SCHEDULE 1

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit and Performance Unit Award Agreement (ICG Growth)

Preamble

This Agreement is between the Participant and F.N.B. and sets forth the terms and conditions of the grant of Restricted Stock Units and Performance Units to the Participant. The grant of the Restricted Stock Units and Performance Units was made by the Compensation Committee of the F.N.B. Board of Directors (the “Committee”) pursuant to the terms of the Plan, subject to this Agreement becoming effective on the Grant Date specified on the Agreement Cover Page (“Grant Date”).

The terms of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference, including the definitions of terms contained in the Plan. Any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Plan will be resolved in accordance with the Plan including, in particular, Article 2 of the Plan which, in relevant part, provides the Committee with sole discretion to construe and interpret the Plan and this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified herein, or the context indicates differently, all references in this Agreement to “F.N.B.” shall mean F.N.B. or its Affiliates.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Agreement Cover Page, Preamble, Recitals to this Agreement and accompanying Schedules are incorporated into and made part of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Participant has accepted the Award Amount of Restricted Stock Units and Performance Units and agrees to the terms and conditions stated below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, each party covenants and agrees as follows:

Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of the Award Amount is to align the Participant’s interest with that of F.N.B. stockholders by providing compensation to the Participant if F.N.B. attains an attractive financial and stock performance for F.N.B. stockholders relative to peer performance during the Vesting Period through achievement of Relative ICG Growth (Schedule 2) and Relative TSR (Schedule 3) during the relevant measurement periods.

Section 2. Award.

 

(a)

Restricted Stock Unit Award. The number of shares of the Award Amount Participant may earn will depend on F.N.B.’s performance relative to the Performance Metrics, the Calculated Amount described above and the vesting conditions described below. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, F.N.B. hereby grants to the Participant an Award of Restricted Stock Units, denominated as the Award Amount, which shall become vested in an amount (the “Calculated Amount”) determined by the ICG Growth Table value, as adjusted by application of the TSR Multiplier Table value, and, along with Dividend Equivalent units that accrue pursuant to Section 7 hereof, shall be payable in shares of F.N.B. common stock (“Stock”), subject to the vesting conditions in Sections 4 and 5 herein. The maximum number of shares of the Calculated Amount, when combined with other stock grants to the Participant in the calendar year, is expressly

 

Page 1 of 12


 

limited to the applicable limit(s) set forth in Section 2.3 of the Plan and any other applicable Plan restrictions. In the event that such limit applies to Participant, the order in which awards shall be reduced is the following: (i) Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (ROATCE Metric); (ii) Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (ICG Growth Metric); (iii) Time-Based Restricted Stock Units; and (iv) any remaining share or units awards, in each case only to the extent that such reduction is required to conform to the applicable Plan limit(s) (the number of shares equal to such reduction is referred to herein as the “Supplemental Performance Units”). These Restricted Stock Units are notional units of measurement denominated in shares of Stock (i.e., one Restricted Stock Unit is equivalent to one share of Stock). The Restricted Stock Units represent an unfunded, unsecured right to receive Stock (and Dividend Equivalent payments pursuant to Section 7 hereof) in the future if the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan are satisfied, and no breach of Section 10 occurs.

 

(b)

Performance Unit Award. The Participant may earn the cash value of any Supplemental Performance Units, subject to the limitation of Section 13.3 of the Plan, dependent on F.N.B.’s performance relative to the Performance Metrics and the Calculated Amount described above and the vesting conditions described below. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, F.N.B. hereby grants to the Participant an Award of Performance Units, equal to the dollar value of any Supplemental Performance Units, which shall become vested in an amount determined by the ICG Growth Table value, as adjusted by application of the TSR Multiplier Table value, and be payable in cash, subject to the vesting conditions in Sections 4 and 5 herein.

Section 3. Committee Action.

 

(a)

Consistent with the authority set forth in Article 2 of the Plan, in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Corporation or its financial statements, or in recognition of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, the Board, using reasonable care, shall make equitable adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made pursuant to this Agreement and available under the Plan.

 

(b)

If during the course of a Performance Period there shall occur a significant event or events (a “Significant Event”) as determined by the Committee, including, but not limited to, a reorganization of the Corporation or a Change in Control, or changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, which the Committee expects to have a substantial effect on a Performance Goal (as defined in the Plan) during such period, the Committee shall make equitable adjustments to such objective in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made pursuant to this Agreement and available under the Plan.

Section 4. Vesting. The Calculated Amount shall vest on the Vesting Date, as more fully described in Part III of the Agreement Cover Page. Furthermore, the Calculated Amount shall not vest unless the Section 4(a) and 4(b) Vesting Requirements are satisfied, or except as provided under Section 5 of this Agreement.

 

Page 2 of 12


(a)

Service Requirement. The Participant must remain continuously in Service1 with F.N.B. from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date.

 

(b)

Performance Requirement. The mean of F.N.B.’s ICG Growth for the three fiscal years comprising the ICG Growth Performance Period must be greater than or equal to the 25th percentile of the calculated mean of the individual Peer Financial Institutions’ ICG Growth for the three fiscal years of the ICG Growth Performance Period (see Schedule 2).

 

(c)

Determinations Made Between Levels. To determine the appropriate percentile ranking under both the ICG Growth Table and TSR Multiplier Table, set forth in the Agreement Cover Page, F.N.B. will use straight line interpolation, rounded to the nearest whole Restricted Stock Unit.

 

(d)

Acceptance of Award. The Participant must electronically accept the Agreement, if at all, within thirty (30) calendar days from the Grant Date, unless an extension is authorized in writing by the Director of Human Resources, otherwise this Agreement shall be null and void and the Restricted Stock Units and Performance Units shall immediately be forfeited.

Section 5. Forfeiture; Termination of Service; and Accelerated Vesting of Restricted Stock Units and Performance Units. Upon the effective date of the termination of Participant’s Service before the Vesting Date, or upon a breach of Section 10 herein, the Restricted Stock Units and Performance Units shall immediately be forfeited without consideration or future action being required of F.N.B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Stock Units and Performance Units shall be subject to accelerated and/or scheduled vesting upon the occurrence of events and subject to the terms described in the following “Accelerated / Scheduled Vesting Table”, provided that the Participant has remained continuously in Service through the Accelerated Vesting Event.

[REMAINDER OF PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK]

 

 

1 For purposes of this Agreement, “continuously in Service” means that the Participant’s employment service with F.N.B. is not interrupted or terminated, except, for the avoidance of doubt, approved leaves of absence consistent with F.N.B. policy shall not be deemed to be a break in Service. The Participant’s continuous Service shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which the Participant renders Service to F.N.B. as an employee or a change in the Affiliate entity for which the Participant renders such Service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of the Participant’s continuous Service; and provided further that if any grant is subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), this footnote shall only be given effect to the extent consistent with Section 409A of the Code.

The prohibitions against the use and disclosure of Confidential Information are in addition to all rights and remedies which are available to F.N.B. under applicable federal and state law to prevent the use or disclosure of trade secrets and other confidential information.

Should the terms of this Section 10 conflict with any other valid non-solicitation, non-disparagement, non-compete, or other restrictive covenant contained under an employment, consulting or other written agreement, the more restrictive provision(s) shall control and supersede the less restrictive provision(s). A breach of any of the foregoing restrictive covenants contemplated in this Section 10 or that supersede this Section 10 shall be treated as a breach and forfeiture under this Section 10. The invalidity of one non-solicitation agreement or restrictive covenant agreement, based on lack of adequate consideration or otherwise, shall not impact this or any other non-solicitation agreement or provision.

 

(g)

Participant acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to: (i) prohibit Participant from making reports of possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity in accordance with the provisions of and rules promulgated

Relative ICG Growth will be determined by ranking the Average F.N.B. ICG Growth and the Average Individual Peer Financial ICG Growth from highest to lowest for the ICG Growth Performance Period. After this ranking, the percentile performance of F.N.B. relative to the Peer Financial Institutions will be determined as follows:

 

Where:       

“P”represents the percentile performance which will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole percentile by application of regular rounding.

  

“N” represents the number of Peer Financial Institutions (see Schedule 4), plus F.N.B.

  

“R” represents F.N.B.’s ranking among the Peer Financial Institutions.

 

  Example:

If there are 12 Peer Financial Institutions, and F.N.B. ranked 7th, the performance would be at the 50th percentile: 0.50 = 1 – ((7-1)/(13-1)).

 

 

Internal (Tangible Equity) Capital Generation Growth” or “ICG Growth” means for each of F.N.B. and the Peer Financial Institutions:

 

 

Where:       

“TBV/common share1” represents the tangible book value per common share at the end of the fiscal year measurement period;

  

“TBV/common share0” represents the tangible book value per share at the beginning of the fiscal year measurement period;

  

“dividends declared/common share0-1” represents total amount of common dividends declared for payment from the beginning to the end of the fiscal year measurement period divided by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the fiscal year measurement period.

 

 

Tangible Book Value (TBV)/Common Share” equals each of F.N.B’s or a Peer Financial Institution’s total stockholder’s equity minus intangible assets minus preferred equity, divided by the total number of common shares outstanding.

SCHEDULE 3

CALCULATION OF RELATIVE TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN

 

 

Relative Total Shareholder Return” means F.N.B.’s TSR relative to the TSR of the Peer Financial Institutions for the TSR Performance Period. Relative Total Shareholder Return will be determined by ranking F.N.B. and each of the Peer Financial Institutions from highest to lowest according to their respective TSRs. After this ranking, the percentile performance of F.N.B. relative to the Peer Financial Institutions will be determined as follows:

 

 

Where:   

“P” represents the percentile performance which will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole percentile by application of regular rounding.

  

“N” represents the number of Peer Financial Institutions (see Schedule 4), plus F.N.B.

  

“R” represents F.N.B.’s ranking among the Peer Financial Institutions.

 

  Example:

If there are 12 Peer Financial Institutions, and F.N.B. ranked 7th, the performance would be at the 50th percentile: 0.50 = 1 – ((7-1)/(13-1)).

 

 

TSR” means, for F.N.B. and each of the Peer Financial Institutions, total shareholder return, which will be calculated by dividing (i) the Closing Average Share Value (X) minus the Opening Average Share Value (Y) by (ii) the Opening Average Share Value (Y).

 

 

Opening Average Share Value” means the average, over the trading days in the Opening Average Period, of the closing price of a company’s stock multiplied by the Accumulated Shares for each trading day during the Opening Average Period.

 

 

Opening Average Period” means the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the first day of the TSR Performance Period.

 

 

Accumulated Shares” means, for a given trading day, the sum of (i) one (1) share and (ii) a cumulative number of shares, including the accumulated value of a company’s dividends paid during the TSR Performance Period, of a company’s common stock purchased with dividends declared on a company’s common stock, assuming same day reinvestment of the dividends in the common stock of a company at the closing price on the ex-dividend date, for ex-dividend dates between the first day of the Opening Average Period and the trading day.

 

 

Closing Average Share Value” means the average, over the trading days in the Closing Average Period, of the closing price of a company’s stock (including the accumulated value of a company’s dividends paid during the TSR Performance Period) multiplied by the Accumulated Shares for each trading day during the Closing Average Period.

 

 

Closing Average Period” means the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding and including the last trading day in the TSR Performance Period.
