CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 27, 2019, as a result of the assessment by Riverview Financial Corporation’s board of directors of the future corporate governance needs of the Corporation, it was determined that the board of directors should ultimately be reduced by two board seats, to be accomplished as follows:

(1) Mr. Carl Metzgar, a Class 1 director, resigned as a Class 1 director effective as of February 27, 2019 and was immediately appointed by the board of directors to serve for the unexpired term of the Class 3 board seat left open by the resignation of a member of the board of directors earlier in 2019. As a result, Mr. Metzgar is now a Class 3 member of the board of directors, serving a term that will end at the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders. He will continue to serve on the Loan Committee;

(2) the Class 1 board position left open by the resignation of Mr. Metzgar, as stated above, will not be filled and, as a result, the board took immediate action to reduce the full size of the board of directors to 15 members; and

(3) the Class 3 board position of Mr. Charles Johnston, which will be resigned effective as of the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders as a result of the age limits imposed on directors by the Corporation’s bylaws, will not be filled and, as a result, the full size of the board will be automatically reduced, without further action, to 14 members, effective as of the 2019 annual meeting.

In arriving at the structure used for the reorganization of the board of directors, the board took into account that the reorganization and reduction of board seats that was implemented maintains an equal number of “legacy” Riverview directors and “legacy” CBT Financial Corporation (“CBT”) directors, as required by the Agreement and Plan of Merger by which Riverview and CBT merged.
