On February 21, 2013, the Board of Directors of First Community Bancshares, Inc. amended the First Community Bancshares, Inc. and Affiliates Executive Retention Plan (the “Plan”) to provide for certain changes in the determination of the normal retirement benefit. The retirement benefit provided to Group A Participants (those participants who entered into the Plan prior to January 1, 2009) was revised to provide that if a participant’s final average compensation was in excess of $175,000 at normal retirement age and such participant had completed thirty years or more of service, then the participant’s benefit would be equal to the greater of (i) 35% of the participant’s final average compensation (subject to a maximum benefit of $80,000) per calendar year, or (ii) $80,000 per calendar year. In order to receive these benefits, the participant must have incurred a separation from service. The amendment is to be effective as of January 1, 2013.

 

Amendment #2 to the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
