Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On April 18, 2006, the shareholders of Summit Bancshares, Inc. (the Corporation) approved the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan of the Corporation (the 2006 Plan). The 2006 Plan replaced the 1997 Incentive Stock Option Plan of the Corporation (the 1997 Plan). The following brief description of the terms and conditions of the 2006 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2006 Plan, which is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference from Exhibit 1 to the Corporations Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2006.
The 2006 Plan is intended to enable the Corporation to remain competitive and innovative in its ability to attract, motivate, reward and retain the services of key employees. The 2006 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, and other awards which may be paid in cash or stock. The 2006 Plan is expected to provide flexibility to the Corporations compensation methods in order to adapt the compensation of key employees to a changing business environment, after giving due consideration to competitive conditions and the impact of federal tax laws.
Subject to certain adjustments, the number of the Corporations shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2006 Plan is 1,250,000 shares, less the total number of shares of common stock issued pursuant to the 2006 Plan after the effective date of the 2006 Plan or issuable upon the exercise of awards granted under the 1997 Plan. As of April 18, 2006, there were 588,704 shares issuable upon the exercise of awards granted under the 1997 Plan, which means that, as of April 18, 2006, there were 661,296 shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2006 Plan. Shares are counted only to the extent they are actually issued. If shares are issued and reacquired by the Corporation under the 2006 Plan or the 1997 Plan, such shares would be available for issuance under the 2006 Plan. Shares tendered in payment of the purchase price of an award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations, or shares covered by an award that is settled in cash, would be available for awards under the 2006 Plan.
The Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the Compensation Committee) has been designated by the Board of Directors to administer the 2006 Plan. The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, has authority to (i) interpret the 2006 Plan, (ii) prescribe, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations necessary or appropriate for the administration of the 2006 Plan, (iii) establish performance goals for an award pursuant to the 2006 Plan and certify the extent of a participants achievement, and (iv) make such other determinations or certifications and take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable in the administration of the 2006 Plan. The Compensation Committee may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and other forms of awards pursuant to the 2006 Plan. A copy of each of the Form of Incentive Stock Option Agreement, the Form of Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement, and the Form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement is furnished as, and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference from, Exhibits 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, respectively, to this Form 8-K.
Item 1.02 |
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On March 17, 2006, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors approved the termination of the 1997 Plan, effective upon the date of shareholder approval of the 2006 Plan. The shareholders of the Corporation approved the 2006 Plan on April 18, 2006. No additional awards can be granted pursuant to the 1997 Plan. See Item 1.01 of this report. The information in Item 1.01 of this report is incorporated in this Item 1.02 by reference.
