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

On December 12, 2008, Team Financial, Inc. (the "Company") adopted an employee retention program whereby certain key employees, including the Company's named executive officers, may be eligible to be awarded retention bonuses for continued employment with the Company. The program was adopted because the Company's ability to perform certain critical functions is dependant on the successful retention of various key employees. Under the program, retention bonuses may be awarded at the discretion of Company management and, where warranted, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. Retention bonuses may range from .25% to 2% of the recipient's annual base salary and may not be awarded more than once per week to individual employees.

Item 8.01 Other Events

On December 10, 2008, TeamBank, N.A. (the "Bank"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, cured its previously disclosed collateral deficit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka ("FHLB"). The Bank cured the collateral deficit by pledging additional loans as collateral and through the reduction of the outstanding balance with a portion of the proceeds from the Bank's bank owned life insurance policies, which the Bank borrowed against. As of December 10, 2008, the Bank had approximately $105.9 million in total outstanding obligations at the FHLB, which was comprised of approximately $28.0 million in outstanding letters of credit and approximately $77.9 million in outstanding advances. Maintaining adequate liquidity for the Bank continues to be a priority and management of the bank expects to continue to work with the FHLB to ensure that adequate collateral is available to cover the outstanding obligations.
