ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On July 29, 2015, Citizens Bank of Northern Kentucky, Inc. (“Citizens Northern”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Farmers Capital Bank Corporation (the “Company”), provided notice to its banking regulators and customers of its decision close its one branch location in Independence, Kentucky (Kenton County). The closing is expected to be effective November 6, 2015.
Since its opening in 2006, the Independence location has not met the deposit and loan levels necessary to achieve sustained profitability. After the closing, customers of the branch in Independence will be serviced by the Citizens Northern branch in nearby Crestview Hills, Kentucky (Kenton County), which is within eight miles from the Independence location. The drive up ATM at the Independence location will remain in operation for the foreseeable future. Current employees at the Independence branch will be given priority for open positions within the Company.
After the closing, the Company will have 34 banking locations in 22 communities throughout Central and Northern Kentucky.
