ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 14, 2012, the Board of Directors of National Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) elected John E. Dooley to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to complete the unexpired term resulting from the death of Jack Wayne Bowling. Mr. Dooley will serve on the Company’s Audit and Compensation Committees.
Mr. Dooley has served as the CEO of the Virginia Tech Foundation since July 2012. Prior to being appointed to that position, he served as the Foundation’s COO and as Vice President for Outreach and International Affairs at Virginia Tech. The Board made an affirmative determination that Mr. Dooley qualifies as an independent director under the NASDAQ listing standards.
Mr. Dooley will be compensated for his service on the Company’s Board in the same manner as other non-employee directors of the Company, which is described in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the SEC on March 14, 2011.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Dooley and any other persons pursuant to which he was elected as a director. Mr. Dooley is not a party to any transaction with the Company, or its wholly-owned subsidiary, National Bank of Blacksburg, that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K.
