The Board of Directors of ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. ("ChoiceOne") has approved ChoiceOne's 2022 Incentive Plan, in which named executive officers participate. The 2022 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of short-term annual cash awards and the grant of long-term equity awards in the form of restricted stock units, in each case in amounts based on achievement of certain historical ChoiceOne performance metrics such as asset growth, return on assets and asset quality. Time-based restricted stock units granted under the 2022 Incentive Plan vest in full upon completion of a three-year service period. Performance-based restricted stock units granted under the 2022 Incentive Plan vest in full upon satisfaction of the relevant performance metric (three-year cumulative earnings per share) at maximum (125%), target (100%) and threshold (75%) levels and completion of a three-year service period. No performance-based restricted stock units will vest below the threshold level.
Incentive targets for 2022 were established to deliver competitive pay relative to market and peer group data. The incentive targets as a percentage of salary for each of ChoiceOne's named executive officers are as follows:
Cash | Restricted Stock Units | |
Kelly J. Potes | 40% | 30% |
Michael J. Burke Jr. | 35% | 20% |
