Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
     Effective December 18, 2006, the Centrue Financial Corporation (the “Company”) adopted a Non-Employee Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, a director may elect to receive his or her director fees either in cash on a quarterly basis with no deferral of income, or to defer receipt of all or a portion of such compensation until a time following termination of such director’s service on the board or age sixty-five. Amounts deferred are converted into phantom stock units with each such unit representing a share of the Company’s common stock plus any dividends. Distributions of amounts credited under the director’s account may be made in shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the election of the participating director, in cash.
