On July 20, 2012, Jeffery R. Cantrell became Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Essex Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”). In this newly created position, Mr. Cantrell oversees the Bank’s loan and deposit operations, information technology and internal reporting, areas of responsibilities that have been previously managed by other executive officers.

 

Mr. Cantrell, 50, has served as the Bank’s Senior Vice President and Senior Financial Officer since 2009. From 2008 to 2009, he was Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer for North Metro Financial LLC, the organizational entity for a bank in organization in Georgia. From 1984 to 2008, he was employed with Regions Bank, where he most recently served in the position of Senior Vice President and East Region Financial Manager.

 

The Bank will enter into a change in control agreement with Mr. Cantrell. Under this agreement, in the event that a change in control occurs during the first 18 months of Mr. Cantrell’s employment as Chief Operating Officer and, within the period beginning on the date of closing of the change in control and ending one year after, his employment with the Bank is terminated by the Bank without cause or by him for good reason, the Bank will owe him one times the sum of his annual base salary in effect on his termination of employment or the change in control date, whichever is greater.

 

The Bank issued a press release reporting Mr. Cantrell’s appointment on July 30, 2012. The press release is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
