Elements of Executive Compensation<br />

In general, for executive management, the Compensation Committee utilizes benchmark compensation levels of other<br />

banks of comparable asset size, growth strategy, and complexity and with similar products and markets as a guide to<br />

setting compensation for its executive officers. A significant portion of the executive officers’ compensation is weighted<br />

toward elements contingent upon the Company’s annual and long-term performance. The goals of the Compensation<br />

Committee in establishing the specific executive compensation components <strong>inc</strong>lude:<br />

•<br />

•<br />

Base salaries at the 50 th percentile of the benchmark peer group.<br />

Annual cash bonuses at the 50 th percentile of the benchmark peer group when subjective annual performance<br />

goals are achieved and between the 60 th and 75 th percentile if annual goals are exceeded. Annual cash bonuses for<br />

the CEO can range from 0% to 80% of the CEO’s base salary and from 0% to 60% of the other named executive<br />

officers’ base salaries.<br />

• Performance-based, long-term equity <strong>inc</strong>entives at the 50 th percentile of the benchmark peer group are<br />

periodically granted as <strong>inc</strong>entives to accomplish long-term strategic goals. Equity <strong>inc</strong>entives can range from 0%<br />

to 25% of the named executive officer’s base salary.<br />

Allocation of Compensation Components<br />

Under the Company’s compensation structure, the targeted allocation of base salary, cash bonus and equity<br />

compensation varies depending on the officer’s level within the organization. Below is a summary of the range of<br />

potential compensation components as a percentage of total cash and equity compensation, excluding perquisites and other<br />

employee benefits.<br />

Position Level<br />

Base Salary<br />

Cash Incentive/<br />

Bonus<br />

Equity<br />

Compensation<br />

CEO 45% - 100% up to 40% up to 15%<br />

Executive Vice President 50% - 100% up to 35% up to 15%<br />

Senior Vice President* 60% - 100% up to 30% up to 10%<br />

Vice President* 70% - 100% up to 25% up to 5%<br />

* Certain senior commercial lenders <strong>inc</strong>luded in these categories could have the potential to earn up to 100% of<br />

their base salaries in annual <strong>inc</strong>entives if certain individual performance objectives and the Company’s annual and long-term<br />

strategic performance goals are exceeded.<br />

In allocating compensation among these elements, the Compensation Committee believes that the compensation<br />

of the Company’s senior-most levels of management (<strong>inc</strong>luding the Company’s named executive officers) have the<br />

greatest ability to influence the Company’s performance. Accordingly, performance-based <strong>inc</strong>entives make up a greater<br />

portion of overall compensation for the most senior officers within the Company compared to lower levels of management<br />

who receive a greater portion of their compensation in base salary.<br />

Certain perquisites and other employee benefits are also provided to the Company’s named executive officers.<br />

Additional information regarding each element of executive compensation is provided below.<br />
