Item 5.02 (d) Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers.

On January 27, 2011 the board of directors of the Company elected Mr. F. Ford Drummond as a director of the Board. Mr. Drummond accepted the position effective immediately. Mr. Drummond will serve as a Class I director and his term will expire at the annual meeting of shareholders in May 2011 at which time he will stand for re-election. Mr. Drummond is currently the Owner/Operator of Drummond Ranch in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. Mr. Drummond is a graduate of Stanford University and he received his JD from the University of Virginia, School of Law in 1989.  Mr. Drummond served as General Counsel for BMI-Health Plans from 1998 to 2008.  Mr. Drummond has served on the Board of Trustees for Allianz Funds in New York from 2005-present. In addition, Mr. Drummond is a director of The Cleveland Bank in Cleveland, Oklahoma, where he has served since 1998. Mr. Drummond is also a member of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, a title he has held since 2006.
 
Mr. Drummond will serve on the Independent Directors’ Committee.  Mr. Drummond will participate in the Company’s outside director fee schedule as follows. 

The Company provides the following elements of compensation for its non-employee directors, each of whom is also a director of the Bank:

·
A retainer of $1,000 per quarter to each non-employee director for serving on the Board.
·
A retainer of $1,000 per month to each non-employee director for serving on the Bank’s Board of Directors.
·
A grant of 10,000 options to each non-employee director at the time of their initial appointment or election to the Board.

The option grants are provided under the BancFirst Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan and are exercisable at the rate of 25% per year beginning one year from the date of grant.  If a director is terminated for cause, all options will be forfeited immediately.  If a director ceases to be member of the Board for any other reason, unvested options will terminate and only previously vested options may be exercised for a period of 30 days following termination (or 12 months in the case of termination on account of death).

Non-employee directors can elect to defer all or any portion of their cash compensation through the BancFirst Corporation Directors’ Deferred Stock Compensation Plan.  Under the plan, directors of the Company may defer up to 100% of their Board fees.  They are credited for each deferral with a number of stock units based on the current market price of the Company’s stock, which accumulate in an account until such time as the director terminates service as a Board member.  Shares of our common stock are then distributed to the terminating director based upon the number of stock units accumulated in his or her account.  Because stock units are not actual shares of our common stock, they do not have any voting rights.

 
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Drummond and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as director and there are no transactions between the Company and Mr. Drummond that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
