance goals described within the Plan and payments will be made in the form of cash or shares.  The minimum and maximum awards as a percentage of salary will be 10.0% and 60.0% for the CTBI CEO, 7.50% and 45.0% for the CTB CEO, and 5.00% and 30.0% for all other members of the Executive Committee, respectively.  No amounts may be paid under the performance units unless CTBI attains a minimum acceptable performance, and no additional amounts may be paid above the maximum performance level.
