GENERAL
Information Concerning the Solicitation

purposes stated in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. On or about March 12, 2010, CNB

Please read this proxy statement carefully. You will find more information about CNB in our

the Securities and Exchange Commission.
CNB will pay for the cost of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing of the proxy

telegraph and telecopier. We will arrange with custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward
proxy material to the beneficial owners of stock and upon request, CNB will reimburse them for

postponement of the meeting.
|
If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting, the
persons named as proxies and acting thereunder will have discretion to vote on those matters
according to their best judgment to the same extent as the person delivering the proxy would be
entitled to vote. At this time, CNB is not aware of any other matters that may come before the

in person at the Annual Meeting to revoke your proxy. All shares of CNBs common stock represented
by valid proxies received pursuant to this solicitation, and not revoked before their exercise,
will be voted in the manner specified therein.
A quorum for the meeting is present if at least a majority of the outstanding shares is
present in person or by proxy. Votes withheld and abstentions will count in determining the
presence of a quorum for the particular matter as to which the shareholder withheld authority.
Those who fail to return a proxy card or attend the meeting will not count towards determining a
quorum.
PURPOSES OF MEETING
1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
General
The Bylaws of CNB provide for a classified Board of Directors which are divided into three
classes of directors, each class to be as nearly equal in number of directors as possible. The
four members whose terms expire represent those nominated to serve for a three year term without
any replacements.
As required by West Virginia law, each share is entitled to one vote per nominee, unless a
shareholder requests cumulative voting for directors at least 48 hours before the meeting. If a
shareholder properly requests cumulative voting for directors, then each CNB shareholder will have
the right to vote the number of shares owned by that shareholder for as many persons as there are
directors to be elected, or to cumulate such shares and give one candidate as many votes as the
number of directors multiplied by the number of shares owned shall equal, or to distribute them on
the same principle among as many candidates as the shareholder sees fit. If any shares are voted
cumulatively for the election of directors, the proxies, unless otherwise directed, shall have full
discretion and authority to cumulate their votes and vote for less than all such nominees. For all
other purposes, each share is entitled to one vote.
2
To vote cumulatively, you multiply the number of shares you own times the number of nominees,
resulting in a cumulative total. You may vote your cumulative total for one nominee or divide it
among all four nominees in any proportion you choose. The following is an example of how
cumulative voting works. If you own five shares and there are four nominees for director, you have
a cumulative total of 20 votes. You may choose to vote all 20 votes for one nominee and not vote
for the other nominees. Or, you may allocate five votes for each nominee. Or, you may choose any
other allocation of your cumulative total over all or part of the four nominees. If you vote your
shares cumulatively by proxy, you must indicate how you wish to divide your cumulative total.
Otherwise, the proxies will vote the cumulative total evenly or in a manner to elect as many of
CNBs nominees as possible. For all other purposes, each share is entitled to one vote.
Management Nominees to CNB Board
The following table sets forth information on the current directors of CNB who are also the
management nominees. All nominees are incumbent directors of CNB Financial Services, Inc.
All Board members are independent except for Mr. Rokisky, President and CEO of CNB and Charles
Trump, IV, whose firm provides legal services for CNB.

Nominating Committee
In 2009, for purposes of the directors that are nominated for the 2010 Annual Meeting, the
Board of Directors of CNB did not maintain a separate nominating committee as the entire Board of
Directors performed the functions of a nominating committee. As there has been very low turnover
in director positions, the Board of Directors believed it is in the best position to identify the
criteria for open Board positions and to review background information on potential candidates.
The Board does, however, believe that candidates for director should have certain minimum
qualifications, including:
|
|
|
Directors should be of the highest ethical character.
|
|
|
|
Directors should have excellent personal and professional reputations in CNBs
market area.
|
|
|
|
Directors should be accomplished in their professions or careers.
|
|
|
|
Directors should be able to read and comprehend financial statements and either
have knowledge of, or the ability and willingness to learn, financial institution
law.
|
8
|
|
|
Directors should have relevant experience and expertise to evaluate financial
data and provide direction and advice to the chief executive officer and the ability
to exercise sound business judgment.
|
|
|
|
Directors must be willing and able to expend the time to attend meetings of the
Board of Directors of CNB and the bank and to serve on board committees.
|
|
|
|
The Board of Directors will consider whether a nominee is independent as legally
defined. In addition, directors should avoid the appearance of any conflict and
should be independent of any particular constituency and be able to serve all
shareholders of CNB.
|
|
|
|
Directors must be acceptable to CNBs and the banks regulatory agencies,
including the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
the West Virginia Division of Banking and must not be under any legal disability
which prevents them from serving on the Board of Directors or participating in the
affairs of a financial institution.
|
|
|
|
Directors must be at least 21 years of age.
|
The Board of Directors of CNB reserves the right to modify these minimum qualifications from
time to time, except where the qualifications are required by the laws relating to financial
institutions.
The process of the Board of Directors for identifying and evaluating nominees is as follows:
In the case of incumbent directors whose terms are set to expire, the board of directors considers
the directors overall service to CNB during their term, including such factors as the number of
meetings attended, the level of participation, quality of performance and any transactions between
such directors and CNB and its subsidiary, CNB Bank, Inc. (the bank). The Board of Directors
also reviews the payment history of loans, if any, made to such directors by the bank to ensure
that the directors are not chronically delinquent and in default. The Board of Directors considers
whether any transactions between the directors and the bank have been criticized by any banking
regulatory agency or the banks internal auditors and whether corrective action, if required, has
been taken and was sufficient. The Board of Directors also confirms that such directors remain
eligible to serve on the Board of Directors of a financial institution under federal and state law.
For new director candidates, the Board of Directors uses its network of contacts of CNBs market
area to compile a list of potential candidates. The Board then meets to discuss each candidate and
whether he or she meets the criteria set forth above. The Board of Directors then discusses each
candidates qualifications and recommends a candidate by majority vote.
The Board of Directors will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders, provided
that the recommendations are received at least 120 days before the next Annual Meeting of
Shareholders. In addition, the procedures set forth below must be followed by shareholders for
submitting nominations. The Board of Directors does not intend to alter the manner in which it
evaluates candidates, regardless of whether or not the candidate was recommended or nominated by a
shareholder.
Any nominations for election to the Board of Directors, other than those made by CNB, must be
made by a shareholder. The nomination must be in writing and delivered or mailed to the president
9
not less than 40 days nor more than 50 days prior to the meeting. However, if CNB gives less
than 50 days notice of the meeting, the nominations must be mailed or delivered to the president
not later than the eighth day after the Notice of Annual Meeting was mailed.
A shareholder nomination should include the:
|
|
|
name and address of the proposed nominee(s) and all other information
required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for elections of directors
as required under 14A under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934;
|
|
|
|
principal occupation of proposed nominee(s);
|
|
|
|
name and address of the shareholder making the nomination;
|
|
|
|
number of shares owned by the shareholder making the nomination; and
|
|
|
|
such nominees consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and
to serving as such a director, if elected.
|
The full Board of Directors determines whether each Board member meets the applicable legal
standards for Board member and Board committee independence. The Board of Directors reviews the
annual questionnaires completed by each of the directors and a report setting forth any
transactions that a particular director or its affiliated entities has with CNB or the bank. As a
result of this review, the Board affirmatively determined that all of the directors were
independent except for Mr. Rokisky and Charles Trump, IV. Mr. Rokisky is not considered
independent due to his role as President and Chief Executive Officer of CNB, and Mr. Trump is not
considered independent due to the fact that his law firm provides legal services to CNB and, in
addition, he was a partner in Morgan County Title Insurance Agency, LLC, which CNB paid management
fees. This LLC was dissolved on August 31, 2009.
In making its independence determinations, the Board considered that in the ordinary course of
business, transactions may occur between the bank and companies or entities of which some of our
directors have interests. One area of inquiry is the amount of loans outstanding and the terms of
those loans. In connection with such loans, the Board of Directors considers that all of the loans
made to directors were made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates, collateral
and repayment terms on loans) as comparable transactions with non-affiliated parties.
Additionally, the Board considers whether such loans involve more than the normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features. The definition of independence used by CNB
is that contained in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rules. That
definition of independence is attached hereto as Appendix I.
Although the Board does not have a policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in
identifying director nominees, the Board does consider geographic diversity and diversity in
business experience in identifying nominees for director. The banks market is in Morgan and
Berkeley Counties, West Virginia and mostly recently expanded to Washington County, Maryland. The
Board considers director nominees from these market areas who exemplify prudent business savvy and
a knowledge of the local area. The Board consists of both male and female members. The current
directors come from a host of backgrounds and occupations ranging from medical to real estate
brokers to the automobile industry. The Board welcomes the different and valid viewpoints each
director has to offer to the operation of CNB and the bank.
10
Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight Role
The roles of Chairman of the Board of Directors and President/Chief Executive Officer of CNB
are not currently held by the same person. The Chairman of the Board has never been an officer or
employee of CNB or the bank. The foregoing structure is not mandated by any provision of law or
our articles of incorporation or bylaws, but the Board of Directors currently believes that this
structure provides for an appropriate balance of authority between management and the Board. The
Board of Directors reserves the right to establish a different structure in the future.
The Board of Directors of CNB, all of the members of which are also members of the Board of
Directors of the Bank, is actively involved in CNBs and the banks risk oversight activities,
through the work of numerous committees of CNB and the bank, and the policy approval function of
the Board of Directors of the bank.
Other Director Information
If any of the nominees for election as directors is unable to serve due to death or other
unexpected occurrence, your proxies will be voted for a substitute nominee or nominees designated
by the board of CNB, or the Board of Directors may adopt a resolution to reduce the number of
directors to be elected. The Board of Directors is unaware of any other matters to be considered
at the Annual Meeting other than those matters stated in the Notice of Annual Meeting of
Shareholders. If any other matters properly come before the meeting, persons named in the
accompanying proxy will vote your shares in accordance with the direction of the Board of
Directors.

Board Compensation
Directors receive $200 for each Board meeting of the bank they attend, $175 for each discount
committee meeting, $150 for each audit committee meeting and $100 for other committee meetings they
attend. There is no compensation for attendance at CNB Board meetings. However, each director
receives a fee of $6,000 per year. The chairman of the Board receives an additional $5,000 per
year and the vice chairman receives an additional $1,500 per year. Other than the deferred
compensation plan described below, there are no other special arrangements with any directors. In
2009, the Board of Directors of CNB received $214,988, in the aggregate, for all Board of
Directors meetings attended and all fees paid.
CNB maintains a deferred compensation plan for directors pursuant to which a director may
elect to defer receipt of a portion of fees for Board meetings for at least four years or until he
reaches age 65, whichever is later. An amount equal to fees waived in addition to interest at an
annual rate of 10% per year will be paid to each participating director or his designated
beneficiary during a period
12
of 10 years after the director reaches age 65. The payments after retirement will be paid
from the general funds of CNB. CNB purchases and is the beneficiary of insurance on the lives of
participants, the proceeds of which are used to help recover the net after-tax cost of the benefits
and insurance premiums paid. Funds from the deferred fees of a participating director will be used
to reimburse CNB for the costs of the premium for the insurance policies. The cost of the
insurance premiums in 2009 was $55,208. At December 31, 2009, these policies had a net accumulated
cash value of $1,601,720. Due to the death of Robert L. Hawvermale, one of the banks directors on
February 19, 2009, the bank received $194,184 in a death benefit as the bank was the named
beneficiary of a life insurance policy on the director. $135,326 was the cash surrender value of
the life insurance policy and had been recorded as an asset on the banks books. The difference of
$58,858 is reflected in other operating income for 2009.
Membership on Certain Board Committees

Personnel Committee
During 2009, the personnel committee consisted of Jay E. Dick, Chairperson, Kenneth W.
Apple, Herbert L. Eppinger, J. Philip Kesecker, Martha H. Quarantillo and Charles S. Trump IV (ex
officio). The Board of Directors has determined that each current member of the personnel
committee is independent as provided by the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(FINRA), except for Charles Trump, IV. The personnel committee met three times during the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2009. Each member of the personnel committee attended at least 75% of all
meetings held during 2009.
The principal responsibilities of the Personnel Committee are as follows:
13
review the performance of the Chief Executive Officer of CNB and the bank and
determine, or recommend to the Board, the compensation, including salary and bonus awards;
review all personnel related issues including salary administration, compensation ranges
and benefit programs related to all other employees; and
review and submit to the Board for approval any major compensation and benefits programs
and plans, such as 401(k) and bonus plans, and the amendments thereto.
The Personnel Committee has delegated the authority of establishing the compensation levels
for executive officers and all other personnel to the Chief Executive Officer. The Personnel
Committee, in its review of salary administration, ensures that its objectives of a total
compensation package to fill key executive positions with qualified individuals and to utilize
effective compensation programs which are directly related to executive officers accomplishing
corporate goals and objectives are being met.
The Personnel Committee and the Chief Executive Officer utilize human resources staff, and,
as appropriate, other qualified consultants to review compensation practices as they compare to
industry norms. In 2009, the Personnel Committee relied only on CNBs human resources staff for
information concerning industry norms.
The Personnel Committee does not currently have a written charter.
Audit Committee
In 2009, members of the audit committee included Margaret S. Bartles, Chairperson,
Kenneth W. Apple, John E. Barker, Jay E. Dick, Jerry McGraw, Arlie R. Yost and Charles S. Trump IV
(ex officio), none of whom is employed by CNB. The Board of Directors has determined that each of
the current members of the audit committee is independent within the meaning of the enhanced
independent standards for audit committee members in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and rules
thereunder, as amended, and under FINRA rules, except for Charles Trump, IV. The Board of
Directors has also determined that Kenneth W. Apple, CPA, member of the audit committee, is an
audit committee financial expert within the meaning of the rules promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission and pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The audit committee held

AUDIT RELATED MATTERS
Audit Committee
The functions of the audit committee include performing all duties the Board assigns, meeting
with the independent registered public accountants to review the scope of audit services,
significant accounting changes, audit conclusions regarding significant accounting estimates,
assessments as to the adequacy of internal controls and the resolution of any significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses and compliance with laws and regulations, overseeing the
internal audit function, reviewing regulatory examination reports and managements responses
thereto, and reviewing periodic reports from the loan review function.
The audit committee is governed by a written charter approved by the Board of Directors.
CNBs Board of Directors has determined that Kenneth W. Apple, CPA, meets the requirements of
an audit committee financial expert as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Board of Directors believes that Mr. Apple has the following five attributes that qualify him as an
audit committee financial expert. This director, through education and experience, has:
|
|
|
An understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting
principles;
|
|
|
|
|
An ability to assess the general application of generally accepted accounting
principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;
|
|
|
|
|
Some experience in preparing, auditing, analyzing and evaluating financial
statements that present a level of complexity of accounting issues comparable to the
breadth of issues that could reasonably be expected to be presented by CNBs
financial statements;
|
|
|
|
|
An understanding of internal controls; and
|
15
|
|
|
An understanding of audit committee functions.
|
Mr. Apple acquired these attributes through his Bachelor of Science degree in Business
Administration with a concentration in Accounting from Shepherd College in Shepherdstown, West
Virginia, and over 25 years of experience in public accounting, including auditing.
Audit Committee Report
The audit committee, in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities regarding the audit process:
|
|
|
Reviewed and discussed the fiscal year 2009 audited financial statements with
management;
|
|
|
|
|
Discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm, Smith
Elliott Kearns & Company, LLC, who is responsible for expressing an opinion on
the fairness of the presentation of those audited financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the matters required
to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard
AU Section 380, Communication with Audit Committees, and Rule 2-07 of
Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC, as modified or supplemented; and
|
|
|
|
|
Reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors
required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence
Discussions with Audit Committees, as modified or supplemented), and discussed
with the independent auditors any relationships that may impact their
objectivity and independence.
|
Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting
process including the systems of internal controls, and the audit committee relies on the expertise
and knowledge of management, the companys internal auditors and the independent auditors in
carrying out its oversight responsibilities. The specific responsibilities in carrying out the
audit committees oversight role are set forth in CNBs audit committee charter. This charter is
reviewed annually and is amended as may be required to reflect changes in industry accounting
practices or the promulgation of new rules or guidance documents. In fulfilling its oversight
responsibilities, the committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the
accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures
in the financial statements.
The committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an
opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, their judgments as to the quality, not just the
acceptability, of CNBs accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be
discussed with the committee under standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. In
addition, the committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors independence from
management and CNB, including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence
Standards Board and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors
independence.
16
Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the audit committee recommended to
the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009,
be included on Form 10-K and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The foregoing report has been furnished by the current members of the audit committee.

Acts.

The audit committee charter requires that the audit committee pre-approve all audit and
non-audit services to be provided to CNB by the independent accountants; provided, however, that
the audit committee has specifically authorized its chairperson to pre-approve the provision of any
non-audit service to CNB. Further, the foregoing pre-approval policies may be waived, with respect
to the provision of any non-audit services consistent with the exceptions for federal securities
law. All of the services described above for which Smith Elliott Kearns & Company, LLC billed CNB
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, were pre-approved by CNBs audit committee. For
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, CNBs audit committee did not waive the pre-approval
requirement of any non-audit services to be provided to CNB by Smith Elliott Kearns & Company, LLC.
The audit committee of the Board of Directors has determined that the provision of such
services is compatible with maintaining Smith Elliott Kearns & Company, LLCs independence.

program to a high deductible plan and concurrently established health reimbursement accounts
for each employee on the plan. The bank funded $750 for each participant in 2008. In
accordance with IRS Code Section 79, the cost of group life insurance coverage for an
individual in excess of $50,000 is added to the individuals earnings and is included in
salary. Also included in this figure are Board fees earned and the corporations
contributions to the individuals 401(k) retirement savings program to which the individual
has a vested interest.

Pension Plan
CNB maintains a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan with employer contributions
being based on a pension formula, which targets a certain monthly benefit for each plan participant
at retirement. This pension plan is a qualified retirement plan and is available to all full-time
employees, including officers, who meet the eligibility requirements. Directors do not participate
in this plan.
The pension plan is integrated with social security and is applicable to all participants.
Pensions for all participants are based on an average of the highest five-years compensation.
Annual compensation for the pension plan is defined as the total cash remuneration reportable on
the employees IRS form W-2, plus pre-tax contributions to employee benefit plans. The formula for
determining the annual pension benefit is 2.0 percent of the 5-year average compensation multiplied
by years of service up to a 25-year maximum effective for the plan year beginning November 1, 2004.
The pension benefits are payable to participants on a monthly basis in the form of a joint and
50 percent survivor annuity for all married participants who do not elect otherwise, or in the form
of a single life annuity for all other participants or survivors. Joint and 100 percent
survivorship, single life annuity or 120 payments guaranteed are other optional forms of
distribution. The normal retirement date for employees is the later of the participants
65
th
birthday, or the fifth anniversary of the participant joining the plan. An
employee must be at least 21 years of age and have one full year of service to become a plan
participant. Full vesting in accumulated plan benefits occurs at the end of five years of service;
there is no partial vesting. For the 2009 plan year, the employer contribution for all plan
participants was $477,092.

Nonqualified Supplemental Retirement Plan
Effective January 2, 2004, CNB entered into a nonqualified supplemental retirement
benefit agreement with the President which when fully vested would pay the President or his
beneficiary an amount of $30,000 per year for 10 years beginning June 11, 2011, if he
retires on or after May 29, 2011. Termination of employment prior to that date other than
by reasons of death or disability will result in a reduced benefit. The expense charged to
operations related to the plan during 2009 amounted to $22,867. The benefits to be
provided by this plan are not being funded by current resources.
401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
CNB maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan that generally covers all employees who have
completed one year of service. Contributions to the plan are based on bank performance as a
percentage of assets and are computed as a percentage of the participants total deferrals into the
plan. The payment of benefits to participants is made at death, disability, termination or
retirement. Contributions to the plan for all employees charged to operations during 2009 amounted
to $36,243.
OTHER INFORMATION
Personnel Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Loans were made to various directors and officers of CNB. These loans were made in the
ordinary course of business, made on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and
collateral requirements, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated
customers and did not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility or present other
unfavorable features.
20
Certain Transactions with Directors and Officers and Their Associates
CNB has had and intends to continue to have banking and financial transactions in the ordinary
course of business with directors and executive officers of CNB and their associates. All loans to
executive officers and directors and their associates are approved prior to disbursement by the
discount committee and/or the Board of Directors. These approvals are evidenced by the discount
committee and/or Board minutes. The banks loan policy and Regulation O policy governs these
transactions. Total loans outstanding from CNB at December 31, 2009, to CNBs officers and
directors as a group and members of their immediate families and companies in which they had an
ownership interest of 10% or more was $1,820,065, or approximately 7.1% of total equity capital and .9%
of total loans. Management believes that all of these transactions were made on substantially
the same terms (including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms on loans) as comparable
transactions with non-affiliated persons. These loans do not involve more than the normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
Trump and Trump, in which director Charles S. Trump, IV is a partner, performed legal services
for CNB and the Bank. Fees paid by CNB and the bank to that law firm were $67,367 during 2009.
CNB, Charles S. Trump, IV and George I. McVey are members in a Limited Liability Company,
Morgan County Title Insurance Agency, LLC, which was formed in February 2001. Morgan County Title
Insurance Agency, LLC, paid Trump and Trump management fees of $7,665. Charles S. Trump, IV and
George I. McVey are partners in Trump and Trump. On August 31, 2009, Morgan County Title
Insurance Agency, LLC was dissolved and the final distribution was made during the fourth quarter
2009.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires CNBs directors and executive
officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the registered class of CNBs equity securities, to
make stock ownership and transaction filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to
provide copies to CNB. Based solely on a review of the reports furnished to CNB and written
statements that no other reports were required, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to
its officers and directors were met.
The following table sets forth information as of February 25, 2010, relating to the beneficial
ownership of the common stock by (a) each person or group known by CNB to own beneficially more
than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (b) each of CNBs directors; and (c) all directors and
executive officers of CNB as a group. Unless otherwise noted below, the persons named in the table
have sole investment power with respect to each of the shares reported as beneficially owned by
such person.
