Martin Heimbigner, President and CEO of City Bank (NASDAQ:CTBK), today announced that Scott Hutchison has stepped down from the Board of Directors. This move was made in response to notification from NASDAQ that, pursuant to its listing rule 5605(b)(1), City Bank had until June 30, 2010, to satisfy its listing requirement that a majority of its board members be independent.

Following the appointment of Mr. Heimbigner as President and CEO effective January 1, 2010, the Board had only three independent directors out of a seven-person board. With Mr. Hutchison’s resignation and the previously announced retirement from the Board by former President and CEO Conrad Hanson at the 2010 Annual Meeting, the Board will reestablish compliance with NASDAQ’s majority independent director rule.
