DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Plan is described in the following questions and answers.  Holders of the Company’s common stock who do not participate in the Plan will continue to receive cash, either by check or direct deposit, for the payment of cash dividends declared by the Company.

General Description; Eligibility; Enrollment.

1.   What is the purpose of the Plan?

The purpose of the Plan is to provide holders of shares of the Company’s common stock with a convenient and economical means of acquiring additional Shares.  Under the Plan, shareholders will be able to automatically reinvest cash dividends in purchases of additional Shares.  To the extent that the Company issues previously authorized but unissued Shares under the Plan, the Company will augment its capital and receive additional funds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

2.   What are the advantages of the Plan?

The Plan enables shareholders to purchase additional Shares at the market price without incurring brokerage commissions, service charges or dealer markups.  Full investment of funds is possible under the Plan because the Plan permits fractions of Shares, as well as full Shares, to be credited to a participant’s account.  Participants will be credited with dividends on full and fractional Shares held under the Plan.

3.   Who is eligible to participate in the Plan; Are all dividends covered by the Plan?

All holders of record of the Company’s common stock are eligible to participate in the Plan.  However, dividends paid with respect to restricted shares issued under the Company’s stock incentive plan(s) or other employee benefit plans may not be reinvested in Shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders whose Shares are registered in the name of a broker or nominee and who wish to participate in the Plan (without transferring Shares into the shareholder’s name) must make appropriate arrangements with their broker or nominee.

4.   How does an eligible shareholder participate?

An eligible shareholder may enroll in the Plan by signing an Authorization Form and returning it to Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., which is acting as the Company’s agent in administration of the Plan (the “Agent”).  An Authorization Form is enclosed with this Prospectus.  Additional forms may be obtained at any time by request to the Agent. You may also enroll in the Plan online at the Agent’s website: http://shareholder.broadridge.com/communitytrustbancorp. You may contact the Agent as shown below:

Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc.

Written mail communications: P.O. Box 1342, Brentwood, NY 11717

E-mail:   shareholder@broadridge.com

Internet: http://shareholder.broadridge.com/communitytrustbancorp

Toll-free telephone: 866-202-3034

International toll telephone: 720-358-3637

5.   When may a shareholder enroll in the Plan?

An eligible shareholder may enroll in the Plan at any time.  Once a shareholder is enrolled in the Plan, his or her dividends will continue to be reinvested until he or she: (i) withdraws from the Plan; (ii) sells all of his or her Shares; or (iii) the Plan is terminated.

If an Authorization Form specifying reinvestment of dividends is received by the Agent on or before the record date established for a particular dividend, reinvestment will commence with that dividend.  Dividend payment dates for the Company’s common stock and the related record dates are typically as follows:

Approximate Record Date	Approximate Dividend Payment Date
March 15 June 15 September 15 December 15	April 1 July 1 October 1 January 1

If the Authorization Form is received after the record date established for a particular dividend, then the reinvestment of dividends will not begin until the dividend payment date following the next record date.

6.   What does the Authorization Form provide?

The Authorization Form directs the Company to pay all cash dividends on all Shares (other than restricted shares as described under Question 3 above) then or subsequently registered in the participant’s name to the Agent.  The Authorization Form also appoints the Agent as the participant’s agent to reinvest such cash dividends in additional Shares and to act as custodian of Shares purchased and held for the participant’s account under the Plan.

Costs.

7.   Are there any expenses to participants in connection with purchases under the Plan?

No.  Participants will incur no brokerage commissions, service charges or markups for the purchases made under the Plan.  All costs of administration of the Plan will be paid by the Company.  However, the Company’s funding of administration of the Plan does not include sales of Shares acquired under the Plan.  Participants will incur customary brokerage charges and commissions in connection with sale of their Shares in the Plan.  See Question No. 17, below.

Purchases and Price of Shares Sold under the Plan.

8.   How many Shares will be purchased for participants?

The number of Shares to be purchased depends on the amount of dividends and the purchase price of the Shares.  A participant’s account will be credited with the number of Shares, including fractional Shares computed to four decimal places, equal to the total amount to be invested divided by the purchase price per Share.

9.   What is the purchase price of the Shares?

The price per Share to the participants for Shares purchased with participant’s cash dividends will depend on whether the Company elects to issue authorized but previously unissued Shares or purchase Shares in the open market to provide the Shares to be purchased by participants.  If the Company issues previously unissued shares, the price per Share to the participants will be the closing price reported on NASDAQ on the dividend payment date.  If the Company elects to have the Agent purchase Shares in the open market, the purchase price for the Plan will be the average of the actual market price for all Shares purchased for the Plan for that dividend payment date.

Administration.

10.   Who administers the Plan for participants?

Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., as Agent for the Company, administers the Plan for participants, keeps records, sends statements of account to participants, acts as custodian of Shares purchased in the participant’s name with reinvested dividends, and performs other duties relating to the Plan.

Reports to Participants.

11.   What kind of reports will be sent to participants in the Plan?

Participants will receive a summary of transactions, including effective purchase price and number of Shares acquired on a quarterly basis, as soon as practicable after each dividend payment date.  Participants will also receive a cumulative statement annually, showing reinvested dividends and all transactions for the year.  These statements are a record of the cost of purchase of Shares under the Plan and should be retained for tax purposes.  The total amount of dividends paid to the participant, including amounts reinvested, will be reported annually to the participant, the Internal Revenue Service and, depending upon the residence of the participant, to state taxing authorities.  As a shareholder, each participant will receive copies of the Company’s annual and quarterly reports to shareholders and proxy statements.

Dividends.

12.   Will participants be credited with dividends on Shares held in their accounts under the Plan?

Yes.  As the record holder for the Shares held in accounts under the Plan, participants will receive dividends on all Plan Shares held on the dividend record date, and such dividends will be credited to a participant’s account with respect to both full and fractional Shares held in the participant’s account.  Such dividends will automatically be reinvested in additional Shares.

Certificates for Shares.

13.   Will certificates be issued for Shares purchased under the Plan?

Unless requested, the Company will not issue to participants certificates for Shares purchased under the Plan.  The number of Shares purchased for a participant’s account under the Plan will be shown on the statements of account sent to participants.  This feature protects against loss, theft or destruction of stock certificates.

Certificates for any number of whole Shares credited to a participant’s account under the Plan will be issued to the participant upon written request.  Dividends with respect to Shares the certificates for which have been issued to a participant from his or her Plan account will nevertheless continue to be reinvested unless the participant thereafter notifies the Agent of withdrawal of his or her Shares from the Plan.  See Question 14, below.  Dividends on any uncertificated Shares remaining in a participant’s account will also continue to be reinvested.

Plan accounts will be maintained in the names in which participants’ Shares were registered at the time the participants enrolled in the Plan.  Therefore, certificates for whole Shares will be similarly registered when issued at the request of a participant.  A participant who would like his or her Shares registered and issued in a different name must contact the Agent and comply with any applicable transfer requirements.  A participant who wishes to pledge Shares credited to his or her Plan account must first withdraw such Shares from the account.

Withdrawal of Shares in Plan Accounts.

14.   How does a participant withdraw his or her Shares and discontinue the reinvestment of dividends under the Plan?

A participant may discontinue the reinvestment of dividends with respect to the participant’s Shares in his or her Plan account at any time by notifying the Agent. Contact information for the Agent is shown under Question 4 above. Direct Registration Shares for whole Shares withdrawn from the Plan will be issued to the participant.   After withdrawal from the Plan, cash dividends on Shares withdrawn from a participant’s account will be paid to the participant in cash.

15.   What happens to fractional Shares when a participant withdraws all of his or her Shares from the Plan?

If a participant’s Plan account contains a fractional Share for which withdrawal is requested (or the Plan is terminated), the Agent will make a cash payment to the participant based on the closing price of the Shares. This cash payment, together with Direct Registration Shares being withdrawn from the Plan, will be mailed directly to the withdrawing participant by the Agent.

16.   What happens to a participant’s Plan account if all Shares held by a participant outside the Plan are transferred or sold?

If a participant disposes of all Shares held outside the Plan, the Agent will nevertheless continue to reinvest the dividends on the Shares held in the participant’s Plan account until the participant notifies the Agent that the participant wishes to withdraw such Shares from his or her Plan account.

17.   May a participant sell his or her Shares held in the Plan?

Yes.  Upon a participant’s written request, the Agent will sell any number of whole Shares in the participant’s Plan account.  The Agent will also attempt to sell fractional Shares in the participant’s Plan account if requested by the participant.  However, if sale of fractional Shares is not reasonably practical or economically feasible, the Company or the Agent may instead pay to the participant a cash payment for the fractional Shares requested to be sold, based on the closing price of the Shares. The participant will be responsible for all commissions, brokerage fees and similar transaction costs incurred in connection with sales of Shares effected by the Agent at the participant’s request.  The Agent will pay to the participant the net proceeds (aggregate selling price less transaction costs) of sales of Shares effected by the Agent, or if applicable, the cash payment for fractional Shares requested to be sold.

Alternatively, a participant may request withdrawal of any number of whole Shares in his or her Plan account and that certificates be issued to the participant for such Shares.  The participant may then make his or her own arrangements for sale or transfer of the Shares.  However, certificates will not be issued for fractional Shares and participants may dispose of such Shares only by sales effected through the Agent or acceptance of a cash payment as described above.

Taxes.

18.   What are the Federal Income Tax consequences of Participation in the Plan?

A shareholder who participates in the Plan will have to report as dividend income an amount equal to the fair market value of the Shares acquired for his or her Plan account.  Thus, cash dividends declared and paid by the Company will constitute income to the shareholders even though immediately reinvested in additional Shares.  In addition, the amount of brokerage commissions paid by the Company on a participant’s behalf is to be treated as a distribution which is subject to income tax in the same manner as a cash dividend.

A participant’s tax basis for Shares acquired under the Plan will be the market price of the Shares on the date acquired, plus the amount of brokerage commissions paid by the Company, and treated as income to the participant, as described above.  A participant who sells his or her Shares held in the Plan or who receives a cash payment for a fractional Share then held in his or her account, will realize gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the price at which the Shares sold (or liquidated through the cash payment) were originally credited to the participant’s Plan account. A participant’s holding period for Shares acquired under the Plan generally will be the date on which the Shares are credited to the participant’s Plan account. For further information as to tax consequences of participation in the Plan, participants should consult their own tax advisors.  Information for income tax purposes for participants in the Plan will be printed on the statement of account sent to each participant.

Other Information.

19.   What happens if the Company has a common stock rights offering, issues a stock dividend or declares a stock split?

A shareholder’s participation in any rights offering will be based upon both Shares held by the participant outside the Plan and Shares (including fractional Shares) credited to a participant’s Plan account.  Shares resulting from stock splits or stock dividends with respect to Shares, both full and fractional, credited to a participant’s account, will be added to the account.

20.   How will a participant’s Shares held in his or her Plan account be voted at a meeting of shareholders?

All Shares (including fractional Shares) credited to a participant’s Plan account will be voted as the participant directs.  If on the record date for a meeting of shareholders there are Shares credited to a participant’s Plan account, the participant will be sent proxy materials for such meeting.  When the participant returns an executed proxy, all Shares will be voted as indicated.  Alternatively, if a participant so elects, the participant may vote his or her Shares in person at the shareholders’ meeting.

21.   What is the responsibility of the Agent under the Plan?

In administering the Plan, neither the Agent nor the Company will not be liable for any acts done in good faith or for any good faith omission to act, including without limitation, any claim of liability arising out of failure to terminate a participant’s account upon the participant’s death, the prices at which Shares are purchased for the participant’s account, the times when purchases are made or fluctuations in the market value of the Shares.

Participants should recognize that neither the Company nor the Agent can provide any assurance of a profit or protection against loss on any Shares purchased under the Plan.

22.   May the Plan be changed or discontinued?

The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, including the period between a dividend record date and the related dividend payment date.  It also reserves the right to make modifications to the Plan.  Participants will be notified within 30 days of any such suspension, termination or modification.

23.   How is the Plan to be interpreted?

Any question of interpretation arising under the Plan will be determined by the Company and any such determination will be final.

24.   Where should correspondence regarding the Plan be directed?

All correspondence regarding the Plan shall be directed to either the Corporate Secretary, Community Trust Bancorp, Inc., P.O. Box 2947, Pikeville, Kentucky 41502, or the Agent.  Contact information for the Agent is provided in response to Question 4 above.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds realized by the Company from sales of its authorized and unissued common stock pursuant to the Plan will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.  The Company does not know either the number of Shares that will be purchased under the Plan or the prices at which such Shares will be sold to participants.  The Company will receive no proceeds from purchases by the Plan of Shares in the open market.

LEGAL OPINION

INDEMNIFICATION

Article VI of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provides that any person who was or is a party or threatened party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company: (a) shall be indemnified (and may be indemnified if made a part to such proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was serving as a Company employee or agent, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture or other enterprise) by the Company against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative suit), even if he is not successful on the merits, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company (and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful); (b) shall be indemnified (and may be indemnified if made a party to such proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was serving as a Company employee or agent, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise) for expenses of a derivative suit (a suit by a shareholder alleging a breach by a director or officer of a duty owed to the Company), even if he is not successful on the merits, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company provided that no such indemnification may be made in accordance with this clause (b) if he is adjudged liable to the Company, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication, but in view of all the circumstances, he is entitled to indemnification; and (c) shall be indemnified by the Company for all expenses of such litigation when he is successful on the merits.

The indemnification described in clauses (a) and (b) above shall be made only upon a determination, by (i) a majority vote of the disinterested directors, or (ii) the stockholders, that indemnification is proper because the applicable standard of conduct has been met.  The Board of Directors of the Company or the stockholders may authorize the advancement  of litigation expenses to a director or officer upon receipt of an undertaking by such director or officer to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified for them.  The indemnification and the advancement of expenses provided for by Article VI are not deemed exclusive of any rights the indemnitee may have under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Article X of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provides that a director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of his duties as a director, provided that this provision will not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for the following: (a) for any transaction in which the director’s personal financial interest is in conflict with the financial interests of the Company or its shareholders; (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or are known to the director to be a violation of law; (c) for any vote for or assent to an unlawful distribution to shareholders as prohibited under Section 271B.8-330 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes; or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  Article X is applicable with respect to any such breach of duties by a director of the Company as a director notwithstanding that such director thereafter ceases to be a director.  Article X inures to the personal benefit of such director’s heirs, executors and administrators.

In so far as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 17.  Undertaking.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)           To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)           To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)           To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a  fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;

(iii)           To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (1) (i) and (1) (ii) do not apply if the information to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
