Rhinebeck Bank notifies CFO Kevin Nihill, other employees of change-in-control contract non-renewal
Rhinebeck Bancorp, Inc.
- On October 1, 2026 the Rhinebeck Bank board gave notice of non-renewal to every employee holding a change-in-control agreement, including CFO Kevin Nihill.
- The agreements' terms run through December 31, 2027; the company says the move is not tied to performance evaluations or anticipated management changes.
- Rhinebeck says the non-renewals are part of a broader change in corporate philosophy on change-in-control contracts and it intends to develop a new benefit arrangement to replace them.
- No replacement CFO or new change-in-control terms were named in the filing, signed October 6, 2026 by President and CEO Matthew J. Smith.
