Form 8-K for PROVIDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES INC


5-Feb-2013

Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Financial Statements


Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

(d) Election of Director. On January 31, 2013, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Provident Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company"), pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company, increased the size of the Board from eleven to twelve members and appointed Matthew K. Harding to the Board. Mr. Harding has also been appointed to the Board of Directors of The Provident Bank, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary. The Company issued a news release on February 5, 2013 to announce the appointment of Mr. Harding to the Board. The full text of the news release is attached as an Exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(e) 2013 Cash Incentive Compensation Plan. On January 31, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors, on the recommendation of its Compensation Committee, approved an annual performance-based incentive plan for the payment of incentive cash compensation to certain officers and employees of The Provident Bank, the Company's wholly owned savings bank subsidiary (the "Plan"), including senior executive officers. The Plan provides for cash incentive payments based primarily on the Company's 2013 financial performance compared with certain targets (the "Corporate Targets"). Incentive Payments based on the Company's 2013 financial performance may be made if the Company meets or exceeds 95% of any of the Corporate Targets ("Threshold").

For senior executive officers (including the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer), 100% of the incentive payment that may be made under the Plan will be based on the Company's 2013 performance using the following Corporate Targets that relate to the Company's business plan and strategic objectives: (i) earnings per share (weighted 25%);
(ii) net income (weighted 25%); (iii) efficiency ratio (weighted 25%); and (iv) return on average assets (weighted 25%).

For other officers and employees eligible to participate in the Plan, a portion of the incentive payment that may be made under the Plan will be based on the Company's 2013 performance using the same Corporate Targets. A portion of the incentive payment will also be based on individual performance against personal goals and objectives, and may be paid whether or not Corporate Targets have been met.

Incentive payments will be a percentage of the employee's base salary. Using estimated 2013 base salary levels and the current number of employees that could participate in the Plan (475 persons), the total cash incentive payments that may be made for 2013 would range from approximately $3.9 million at the Threshold level up to $13.0 million at the Maximum level.
