On March 6, 2015, the Board of Directors of First Business Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Annual Incentive Bonus Program (the “Program”). Prior to the Amendment, the Program provided that the Company, First Business Bank (other than its subsidiaries First Business Capital Corp. and First Business Equipment Finance and its division First Business Trust & Investments) and First Business Bank - Milwaukee would determine annual bonuses for eligible employees using three equally weighted performance measures: (1) return on assets; (2) top line revenue and (3) analyzed service charges (net of waives). Prior to the Amendment, the Program provided that First Business Capital Corp., and its division First Business Factors, would determine annual bonuses for eligible employees using three equally weighted performance measures: (1) return on assets; (2) top line revenue and (3) net income; First Business Equipment Finance would determine annual bonuses for eligible employees using two equally weighted performance measures: (1) top line revenue and (2) credit quality; and First Business Trust & Investments would determine annual bonuses for eligible employees using three equally weighted performance measures: (1) top line revenue; (2) revenue from new assets under management from existing clients and (3) revenue from new assets under management from new clients.
The Amendment changed the performance measures as follows: Performance measures going forward will be established each year for the Company and its operating entities and include revenue growth goals, operating profitability goals and/or goals related to strategic objectives, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Amendment clarified that the Company must meet or exceed one-half of the ROA threshold level before any bonus payment can be made and also clarified that any payments made under the Program will be paid annually on or about March 15th of each year with actual timing at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company.
The foregoing description of the Program does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Program, as amended, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
