Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
The Company awards PSUs to certain employees and executive officers. Under the terms of the awards, the number of units that will vest and convert to shares of common stock will be based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance metrics over a fixed three-year performance period. The number of shares issued upon vesting can range from 0% to 200% of the PSUs granted.
PSU performance factors are based on the Company’s achievement of core return on average tangible common equity over the performance period relative to a predefined peer group as well as the Company’s adjusted tangible book value over the performance period.
The following table summarizes information about the changes in PSUs as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2026:
