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 December 12, 2025, Michael J. Pacyna Jr.'s employment as Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank (the "Bank"), the wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), was terminated.

In connection with his termination, Mr. Pacyna and the Bank entered into a separation agreement and release (the "Separation Agreement"). The Separation Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of Mr. Pacyna's separation from the Bank including severance pay for 28 weeks and payment of his 2025 executive bonus payable in January 2026 in an aggregate amount equal to $239,975.02. Further, Mr. Pacyna may also be eligible for conditional supplementary severance pay of 80% of his last regular weekly salary for up to an additional 12 weeks which in the aggregate could equal $46,587.64. In addition, the Bank will continue to pay its employer-portion of health insurance premiums through June 30, 2026, in an aggregate amount equal to $10,930.86. If Mr. Pacyna is not employed or is not offered health insurance through a new employer at July 1, 2026, the Bank will pay its employer-portion of health insurance premiums through September 30, 2026. Mr. Pacyna’s covenant not to compete under his current employment agreement was reduced from 2 years to 15 months. Mr. Pacyna’s supplemental executive employment plan will remain in effect under its terms. The Separation Agreement also contains standard release of claims provision. The Separation Agreement does not become effective or enforceable until the seven-day revocation period has ended.

A copy of the Separation Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement.

All of the departments that were managed by the Chief Credit Officer will now be reassigned to the Chief Risk Officer of the Bank.
