Awards of Restricted Stock Units
On June 5, 2026, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Auburn National Bancorporation, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) adopted and approved grants of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) pursuant to the Company’s 2024 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and a Notice of Discretionary Equity Award Agreement and related Terms and Conditions (together, the “RSU Award Agreement”). As part of its June 5 actions, the Committee awarded 4,475 RSUs to the Company’s three named executive officers (the “Named Executive Officers”), as shown below. Upon vesting, each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Company common stock (par value $1.00 per share), and any Dividend Equivalents, subject to tax and other withholdings, for which the Recipient is responsible.
The Company’s Named Executive Officers were awarded the following respective RSUs:
Employee
Restricted Stock Units
David A. Hedges
2,078
W. James Walker, IV
1,207
Robert L. Smith
1,190
Terms and Conditions of RSUs
The following briefly describes the terms and conditions of the RSU Award Agreement. It is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the RSU Award Agreement and the Plan. The form of the Award Agreement was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on From 8-K dated July 30, 2025 and the Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10, 2024. Capitalized terms used but not defined below have the same meanings as provided in the RSU Award Agreement or the Plan.
Each Award is evidenced by a RSU Award Agreement. RSUs do not represent an ownership interest in Company Common Stock or provide any rights as an owner of such Common Stock. RSUs do not assure a Recipient with continued employment or to further Awards under the Equity Plan.
All of the RSUs granted on June 5, 2026 vest annually over three years as follows subject to the Award Agreement’s terms and conditions, including continued employment with the Company on each Vesting Date and potential acceleration of vesting upon certain events specified in the Award Agreement:
Vesting Date
Percentage of Award Vested
June 5, 2027
33%
June 5, 2028
33%
June 5, 2029
34%
The Award Agreement provides the RSU holders with “Dividend Equivalents.” Dividend Equivalents are additional RSUs issued upon the Company’s payment of a dividend on Shares. The number of Dividend Equivalents issued on a dividend payment date equals the product of the number of RSUs held by a Recipient under the Award Agreement (including prior Dividend Equivalents still held) on such date multiplied by the dollar amount of the dividend paid per Share, divided by the closing price of a Share on Nasdaq on the dividend payment date. RSUs issued pursuant to the Dividend Equivalents vest on the same terms and conditions as the original RSUs.
The vesting of the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents may be accelerated upon certain events, in the following amounts:
•
100% vesting on the Recipient’s death or Disability.
•
Pro rata vesting to the Recipient’s date of Retirement where the Recipient has been employed for the number of years specified in the RSU Award Agreement.
•
The “Pro Rata Amount” where the Company terminates the Recipient without “Cause.”
•
Upon a Change in Control where the RSUs are not assumed by the Surviving Entity.
Except as provided above, upon a Recipient’s Termination of Employment, all RSUs and Dividend Equivalents not previously vested shall terminate. Upon the Company’s Termination of Employment for Cause, the Compensation Committee may demand the return of all Shares, cash and other property received in respect of RSUs or Dividend Equivalents that vested during the period of conduct that was Cause of Termination of Employment.
The Award Agreement contains several restrictive covenants applicable to the Recipient:
•
Maintenance of the Company’s Confidential Information in accordance with the Company’s policies during employment and for two years thereafter, and the Recipient shall not disclose or use or permit third parties to use the Company’s Confidential Information or Trade Secrets, without the Company’s prior written consent.
•
While the Recipient is employed by the Company, and for one year thereafter, the Recipient shall not solicit or recruit any Protected Employee to terminate employment with the Company or to enter into any employment, agency or other relationship with a third party with whom the Recipient is affiliated.
•
While employed by the Company and for one year thereafter, the Recipient shall not solicit any Company Customer for Business Activities.
The Award Agreement prohibits the pledge, assignment or transfer of RSUs (including RSUs received as Dividend Equivalents). The Award Agreement is subject to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, which prohibits speculative transactions in Company securities, including any instruments or strategies, including Derivative Securities, to increase the value or reduce of the risks of any Award.
