Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
On November 10, 2014, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Citizens First Corporation (the “Company”) approved the 2014 Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which provides awards to the Company’s executive officers as designated by the Committee. Under the Plan, each participant has a specified target annual cash incentive award, defined as a percentage of base earnings, based on his or her role at the Company. The target incentive is based on competitive practices and reflects the award to be paid for meeting predefined performance goals. Each participant will have predefined performance goals and weights that will determine his or her incentive. Performance targets and ranges for each measure are set and approved by the Committee. At the end of each performance period, performance is assessed against the specific goals established at the start of the period. Payout for each goal is determined independently in arriving at the overall incentive payout. Thus, the participant may not achieve minimum performance on one goal but may still receive an award on other goals. The Committee is authorized to adjust individual awards based on the Company’s performance and such other factors as the Committee may determine.
The foregoing description of the Plan is a summary of the Plan’s key provisions and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
