**COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

 

**Overview**

 

The following discussion provides an overview and analysis of our Compensation Committee’s philosophy and objectives in designing compensation programs, as well as the compensation determinations and the rationale for those determinations relating to Thomas M. Petro - *Chief Executive Officer*, Jerry D. Holbrook - *Chief Operating Officer*, Roger S. Deacon - *Chief Financial Officer*, Michael S. Fitzgerald - *Chief Lending Officer* and Randall J. McGarry - *Chief Information Officer* (collectively referred to as our “named executive officers”).

 

This discussion should be read together with the compensation tables for our named executive officers located elsewhere in this Form 10-K/A.

 

**Executive Summary**

 

It is the intent of the Compensation Committee to provide our named executive officers with a total compensation package that is market competitive, promotes the achievement of our strategic objectives and is aligned with operating and other performance metrics to support long-term stockholder value.  In addition, we have structured our executive compensation program to include elements that are intended to create an appropriate balance between short- and long-term, cash and equity, bank and individual performance and formula and discretion, thereby discouraging excessive risk taking.

 

***Fiscal Year 2015 Performance***

 

In 2015, we continued to implement our commercial business strategy, improved our asset quality and completed the conversion of our operating systems to a new system, which resulted in:

 

·                                                ***Improved earnings. ***Net income was $9.5 million, or $0.85 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $8.2 million, or $0.71 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2014.  This represents a 17% increase in earnings year over year.  The results for

2015 include a one-time after-tax core data processing systems conversion-related expenses of $839,000 or $0.08 per share and after-tax merger-related expenses of $396,000 or $0.03 per share.

 

·                                                ***Increased commercial loan growth. ***Average commercial loans grew by 9.1% during 2015 and now represent 87% of the total loan portfolio.  The increase was due primarily to an increase in multi-family and commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans.

 

·                                          ***Non-performing assets***.  Total nonperforming assets decreased 18% to $5.2 million at December 31, 2015 from $6.3 million at December 31, 2014.

 

·                                          ***Data Processing System Conversion.***  In October 2015, the Company successfully completed a conversion of its core operating systems to a new provider.

 

***Compensation Actions for 2015***

 

In light of the Company’s financial performance and management’s role in accomplishing certain corporate objectives, the Compensation Committee took the following actions with respect to the compensation and benefits programs for our named executive officers:

 

·                                          The Compensation Committee approved the 2015 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 EICP”), a short-term incentive compensation program, to reward certain named executive officers for the long-term value they add to the Company through their commitment to our strategic objectives, growth in our commercial loan portfolio and maintenance of solid profit and efficiency ratios.  The incentive opportunities provided under the 2015 EICP were developed by our management team and the Compensation Committee based on the market practice of our peers.  In light of our 2015 financial performance and each individual’s contribution to our success, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Lending Officer each earned a cash incentive under the 2015 EICP.  See “*—2015 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan”* for information on Company and individual performance measures and *“Executive Compensation—Summary Compensation Table”* for the actual 2015 plan payouts. All payments made under the 2015 plan are subject to recoupment in accordance with the terms of the plan.  Our Chief Information Officer does not participate in the 2015 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan but was paid a discretionary bonus of $45,000 for 2015 performance.

 

·                                          In October 2015, the Compensation Committee reviewed the employment agreements for Messrs. Petro, Holbrook, Deacon and Fitzgerald and extended each agreement through October 1, 2018.  See *“Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements”*and “*Executive Compensation — Post-Termination Payouts*” for a description of the payments and benefits provided under the agreements.  In addition, the Compensation Committee extended the term of Mr. McGarry’s change in control agreement through October 1, 2018.   See *“Executive Compensation—Potential Post-Termination Payments”*for information on the payments and benefits provided under Mr. McGarry’s change in control agreement.  On December 8, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania (“Univest”) and the named executive officers entered into certain settlement agreements with the Company and Univest with respect to payments due in connection with the transaction.

 

·                                          In continued support of our pay for performance approach and our goal to align the interests of our executives and stockholders, the Compensation Committee awarded our named executive officers stock option grants, restricted stock awards and performance awards under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan.  *See “—Long-Term Equity-Based Incentives”*for the terms and conditions of the 2015 equity awards.  See also *“Executive Compensation—Grant of Plan-Based Awards”*for detailed information on the individual equity awards granted to our named executive officers in 2015.

·                                          In December, 2015, the Compensation Committee approved bonuses for the successful merger announcement with Univest in the amounts of $15,000, $12,500 and $10,000 to Messrs. Petro, Holbrook and Deacon.

 

All of the actions we take in regards to our compensation benefit plans and arrangements are subject to our Sound Incentive Compensation Policy, which sets forth our commitment to maintain compensation practices and procedures that do not encourage excessive risk taking.

 

***Compensation Actions of 2016***

 

In connection with the Compensation Committee’s review of each named executive officer’s job performance for 2015, the Committee considered adjustments to base salary based on the responsibility, experience contributions and performance of each named executive officer, their value in the marketplace and their role in our future success.  Based on these factors, the Committee increased base salaries for Messrs. Petro, Holbrook, Deacon, Fitzgerald and McGarry by 2.38%, 2.40%, 2.37%. 2.33% and 2.14%. respectively.  Effective March 1, 2016, the new annual base salaries for Messrs. Petro, Holbrook, Deacon, Fitzgerald and McGarry are $387,000, $256,000, $216,000, $220,000 and $191,000, respectively.  Base salaries for our named executive officers are generally commensurate with the median salaries for similarly situated executives in our peer group.

 

***Say-on-Pay Vote Results***

 

As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we held an advisory vote on the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers (the “Say-on-Pay Proposal”) at our 2015 annual meeting.  The results were that 89.8% of our stockholders who voted on the Say-on-Pay Proposal voted in favor of it.  The Compensation Committee considered this positive result as an affirmation of its compensation related policies and decisions.

 

**Our Philosophy on Executive Compensation**

 

Our goal is to drive sustainable increases in the value of Fox Chase Bancorp by profitably serving an expanding base of satisfied clients. Our competitive advantage is the caliber of our people. It is people who deliver exceptional care to our clients and align business processes to deliver what clients care about most.  Our people-driven strategy demands that we attract, develop and retain a highly competent team while aligning compensation with business results.

 

Within this context, the three major objectives for our executive compensation program are to:

 

·                  ***Alignment:*** Link executive compensation with increases in stockholder value and align stockholder and executive interests by requiring meaningful executive stock ownership levels.

 

·                  ***Motivation:*** Motivate executives to be accountable for achievement of our strategic and financial objectives.

 

·                  ***Retention and Attraction:*** Retain and attract senior executives, as well as other management personnel.

 

To achieve these objectives, we have structured compensation and benefit programs that provide our named executive officers with the following:

 

·                  ***Salary levels and merit salary increases*** that reflect position responsibilities, competitive market rates, strategic importance of the position and individual performance.

 

·                  ***Annual cash incentive (i.e., bonus) payments*** that are based on Fox Chase Bancorp’s annual financial performance as defined by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board and achievement of certain strategic non-financial performance objectives. The 2015 EICP sets forth the

performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee for the 2015 fiscal year.  See *“2015 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan.”*

 

·                  ***Long-term equity-based incentives*** that reward outstanding performance with incentives that focus our management team on creating stockholder value over the long term.  By increasing the equity holdings of our named executive officers, we provide them with a continuing stake in our long-term success.   The Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and 2011 Equity Incentive Plan provide the Compensation Committee with the tools to support the Company’s pay for performance philosophy.  See “*—Long-Term Equity Based Incentives; Timing Issues and Grant Practices.”*

 

·                  ***Benefit programs*** that provide our executives with access to health and welfare benefits. In addition, our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan and employee stock ownership plan.  Our benefit programs are designed to be competitive with our peers.

 

·                  ***Employment and change in control agreements*** that assure stability in management and provide market-based competitive change in control protection in a consolidating industry.

 

The various elements of the total compensation package for our named executive officers are designed to achieve different specific purposes, which are complementary, including: motivating appropriate behavior; rewarding different aspects of corporate or individual performance; and attracting and retaining the talent needed to successfully lead Fox Chase Bancorp and maximize stockholder value.

 

Our executive compensation philosophy is implemented through compensation programs based on the following guiding principles:

 

·                  ***Pay for Performance:*** The following key elements are ways we link pay to performance:

 

·                  Emphasis on Motivation:  Pay is used to motivate management to focus on key financial and strategic goals by providing pay for outstanding annual and long-term performance.

 

·                  Performance Management:  Performance assessment criteria for each executive are clearly communicated each year and are consistent with areas of performance identified by the Board of Directors.

 

·                  Controllability:  Financial performance measures that management has the ability to impact and influence are used in the annual incentive plan and the long-term incentive program.

 

·                  Differentiation:  Pay is managed to ensure that compensation varies to reflect different levels of performance.

 

·                  ***Performance Measures and Measurement:*** Performance measurement is a critical component of our compensation philosophy. For annual incentive payments, financial and non-financial performance measures are used to vary pay for individual executives.

 

·                  Financial Measures:  The Board of Directors establishes financial objectives through both longer-term strategic plans and annual profit plans.

 

·                  Individual Measures:  Assessment versus pre-established individual performance expectations for:

 

·                        Financial and strategic non-financial goals and objectives to drive earnings growth, value creation and execution; and

 

·                        Financial and operational controls that maintain prudent risk management practices.

 

·                        ***Competitive Framework:*** We compare our management compensation levels with the compensation paid to comparable executives for a selected peer group.

·                        ***Pay Positioning:*** The total compensation (base salary, annual incentive, long-term incentives) and benefits package for our named executive officers are positioned around median competitive levels, taking into account the relative responsibilities of our named executive officers.  Actual total compensation in any given year may be above or below the target level based on individual and corporate performance.

 

·                        ***Decision-Making Authority:*** Decision-making for our compensation program is shared among the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee, the Chief Executive Officer and the Human Resources Director. The Board of Directors approves compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and the Compensation Committee approves compensation for other senior executive officers, after reviewing recommendations provided by the Chief Executive Officer and the Human Resources Director.

 

·                        ***Communication:*** Communication of our compensation philosophy, annual and long-term incentive program design and the goal-setting process is necessary to achieve program objectives. The Compensation Committee communicates its annual incentive program through the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan and individual performance scorecards.  Long-term incentives (e.g. equity awards) are communicated to the named executive officers through plan documents and award agreements.  Full communication before and during defined performance periods:

 

·                  Allows executives to understand how their performance is evaluated and how their compensation is determined;

 

·                  Demonstrates the alignment between compensation and strategic business initiatives and creating stockholder value; and

 

·                  Ensures accountability of all executives for individual and group performance.

 

**The Role of the Compensation Committee in Determining Executive Compensation**

 

Compensation for our named executive officers is determined under programs reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee and reported to the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee approves all executive officer salary adjustments and annual and long-term incentive awards. With respect to the Chief Executive Officer’s annual performance review, the Compensation Committee recommends salary levels and annual and long-term incentive awards, which are then ratified by the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee also oversees Fox Chase Bancorp’s employee benefit plans and assesses executive performance results in determining awards under any other annual and long-term incentive plan.  Additionally, the Compensation Committee approves executive employment or severance agreements, except for the Chief Executive Officer, whose agreement is approved by the Board of Directors.  Finally, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation arrangements for the independent directors and makes recommendations to the full Board of Directors, as appropriate.

 

The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter that establishes the Compensation Committee’s responsibilities. The Compensation Committee reviews the Charter annually and reports any changes to the Board of Directors.  The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews these changes as well to ensure that the scope of the Charter is consistent with the Compensation Committee’s role. Under the Charter, the Compensation Committee is charged with general responsibility for the oversight and administration of our compensation program. The Charter also authorizes the Compensation Committee to engage consultants and other professionals without management approval to the extent deemed necessary to discharge its responsibilities.

 

**Compensation Consultants**

 

In the past, the Compensation Committee engaged *Meridian Compensation Partners LLC* to assist the committee in reviewing its executive and director compensation arrangements.  The Compensation Committee did not engage any compensation consultants for 2015.  *Meridian Compensation Partners LLC is* an independent compensation consulting firm reporting directly to the Compensation Committee.

**Role of Management**

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Human Resources Director develop recommendations regarding the appropriate mix and level of compensation for our management team and then review such recommendations with the Compensation Committee.  The recommendations consider the objectives of our compensation philosophy and the range of compensation programs authorized by the Compensation Committee.  Our Chief Executive Officer meets with the Compensation Committee to discuss the compensation recommendations for the named executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer does not participate in Compensation Committee discussions relating to the determination of his compensation.   During 2015, management assisted the Compensation Committee in the developing the 2015 EICP as a means to provide certain named executive officers with short-term incentive compensation that is consistent with market practices.

 

**Base Salaries**

 

In general, we target base salaries around the median competitive level relative to comparable positions in our peer group taking into account the comparative responsibilities, internal pay equity and performance of the executive officers involved. Where the responsibilities of executive positions at Fox Chase Bancorp are different from those typically found among other banks, or where executives are new to their responsibilities or play a particularly critical role at Fox Chase Bancorp, base salaries may be targeted above or below median competitive levels.   Merit increases for certain named executive officers effective as of March 2015 reflected market conditions and cost-of-living adjustments.  The increases in base salaries for 2015 for the named executive officers ranged between 2.16% to 2.46%.

 

**2015 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan**

 

Our 2015 EICP was designed to recognize and reward participants with cash incentives for their performance and contribution to the financial performance of Fox Chase Bancorp.  All of the named executive officers, except our Chief Information Officer, participated in the 2015 EICP.

 

The objectives of the 2015 EICP include, but are not limited to:

 

·                  Focusing executive attention on key business metrics that support our business strategy;

·                  Aligning pay with the financial performance of Fox Chase Bancorp and each participant’s individual performance;

·                  Motivating participants to achieve specific, measurable objectives that are aligned with our key business objectives; and

·                  Enabling Fox Chase Bank to attract and retain needed talent.

 

Under the 2015 EICP, each participant was given a target incentive opportunity based on competitive market practice for his role at Fox Chase Bank. The threshold, target and stretch incentive opportunities under the plan are calculated as a percentage of base salary and determined on a basis that is consistent with competitive market practices. Actual awards range from 0% of target (not achieving minimal performance) to 150% of target (for exceptional performance). Incentives for all participants are generally based on a combination of the performance of Fox Chase Bancorp and individual performance (collectively the “Performance Measures”).  Fox Chase Bancorp had to achieve at least threshold net income for any EICP performance component to pay above target levels under the 2015 EICP.  The 2015 EICP defined threshold net income as 80% of budget/plan for 2015.  Stretch was defined as 110% of budget/plan for 2015. This performance gate insures large payouts will not be made when net income is poor and is consistent with market practice. The 2015 EICP provides the Compensation Committee with discretion to adjust payouts for extraordinary items with Board approval.  No adjustments were made for the 2015 Plan Year*.*

 

Management monitored the progress of the various Performance Measures on a quarterly basis and reviewed the results with the Compensation Committee.  All payouts under the 2015 Plan are subject to the Fox Chase Bancorp clawback policy.

To focus all participants on our overall success and reinforce our team approach, the performance of all participants (except our CEO) was measured relative to two categories: Fox Chase Bancorp Financial Performance and Individual Performance.

 

The following chart shows how each participant’s incentive opportunity was weighted based on the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of their contribution to the achievement of the Fox Chase Bancorp Performance Measures and each participant’s Individual Performance Measures. The Compensation Committee had full discretion in determining the weight given to a specific individual performance measure.

***Fox Chase Bancorp Performance Measures***

 

In 2015, we looked at the following key financial measures when evaluating our performance.

 

·                  Core Net Income

·                  Earnings Per Share

·                  Core Tangible Book Value Per Share

·                  Increase in Net Interest Income

·                  Limit Increase in Core Non-Interest Expense

·                  Core ROA

·                  Core ROE

·                  Efficiency Ratio

·                  Deposit Growth

·                  Loan Growth

·                  Credit/Asset Quality

·                  BSA Compliance

 

We also considered a Long-Term Value performance measure, which is completely discretionary. The Compensation Committee looks at the following factors to evaluate this performance measure:

 

1.              Making sound and prudent financial/strategic choices about capital deployment.

2.              Hiring, developing and retaining a motivated and efficient staff.

3.              Building high quality earnings.

4.              Making good judgments about risk and pricing of products.

***Individual Performance Measures***

 

In addition to the Fox Chase Bancorp Performance Measures above, certain 2015 EICP participants had Individual Performance Measures that required contributions specific to their functional area. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determined whether a participant had achieved his individual performance measures for the 2015 fiscal year.

 

The 2015 Individual Performance Measures were as follows:

 
| **Role**                | ** ** | **Individual Performance Measures**                                                             |
|-------------------------|------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Chief Operating Officer |       | Reduce non-performing loans, improve operating   efficiencies, credit/asset quality                       |
| Chief Financial Officer |       | Maintain internal control environment, improve   operating efficiencies                                   |
| Chief Lending Officer   |       | Maintain credit/asset quality, achieve cash   management fee objectives and achieve loan production goals |

 

**Long-Term Equity-Based Incentives; Timing Issues and Grant Practices**

 

We currently maintain the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan to grant equity awards to eligible plan participants. We utilize our equity incentive plans to align the interests of our named executive officers with our stockholders and focus our executives on long-term sustained performance through the grant of annual equity awards.  The Compensation Committee determines grant dates and the stock option exercise prices after carefully considering our timing of earnings releases and/or other material non-public information to ensure that there is no manipulation of the market to the executive’s benefit. The Compensation Committee’s decisions are reviewed and ratified by the full Board of Directors. Similarly, we never time the release of material non-public information to affect the value of executive compensation. In general, the release of such information reflects established timetables for the disclosure of material non-public information such as earnings reports or, with respect to other events reportable under federal securities laws, the applicable requirements of such laws with respect to timing of disclosure.  In accordance with the equity incentive plans, options are granted at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the date of grant.

**Employment and Change in Control Agreements**

 

We currently maintain employment agreements with Messrs. Petro, Holbrook, Deacon and Fitzgerald.  In 2015, the Compensation Committee extended the terms of these agreements through October 1, 2018.  Our decision to extend the term of the agreements was based on our evaluation of each executive’s role at Fox Chase Bancorp and his overall performance during 2015.  Our employment agreements with our named executive officers assist us in attracting and retaining top talent and reflect best practices.  The employment agreements outline the terms and conditions of each executive’s employment, and provide certain financial protection in the event of a change in control.  See *“Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements”* and “*Executive Compensation — Post-Termination Payouts”* for additional information on these arrangements.

 

Fox Chase Bancorp and Fox Chase Bank maintain a change in control agreement with Randall J. McGarry to provide Mr. McGarry with a severance payment if his employment is terminated in connection with a change in control (as defined in the agreement).  During the period in which Mr. McGarry is receiving his severance benefit, he will be subject to non-compete and non-solicitation provisions that are included in the change in control agreement.  In 2015, the Compensation Committee extended Mr. McGarry’s Agreement through October 1, 2018.  See “*Executive Compensation — Post-Termination Payouts”* for information on the payments and benefits provided to Mr. McGarry under his arrangement.

 

**Executive Perquisites**

 

Fox Chase Bancorp does not provide named executive officers with perquisites.

 

**Tax and Accounting Considerations**

 

In consultation with our advisors, we evaluate the tax and accounting treatment of each of our compensation programs at the time of adoption and annually to ensure that we understand the financial impact of each program on Fox Chase Bancorp and its subsidiaries. Our analysis includes a review of recently adopted and pending changes in tax and accounting requirements.

 

**Stock Ownership Guidelines**

 

We maintain stock ownership guidelines for the named executive officers and members of our Board of Directors. The guidelines state that each non-employee member of the Board of Directors must obtain ownership levels in Fox Chase Bancorp equal to five times their annual retainer. These ownership guidelines were increased in 2015 from three to five times their annual retainer.  Our Chief Executive Officer is required to acquire stock ownership levels equal to four times his base salary. The remaining named executive officers must acquire stock ownership levels of two times their base salaries. All executive officers and directors, to which the guidelines apply, have attained their respective guideline requirements as of December 31, 2015, or are expected to within five years of joining the Company.

 

**Risk Management**

 

All of our compensation benefit plans and arrangements continue to be subject to our Sound Incentive Compensation Policy, which sets forth our commitment to maintain compensation practices and procedures that do not encourage excessive risk taking.

(1)          Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of the granting of 2,000 shares of restricted stock computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, based on a per share value of $16.99, which represented the Company’s stock price on the date of grant.  At December 31, 2015, the aggregate number of unvested restricted stock award shares held in trust was 3,320 for Mr. Caldwell, 4,000 for Mr. Ronon and 7,700 for each of the other non-employee directors.

(2)          Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value for the granting of 5,000 stock options computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, based on a value of $3.24 per option, respectively. For information on the assumptions used to compute the fair value, see note 10 to the consolidated financial statements. The actual value, if any, realized from any option will depend on the extent to which the market value of the common stock exceeds the exercise price of the option on the date the option is exercised. Accordingly, the value realized may not be at or near the value estimated above.  Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Ronon held 8,300 and 10,000 stock options at December 31, 2015.  Mr. Nichols held 33,500 stock options at December 31, 2015.  Each other non-employee director held 59,161 stock options at December 31, 2015.

(3)          Represents dividends paid on shares of restricted stock that vested during the year ended December 31, 2015.

(1)              These amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value for outstanding restricted stock awards and performance awards granted during the year indicated, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The amounts were calculated assuming that all performance conditions have been satisfied and based on Fox Chase Bancorp’s stock price as of the date of grant, which was $16.99 for the grants in 2015, $16.96 for the grants in 2014 and $17.00 for the grants in 2013.  When shares become vested and are distributed from the trust in which they are held, the recipient will also receive an amount equal to accumulated cash and stock dividends (if any) paid with respect thereto.

(2)              These amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value for outstanding stock option awards granted during the year indicated, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, based on a value of $3.24 per option for the grants in 2015, $3.66 per option for the grants in 2014 and $4.20 per option for the grants in 2013.  For information on the assumptions used to compute the fair value, see note 10 to the consolidated financial statements. The actual value, if any, realized by an executive officer from any option will depend on the extent to which the market value of the common stock exceeds the exercise price of the option on the date the option is exercised. Accordingly, the value realized by an executive officer may not be at or near the value estimated above.

(3)              Represents payments made pursuant to Fox Chase Bank’s Executive Incentive Compensation Plan. Awards earned during 2015 were paid in March 2016.

(4)              Details of the amounts reported in the “All Other Compensation” column for 2015 are provided in the table below. The table excludes perquisites, which did not exceed $10,000 in the aggregate for each named executive officer.

**Employment Agreements**

 

Fox Chase Bancorp and Fox Chase Bank maintain an employment agreement with each of Thomas M. Petro, Jerry D. Holbrook, Roger S. Deacon and Michael S. Fitzgerald. The employment agreements each have an initial term of three years and may be renewed by the Board of Directors following a review of the executive’s performance for an additional year so that the remaining term will be three years.  The Board of Directors has approved an extension of each executive’s employment agreement through October 1, 2018.  The employment agreements provide for a base salary and, among other things, participation in discretionary bonuses or other incentive compensation provided to senior management, and participation in stock benefit plans and other fringe benefits applicable to executive personnel. Upon termination of the executive’s employment for reasons other than cause or a change in control, the executive must adhere to a one year non-competition restriction.

 

**Change in Control Agreements**

 

The Bank maintains a change in control agreement with Mr. McGarry that provides certain severance benefits if his employment is terminated in connection with a change in control of the Company or the Bank.  The agreement provides for a term of 36 months.  On the anniversary date of the agreement, and following a review of Mr. McGarry’s job performance, the Board of Directors may extend the agreement for an additional year such that the term of the agreement will remain at 36 months.  The current term of the agreement runs through October 1, 2018.

See *“Summary Compensation Table”*for actual non-equity incentive plan awards earned in 2015.

(2)          Vest in five equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

(3)          Sets forth the grant date fair value of stock awards computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The grant date fair value of all stock awards is equal to the number of awards multiplied by $16.99, the closing price for Fox Chase Bancorp’s common stock on the date of grant.  With respect to the performance awards, the calculations assume that all performance conditions have been satisfied.  Also reflects the aggregate grant date fair value for stock options in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.  The amounts were based on a fair value for each option of $3.24 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

(4)          Vests as follows: 50% on the third anniversary of the date of grant and 50% on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the achievement of certain performance metrics.  If such performance metrics have not been satisfied, such award shares will be forfeited.

Fox Chase Bank maintains the Fox Chase Bank Amended and Restated Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan, which was designed to retain and attract key officers who contribute to the financial and business success of Fox Chase Bank. This plan was replaced by the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan after Fox Chase Bancorp went public in 2006. Accordingly, no further awards have been granted. All of the awards are fully vested and will be distributed upon separation from service or, if elected by an executive, upon a change in control.

 

**Potential Post-Termination Payments**

 

***Payments Made Upon Termination for Cause.***If any of the named executive officers is terminated for cause, he will receive his base salary through the date of termination and may retain the rights to any vested benefits, subject to the terms of the plan or arrangement under which those benefits are provided.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an executive is terminated for cause (as defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code) before a change in control, he will forfeit all vested and unvested benefits under the Fox Chase Bank Amended and Restated Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan.

 

***Payments Made Upon an Event of Termination.***The employment agreements for Messrs. Petro, Holbrook, Deacon and Fitzgerald define an “Event of Termination” as termination by Fox Chase Bank or Fox Chase Bancorp of an executive’s employment for reasons other than for cause or a change in control, or an executive’s voluntary resignation from Fox Chase Bank or Fox Chase Bancorp after specified circumstances set forth in the agreements that would constitute constructive termination. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, the employment agreements provide that the executive or, if he dies, his beneficiary, would be entitled to receive his base salary and health and life insurance coverage for the remaining term of this agreement. In addition, the

Table of Contents

 

executive would be entitled to receive, for the remaining term of the agreement, all benefits he would have received during the remaining term of the agreement under any retirement program (tax-qualified or non-qualified) in which the executive participated before his termination of employment.   In addition, an executive would be entitled to a distribution of his vested benefits under the Fox Chase Bank Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan.  All unvested equity awards are forfeited upon an Event of Termination.

 

***Payments Made Upon Disability.***The employment agreements provide each executive with a disability benefit equal to two-thirds of the executive’s monthly rate of base salary as of his termination date. An executive will cease to receive disability payments upon the earlier of: (1) the date the executive returns to full-time employment; (2) death; (3) attainment of age 65; or (4) expiration of the term of the agreement. In addition, during any period of an executive’s disability, the executive would continue to be covered, to the greatest extent possible, under all benefit plans in which the executive participated before his disability as if he were actively employed by us. Disability payments are reduced by any disability benefits paid to an executive under any policy or program maintained by Fox Chase Bank.

 

Under the Fox Chase Bank Amended and Restated Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan, unvested benefits will vest if an executive terminates employment due to a disability and the executive would be entitled to a lump sum distribution following his separation from service.

 

Upon an executive’s termination due to disability, outstanding stock options granted pursuant to the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan vest and remain exercisable until the earlier of one year from the date of termination of employment due to disability or the expiration of the stock options. Restricted stock awards granted under either plan also vest upon the executive’s termination of employment due to disability.

 

***Payments Made Upon Death.***Under the employment agreements, the executive’s estate is entitled to receive any salary and bonus accrued but unpaid as of the date of the executive’s death. The agreements also provide that Fox Chase Bank will continue to provide the executive’s dependents with the medical insurance benefits existing on the date of the executive’s death for a period of six months.

 

Under the Fox Chase Bank Amended and Restated Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan, unvested benefits will vest upon an executive’s death and the executive’s beneficiary will be entitled to receive a lump sum distribution under the plan.

 

Upon an executive’s death, outstanding stock options granted pursuant to the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan vest and remain exercisable until the earlier of one year from the date the executive dies or the expiration of the stock options. Restricted stock awards granted to the executives under either plan also vest upon the executive’s death.

 

***Payments Made Upon a Change in Control.***Following a change in control of Fox Chase Bank or Fox Chase Bancorp, under the terms of the employment agreements, if an executive voluntarily terminates (upon circumstances discussed in the agreement) or involuntarily terminates employment, the executive or, if the executive dies, the executive’s beneficiary, would be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to the greater of: (1) the payments and benefits due for the remaining term of the agreement, (2) three times the executive’s average base salary for the three taxable years preceding a change in control or (3) three times the executive’s base salary for the most recent taxable year (or portion of the taxable year). Fox Chase Bank would also continue to pay or provide for life, medical and dental coverage for the executive and his dependents for 36 months following his termination of employment.

 

Under the terms of the change in control agreement with Mr. McGarry, if Mr. McGarry is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than cause, or he voluntarily terminates his employment for good reason, he will be entitled to a severance benefit equal to 12 months base salary and three months continued health and life insurance coverage.

 

Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code provides that severance payments that equal or exceed three times an individual’s base amount are deemed to be “excess parachute payments” if they are contingent upon a change in control (the “Section 280G Limitation”). An individual’s base amount is equal to an average of the individual’s Form W-2 compensation for the five years preceding the year a change in control occurs (or such lesser number of years if the individual has not been employed for five years). Individuals receiving excess

Table of Contents

 

parachute payments are subject to a 20% excise tax on the amount of the payment in excess of the base amount, and the employer may not deduct the payment for federal tax purposes. The employment agreements limit payments made to the executives in connection with a change in control to amounts that will not exceed the Section 280G Limitation.

 

Upon a change in control, all unvested benefits under the Fox Chase Bank Amended and Restated Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan vest.  The plan permits participants to elect to receive a distribution upon a change in control.

 

Under the terms of our employee stock ownership plan, upon a change in control (as defined in the plan), the plan trustee will repay in full any outstanding loan. After repayment of the loan, all remaining shares of Fox Chase Bancorp common stock held in the loan suspense account, all other stock or securities, and any cash proceeds from the sale or other disposition of any shares of Fox Chase Bancorp common stock held in the loan suspense account will be allocated among the accounts of all participants in the plan who were employed on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the change in control. The allocations of shares or cash proceeds shall be credited to each eligible participant in proportion to the opening balances in their accounts as of the first day of the valuation period in which the change in control occurred. Payments under our employee stock ownership plan are not categorized as parachute payments and, therefore, do not count towards each executive’s Section 280G Limitation.

 

In the event of a change in control of Fox Chase Bancorp or Fox Chase Bank, outstanding stock options granted pursuant to the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan vest and, if the option holder is terminated other than for cause within 12 months of the change in control, will remain exercisable until the expiration date of the stock options. Restricted stock awards granted to the executives under either plan also vest upon a change in control. The value of the accelerated options and restricted stock awards count towards the executives’ Section 280G Limitations.

 

***Potential Post-Termination Benefits Tables.*** The amount of compensation payable to each named executive officer upon termination for cause, termination following an event of termination, change in control followed by termination of employment, disability, death and retirement is shown below. The amounts shown assume that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2015, and thus, include amounts earned through such time and are estimates of the amounts that would be paid out to the executives upon their termination. The amounts do not include the executives’ account balances in Fox Chase Bank’s tax-qualified retirement plans to which each executive has a non-forfeitable interest. The amounts shown relating to unvested options and restricted stock awards are based on the market value of Fox Chase Bancorp’s common stock on December 31, 2015, which was $20.29. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from Fox Chase Bancorp.

(1)          An “Event of Termination” is defined as termination by Fox Chase Bancorp or Fox Chase Bank for any reason (other than cause) or voluntary termination by the executive following: (1) the failure to re-appoint the executive to his current office; (2) a material change to the executive’s functions or duties; (3) a material reduction in benefits; (4) the liquidation or dissolution of Fox Chase Bancorp or Bank; or (5) breach of the executive’s employment agreement.

(2)          Disability payment equals two-thirds of the executive’s monthly rate of base salary as of his termination date assuming coverage is continued through the remaining term of the agreement.  A portion of the amounts due may be offset by the Company’s disability insurance coverage.

(3)          Represents the value of the employee contributions the executive would have received under these plans for the remaining term of the agreement.

(4)          Under the terms of the executive’s employment agreement, he is entitled to continued life, medical, health and dental coverage for the period in which he receives disability payments.

(9)          The amounts shown above do not reflect that if, in the event payments to executive in connection with a change in control or otherwise would result in an excise tax under the Internal Revenue Code, such payments may be reduced to the extent necessary so that the excise tax does not apply.

(1)          An “Event of Termination” is defined as termination by Fox Chase Bancorp or Fox Chase Bank for any reason (other than cause) or voluntary termination by the executive following: (1) the failure to re-appoint the executive to his current office; (2) a material change to the executive’s functions or duties; (3) a material reduction in benefits; (4) the liquidation or dissolution of Fox Chase Bancorp or Bank; or (5) breach of the executive’s employment agreement.

(2)          Disability payment equals two-thirds of the executive’s monthly rate of base salary as of his termination date assuming coverage is continued through the remaining term of the Agreement. A portion of the amounts due may be offset by the Company’s disability insurance coverage.

(3)          Represents the value of employer contributions the executive would have received under those plans for the remaining term of the agreement.

(4)          Under the terms of the executive’s employment agreement, he is entitled to continued life, medical, health and dental coverage for the period in which he receives disability payments. The amount shown reflects the value of coverage under Fox Chase Bank’s life, medical, health and dental insurance programs assuming disability payments are made through the remaining term of the Agreement.

(5)          The value of coverage under Fox Chase Bank’s life, medical, health and dental insurance programs for a period of 36 months.

(6)          Assumes options fully vest and are cashed out in connection with a change in control. An executive is not required to terminate his employment to receive this benefit.

(7)          The amount shown does not reflect the settlement agreement Mr. Deacon entered into in connection with the agreement and plan of merger with Univest which quantifies and settles the amount owed him upon a change in control whereby he will receive a lump sum at the effective date of the merger of $1,245,315.

(8)          The amounts shown above do not reflect that if, in the event payments to executive in connection with a change in control or otherwise would result in an excise tax under the Internal Revenue Code, such payments may be reduced to the extent necessary so that the excise tax does not apply.

**ITEM 13.**              **Certain Relationships, Related Transactions and Director Independence**

 

**Policies and Procedures Governing Related Persons Transactions**

 

We maintain a policy regarding related persons transactions, which is a written policy and set of procedures for the review and approval or ratification of transactions involving related persons.  Under the policy, related persons consist of directors, director nominees, executive officers, persons or entities known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of any outstanding class of voting securities of the Company, or immediate family members or certain affiliated entities of any of the foregoing persons.

 

Transactions covered by the policy consist of any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which:

 

·                                          the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $50,000 in any calendar year;

 

·                                          the Company is, will or may be expected to be a participant; and

 

·                                          any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

 

The policy excludes certain transactions, including:

 

·                                          any compensation paid to an executive officer of the Company if the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved (or recommended that the Board approve) such compensation;

 

·                                          any compensation paid to a director of the Company if the Board or an authorized committee of the Board approved such compensation; and

Table of Contents

 

·                                          any transaction with a related person involving consumer and investor financial products and services provided in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable services provided to unrelated third parties or to the Company’s employees on a broad basis (and, in the case of loans, in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002).

 

Related person transactions will be approved or ratified by the Audit Committee.  In determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Audit Committee will consider all relevant factors, including:

 

·                                          whether the terms of the proposed transaction are at least as favorable to the Company as those that might be achieved with an unaffiliated third party;

 

·                                          the size of the transaction and the amount of consideration payable to the related person;

 

·                                          the nature of the interest of the related person;

 

·                                          whether the transaction may involve a conflict of interest; and

 

·                                          whether the transaction involves the provision of goods and services to the Company that are available from unaffiliated third parties.

 

A member of the Audit Committee who has an interest in the transaction will abstain from voting on the approval of the transaction but may, if so requested by the Chair of the Audit Committee, participate in some or all of the discussion relating to the transaction.

 

**Transactions with Related Persons**

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally prohibits loans by the Company to its executive officers and directors.  However, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act contains a specific exemption from such prohibition for loans by the Bank to its executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking regulations.  Federal regulations require that all loans or extensions of credit to executive officers and directors of insured financial institutions must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.  The Bank is therefore prohibited from making any new loans or extensions of credit to executive officers and directors at different rates or terms than those offered to the general public.  Notwithstanding this rule, federal regulations permit the Bank to make loans to executive officers and directors at reduced interest rates if the loan is made under a program generally available to all other employees and does not give preference to any executive officer or director over any other employee.  The Bank does not currently have such a program in place. The outstanding loans made to our directors and executive officers, and members of their immediate families, were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the Bank, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

 

Pursuant to the Company’s Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee periodically reviews, no less frequently than quarterly, a summary of the Company’s transactions with directors and executive officers of the Company and with firms that employ directors, as well as any other related person transactions, to recommend to the disinterested members of the Board of Directors that the transactions are fair, reasonable and within Company policy and should be ratified and approved.  Also, in accordance with banking regulations and its policy, the Board of Directors reviews all loans made to a director or executive officer in an amount that, when aggregated with the amount of all other loans to such person and his or her related interests, exceed the greater of $25,000 or 5% of the Company’s capital and surplus (up to a maximum of $500,000) and such loan must be approved in advance by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors.  Additionally, pursuant to the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, all executive officers and directors of the Company must disclose any existing or potential conflicts of interest to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  Such potential conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to: (1) the Company conducting business with or competing against an organization in which a family member of an executive officer or director has an ownership or employment interest; and (2) the ownership of more than 5% of the outstanding

securities or 5% of total assets of any business entity that does business with or is in competition with the Company.

 

**Director Independence**

 

The Company’s Board of Directors consists of seven members, all of whom are independent under the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, except for Thomas M. Petro, who is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank.

(3)                  Represents on-line accounting research tools.

 

**Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services**

 

The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting the compensation and overseeing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. In accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee approves, in advance, all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. Such approval process ensures that the independent registered public accounting firm does not provide any non-audit services to Fox Chase Bancorp that are prohibited by law or regulation.

 

In addition, the Audit Committee has established a policy regarding pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. Requests for services by the independent registered public accounting firm for compliance with the auditor services policy must be specific as to the particular services to be provided. The request may be made with respect to either specific services or a type of service for predictable or recurring services. During 2015 and 2014, all services were approved, in advance, by the Audit Committee in compliance with these procedures.
