Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On April 24, 2013, at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2013 Annual Meeting”) of TCF Financial Corporation (“TCF”), stockholders approved the compensation plans summarized below, which were previously approved, subject to stockholder approval, by TCF’s Board of Directors in January 2013. More detailed summaries of each of the plans and the amendments made can be found in TCF’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed to stockholders on March 7, 2013.
Amended and Restated TCF Financial Incentive Stock Program (the “Program”)
The Program authorizes grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance-based stock and performance units. The term of each award granted may not be longer than ten years from the date of grant. The aggregate number of shares of TCF’s common stock authorized for issuance under the Program is 15,986,032. The amendments to the Program were to eliminate TCF’s ability to grant non-qualified stock options with an exercise price below fair market value and to extend the term of the Program for an additional ten years, through April 24, 2023.
This summary of the Program is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Program, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Amended and Restated TCF Performance-Based Compensation Policy for Covered Executive Officers (the “Policy”)
The Policy authorizes grants of performance-based awards subject to performance goals chosen from a list of business criteria. The amendments to the Policy were to: (i) amend the definition of Covered Executives to consist of the Chief Executive Officer and the three other highest compensated executive officers, other than the Chief Financial Officer; (ii) revise and add additional business criteria for performance-based goals; and (iii) change the maximum award limits to 2.0 percent and 1.0 percent of pre-tax net income (excluding extraordinary items) as determined under generally accepted accounting principles for the Chief Executive Officer and any other Covered Executive, respectively.
This summary of the Policy is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Policy, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
