Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
The Board of Directors of Horizon Bancorp (“Horizon”) has approved amendments to Horizon’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and to Horizon’s 2005 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“2005 SERP”) to clarify that the trust assets may be invested in Horizon common stock. The 2005 SERP also was amended to provide that matching contributions for those participants subject to compensation restrictions resulting from Horizon’s participation in the United States Treasury Department’s TARP Capital Purchase Program may be paid in restricted stock granted pursuant to Horizon’s 2003 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and that such participants may not receive supplemental contributions during the period such contributions are prohibited under the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The amendments were approved on December 15, 2009, and became effective January 1, 2010.
