Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 26, 2007, the stockholders of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares,
Inc. (the Company) approved the First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc.
2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan), which had been previously
approved by the Board of Directors on February 28, 2017. The Plan
provides for discretionary awards of stock options, stock awards,
stock units and stock appreciation rights (SARs) to selected
employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company
and its subsidiaries.
The Plan is administered by a committee consisting of the Board of
Directors, or if the Board so delegates, a sub-committee of the
Board which is comprised of directors who satisfy the non-employee
director definition under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and the outside director definition under section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code (the Committee). The Committee has full
authority to select the individuals who will receive awards under
the Plan, determine the form and amount of each of the awards to be
granted, and establish the terms and conditions of awards. The
Committee may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company its authority to grant awards to employees who are not
subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or who
are not covered employees as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code.
The number of shares that may be issued under the Plan is 149,983.
Of these 149,983 shares, (i) the maximum number of shares issuable
as stock options or SARs to any employee in any calendar year is
50,000, (ii) the maximum number of shares that may be issued as
settlement for stock awards or stock unit awards intended to
qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code that may be granted to any participant in
any calendar year is 50,000, and (iii) the maximum number of shares
issuable as incentive stock options is 149,983. Shares that are
forfeited or cancelled are again available for issuance under the
Plan, and shares turned in to pay the option exercise price or tax
withholding are not again available for issuance under the Plan.
Each award under the Plan will be evidenced by a written agreement
specifying the terms and conditions of the award as determined by
the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan or any award agreement, in the event of a
change in control of the Company, the Plan gives the Committee the
discretion to determine how Plan awards are treated, and the
Committee has sole discretion to provide for the purchase of any
outstanding stock option, and the mandatory exercise of any
outstanding SAR, for cash equal to the difference between the
exercise price and the then fair market value of the common stock
subject to the option or SAR, make such adjustment to any award
then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such
change in control, and cause any such award then outstanding to be
assumed by the acquiring or surviving corporation after such change
in control. If any award is so assumed, the vesting provisions will
continue, provided that the Committee may provide for accelerated
vesting upon a termination of employment following the change in
control.
The Plan has a ten year term, and no awards can be granted under
the Plan on or after February 28, 2022.
