The annual bonus opportunities for Messrs. Baker and Jordan and Ms. Meyerrose under the MIP depended first upon the achievement of pre-determined adjusted earnings per share (EPS) growth levels for the Corporation and second upon our EPS growth performance relative to the Peer Banks, all as indicated in the following table. EPS growth was to be measured against a targeted 6% EPS growth rate over prior-year adjusted EPS of $2.79, which was expected median performance for the Peer Banks. The MIP bonus for Messrs. Baker and Jordan and Ms. Meyerrose is calculated using the two steps outlined in the table. The percentages were established with a goal of providing target bonuses for achieving growth at the median of Peer Bank growth and maximum payout for achievement at the expected level of top-performing Peer Banks. Percentages are interpolated on a straight-line basis between the performance levels shown. The adjustments in the second step are expressed as percentages of target. Positive adjustments cannot increase the indicated bonus above the maximum level of 150% of target. Low bonus amounts caused by low EPS growth outcomes are increased if relative performance is high, and high bonus amounts caused by high EPS growth outcomes are reduced if relative performance is low. From 1985 to 1995, non-employee directors and executive officers were able to defer fees, salary, and bonus under the 1985 D&E Plan. Although new deferrals have ceased, interest continues to accrue on older accounts. The 1985 D&E Plan in the past accrued interest at rates ranging from 17-22 percent annually. In 2007 that rate was reduced to 13 percent except for participants who retired before 2004 with a contractually fixed rate. For those retiring after 2004, tax rules require that whatever rate is in effect for a person at retirement cannot be changed after retirement. Certain non-employee directors and two named executive officers, Ms. Meyerrose and Mr. Glass, have old accounts under the 1985 D&E Plan and received interest accruals under it in 2007.
