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

On April 17, 2013, Eagle Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kathleen J. Chappell, who serves as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for the Company and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Clarke County. The initial term of the Agreement will end December 31, 2013. The Agreement will renew for a term of one year each December 31st thereafter unless Mrs. Chappell or the Company provides written notice to the other party prior to the renewal date. The Agreement provides for an initial base salary of $166,500, and Mrs. Chappell is eligible for base salary increases and bonuses, as determined by the Board of Directors. Prior to the Agreement, Mrs. Chappell was not covered by any employment agreement.

The Agreement provides for the termination of Mrs. Chappell’s employment by the Company without “cause” and termination by her for “good reason” (as those terms are defined in the Agreement). Termination under either of these circumstances will entitle Mrs. Chappell to (i) the payment of salary for the remainder of the then current term of the Agreement, (ii) a payment in cash equal to the greater of her highest cash bonus in any of the three fiscal years before the year in which termination occurs and the amount of cash bonus that he was designated to receive under the Company’s annual incentive plan and (iii) the continued benefit to her for the remainder of the then current term of the Agreement of all employee benefit plans and programs or arrangements in which she was entitled to participate prior to her termination. If Mrs. Chappell is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within one year following a “change of control” (as defined in the Agreement), she will receive an amount equal to 299% of her base salary, annual bonus and equivalent benefits (subject to reduction to the extent that such payment constitutes an “excess parachute payment” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). Mrs. Chappell will not be entitled to any compensation or other benefits under the Agreement if her employment is terminated for “cause”.

The Agreement also contains covenants relating to non-competition and non-solicitation, each for a period of 12 months following the last day of Mrs. Chappell’s employment, and covenants relating to confidentiality and nondisclosure.

The full text of the Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
