Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On May 22, 2025, the shareholders of LINKBANCORP, Inc. (the "Company") approved the LINKBANCORP, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The following summarizes certain key features of the Plan, and a more comprehensive description of the material terms of the Plan is contained in the Company's definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2025.

The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, including incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, any of which may vest based either on the passage of time or achievement of performance, or a combination of each, to officers, employees, directors and service providers of the Company and its subsidiaries. The sum of the grant date fair value of equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, granted to an individual non-employee director may not exceed $50,000 for any calendar year, and an employee may not: (i) receive a grant of more than 30,000 stock options during any calendar year, and (ii) the sum of the grant date fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units may not exceed $500,000 for any calendar year.

The foregoing description of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Plan that is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
