Item 5.02              Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 27, 2017, the Board of Directors of Four Oaks Bank & Trust Company (the "Bank") a wholly-owned subsidiary of Four Oaks Fincorp, Inc. (the "Company"), approved the Four Oaks Bank & Trust Company Death Benefit Only Plan (the "Plan"), with an effective date of January 1, 2017. Under the Plan, the Bank, through bank-owned life insurance policies, provides death benefits to employees of the Bank selected by the Compensation Committee. The Bank is the sole owner of each life insurance policy, pays all premiums due under the policies, and is the beneficiary of any death benefit payable from the policies. Provided that the Bank receives a death benefit from a life insurance policy on the participant's life, on such participant's death, the participant's beneficiaries will be paid the amount specified in an individual Participation Agreement, a form of which is attached as an exhibit to the Plan, unless the participant's employment has terminated under certain circumstances. The Bank anticipates entering into separate Participation Agreements with the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other named executive officers providing for a benefit upon death of $100,000, subject to the terms of the Plan.
