<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">(<font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">e) On December 4, 2017 the Board of Directors of Farmers Capital Bank Corporation (the &ldquo;<u>Company</u>&rdquo;) adopted its Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan (&ldquo;<u>Incentive </u><u>Plan</u>&rdquo;) effective as of January 1, 2018. The Incentive Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to further the growth and financial success of the Company and its shareholders by providing certain empl<font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">oyees of the Company, who are largely responsible for the management, growth and protection of the business of the Company, with cash incentives to encourage them to continue in the service of the Company.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">The Compensation Committee of the Board of Direct<font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">ors determines participating employees as well as the annual goals for achieving a cash incentive</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">. The annual goals for 2018 include Company-wide goals, which are tailored to the executive&rsquo;s role. For example, the annual goals for 2018 include a Company annual net income goal, a core deposit growth goal, a loan growth goal</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">, and an efficiency ratio goal. The goals applicable to a particular executive (as well as the weighting of such goals) are tailored to each individual to appropriately reflect the performance metrics that a particular executive can personally impact through individual performance. In addition to such Company-wide goals, each participating executive will also have qualifiers setting minimum expectations that must be met in order for such executive to be eligible for the incentive. These qualifiers will be tailored to each individual based on such individual&rsquo;s role and will range among asset quality metrics, business development expectations, and the results of regulatory exams.</font></p>

(
e) On December 4, 2017 the Board of Directors of Farmers Capital Bank Corporation (the "
Company
") adopted its Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan ("
Incentive
Plan
") effective as of January 1, 2018. The Incentive Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to further the growth and financial success of the Company and its shareholders by providing certain empl
oyees of the Company, who are largely responsible for the management, growth and protection of the business of the Company, with cash incentives to encourage them to continue in the service of the Company.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Direct
ors determines participating employees as well as the annual goals for achieving a cash incentive
. The annual goals for 2018 include Company-wide goals, which are tailored to the executive's role. For example, the annual goals for 2018 include a Company annual net income goal, a core deposit growth goal, a loan growth goal
, and an efficiency ratio goal. The goals applicable to a particular executive (as well as the weighting of such goals) are tailored to each individual to appropriately reflect the performance metrics that a particular executive can personally impact through individual performance. In addition to such Company-wide goals, each participating executive will also have qualifiers setting minimum expectations that must be met in order for such executive to be eligible for the incentive. These qualifiers will be tailored to each individual based on such individual's role and will range among asset quality metrics, business development expectations, and the results of regulatory exams.
The following named executive officers were granted
incentive performance targets for the Company's 2018 fiscal year: Lloyd C. Hillard, Jr., J. David Smith, Jr., Mark A. Hampton, James L. Grubbs, and Rickey D. Harp
