Item 5.02                      Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(e)            On February 17, 2015, the Board of Directors of Cape Bank (the “Bank”), the wholly owned subsidiary of Cape Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), reviewed and approved the 2015 Cape Bank Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which is designed to motivate and reward executive officers of the Bank to achieve specific goals that support the Bank’s strategic plan. The Plan focuses on various performance measures that are critical to the Bank's growth and profitability. Under the Plan, each executive participant has a target incentive opportunity based on competitive market practice for his/her position in the Bank, which is represented as a percentage of base salary. Actual incentive payouts, however, will vary each year based on a combination of bank-wide, department, and/or individual performance. Under the terms of the Plan, the potential bonus payout to Michael D. Devlin, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and the Company, for achievement at target, has increased from 25% of his base salary to 35% of his base salary, which would be divided as follows: 25% of the 35% will be in cash and the remaining 10% of the 35% will be in Company common stock and vest over a 5-year period.
