Item 1.01
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On August 10, 2012, Madison County Financial, Inc. (the “Company”), Madison County Holding Company, MHC, a federally chartered mutual holding company, Madison County Financial Corporation, a federally chartered Mid-Tier holding company and Madison County Bank, a federally chartered savings bank (collectively, the “Primary Parties”) entered into an Agency Agreement with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW”), who will assist in the marketing of and will act as financial advisor during the Company’s stock offering.  For these services, KBW will receive a management fee of $50,000, payable in four consecutive monthly installments commencing in February 2012, and a success fee of 1.25% of the aggregate dollar amount of the common stock sold in the subscription offering excluding shares purchased by our directors, officers and employees and members of their immediate families, our employee stock ownership plan and our tax-qualified or stock-based compensation or similar plans (except individual retirement accounts), and a 2.00% success fee paid on any shares sold in the direct community offering, in each case if the conversion is consummated.

In the event that KBW sells common stock through a group of broker-dealers in a syndicated community offering, KBW will receive a management fee not to exceed 6.00% of the aggregate dollar amount of the common stock sold in the syndicated community offering. This fee will be in addition to the fee earned by KBW in connection with the subscription and community offerings set forth above.  Of this amount, KBW will pass on to selected broker-dealers, who assist in the syndicated community offering, an amount competitive with gross underwriting discounts charged at such time for comparable amounts of stock sold at a comparable price per share in a similar market environment.

The Company will also reimburse KBW for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with its marketing effort, including legal fees to be paid to KBW’s counsel, not to exceed $90,000.

The shares of common stock are being offered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-181070) filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and a related prospectus dated August 10, 2012.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Agency Agreement is qualified in its entirety by references to the Agency Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
