DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We provide the following elements of compensation for our non-employee directors, each of whom is also a director of the Bank:

 

   

A retainer of $750 per quarter to each non-employee director for serving on the Board.

 

   

A retainer of $750 per month to each non-employee director for serving on the Bank’s board of directors.

 

   

A fee of $750 per meeting to each member of the Audit Committee.

 

   

A retainer of $3,750 per quarter to the chairman of the Audit Committee.

 

   

A fee of $750 per meeting to each member of the Compensation Committee.

 

   

A grant of 10,000 options to each non-employee director at the time of his initial appointment or election to the Board.

We pay employee directors of the Company each a retainer of $500 per quarter for their services as directors.

The option grants are provided under the BancFirst Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Stock Plan”) and are exercisable at the rate of 25% per year beginning one year from the date of grant. If a director is terminated for cause, all options will be forfeited immediately. If a director ceases to be member of the Board for any other reason, unvested options will terminate and only previously vested options may be exercised for a period of 30 days following termination (or 12 months in the case of termination on account of death).

Non-employee directors can elect to defer all or any portion of their cash compensation through the BancFirst Corporation Directors’ Deferred Stock Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Stock Compensation Plan”). Under the plan, directors of the Company and members of the community advisory boards of the Bank may defer up to 100% of their Board fees. They are credited for each deferral with a number of stock units based on the current market price of the Company’s stock, which accumulate in an account until such time as the director or community board member terminates service as a Board member. Shares of our common stock are then distributed to the terminating director or community board member based upon the number of stock units accumulated in his or her account. Because stock units are not actual shares of our common stock, they do not have any voting rights.

Additionally, non-employee directors are reimbursed for their expenses in connection with attending Board meetings.
