Melone to serve as a Class B director of the Company until the 2012 annual meeting of shareholders.  Mr. Melone is expected to be named to the Board’s Audit Committee.  Also on May 25, 2011, the board of directors of First National Community Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Bank”), elected Mr. Melone to serve as a director of the Bank.

 

Any loans with the Bank in which Mr. Melone or his immediate family member has a direct or indirect material interest were made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the Company or the Bank and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
