# Rhinebeck Bank notifies CFO Kevin Nihill, other employees of change-in-control contract non-renewal

## Summary
- 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.
