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

On April 9, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of New Hampshire Thrift Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Incentive Bonus Program for the year ending December 31, 2015 (the “Bonus Program”). The intended recipients under the Bonus Program are the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, First Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and First Senior Vice President and Chief Credit Officer (each, an “Executive”).

The Bonus Program provides a set of key goals based on the financial and operational performance of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2015. Upon partial or full attainment of these goals, a lump sum amount shall be paid to each Executive, based on the attained bonus percentage of each Executive’s base salary in effect as of December 31, 2015. Bonus computations are predicated on a point system whereby points will be awarded based on the attainment of certain benchmarks. A maximum total of 130 points can be earned, with a maximum of 100 points being available for bonus calculation. Computations will be made by multiplying the points earned, up to 100 points, by 10%. Bonus amounts may range from 0% of base salary to a maximum of 10% of base salary.

The description of the Bonus Program does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bonus Program, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
