Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Horizon Bancorp (the “Company”), today announced a change in executive management responsibilities and the development of a new business unit for its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Horizon Bank, N.A. (“Horizon”).
To improve focus and create growth opportunities in the areas of retail banking and municipal finance, David G. Rose, an Executive Vice President of the Company and Horizon’s current Executive Vice President in charge of retail banking, will assume new responsibilities as Porter County Market President and Municipal Finance Manager. As a result of these changes, Mr. Rose will no longer be an executive officer of the Company.
Municipal funding is an important source of funds for Horizon and therefore needs dedicated leadership and accountability. In addition, municipal credit has considerable growth opportunities in the States of Indiana and Michigan and will help diversify Horizon’s loan portfolio. To allow Mr. Rose time to focus on municipal finance and Porter County, consumer lending will now report up through Executive Vice President James D. Neff and retail branches will report up through Senior Vice President Carla Kanney.
The Board of Directors approved these changes on September 20, 2016, and expects that the transition will be completed by no later than December 31, 2016.
