Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously announced by First Mid Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), effective as of the commencement of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) on April 29, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) accepted Gary W. Melvin’s retirement from the Board, and the committees on which Mr. Melvin served, namely the audit committee and the compensation committee, and Mr. Melvin did not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting because he reached the mandatory retirement age of 70 during his term expiring at the Annual Meeting.
