Item 8.01		Other Events.

     CNB Corporation previously disclosed that on May 19, 2009, its wholly owned subsidiary, Citizens National Bank of Cheboygan (the “Bank”), filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for the County of Cheboygan, State of Michigan against Heber-Fuger-Wendin, Inc., a Michigan corporation with its principal place of business in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan (“HFW”) and Mark Williams, HFW’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“Williams”). HFW acted as the exclusive investment advisor to the Bank from 1948 until February 2009, when the Bank terminated the investment advisory relationship. Williams was HFW’s relationship manager to the Bank.

     The complaint alleged, among other things, that certain auction rate securities (“ARS”) were purchased by the Bank for investment at the recommendation of HFW and Williams beginning in 2006 and that HFW and Williams breached their fiduciary duties to the Bank by, among other things, making investment recommendations to the Bank which were not suitable and by failing to keep informed of the developments in the markets in which those investments were traded.

     The Bank, HFW and Williams entered into a confidential settlement agreement dated as of August 1, 2010 on mutually acceptable terms, and this matter is now resolved.
