 Exhibit 10.2 
 RETIREMENT AGREEMENT 
 BY AND BETWEEN 

FARMERS NATIONAL BANC CORP. AND FARMERS NATIONAL BANK 
 AND 
 FRANK L. PADEN 

Effective as of the Effective Date (as defined in Section 7.03[4]), Farmers National Banc Corp. and Farmers National Bank (collectively
“Farmers Bank” or the “Employers”), and Frank L. Paden (“Mr. Paden”), (collectively, the “Parties”), enter into this Retirement Agreement (“Agreement”) to describe the terms and conditions of
Mr. Paden’s continuing employment with Farmers Bank and subsequent retirement at the end of the Term (as defined below) of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 1 TERM OF AGREEMENT 
 Unless employment terminates at an earlier date as provided
in Article 2, Mr. Paden will remain employed by Farmers Bank from the Effective Date until September 30, 2011 (“Term”), at which time Mr. Paden agrees that he will voluntarily terminate employment with the Employers
because of retirement. 
 ARTICLE 2 EMPLOYMENT DURING THE TERM AND RETIREMENT 

2.01 Mr. Paden will remain employed by the Employers under the terms and conditions contained in an employment agreement between Farmers
National Bank of Canfield and Mr. Paden, dated December 23, 2008 (the “Employment Agreement”). A copy of the Employment Agreement is attached as Exhibit “B.” Mr. Paden agrees to the following: 

[1] Effective at the close of business on September 30, 2011 (“Retirement Date”), the Employment Agreement will
expire and Mr. Paden will retire and his employment will terminate and such employment termination shall be Mr. Paden’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations promulgated or published thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”); 
 [2] This Agreement shall be deemed acceptable and appropriate notice of the non-renewal of the Employment Agreement under paragraph 3 of the Employment Agreement 

[3] Effective as of the Retirement Date, Mr. Paden will [a] resign as a director, including his role as Executive
Chairman of the Board of Directors of Farmers Bank; and [b] resign from the Office of Secretary of Farmers National Banc Corp.; 
 and 
 [4] Effective as of the Retirement Date, Mr. Paden will resign
from any other position held with Farmers Bank or any other related entity. 

  
 1 








 2.02 Reporting. During the Term of this Agreement Mr. Paden will report directly to the Board of
Directors of Farmers Bank. 
 ARTICLE 3 POST TERM CONSIDERATION 
 Effective as of the Retirement Date and subject to this Article and to Article 2: 
 3.01
Expiration of Term. Mr. Paden agrees that he will comply with the terms of this Agreement and will voluntarily terminate his employment because of retirement on the Retirement Date. In exchange, but subject to Mr. Paden’s [1]
execution and non-revocation of a general release substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (“General Release”), [2] compliance with any restrictions imposed under Section 409A of the Code, and [3] compliance
with the terms of this Agreement, Mr. Paden will receive the benefits described in this Article. 
 3.02 Separation Pay. Farmers
Bank will pay to Mr. Paden “Separation Pay” in the amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00), less all withholding deductions for applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and any applicable
court authorized support withholdings. The Separation Pay will be paid in Eighteen (18) equal monthly installments, beginning on the first regularly scheduled payday following the Retirement Date, provided that: [1] the seven (7) day
statutory period during which Mr. Paden may revoke such General Release has expired before the first payday and; [2] in compliance with Section 409A or, if earlier, within thirty (30) days following Mr. Paden’s death.

 3.03 Retiree Health Insurance Benefits. Farmers Bank will amend its retiree medical plan(s) to permit Mr. Paden to be eligible to
participate in the retirement hospitalization insurance that Farmers Bank maintains for its retirees in accordance with the provisions of that plan and program and on the same basis as other retired employees of Farmers Bank who may participate in
the retiree medical plan and related hospitalization insurance. Mr. Paden will be responsible for his portion of the monthly premium consistent with other retiree medical plan participants. The Employers represent and warrant to Mr. Paden
such retiree medical plan(s) satisfies the retiree-only exemption of Code Section 9831(a)(2) and Section 732(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Therefore, provided the Employers
maintain such retiree medical plan(s) to satisfy the retiree-only exemption of the Code and ERISA (and any subsequent similar legislation), to the extent that Mr. Paden’s participation in the retiree medical plan(s) would be discriminatory
under Section 105 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 2716 of the Public Health Services Act, Mr. Paden shall be responsible for any taxes related to his participation which are imposed upon him by the Internal Revenue Service and
state and local tax authorities. If Section 2716 of the Public Health Services Act is determined to be applicable to the retiree health plan, Farmers reserves the right, in lieu of continuing Mr. Paden’s participation in the retiree
health plan, to provide Mr. Paden with benefits that are substantially similar to those provided under the retiree health insurance plan and at a premium cost equal to the monthly premium paid by other retiree medical plan participants.

 3.04 Existing Deferred Compensation Agreement. Mr. Paden will continue to be eligible to receive benefits under the deferred
compensation agreement dated January 1, 2005 and attached hereto as Exhibit “C” (“Deferred Compensation Agreement”). Any such benefit is governed by 

  
 2 








 
the terms of the Deferred Compensation Agreement, but this confirms our understanding that under the Deferred Compensation Agreement Mr. Paden will be entitled to receive the amount of
$656.47 per month beginning with the first regularly scheduled payroll following September 30, 2011 and continuing on the first payroll of each month thereafter for a period of 203 months, subject to the terms of the Deferred Compensation
Agreement. 
 3.05 No Duplicate Payments. Nothing in this Article 3 is intended to result in the duplication of any payments or
benefits provided to Mr. Paden prior to the execution of this Agreement or under the terms of any other agreement by and between Mr. Paden and the Employers (“Prior Agreements”) or under any other employee benefit plan or program
maintained or sponsored by the Employers on or before the Effective Date, including, without limitation, board of director compensation, any accrued vacation or paid time off payments, and payments under any incentive compensation plans. 

3.06 Effect of Other Severance Benefits. Regardless of any other provision of this Agreement and except as specifically provided in this
Agreement, all amounts paid under this Article 3 will be in lieu of any amounts payable to Mr. Paden from any broad-based severance program in which Mr. Paden participates and, by signing this Agreement, Mr. Paden specifically
waives any rights to receive any amounts from any broad-based severance program in which he participates. 
 ARTICLE 4
POST-TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS 
 4.01 Restrictive Covenants. Mr. Paden expressly covenants and agrees that, during and after the
Term, he will comply with the restrictive covenants contained in the Employment Agreement and Deferred Compensation Agreement; provided, however, that Section 5 of the Deferred Compensation Agreement is hereby amended to reduce the period of
the Covenant Not to Compete to eighteen (18) months from the Retirement Date. To the extent that the restrictions contained in the Employment Agreement conflict with the restrictions contained in the Deferred Compensation Agreement as herein
amended, the restrictions providing the greatest protection for the Employers will control. 
 4.02 Return of Materials. Mr. Paden
agrees [1] to deliver or return to Farmers Bank upon the Retirement Date all written Confidential Information (as defined in the Employment Agreement) furnished by the Employers or prepared by Mr. Paden in connection with his
employment, and [2] that he will not knowingly retain any copies of any of the materials described in Section 4.02[1]. Should Mr. Paden, at any time in the future discover that he is in possession of any confidential
information or other assets of the Employer’s which he was unaware of at the signing of this Agreement, he shall furthermore return the same to Farmers Bank. In addition, upon Mr. Paden’s termination of employment he agrees to
immediately return to Farmers Bank all property of Farmers Bank which is in his possession, including, but not limited to, memoranda, books, papers, computer files, laptops, credit cards and keys. 

4.03 Non-Disparagement - Cooperation. Mr. Paden and Farmers Bank (on its behalf and on behalf of each related entity) agree that he and it
will not make any disparaging remarks about the other, provided that neither Mr. Paden nor Farmers Bank will be precluded from making any remarks in any legally required communication in the course of any legal proceeding. Mr. Paden


  
 3 








 
shall fully and completely cooperate with the Farmers Bank and Farmers Bank’s counsel in connection with any legal or administrative matter brought against the Farmers Bank or any related
entity. 
 4.04 Indemnity and Insurance. Farmers Bank shall maintain through the Retirement Date its Indemnification Agreement with
Mr. Paden dated May 1, 2011 (“Indemnification Agreement”) and the current Director’s and Officer’s liability insurance policy, covering Paden’s activities through the Retirement Date, upon the terms and conditions
of that Agreement and policy, which are incorporated herein by this reference. The Indemnification Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit D. 
 ARTICLE 5 ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENT 
 5.01 Except as specifically provided in this
section, Farmers Bank may not assign this Agreement to any person or entity. However, this Agreement may and will be assigned or transferred to, and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, any Successor of Farmers Bank, in which case this
Agreement will be interpreted and applied by substituting that Successor for Farmers Bank under the terms of this Agreement. For these purposes, “Successor” means any person, firm, institute or business entity which at any time, whether by
merger, purchase or otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the assets or the business of Farmers Bank. 
 5.02 Because the
services to be provided by Mr. Paden to Farmers Bank under this Agreement are personal to him, Mr. Paden may not assign the duties allocated to him under this Agreement to any other person or entity. However, this Agreement will inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by Mr. Paden’s personal or legal representatives, executors and administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees to the extent of any amounts payable to Mr. Paden that are due
to Mr. Paden upon his death. 
 ARTICLE 6 CONFIDENTIALITY, NONDISPARAGEMENTS 

6.01 The Parties acknowledge and agree that a material inducement for Farmers Bank to enter into this Agreement is Mr. Paden’s
obligations to hold completely confidential all matters relating to this Agreement other than the existence of the Agreement and the terms and conditions as expressly set forth herein. Therefore, in order to preserve the value of this Agreement to
Farmers Bank, Mr. Paden hereby agrees and acknowledges as follows: 
 [1] The events leading to this Agreement
and the facts relating thereto, other than the existence and the express terms and conditions of this Agreement, are confidential and shall not be disclosed or discussed by Mr. Paden or his attorney or other advisors, except as required by
legal process and then only after notice is first given by the party seeking to make disclosure such that the other party will have a reasonable opportunity to oppose disclosure; provided, however, that Mr. Paden may disclose such matters
relating to this Agreement to his spouse, attorney(s) or accountant(s). Mr. Paden and his attorney(s) agree not to discuss with any member of the press or any other media or in any non-judicial public or private forum, any such information
relating to the Agreement other than its existence and the express terms and conditions contained herein; and 

  
 4 








 [2] Employers may make such public disclosures relating to this Agreement to their
shareholders, directors, trustees, officers, agents, insurers, employees, accountants, financial advisors, and regulatory agencies (including without limitation the Securities and Exchange Commission), and make such public filings and/or summaries
of this Agreement, as they may deem to be advisable and as required by applicable securities laws and regulations. 
 6.02 Mr. Paden
further agrees that during the Term and following his retirement, Mr. Paden shall not make any public statements which disparage the Employers or any affiliate or any of their respective directors, officers or employees. Nothing in the
foregoing is intended to prohibit Mr. Paden from making truthful statements required by order of a court, governmental body or regulatory body having appropriate jurisdiction.
