CB Financial Services Enters New Employment Agreements With CEO and Chief Banking Officer
CB Financial Services' bank subsidiary, Community Bank, signed new employment agreements on August 24, 2026 with CEO John H. Montgomery and Chief Banking Officer Bruce Sharp, plus a new split dollar life insurance agreement with Mr. Montgomery. The filing describes routine contract terms, including severance and change-in-control provisions, that matter to shareholders mainly as a record of executive compensation and potential payouts.
Key points
- Mr. Montgomery's base salary is $495,000 and Mr. Sharp's is $294,500; the agreements have initial terms ending April 30, 2029.
- If an executive is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, a lump sum equal to base salary for the remaining term or 12 months, whichever is greater, applies.
- After a change in control, the payout would instead be three times the sum of highest base salary and average annual cash bonus, plus up to 24 months of COBRA or Medicare premium reimbursement.
