The proxy statement was prepared at the direction of the Companys Board of Directors to solicit your proxy for use at the Annual Meeting. It will be mailed to shareholders on or about April 7, 2008.
Shareholders owning Company common stock on March 17, 2008 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. Each shareholder has one vote per share on all matters to be voted on. On March 1, 2008 there were 6,419,542 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
You will be asked to elect 3 directors to Class A for three year terms expiring in 2011. The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters to be presented for action at the meeting. If any other matter requiring a vote of the shareholders would be presented at the meeting, the proxies will vote according to the directions of the Board of Directors.
How does the Board of Directors recommend I vote in the election?
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the three nominees as directors to Class A named in this proxy statement.
Sign and date each proxy form you receive and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you sign your proxy form but do not mark your choices, your proxies will vote for the three persons nominated for election as directors to Class A named in this proxy statement.
1
You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised. To do so, you must give written notice of revocation to the Secretary, Orrstown Financial Services, Inc., 77 East King Street, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania 17257, submit another properly signed proxy with a more recent date, or vote in person at the meeting.
A quorum is the presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares. There must be a quorum for the meeting to be held. Abstentions are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but are not considered a vote cast under Pennsylvania law. Brokers holding shares in street name for their customers generally are not entitled to vote on certain matters 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 shareholders at the meeting only if such shares have been voted at the meeting on another matter other than a procedural motion.
What vote is required to elect directors?
The three nominees for election as directors to Class A receiving the highest number of votes will be elected to the Board of Directors.
The Judges of Election appointed by the Board of Directors will count the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.
What is the deadline for shareholder proposals for next years Annual Meeting?
Shareholders may submit proposals on matters appropriate for shareholder action at future annual meetings by following the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Companys By-laws. Proposals intended for inclusion in next years proxy statement and proxy card must be received by the Company not later than December 8, 2008. All proposals should be addressed to the Secretary of the Company.
How are proxies being solicited?
In addition to solicitation by mail, the officers, directors and employees of the Company may, without additional compensation, solicit proxies by telephone or personal interview. Brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of Common Stock held by such persons and will be reimbursed by the Company for their expenses. The cost of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting will be born by the Company.

The Company does not know of any person who beneficially owned more than 5% of the Companys Common Stock on March 1, 2008, except as shown in the following table:

Shares held directly by the Bank, or by way of its nominees, in its trust department as fiduciary for certain trusts, estates and agency accounts that beneficially own the shares. The Bank shares voting power as to 490,675 of these shares but, as a matter of policy, votes such shares solely in accordance with the directions, if any, of the persons with whom it shares voting power. The Bank has sole voting power as to 115,141 of these shares and, subject to the provisions of governing instruments and/or in accordance with applicable provisions of fiduciary law, may vote such shares in what it reasonably believes to be the best interest of the respective trust, estate or agency account for which it holds such shares. As a matter of policy, however, the Bank does not vote shares for which it has sole voting power. The Bank does not have the right to vote the remaining 239,816 shares and disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares. |
The following table shows the number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by each incumbent director, each nominee and each executive officer named in the 2007 Summary Compensation Table appearing on page 19, and by all of the incumbent directors, nominees and executive officers of the Company as a group, as of March 1, 2008, based on information furnished by the persons named and the Companys records. Except as otherwise indicated, sole voting power and sole investment power with respect to the shares shown in the table are held either by the individual alone or by the individual together with his or her spouse.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.
Based on our records, we believe that during 2007 our directors and executive officers complied with all SEC filing requirements applicable to them.
The By-laws of the Company provide that the directors will serve in three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with each class of directors serving a staggered, three year term of office. At each annual meeting of shareholders, a class consisting of approximately one third of all of the Companys directors is elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting held in the third year following the year of their election and until their successors have
4
been elected. At the Annual Meeting the shareholders will be asked to elect three directors to Class A to serve until the annual meeting of shareholders in 2011 or until their successor is elected.
The Board of Directors has nominated the following persons for election as directors to Class A:
Jeffrey W. Coy
John S. Ward
Joel R. Zullinger
All of the nominees are presently serving as directors of the Company and of Orrstown Bank.
Your shares of Company Common Stock represented by your proxy will be voted FOR the election of the three named nominees unless you mark the proxy form to withhold authority to vote for one or more of the nominees. If one or more of the nominees is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, the persons named in the proxy will vote for the election of such substitute nominee, if any, as will be named by the Board of Directors. The Company has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director. Each nominee has expressed a willingness to serve if elected.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of all three nominees as directors to Class A.
The Executive Committee of Orrstown Banks Board of Directors reviews the qualifications of and makes recommendations regarding potential candidates to be nominated by the Board of Directors for election to the Board. Those candidates recommended by the Executive Committee are then submitted to the Board of Directors for approval as nominees. In making its recommendations, the Executive Committee determines the appropriate qualifications, skills and characteristics desirable for the Board of Directors in the context of the strategic direction of the Company and the Bank. Although there are no stated minimum criteria for nominees, the Executive Committee considers a variety of factors including a candidates integrity, independence, qualifications, skills, experience, including experience in finance and banking, compatibility with other members of the Board of Directors, and such other factors as it may deem to be in the best interest of the Company, its bank subsidiaries and its shareholders, which factors may change from time to time. The Executive Committee will consider candidates recommended to it by shareholders, other directors and other sources within the community, and the Banks regional advisory boards.
In addition to recommending potential candidates to the Executive Committee, shareholders may nominate candidates for election to the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with procedures set forth in the Companys By-laws. Shareholder nominations must be submitted not less than 30 days and not more than 50 days before the Annual Meeting of shareholders is scheduled to be held, and include a statement setting forth the background, education and business experiences of the nominee.

The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted the definition of an independent director as set forth in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Stock Market and determined that each Director, other than Messrs. Shoemaker and Zimmerman, is an independent director under such definition. In making this determination, the Board of Directors was aware of and considered the loan and deposit relationships with directors and their related interests which the Company or its subsidiary bank enters into in the ordinary course of business.
Shareholder Communications with the Board of Directors
The Company does not have a formal process by which shareholders may send communications to the Board of Directors. As a matter of practice, shareholder communications received by the Company are included under the topic Correspondence with the Board meeting materials routinely furnished by management to Directors in connection with meetings of the Board of Directors. In addition, shareholder communications determined by the Chief Executive Officer, in his discretion, to require immediate attention, also are promptly furnished by him to the Chairman. When and as appropriate, the Company seeks to provide a timely response to shareholder communications it receives.
Board Committees and Meeting Attendance
During 2007 the Board of Directors of the Company met 14 times, the Board of Directors of Orrstown Bank met 12 times, and the Board of Directors of The First National Bank of Newport met 6 times prior to being merged with and into Orrstown Bank. Messrs. Shoemaker
7
and Zimmerman served on The First National Bank of Newport Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of the Company has an Executive Committee that did not hold any meetings in 2007, and an Audit Committee. The Board of Directors of Orrstown Bank has an Executive Committee. During 2007 all of the Directors of the Company attended at least 75% of all meetings of the respective Boards and Committees on which they served. In addition, although the Company does not have a formal policy regarding the attendance by Directors at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, it is generally expected that each Director will attend. All of the Companys Directors attended the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2007.
Executive Committee. The Executive Committee of the Orrstown Bank Board of Directors acts on matters between regular meetings of the Banks Board of Directors. The Orrstown Bank Executive Committee also makes recommendations regarding compensation to the Banks Board of Directors for officers holding the title of Vice President and above and, as described above under the heading Nomination of Directors, reviews the qualifications of and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors of the Bank regarding potential candidates to be nominated for election to the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee met 12 times during 2007. The members of the Executive Committee are Jeffrey W. Coy, Chairman, Kenneth R. Shoemaker, Denver L. Tuckey and Joel R. Zullinger. The same individuals also constitute the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. Although they hold offices of the Company and Orrstown Bank, the Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Coy, Tuckey and Zullinger are independent as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Stock Market because they hold such offices in their capacities as Directors and because they do not, except as Directors, perform a policy making function, and are not otherwise in charge of a principal business unit, division or function of the Company or its bank subsidiary. As President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Orrstown Bank, Mr. Shoemaker is not independent.
Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for providing independent oversight and review of the Companys accounting functions and financial reporting and internal control systems. The Audit Committee monitors the preparation of quarterly and annual financial reports by Company management, including reviewing with management and the Companys independent auditors the scope and results of the annual audit and recommendations made by the independent auditors and related management responses, and reviews prior to filing all annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Audit Committee also is responsible for matters concerning the relationship between the Company and its independent auditors including their appointment, compensation and retention; approval of their audit and permissible non-audit services prior to engagement; and determining whether the independent auditors are independent. In addition, the Audit Committee oversees managements implementation and reviews the effectiveness of the Companys internal control systems including reviewing policies relating to legal and regulatory compliance, ethics and conflicts of interest; and reviewing the activities and recommendations of the Companys internal auditing program.
The members of the Audit Committee are Andrea Pugh, Chair, Anthony F. Ceddia, Denver L. Tuckey and John S. Ward, each of whom the Board of Directors has determined to be independent as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Stock Market. In making this determination the Board of Directors considered the fact that Orrstown Bank paid to Mr. Ceddia $12,000 for consulting services in 2007.
8
The Audit Committee Charter provides that each member is to be independent as defined by applicable law and regulation, and also is to be free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, could interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment. The Audit Committee Charter was revised in 2006 in order to permit directors of wholly-owned subsidiary banks of the Company who are not also Directors of the Company to serve on the Companys Audit Committee. The Board of Directors made this revision in connection with the Companys acquisition in 2006 of The First National Bank of Newport as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company believing that it would be appropriate to include a director of First National Bank as a member of the Audit Committee because, on a consolidated basis, an audit of the Company necessarily would include an audit of First National Bank. In connection with this revision, the Audit Committee Charter was further revised to provide that the Audit Committee must be composed of no less than three Directors of the Company, that a majority of the members of the Audit Committee must be Directors of the Company and that the actions of the Audit Committee must receive the affirmative vote of both a majority of the members of the Audit Committee and a majority of the members who are Directors of the Company in order to assure that the actions of the Audit Committee are controlled by members who are Directors of the Company. All of the members of the Audit Committee are Directors of the Company.
The Audit Committee Charter provides that at least one member of the Audit Committee must have accounting or related financial management expertise as the Board of Directors interprets such qualifications in its business judgment. Although the Board of Directors believes that it is appropriate for the Audit Committee to have at least one member with accounting or related financial management expertise, it also believes that there are a number of other important factors, discussed above with respect to the factors considered by the Executive Committee in connection with candidates for nomination for election to the Board of Directors, that affect Board composition. In accommodating each of these factors and composing a Board of Directors that is, as a whole, strong in its collective knowledge of and diversity of skills and experience with respect to the business of banking and the communities and markets in which the Bank competes, together with demonstrated qualities exhibiting leadership, vision and business judgment, it is possible that, from time to time, no member of the Board of Directors will fully satisfy all conditions of the definition of audit committee financial expert in SEC Regulation S-K.
The Board of Directors believes that John S. Ward has the requisite financial management expertise required by the Audit Committee Charter as a result of his experience as Chief Clerk of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, from which he is retired, and as President of Modern Transit Partnership. In each of these positions Mr. Ward has had ultimate responsibility for overseeing and assessing the performance of the County and the Partnership in the preparation of their respective financial statements, providing him with an understanding of and familiarity with generally accepted accounting principles and internal controls over financial reporting. The Board of Directors, however, has determined that Mr. Ward is not an audit committee financial expert as defined in SEC Regulation S-K principally because his experience in these positions has not presented to him the breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues raised by the Companys financial statements.
9
The Audit Committee Charter provides that the Audit Committee is to meet at least 4 times each year. The Audit Committee met 4 times during 2007.
The current version of the Audit Committee Charter was included as an Appendix to the Companys Proxy Statement in connection with the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held in 2007.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Companys audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Audit Committee also has discussed with Smith Elliott Kearns & Company, LLC, the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard AU Section 380, Communication with Audit Committees, and Rule 2-07 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission; received from Smith Elliott Kearns & Company, LLC, the written disclosures and letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees); and, has discussed with Smith Elliott Kearns & Company, LLC, that firms independence. In that regard, the Audit Committee has considered whether the provision by Smith Elliott Kearns & Company, LLC, of certain limited permissible non-audit services in addition to its audit services is compatible with maintaining that firms independence and has determined that it is. Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The Company does not have a compensation committee and no compensation was paid to executive officers of the Company by the Company in 2007. All compensation was paid by Orrstown Bank or, in the case of Mr. Zimmerman, by The First National Bank of Newport until it was merged with and into Orrstown Bank.
The Executive Committee of Orrstown Banks Board of Directors functions as its compensation committee. The Executive Committee does not have a charter.
In 2007 the Executive Committee was composed of three non-employee Directors of the Bank, Jeffrey W. Coy, Chair; Denver L. Tuckey; Joel R. Zullinger; and Kenneth R. Shoemaker,
10
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Orrstown Bank. With respect to other executive officers, the Executive Committee considers the recommendations of Mr. Shoemaker before making final recommendations to the Banks Board of Directors. Mr. Shoemaker does not participate in the Executive Committees evaluation of his performance for purposes of his compensation. Mr. Shoemakers compensation for 2007 was established based upon the same factors and policies used to establish compensation for executive officers generally.
There are no interlocking relationships, as defined by SEC regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, involving members of the Executive Committee.
During 2007 some of the directors and executive officers of the Company and the Banks, 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 Banks and may be expected to have similar transactions in the future. These transactions were 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 collectability or present other unfavorable features.
Any business dealing, including extensions of credit, between the Company or one of its subsidiary banks and a Director of the Company or of a subsidiary 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 subsidiary banks 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 one of the Companys subsidiary banks to a Director of the Company or of a subsidiary 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.

Directors Fees. During 2007, each director of the Company was paid an annual retainer fee of $6,500 and each non-employee director of the Company received $600.00 for each meeting of the Company Board of Directors attended and $300.00 for each committee meeting attended, except that committee chairs received a fee of $400.00 for each committee meeting attended. Each director of Orrstown Bank was paid an annual retainer fee of $6,500.00 and each non-employee director of Orrstown Bank was paid a fee of $600.00 for each meeting attended. Non-employee directors of Orrstown Bank also received $300.00 for each committee meeting attended, except that committee chairs received a fee of $400 for each committee meeting
12
attended. In addition, in 2007 the Chairman of the Board of Orrstown Bank received an annual fee of $13,000, the Vice Chairman received an annual fee of $11,000 and the Secretary received an annual fee of $10,000.
Deferred Compensation Plan. In 1995, the Company and Orrstown Bank established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for directors. Participation in the plan is voluntary. Kenneth R. Shoemaker, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, and Stephen C. Oldt, who retired December 31, 2007 from his position as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Bank, also participate in the Plan. Each participant may elect each year to defer all or a portion of his or her directors fees or, in the case of Messrs. Shoemaker and Oldt, base salary. Those deferring compensation must begin withdrawals from the plan by age 75. The amounts deferred are invested in a rabbi trust with the trust department of Orrstown Bank as trustee. The participants direct the investment of their own accounts among various publicly available mutual funds designated by Orrstown Banks Trust Investment Committee. Growth of each participants account is a result of investment performance and the public markets and is not a result of an interest factor or interest formula established by the participant or by the Company or its subsidiary bank. In 2007, Ms. Pugh deferred $33,500; Mr. Snoke deferred $14,000 and Mr. Zullinger deferred $27,800. Neither Mr. Shoemaker nor Mr. Oldt made any deferrals in 2007.
In addition, Mr. Zullinger and six of Orrstown Banks former Directors participate in so-called brick plans that provide the director or his or her beneficiaries with a monthly cash benefit beginning at age 65. The change in the net present value of Mr. Zullingers accrued benefit under his brick plan from 2006 is reported in the 2007 Directors Compensation Table above. Under the brick plan, Mr. Zullingers annual benefit at age 65 would be $21,804. Mr. Zullingers total accrued benefit at December 31, 2007 was $83,189 and the vested amount of his annual benefit is $7,563.
Directors Retirement Plan. In 1998 Orrstown Bank established a directors retirement plan which provides participating directors a $12,000 per year benefit (indexed for inflation by 4.00% per year until payments commence) for the lesser of ten years or the number of years served. This program encourages current directors to continue to serve as directors and enables the Bank to reward its long-serving directors for their valuable service.
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan of 2000. On January 27, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan of 2000. The Directors Option Plan is a formula plan under which options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock are granted each year to directors in office on April 1. The number of options granted each year is based on the Companys return on average tangible equity for the most recent fiscal year. All options have a term of 10 years from the regular grant date, are fully exercisable from the regular grant date and have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Company Common Stock as of the date of the grant of the option. As long as shares of Company Common Stock are traded over-the-counter and quotations for the shares appear on the NASDs OTC Bulletin Board service, fair market value will mean the average of the average of the daily high bid and low offer quotations for shares of Company Common Stock reported through the OTC Bulletin Board service for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of the grant of the option. If no bid or no offer quotations
13
are available during the 10 day pricing period, then fair market value will mean the price of the last trade reported for the shares through the OTC Bulletin Board service. If a director retires, the options previously granted to the director will expire at their scheduled expiration date. If a directors service as a director terminates for any other reason, the options previously granted to the director will expire six months after the date of termination of service unless scheduled to expire sooner. In April 2007, each director, except for Messrs. Shoemaker and Zimmerman, was granted an option covering 441 shares of Company Common Stock at an exercise price of $35.68 per share.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
In this section we provide an overview and analysis of our executive compensation programs and policies, the material decisions we have made under those programs and policies and the material factors that we considered in making those decisions.
Executive Compensation Objectives and Philosophy. The Companys compensation and benefits programs and policies are intended to provide fair, reasonable and competitive levels of
14
compensation and benefits in order to recruit, motivate, reward and retain qualified executive officers and generate long term value for the Companys shareholders. A significant amount of compensation is dependent upon Company performance and individual contribution to Company success. Our goal is for our executive officers to prosper when the Company prospers, but for them to realize less personal income if the Company is less successful.
Compensation Structure. We compensate our executive officers through a combination of base salary, annual cash incentives, stock options and other benefits. Base salaries are set at levels competitive within the industry and the local market area in order to attract and retain executive officers who possess the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to successfully execute their duties and responsibilities. A portion of annual cash bonuses are linked to annual Company performance in order to incent and reward such performance and a portion of annual cash bonuses are paid to incent and reward annual individual contributions to Company performance. Stock options are awarded annually to further link annual compensation to annual Company performance, but also to link the compensatory interests of executive officers to the interests of shareholders in the long term success and growth of the Company. Health and welfare benefit programs are provided to executive officers on the same terms and conditions as all other employees and are intended to be competitive within the industry and the local market area. We also provide our executive officers with certain supplemental retirement programs on a basis competitive within the industry.
Orrstown Bank has not entered into any formal employment or severance agreement with any of the executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table below. It has, however, entered into certain salary continuation and officer group term replacement plan agreements with the named executive officers and a change in control agreement with Mr. Shoemaker, all described in greater detail below.
Determination of Compensation. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Orrstown Bank conducts a full review in the fall of each year of the Banks executive compensation programs and is responsible for making recommendations to the Banks Board of Directors. The Banks Board of Directors considers and acts on upon such recommendations at its December meeting.
Base Salary. The Executive Committee determines base salaries for executive officers based upon competitive pay practices of other banks of similar size on a regional basis for similar positions and responsibilities. The Executive Committee obtains comparisons of base salaries paid by other banks from various sources, including L. R. Webber Associates, a Holidaysburg, Pennsylvania consulting firm, Clark Consulting, a benefits consulting firm that operates on a national level with headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and SNL Financial, an information and research firm serving the financial services industry with an emphasis on publicly traded banking companies from its headquarters in Charlottesville, Virginia. Using the median as a starting point, the Executive Committee recommends annual changes in base salaries of executive officers based on its evaluation of past performance, job duties, scope and responsibilities and expected future contributions. In determining the level of base salary, an individuals personal performance in achieving previously established goals is the most important factor. Consistently with this practice and policy, the Executive Committee recommended and Banks Board of Directors approved at its December meeting increasing base salaries in 2008 to $270,000 for Mr. Shoemaker; $146,000 for Mr. Everly; $165,000 for Mr. Fague; and, $165,000 for Mr. Embly.
15
Cash Bonuses. As noted above, a portion of annual cash bonuses are linked to annual Company performance and a portion are related to annual individual contributions to Company performance. As a guide for determining the amount of cash bonus to be awarded to an executive officer, the Executive Committee refers to Orrstown Banks Executive Incentive Plan, established in 1998. The purpose of the Plan is to support and promote the pursuit of the Banks organizational objectives and financial goals through the payment of annual cash bonuses to executive officers and other key employees based upon the percentage increase in earnings for the year, which is given a 75% weighting, and the percentage increase in funds (deposits and short-term purchased funds) for the year, which is given a 25% weighting. The resulting percentage factors are then added together, resulting in a bonus percentage factor to be applied to an executives salary to determine the amount of his or her bonus. For example, a 10% increase in earnings and a 20% increase in funds would result in a 12.5% bonus percentage factor (10% x .75 = 7.5%, 20% x .25 = 5%; 7.5% + 5% = 12.5%). Assuming a base salary of $100,000, the amount of the bonus would be $12,500. Under the Plan, the Bank will pay out 50% of the bonus amount in the year to which the bonus relates, 25% in the next year and 25% in the second year. Thus, the amounts reported below in the Summary Compensation Table as paid in 2007 pursuant to the Executive Incentive Plan include 50% of the bonus amount earned in 2007, 25% of the bonus amount earned in 2006 and 25% of the bonus amount earned in 2005. The bonus amounts as to which payment is deferred to subsequent years are not vested and may be forfeited by an employee whose employment with the Bank is terminated prior to payment of the deferred amounts. In addition, in 2005, 2006 and 2007, the Board of Directors determined, within its discretion under the Plan, to actually fund bonuses under the Plan at the rate of 50% of the bonus amount calculated pursuant to the principles described above. The Executive Committee and the Board of Directors have complete discretion as to whom bonuses will be awarded under the Plan. In addition, the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors have further discretion to award cash bonuses in addition to amounts calculated pursuant to the Plan where individual contributions to Company performance merit further reward. Thus, the amounts reported as bonus in the Summary Compensation Table reflect amounts that the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors believe appropriately reward individual contributions to total Company performance.
Stock Options. On January 27, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously approved and adopted the Employee Stock Option Plan of 2000. The Stock Option Plan was ratified by the shareholders at the 2000 Annual Meeting. The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to promote the long term success of the Company and the creation of shareholder value by providing additional incentives to those officers and key employees who are in a position to contribute to the long term growth and profitability of the Company; assist the Company to attract, retain and motivate key personnel with experience and ability; and link employees receiving stock options directly to shareholder interests through increased stock ownership.
The Executive Committee, on behalf of the Board of Directors, administers the Stock Option Plan, and determines the number of shares to be covered by each option, the term of the option, the period of time for options to vest after grant, if any, and other terms and limitations
16
applicable to the exercise of the option. All options awarded under the Stock Option Plan are exercisable at an option price equal to the fair market value of the Companys common stock at the date of grant of the option. As long as shares of Company common stock are traded over the counter and quotations for the shares appear on the NASDs OTC Bulletin Board service, fair market value shall mean the average of the daily high bid and low offer quotations for shares of Company common stock reported through the OTC Bulletin Board service for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the relevant date. If no bid or no offer quotations are available during the 10 day pricing period, then fair market value will mean the price of the last trade reported for the shares through the OTC Bulletin Board service. Grants to officers of the Company and other key employees are based on criteria established by the Executive Committee including, past performance, job duties, scope and responsibilities and contributions to overall Company performance.
The Executive Committee has total discretion over the number of shares covered by option grants. Option awards covered a larger number of shares in years prior to 2006, principally because changes in generally accepted accounting principles, that became effective in 2006 now require the Company to expense option awards when granted.
401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan. Orrstown Bank maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of eligible employees. The Bank makes annual matching contributions of up to 50 percent of employee contributions under the plan up to 3 percent of an employees annual compensation. In addition, the Bank maintains a profit sharing plan covering all employees who have attained age 21, completed one year of service and have worked for 1,000 hours or more during the plan year. Upon becoming eligible to participate in the plan, an employee is fully vested. Contributions to the plan are based on the Banks performance and are at the discretion of the Banks Board of Directors. Substantially all of the Banks employees are covered by the plan. The Banks contribution to the plan on behalf of all participants may not be in excess of the maximum amount deductible for tax purposes under Section 404(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In general, this amount cannot be more than 15 percent of compensation otherwise paid during the taxable year to all employees under the profit sharing plan.
Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Benefit Programs. Orrstown Bank has established salary continuation plans and group term replacement plans for certain of its executive officers. The purposes of these programs are to provide to those executive officers an economic incentive for long term service to the Company and the Bank. The Executive Committee believes that these programs are competitive with those offered by other banks of similar size on a regional basis.
Orrstown Bank has established salary continuation plans for certain of its executive officers including, without limitation, the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table below, in order to provide them with supplemental retirement income. The purpose of the plans is to provide an incentive to such persons to continue in the employ of the Bank.
17
Orrstown Bank also has established an officer group term replacement plan for the benefit of Messrs. Shoemaker, Everly, Oldt and Fague. This plan provides participating officers with a life insurance benefit equal to two times current salary with no cap. Under the plan the officer receives the same coverage as he currently receives under the Banks group term plan but at less cost to the Bank while the officer is employed. The officer receives continued coverage after retirement for a small annual charge. The post-retirement coverage will approximate two times annual salary (not to exceed the net coverage purchased).
As noted above in connection with Director Compensation, Messrs. Shoemaker and Oldt also participate in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan for directors, but neither of them made any deferrals in 2007.
We, the members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Orrstown Bank, have reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth above with the management of the Company and, based on such review and discussion, have recommended to the Board of Directors of the Company inclusion of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in this Proxy Statement and, through incorporation by reference from this Proxy Statement, in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

(1) | Option awards are valued based on the Black-Scholes model, used by the Company for financial reporting purposes pursuant to FAS 123R. There is no assurance the value realized by an executive officer will be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes model. The actual value, if any, an executive officer may realize will depend upon the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. The assumptions used in determining the Black-Scholes value are set forth in the 2007 Grant of Plan Based Annuals Table below. |
(2) | Based on an October 1 to September 30 plan year under executive officer Salary Continuation Agreements and, for Mr. Shoemaker only, also includes the annual change in the net present value of his accrued benefit under his Directors Retirement Plan (described below in the Compensation of Directors section) for corresponding plan years. |
(3) | Mr. Oldt retired December 31, 2007. |
As indicated in the 2007 Summary Compensation Table, salary is the single most significant component of executive compensation, comprising approximately one-half or more of total compensation paid to an executive officer.

Except as to Mr. Shoemaker in 2007 and 2006, and Mr. Oldt in 2007, the total value of perquisites and personal benefits for a named executive officer is less than $10,000. In 2007 and 2006 perquisites and personal benefits for Mr. Shoemaker consisted of country club dues and automobile allowance. In 2007, perquisites and personal benefits for Mr. Oldt consisted of compensation for paid time off accrued through December 31, 2007 that was paid in connection with his retirement effective December 31, 2007.
Directors fees paid to Mr. Shoemaker are described above in connection with Directors Compensation generally. In 2006, the Company and Orrstown Bank discontinued their prior practices of paying meeting fees to employee directors, but continued to pay annual retainer fees to such directors.
The reported insurance premiums are the premiums paid by the Bank in connection with the officer group term replacement plans for the named executive officers described above in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
The Company fully funded its contribution to the profit sharing plan in each of the years indicated at 15 percent of compensation otherwise paid to all employees under the plan.

(1) | The awarded stock options were fully vested and immediately exercisable on the grant date. The options have a term of 10 years and will expire July 9, 2017, if not sooner exercised. The options may be exercised upon full payment of the exercise price in cash, by the surrender of certificates representing shares which already have been owned by the executive officer for more than 6 months and valued at their fair market value as defined by the Plan, or in a combination of stock and cash. Options may not be exercised for less than 100 shares unless the total number of shares then available for exercise under the award is less than 100. |
(2) | The exercise price is equal to the fair market value of Company common stock as of the grant date, defined by the Companys Employee Stock Option Plan of 2000 as the average of the daily high bid and low offer quotations for shares of the Companys common stock reported through the NASDs OTC Bulletin Board service for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the grant date. |
(3) | Option awards are valued based on the Black-Scholes model, used by the Company for financial reporting purposes pursuant to FAS 123R. There is no assurance the value realized by an executive officer will be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes model. The actual value, if any, an executive officer will realize will depend upon the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. In determining the Black-Scholes value, the following assumptions were used for the options awarded in 2007: (i) stock price volatility represents the standard deviation in stock prices for Company common stock during the 12 month period prior to grant of the option (11.19%); (ii) dividend yield represents the cumulative dividends per share for the 12 month period prior to grant of the option, divided by the average monthly price of Company common stock over the same period (2.50%); (iii) the risk- free rate of return represents the average monthly yield on US Treasury Notes maturing within 9 to 10 years after the date of grant (5.10%); and (iv) an expected time of exercise of five years. |

A description of the Salary Continuation Agreement appears below under Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Salary Continuation Agreements. Orrstown Bank has entered into Salary Continuation Agreements with certain of its executive officers including, without limitation, the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. The Agreements provide each executive officer with certain specified benefits upon a separation from service as a result of normal retirement, early termination, disability, death or a change in control.
Benefits are payable in monthly installments over a 15 year period beginning within 60 days following the executive officers separation from service upon or after the executive reaching normal retirement age, within 60 days following the executive officer reaching normal retirement age in the cases of early termination and change in control, or within 60 days after separation from service in the case of disability.
Under the Agreements the amount of the normal retirement benefit when combined with Social Security and amounts available under the Banks 401(k) and profit sharing plans is intended to provide the executive officer with retirement income equal in amount to 70 percent of final annual salary.
23
In 2006, the Bank determined that due to changes over the years in the levels of annual salaries and changes in anticipated retirement ages for certain executive officers, the amounts of the benefits that would be payable under the Salary Continuation Agreements, when combined with Social Security and amounts available under the Banks 401(k) and profit sharing plans, would not be sufficient to provide such executive officers with retirement income equal to 70 percent of their anticipated final annual salaries. Accordingly, the Bank re-projected annual final salaries for Messrs. Shoemaker, Everly and Fague from their annual salaries at October 1, 2005 at an annual rate of increase of 4 percent based upon normal retirement ages of 62 for Messrs. Shoemaker and Everly and 65 for Mr. Fague. In addition, the discount rate was changed from 7.5 percent to 6.0 percent. The result of these changes was to significantly increase the amount of the net present value of the accrued benefit for Messrs. Shoemaker and Everly for the 2006 plan year in relation to prior years as reflected in the 2006 Summary Compensation Table, and to increase the amounts of the annual normal retirement benefits payable to Mr. Shoemaker from $80,000 at age 62 to $100,000 at age 62; to Mr. Everly from $56,000 at age 65 to $62,000 at age 62; and to Mr. Fague from $25,000 at age 62 to $73,000 at age 65. The Bank entered into a Salary Continuation Agreement with Mr. Embly in 2006, providing for an annual normal retirement benefit of $90,000 at age 65, projecting a final annual salary from his annual salary at October 1, 2005 at an annual rate of increase of 4 percent and a discount rate of 6.0 percent. Because Mr. Oldt was to reach his normal retirement age of 65 in 2007, no changes were made to his Salary Continuation Agreement.
In the event of an early termination separation from service or a separation from service due to disability prior to normal retirement age, the amount of the benefit under the plan will be actuarily reduced from the normal retirement benefit. In the event of a change in control, the amount of the benefit will be the amount of the normal retirement benefit.
In the event an executive officer dies while in active service, the officers beneficiary will be entitled to receive the normal retirement benefit payable in monthly installments over a 15 year period commencing within 60 days after receipt by the Bank of the officers death certificate. In the event an executive officer dies after benefit distributions have commenced, the Bank will continue to distribute the remaining benefits to the officers beneficiary at the same time and in the same amounts as would have been distributed to the executive officer had he survived.
Benefits under the Agreements will be forfeited by an executive officer who is terminated for cause, or if the executive officer commits suicide within 2 years after the effective date of the Agreement, or if an insurance company which issued a life insurance policy covering the executive officer and owned by the Bank denies coverage because of misstatements of fact made by the executive officer on an application for life insurance, or if the executive officer is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by a federal banking agency pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, or the executive officer becomes interested as a sole proprietor, partner, substantial shareholder, officer, director, or employee in a competitor of the Bank within a 50 mile radius of the Banks headquarters in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.
24
Change in Control Agreement. The Company and the Bank have entered into a change in control agreement with Mr. Shoemaker. The agreement generally provides that in the event of termination of Mr. Shoemakers employment (other than for cause) with the Company or the Bank under certain circumstances following a change in control of the Company or the Bank, Mr. Shoemaker will be entitled to receive continued payment of his annual cash compensation for three years. If Mr. Shoemaker would obtain other employment at any time during the three year period, his compensation from his new employer would be offset against the amounts to be paid to him under the agreement. The agreement also provides that the Company will continue to provide Mr. Shoemaker with available insurance coverages in effect at the time of his termination pursuant to a change in control for a period of three years, offset by coverage for any subsequent employment, or until he reaches age 65. For purposes of the agreement a change in control is defined to include an acquisition of 20% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company; a merger or consolidation of the Company or the Bank if, as a result of the transaction, less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving corporation are owned by the former shareholders of the Company; a sale of substantially all the assets of the Company; or the occurrence of any other event designated by a majority of the non-employee directors to constitute a change in control for purposes of the Agreement.
