Dear CCFNB Stockholder:
You are cordially invited to join us at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of CCFNB Bancorp,
Inc. (the Corporation) at First Columbia Bank & Trust Co.s Operations facility located at 992
Central Road, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 10:00 A.M.
At this meeting, we will vote on the matters described in the Proxy Statement. We know that it is
not practical for most stockholders to attend the Annual Meeting in person. In addition, annual
meetings are not the most efficient way to communicate with our stockholders. Therefore, we
encourage you to submit any questions you may have prior to the Annual Meeting to allow us time to
gather information to adequately answer your questions at the meeting. We also encourage you to
visit our website at www.firstcolumbiabank.com for up-to-the-moment news about the Corporation. As
an alternative, you may call for current news releases via our facsimile on demand service at (570)
387-4454.
We are making available to you our Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Proxy Statement,
Annual Report on Form 10-K and a proxy card. Please submit your proxy. Your vote is important.
Brokers holding shares in street name for their customers generally may not vote on certain
matters, such as the election of directors, unless they receive voting instructions from their
customers. Such shares for which brokers have not received voting instructions from their
customers are called broker non-votes. If your shares are held in street name, we encourage
you to instruct your broker as to how you want them to vote your shares.
We are pleased to take advantage of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule allowing companies
to furnish proxy materials to their stockholders by the Internet. We have mailed to our
stockholders the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how
to access the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form
10-K by the Internet and how to vote online. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy
Materials and the Proxy Statement also contain instructions on how you can receive a paper copy of
the proxy materials.
The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials was mailed to our stockholders on or about
March 30, 2010. The Proxy Statement is being made available to our stockholders on or about March
30, 2010.
Thank you for your support of CCFNB Bancorp, Inc.
Sincerely,
Lance O. Diehl

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
|
|
|
Q.
|
|
How do I obtain access to this Proxy Statement and the other proxy materials? |
A.
|
|
We are making this Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our
Annual Report on Form 10-K and proxy card available to our stockholders by the Internet
pursuant to rules recently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. On or about
March 30, 2010, we mailed to our stockholders the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy
Materials containing instructions on how to access this Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual
Meeting of Stockholders and our Annual Report on Form 10-K by the Internet and how to vote
online. As a result, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you
request a copy. All stockholders will be able to access the proxy materials on a website
referred to in the Notice and in this Proxy Statement, and to request to receive a printed set
of the proxy materials by mail free of charge. If you would like to receive a printed set of
the proxy materials by mail, you should follow the instructions included in the Notice. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
Who is soliciting my vote? |
A:
|
|
The Board of Directors of CCFNB Bancorp, Inc. is soliciting your vote
at the 2010 annual meeting of its stockholders. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
What am I voting on? |
A:
|
|
Two proposals. The item number below refers to the item number on the proxy card. |
|
Item 1. |
|
Election of five Class 2 directors. |
|
|
Item 2. |
|
Ratification of appointment of J. H. Williams & Co., LLP, Certified
Public Accountants, as independent registered public accounting firm of the
Corporation. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
Who can vote? |
A:
|
|
All stockholders of record at the close of business on March 22, 2010
are entitled to vote. Holders of the Corporations Common Stock are
entitled to one vote per share. Fractional shares, such as those in
the dividend reinvestment plan, may not be voted. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
How does my vote count? |
A:
|
|
Each share is entitled to cast one vote for each proposal. For
example, if you can vote 100 shares, you can cast up to 100 votes for
each proposal. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
How many votes are required to elect directors? |
A:
|
|
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. The five
candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be elected. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
How many votes are required to ratify the appointment of J. H.
Williams & Co., LLP, Certified Public Accountants, as independent
registered public accounting firm of the Corporation? |
A:
|
|
A majority of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or by
proxy at the meeting, assuming a quorum is present, is required to
ratify such appointment. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
Who can attend the meeting? |
A:
|
|
All stockholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed
proxies, may attend the meeting. Seating, however, is limited.
Please indicate your wish to attend when voting. Everyone must check
in at the registration desk at the meeting. Light refreshments will
be served; however, lunch will not be provided. |
2
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
How do I vote? |
A:
|
|
Complete, date, sign and mail the proxy card in the enclosed postage
pre-paid envelope unless other voting opportunities are made available
through your broker. Internet and telephone voting are also available.
Instructions are provided on the proxy card and in the Notice of
Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. By voting, you will
authorize the individuals named on the proxy card, referred to as the
proxies, to vote your shares according to your instructions. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
What happens if I do not indicate my preference for one of the items? |
A:
|
|
For a non-routine matter, such as the election of directors (Item 1),
if you do not indicate how you wish to vote for one or more of the
nominees for director, the proxies will vote FOR election of all the
nominees for Director named in this Proxy Statement, unless your
shares are held in street name. If your shares are held in street
name, your broker may not discretionarily vote your shares in
connection with the election of Directors; therefore, your vote may
not be counted. If you withhold your vote for any of the nominees,
this will be counted as a vote AGAINST that nominee. For a routine
matter, such as the ratification of the appointment of the independent
registered public accounting firm (Item 2), if you do not indicate how
you wish to vote, the proxies will vote FOR the ratification. If your
shares are held in street name, your broker may discretionarily vote
your shares in connection with this proposal. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
What if I vote and then change my mind? |
A:
|
|
You can revoke your proxy by writing to us, by submitting another
properly signed proxy card with a more recent date, by voting again
via telephone or Internet voting options, or by attending the meeting
and casting your vote in person. If your shares are held in street
name through a broker, any changes need to be made through them. Your
last vote will be the vote that is counted. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
How many votes must be present to hold the meeting? |
A:
|
|
A quorum is the presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of
the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares. As of the record
date, March 22, 2010, the Corporation had 2,241,250 shares of common
stock outstanding. There must be a quorum in order for the meeting to
be held. Abstentions are counted for purposes of determining the
presence or absence of a quorum, but are not considered to be votes
cast under Pennsylvania law. Brokers holding shares in street name
for their customers generally may not vote on certain matters, such as
the election of directors, unless they receive voting instructions
from their customers. Such shares for which brokers have not received
voting instructions from their customers are called broker
non-votes. Under Pennsylvania law, broker non-votes will be counted
to determine if a quorum is present with respect to any matter to be
voted upon by stockholders at the meeting only if such shares have
been voted at the meeting on another matter other than a procedural
motion. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
Does any single stockholder control as much as 5% of our shares of Common Stock? |
A:
|
|
No. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
Is my vote confidential? |
A:
|
|
Yes. Proxy cards, ballots and voting tabulations that identify
individual stockholders are kept confidential except in certain
circumstances where it is important to protect the interests of the
Corporation and its stockholders. Generally, only the judges of
election and the employees of American Stock Transfer & Trust Company
processing the votes will have access to your name. They will not
disclose your name as the author of any comments you include on the
proxy card unless you ask that your name be disclosed to management. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
Who will count the votes? |
A:
|
|
Employees of American Stock Transfer & Trust Company will tabulate the
votes prior to the meeting, and the judges of election will tabulate
all votes cast at the annual meeting as well as those votes previously
tabulated by American Stock Transfer. |
3
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
What shares are included in the proxy card? |
A:
|
|
The shares listed on your card or cards sent by the Corporation
represent all the shares of Common Stock held in your name (as
distinguished from those held in street name), including those held
in the dividend reinvestment plan. You will receive a separate card
or cards from your broker if you hold shares in street name. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
What does it mean if I get more than one proxy card? |
A:
|
|
It indicates that your shares are held in more than one account, such
as two brokerage accounts and registered in different names. You
should vote each of the proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares
are voted. We encourage you to register all of your brokerage
accounts in the same name and address for better stockholder service.
You may do this by contacting our transfer agent, American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, at 1-800-937-5449. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
How will the vote be communicated at the annual meeting? |
A.
|
|
The Judges of Election will announce the names of the five persons who received the most
votes for election as a Class 2 director and the results of the vote for external auditors. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
What happens if the meeting is postponed or adjourned? |
A.
|
|
Your proxy will still be good and may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting. You
will still be able to change or revoke your proxy until it is voted. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
How much did this proxy solicitation cost? |
A:
|
|
The Corporation has retained American Stock Transfer & Trust Company
to solicit and tabulate proxies from stockholders at an estimated fee
of $1,250.00, plus expenses. (Note that this fee does not include the
costs of making available, printing and mailing the proxy statements.)
Some of the directors, officers and other employees of the
Corporation also may solicit proxies personally, by telephone and by
mail. The Corporation will also reimburse brokerage houses and other
custodians for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding
proxy and solicitation material to the beneficial owners of Common
Stock. |
|
|
|
Q:
|
|
Whom can I call with any questions? |
A:
|
|
You may call American Stock Transfer & Trust Company at 1-800-937-5449
or visit their website: http://www.amstock.com. |
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS
Our Proxy Statement, Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and Proxy Card are available at the following website address:
http://www.amstock.com/ProxyServices/ViewMaterial.asp?CoNumber=07477.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Board of Directors consists of sixteen Directors, elected in three classes currently
consisting of four, six and six directors each, each class being elected for staggered three year
terms so that the term of one class only expires each year.
All of the members of the Board of Directors, except for Lance O. Diehl, President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Corporation and the Bank, are independent as defined by Rule 5605(a)(2) of
the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Chairman of the Board of Directors, Glenn A. Halterman, is
independent.
4
The Board of Directors administers its risk oversight function by requiring regular and
periodic reporting by management and through its committee structure. In addition to its
executive, nomination and audit committees, the Board of Directors of the Bank also maintains the
following active standing committees: Asset Liability Management Committee, Credit/Loan Committee,
Information Technology Committee and Trust Committee. Each of these committees have oversight
responsibility for the specific risks relating to the Banks activities within each such
committees scope. Each committee also reports regularly to the full Board of Directors.
NOMINATION PROCESS
All the independent members of our Board of Directors act as our nomination committee. Mr. Diehl
does not participate in this function. All of the other directors meet the independence standards
as set forth in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the listing standards for The NASDAQ Stock Market. The
principal duties of the nomination committee are:
|
|
|
Evaluation and selection of nominees for the Board of Directors; |
|
|
|
|
Consideration of qualifications for committee membership; |
|
|
|
|
Recommendations for revisions to our Code of Conduct and Ethics; and |
|
|
|
|
Evaluation of the Board of Directors and its committees. |
Whenever a stockholder recommends a person for director or a vacancy occurs, the nomination
committee uses the following criteria in making a decision:
|
|
|
Backgrounds and experiences of current directors; |
|
|
|
|
Specific knowledge and experience of a candidate; |
|
|
|
|
Specific knowledge-based need, for example, need for a director with knowledge of
the commercial real estate industry; |
|
|
|
|
Diversified geographies in which our directors live and work; |
|
|
|
|
Number of Board seats we want an odd number of seats; |
|
|
|
|
Whether a candidate has the time available to fully participate in the
responsibilities of the Board and its committees; and |
|
|
|
|
Whether a candidate holds at least $1,000 in market value of our common stock. |
The nomination committee tries to reach a unanimous consensus on a nominee for director.
As Director terms expire the Board will consider the need for replacement based on the review of
the attributes of the remaining directors.
In addition to recommending potential candidates to the nomination committee, a stockholder may
nominate a person for director in accordance with the requirements of our bylaws and mail the
required information for the candidate to CCFNB Bancorp, Inc. c/o Nomination Committee, 232 East
Street, Bloomsburg, PA 17815. The nomination committee has not adopted a written charter.
CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS
Our Board has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics governing the principal executive officers of
the Corporation, its subsidiary, First Columbia Bank & Trust Co., and all indirect subsidiaries.
This Code of Conduct and Ethics governs the activities of not only our principal executive
officers, but also our employees, agents and representatives and establishes guidelines for
professional conduct in the workplace. Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, this Code of
Conduct and Ethics contains a provision for a person to report an actual or apparent violation of
this code as well as a complaint regarding our accounting or auditing matters to the Audit
Committee without fear of dismissal or retaliation of any kind. All reports or complaints under
this Whistleblower provision are also kept in confidence. The Code of Conduct and Ethics is
available on our website at www.firstcolumbiabank.com.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Executive officers and directors and beneficial owners of more than ten percent of the Common
Stock must file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership with
the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
We have reviewed the reports and written representations from the named executive officers and
directors. The Corporation believes that all filing requirements were met during 2009 with the

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
THIS SECTION PROVIDES BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR DIRECTORS AND DESCRIBES THEIR MEMBERSHIP
ON BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMMITTEES, THEIR ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS AND THEIR COMPENSATION.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Item 1 on Proxy Card
The Corporation currently has sixteen directors divided into three classes: four directors are in
Class 1; six directors are in Class 2; and six directors are in Class 3. Each director holds
office for a three-year term. The terms of the classes are staggered, so that the term of office
of one class expires each year.
At this meeting, the stockholders will elect five Class 2 directors. Mr. Paul E. Reichart, who has
served as Director since 1983, will be retiring from the Board of Directors before the annual
meeting, having reached the mandatory retirement age of 72 set forth in the Corporations bylaws.
The Board of Directors will not be nominating a director to fill Mr. Reicharts seat. Charles B.
Pursel, who also has attained age 72, has been grandfathered from mandatory retirement pursuant to
an amendment to the Corporations bylaws made in connection with the merger of the Corporation with
Columbia Financial Corporation in 2008. Unless you withhold authority to vote for one or more of
the nominees, the persons named as proxies intend to vote for the election of the following five
nominees for Class 2 director. All of the following nominees are recommended by the Board of
Directors:
Lance O. Diehl
Glenn E. Halterman
Joanne I. Keenan
W. Bruce McMichael, Jr.
Charles B. Pursel
All nominees have consented to serve as directors. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe
that any of the five nominees would be unable to act as a director. However, if any director is
unable to stand for election, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may designate a
substitute. If a substitute nominee is named, the proxies will vote for the election of the
substitute.
The following information includes the age of each nominee and current director as of March 1,
2010. All directors of the Corporation are also directors of the bank. For former directors of
Columbia Financial Corporation, service includes service as a director of Columbia Financial
Corporation prior to the merger.
The Corporation considers each listed directors years of service to our Board of Directors,
business and industry experience, involvement in civic organizations and ties to the local
communities in our market area, as attributes that provide the skills and knowledge necessary to be
a vital and contributing member of the Board of Directors.

Fees
Except for the Chairman of the Board, Directors of the Bank received $500 for each meeting of the
Board of Directors attended and $300 for each committee meeting attended, except Loan/Credit
Committee. The Directors on the Loan/Credit Committee may meet several times throughout the month
but receive compensation for only one meeting per month. The Chairman of the Board receives $2,500
per month.
Deferred Compensation Agreements for Directors
In 1992, the banks predecessor, Columbia County Farmers National Bank, entered into a
non-qualified deferred compensation plan agreement with Paul E. Reichart, then serving as the
Corporations and the banks President and Chief Executive Officer, who served as Vice Chairman of
the Board during 2009. Under the Agreement, if Mr. Reichart served as an officer of the bank until
he attained 65 years of age, the bank would pay him 120 consecutive monthly payments commencing on
the first day of the month following his 65th birthday. Monthly payments under the agreement in
the amount of $1,875 each began in February, 2003. Mr. Reichart received $22,500 in 2009 from this
deferred compensation arrangement reported in the Directors Compensation table above.
In 1990 and again in 1994, the banks predecessor, Columbia County Farmers National Bank, entered
into two non-qualified deferred fee agreements with Elwood R. Harding, Jr., to establish for him
separate non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Each of these plans was limited to a four-year
fee deferral period. The plans provided for a payout to Mr. Harding at age 65. In 2008, Mr.
Harding requested and the bank amended the plans to provide for an early payout on January 2, 2009
of the aggregate accrued balance under the plans on December 31, 2008 of $190,834.
Directors have the option of receiving or deferring their directors fees under a directors
deferred fee plan established in 2003 which allows a participating director to defer all or a
portion of such fees until the year following the expiration of the directors term. Each year, the
director has the option of participating for that year. Payments are then made over specified
terms under these arrangements for up to a ten-year period. Interest is to accrue on these
deferred fees at a five-year certificate of deposit rate, which was set at 4.62% in 2008 and will
continue until reset in January 2013. Three directors, Robert M. Brewington, Jr., Willard H. Kile,
Jr. and W. Bruce McMichael, Jr. have elected to participate in this program. At December 31, 2009,
the accrued balance for Mr. Brewington was $89,077; for Mr. Kile was $104,311; and for Mr.
McMichael was $49,906. The amount of interest earned and accrued in 2009 for each such participant
is reported in the Directors Compensation table above.
On January 1, 2009, a new directors deferred fee plan was implemented. Each year, a participating
director has the option of participating for that year. Payments are then made over specified
terms under these arrangements up to a ten-year period. Interest is to accrue on these deferred
fees at a five-year certificate of deposit rate, which was set at 4% in 2009 and will continue
until reset in January 2014. Two directors, Robert M. Brewington, Jr. and Willard H. Kile, Jr.,
have elected to participate in this program. At December 31, 2009, the accrued balance for Mr.
Brewington was $15,492; and for Mr. Kile was $18,239. The amount of interest earned and accrued in
2009 for each such participant is reported in the Directors Compensation table above. These same
two directors have elected to participate in this program for 2010.
INFORMATION ABOUT EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
In addition to Lance O. Diehl, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and the
Bank, who also serves as a Director of the Corporation and the Bank, the Executive Officers of the
Corporation and the Bank are as follows:
Edwin A. Wenner is Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, serving in that capacity
since 2003. He had been employed with the former Columbia County Farmers National Bank since May
1974. During this time, he has held duties as Teller, Technology Director, Internal Auditor, Loan
Officer, Community Office Manager, Credit Administrator, Vice President and Senior Vice President.
Mr. Wenner has direct supervision over areas which include data deposit operations, information
technology, human resources, training, security and branch administration.

Jeffrey T. Arnold is Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. He joined First
Columbia Bank & Trust Co. in October 2008 with over 15 years experience, most recently as Assistant
Vice President of Finance with Jersey Shore State Bank, Jersey Shore, PA. Mr. Arnold is an
experienced Certified Public Accountant and Certified Internal Auditor. Mr. Arnold has direct
supervision over areas which include regulatory reporting, asset/liability and investment

Paul K. Page is Senior Vice President and Chief Lending Officer. He was a Senior Vice President and

that point, he joined the staff of First Columbia Bank & Trust Co. as a Senior Vice President and

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The bank has an Executive Committee, comprised of nine directors, which reviews human resource
matters. The Executive Committee discusses and reviews evaluations of and compensation for all
management positions within the bank.
Because all of our independent directors deem executive compensation to be very important to the
overall development and performance of the Corporation, they sit as our Committee on Executive
Compensation and are solely responsible for compensation decisions involving Messrs. Halterman and
Diehl. Mr. Diehl does not participate in discussions and decisions concerning his own individual
performance and compensation, but does participate in discussions and decisions regarding Messrs.
Wenners and Pages performance and compensation. Mr. Halterman does not participate in discussions
concerning his own compensation.
Over the past year, the Board, sitting as the Committee on Executive Compensation, met one time to
discuss the performance of the executive officers and to compare their performance with peers.
Moreover, the Executive Committee met one time during 2009 to discuss the performance of all the
officers excluding the executive officers. Officers salaries were also compared with peer reports.
Annual compensation for our senior executives includes salary, bonus and the banks contribution to
the executives 401K profit sharing plan. This is similar to the compensation programs for most of
our peer group banking companies.
We considered Messrs. Diehls, Wenners and Pages pay and annual bonus appropriate because of
their roles in creating a culture of high performance with high integrity and in leading the
Corporation to strong financial results in 2009:
|
- |
|
Revenues increased 36.4% to $33,870,000 |
|
|
- |
|
Earnings from continuing operations grew 90.9% to $5,877,000 |
|
|
- |
|
Loans increased 3.2% to $330,489,000 |
|
|
- |
|
Return on average total capital was 9.25% |
In addition, we considered Messrs. Diehls, Wenners and Pages leadership in meeting the
operational and strategic goals established for the bank in the beginning of 2009.
As required by the Securities and Exchange Commissions smaller reporting company rules, the
following table sets forth information for the year ended December 31, 2009, concerning the
compensation of the Companys principal executive officer and two other executive officers whose
total compensation exceeded $100,000 (the Named Executive Officers).

Amounts reported are the increase in the aggregate balance under supplemental executive
retirement plans described below under Deferred Compensation Agreements. |
In November, 2007, in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger between the Corporation
and Columbia Financial Corporation, the Corporation and the Bank entered into Employment Agreements
with Mr. Diehl, Mr. Wenner and Mr. Page. The terms of the Agreements are twenty-four months,
commencing July 18, 2008, the effective date of the merger. The terms of each Executives
employment shall be automatically extended for successive additional terms of one year each, unless
the Executive or the Employers give written notice to the other on or before the first day of the
fourth month prior to the Termination Date of the then current term of intention not to renew.
Under the terms and conditions of the Agreements, Mr. Diehl is entitled to receive an annual base
salary of not less than $150,000; Mr. Wenner of not less than $125,000 and Mr. Page of not less
than $120,000. Increases in compensation will be determined in accordance with the annual
performance evaluation by the Board of Directors. In December 2009 the Board of Directors approved
annual base salaries for 2010 of $193,800 for Mr. Diehl; $142,800 for Mr. Wenner and $132,600 for
Mr. Page. An Executive may terminate his employment upon one hundred twenty (120) days written
notice. In the event the Employment Agreement is terminated by the Employers without cause, or by
the Executive for good reason, the Bank shall pay the Executive his then current Annual Base Salary
(minus applicable taxes and withholdings) prorated through the date of termination, together with
the dollar value of any accrued vacation and the amount of any unreimbursed business expenses as of
the date of termination,
13
plus an amount equal to one times the Executives Annual Base Salary (minus applicable taxes and
withholdings), unless, in the case of Mr. Diehl, the termination occurs within twelve (12) months
after the occurrence of a Change in Control, in which case the Employers shall pay to Mr. Diehl an
amount equal to 2.99 times his Annual Base Salary (minus applicable taxes and withholdings). The
Executive also will be entitled to the continuation of life insurance, health and dental plans and
other employee benefits made available to and on a cost basis consistent with all employees of the
Employers for one (1) year after termination, unless in the case of Mr. Diehl, such termination
occurs within twelve (12) months after the occurrence of a Change in Control, in which event
continuation of said benefits shall be for three (3) years.
The Agreements also provide for a restrictive covenant prohibiting the Executive from
competing with the Corporation for a period of two years, in the case of Mr. Diehl, and one year,
in the case of either Mr. Wenner or Mr. Page, after termination of employment.
The compensation represented by amounts for 2009 set forth in the All Other Compensation column of
the Summary Compensation Table are set forth in the following table.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS
In 2003, the banks predecessor, Columbia County Farmers National Bank, entered into supplemental
executive retirement plan agreements with Mr. Diehl and Mr. Wenner to provide supplemental
retirement benefits commencing with retirement after having attained the normal retirement age of
60 specified in the agreements. The agreements provide for normal retirement benefits paid monthly
over a 15 year period commencing the month following the executives 60th birthday, at a
rate of $90,000 per year for Mr. Diehl and $50,000 per year for Mr. Wenner. If the executives
employment is terminated before normal retirement age absent a change in control and other than by
the bank for cause, the benefit payable to the executive will be the amount accrued in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the banks accounting records on the date of
termination of employment. If the executive is employed by the Bank at the time of a change in
control, the executive will automatically become entitled to the normal retirement benefit
described above. If the executive would die before reaching normal retirement age, a death benefit
would be paid to his beneficiary in the amount of $640,000 in the case of Mr. Diehl and $355,000 in
the case of Mr. Wenner. The executives right to the benefits provided under the Agreement is
subject to the following vesting schedules:

In 2009, the bank entered into a supplemental executive retirement plan agreement with Mr. Page to
provide supplemental retirement benefits commencing with retirement after having attained the
normal retirement age of 65 specified in the agreement. The agreements provide for normal
retirement benefits paid monthly over a 15 year period commencing the first day of January
occurring in the calendar year following the executives 65th birthday, at a rate of
$50,000 per year. If the executives employment is terminated before normal retirement age absent
a change in control and other than by the bank for cause, the benefit payable to the executive will
be the amount accrued in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the banks
accounting records on the date of termination of employment. If the executive is employed by the
Bank at the time of a change in control, the executive will automatically become entitled to the
normal retirement benefit described above. If the executive would die before reaching normal
retirement age, a death benefit would be paid to his beneficiary in the amount of any vested,
unpaid benefit. The executives right to the benefits provided under the Agreement is subject to

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS
During 2009, some of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation, members of their
immediate families and some of the companies with which they are associated, had banking
transactions in the ordinary course of business with the bank and may be expected to have similar
transactions in the future. These transactions are made on substantially the same terms including
interest rates, collateral requirements, and repayment terms, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with non affiliated persons and did not involve more than the normal risk
of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
Any business dealing, including extensions of credit, between the Company or the Bank and a
Director of the Company or the Bank, or with any entity controlled by such a Director, other than a
deposit, trust service or other product or service provided by a bank in the ordinary course of
business is required to be reviewed and approved by a majority of the disinterested Directors. In
considering a proposed insider transaction, the disinterested Directors are to reasonably determine
whether the transaction would be in the best interest of the Company or the Bank and on the terms
and conditions, including price, substantially the same as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with non-insiders.
Extensions of credit by the Bank to a Director of the Company or the Bank, or to a related interest
of such a Director, are subject to Federal Reserve Board Regulation O. Although Regulation O
requires the prior approval of such an extension of credit by the Banks disinterested Directors if
the aggregate amount of all extensions of credit to such Director and the related interests of the
Director would exceed $500,000, the Company requires prior approval of all such extensions of
credit.
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee is made up of the following directors: Willard H. Kile, Jr. (Chairman), Robert
M. Brewington, Jr., Edward L. Campbell, Frank D. Gehrig, William F. Gittler, Jr., Mary Ann B.
Naugle and Andrew B. Pruden. The Audit Committee met four times in 2009. The Audit Committee
operates pursuant to a charter. The audit committee charter is available on our website at
www.firstcolumbiabank.com.
Each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence standards contained in Rule 5605(a)(2) of
the listing rules for The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Audit Committee membership currently does not
include an individual who satisfies the literal and exact definition of a financial expert, as
promulgated by the SEC. Our Board considers each member of the Audit Committee to be financially
literate and several members have significant financial qualifications. These qualifications, in
total, however, are not those specifically required by the SEC in
16
order to qualify as a financial
expert. The Board has reviewed the qualifications of the Audit Committee and is satisfied that
the current membership is more than sufficiently qualified to carry out its responsibilities. In
addition, the Audit Committee is independently empowered to engage consultants and experts should
it feel necessary to do so to gain additional expertise on a given matter. The Board is continuing
to review its composition and may look to add to its membership in the future an individual who
satisfies the strict definition of a financial expert.
The Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board, oversees the Corporations financial reporting
process. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed with
management the audited financial statements and the footnotes to these statements in the
Corporations fiscal year 2009 Annual Report to Shareholders and discussed with management the
quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of
significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.
The Corporations external auditors are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of
the Corporations audited financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles. The
Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the external auditors their judgments as to the
quality, not just the acceptability, of the Corporations accounting principles and such other
matters as are required to be discussed by the Audit Committee with the Corporations external
auditors under generally accepted auditing standards. The Corporations external auditors have
expressed the opinion that the Corporations audited financial statements conform to generally
accepted accounting principles.
The Audit Committee discussed with the external auditors their independence from management and the
Corporation, and received the written disclosures concerning the external auditors independence
required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board to be made by the external auditors to
the Corporation.
Over the past year, the Audit Committee discussed with the Corporations external auditors the
overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Audit Committee met with the external and
internal auditors to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the
Corporations internal controls and the overall quality of the Corporations financial reporting.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to
the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

attestation reports required by statute or regulation and consents in respect of Securities and
Exchange Commission filings.
Audit-related fees Audit-related fees for 2009 and 2008 were $8,900 and $6,800 respectively, and

respect to the 401K plan of the bank for 2009 and the trust department of the bank for 2008.
Tax fees Tax fees for 2009 and 2008 were $9,500 and $6,100 respectively, for tax return
compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

independent accounting firm for services other than audit, audit-related and tax services.
The terms and fees for the annual audit service engagement must be pre-approved by the Audit
Committee. Additionally, all fees for audit, audit-related and tax services must be approved by
the Audit Committee and any fees in excess of budgeted fees must also be specifically approved by
the Audit Committee.
