Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers

 

(d)  On February 12, 2015, the Board of Directors of Franklin Financial Services Corporation (the “Corporation”), appointed Tricia Lacy and Greg Duffey as Directors of the Corporation.  Ms. Lacy and Mr. Duffey were appointed as Class B Directors with a term scheduled to expire at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2016.  On February 12, 2015, the Board of Directors of Farmers and Merchants Trust Company of Chambersburg (“F&M Trust”, or the “Bank”), a wholly-owned banking subsidiary of the Corporation, also appointed Ms. Lacy and Mr. Duffey as Directors of F&M Trust.

 

Ms. Lacy currently serves as President and Director of the Beistle Company.  Both Ms. Lacy and the Beistle Company are customers of F&M Trust.  All transactions with Ms. Lacy and the Beistle Company were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve more than a normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

 

Mr. Duffey is a partner with the Craig, Friedly, Potter & Moore (CFP&M) Insurance Agency, an independent agency based in Waynesboro.  Neither Mr. Duffey nor his company are currently customers of F&M Trust.

 

Ms. Lacy and Mr. Duffey will be entitled to receive director’s fees and be eligible to participate in the F&M Trust Director Deferred Compensation Plan and the Director Pay for Performance Plan on the same basis as other directors of the Corporation and F&M Trust.  Such fees, plan and program are described in the Corporation’s Proxy Statement incorporated by reference into its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The news release announcing the appointment of Ms. Lacy and Mr. Duffey is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1.
