Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors has determined that having an independent director serve as Chairman of the Board is in the best interest of shareholders at this time. The structure ensures a greater role for the independent directors in the oversight of the Company and active participation of the independent directors in setting agendas and establishing priorities and procedures for the work of the Board. We believe that this leadership structure is preferred by a significant number of the Company’s shareholders.

The Board is actively involved in oversight of risks that could affect the Company. This oversight is conducted primarily through the Asset/Liability and Risk Committee and the Audit and Compliance/CRA Committee, but the full Board has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The Board satisfies this responsibility through reports by each committee chair regarding the committee’s considerations and actions, as well as through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company.

Change in Control Agreement

Employment Contracts

As an inducement forOn May 13, 2016, ChoiceOne entered into a Change in Control Agreement (the “Change in Control Agreement”) with Mr. Bosserd’s agreement to serve as a director andPotes, the President and Chief Executive Officer of ChoiceOne. Pursuant to the Change in Control Agreement, Mr. Potes will receive severance benefits if, during term of the Change in Control Agreement and either following a Change in Control or during an Active Change in Control Proposal Period (each as defined in the Change in Control Agreement), Mr. Potes is terminated by ChoiceOne without cause or terminates his employment for good reason (as “cause” and “good reason” are defined in the Change in Control Agreement). The Personnel and Benefits Committee believes the “double trigger” of requiring both a change in control and termination of employment provides an appropriate balance of protection for both ChoiceOne and Mr. Potes.

Mr. Potes will receive a lump-sum payment equal to three times his annual base salary and compensation for health benefit continuation and an automobile allowance through the end of the term of the Change in Control Agreement. All unvested equity awards granted to Mr. Potes will automatically vest upon a Change in Control. The Change in Control Agreement includes a Section 280G cap that limits payments under the agreement as necessary to avoid tax penalties under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

Receipt of Mr. Potes’ severance benefits is conditioned on obtaining a release and resignation from all of Mr. Potes’ positions with ChoiceOne and the Bank, ChoiceOne entered intoBank. Additionally, the Change in Control Agreement includes non-competition provisions prohibiting Mr. Potes from soliciting ChoiceOne’s customers and employees for a three-year employment agreement withperiod of eighteen months after termination of Mr. BosserdPotes’ employment.

The foregoing description of the Change in 2007 that extends each yearControl Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Change in Control Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to ChoiceOne’s Form 10-Q for one additional year, unless either ChoiceOne or Mr. Bosserd provides notice of termination. Under this agreement, ChoiceOne agreed to:

401(k) Plan and Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The ChoiceOne Bank 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan isPlanare qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

The purpose of the 401(k) plan is to permit Bank employees, including the named executive officers, to save for retirement on a pre-tax basis. In addition to an employee’s pre-tax contributions, the Bank may contribute discretionary matching and/or employee stock ownership planprofit-sharing payments to the 401(k) plan. If the Bank contributes any matching and/or employee stock ownership plancontributions, those contributions are immediately vested. If the Bank contributes profit-sharing payments to the 401(k) plan, those contributions will become fully vested after six years of a participant’s vesting service. The Bank has generally made a contribution to the 401(k) plan each year; ayear. A discretionary match was made for 2013.

2016.

The employee stock ownership planEmployee Stock Ownership Plan provisions provide that the 401(k) plan, in part, is designed to invest primarily in stock of ChoiceOne.

Termination and Change in Control Provisions

Mr. Bosserd’s employment agreement provides that after a “change in control,” in the event that Mr. Bosserd’s employment is terminated without cause or Mr. Bosserd terminates his employment for “good reason,” then Mr. Bosserd will be entitled to continuation of his salary and benefits through the term of his employment agreement. Good reason is defined in the agreement to include, among other things, a material demotion, assignment of duties inconsistent with Mr. Bosserd’s status as President and Chief Executive Officer, a relocation of Mr. Bosserd, failure of ChoiceOne to elect Mr. Bosserd as Chief Executive Officer of ChoiceOne or the Bank, or a material breach by ChoiceOne of any provision of the agreement. Under Mr. Bosserd’s agreement, a change in control is deemed to have occurred as of the first day that there is a change in the ownership, the effective control, or the ownership of a substantial portion of ChoiceOne’s assets. The Personnel and Benefits Committee believes the “double trigger” of requiring both a change in control and termination of employment provides an appropriate balance of protection for both ChoiceOne and Mr. Bosserd.

ChoiceOne has granted certain stock options pursuant to the Executive Stock Incentive Plan that are subject to accelerated full vesting upon a change in control of ChoiceOne. Because all of the stock options outstanding at the end of 2013 were fully vested, a change in control would have no effect on those options.

In fulfilling its supervisory duties, the Audit Committee has reviewed ChoiceOne’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20132016 included in the 20132016 Annual Report to Shareholders and has discussed those financial statements with ChoiceOne’s management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements.

The Audit Committee has also reviewed with ChoiceOne’s independent auditors – who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles – the judgments of the independent auditors concerning the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles and such other matters that are required under generally accepted auditing standards to be discussed with the independent auditors. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 16. In addition, the Audit Committee has received from the independent auditors the written disclosures required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, has discussed with them their independence from ChoiceOne’s management and ChoiceOne, and has considered the compatibility of nonaudit services with their independence.

After and in reliance on the reviews and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to ChoiceOne’s Board of Directors that the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20132016 be included in ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended to be filed with the SEC.

Section 16 Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires directors and officers of ChoiceOne and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the outstanding shares of its common stock to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of shares of common stock with the SEC. SEC regulations require such persons to furnish ChoiceOne with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for those persons, we believe that all applicable Section 16(a) reporting and filing requirements were satisfied by such persons from January 1, 20132016 through December 31, 2013,2016, except that one report on Form 4 covering one transactionreporting two untimely-reported transactions was filed late for Mr. Cutler,one report on Form 4 covering one transaction was filed late for Mr. Goodfellow, one report on Form 4 covering one transaction was filed late for Mr. Hendon, one report on Form 4 covering one transaction was filed late for Mr. Nyblad, Berris,and one report on Form 4 coveringreporting one untimely-reported transaction was filed late for Ms. Page.each of Mr. Brophy, Mr. Cutler, Mr. Hendon, Mr.Lanning, Mr. Nyblad, and Mr. Potes.

Directors, nominees for director and executive officers of ChoiceOne and members of their immediate families were customers of and had transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business between January 1, 2013,2016 and December 31, 2013.2016. We anticipate that such transactions will take place in the future in the ordinary course of business. All loans and commitments included in such transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibilitycollectability or present other unfavorable features.

None of these loan relationships presently in effect were in default as of the date of this proxy statement.

Frank G. Berris, a director of ChoiceOne and the Bank, owns all of the equity interest of JFB Real Estate, LLC (“JFB”). In 2004, the Bank entered into a lease with JFB for the portion of a building housing the Bank’s Appletree Branch for a period of three years, with options to extend the lease for five additional three-year terms.

Any proposed services exceeding these levels require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
