(b)
The “equity award adjustments” for each applicable year include the addition or (subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year- end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that were outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (ii) change in fair value from end of prior fiscal year to end of current fiscal year for awards made in prior fiscal years that were outstanding and unvested at the end of current fiscal year; (iii) change in fair value from end of prior fiscal year to vesting date for awards made in prior fiscal years that vested during current fiscal year; (iv) for equity awards that were granted and vested in the same applicable year, the fair value of the equity awards as of the vesting date; and (v) Dividends paid on unvested shares/share units and stock options. Note that for calculation purposes unvested stock dividends are already included in the “Summary Compensation Table” under “All Other Compensation” for the applicable year (for Equity Awards granted prior to 2023). Dividends earned on unvested PRSUs and RSUs (2023 and 2024 Equity Awards) are reflected in the fiscal year-end fair value of outstanding and unvested awards. The fair value for all unvested equity awards is based on restricted stock awards with vesting periods of three and four years. The fair value for all PRSU equity awards is based on the expected vesting percentile of PRSUs for a given year which would be earned under the PRSU award.

The amounts included in this column are the amounts reported in the “Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” column of the “Summary Compensation Table” for the applicable year.
(d)
The total “pension benefit adjustments” for each applicable year include the aggregate of two components: (i) the actuarially determined pension service cost for services rendered by the CEOs during the applicable year (the “SERP service cost”) and (ii) the entire cost of benefits granted in a plan amendment (or initiation) during the applicable year that are attributed by the benefit formula to services rendered in periods prior to the plan amendment or initiation (the “SERP Prior Service Cost”), in each case, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The amounts included in this column is the SERP service cost for services rendered by Mr. Jones during 2022, 2023 and 2024.
(e)
The amounts in this column reflect the fair value of awards forfeited by Mr. Wilton when he retired from the Company on March 12, 2021. The Fair value of forfeited awards are determined at the end of the prior year for awards made in prior fiscal years that were forfeited during the current fiscal year.

The dollar amounts reported in column (i) represent the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to the NEOs as a group (excluding the CEOs) as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of SEC Regulation S-K. The names of the NEOs (excluding the CEOs) included for the purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are the same as the table noted in footnote (5) above. The dollar amounts reported do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to the NEOs as a group (excluding the CEOs) during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of SEC Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to average total compensation for the NEOs as a group (excluding the CEOs) for each year to determine the compensation actually paid, using the same methodology described above in footnote (4).

Financial Performance Measures
As described in greater detail in the section captioned “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” The Company’s executive compensation program includes variable components in the form of annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive awards. The metrics that the Company uses for both annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our CEO and NEOs (excluding the CEO) to increase shareholder value. The metrics are also correlated with the Company’s strategic plan as approved each year by the Board. Changes in shareholder value are reflected in compensation actually paid above through the fair value of the Company’s equity awards. Compensation actually paid for 2021 reflects an increase in the fair value of these equity awards as a result of an increase in the Company’s common share price from $8.87 at December 31, 2020 to $11.94 at December 31, 2021. Compensation actually paid for 2022 reflects an increase in the fair value of these equity awards as a result of an increase in the Company’s common share price from $11.94 at December 31, 2021 to $13.00 at December 31, 2022. Compensation actually paid for 2023 reflects a decrease in the fair value of these equity awards as a result of a decrease in the Company’s common share price from $13.00 at December 31, 2022 to $9.92 at December 31, 2023, partially offset by an increase in the estimated vesting percentile. Compensation actually paid for 2024 reflects a decrease in the fair value of these equity awards primarily as a result of the decrease in the estimated vesting percentile and also partially as a result of a decrease in the Company’s common share price from $9.92 at December 31, 2023 to $9.38 at December 31, 2024. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the CEO and other NEOs (excluding the CEO) for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows:

(10)
Pre-tax income has been chosen as a “Selected Performance Measure.” While the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that Pre-tax income is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in this table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance.

We do not grant stock options or similar equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information, such as a significant positive or negative earnings announcement, and do not time the public release of such information based on grant dates. Additionally, we do not grant stock options or similar equity awards during periods in which there is material nonpublic information about the Company or Bank, including (i) during our “blackout” periods or outside “trading windows” established under our Insider Trading Policy or (ii) at any time between four business days prior to or one business day following the filing of our periodic reports or a Form 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information. These restrictions do not apply to RSUs or other types of equity awards that do not include an exercise price related to the market price of our common stock.

In accordance with our policy, during the 2024 fiscal year, none of our NEOs were awarded options with an effective grant date during any period beginning four business days before the filing or furnishing of a Form 10-Q, Form 10-K, or Form 8-K that disclosed material nonpublic information (other than a Form 8-K that disclosed a material new option award grant under Item 5.02(e)), and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such reports.
