The registrant’s proxy statement for its annual meeting of shareholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2011.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Citizens & Northern Corporation (the “Corporation”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) with respect to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2011 (the “Original Filing”). This Amendment is being filed solely to (i) include in Part III, Item 11, an amended Compensation Committee Report, which was incorporated into the Original Filing by reference to the Corporation’s proxy statement for its 2010 annual meeting of shareholders filed on March 9, 2011, and which was subsequently amended to include the certifications required of the Compensation Committee as a result of the Corporation’s participation in the United States Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (“TARP Capital Purchase Program”), which were inadvertently omitted from the Original Filing; (ii) include as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 the certifications of the Corporation’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, required of participants in the TARP Capital Purchase Program (the “TARP Certifications”); and (iii) amend the exhibit index to reflect such changes. The Corporation’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program terminated on August 4, 2010.
In accordance with Rule 12b-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), Part III, Item 11 of the Original Filing has been amended and restated in its entirety, and Part IV, Item 15 of the Original Filing has been amended and restated to include as exhibits the TARP Certifications and the new certifications required by Rule 13a-14(a) and (b) under the Exchange Act.
Except as described above, the Original Filing has not been amended, updated or otherwise modified. The Original Filing, as amended by this Amendment, continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing and does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or update or otherwise modify any related or other disclosures, including forward-looking statements. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.
PART III
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Information concerning executive compensation is incorporated herein by reference to disclosure under the captions “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” “Executive Compensation,” “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-end,” “Options Exercised and Stock Vested,” “Pension Plans,” “401(k) Savings Plan,” “Employer Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”),” and “Change in Control Agreements” of the Corporation’s proxy statement dated March 10, 2011 for the annual meeting of stockholders held on April 19, 2011, with the exception of the Compensation Committee Report, which is included below.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Compensation Committee has reviewed the compensation plans identified and described in the Corporation’s proxy statement dated March 10, 2011 under the heading “Compensation Discussion & Analysis” to ensure that such plans do not encourage senior executive officers (“SEOs”) to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the Corporation. The Compensation Committee conducted its review in connection with the Corporation’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The Corporation’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program terminated August 4, 2010. The period January 1, 2010 to August 4, 2010 is referred to in this Report as the “TARP Period.”
In our review, we found no instances of plan features that encourage excessive risk-taking, and we concluded that these compensation arrangements and the 2010 performance goals did not encourage any of the SEOs to take unnecessary and excessive risks that could threaten the value of the Corporation. In addition, when all components of executive compensation were combined, we found that base salary continued to have the greatest economic value and the least element of risk-taking compared to the other variable elements of compensation.
Base Salary: For most executive positions, base salary will ordinarily provide at least 60% - 70% of total annual compensation. Because salaries comprise such a large proportion of executive compensation, we conclude that salaries do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking by incenting executives to reach “stretch” targets of incentive compensation.
Annual Performance Incentives: The annual performance Incentive Award Plan provides participating executives with the opportunity to earn additional cash compensation, which can provide as much as approximately 40% of an executive’s total compensation when target levels of performance are achieved. The Corporation was prohibited from paying compensation to SEOs under the Incentive Award Plan for so long as it was a participant in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, and the Corporation did not pay or accrue compensation under the Incentive Award Plan for the benefit of SEOs during the TARP Period. Accordingly, we have concluded that the Incentive Award Plan did not encourage risk-taking by SEOs during the TARP Period.
As to non-SEOs who were eligible to participate in the plan notwithstanding the Corporation’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, we believe that the plan did not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking because awards under the plan are based on a number of factors as determined by the Committee for any given plan year. For example, while some factors considered by the Committee may be deemed to encourage risk-taking, for example, targets tied to earnings, other factors serve to discourage risk-taking, for example, targets tied to loan delinquencies and asset quality.
Additionally, all awards are subject to adjustment in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. For these reasons, we conclude that the Incentive Award Plan does not currently and did not during the TARP Period encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking generally which could be deemed to threaten the value of the Corporation.
Longer-term Performance Incentives: The Corporation’s 1995 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the Corporation to grant awards in the form of options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights, or restricted stock. Grants of awards under the Stock Incentive Plan are made at the discretion of the Committee to eligible employees. Prior to the Corporation’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, all grants of awards under the Stock Incentive Plan were either Incentive Stock Options or restricted stock. During the TARP Period, there were no awards of Incentive Stock Options or restricted stock, except for the award to the Chief Executive Officer described in the following paragraph.
In the first quarter 2010, the Corporation awarded 9,125 shares of restricted stock to the Chief Executive Officer under the Stock Incentive Plan. This award provided that vesting would occur upon the earliest of (i) the third anniversary of the date of grant, (ii) death or disability, or (iii) the occurrence of a change in control of the Corporation, subject, however, to the rules and regulations applicable to the vesting of long-term restricted stock issued by participants in the TARP Capital Purchase Program.
Restricted stock granted under the Stock Incentive Plan prior to 2008 vest over a three year term, subject to continued employment. Accordingly, we conclude that those restricted stock grants did not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking by recipients that threaten the value of the Corporation.
Restricted stock granted in 2008 and 2009 have both a continued employment condition as well as a performance condition. In order for shares to vest, the Corporation must attain a performance target of 100% or more of the Corporation’s Peer Group’s average return on equity (as defined by the Committee) for the four quarters ending the third quarter of each calendar year following the award date. We believe that the established return on equity targets were reasonable and did not encourage taking excessive risks to reach them.
All Incentive Stock Options previously granted under the Stock Incentive Plan provide for vesting over time regardless of the performance of the Corporation or the recipient. Accordingly, we conclude that Incentive Stock Options granted prior to the Corporation’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking by recipients that threaten the value of the Corporation.
We further believe that the value of the awards historically granted under the Stock Incentive Plan, with the exception of the 2010 restricted stock award to the Chief Executive Officer, represent an immaterial proportion of each executive’s total annual compensation, and therefore do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking by executives that threaten the value of the Corporation. With regard to the 2010 restricted stock award to the Chief Executive Officer, the award was structured to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to TARP participants; accordingly, we believe that award does not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking that threatens the value of the Corporation.
Nonqualified Benefits and Perquisites: Each of the Corporation’s SEOs participates in a supplemental retirement income plan (“SERP”). Because the amounts contributed by the Corporation under each SERP represents nonqualified deferred compensation and each participant is a general unsecured creditor of Citizens & Northern Bank with respect to the amounts contributed under his or her SERP, we believe that these factors create an incentive for a SEO to act conservatively with regard to risk-taking to ensure the continued viability of the Corporation and its primary operating subsidiary. Accordingly, we conclude that the SERPs do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking by participants that threaten the value of the Corporation.
Perquisites provided by the Corporation are immaterial when considered in light of an executive’s total annual compensation, and generally include a company-provided automobile and, in a few instances, membership dues for a golf or social club intended to facilitate business development. Because of their immaterial value and the lack of a correlation to Corporation or individual performance, we conclude that the perquisites provided do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking by executives that threaten the value of the Corporation.
Employment Contracts and Change in Control Agreements: The Corporation does not have an employment agreement with any of its executives, although each of the SEOs is a party to a change in control agreement, which provides for the payment of one year’s salary upon termination of employment following a change in control of the Corporation, as well as the continuation of health and welfare benefits. The Chief Executive Officer has a severance agreement with the Corporation, which provides that in the event he would be terminated for reasons other than for “cause,” as defined in the severance agreement, he would receive a severance benefit equal to two times his base salary as well as continued medical coverage under the Corporation’s plans for 24 months. Because the change in control and severance payments are based solely on the executive’s base salary at the time of termination, and do not include incentive compensation, we conclude that the change in control agreements and the severance agreement do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking by executives in order to increase the potential payouts thereunder.
Additionally, the Compensation Committee has reviewed each of the following employee compensation plans seeking to determine whether any elements could provide an incentive to a plan participant either to take unnecessary and excessive risks that could threaten the value of the Corporation, or to manipulate earnings to increase compensation: (i) Employee Stock Ownership Plan; (ii) Citizens & Northern Corporation Savings and Retirement Plan; and (iii) Citizens Trust Company Defined Benefit Plan.
After our review, our conclusion is that none of the aforementioned employee compensation plans contain features that encourage excessive risk-taking or encourage the manipulation of earnings to increase compensation.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan: This plan is funded exclusively through employer contributions to the plan. For 2010, the total employer contribution to the plan was equal to 4% of qualifying compensation. Because this amount is immaterial when considered in relation to employees’ total annual compensation, we conclude that the plan does not encourage excessive risk-taking or the manipulation of earnings to increase compensation.
Citizens & Northern Corporation Savings and Retirement Plan: This plan is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All employees are eligible to participate in the plan, which permits employees to contribute a percentage of their compensation to their account. The Corporation makes matching contributions equal to 100% of a participant’s before tax contributions up to 5% of compensation. Because the Corporation’s contributions are not conditioned on corporate or individual performance, we conclude that the plan does not encourage excessive risk-taking or the manipulation of earnings to increase a participant’s compensation or the Corporation’s contributions to a participant’s account.
Citizens Trust Company Defined Benefit Plan: This plan is an IRS-qualified defined benefit plan which was assumed by the Corporation upon its acquisition of Citizens Trust Company in May 2007. Certain former employees of Citizens Trust Company are participants in the plan. Effective December 31, 2002 and continuing through the date hereof, the plan was closed to new participants and benefit accruals frozen. Accordingly, we conclude that such plan does not encourage excessive risk-taking or the manipulation of earnings to increase compensation.
The Compensation Committee certifies that:
|
|
·
|
it has reviewed with senior risk officers the SEO compensation plans and has made all reasonable efforts to ensure that these plans do not encourage the SEOs to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the Corporation;
|
|
|
·
|
it has reviewed with senior risk officers the employee compensation plans and has made all reasonable efforts to limit any unnecessary risks these plans pose to the Corporation; and
|
|
|
·
|
it has reviewed the employee compensation plans to eliminate any features of these plans that would encourage the manipulation of reported earnings of the Corporation to enhance the compensation of any employee.
|
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion & Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion & Analysis be included in the Proxy Statement.
