Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 22, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Foothill Independent Bancorp (the “Company”) adopted a 2005 Management Performance Compensation Plan for the executive officers and other management employees of the Company or its subsidiaries (the “2005 Performance Plan”) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005 (“Fiscal 2005”). Plan participants will have the opportunity to earn incentive compensation awards based on the Company’s financial performance in Fiscal 2005. Set forth below is a summary description of the principal terms of the 2005 Performance Plan.
(1)Participants. The executive officers eligible to participate and to earn incentive compensation under the 2005 Performance Plan are: George E. Langley, President and Chief Executive Officer; Casey J. Cecela, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer; and Carol Ann Graf, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Participating Officers”). In addition, other management employees are eligible to participate in the 2005 Performance Plan. That Plan also provides for non-management employees of the Company or its subsidiaries to earn incentive compensation, based primarily on the quarterly performance of the their respective business units (principally, the Company’s branch banking offices).
(2)Performance Targets.
The 2005 Performance Plan establishes five measures or categories of Company financial performance for Fiscal 2005, each of which has been weighted based on its anticipated impact on the Company’s ability to achieve a Fiscal 2005 consolidated net earnings goal established by the Company’s Board of Directors. Those financial categories are (i) loan volume; (ii) demand deposit volume; (iii) interest-bearing deposit volumes (net of time certificates of deposits); (iv) consolidated operating profits; and (v) the ratio of loan charge-offs-to-total loans.
Baseline Performance Targets. For each of those five Company performance measures, the Compensation Committee has established a performance target that the Company must exceed (a “Baseline Performance Target”) before the executive officers can earn any incentive compensation award under the 2005 Performance Plan based on that performance measure.
Extraordinary Performance Targets. The Committee has established, for each of the five performance measures, a performance target that, if achieved by the Company, would in the Committee’s view constitute extraordinary financial performance in fiscal 2005 (each, an “Extraordinary Performance Target”) and that, if achieved, will enable each of the Company’s executive officers to earn up to a “Maximum Incentive Compensation Award” for Fiscal 2005 that has been established by the Committee.
Intermediate Performance Targets. The Committee has established, for each of the five performance measures, performance targets falling between the Baseline Performance Target and the Extraordinary Performance Target (“Intermediate Performance Targets”) that, if achieved by the Company, will entitle each of the Company’s executive officers to earn an incentive compensation award under the Plan, the amount of which will depend on the Intermediate Performance Target that the Company achieves for Fiscal 2005.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2005 Performance Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report.
