I.                                        Purpose

 

The purpose of the Variable Compensation Plan is to make the potential to earn additional compensation available to employees who, through high levels of performance, contribute to the long-term success and profitability of ACNB Corporation and its banking subsidiary, ACNB Bank.  The Plan and its guidelines are designed to support the Bank’s organizational objectives and financial goals, as defined by the ACNB Corporation Strategic and Financial Plans, by making available additional, variable and contingent compensation, in the form of cash awards, equity awards (in the form of ACNB Corporation shares), or both.

II.                                   General Description

 

Before any Variable Compensation Award is made available under the Plan, the Bank must achieve certain financial Targets and the Participant and/or the Bank must achieve other defined objectives. The Plan sets forth goals that are intended to be consistent with those contained in the ACNB Corporation Strategic Plan and Financial Plan for ACNB Bank.

 

The calculation of the share of the awards that may be distributed to the Participants and the Targets and award formulas are constructed to align the interests of the Participants with those of the shareholders of the Company. The Targets and award formulas support a level of Variable Compensation Awards that enables the Company and the Bank to attract, retain and motivate high- quality personnel, as well as supports the continued growth and profitability of the Bank and the Company.

 

The Plan is established to augment regular salary and benefits programs already in existence. The Plan is not meant to be a substitute for salary increases, but supplemental to base salary and, as stated, a reward for performance that contributes to outstanding levels of long-term achievement.

The Board has delegated authority for the ongoing administration and interpretation of the Plan to the Compensation Committee.

VII.                          Summary of Plan Parameters

 

A.            Variable Compensation Awards

 

Awards under the Plan are contingent upon the Bank and the Participant achieving established Targets and other potentially relevant factors, as determined by the Board or Compensation Committee.

 

B.            Performance Targets

 

Targets will be established annually for several key performance factors that impact the interests of the shareholders of the Company. The Targets take into account industry peer group performance benchmarks and specific goals established for the Bank and the Participant. These factors give primary focus on the financial performance of the Bank, but also consider other important benchmarks such as those related to growth and risk management. The Board may establish different Targets for different Participants at its sole discretion.

 

C.            Variable Compensation Plan Awards

 

As noted earlier in this document, the determination of Variable Compensation Awards, and the distribution of same, is at the discretion of the Board with recommendations from the Compensation Committee. Variable Cash Awards and Variable Equity Awards may be considered when the established Bank performance Targets are met, or exceeded, and when the Board, in its sole judgment, deems that the payment of such awards are in the best interests of the Company, its subsidiaries, and its shareholders.
