Stock-
Based Compensation
 
The Company maintains the 2016 Stock Plan (“2016 Plan”), the 2006 Stock Plan (“2006 Plan”) and the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2011 ESPP”).
 
In connection with the acquisition of
Fidelity, the Company assumed the Fidelity 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan and the 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Fidelity Plans”).
 
In connection with the acquisition of Virginia Heritage, the Company assumed the Virginia Heritage 2006 Stock Option Plan and the 2010 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Virginia Heritage Plans”).
 
No additional options may be granted under the 2006 Plan, the Fidelity Plans or the Virginia Heritage Plans.
 
The Company adopted the 2016 Plan upon approval by the shareholders at the 2016 Annual Meeting held on May 12, 2016. The 2016 Plan provides directors and selected employees of the Bank, the Company and their affiliates with the opportunity to acquire shares of stock, through awards of options, time vested restricted stock, performance-based restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. Under the 2016 Plan, 1,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance. A registration statement for such was filed June 6, 2016.
 
For awards that are service based, compensation expense is being recognized over the service (vesting) period based on fair value, which for stock option grants is computed using the Black-Scholes model, and for restricted stock awards is based on the average of the high and low stock price of the Company’s shares on the date of grant. For awards that are performance-based, compensation expense is recorded based on the probability of achievement of the goals underlying the grant.
 
In February 2016, the Company awarded 80,365 shares of time vested restricted stock to senior officers, and certain employees. The shares vest in three substantially equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
 
In February 2016 the Company awarded senior officers a targeted number of 34,957 performance vested restricted stock units (PRSU’s). PRSU’s are subject to the satisfaction of certain performance conditions based on the achievement of pre-established average targets for earnings per share growth, total shareholder return and return on average assets over or at the end of a three-year vesting period (2016-2018).
 
In March 2016, the Company awarded 24,410 shares of time vested restricted stock to directors. The shares vest in three substantially equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
 
In May 2016, the Company awarded incentive stock options to purchase 1,500 shares which have a ten-year term and vest in four equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
