1The amounts shown above are the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table on page 44 as total compensation for Mr. Cherry, who was the principal executive officer (“PEO”) for all years presented, and the average for each year of total compensation for the NEOs other than the PEO in each year, including Messrs. Long, Crone, McKernon and Seaman for 2024; including Messrs. Long, Dillon, Crone and Seaman for 2023; and including Messrs. Long, Dillon, Crone and McKernon for years 2020-2022.
2Compensation actually paid to Mr. Cherry, and average compensation actually paid to NEOs other than Mr. Cherry,  represents total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table, with certain adjustments as described below. Compensation actually paid differs from the amount shown in the Summary Compensation Table and does not represent the total amount earned or total amount paid in any particular year. Total compensation, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, was adjusted by (1) removing the change in pension value, which represents the actuarial increase in present value of accumulated benefits in each year under the Retirement Plan established by the Bank for Messrs. Cherry, Long, Dillon and Seaman; (2) including the amount of service cost recognized by the Corporation under ASC Topic 715, which represents the actuarial present value of benefits under the Retirement Plan attributable to services rendered in each year; (3) removing the grant date fair value of stock awards granted in each year, as determined under ASC Topic 718; (4) including with respect to outstanding restricted stock awards for each year (i) the year-end fair value of any awards granted during the year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the change in fair value as of the end of the year (from the end of the prior year) of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; and (iii) for awards granted in prior years that vested in the applicable year, the change in fair value as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior year). Total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table and compensation actually paid both include the amount of dividends paid on unvested restricted stock awards.

The amounts of the adjustments described above that were added to (or deducted from) the Summary Compensation Table total for the PEO to arrive at compensation actually paid for the PEO for 2024 are shown in the table below.

3Cumulative total shareholder return is calculated assuming $100 was invested in the common stock of the Corporation or in the stock of the financial institutions included in a group of peer companies on December 31, 2019, and assumes the reinvestment of dividends.

For more information on the financial institutions included in the 2024 Incentive Compensation Peer Group, refer to page 28 and to the stock performance graph included in Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities,” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K

For more information on the financial institutions included in the 2023 Incentive Compensation Peer Group, refer to the Corporation’s 2024 proxy statement, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2024. In 2024, the Corporation updated the composition of the peer group used to evaluate the financial performance of the Corporation consistent with the manner in which the 2023 Peer Group was determined. As such, the 2024 Incentive Compensation Peer Group includes peer companies headquartered in twelve states in the Eastern and Southern U.S. Additional information can be found in Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities,” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025. For purposes of the cumulative total shareholder return reported in this table, the 2024 Peer Group and the 2023 Peer Group are weighted according to the respective financial institution’s market capitalization as of December 31, 2019.

4Adjusted ROE and adjusted ROA are financial measures that are not consistent with U.S. GAAP that are considered by the Corporation as part of its executive compensation program. Refer to Appendix A for information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. The Committee has identified a variety of performance goals and metrics used for the purpose of awarding compensation to executive officers that are consistent with the Corporation’s overall compensation philosophy and the long-term interests of its shareholders.  Among these, the Committee has identified adjusted ROE as the most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table above) used by the Corporation to link compensation actually paid to its NEOs for the year ended December 31, 2024 to company performance. Adjusted ROA, which is also used by the Corporation to evaluate performance as part of its executive compensation program, is shown in the table above as a supplemental financial performance measure.
