Item 1.01.      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

2005 Stock Option Agreement
---------------------------

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Capital City Bank 
Group, Inc. (the "Registrant") recommended and, on March 24, 2005, the Board 
approved, the 2005 Stock Option Agreement (the "2005 Agreement") for William 
G. Smith, Jr., the Registrant's Chairman, President, and CEO.  Pursuant to 
the 2005 Agreement, the Registrant agreed to award a fixed dollar Black-
Scholes equivalent value of stock options based on achieving a specified 
three-year compound growth rate in earnings per share ("EPS").  No award is 
earned if actual performance is below a 7.5% compound growth rate in EPS, the 
minimum performance level.  A maximum award of $500,000 is earned if the EPS 
compound growth rate equals or exceeds 12.5%, the maximum performance level.  
If the compound growth rate in EPS is greater than the minimum performance 
level and less than or equal to the maximum performance level, then the award 
will be made on a pro-rata basis.

No later than 60 days after the fiscal year 2005 audited earnings of the 
Registrant have been released to the general public, Mr. Smith will become 
eligible to receive the grant of the stock options under the 2005 Agreement.  
The exercise price will be set at the closing price of a share of Common 
Stock of the Registrant as reported on the NASDAQ National Market as of the 
grant date.  

Provided that Mr. Smith remains in the employ of the Registrant, any stock 
options awarded pursuant to the 2005 Agreement, will vest at a rate of one-
third (1/3) on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant 
date, unless a change of control occurs, in which case the stock options will 
immediately vest.

2004 Stock Option Agreement
---------------------------

The Registrant awarded 29,797 ten-year non-qualified stock options to Mr. 
Smith pursuant to the 2004 Stock Option Agreement (the "2004 Agreement").  
The criteria for the award under the 2004 Agreement was substantially similar 
to the criteria under the 2005 Agreement.  Provided that Mr. Smith remains in 
the employ of the Registrant, these stock options will vest at a rate of one-
third (1/3) on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant 
date, unless a change of control occurs, in which case the stock options will 
immediately vest.  The exercise price for the stock options is $40.86, which 
was 100 percent of the fair market value of a share of the Registrant's 
Common Stock on the date the options were priced.
