Explanatory Note

 

On May 20, 2019, Colony Bankcorp, Inc. (the “Holding Company”), the bank holding company for Colony Bank (the "Bank" and, together with the Holding Company, the “Company”), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting the appointment of Tracie Youngblood as the new Chief Financial Officer of the Holding Company and the Bank. This Form 8-K/A is being filed to disclose the material terms of Ms. Youngblood’s employment agreement, which were not yet finalized as of the date of the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K on May 20, 2019, as well as to disclose the effective date of her appointment as Chief Financial Officer.

 

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

 

On June 24, 2019, the Bank and Ms. Youngblood entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which Ms. Youngblood will provide services to the Company as its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective as of June 24, 2019. Ms. Youngblood will report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Employment Agreement has a two-year term and provides for an initial base salary of $210,000 per year. Ms. Youngblood will have an opportunity to receive an annual bonus (up to a maximum of 25% of her base salary) based upon the achievement of performance goals established from year to year by the Compensation Committee. Ms. Youngblood will also have an opportunity to participate in the Bank’s benefits plans available to other similarly-situated Company employees, subject to the terms and conditions of such plans, and she will be eligible for vacation, PTO and holidays consistent with the Bank’s policies.

 

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, if a change in control of the Company occurs during the term of the Employment Agreement and, within twelve months following such change in control, the Company terminates Ms. Youngblood’s employment other than for “cause” or “disability” or Ms. Youngblood resigns for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement), then the Bank will pay to Ms. Youngblood an amount equal to one times Ms. Youngblood’s then-current base salary, payable in a single lump sum within 30 days following her termination, subject to Ms. Youngblood’s compliance with certain restrictive covenants and execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims against the Company. The Employment Agreement contains certain non-competition and employee and customer non-solicitation covenants that apply during her employment with the Bank and for 12 months following her termination of employment.

 

The foregoing summary of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
