Macatawa Bank maintains an Incentive Plan administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The purpose of the plan is to promote the Bank’s strategies and help to accomplish its primary business objectives. Participation in the Incentive Plan is by invitation, based on officer status, salary grade and previous satisfactory performance.
Incentive Plan awards are based on achievement of success on three levels of objectives: Bank objectives, department or branch goals, and individual performance goals. Bank performance goals are determined by the President and the Compensation Committee. The particular performance measures (budgeted net income, EPS, ROA, ROE, etc.) are identified by December 15 preceding each plan year. Department or branch goals are determined by the Department Head or Branch Manager and the responsible Senior Officer, and are approved by the CEO. Individual performance goals are established by the participant’s immediate supervisor and approved by the responsible Senior Officer.
Incentive award amounts have been established for 2006 based upon a specific net income goal for the Bank.
The total size of the potential bonus pool for 2006 is $1,425,000.
The actual bonuses payable for fiscal year 2006 (if any) will vary depending on the extent to which actual performance meets, exceeds, or falls short of the approved goals.
On February 16, 2006, the Board of Directors ratified the Compensation Committee’s decision concerning 2006 compensation for directors. Non-employee directors of Macatawa Bank Corporation will receive an annual cash retainer of $17,000 and a fee of $1,000 per board meeting and $500 per committee meeting. Fees are paid on a quarterly basis.
