Item 5. Other Events.

         The Form 8-K of Ohio Valley Banc Corp  ("OVBC")  filed on December  15,
1998 reported the  acquisition by OVBC of The Jackson  Savings Bank  ("Jackson")
under  Item  2  as  an  acquisition  or  disposition  of  assets.  However,  the
acquisition  of Jackson did not  constitute  the  acquisition  of a  significant
amount of assets as defined  under 17 C.F.R.  Section  210.11-01(d)  and Section
210.11-01(b).  Consequently,  this  Form-8K/A  is now  being  filed to amend the
original Form 8-K and report the  acquisition  of Jackson by OVBC under Item 5 -
Other Events.
         On December 15, 1998,  Ohio Valley Banc Corp.,  a bank holding  company
incorporated  under Ohio law, acquired The Jackson Savings Bank, a state savings
bank  incorporated  under Ohio law.  OVBC  acquired  Jackson  as a  wholly-owned
subsidiary through the merger of Jackson and Ohio Valley Interim Savings Bank, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of OVBC organized for the purpose of the acquisition.
         Jackson  Savings  is a  savings  bank  located  in  Jackson,  Ohio with
approximately $15.6 million in assets, $12.4 million in deposits,  $10.4 million
in loans and $2.9 million in shareholders' equity at September 30, 1998 based on
unaudited information. OVBC will continue to operate Jackson as a separate bank.
         Under the terms of the merger  agreement,  each of the 19,400 shares of
Jackson were exchanged for 74,195 common shares of OVBC in the  aggregate,  in a
ratio  of  3.8245  shares  of  OVBC  for  each  share  of  Jackson.   The  total
consideration  paid by OVBC was  approximately  $3.2 million based on $42.64 per
share,  the average  closing bid and asked  prices of OVBC common  shares on the
NASDAQ  National Market for a period of 20 trading days ending five trading days
before December 15, 1998.
         There was no  material  relationship  between  Jackson  and OVBC or its
affiliates, officers, and directors prior to this transaction.

Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

         (a)      Financial statements of business acquired:
                  The  acquisition of Jackson did not constitute the acquisition
of  a  significant  amount  of  assets  as  defined  under  17  C.F.R.   Section
210.11-01(d) and Section  210.11-01(b).  The financial statements of Jackson, as
audited by its independent  auditors,  were  previously  filed in a Registration
Statement  on Form  S-4,  originally  filed  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission on October 14, 1998, and are deemed to be part of this Form-8K/A.

         (b)      Pro forma financial information:
                  The  acquisition of Jackson did not constitute the acquisition
of  a  significant  amount  of  assets  as  defined  under  17  C.F.R.   Section
210.11-01(d)  and Section  210.11-01(b).  The pro forma financial  statements of
OVBC and Jackson were previously filed in a Registration  Statement on Form S-4,
originally  filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  on October 14,
1998, and are deemed to be part of this Form-8K/A.

         (c)      Exhibits:
                  2     Agreement and Plan of Reorganization,  dated as of April
                        8, 1998,  between Ohio Valley Banc Corp. and The Jackson

     Yesterday  afternoon,  the Ohio Valley Banc Corp. finalized the acquisition
of the Jackson Savings Bank based in Jackson, Ohio. Harold A. Howe, president of
Jackson  Savings  Bank,  was elected to the Board of  Directors  of the The Ohio
Valley Bank Company.
     Just last month, Jackson Savings Bank shareholders  overwhelmingly approved
the  acquisition  of their  company by the Ohio  Valley Banc Corp.  (OVBC).  The
transaction was approved by 96 percent of the  outstanding  Jackson Savings Bank
shares.
     This decision comes eight months after the OVBC Annual Shareholders Meeting
where the agreement to acquire  Jackson Savings Bank was made public by James L.
Dailey,  chairman and chief executive officer of Ohio Valley Bank. On that date,
the OVBC Board of  Directors  approved the  execution  of a Definitive  Purchase
Agreement for OVBC to acquire The Jackson Savings Bank.
     Under the terms of the  Agreement,  each of the  19,400  shares of  Jackson
Savings  Bank will be  exchanged  for 74,195  common  shares of Ohio Valley Banc
Corp.  in the  aggregate,  in a ratio  3.8245  shares of OVBC for each  share of
Jackson Savings Bank.
     James L. Dailey,  chairman and chief executive  officer of Ohio Valley Bank
expressed his enthusiasm for the transaction. "At OVB, we're proud to be part of
the Jackson Savings Bank  tradition."  Jackson Savings Bank, a  state-chartered,
FDIC insured  savings bank with total assets of $15.5  million and  shareholders
equity of $2.7  million as of March 31, 1998 will be operated as a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Ohio Valley Banc Corp.
     "We are very  excited  to join  Ohio  Valley  Banc  Corp.  and to remain as
Jackson  Savings  Bank as we begin our 100th year of  business,"  said Harold A.
Howe, President of The Jackson Savings Bank, referring to yesterday's closing of
the transaction.
     Currently,  Jackson  Savings Bank is planning  several  events to celebrate
their 100th anniversary during 1999. The bank was established on June 29, 1899.
     Ohio Valley Banc Corp. is a bank holding company operating Ohio Valley Bank
with offices in Meigs, Gallia,  Jackson,  Pike and Franklin counties in Ohio and
Mason and Putnam  counties  in W. Va. OVBC also has a consumer  finance  company
offices in Gallipolis, Jackson and South Point, Ohio operating under the name of
Loan Central.  Ohio Valley Banc Corp. common stock is traded on NASDAQ under the
symbol OVBC.
