INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
ITEM 5.02.   DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
     On March 17, 2010, the Corporation’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) approved the award of performance-based awards to the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers named in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in the Corporation’s proxy statement for its Annual Meeting of Shareholders held in 2009 (the Named Executive Officers) in the following amounts:
         
    Number of Restricted
Named Executive Officer   Stock Units Awarded
Stephen J. Gurgovits
    50,393  
Vincent J. Calabrese
    10,740  
Brian F. Lilly
    19,001  
Vincent J. Delie, Jr.
    19,001  
Louise C. Lowrey
    10,740  
     These awards are made pursuant to the stockholder approved 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan (the Plan), a copy of which is on file with the SEC as Annex “A” to the Corporation’s 2007 proxy statement.
     The Committee’s determination of the amount of the performance-based restricted stock units that vest for each Named Executive Officer will occur on March 1, 2014 (“Vesting Date”). This determination will be based on the Corporation’s return on average tangible common equity (“F.N.B. ROATCE”) and earnings per share growth during the four year period beginning January 1, 2010, and ending on December 31, 2013 (“Performance Period”). In order to qualify for vesting the Named Executive Officer must remain continuously employed by the Corporation up to the Vesting Date and the F.N.B. ROATCE during the Performance Period must be greater than or equal to the 25th percentile of the return on average tangible common equity of peer institutions. The calculation of the number of performance-based restricted stock units that shall vest will be contingent upon the Corporation’s achievement of certain earnings per share growth levels relative to the earnings per share growth of peer institutions during the Performance Period.
         
F.N.B.’s EPS Growth Relative to   Restricted Stock Units Earned
Peer Financial Institutions’ EPS   as a multiple of the Restricted
Growth Percentile   Stock Units targeted)
Threshold 25th
    .50  
Target 50th
    1.00  
Maximum 75th
    1.75  
     For amounts of the Corporation’s relative earnings per share growth as compared to peer financial institutions between the Threshold and Target levels or between the Target and Maximum levels, straight line interpolation, rounded up to the next whole share, will be used to determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will become vested.
     The foregoing discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan and of the form of the RSU Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
