Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
 
On October 11, 2013, CTBI filed an 8-K to disclose that the Federal Reserve has made requests for information and is currently investigating Community Trust Bank’s (“CTB”) overdraft fee assessment methodology.  On October 7, 2013, representatives of the Federal Reserve informed CTB that Federal Reserve staff is recommending that the Federal Reserve Division of Consumer and Community Affairs cite CTB for a violation based on an unfair and deceptive practice.  CTBI continues to believe that CTB’s practices are neither unfair nor deceptive and are consistent with methodologies prevalent in the banking industry.  If the Federal Reserve takes such action, it would likely result in material adverse consequences to CTBI and its affiliates.  Such adverse consequences may be material to the financial position of CTBI or its results of operations.  CTBI expects to recognize an accrual against earnings with respect to this matter, but cannot reasonably estimate the amount of such accrual until additional information is received from the Federal Reserve.
