Written Description of 

2020 Executive Incentive Compensation Annual Plan – 

Chief Credit Officer

 

The following is a description of the material terms of the 2020 Executive Incentive Compensation Annual Plan (the “Plan”) that was adopted by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Guaranty Federal Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) with respect to the bonus payable to Sheri Biser, the Company’s Chief Credit Officer (the "Executive"), for 2020:

 

The Plan will pay a maximum of $99,395 of which one hundred-percent (100%) of the bonus amount will be paid in cash. There are three possible levels of incentive awards: threshold (25%); target (50%); and maximum (100%). For any bonus amount to be paid, the threshold level of performance must be achieved. The bonus amount will be prorated for performance achievements between the threshold and target levels and between the target and maximum levels. The three performance measurements of the Company (and the weight given to each measurement) applicable to each award level are as follows: (i) Return on Average Assets (50%), (ii) Net Interest Margin (25%) and (iii) Efficiency Ratio (25%). The following minimum criteria must all be satisfied before an award is paid under the Plan: (i) Net income of the Company for calendar year 2020 of at least 75% of approved budget to receive full performance incentive and incentive will be reduced by 50% if Company achieves between 50% and 74.99% of budget net income; No incentive will be paid if net income is below 50% of budget; (ii) Non-Performing Assets to Average Total Assets ratio of 1.50% or less at 12/31/20. If the Bank fails this measure, the Board may reduce the earned incentive at the recommendation of the Committee; (iii) Satisfactory audits as determined by the Board after review of findings from regulatory examination reports and applicable audits and reviews; (iv) The Company and Guaranty Bank must maintain capital ratios to meet regulatory “well capitalized” status; and (v) Satisfactory performance appraisal, actively employed by Guaranty Bank, and in good standing at the time the bonus is paid, which will not be prior to the public release of earnings in 2021 for the calendar year 2020.

 

If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment other than for cause (as defined in Executive’s employment agreement) before the end of the performance year, then the Executive will be eligible for a prorated incentive payment (at target level) except for a change in control of the Company. If the Executive’s employment ends within twelve months following a change in control of the Company, then the Executive will be eligible for an incentive amount computed in accordance with the Executive’s employment agreement.

 

The Board may adjust the incentive based on achievement of the above measurements and other pertinent factors including, but not limited to, executive’s contribution to the bank’s goals and objective, attitude, teamwork, initiative, interpersonal relationships and adherence to policies. The Board will also consider the executive’s overall compensation relevant to peer group.

 

The Board retains the right to make the final determination of the incentive payment and amount, if any, and may consider other pertinent facts prior to making an award. All incentive payments shall be subject to the Company’s Compensation Clawback Policy.ex_178857.htm

One hundred-percent (100%) of the incentive amount will be paid in restricted stock units (the “Units”), representing the right to earn, on a one-for-one basis, shares of the Company’s common stock. The Agreement will pay a maximum of 16,386 shares of which there are three possible levels of incentive awards: threshold (25%); target (50%); and maximum (100%). For any bonus amount to be paid, the threshold level of performance must be achieved.

No later than March 15th following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the Company’s achievement of the performance goals and shall certify such results in writing. Upon such certification, the Units shall become vested on such date (the “Vesting Date”) to the extent the performance goals are attained. Vested Units will be converted to shares of common stock on the Vesting Date (the “Conversion Date”). Any Units that fail to vest in accordance with the terms of the Agreement will be forfeited to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by the Grantee.

 

If the Grantee’s employment with the Company ends prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee’s Units shall be forfeited in their entirety, except as follows:

 

(i)       Death or Disability. If Grantee’s employment ends by reason of death or disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Vesting Date, then all relevant performance goals will be deemed to have been achieved at the “Target” level and the Units will be converted to shares of common stock as of such death or disability.

(ii)      Change in Control. If there is a Change in Control prior to the Vesting Date, all relevant performance goals will be measured based on actual performance through the date of the Change in Control and will be converted to shares of common stock as of such Change in Control.

(iii)     Retirement. If Grantee retires from employment on or after age 65 (or on or after age 55 with twenty or more years of service) prior to the Vesting Date but at least one year into the Performance Period, the Units shall be prorated by a factor equal to the quotient of each full month of service from the Grant Date to the date of such Retirement, divided by the number of total months in the Performance Period, and such prorated Units shall become vested on the Vesting Date and converted to shares of common stock on the Conversion Date to the extent the performance goals are attained for the applicable Performance Period.

 

Grantee shall not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Units. Dividends or dividend equivalents will not be paid with respect to the Units. Upon conversion of the Units into shares of common stock, Grantee will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company.ex_178858.htm
