Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. On January 17, 2006, the Governance and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") of Oak Hill Financial, Inc. (the "Company") approved the 2006 Executive Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Under the terms of the Plan, the Company's executive officers, and certain non-executive officers, are eligible to receive cash incentives based upon the achievement of financial objectives established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has determined that the cash incentives under the Plan will be based upon a targeted increase in Net Operating Income of the Company. For this purpose, the calculation of Net Operating Income excludes non-operating gains and losses and all securities gains and losses. The Compensation Committee also approved, based on specified levels of Net Operating Income, the following thresholds and target payments for the following executive officers: Executive Officer Cash Incentive Payout - ----------------- --------------------- Threshold Target --------- ------ (95% of Target) Chief Executive Officer $2,500 $61,500 (Ralph E. Coffman, Jr.) President of Oak Hill Banks $2,000 $49,200 (Scott J. Hinsch, Jr.) Executive Vice President & Secretary $1,600 $39,400 (Ron J. Copher) Executive Vice President $1,600 $39,400 (Miles R. Armentrout) Executive Vice President $1,600 $39,400 (David G. Ratz) Executive Vice President $1,600 $39,400 (D. Bruce Knox) The Compensation Committee did not establish a maximum payment under the Plan. If the Company's targeted increase in Net Operating Income is realized, the total amount to be paid to the executive officers is $268,300. No payments will be made for performance below the threshold level of Net Operating Income and no payments will be made if the Company's consolidated allowance for loan losses is below a targeted level. In addition, the cash incentive payments under the Plan will be reduced if the non-performing loans of the Company exceed one percent (1%) of total loans.
