Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(a)
On December 26, 2006, Gerald F. Sopp, age 50, accepted appointment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the registrant, DNB Financial Corporation (“DNB”). Mr. Sopp’s appointment and his employment with DNB were effective January 2, 2007 and he will serve at the pleasure of DNB’s board of directors. There were no special arrangements or understandings pursuant to which he was selected as an officer, other than DNB’s offer letter, filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1. There are no family relationships between Mr. Sopp and any director or other executive officer of DNB. During the five years prior to joining DNB, Mr. Sopp was employed during 2006 as the Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer with Wilmington Trust Corporation, Wilmington, Delaware. In that position, he was responsible for developing, implementing and managing an enterprise-wide, centralized regulatory compliance program. Previous to that, from 2000 to 2006, he was employed as Vice President and Controller of Wilmington Trust Corporation. In that position, he managed the controllership function of an SEC-registered, publicly held financial services company through a staff of 73 people. He was responsible for financial and regulatory reporting including SEC, general accounting, payroll, accounts payable, fixed assets, budgeting and Sarbanes Oxley Rule 404 compliance. Since the beginning of 2005, neither Mr. Sopp, nor any of his immediate family members, nor any organization or entity in which he has a direct or indirect ownership interest of 10% or more or an interest other than only as board member, has engaged in, or is a party to any proposed transaction, or had or will have a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction, in which DNB was or is to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeded or would exceed $120,000.

                
The terms of his employment as presently agreed are reflected in the offer letter of DNB to Mr. Sopp dated December 20, 2006, filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and include: (1) twice-monthly salary of $6,250.00; (2) upon completion of a 90-day initial employment period, 20 vacation days, 5 sick days and 2 personal days based upon Bank policy; (3) eligibility for participation in all compensation and employee benefit plans, including life insurance at the allowable maximum, medical insurance for Mr. Sopp and his eligible dependents, and all other benefits and perquisites maintained by DNB for officers, including stock options and incentive compensation (Mr. Sopp will be eligible for participation in the medical and life insurance plans 3 months from his date of hire); (4) an agreement by DNB that Mr. Sopp will receive a minimum $10,000 guaranteed bonus for year 2007 paid in accordance with normal plan distribution rules; (5) until he becomes eligible to participate in DNB’s health insurance program, during his employment with DNB it will pay or reimburse the difference between the cost of Mr. Sopp’s COBRA payments to his previous employer’s insurance provider and the amount that Mr. Sopp would be obligated to contribute for the same plan at DNB.

(b)
Effective January 2, 2007, Bruce E. Moroney, the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of DNB and its wholly owned subsidiary, DNB First, N.A. (the “Bank”), will no longer perform the duties of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of DNB, but will remain the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Bank.
