All awards of time-vested restricted stock vest in three substantially equal installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the terms of the 2016 Stock Plan and the form of award certificate. PRSUs are awards of the right to receive shares of common stock based upon the Company’s achievement in respect of specified performance measures over a three year performance period, 2017-2019, as compared to the companies comprising the KBW Regional Bank Index (the “Index”).  PRSUs are awarded at target, meaning the number of shares which would vest of the Company met the target level of performance for each performance metric.  The number of shares actually earned may be higher or lower, depending upon the level of the Company’s performance in respect of each metric. The table below establishes the performance goals and payment ranges, all relative to the Index, for the 2017-2019 performance period.  A copy of the Company’s 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan, under which the awards of time vested restricted stock and PRSUs were established, is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
