| Item 5.02. | | Election of Directors |
On January 29, 2009, the Board of Directors of MBT Financial Corp. (the “Company”) increased the membership of the Board from 11 to 12 and appointed Edwin L. Harwood to fill the vacancy created as a result of the increase. It is unknown at this time what committees, if any, upon which Mr. Harwood will serve during 2009. Board committee appointments for the year will be assigned in connection with the annual organizational meeting expected to be held in May, 2009.
Certain members of Mr. Harwood’s immediate family have loan relationships with the Company’s commercial bank subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust (the “Bank”), which loans were: made in the ordinary course of the Bank’s business; made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the lender; and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
A copy of the Company’s press release issued January 29, 2009 to announce Mr. Harwood’s appointment and other Board-related information is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.
