This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the prior statement on Schedule 13D (as amended, the “Statement”) as filed by Louis A. DeNaples and Dominick L. DeNaples (the “Reporting Persons”) related to the common stock, par value $1.25 per share (the “Common Stock”), of FNCB Bancorp, Inc. (previously known as First National Community Bancorp, Inc.) (the “Issuer”). This Statement has been previously amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on August 22, 2007 and Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed on October 3, 2012. In the event that any disclosure contained in this Amendment No. 3 is inconsistent with the disclosures contained in the Statement, the disclosures contained herein shall supersede such inconsistent disclosures from the date of this Amendment No. 3.

Item 1. Security and the Issuer

There are no amendments to Item 1 of the Statement pursuant to this Amendment No. 3.

Item 2. Identity and Background

There are no amendments to Item 2 of the Statement pursuant to this Amendment No. 3.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The Statement is amended to provide that since the date of Amendment No. 2, additional shares of Common Stock acquired by the Reporting Persons were acquired pursuant to awards of Common Stock under the Issuer’s 2013 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan or the Issuer’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan or pursuant to the Issuer’s Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (as amended, the “DRIP”). In addition, from time to time, the Reporting Persons have purchased additional shares of Common Stock in open market purchases or through negotiated purchases of such shares. Each such transaction was made without additional funds or other consideration, except to the extent that such Reporting Person contributed dividend payments from the Issuer pursuant to an election under the DRIP or purchased shares through open market purchases or negotiated transactions.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons acquired shares of Common Stock and all other shares of Common Stock that the Reporting Persons own as of the date hereof, for investment. Each of the Reporting Persons has served as a director of the Issuer for more than the last five years, except that Dominick L. DeNaples served as Director Emeritus from May 2019 until February 2023. The Issuer's board of directors has approved and the Issuer has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Peoples Financial Services, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“PFIS”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the effective time of the Merger (as defined below), the Issuer will be merged with and into PFIS with PFIS surviving the merger (the “Merger”). Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each director of the Issuer, including Louis A. DeNaples, Dominick L. DeNaples and certain entities affiliated with each of them entered into a Voting and Support Agreement with PFIS, dated as of September 27, 2023 (the “Support Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Support Agreement, each Reporting Person has agreed, among other things, to vote shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock owned by such Reporting Person, and over which such Reporting Person has the right to dispose of and has voting power, in favor of the Merger Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and against any competing acquisition proposal, any action, agreement, transaction or proposal which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Issuer in the Merger Agreement in any material respect, or other action that is intended or would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or discourage any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Support Agreements will terminate in certain circumstances, including upon consummation of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Other than as set herein and as may be set forth in or contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement, the Reporting Person does not have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated in (a) through (i) above.

Each of the Reporting Persons may from time to time review or reconsider his intention in holding and/or acquiring shares of Common Stock, to the extent such reconsideration and review is not limited by the Merger Agreement and Support Agreement, and at such time may formulate a plan or proposal that relates to or would result in one or more of the matters referred to above in (b) through (j).

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended by deleting paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) thereof and inserting the following:

(a) As of the date of this Schedule 13D, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns shares of Common Stock in such numbers as set forth on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D.
