Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 13, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Craig Lawhead, age 53, to the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. This appointment is set to go into effect on March 21, 2011, which date coincides with the retirement of the Company’s current President and Chief Executive Officer, Luther E. Proper. For the past 5 years, Mr. Lawhead has served as the Senior Lending Officer for the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The Killbuck Savings Bank Co., and has also held the title of Executive Vice President of The Killbuck Savings Bank Co. and Vice President and Treasurer of the Company.

The Company has not entered into any written employment arrangement with Mr. Lawhead regarding this appointment. However, Mr. Lawhead will receive a base salary of $144,375.00 per year and will participate in the Company’s cash bonus plan, integrated profit sharing pension plan and a 401(k) plan, and all group plans applicable to employees in general, including healthcare, life and disability insurance plans.

Mr. Lawhead has no family relationship with any director or executive officer of the Company or any of its affiliated subsidiaries. Since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, neither Mr. Lawhead nor any member of his immediate family have been customers of, or have had transactions with, the Company or any of its affiliated subsidiaries which would be reportable under Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K.

On December 13, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors also adopted resolutions increasing the number of total members of the Board from nine to ten, which increase went into effect as of that date. The Board also appointed Craig Lawhead to fill the newly-created vacancy in the Board of Directors. Mr. Lawhead has been appointed to class B of the Company’s Board, and his initial term will expire at the Company’s Annual Meeting of the Shareholders to be held in 2012. At this time, it is expected that Mr. Lawhead will serve on no committee other than the loan committee of The Killbuck Savings Bank Co.
