On February 17, 2009, the President signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“ARRA”), which, among other things, requires the Secretary of the Treasury to promulgate executive compensation regulations applicable to recipients of funds from the TARP Program. The regulations are required to include, among other things, a prohibition of payments to senior executives upon departure for any reason, a prohibition of bonuses except for limited bonuses payable in restricted stock, a requirement of “clawback” of bonuses based on materially inaccurate criteria, a prohibition of luxury expenditures and annual non-binding shareholder votes on senior executive compensation. The ARRA also provides that TARP recipients can repay the previously provided TARP assistance without regard to the prior requirement that any repayment before December 12, 2011 could only be funded from the proceeds of an offering of Tier 1 capital. The Company is reviewing these matters to determine what impact, if any, such regulatory developments will have on the Company’s executive compensation strategies.
The foregoing information is summary in nature. Additional information regarding the named executive officer compensation will be provided in the Company’s proxy statement to be filed in connection with the 2009 annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders.
