Effective November 19, 2020, the Board of Directors of Macatawa Bank Corporation (the "Corporation") appointed Nicole Dandridge to the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Ms. Dandridge will serve for a term expiring at the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders. Ms. Dandridge will serve as a member of the Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.

Ms. Dandridge was appointed to the Board of Directors as the representative of White Bay Capital LLC, a Michigan limited liability Corporation (“White Bay”) pursuant to a Board Representation Agreement dated November 5, 2008 between White Bay and the Corporation (the “Board Representation Agreement”).

The Board Representation Agreement requires the Corporation to use its best efforts to cause a representative of White Bay to be elected to the Corporation’s Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of Macatawa Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the "Bank"). Accordingly, Ms. Dandridge was also appointed as a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank.

Ms. Dandridge replaces the prior representative of White Bay, Mark J. Bugge, who resigned in March 2019. The Corporation’s obligation to appoint a White Bay representative will continue so long as White Bay beneficially owns at least 3% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation’s common stock.

The above description of the Board Representation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to its full text, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Ms. Dandridge will have the same rights and duties and the same compensation, indemnification and insurance as other non-employee directors of the Corporation.
