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 />
