All awards of time-vested restricted stock vest in three substantially equal installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the terms of the 2006 Stock Plan and the form of award certificate. PRSUs are awards of the right to receive shares of common stock based upon the Company’s achievement in respect of specified performance measures over a three year performance period, 2016-2018, as compared to the companies comprising the KBW Regional Bank Index (the “Index”). PRSUs are awarded at target, meaning the number of shares which would vest of the Company met the target level of performance for each performance metric. The number of shares actually earned may be higher or lower, depending upon the level of the Company’s performance in respect of each metric. The table below establishes the performance goals and payment ranges, all relative to the Index, for the 2016-2018 performance period. A copy of the Company’s 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan, under which the awards of time vested restricted stock and PRSUs were established, is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.

Mr. Paul was not awarded a salary increase, but was awarded a 3% cost of living adjustment. The characterization of his award as a cost of living adjustment is intended to avoid the impact of a salary increase on the multipliers relating to Mr. Paul’s entitlement for awards or payments under his employment agreement and other bonus and equity compensation plan formulas. The salary increases for other named executive officers includes a cost of living component.
On February 18, 2015, the Compensation Committee also approved the Senior Executive Incentive Plan for 2016 performance. The SEIP is a non-equity incentive compensation plan pursuant to which participating officers may earn cash incentive awards if certain pre-determined targets, including overall Company level performance and individual performance targets are met. Awards under either Senior Executive Incentive Plan may also be paid in
stock, through awards under the Company’s stock plan, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. A redacted version of the plan, which does not disclose certain target goals and compensation levels for which confidential treatment has been requested, is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this report.
