Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes
On April 19, 2016, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the First Community Corporation 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. The material changes include:
- Authorization to grant Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) under the Plan.
- RSUs are denominated in shares of common stock but do not involve the issuance of actual shares at the time of grant.
- RSUs may be settled in cash, common stock, or a combination thereof.
- RSUs are subject to vesting conditions and restrictions.
- The Human Resources/Compensation Committee may designate RSUs as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code if tied to performance goals.
No other material changes were made to the Plan.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no management commentary regarding future financial guidance, outlook, or specific risks. The primary contingency noted is the potential for RSUs to be classified as performance-based compensation, which depends on the Committee's designation at the time of grant.
