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

On September 27, 2011, the Board of Directors of First-Mid Illinois Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a form of Stock Award/Stock Unit Award Agreement and a form of Stock Unit Award Agreement.  The forms were approved pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and set forth the terms and conditions of the Stock Awards and Stock Units granted to participants in the Plan as part of their Annual Performance Award and Cumulative Performance Award.  Each of the Annual Performance Award and Cumulative Performance Award consists of Stock Awards (50%) and Stock Units (50%), except that Awards to retirement-eligible employees are made 100% in Stock Units.  The target number of shares subject to the Stock Awards and/or Stock Units is adjusted by the Board at the end of each applicable performance period based on the actual level of attainment of performance goals previously set by the Board.  The Annual Performance Award has a one-year performance period and the Cumulative Performance Award has a three-year performance period.  Stock Awards are settled in shares while Stock Units are settled in cash (although Stock Units held by retirement-eligible employees are settled half in shares and half in cash).  A complete copy of each form of Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.

On September 27, 2011 the Board also approved the following Awards to the Company’s named executive officers:
