Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon
The Board of Directors knows of no matters to come before the Annual Meeting other than the matters referred to in this Proxy Statement. However, if any other matters should properly come before the meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy intend to vote in accordance with their best judgment. No director, nominee for election as director, or executive officer of 1st Source has any special interest in any matter to be voted upon other than election to the Board of Directors. Directors, executive officers, and voting trustees have indicated that they intend to vote for all directors as listed in Proposal Number 1 and for Proposal Number 2.
Proposal Number 1: Election of Directors
The Board of Directors is divided into three (3) groups of directors whose terms expire at different times. At the 2014 Annual Meeting, four directors are to be elected for terms expiring in 2017 or until the qualification and election of a successor. Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Instructions to withhold authority will result in a nominee for director receiving fewer votes but will not count as votes "against" the nominee. Shares not voted by brokers are not considered "votes cast".
The following information is submitted for each nominee as well as each director and each non-director executive officer continuing in office.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF EACH NOMINEE.
All directors have demonstrated the ability and willingness to participate in and contribute to the Board and its committee activities. Each is actively involved in civic, community and business affairs. Such involvement is noted below with a representative sample of the boards or organizations with which they are involved.

Transactions with Related Persons
The Audit Committee of 1st Source’s Board of Directors is responsible, under the terms of that Committee’s charter, for reviewing and disclosure of related party transactions that are material to 1st Source’s consolidated financial statements or otherwise require disclosure under Item 404 of SEC Regulation S-K.
Banking Transactions — Directors and officers of 1st Source and their affiliates were customers of, and had transactions with, 1st Source and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business during 2013 and in compliance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Additional transactions are expected to take place in the ordinary course of business in the future. All outstanding loans and commitments were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to the Company and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility, or present other unfavorable features. Credit underwriting procedures followed were no less stringent than those for comparable transactions with other borrowers.
1st Source’s Loan Policy requires prior approval by a majority of the Board of Directors of any extension of credit to an executive officer, director, principal shareholder or persons related to any of the foregoing if aggregate extensions of credit to such executive officers, directors, principal shareholders or other persons exceed $500,000. The aggregate of loans to executive officers may not exceed $100,000 except for loans 1) to finance the education of the executive officer’s children, 2) to purchase, construct, maintain or improve a residence owned by the executive officer and secured by a first lien, or 3) secured by a perfected security interest in bonds, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other obligations fully guaranteed by the United States, cash or a cash-equivalent. Loans to executive officers are 1) reported to the 1st Source Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting, 2) preceded by the submission of a current, detailed financial statement, and 3) made subject to the condition that the loan will become due if the officer becomes indebted to any other financial institution or financial institutions in an aggregate amount greater than $100,000 (excluding the loans of a type noted in 1), 2) and 3) in the preceding sentence). Finally, within 10 days of the date that the aggregate indebtedness to other financial institutions exceeds $100,000 (excluding first mortgage debt, children’s educational loans and loans secured by the types of collateral described above), an executive officer must make a written report to the Board.
Other Transactions — The Company has previously reported its investment in Data Realty, LLC and investments by 1st Source Bank in Data Realty Northern Indiana, LLC (DRNI). DRNI is a managed data center and network interconnection cooperative servicing business in 1st Source Bank's headquarters region. 1st Source Bank is a customer of DRNI and the Bank’s primary operating system hardware is located in the data center owned and operated by DRNI. In 2013, 1st Source Bank paid an aggregate of $192,420 for services provided by DRNI.
Data Realty, LLC is the managing partner of DRNI. Directors Graham and Khan have respective interests in Data Realty, LLC as previously reported. Mr. Murphy is a Director of Data Realty, LLC representing the Company's interests. In 2013, the Company made an additional investment of $76,390 in Data Realty, LLC to facilitate Data Realty, LLC's acquisition of Aunalytics, Inc., a company in which Mr. Graham had an indirect interest.
Board Committees and Other Corporate Governance Matters
In January 2004, the Board of Directors adopted and has since periodically updated the 1st Source Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are designed to ensure and document the Company’s high standards for corporate governance. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are in accordance with the listing rules of NASDAQ OMX and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the Company’s website at www.1stsource.com.
Director Independence — The Board assesses each director’s independence in accordance with the Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Corporate Governance Guidelines define an independent director as one who has no relationship to the Company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out responsibilities as a director of the Company and who is otherwise “independent” under the listing rules of NASDAQ OMX. The Board has determined, after careful review, that the following eight of the thirteen current members of the Board are independent directors: Mr. Fitzpatrick, Mr. Kapson, Mr. Khan, Mr. Khilnani, Mr. Martin, Mr. Ozark, Mr. Phair and Mr. Schwabero.
Board Committees — 1st Source and 1st Source Bank share the following permanent committees made up of board members of both organizations. Executive and Governance, Nominating, Audit and Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee members are appointed annually after the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Board Leadership Structure — Under 1st Source’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Executive and Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding the Board’s leadership structure, including whether one individual should serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and the Board should have a Lead Director. The Executive and Governance Committee reviews the structure of the Board on at least an annual basis and monitors and makes recommendations to the Board on an ongoing basis on other matters concerning Board policies and corporate governance. Additionally, the Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board reviews the performance of the Chief Executive Officer on an annual basis. The Board believes it is in the best interest of 1st Source to have Mr. Murphy serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The reasons for this include:
| |
• | Mr. Murphy’s past performance in both roles and his continuing ability to serve in both; |
| |
• | The need for decisive leadership and clear accountability in facing 1st Source’s challenges and opportunities; |
| |
• | Mr. Murphy’s extensive specialized knowledge regarding those challenges and opportunities as well as his large ownership position; and |
| |
• | The fact that composition of the Board includes a majority of independent directors, providing an appropriate amount of independent board oversight. |
The incumbent chairman of the Nominating Committee, Mr. Martin, presently serves as the Lead Director under the Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Lead Director will normally chair any meetings of the Board at which the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board is not present or from which, for whatever reason, each has recused himself. The Lead Director also chairs the executive sessions of the independent directors.
Board Role in Risk Oversight — The Board exercises oversight of the risk management of 1st Source through the functions of its committees as described above. Additionally, Board members exercise oversight responsibilities by serving on the Loan and Funds Management Committee and/or the Trust and Investment Committee of 1st Source Bank.
The Loan and Funds Management Committee generally oversees credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. Its responsibilities include:
| |
• | Establishing the credit policy for the Bank; |
| |
• | Reviewing Bank lending activities, including approvals of loans to new or existing customers of total commitments in excess of stated amounts; |
| |
• | Conducting quarterly reviews of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses and loan concentrations as compared to established limits; and |
| |
• | Reviewing the Bank’s Funds Management Division in its investment activities, relationships with securities dealers, relationships with other depository institutions, administration of 1st Source’s asset/liability management and liquidity functions and other activities. |
The Trust and Investment Committee generally oversees fiduciary risks associated with 1st Source Bank's trust and investment services. Its responsibilities include:
| |
• | Exercising general supervision over the fiduciary activities of the Personal Asset Management Group and the Retirement Plan Services Division; |
| |
• | Assigning the administration of those fiduciary powers to such officers, employees and committees as the Committee deems appropriate; |
| |
• | Directing and reviewing the actions of all individuals or committees used by the Bank in the exercise of the fiduciary powers and services offered to clients; |
| |
• | Implementing and periodically evaluating appropriate policies, practices and controls to promote high quality fiduciary administration; and |
| |
• | Overseeing appropriate policies and procedures to ensure the Bank makes appropriate investments. |
Finally, the Board receives quarterly reports from the Strategic Deployment Committee, an executive-level management committee chaired by Mr. Murphy that, among other things, oversees and evaluates risks, controls and the risk management processes for 1st Source and 1st Source Bank.
Meetings of the Board of Directors and Directors’ Compensation — The Board of Directors held 5 meetings in 2013. The only incumbent director attending fewer than 75% of the aggregate total meetings of the Board of Directors and all committees of the Board of 1st Source on which he or she served was Allison N. Egidi. Ms. Egidi's absences from two of the five meetings of the Board of Directors were excused. She attended all 11 meetings in 2013 of 1st Source Bank's Loan and Funds Management Committee.
Directors receive fees in the amount of $23,000 per year, plus $1,000 per Board meeting and $1,000 per committee meeting attended ($1,500 per Audit Committee meeting attended). Committee chairpersons also receive an additional $500 per meeting attended (an additional $2,000 per Audit Committee meeting attended and an additional $1,000 per Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee meeting attended). Total fees paid in 2013 were $678,600.
Annual Meeting Attendance — Per the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, directors are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Chairman of the Board presides at the Annual Meeting, and the Board of Directors holds one of its regular meetings in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All members of the Board at the time of the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders except Rex Martin (whose absence was excused) attended that meeting.
Code of Ethical Conduct — The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethical Conduct for Financial Managers, which is available on the Company’s website at www.1stsource.com. The Code of Ethical Conduct for Financial Managers constitutes a code of ethics as defined in Section 406(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applies to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller and other individuals performing similar accounting or financial reporting functions for the Company.
Shareholder Communications — Communications to the Board of Directors from shareholders are welcomed. All written communications may be submitted through the Company's web site at www.1stsource.com, by e-mail at shareholder@1stsource.com, or by U.S. mail at 1st Source Corporation, 100 North Michigan Street, South Bend, Indiana, 46601, Attn: Chairman, Executive and Governance Committee, or Attn: Corporate Secretary. The recipient of any such communication shall share it with the Chairman of the Executive and Governance Committee who shall either (i) relay it to the full Board or an appropriate committee chairperson, or (ii) where he feels that the communication is not appropriate to relay to the Board, provide a copy of the communication and an indication of his proposed disposition to the General Counsel, or another independent director, either of whom may forward the communication to any other directors if he deems it prudent or appropriate to do so. The Chairman of the Executive and Governance Committee shall forward all recommendations for Board nominees submitted by shareholders to the members of the Nominating Committee.
Nominating Committee Information
The Board of Directors formed an independent Nominating Committee in January 2004. The charter of the Nominating Committee is available at www.1stsource.com. All members of the Nominating Committee (see “Board Committees” above) comply with the independence requirements of the NASDAQ OMX listing rules.The purpose of the Nominating Committee is to identify, evaluate, recruit and select qualified candidates for election, re-election or appointment to the Board. The Nominating Committee may use multiple sources for identifying and evaluating nominees for directors, including referrals from current directors and executive officers and recommendations by shareholders. Candidates recommended by shareholders will be evaluated in the same manner as candidates identified by any other source except that the Nominating Committee also may consider the number of shares held and the length of time the shareholder-recommended candidate has invested in the Company. In order to give the Nominating Committee adequate time to evaluate recommended director candidates, shareholder recommendations should be submitted in writing at least 120 days prior to the next Annual Meeting to be held on or before April 23, 2015. Nominations should be addressed to the attention of the Chairman, Executive and Governance Committee, c/o 1st Source Corporation.
The Nominating Committee will select new or incumbent nominees or recommend to the Board replacement nominees considering the following criteria:
| |
• | Whether the nominee is under the age of 72; |
| |
• | Qualifications, including judgment, skill, capability, conflicts of interest, business experience and technical/professional/educational background; |
| |
• | Personal qualities and characteristics, accomplishments and reputation in the business community; |
| |
• | Current knowledge and contacts in the communities or industries in which the Company does business; |
| |
• | Ability and willingness to commit adequate time, or in the case of incumbent directors, past participation and contribution, to board and committee matters; |
| |
• | The interplay of the nominee’s experience with that of the other members of the Board; |
| |
• | The extent to which a nominee would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committee of the Board; |
| |
• | If applicable, whether the nominee would be deemed “independent” under listing rules of NASDAQ OMX and Securities and Exchange Commission rules; |
| |
• | Whether the nominee is qualified and likely to remain qualified to serve under the Company’s By-laws and Corporate Governance Guidelines; |
| |
• | Diversity of viewpoints, background, experience and other demographics; and |
| |
• | Such other factors the Committee deems relevant. |
The Nominating Committee assesses its own performance, including its effectiveness in achieving a diverse Board, and reviews its charter and recommends any proposed changes every other year coincident with the bi-annual self-assessment of the full Board.
Report of the Audit Committee
The Audit Committee oversees 1st Source’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors, retains and oversees the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, approves all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm and oversees the Company’s compliance with ethics policies and the Company's management of legal, regulatory and other operational risks. The Board of Directors has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee to set forth its authority and responsibilities. All of the members of the Committee are independent as defined in the listing rules of NASDAQ OMX and Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The Board has determined that Daniel B. Fitzpatrick, Najeeb A. Khan, Vinod M. Khilnani, Timothy K. Ozark, John T. Phair and Mark D. Schwabero qualify as audit committee financial experts, as defined in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report with management. The Committee also reviewed the financial statements with 1st Source’s independent registered public accounting firm, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Committee also considered, with the independent registered public accounting firm, the firm’s judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of 1st Source’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Committee under PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16, “Communication with Audit Committees.” In addition, the Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the firm’s independence from management and 1st Source, including the matters in the written disclosures required by PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, “Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence”, and considered the compatibility of nonaudit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to 1st Source with the firm’s independence.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Compensation Discussion & Analysis
Compensation Oversight
The Executive Compensation & Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors, comprised entirely of independent directors, administers the Company’s executive compensation program. The responsibilities of the Executive Compensation & Human Resources Committee are described in its charter and include:
| |
• | Determine compensation for Named Executive Officers (NEOs) and other senior management personnel; |
| |
• | Review performance of the Chief Executive Officer; |
| |
• | Establish wage and benefit policies for the Company; |
| |
• | Review general human resources guidelines, policies and procedures; |
| |
• | Oversee the Company’s stock and benefit plans; and |
| |
• | Review incentive plans and attest that they do not encourage inappropriate risk taking. |
The Executive Compensation & Human Resources Committee determines the compensation for NEOs and other senior management personnel after reviewing market, peer and industry information and the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with regard to cash and stock incentives under the Executive Incentive Plan and other incentives for officers in the Company.
Compensation Philosophy and Program
The Company’s compensation philosophy begins with the concept that its executive officers and key employees are all in partnership with each other and with the Company’s shareholders. The Company succeeds best over the long-term when the executive officers and key employees are motivated to work together in this partnership as long-term owners themselves. The Company’s compensation programs are designed to compensate executive officers and key employees fairly and continuously reinforce a partnership of long-term owners. The programs reward results that lead to consistent high-level performance with particular emphasis on building long-term customer relationships. The Company believes that a strategic focus on building deep, long-term customer relationships is the foundation for strong, sustainable, long-term performance. Increasing such relationships over the long-term optimizes shareholder value through growth of high quality net revenues. It is also consistent with a measured approach to growth that includes necessary attention to understanding and managing the risks of the business. The Company rewards growth of customer relationships and sound risk management through compensation that is balanced between base salaries and performance-based incentive compensation. The incentive compensation is also balanced between cash bonuses and equity awards, with both linked to the Company’s overall performance on a short-term and long-term basis.
Components of Compensation and Objectives
The Executive Compensation & Human Resources Committee has approved a compensation program that includes base salaries plus incentives paid in cash and stock under the Executive Incentive Plan (EIP). NEOs and other members of senior management are eligible for incentive awards under the EIP.
The EIP is designed to reward the NEOs and other participants for balanced performance with a long-term emphasis. Annual incentive awards achieve this balance with payment of equal amounts of cash and stock. The annual cash awards provide participants with immediate recognition of strong, annual performance. Annual matching awards of book value stock provide participants with the opportunity to build and increase the value of their ownership during the course of a long career with the Company. The long-term holding requirement for those shares establishes alignment between performance of the participants and the interests of our shareholders. Periodic long-term plan awards of market value stock further reinforce such alignment by encouraging a long-term view with sound strategic planning and risk management and providing participants with an opportunity for additional ownership of the Company but with the same market risk to which shareholders of the Company are exposed.
The Company has chosen book value stock as the primary form of incentive stock because book value is the one value that members of management directly affect by their individual and collective decisions. Earnings of the Company are either added to the book value per share or paid out as dividends on all outstanding shares (including book value shares whether or not still subject to forfeiture). In this way, book value more closely reflects the real economic value of the Company and is not subject to fluctuations in the stock market that are unrelated to performance of the Company. Inappropriate risk-taking is discouraged through the five year forfeiture period of book value share awards. Inappropriate risk-taking is further discouraged through restrictions on the sale of book value shares that, with limited exceptions, require recipients to hold the shares until retirement and then sell them back to the Company at the then book value, with the purchase price payable in installments over a five year period. The limited exceptions allow executives, subject to the Committee’s approval, to sell back to the Company up to 50% of those book value shares for which the risk of forfeiture has been lapsed for seven or more years and only for the purchase of a personal residence or second home, college education tuition or financial hardship. The Company believes that equity-based compensation using book value stock under the EIP ties participants directly to the long-term, substantive economic performance of the Company and encourages them to make sound business decisions that will grow the Company carefully over time, strengthen its financial position and discourage decisions designed only for short-term personal gain. This decision-making for the long-term is reinforced as these stock awards become a significant portion of a participant’s net worth over time.
Base Salaries
Annual base salaries are designed to compensate 1st Source executives for their qualifications, responsibilities and performance. Executive salaries are administered under the 1st Source Salary Administration Program applicable to all exempt employees. Through this program, each exempt job is graded under direction of the Human Resources Department and placed in a salary range with a midpoint targeted for the 50th percentile of the market range. Management monitors and re-calibrates the job grades and salary ranges by regularly evaluating market pay for particular positions as openings occur, as jobs change or as managers raise questions about the competitiveness of the pay for certain jobs. In addition, management periodically studies the competitiveness of its salary structure (ranges and job grades) by reference to market and industry information from a variety of sources, including SNL, Towers Watson, Pearl Mayer, Crowe Horwath, the American Banker, St. Joseph County Indiana Chamber of Commerce and other publicly available sources. The Company also from time to time engages outside consultants to review its compensation programs to ensure that they are competitive and reflect market realities.
For the NEOs, the Executive Compensation & Human Resources Committee annually evaluates base salaries by reference to the same sources used for the Company’s Salary Administration Program. It also reviews the public information available on compensation paid to NEOs of peer organizations. The Committee reviews information on a number of peer groups that are recommended by management based on various criteria - asset size, concentration of commercial and industrial loans, geographic scope - nationwide, Midwest and Indiana/Michigan, profitability and customer relationship focus, respectively. The Committee uses the peer group data as a point of reference and one of several factors in setting base salaries and other components of compensation for the NEOs. If any component of compensation for the NEOs varies significantly from the median of those in our peer group, then the Committee considers the circumstances (e.g. tenure, experience, historical performance) and whether an adjustment to one or more components of compensation is warranted. Although the Company engaged an outside consultant to evaluate its base salary program during 2013, there were no compensation consultants engaged by the Committee for determining or recommending the amount or form of executive and director compensation for 2013.
Increases to base salaries are considered annually. Management evaluates market conditions and proposes a salary performance grid that provides the range of authorized merit increases for each level of performance rating in each quadrant of the applicable salary ranges. The Executive Compensation & Human Resources Committee reviews, adjusts and approves the proposed grid each year. All of the NEOs, including the Chief Executive Officer, are eligible to receive annual salary increases through the Salary Administration Program.
An exempt employee’s base salary will increase based on his or her position in the salary range and individual performance rating determined through the annual performance review process. Performance ratings are based on a scale of 1 to 5 with a 3 rating representing performance that meets expectations.
The Committee applies the salary performance grid used for all exempt employees when determining base salary increases for Mr. Murphy and the other NEOs. The Committee evaluates Mr. Murphy’s performance each year looking at, among other factors, the Company’s return on equity, its absolute earnings, and the overall performance of the Company relative to its annual budget plan and long-term strategic plan approved by the Board of Directors. His responsibilities also include representing the Company to its various constituencies, for its community engagement, and for ensuring the development of a culture of client service, long-term financial performance, teamwork, corporate integrity, and long-term success. Based on Mr. Murphy’s 2013 performance, the Committee approved a 2.2% increase in Mr. Murphy’s base salary in early 2014.
Mr. Murphy evaluates the performance of the other NEOs and makes recommendations for their annual increases to the Committee. The progression of increases in base salary for each of the NEOs is shown in the compensation table below.
Annual Incentive Awards Under the EIP
Awards under the EIP are determined annually following the close of the fiscal year. The EIP offers participants the potential for an annual cash award and a long-term stock award.
Annual Cash Awards: Each participant under the EIP is assigned a “partnership level” percentage that is the starting point for determining his or her annual cash award. Partnership level percentages range from 4.25% to 15% of the salary range midpoint or base salary of a participant. For 2013, the partnership level percentage of the NEOs was 15% for Mr. Murphy, 10% for Ms. Short and Messrs. Griffith and Qualey, and 8% for Mr. Buhr. The “base bonus” for each EIP participant is equal to the participant’s salary range midpoint or base salary as applicable multiplied by the relevant partnership share percentage.
That dollar amount is further adjusted up or down for the “Company Performance Factor.” The Company Performance Factor is 2.5 times the percentage by which actual net income for the year exceeded (or missed) budgeted net income with a maximum upward adjustment of 25%. The Committee is authorized to make adjustments to reported net income for purposes of determining the Corporate Performance Factor. Historically, the Committee has done so when, in the Committee’s judgment, the reported net income included unusual or one-time items that distorted the true substantive or normalized earnings of the Company. The Committee chose to use the Company’s reported net income of $54.958 million without adjustment to calculate the 2013 Company Performance Factor. For 2013, the Company Performance Factor was 24.4%.
For each individual, the base bonus after adjustment for the Company Performance Factor is further adjusted up or down between 0% and 300% based upon the participant’s performance against a set of corporate, group and individual performance goals established at the beginning of the fiscal year.
The corporate-level financial performance goals for each of the NEOs in 2013 included a combination of the following depending upon the NEO’s role and responsibilities:
|
| | | |
Objective | Minimum | Target | Maximum |
| | | |
Return on assets | 0.90% | 1.08% | 1.25% |
Return on common equity | 8.00% | 8.69% | 10.00% |
Expense to revenue ratio | 63.00% | 61.64% | 58.50% |
Growth in average assets | 2.00% | 3.94% | 5.50% |
Average 30-day delinquency ratio | 1.25% | 0.80% | 0.25% |
Year-end nonperforming assets | 2.00% | 1.47% | 0.50% |
Net charge offs and other credit-related losses to average loans, leases, repossessed assets and other real estate | 0.60% | 0.27% | 0.10% |
Other strategic growth metrics | 87% of Target | Target | 125% of Target |
The corporate financial performance goals assigned to each of the NEOs and the weightings of corporate, group and individual performance goals for each of the NEOs were as follows:
|
| | | | | |
Objective | Mr. Murphy | Ms. Short | Mr. Buhr | Mr. Griffith | Mr. Qualey |
Corporate Financial Performance Goals | | | | | |
Return on assets | 55% | 10% | 10% | 10% | 2% |
Return on common equity | — | 10% | — | 10% | 2% |
Expense to revenue ratio | 15% | 15% | — | 15% | 2% |
Growth in average assets | — | 10% | — | 10% | 2% |
Average 30-day delinquency ratio | — | — | 9% | — | 2% |
Year-end nonperforming assets | — | — | 4% | — | 2% |
Net charge offs and other credit-related losses to average loans, leases, repossessed assets and other real estate | 15% | — | 10% | — | 3% |
Other credit quality metrics | — | — | 27% | — | — |
Other strategic growth metrics | 15% | 5% | 5% | 5% | 5% |
Group financial performance goals | — | 30% | 5% | 25% | 80% |
Individual qualitative goals(1) | — | 20% | 30% | 25% | — |
Total weighting | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
| | | | | |
(1)See discussion below concerning qualitative goals relative to the 1998 Plan. |
In assessing performance against these performance goals, the Committee considers quantitative and qualitative factors, and ultimately uses its judgment when determining the amount and terms of individual awards. However, in the calculation of Mr. Murphy's award, his award was first calculated based upon quantitative factors in order to comply with IRS Code Section 162(m). Then the Committee has the authority to consider qualitative factors to reduce the amount of the award to Mr. Murphy. The qualitative factors the Committee considers to reduce awards include:
| |
• | The recommendations of Mr. Murphy with respect to the achievement of group and individual performance goals of the NEOs and all other participants in the EIP. |
•An analysis of competitive marketplace compensation data as described above;
| |
• | The executive's level of responsibility and ability to influence the Company’s performance; |
| |
• | The executive's level of experience, skills and knowledge; |
| |
• | The need to retain and motivate highly talented executives; |
| |
• | Corporate governance considerations related to executive compensation; and |
| |
• | The Company’s current business environment, objectives and strategy. |
For 2013, Mr. Murphy received the full amount of the award based upon quantitative factors.
The annual cash awards are paid following the Committee’s approval of the awards. For the NEOs, the Committee approved cash awards for 2013 performance as follows:
|
| |
Mr. Murphy | $274,800 |
Ms. Short | $52,850 |
Mr. Buhr | $59,100 |
Mr. Griffith | $71,350 |
Mr. Qualey | $78,200 |
These amounts are shown on the 2013 line of the “Non-Equity Incentive Compensation Plan” column of the Summary Compensation Table below.
| |
▪ | Annual Long-Term Awards: The amount of the annual cash award under the EIP is matched with an equal amount of book value stock that is subject to forfeiture ratably over a five-year period in the event the Company fails to achieve designated annual performance hurdles or the participant’s employment terminates. For 2013, the Committee chose a minimum annual net income growth requirement and a minimum annual return on assets as alternative performance hurdles for releasing the forfeiture restrictions on the awards of book value stock approved for 2013 performance. The Committee also has the authority under the EIP to evaluate whether forfeiture of book value shares is appropriate if the Company’s performance results are in the top quartile of its peer groups notwithstanding failure of the Company to achieve the performance hurdles. |
Mr. Murphy is matched with an equivalent value in book value stock subject to the same performance hurdles. As the risk of forfeiture lapses over the five year period based on achievement of performance hurdles, he is paid in cash. The Committee believes Mr. Murphy’s ownership interest in the Company is already significant and enough aligned with shareholder interests that the book value share awards under the EIP can be denominated and paid in cash as the forfeiture risk lapses.
The annual stock awards for 2013 performance were made in calendar year 2014. Thus, the 2013 stock award amounts for the NEOs will be shown in next year’s proxy on the 2014 line under the Stock Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table.
Long-Term Plan Awards Under the EIP
In addition to the annual incentive award of cash and book value stock, the EIP also offers participants an additional periodic award of cash and stock in the event the Company achieves longer-term performance goals. These performance goals are established periodically as part of the Company’s ongoing long-term strategic planning. The Company is currently following a three-year strategic planning cycle.
| |
▪ | Calculation of Amount of the Long-Term Plan Awards: The most recent 3-year performance goal period ended in 2013 with targets set in early 2011 and awards being determined and paid in early 2014. The goals for the 2011-2013 period included the following: |
|
| | | | |
| Weighting | Minimum | Target | Maximum |
| | | | |
Return on assets | 15% | 1% | 1.1% | 1.25% |
Expense to revenue ratio | 15% | 61% | 59% | 57% |
Net interest margin | 10% | 3.7% | 3.85% | 4% |
Net charge offs and other credit-related losses to average loans, leases, repossessed assets and other real estate | 15% | 0.75% | 0.5% | 0.25% |
Period-end nonperforming assets | 15% | 2% | 1.5% | 0.75% |
Other strategic growth metrics | 30% | 80% of Target | Target | 125% of Target |
The three year awards are calculated based upon a pre-determined mathematical formula that multiplies the Company’s weighted performance relative to its long-term goals by an assigned percentage and then by the participant’s average annual incentive award under the EIP over the three year period. The participant may earn from 0% to 200% of their average annual incentive awards over the three year period. For the 2011-2013 period, the assigned percentages of the NEOs for purposes of the three year long-term awards were as follows:
|
| | |
Mr. Murphy | 100 | % |
Ms. Short | 77 | % |
Mr. Buhr | 90 | % |
Mr. Griffith | 87 | % |
Mr. Qualey | 90 | % |
| |
▪ | Method of Payment of Periodic Long-Term Awards: The periodic long-term awards are paid with a combination of cash and market value stock, with more senior participants required to take a higher percentage of stock. The stock portion is subject to forfeiture over a five-year period based upon the participant remaining with the Company and the Company remaining profitable during the period. For Mr. Murphy, the split for the 2011-13 performance period was 25% cash and 75% stock. For Ms. Short, Mr. Buhr, Mr. Griffith and Mr. Qualey, the split was 30% cash, 70% stock. Cash was paid to the NEOs (and other participants) upon approval of the awards by the Committee. For Mr. Murphy, the stock portion of his award was subject to the same forfeiture term but because of his existing ownership interest in the Company, the Committee approved payment to Mr. Murphy in cash as the five-year forfeiture period lapses. For performance during 2011 through 2013, the NEOs received periodic long-term awards as follows: |
|
| | | |
| Cash | Stock | Total |
Mr. Murphy | $127,400 | $382,100 | $509,500 |
Ms. Short | 17,400 | 40,700 | 58,100 |
Mr. Buhr | 25,300 | 59,100 | 84,400 |
Mr. Griffith | 31,700 | 73,900 | 105,600 |
Mr. Qualey | 35,700 | 83,300 | 119,000 |
The cash portion of the 2011-13 awards is shown on the 2013 line of the Non-Equity Incentive Compensation Plan column of the Summary Compensation Table. The stock portion of the 2011-13 awards was approved in calendar year 2014 and will be shown in next year’s proxy on the 2014 line of the Stock Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table.
Annual Incentive Awards Under the 1998 Performance Compensation Plan
The purpose of the 1998 Performance Compensation Plan (the "1998 Plan") is to promote the interests of 1st Source and its shareholders through the attraction and retention of executive officers and other key employees, to motivate the employees using performance-related incentives linked to performance goals, and to enable the employees to share in the growth and success of 1st Source. The program is available to replace or supplement the EIP. NEOs and other members of senior management are eligible to participate. Historically, only Mr. Murphy has qualified for an award under the 1998 Plan.
For 2013, the Committee set a goal for Mr. Murphy’s award under the 1998 Plan of between .25% and 1.25% of the Company’s net income with a target award of .50% as long as a minimum net income amount was achieved. After determining whether the quantitative factor was met, the Committee may reduce the award based on the Committee’s assessment of Mr. Murphy’s progress in achieving a set of predetermined qualitative corporate goals, including:
| |
• | Execution of 2013 long-term objectives |
| |
• | Planning for the next set of long-term objectives ending in 2016 |
| |
• | Continuation of the Company’s “lean” transformation process |
| |
• | Development and implementation of 3-year plan for brand strategy. |
The Company earned net income that exceeded the minimum net income goal. Thus, Mr. Murphy earned a bonus of $252,800, or approximately 0.46% of net income, based on the Committee’s view of his progress toward the above predetermined corporate goals. The Committee chose to pay this entire bonus amount to Mr. Murphy in cash.
Additional Awards Under the 1982 Restricted Stock Award Plan
The Restricted Stock Award Plan provides for the grant of restricted shares to selected executives and other key employees of the Company as a means of inducing continued future employment and performance of such key employees. The Restricted Stock Award Plan provides that the shares shall vest over a period of time if the participant continues to serve as an employee or retires. Additionally, the Committee may set additional vesting requirements at the time of grant based on the individual participant’s performance, the Company’s financial performance or both. If the participant does not meet or exceed his or her individual performance goal(s) for a given year, all shares so restricted with respect to that year will be forfeited. If 1st Source does not meet the financial requirements by the end of the vesting period, the shares so restricted are forfeited. The Committee wishes to have the power to make periodic stock awards at its discretion in the future to maximize the usefulness of the Restricted Stock Award Plan in attracting, retaining and motivating key employees.
During early 2011, the Chief Executive Officer recommended, and the Committee agreed, that restricted stock awards should be made to executives with a leadership role in achieving its long-range goals for the period ending in 2015. The amounts of the awards were based on the executive’s level of authority. Each of the NEO’s received an award. The stock will be earned on a ratable basis subject to the executive remaining with the Company and the Company achieving specific financial goals during 2013, 2014 and 2015. The goals for 2013 were achieved and the restrictions on that year’s portion were accordingly removed. Ms. Short and Mr. Griffith received restricted stock awards in conjunction with their promotions in 2011 and 2012, respectively, to be earned over the following five years based on their remaining with the Company. Mr. Buhr received a restricted award in 2013 based on his remaining with the Company and the Company achieving specific credit goals during the next five years.
Most Recent Shareholder Advisory Vote
The Executive Compensation & Human Resources Committee carefully considered the results of the 2011 shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation. The results of the advisory vote were that 98% of votes cast approved of the executive compensation of the NEOs as described in the 2011 Proxy Statement. The votes cast separately on the Executive Incentive Plan, the 1998 Performance Compensation Plan, and the 1982 Restricted Stock Award Plan were also approved by favorable votes in excess of 75%. The results indicated shareholder support for the Company’s executive compensation decisions and policies and the Committee has continued to make its compensation decisions consistent with historical practice and existing policies.
Shareholders are given an opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the Company’s executive compensation program every three years. Such a vote is discussed in this Proxy Statement in anticipation of the annual shareholder meeting in April 2014.
Other Information
As discussed above, the senior executive officer compensation plans include both equity and cash components that link executive compensation to the Company’s overall performance on both a short-term and long-term basis, subject to forfeiture based on the executive remaining with the Company and on long-term real economic performance of the Company. As such, these plans do not encourage the senior executive officers to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the Company. Nor do they encourage the manipulation of earnings of the Company to enhance the compensation of any employee.
The Committee also identified and reviewed the Company’s five business unit incentive plans, each of which rewards measurable performance in the Company’s five major product and service segments: Business Banking, Consumer Banking, Specialty Finance, Trust and Asset Management, and Insurance. Each of these incentive plans has common features that encourage high quality, long-term relationship business and discourage unnecessary or excessive risks for short-term gain. In particular, short-term cash awards generally are capped at a specific dollar amount or a percentage of a participant’s salary midpoint or base salary. These awards generally are much less than the maximum amount after applying the respective individual performance metrics under the plans. Annual stock awards are similarly limited to a percentage of a participant’s salary midpoint and have long-term attributes. They carry substantial risks of forfeiture over a five-year period if performance hurdles that are tied to Company performance are not cleared. They are made in book value common stock transferable only to the Company upon death, disability, normal retirement, early termination of employment, or by discretionary approval of the Committee, with less favorable payout terms upon early termination of employment. The incentive plans for lenders further mitigate excessive risks by including substantial weightings or deductions for credit quality and net charge-offs. The Committee also identified and reviewed the Company’s referral programs designed to encourage internal referrals by providing small, immaterial cash incentives to eligible participants.
These features, combined with the systems of controls in place to mitigate the risks of the products and services the Company offers, limit and discourage the taking of unnecessary or excessive risks. They also discourage and mitigate the risk of manipulation of reported earnings to enhance the compensation of any employee. None of these incentive plans or referral programs, alone or in aggregate, encourages unnecessary or excessive risks or presents significant risks to the Company as a whole.
All incentive awards approved by the Committee are subject to “claw back” in the event the financial results upon which they were based are later determined to have been overstated. In such event, the awards for the period in question would be recalculated and the recipients would be responsible for repayment to the Company of the difference in the amount of the original awards and the amount of the recalculated awards.
Among the NEOs, the Company has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Murphy and Griffith and Ms. Short. The agreements provide for severance payments in the event of the executive’s termination of employment because of an adverse change in his or her status. In such event, the executive would continue to receive only his or her base salary for a period of time after his or her termination. Mr. Murphy would receive the equivalent of 36 months of base salary with the first six months payable in a lump sum. Mr. Griffith and Ms. Short would receive the equivalent of twelve months of base salary with the first six months payable in a lump sum. The Committee believes that providing severance payments to certain executives in the event the executives terminate employment because of an adverse change in status is necessary and fair given the critical nature of the roles of the executives.
The employment agreements also provide for severance payments in the event Mr. Murphy, Mr. Griffith or Ms. Short terminates his or her employment for good reason within one year of a change in control transaction. The executive would receive severance pay in cash equal to 2.99 times his or her “Annualized Includable Compensation for the Base Period” (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). The Committee reaffirmed its long-standing view that “two-trigger” change in control provision for key executives is consistent with the interests of shareholders and fair protection to the executives.
The Company has traditionally agreed to employment agreements that permit gross-up of severance payments to executives to cover possible excise taxes applicable to the executives. The Committee re-considered the appropriateness of the gross-up provision and concluded that the provision is no longer necessary for the recruitment or retention of key executives. Upon request of the Committee, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Griffith and Ms. Short each agreed to amendment of his or her employment agreement to delete the provision.
Tax Deductibility of Pay
Federal income tax law caps at $1,000,000 the deductible compensation per year for each of the named executive officers in the proxy statement, subject to certain exceptions. In developing and implementing executive compensation policies and programs, the Executive Compensation & Human Resources Committee considers whether particular payments and awards are deductible for federal income tax purposes, along with other relevant factors. The Executive Compensation & Human Resources Committee has taken what it believes to be appropriate steps to maximize the deductibility of executive compensation. It is the general intention of the Executive Compensation & Human Resources Committee to meet the requirements for deductibility whenever possible. The Executive Compensation & Human Resources Committee will continue to review and monitor the deductibility of compensation.

Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee Report
The Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section of this Proxy Statement with management. In reliance on these reviews and discussions, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section be included in this Proxy Statement.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No member of the Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee is or was formerly an officer or employee of the Company. No executive officer of the Company currently serves or in the past year has served as a member of the compensation committee or board of directors of another company of which an executive officer serves on the Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee. Nor does any executive officer of the Company serve or has in the past year served as a member of the compensation committee or another company of which an executive officer serves as a Director of the Company.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires executive officers and directors to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of 1st Source Corporation stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to furnish 1st Source with copies of all reports filed. Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to 1st Source and written representations from the executive officers and directors that no other reports were required, 1st Source believes that all filing requirements were complied with during the last fiscal year.
Proposal Number 2: Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
Background of the Proposal
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), which was enacted on July 21, 2010, contains a requirement that publicly traded firms, like the Company, permit a separate, non-binding advisory shareholder vote to approve the compensation of the Company's executive officers. The Board of Directors approved permitting this non-binding advisory shareholder vote every three years after taking into account the results of the non-binding advisory shareholder vote recommending this frequency at the 2011 Annual Meeting. In accordance with these requirements, we are providing shareholders with an advisory vote on the compensation of our executive officers at the 2014 Annual Meeting.
Executive Compensation
The Company believes that its compensation policies and procedures are focused on "pay for performance" principles and are strongly aligned with the long-term interests of shareholders. 1st Source believes that both the Company and its shareholders benefit from responsive corporate governance policies and constructive and consistent dialogue. A main objective of the Company's executive compensation program is to align a significant portion of each executive officer's total compensation with the Company's annual and long-term performance and with the interests of its shareholders. A related objective of the executive compensation program is to attract and retain experienced, highly qualified executives so as to enhance the Company's long-term success and shareholder value. The Company believes that its compensation policies and procedures achieve these objectives.
Shareholders are encouraged to carefully review the Compensation Discussion & Analysis, executive compensation tables, accompanying narrative disclosures and other compensation information in this proxy statement for a detailed discussion of the Company's executive compensation program.
As required by the Dodd-Frank Act and the guidance provided by the SEC, this proxy statement permits an advisory shareholder vote on the Company's executive compensation plans, programs and arrangements through what is commonly known as a "say on pay" proposal, which gives the Company's shareholders the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the Company's executive compensation program and policies through the following resolution:
"Resolved, that the shareholders of 1st Source Corporation approve the overall executive compensation policies and procedures employed by 1st Source Corporation and disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders."
Vote Required and Effect
Approval of the Company's executive compensation policies and procedures would require that the number of votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the number of votes cast against the proposal. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will affect whether more votes are cast "for" than "against" the proposal since neither is considered a "vote cast". Because the shareholder vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors. However, the Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee and the Board of Directors will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSAL ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
