Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Change in Directors or Principal
Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, together with all documents
incorporated by reference therein, is incorporated by reference into this
Item 1.01 in its entirety.
(e) Compensatory Arrangements
On November 2, 2009, The Bryn Mawr Trust Company (the "Bank"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation (the "Corporation"), entered into each of an Agreement setting forth certain restrictive covenants ("Restrictive Covenant Agreement") and a Change-of-Control Severance Agreement (the "Severance Agreement") with Francis J. Leto. Mr. Leto is the Executive Vice President of the Bank's Wealth Management Division and a member of the board of directors of both the Corporation and the Bank.
Restrictive Covenant Agreement
Pursuant to his employment arrangement with the Bank, Mr. Leto is an at will employee. The Restrictive Covenant Agreement is intended to set forth certain covenants for non-solicitation and non-disclosure in exchange for severance payments in the event of Mr. Leto's voluntary resignation or termination without "cause," as defined therein.
Pursuant to and as more fully described in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement,
in the event the Bank terminates Mr. Leto without "cause," Mr. Leto would be
entitled to receive, as of the effective date of his termination, severance
equal to one year's salary plus a bonus equal to the average of the bonuses paid
to Mr. Leto for the two years prior thereto (collectively, the "Severance
Amount"). Additionally, in the event Mr. Leto resigns his employment upon thirty
(30) days notice, the Bank may elect to pay the Severance Amount in order to
bind Mr. Leto to the Covenants (as defined below and more fully described in the
Restrictive Covenant Agreement) for a period of twelve (12) months from the date
of termination of his employment (the "Restricted Period").
While employed by the Bank and during the Restricted Period, the Restrictive
Covenant Agreement provides that Mr. Leto will not (i) contact, solicit or
accept any business from any client of the Bank for whom the Bank has provided
investment management services within the twelve (12) months prior to the date
of termination, (ii) disclose to anyone outside the Bank or use for the benefit
of himself or others, any confidential information relating to the Bank's
business, (iii) solicit, hire or encourage any employee to leave the employment
of the Bank, nor (iv) directly or indirectly compete with the Bank by engaging
in the investment management or investment advisory business within fifty
(50) miles of Bryn Mawr, PA (the "Covenants").
Change-of-Control Severance Agreement
The Severance Agreement provides for Mr. Leto to receive certain severance payments and benefits if he is subject to a Termination upon Change of Control, as described below and more fully defined in the Severance Agreement.
Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, a Termination upon Change of Control will occur in the event that Mr. Leto is subject to, within two (2) years after a Change of Control, a Separation from Service that is either (a) initiated by the Bank for any reason other than Mr. Leto's continuous illness, injury or incapacity for a period of six consecutive months or for "cause," as defined therein, or (b) initiated by Mr. Leto following (i) a significant reduction of his authority, duties or responsibilities; (ii) any removal from his position as an officer of the Corporation, the Bank or its subsidiaries; (iii) any reduction in his Base Salary, as defined; (iv) any revocation or modification of the AIP (annual incentive plan as more fully described in the Severance Agreement) or Stock Plan, as defined therein, or any action taken pursuant to the terms of either plan, which, subject to certain limitations, materially (x) reduces Mr. Leto's compensation thereunder, or (y) increases the compensation payable to other participants but not to Mr. Leto; (v) a transfer of Mr. Leto to a location outside of Bryn Mawr, PA, the general area of Mr. Leto's principal place of business, or reasonable commuting distance; (vi) any substantial increase in Mr. Leto's business travel requirements; or (vii) the failure of the Bank to require any successor of the Bank or the Corporation to become jointly and severally obligated with the Bank to perform the Severance Agreement.
In the event of such a Termination upon Change of Control, the Bank or any
successor thereto, will be obligated to pay to Mr. Leto (i) cash equal to three
(3) times Mr. Leto's Base Salary in effect either immediately prior to the
Separation from Service or immediately prior to the Change of Control, whichever
is higher; (ii) in relation to Mr. Leto's outstanding and unexercised stock
options, whether vested or unvested, any excess amount of the aggregate fair
market value of the Corporation's shares underlying such stock options over the
aggregate exercise price of such stock options; (iii) the cash value of any
unused vacation pay; and (iv) all awards and payments earned by Mr. Leto under
the AIP, both in respect of complete plan periods any incomplete fiscal year
periods, prior to the Termination Date, as defined therein. For a period of
thirty-six months after the Termination Date, the Bank must also provide
medical, dental, life and disability insurance benefits, and payment for
reasonable career counseling services. Mr. Leto is not required to mitigate the
amount of any payment or benefit provided for in the Severance Agreement by
seeking other employment or otherwise.
The term of the Severance Agreement is initially three (3) years to be
automatically extended for additional one-year periods unless at least one
year's written notice of termination is provided to Mr. Leto by the Bank,
provided that (i) after a Change of Control during the term of the Severance
Agreement, the Severance Agreement is to remain in effect for a period of two
(2) years and until all of the obligations of the parties thereunder are
satisfied or have expired, and (ii) the Severance Agreement terminates
automatically if, prior to the Change of Control, Mr. Leto's employment with the
Bank or any of its subsidiaries terminates for any reason.
The foregoing summary of the Severance Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such document, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
