2017 Short Term Incentive Plan Awards
On February26, 2018, the Executive Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of MainSource Financial Group,Inc. (the “Company”) awarded incentive compensation to certain named executive officers (“NEOs”) to the Company’s Short Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”) for services performed during 2017.
to the STIP, each of the NEOs is eligible to receive cash payouts when the Company’s actual performance as compared to its annual budget and annual goals exceeds certain thresholds established annually by the Committee.
A STIP payout is available if the Company’s actual performance (“Actual Performance”) exceeds the pre-established threshold (thus, no payout occurs if the Actual Performance is equal to or below the threshold). Each NEO’s target payout is achieved if the Actual Performance equals the target level and the maximum payout is achieved if the Actual Performance equals the superior level, each of which was set by the Committee.

For Actual Performance at levels in between the threshold level and 150% of the target level, the payout percentage is interpolated. For example Actual Performance equal to 60% of the target equates to a payout of 60% of the target. Each NEO’s target payout is equal to a percentage of his or her base salary as set forth below:

The STIP includes a mandatory deferral feature, to which two-thirds of the STIP compensation is paid in the year it is awarded, and one-third is paid on the first anniversary of the initial payment, provided the employee remains employed by the Company on such date. STIP awards are also subject to claw-back to the extent required by federal laws or regulations, including those required under The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act. Because of the Company’s pending merger with First Financial Bancorp, which is anticipated to close on April1, 2018, the Committee determined not to require deferral of any portion of the 2017 awards.
Vesting of 2015 Performance Share Unit Awards
On March16, 2015, the Committee granted performance share units (the “2015 PSUs”) to certain NEOs to the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan for the three year period beginning January1, 2015 and ending December31, 2017. At the time of grant, the Committee established performance measures, goals and payout calibration for the 2015 PSUs. The payout of shares is available upon the Company exceeding the pre-established threshold (thus, no payout will occur if the Company’s performance is equal to or below the threshold). Each NEO’s target payout is available once the Company’s performance equals the target level, and the maximum payout is available once the performance equals the superior level (with interpolation between discrete points).
