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

(e)  On September 27, 2011 the Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted the Mission Community Bancorp 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan has also been approved by the Company’s shareholders.  The Plan provides for the issuance of both “incentive” and “nonqualified” stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights and stock awards (“Awards”).  Awards under the Plan may be made to salaried officers and employees of the Company and its affiliates, to non-employee directors of the Company and its affiliates, and to consultants providing services to the Company and its affiliates.  Awards under the Plan may be granted on such terms and conditions as are established by the Board of Directors or an authorized Committee of the Board of Directors in its discretion.  Awards may be granted as performance-based compensation under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
 

The maximum number of shares to be issued under the Plan is 496,599 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock, subject to adjustment for certain corporate actions.

All options under the Plan must be granted at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, and will be exercisable in installments as provided in individual stock option agreements.  In the event of an “Acquisition” constituting a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Plan), subject to the provision of any then outstanding Awards granting different rights to the holders thereof, outstanding Awards shall, to the extent not assumed or replaced by comparable awards referencing shares of the capital stock of the successor or acquiring entity or the entity in control of such successor or acquiring entity, terminate at the effective time of such Acquisition.  Options will terminate in the event a participant ceases to be employed by or to serve as a director of the Company or its affiliates, and the vested portion thereof must be exercised within 90 days after such cessation of employment or service.  Awards other than options will be forfeited or otherwise subject to return to the Company on the terms specified in any applicable award agreement following a termination of employment or an individual ceasing to serve as a director of the Company or its affiliates.

The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
