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

On April 19, 2016, the Board of Directors of First Community Corporation (the “Company”), the holding company for First Community Bank, approved an amendment to the First Community Corporation 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to permit restricted stock units to be granted under the Plan. Restricted stock units may be denominated in shares of common stock and are similar to restricted stock awards except that no shares of common stock are actually issued to the award recipient at the time of grant of a restricted stock unit. Restricted stock units granted under the Plan may be settled in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof, and are subject to vesting conditions and other restrictions set forth in the Plan or the individual award agreement. In the event that the Human Resources/Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) conditions the grant or vesting of restricted stock units upon the attainment of performance goals or the attainment of performance goals and the continued service of the applicable participant, the Committee may, prior to or at the time of grant, designate the restricted stock units as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. No other material changes were made to the Plan. Copies of the full text of the amendment to the Plan and the form of restricted stock unit award agreement are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this report and are incorporated herein by reference. Information regarding the Plan has been previously reported in the Company’s proxy statement filed on April 7, 2011, and such information is incorporated herein by reference.
