Pay Versus Performance Disclosure
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, we are providing the following information about the relationship between the compensation actually paid to our NEOs and certain financial performance of the Company. The compensation actually paid to our NEOs as reported in this section of the Proxy Statement does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to the NEOs, but is a calculation derived from the total compensation reported for the NEOs in the Summary Compensation Table, as adjusted pursuant to the requirements of 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act. For further information concerning the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Cumulative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. The calculation assumes $100 invested on December 31, 2020 and all dividends reinvested.

Represents the weighted peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The Company uses the KBW Regional Banking Index (KBW Index) as the peer group for determining performance with each of its compensation metrics. The KBW Index is made up of approximately 50 regional banks located throughout the country that are generally within an asset and market capitalization range comparable to the Company.

The table assumes $100 invested on December 31, 2020 and all dividends reinvested.
As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value of our enterprise for our shareholders. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows:
▪
Return on Assets
▪
Net Charge Offs
▪
Earnings per Share Growth
