This proxy statement also relates to any adjournment or postponement of our Annual Meeting. We have commenced the mailing of our proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card to our shareholders of record as of March 10, 2010. We will bear all of the costs of preparing and mailing our proxy material to our shareholders. We will, upon request, reimburse brokers, nominees, fiduciaries, custodians and other record holders for their reasonable expenses in forwarding our proxy materials to beneficial owners.
 
We use the following terms in this proxy statement:
 
  •  “We,” “us,” “our,” “F.N.B.,” “Company,” or “Corporation” mean F.N.B. Corporation;
 
  •  “Board” means the F.N.B. Corporation Board of Directors;
 
  •  “FNBPA” means First National Bank of Pennsylvania;
 
  •  “FNTC” means First National Trust Company; and
 
  •  “F.N.B. Capital” means F.N.B. Capital Corporation, LLC.
 
ABOUT OUR ANNUAL MEETING
 
What will our shareholders vote on at our Annual Meeting?
 
Our shareholders will act upon the following proposals at our Annual Meeting:
 
  •  The election of the ten nominees named in this proxy statement to serve for a term of one year and until the election of their successors;
 
  •  The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2010; and

VOTING
 
Who is entitled to vote at our meeting?
 
Our Board has set March 10, 2010 as the record date for our Annual Meeting. Only F.N.B. holders of our common stock of record at the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at our Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement of our Annual Meeting. F.N.B. shareholders who plan to

Table of Contents

attend our Annual Meeting may obtain driving directions to the meeting location by contacting our shareholder relations representative, Jennifer DeFazio, at (888) 981-6000.
 
What are the Board’s voting recommendations?
 
The Board recommends that you vote your shares:
 
  •  “For” the election of each of the ten nominees for election as directors named in this proxy statement (Proposal 1); and
 
  •  “For” ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2010 (Proposal 2).
 
What vote is required to approve each matter?
 
Action by the shareholders on each of the proposals presented at our Annual Meeting requires the presence of a quorum at our Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy. Refer to the discussion in our proxy statement under the question, “What constitutes a quorum?”
 
Under Proposal 1, our directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at our Annual Meeting. The ten persons nominated for election as a director in accordance with our bylaws who receive the highest number of “For” votes cast by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting will be elected as directors. If you properly submit your proxy and mark “Withhold” authority for any individual director or all of the nominees, the proxies will not vote your shares for the nominee or nominees as to which you so indicate, but we will count your shares as present in determining whether a quorum exists. Our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws do not authorize cumulative voting in the election of directors.
 
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on Proposal 2 at the Annual Meeting is required for approval of Proposal 2. For purposes of the vote on Proposal 2, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.
 
What are the voting rights of our shareholders?
 
The only class of our securities that is outstanding and entitled to vote at our Annual Meeting is our common stock. As of the March 10, 2010 record date, we had 114,065,164 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to one vote per share with respect to each matter to be voted on at our Annual Meeting.
 
How do I vote?
 
You can vote either in person at our Annual Meeting or by proxy whether or not you attend our Annual Meeting. When you or your authorized attorney-in-fact grants us your proxy, you authorize us to vote your shares of our stock in the manner you specify on your proxy card. Giving a proxy allows your shares to be voted at our Annual Meeting even if you do not attend the Annual Meeting in person. If your shares are in an account at a bank or securities broker (that is, in “street name”), you will receive an instruction card and information about how to give voting instructions.
 
If you hold your shares directly, to vote by proxy you must do one of the following:
 
  •  Vote by mail.  Complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided (the envelope requires no postage if mailed in the United States).
 
  •  Vote by Internet.  Instructions are provided on your proxy card. Our Internet voting system is designed to provide security for the voting process and to confirm that your vote has been recorded accurately.
 
  •  Vote by telephone.  Instructions are provided on your proxy card.
 
  •  Vote at the Annual Meeting.  If you are a registered shareholder and attend our Annual Meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person or request a voting ballot to vote in person at the meeting. Even if you returned a proxy before our Annual Meeting, you may withdraw it and vote in person.
 
If you want to vote in person at our Annual Meeting and you hold your F.N.B. shares in an account at a bank or brokerage firm, you will need to obtain a signed proxy card from the brokerage firm or the bank that holds your


2


Table of Contents

F.N.B. stock. If your F.N.B. stock is registered in the name of a bank or brokerage firm, you also may be eligible to vote your shares electronically over the Internet or by telephone. Many banks and brokerage firms participate in the Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) online program. This program provides eligible shareholders who receive a paper copy of this proxy statement the opportunity to vote via the Internet or by telephone. If your bank or brokerage firm is participating in Broadridge’s program, your proxy card will provide the instructions. If your proxy card does not reference Internet or telephone information, please complete and return the proxy card in the enclosed self-addressed, postage paid envelope.
 
Who can attend our Annual Meeting?
 
All shareholders as of the close of business on March 10, 2010 (the record date) or their duly appointed proxies may attend our Annual Meeting. Even if you currently plan to attend our Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote by either mailing us your completed proxy card or by submitting your vote via the Internet or telephone as described above so that your vote will be counted at our Annual Meeting if you later decide not to attend our Annual Meeting.
 
If you hold your shares in “street name” by your bank or brokerage firm, you will need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting your ownership of F.N.B. stock as of March 10, 2010, and check in at the registration desk at our Annual Meeting.
 
What constitutes a quorum?
 
The presence at our Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock on the record date will constitute a quorum, permitting the conduct of business at our Annual Meeting. If you return a properly completed proxy card, vote on the Internet, vote by telephone or vote in person at our Annual Meeting, you will be considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum. Proxies received, but marked as abstentions, proxies that withhold authority and broker “non-votes,” will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present for purposes of determining a quorum.
 
Can I change my vote after I have voted?
 
You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before we count your vote at our Annual Meeting. You may change your vote by signing and returning a new proxy card or by Internet or telephone vote with a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Only your latest instruction will be counted. However, your attendance at our Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at our Annual Meeting or specifically request that your prior proxy be revoked by delivering a written notice of revocation prior to our Annual Meeting to our Corporate Secretary at F.N.B. Corporation, One F.N.B. Boulevard, Hermitage, Pennsylvania 16148.
 
How do I vote if my shares are held in “street name”?
 
If you hold your shares in “street name” in an account at a bank or brokerage firm, we generally cannot mail our proxy materials directly to you. Instead, your bank or brokerage firm will forward our proxy materials to you and tell you how to give them instructions for voting your F.N.B. shares.
 
How do I vote my 401(k) Plan shares?
 
If you participate in the F.N.B. Corporation Progress Savings 401(k) Plan (“401(k) Plan”), you may vote the number of shares of common stock credited to your account as of the record date. You may vote by instructing FNTC, the trustee of our 401(k) Plan, pursuant to the proxy card being mailed with this proxy statement to plan participants. The trustee will vote your shares in accordance with your duly executed proxy card, provided that the trustee receives it by 3:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on Friday, May 14, 2010.
 
If you do not return your proxy card, your shares credited to your 401(k) Plan account will be voted by the trustee in the same proportion that it votes the shares for which it did timely receive proxy cards.
 
You may also revoke a previously given proxy card until 3:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on Friday, May 14, 2010, by filing with the trustee either a written notice of revocation or a properly completed and signed proxy card or Internet or telephone vote having a later date.

How will we conduct the business of our Annual Meeting?
 
Our bylaws govern the organization and conduct of business at our shareholder’s meetings. Our bylaws specify that our Board Chairman shall preside at our shareholder meetings. Our Board Chairman, Mr. William B. Campbell, will serve as Chair of our Annual Meeting and call the meeting to order. As Chair of our Annual Meeting, Mr. Campbell will determine, in his discretion, the order of the business to be conducted at our Annual Meeting and the procedure for our Annual Meeting. Mr. Campbell will announce the opening and closing for the polls for each matter on which our shareholders will vote at our Annual Meeting.
 
Who can answer my questions?
 
Should you have questions concerning these proxy materials or our Annual Meeting or should you wish to request additional copies of this proxy statement or proxy card, you may contact Mr. David B. Mogle who is our Corporate Secretary at (888) 981-6000.
 
How can I avoid receiving more than one set of proxy materials in future years?
 
If two or more registered shareholders live in your household or if a registered shareholder maintains two or more shareholder accounts, you may have received more than one set of our proxy materials. We have made a delivery method for proxy materials called “householding” available to our shareholders. If you consent to “householding,” only one annual report and one proxy statement will be delivered to your address; however, a separate proxy card will be delivered for each account. Please refer to the section titled, “Other Matters — Householding of Proxy Materials” at the end of this proxy statement for more information regarding “householding”.
 
Is my vote confidential?
 
We process proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders in a manner that protects your voting privacy. We will not disclose your vote either within the Company or to third parties, except:
 
  •  As necessary to meet applicable legal requirements;
 
  •  To allow for the tabulation and certification of votes; and
 
  •  To facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.
 
Occasionally, shareholders provide written comments on their proxy cards. In our discretion, we may forward your comments to our management or the Board.
 
Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
 
We will announce the preliminary voting results at our Annual Meeting. The judges of election will tally the final voting results and we will include the final voting results in a Form 8-K, which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by May 25, 2010.
 
Who is paying for the cost of this proxy solicitation?
 
The Company is paying the costs of the solicitation of proxies. The Company has retained Regan & Associates, Inc. to assist in obtaining proxies by mail, facsimile or email from registered holders, brokerage firms, bank nominees and other institutions for the Annual Meeting. The estimated cost of such services is $20,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses. Regan & Associates, Inc. may be contacted at (800) 737-3426.
 
The Company will also reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares held in “street name” for their reasonable costs associated with:
 
  •  Forwarding the Notice of our Annual Meeting to beneficial owners;
 
  •  Forwarding printed proxy materials by mail to beneficial owners who specifically request them; and
 
  •  Obtaining beneficial owners’ voting instructions.

In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, certain of our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies on our behalf personally or by telephone, facsimile or email.
 
Proposal 1. Election of Directors
 
General Information Regarding Director Nominees
 
Our bylaws provide that our Board shall consist of not fewer than five nor more than 25 persons, the exact number to be determined from time to time by the Board.
 
Our Board fixed the number of directors as of the Annual Meeting date at 15.
 
Our bylaws formerly provided for classification of the directors into three classes with the term of office of the directors of each class to expire at the third Annual Meeting of Shareholders after the election of directors of that class. In consideration of contemporary corporate governance practices, the Corporation’s Board unanimously voted to amend and restate the Corporation’s bylaws to declassify our Board on December 17, 2008. Under the amendment, each director in office on December 17, 2008 will continue to serve until the expiration of the term of office to which the director was most recently elected or appointed or the director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. After December 17, 2008, each director who is elected at any meeting of shareholders or appointed to fill a vacancy on our Board shall serve a one-year term and until such director’s successor is elected. Therefore, assuming that each currently serving director serves the remaining full term to which he or she was elected or appointed, our shareholders will vote to elect our entire Board each year commencing with our Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2011.
 
Accordingly, the following Class III directors, whose terms expire at our Annual Meeting, have been nominated by our Board for re-election at our Annual Meeting, to continue to serve until our next Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2011 and the election of their successors: William B. Campbell, Stephen J. Gurgovits, Harry F. Radcliffe, John W. Rose and Stanton R. Sheetz. Also, the following directors whose one-year terms expire at our Annual Meeting (formerly our Class II directors), have been nominated for re-election at our Annual Meeting, to continue to serve until our Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2011 and the election of their successors: Philip E. Gingerich, Robert B. Goldstein, David J. Malone, Arthur J. Rooney, II and William J. Strimbu (hereinafter the directors nominated for election at our 2010 Annual Meeting may be collectively referred to as the “nominees.”)
 
Each of the nominees will hold office for a one-year term and until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed or until his or her earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal.
 
Our bylaws do not permit cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Relevant biographical information concerning the nominees for election at F.N.B.’s Annual Meeting and other Company directors who will remain in office until the expiration of their terms at our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is described under “Directors” in this proxy statement.
 
Listed below are the Company’s ten nominees to serve as directors and the five incumbent directors who will continue in office following our Annual Meeting until our Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2011 when the three-year terms to which they were originally elected expire.

Biographical Information Concerning Directors and Nominees
 
William B. Campbell was elected Chairman of our Corporation in 2009 and has been a Director of F.N.B. since the Company commenced operations in 1975. Mr. Campbell also serves on our Executive, Nominating and Corporate Governance (formerly Chaired this Committee) and Succession Committee (formerly Chaired this Committee) and was formerly the Board’s Lead Director.

After more than 30 years of

developing high level executive experience in the manufacturing, steel, commercial development and construction industries, Mr. Campbell retired in 1992. Mr. Campbell’s expertise, when coupled with FNBPA’s core commercial lending business, makes him a valuable member of our Board. During his career, Mr. Campbell also served in leadership capacities on a number of regional and national trade associations representing the steel, construction and manufacturing industries. Mr. Campbell’s numerous business contacts across various industries offers the Corporation’s affiliates a significant source of business opportunities. Mr. Campbell served 14 years as director of the Shenango Valley Industrial Development Authority in Sharon, Pennsylvania and served on the Board of Trustees of Westminster College located in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. Mr. Campbell’s background provides him with the decision-making experience, knowledge of best corporate practices and strategies and understanding of Board responsibilities to help him as Chairman to lead the Board as a cohesive and effective team. Mr. Campbell’s work experience in the steel, construction and manufacturing industries as well as his extensive experience in commercial real estate development, and his lengthy experience on the Boards of F.N.B. and its various affiliates, qualify him to serve as a member of our Board and our Executive, Nominating and Corporate Governance, and Succession Committees.
 
Henry M. Ekker was named Director in 1994 and serves on our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Mr. Ekker has been an FNBPA director since 1994 and is a member of FNBPA’s Community Reinvestment Act Committee. Mr. Ekker is a partner in the law firm of Ekker, Kuster, McConnell and Epstein, LLP, located in Sharon, Pennsylvania. The focus of Mr. Ekker’s legal practice is corporate law, business combinations, estate planning and elder law. Mr. Ekker’s legal background enables him to offer the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee an understanding of potential legal and regulatory issues that impact our Corporation. Mr. Ekker’s experience as a lawyer and his grasp of the legal issues underlying corporate governance matters, commercial transactions, mergers and fiduciary issues, coupled with his long-term service on the F.N.B. and affiliate Boards of Directors, qualify him as a member of our Board and our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
 
Philip E. Gingerich has been on our Board since 2008 and is a member of our Risk Committee. Mr. Gingerich was a director of Omega Financial Corporation, a bank holding company located in State College, Pennsylvania, from 1994 until 2008. Mr. Gingerich, a retired member of the Appraisal Institute, was a real estate appraiser and broker for over 30 years until he retired from his business in 2003, and served as a consultant until 2006. Mr. Gingerich’s clients included financial institutions, the U.S. government, state and local governments and agencies, public utility companies, corporations and private individuals. Mr. Gingerich has an extensive real estate appraisal expertise, including the appraisal of shopping centers, apartments, office, industrial, commercial and medical buildings, motels, restaurants, golf courses, farms, single and multi-family housing, development and recreational land. Mr. Gingerich was recognized as an expert real estate appraiser by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs, the Department of Transportation, and federal government.

For a description of the Compensation Committee’s processes and procedures, including the roles of the Company’s executive officers and independent compensation consultants in the Compensation Committee’s decision-making process, we refer you to “Executive Compensation and Other Proxy Disclosure” elsewhere in this proxy statement.
 
The Nominating Committee assists in the development of standards concerning the qualifications of the Board members and composition of the Company’s and its affiliates’ boards, recommends director candidates to stand for election to the Company’s Board and director appointments to the boards of the Company’s affiliates and advisory boards, and seeks to promote the best interests of the Company and its shareholders through implementation of prudent and sound corporate governance principles and practices. We refer you to “Corporate Governance” elsewhere in this proxy statement. The Nominating Committee met nine times in 2009.
 
The Risk Committee’s principal responsibilities are to assist the Board in reviewing and overseeing information regarding the Company’s management of its enterprise-wide risk program, including establishing acceptable risk tolerance levels for the Company and reporting this information to the Board. In addition, the Risk Committee assists the Board in maintaining the integrity and credibility of the Company’s investor relations practices and developing meaningful strategies to generate awareness of F.N.B. in the capital markets and among certain key audiences such as institutional and individual investors, the media and the business community. The Risk Committee met six times in 2009.
 
The Succession Committee plans for the succession to the position of the Company’s CEO in the event of an anticipated or unanticipated vacancy. The Succession Committee met six times in 2009.
 
The Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee responsibilities are described more fully in, and these Committees operate under, written charters adopted by the Board. You may review these charters on our website at www.fnbcorporation.com under the tab “Corporate Structure” and then clicking on the heading, “Corporate Governance.”
 
Code of Ethics
 
The Company has a Code of Ethics that applies to all of the Company’s Directors and employees, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, and the Board. You may view a copy of our Code of Ethics on our website at www.fnbcorporation.com under the tab “Corporate Structure,” by clicking on “Corporate Governance.” The Company will disclose any changes in or waivers from its Code of Ethics by posting such information on its website or by filing a Form 8-K.
 
Risk Management
 
As a financial institution, the Board recognizes that the Corporation takes on a certain amount of risk in every business decision, transaction and activity. The Corporation’s Board and management have identified five major categories of risk: credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and compliance risk. In its oversight role of the Corporation’s risk management, the Board is mindful that risk management is not about eliminating risk, but rather is about identifying and accepting risks and then effectively managing them so as to optimize total shareholder value.
 
The Corporation supports its risk management process is supported through a governance structure involving its Board and senior management. The Board’s Risk Committee helps insure that business decisions within the organization are executed within the Corporation’s desired risk profile. The Risk Committee has the following critical responsibilities: (i) the facilitation and identification, assessment and monitoring of enterprise-wide risk across the Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates; (ii) development of support and oversight to the Corporation’s businesses; and (iii) identification and implementation of risk management best practices.

Table of Contents

In addition, the Corporation’s principal subsidiary, FNBPA, has a Risk Management Committee comprised of senior management. The purpose of this committee is to provide day-to-day oversight to specific areas of risk with respect to the level of risk and risk management structure. The Risk Management Committee reports on a regular basis to the Corporation’s Risk Committee regarding the enterprise risk profile of the Corporation and other relevant risk management issues. Further, the Corporation’s audit function performs an independent assessment of the Company’s internal control environment and plays an integral role in testing the operation of internal control systems and reporting findings to management and the Corporation’s Audit Committee. Both the Corporation’s Risk Committee and Audit Committee regularly report risk-related matters to the Corporation’s Board. In addition, both the Corporation’s Risk Committee and FNBPA’s Risk Management Committee regularly assess the Corporation’s enterprise-wide risk profile and provide guidance on actions needed to address key and emerging risk issues.
 
The Board believes that the Company’s enterprise-wide risk management process is effective since it includes the following material components: (i) enables the Board to assess the quality of the information it receives; (ii) enables the Board to understand the businesses of F.N.B., its affiliates and its subsidiaries and the risks that they face; (iii) enables the Board to oversee and assess how senior management evaluates risk; and (iv) enables the Board to assess appropriately the quality of the Company’s enterprise-wide risk management process.

Director Independence
 
Background.  As a company that has securities listed on the NYSE, a majority of members of our Board must be independent. Under the NYSE’s corporate governance rules, no director qualifies as independent unless our Board affirmatively determines that the director has no “material relationship” with F.N.B. The fact that a director or member of a director’s immediate family may have a material relationship with F.N.B directly or as a partner, owner, shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with F.N.B. will not necessarily preclude such director from being nominated for election to our Board.
 
The New York Stock Exchange’s bright-line independence tests.  The NYSE established director independence requirements in order to increase the quality of Board oversight at listed companies and to lessen the possibility that damaging conflicts of interests will influence Board decisions. The NYSE bright-line independence tests each describe a specific set of circumstances that would cause a director not to be independent from our management. The NYSE’s corporate governance rules do not define every relationship that will be considered material for purposes of determining a director’s independence from our management.
 
F.N.B. categorical standards of director independence.  In addition to the NYSE bright-line independence standards, F.N.B. has adopted categorical independence standards. The categorical independence standards define certain ordinary course of business transactions and other relationships that F.N.B.’s Board has concluded cause a director not to be considered independent. A summary of F.N.B.’s categorical standards follows:
 
  •  Significant financial relationship whereby the service or product provider has made payments to, or received payments from us, or our affiliates, in an amount that, in any of the last five fiscal years does not exceed the greater of $1,000,000 or 2% of such provider’s consolidated gross revenue;
 
  •  Business or financial transactions with an affiliate of F.N.B. provided such transaction is entered into in the ordinary course of business and on terms substantially similar to those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions for non-affiliated persons of F.N.B. or its affiliates and such transaction conforms with applicable federal regulatory standards, and termination of the business or financial relationship in the ordinary course of business would not reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or business of F.N.B. or its affiliate customer;
 
  •  A director or immediate family member is associated as a partner or associate of, or of counsel to, a law firm that provides services to F.N.B. or its affiliates and the payments relating to such services do not exceed 2% or $1,000,000 whichever is greater, of the law firm’s revenues in each of the past five years;
 
  •  Banking and financial transactions involving directors, their immediate family members or affiliated entities are done in the ordinary course of business and comply with applicable federal bank regulatory standards unless such transaction is a loan that is disclosed in the most recent federal bank examination as non-accrual, past due, restructured or having significant potential problems; and
 
  •  Participation by directors, the director’s immediate family member or affiliated entity in financing transactions sponsored by F.N.B. Capital which are made in the ordinary course of business and are made on substantially the same terms as those made available to F.N.B. Capital will not be deemed material for director independence determination purposes unless the director or immediate family member is an officer, director or owner of 10% or more of the business enterprise or the entity to which F.N.B. Capital is furnishing any such financing or equity capital.
 
Also, our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that our Board “broadly consider all relevant facts and circumstances” especially in situations not covered by the NYSE bright-line independence standards or our categorical independence standards.

As required by the NYSE’s corporate governance rules, we would disclose in this proxy statement any director relationships with us that would not be consistent with either the NYSE bright-line independence standards or our categorical independence standards.
 
Director Independence Determinations
 
On February 17, 2010, our Board, with the assistance of the Nominating Committee, conducted an evaluation of director independence, based on the director independence standards set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the NYSE rules and applicable SEC rules and regulations. In connection with this review, our Board evaluated banking, commercial, business, investment, legal, charitable, consulting, familial or other relationships with each director, that director’s immediate family member and their related business interests and us and our affiliates, including those relationships described under the caption “Related Persons Transactions,” in this proxy statement.
 
As a result of this evaluation, our Board affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. Campbell, Ekker, Gingerich, Goldstein, Martz, Malone, Mortensen, Radcliffe, Rooney, Rose, Sheetz, Strimbu and Wahl and Ms. Hickton is an independent director under our director independence standards, the NYSE independence standards and the applicable SEC rules and regulations. To our knowledge, the aggregate grants, donations and contributions made by us or our affiliates to any non-profit organization for which one of our directors served as an officer or director did not exceed the greater of one million dollars or 2% of such organization’s consolidated gross revenues in 2009.
 
Our Board affirmatively determined that Mr. Gurgovits is not independent under the NYSE corporate governance rules and F.N.B.’s categorical director independence standards because he is the principal executive officer of the Company.
 
None of our Audit Committee members serve on more than two other public company audit committees.
 
Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships among the executive officers and directors of the Company.
 
Executive Sessions of our Board
 
Our policy is that our Board holds at least one executive session per year attended exclusively by outside independent members of the Board and who are not a member of our executive management. Our independent Chairman presides at each executive session meeting. Our independent Board members conducted one executive session in 2009, which was attended exclusively by independent and non-management directors.
 
COMMUNICATIONS WITH OUR BOARD
 
Shareholders or other interested parties may send communications to our Board, independent Directors as a group, Board Chairman, Committee Chairmen, and/or any individual director by addressing such communications to the Board, c/o Corporate Secretary, F.N.B. Corporation, One F.N.B. Boulevard, Hermitage, Pennsylvania 16148. The Corporate Secretary, or his designee, will promptly forward all such communications submitted and addressed in this manner to the members of our Board or any designated individual director or directors, as the case may be. Our Corporate Secretary will forward all shareholder communications with the Board or individual directors without prior screening by the Corporate Secretary or any other employee.
 
Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) requires that our executive officers and directors, as well as persons who own 10% or more of our common stock, to file reports of their ownership of our securities, as well as statements of changes in such ownership, with the SEC. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of copies of the reports filed on behalf of our directors and executive officers and written representations received from our executive officers and directors (we do not have any shareholders who own 10% or more of our


18


Table of Contents

common stock), no other reports were required, and based on our review of the statements of ownership changes filed by our executive officers and directors with the SEC during 2009, we believe all Section 16(a) filing requirements were timely met.
 
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
 
We are not aware of any shareholder who was the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2009, except for the entity identified in the table below:
 
                 
        Percent of

(1) Under the regulations of the SEC, a person who has or shares voting or investment power with respect to a security is considered a beneficial owner of the security. Voting power is the power to vote or direct the voting of shares, and investment power is the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of shares.
 
(2) According to Schedule 13G filed under the Exchange Act on January 20, 2010, BlackRock, Inc. has sole voting and disposition power of 7,978,598 shares.
 
(3) Based on 114,111,695 shares of Corporation common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2009.
 
RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
 
We have adopted a written policy formalizing the manner in which we review a proposed transaction involving our Company and any of our directors, any director nominees, any executive officers, any 5% or greater shareholder or any immediate family member of the foregoing (“related persons”) because of the potential of a conflict of interest. A copy of this “Policy with Respect to Related Person Transactions” is posted on our website at www.fnbcorporation.com under the tab “Corporate Structure,” by clicking on “Corporate Governance.” Under our policy, all proposed related person transactions involving amounts in excess of $120,000 must receive the prior approval of the Nominating Committee of our Board before we can take part in the transaction and if such transaction continues for more than one year the Nominating Committee and Board must annually approve the transaction.
 
In 2009, some of our directors and executive officers and their associates were customers of, and had transactions with, one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons. We expect similar transactions to take place in the future. In 2009, each of the Company directors and Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) had loans or loan commitments with our subsidiary bank, FNBPA, which were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not affiliated with us, and these loans did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability nor did they present other unfavorable features. We determined that these loans and loan commitments were performing in accordance with their contractual terms. In addition, our wealth management affiliate, FNTC, acts as fiduciary under various employee benefit plans of and acts as investment manager to certain customers whose officers and/or directors may also be directors of our Company. We entered into these fiduciary arrangements in the ordinary course on terms substantially similar to those entered into with customers who do not have any affiliation with us.
 
Mr. Rooney is co-owner of, and executive with Pittsburgh Steelers Sports, Inc., which is a related interest of PSSI Stadium Corp., to whom FNBPA paid approximately $135,000 in 2009 in connection with a Heinz Field Suite Licensing Agreement pursuant to which FNBPA entertains clients at sporting and entertainment events. Also, in 2009, F.N.B. affiliates paid approximately $100,000 to Sheetz, Inc. in connection with fuel for fleet, courier and business related travel. Mr. Sheetz is co-owner and CEO of Sheetz, Inc. FNBPA leases the premises for a branch facility from an immediate family member of Mr. Sheetz and paid approximately $114,000 in 2009 in connection with this lease. We effected the transactions with Mr. Rooney’s and Mr. Sheetz’s related interests in the ordinary

course of business on substantially the same terms as those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons.
 
There are no family relationships as defined in the SEC and the NYSE rules between any of our executive officers or directors and any other executive officer or director. However, Director Rose’s step-son is an employee of FNBPA and receives compensation in accordance with FNBPA’s policies and practices. Mr. Rose’s step-son was paid less than $120,000 in total compensation in 2009 and participated in our compensation and incentive plans or arrangements on the same basis as other similarly situated employees and received referral fees and relocation expenses in accordance with our standard policies.
 
Stephen J. Gurgovits, Jr., President of our subsidiary, F.N.B. Capital, is the son of Stephen J. Gurgovits, Sr., our President and CEO. In 2009, Mr. Gurgovits, Jr. received a base salary of $156,896; cash bonus of $21,875; and perquisites of $4,779. Mr. Gurgovits, Jr.’s compensation is paid in accordance with applicable policies and practices of the Company and commensurate with peers possessing similar executive responsibilities.
 
Lastly, Sandra Gurgovits, who is the wife of F.N.B. President and CEO, is a licensed realtor with Northwood Realty Services which is not affiliated with our Company. From time to time, employees of the Company or its affiliates who are provided relocation allowances under the Company’s relocation policy in connection with their move to or from our headquarters may engage Ms. Gurgovits. As compensation for her services as a real estate agent, Ms. Gurgovits receives commission payments for these services in the ordinary course of business in accordance with Northwood Realty Services’ standard commission schedules.
 
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND
OTHER PROXY DISCLOSURE
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
The members of the Compensation Committee (“Committee”) during 2009 were Mr. Goldstein as Chairman, Messrs. Malone, Rooney and Rose and Ms. Hickton. Mr. Rooney resigned from the Committee in January, 2010. None of the foregoing members have ever been employed by the Company or FNBPA other than Mr. Rose. No such member had, during our last fiscal year, any relationship with us requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K or under the Compensation Committee Interlocks disclosure requirements of Item 407(e)(4) of Regulation S-K. Each Committee member has been determined to be independent under the NYSE Rules, and are non-employees under the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act; however, since Mr. Rose is not an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) he does not vote on compensation related matters. Our Board has delegated to the Committee the responsibility of setting the compensation of our directors, CEO, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and certain officers. The Committee met twelve times in 2009. A copy of the Compensation Committee charter is posted at our website www.fnbcorporation.com under the tab, “Corporate Structure,” and then clicking on the heading “Corporate Governance”.
 
Authority and Responsibilities
 
The Committee administers our executive compensation programs, including the oversight of executive compensation policies and decisions, administration of the annual cash incentive award plan applicable to executive officers and our equity incentive plan. The Committee administers and interprets our qualified and non-qualified benefit plans, establishes guidelines, approves participants in the non-qualified plans, approves grants and awards, and exercises other power and authority required and permitted under the plans and its charter. The Committee also reviews and approves executive officer, including CEO, compensation, including, as applicable, salary, short-term incentive and long-term incentive compensation levels, perquisites and equity compensation. The Committee Charter reflects its responsibilities. The Committee reviews its Charter annually and recommends any proposed changes to the Board.

Table of Contents

Delegation
 
From time to time, the Committee may delegate authority to fulfill various functions of administering the Company’s plans to our employees. Currently, it delegates administration of our qualified plans to the Pension Committee, a committee of our senior officers that have the appropriate expertise, experience and background in handling defined benefit and defined contribution plans.
 
Consultants
 
The Committee engaged Mercer (US) Inc. (“Mercer”) to assist it in evaluating our compensation practices and to provide advice and ongoing recommendations regarding CEO, NEOs and director compensation that are consistent with our business goals and pay philosophy. Mercer provides market information and analysis as background to decisions regarding total compensation, including base salary and short and long-term incentives, for the CEO, NEOs and other senior officers and directors. Mercer is not affiliated with F.N.B. nor did it or its affiliates, provide any other services or perform other work for the Company in 2009.
 
Mercer reports directly to the Chairman of the Committee. In performance of its duties, Mercer interacted with our CEO, Chief Operating Officer, CFO, Director of Human Resources, Corporate Counsel and other employees. In addition, Mercer communicated with, took direction from, and regularly interacted with the Chairman of the Committee and other members of the Committee in addition to attending Committee meetings on an as needed basis.
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
This section discusses the material factors involved in our decisions regarding the compensation of the NEOs (as defined in the discussion under the caption, “2009 Summary Compensation Table,” of this proxy statement) during 2009. The specific amounts paid or payable to the NEOs are included in the tables and narrative under the title, “2009 Summary Compensation Table,” of this proxy statement. The following discussion cross-references the specific tabular and narrative disclosures where appropriate.
 
Objectives
 
We seek to link the interest of shareholders and management in creating long-term shareholder value through our compensation program. We believe we will accomplish this objective and attract and retain highly motivated and talented employees by linking compensation to individual performance, and short and long-term performance. We believe our compensation program must consider the knowledge and expertise of our executives and competitive pressures in the industry and designed it to result in increased compensation when performance is above targeted or benchmarked standards and decreased total compensation when performance is below targeted or benchmarked standards. However, we do not anticipate our compensation program will reward unnecessary risk taking.
 
Elements of Compensation
 
Overview
 
We have divided executive compensation into five broad categories: (i) base salary, (ii) short-term annual incentive compensation, (iii) long-term incentive compensation, (iv) retirement and post-employment benefits and (v) other benefits and perquisites. We use incentive programs to reward our NEOs (and other senior officers) for individual and Company performance. Overall, the awards under the plans are designed to vary with position and level of responsibility reflecting the principle that the total compensation opportunity should increase with position and responsibility while, at the same time, putting a greater percentage of each NEO’s compensation “at risk” based on Company and individual performance.

Benchmarks
 
We desire our compensation programs to be competitive in the marketplace. Thus, for purposes of 2009 compensation, we compared ourself against commercial banks with assets in the $4 billion to $16 billion range located in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest Region (“Peer Group”) that includes the following financial institutions:
 
         
1st Source Corp.
  Fulton Financial Corp.   Signature Bank
Amcore Financial Inc.
  Irwin Financial Corp.   Susquehanna Bancshares Inc.
Capitol Bancorp Ltd.
  MB Financial Inc.   TCF Financial Corp.
Citizens Republic Bancorp
  National Penn Bancshares Inc.   UMB Financial Corp.
Community Bank System Inc.
  NBT Bancorp Inc.   United Bankshares Inc.
First Busey Corp.
  Old National Bancorp   Valley National Bancorp
First Commonwealth Financial Corp.
  Park National Corp.   Wesbanco Inc.
First Midwest Bancorp Inc.
  Privatebancorp Inc.   Wilmington Trust Corp.
Firstmerit Corp.
  Provident Bankshares Corp.   Wintrust Financial Corp.
 
For purposes of comparing base salary, annual incentives, and long-term compensation, the Committee conducts a review of its benchmarks throughout the year, with assistance from Mercer, using a variety of methods such as direct analysis of proxy statements of companies in the Peer Group, as well as a review of compilation of survey data of companies of a similar size published by several independent consulting firms and customized compensation surveys performed by independent consulting firms. At the time of setting base salary and making short and long term compensation awards, there were the 27 organizations noted above in the Peer Group. We believe the group is diverse and provides the necessary depth to be meaningful in setting salary and incentive goals. Overall, the Committee’s intention is to have base compensation be in the fiftieth percentile (50%) of compensation paid by competitors for comparable positions, with an annual bonus and long-term incentive opportunity such that, if an NEO realizes the incentives, at the maximum level, his or her total compensation will be above the median and in the third quartile.
 
The various components of the NEOs’ total compensation are detailed below.
 
Base Salary
 
  •  Why We Pay this Component
 
We provide base salary to all salaried employees including the NEOs, in order to provide them with a degree of financial certainty. Competitive base salaries further our compensation program objectives by allowing us to attract and retain talented employees by providing a fixed portion of compensation upon which all employees can rely. Base salary is the only fixed portion of our NEOs’ compensation.
 
  •  How We Determine the Amount
 
Year-to-year, the Committee determines adjustments to each NEO’s base salary based upon an assessment of his or her performance versus job responsibilities, including the impact of such performance on our financial results. We target base salary for NEOs at the median of the Peer Group. We review base salary annually and adjust it as the Committee deems appropriate. In certain cases, the Committee increases base salary in order to raise the NEO’s annual salary to reflect more closely the annual salaries of comparably performing Peer Group executives.
 
The Committee initially set Mr. Gurgovits’ 2009 compensation after Mr. New resigned. It further reviewed Mr. Gurgovits’ compensation in June, 2009, when we reorganized our management team and set his annual base salary at $750,000. The Committee considered our compensation philosophy, Mr. Gurgovits’ 2008 compensation, retirement benefits, experience in the industry, service with us and the consulting agreement we entered into with Mr. Gurgovits in June 2008. The Committee set Mr. New’s salary in October, 2008,

Table of Contents

based upon a peer analysis with the increase in salary to $660,000 annually effective January 2009. The Committee believes that each of Messrs. Gurgovits’ and New’s total compensation was consistent with our philosophy, properly considered each of their respective experience and was at a level competitive with CEOs within the financial services industry and the Peer Group.
 
None of the NEOs, except Mr. New as discussed above, received an increase in his or her base salary in January 2009, when we have typically awarded such increases. The Committee reviewed the NEOs’ compensation and determined whether each of their respective base salaries was consistent with our philosophy. Due to the unusual economic conditions that occurred in 2008, the Committee did not believe it appropriate to increase base salaries of the NEOs in January. Nonetheless, in June, 2009, the Committee re-evaluated the base salaries of Messrs. Calabrese, Lilly and Delie due to mid-year promotions and a re-organization of our executive management. At that time, Mr. Calabrese was promoted to CFO, Mr. Lilly was promoted to Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Delie to President of our primary subsidiary, FNBPA. Therefore, the Committee reviewed the Peer Group data and determined it appropriate to award base salary increases to Messrs. Delie and Lilly in order to have their base salaries approximate the average of similarly positioned executive officers of similar sized companies in the Peer Group. Mr. Lilly’s salary increased from $330,000 to $360,000 and Mr. Delie’s annual salary increased from $300,000 to $360,000. In determining the increase to Mr. Calabrese’s base salary from $208,032 to $260,016 and annual incentive opportunity from 35% to 40% of his base salary, the Committee took into consideration Mr. Calabrese’s increased responsibilities and information furnished by Mercer concerning the compensation of Peer Group chief financial officers.
 
  •  Relation of Base Salary to Other Components of Compensation
 
An NEO’s base salary is a reference point for the executive’s annual incentive opportunities. The Committee determines the level at which each NEO participates in the annual executive incentive compensation program (“EIC Plan”) under the 2007 Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”). This level is typically expressed in a percentage amount. For example, if an NEO participates in the EIC Plan at the 40% level, it means that the NEO’s target incentive opportunity would be the NEO’s base salary multiplied by 40%. In addition, prior to 2007, base salary was the only component of compensation in the formula used to calculate an NEO’s pension benefit accrual under the Company’s Pension Plan. An NEO may also defer a portion of his or her base salary and bonus into the Company’s 401(k) Plan.
 
Annual Incentive Awards
 
The EIC Plan provides additional compensation to NEOs based on our achievement of certain financial objectives. The EIC Plan is open to each NEO and all other salaried personnel selected by the Committee based on the recommendation of our CEO.
 
  •  Why We Pay this Component
 
We believe that a significant amount of compensation should be contingent on Company performance. By putting a portion of the NEOs’ total short-term compensation “at-risk,” we expect to drive the Company’s annual performance while increasing long-term shareholder value. These goals are critical to the Company’s earnings per share and total shareholder return, which are important measures to both us and our shareholders. Our objective is to reward the NEO with annual incentive compensation for the creation and protection of shareholder value.
 
  •  How We Determine the Amount
 
Philosophy
 
We target short-term, annual incentive compensation of the CEO and the other NEOs such that it is tied directly to both corporate and individual performance. Corporate performance is based upon our performance relative to our overall annual performance versus the target net income goal set by the Board. Additionally, the Committee has discretion to consider unusual factors and their resulting effect on corporate performance, i.e. significant merger and acquisition transactions, unusual investment gains or

losses, corporate and balance sheet restructuring, significant asset sales and other items it deems appropriate in determining whether we met the target goal. We acknowledge that rules cannot be written that appropriately consider all outcomes in a twelve month measurement period. Therefore, the Committee also gives consideration to peer comparisons, the prevailing economic environment and activities that create and protect longer term shareholder value. The Committee has the discretion to determine all annual bonuses for the CEO and other NEOs.
 
Calculation
 
We have targeted annual incentive compensation to vary significantly based upon performance against the annual target net income goal such that there is a significant “upside” and “downside” potential. The EIC Plan provides for an increase over target if our performance exceeds plan from 1% to 27% of goal and a decrease from target for each 1% to 10% performance below target. For each 1% we deviate negatively from our net income goal, the annual incentive compensation pool is affected by 5%. Similarly, in 2009, the payout is positively affected by 3.6% for each 1% we are over our net income target. For example, if we miss our net income goal by 2%, then a NEO’s annual incentive bonus payment decreases 10% from his or her target bonus amount. In 2009, in order for the NEOs to achieve maximum payout, two times each NEO’s target percentage, we needed to achieve 127% of our planned net income goal. We establish a target pool amount that is a product of the annual salaries of the participants multiplied by the participants’ target payout levels (“Target Pool”). The target bonuses for the CEO and the other NEOs range from 40% to 60% of base pay. If we fail to achieve 90% of the target goal, the plan provides for an annual incentive compensation pool equal to 25% of the Target Pool for payout to the CEO, the other NEOs or other senior officers.
 
2009 Awards
 
In 2009, we did not reach 90% of the target net income goal. However, the Committee did not believe it was appropriate to rely on a formulaic approach; but rather, determined that it should give strong consideration to the overall accomplishments of the NEOs and the current environment in competing for talent. While the Committee was disappointed in the Company’s absolute performance, the Committee believed the Company’s relative performance was strong compared to peers and the positive effects of many of the Company’s actions were muted by a small portion of its commercial loan portfolio. Therefore, the Committee believed it appropriate to award a bonus to the NEOs. However, in lieu of cash bonuses for 2009 performance, we awarded restricted stock to the NEOs as more particularly stated in footnote 1 of the “2009 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table. Each restricted stock award will vest on January 16, 2013, if the NEO is still employed by us. The Committee believes such awards appropriately considered shareholder interests and rewarded management while remaining consistent with its philosophy.
 
  •  Relation of Annual Incentives to Other Components of Compensation
 
As noted above under the Base Salary discussion, annual incentive compensation is directly related to base compensation. Additionally, effective January 1, 2007, any cash bonus paid to the NEOs and all other participants in the defined benefit plan, is also used in calculating the participant’s retirement benefit. An NEO may also defer a portion of his or her bonus into the Company’s 401(k) Plan.
 
Long-Term Awards
 
We awarded service-based and performance-based restricted stock awards to our NEOs under our 2007 Plan as more particularly stated in the “2009 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table. The restricted stock awards provide additional compensation to NEOs, based on the Company’s achievement of certain financial objectives and the NEO remaining continuously employed. The 2007 Plan is open to each NEO and all other salaried personnel selected by our CEO and the Committee for participation.
 
  •  Why We Pay this Component
 
In recent years, the Committee has placed greater emphasis on restricted stock based awards, both performance and service-based, as a means to increase long-term stock ownership by NEOs and to reward management for creating long-term shareholder value. At the same time, placing a significant portion of an


24


Table of Contents

executive’s compensation in stock helps mitigate excessive risk taking. Based upon various factors, including our commitment to our shareholders to be a value oriented, high-dividend paying company, the Company currently does not award stock options. We have determined that it is in our best interest to continue to rely on granting equity-based awards as restricted stock and restricted stock units in order to best align our compensation practices with our long-term financial performance goals and objectives and our shareholders’ interests.
 
  •  How We Determine the Amount
 
We establish a target award level for each NEO based upon the officer’s level of responsibility in the Company. Additionally, we set the levels such that the award amount increases as the officer’s level of responsibility in the organization increases. At the time of granting the awards, the Committee sets the award amount for each participant level in an effort to provide competitive long-term compensation. We split the award into two components, one-third as a service-based award that vests in full at the end of three years (“Service-Based Awards”) and two-thirds as a performance-based award that vests in full at the end of four years, provided the Company meets certain performance requirements set forth in the awards (“Performance-Awards”). We believe this allocation of equity awards is appropriate since the Service-Based Awards reward NEOs for loyalty to the Company. The Performance Awards similarly reward loyalty and also drive our performance while creating shareholder value by linking the shareholders’ interests and the NEOs’ interests in long-term success. The Service-Based Awards were granted in restricted stock and the Performance Awards in restricted stock units. Both are subject to forfeiture if the NEO terminates employment, other than as a result of retirement, death or disability, before the cliff vesting date.
 
The Committee uses survey data from Mercer in order to position the target long term incentive compensation such that an award when realized by the NEO at target, as a percent of salary, would approximate the market median.
 
Our performance-based restricted stock unit awards are designed to align management’s long term incentive compensation with our annual total shareholder return objective. Under our current award structure, in order to qualify for vesting, the NEO must remain continuously employed by us up to the vesting date; our return on average tangible equity during the performance period must equal or exceed the 50th percentile performance of peer institutions; and we must have an increase in earnings per share during the performance period. The number of performance-based restricted stock units that vest is contingent upon our achievement of certain earnings per share growth levels relative to the earnings per share growth of the Peer Group institutions during the performance period.
 
  •  Relation of Long-Term Incentive to other Components of Compensation
 
Long-term incentive compensation earned by the NEOs is a component of total compensation and is benchmarked against the Company’s Peer Group. It does not impact any other component of NEO compensation or benefits. However, the program is designed to increase the NEOs’ overall compensation such that achievement of the performance goals will result in increased compensation.
 
Management Stock Ownership Policy
 
We maintain a Management Stock Ownership Policy that requires the CEO, the NEOs and all other participants in the long-term incentive plan, the 2007 Plan, and any successor plan to have varying levels of stock ownership based upon the officer’s participation level in the plan. We amended the policy in 2009 to increase the amount of shares required to be held by each of the participants in the plan. We believe that the policy further aligns management and shareholder interests. Stock ownership includes:
 
  •  shares owned individually and by immediate family;
 
  •  restricted stock not yet vested;
 
  •  shares held in the 401(k) Plan;
 
  •  vested stock options.

Specific ownership guidelines for the NEOs are as follows:
 
         
Named Executive Officer
  Share Ownership Requirement
 
Stephen J. Gurgovits
    70,000  
Brian F. Lilly
    25,000

Vincent J. Delie, Jr. 
    25,000  
Gary L. Guerrieri
    10,000  
Louise C. Lowrey
    10,000  
 
We review progress toward achieving the ownership guidelines annually. No officer, including the NEOs, is eligible to receive additional long-term incentive awards under the 2007 Plan unless he or she owns the amount of stock required by the policy within three years of becoming a participant in the long-term incentive portion of the 2007 Plan. Our NEOs currently meet this requirement.
 
Retirement and Other Post Employment Benefits
 
All salaried employees, hired before January 1, 2008, except employees of First National Insurance Agency, LLC (“FNIA”), participate in a defined benefit pension plan, the Retirement Income Plan (“RIP”), and all employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) retirement savings plan.
 
  •  Why We Pay these Benefits to Executives
 
Retirement Plans, in general, are designed to provide NEOs and other employees with financial security after retirement. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan, the RIP, offers benefits to employees that are more particularly detailed in the narrative accompanying the Pension Benefits Table. Additionally, we provide matching contributions and an automatic contribution under the 401(k) Plan, for all employees, including the NEOs. However, due to Code limits on the amount of compensation that may be recognized for tax-qualified retirement plans, certain NEOs were unable to make the full amount of contributions to the 401(k) Plan and the amount of their total pay that is included in the calculation of their pension benefit is limited. Therefore, we offer the F.N.B. Corporation ERISA Excess Retirement Plan and the F.N.B. Corporation Lost Match Plan to allow any affected employee to receive the full benefit intended by the qualified retirement plans.
 
In addition to those plans, we previously provided to some senior executives, including Messrs. Gurgovits, Lilly and Guerrieri, a supplemental executive retirement plan, called the Basic Retirement Plan (“BRP”), which supplements the benefits provided by the RIP and the ERISA Excess Retirement Plan. The purpose of the BRP is to insure a minimum level of retirement income for the NEOs and other senior officers who participate in the plan. We closed the BRP to new participants and ceased future accruals for all participants effective December 31, 2008. We believe post-retirement compensation is necessary to attract and retain talented executives and that our post-retirement benefits are competitive in the industry and provide NEOs appropriate retirement benefits.
 
We provide severance and change in control payments through employment contracts that provide additional security for our NEOs. We determined that the continued retention of the services of the NEOs on a long-term basis fosters stability of senior management through retention of well-qualified officers. The Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control tables and accompanying narrative detail the NEOs’ employment contracts.
 
  •  How We Determine the Amount to Pay
 
The RIP benefit is determined by a precise formula set forth in the plan document and explained in the narrative accompanying the Pension Benefits Table. The ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan and ERISA Excess Retirement Plan benefit formulas are based upon the specific opportunity or amount lost by the NEO, or other participant, due to Code limits and are more fully detailed in the Pension Benefits Table and narrative. The benefit under the BRP is a monthly benefit equal to a target benefit percentage based on years of service at retirement and a designated tier as determined by the Committee and detailed in the narrative

accompanying the Pension Benefits table. We do not grant extra years of credited service under any of our qualified or non-qualified plans. The termination and change in control benefits for NEOs were set by contract and are described more fully in the Potential Termination and Change in Control Payments tables and in the narrative accompanying the Summary Compensation Table.
 
  •  Relation of these Benefits to Other Components of Compensation
 
Retirement benefits are directly linked to the amount of the NEO’s total pay which includes base salary and annual incentive compensation. Similarly, while the NEO’s termination benefits are determined under their respective employment agreements, generally, termination benefits are a product of base compensation and in the case of Mr. Lilly, his annual bonus, if any. Mr. New’s contract provided for any bonus payment to be used in calculating severance; however, at the time of his departure from the Company he had not received any bonus.
 
Other Benefits and Perquisites
 
The NEOs participate in a wide array of benefit plans that are generally available to all employees of the Company, including the RIP and 401(k) Plan. Benefits primarily consist of participation in the Company’s defined benefit, defined contribution and health and welfare benefit plans. In addition, some of the NEOs receive perquisites in the form of club membership dues, a company car and other perquisites more particularly detailed as part of the “2009 Summary Compensation Table” and accompanying narrative. We provide club membership dues to certain NEOs in order to provide them with the ability to entertain customers, potential customers and various business contacts, which is an integral part of our industry. Similarly, we provide certain NEOs a company car for purposes of appropriate transportation for entertainment of customers, vendors and business contacts and traveling between our facilities. These perquisites are detailed in the “2009 Summary Compensation Table”.
 
Additionally, as set forth in the narrative accompanying the Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control table, Mr. Gurgovits previously entered into a post-employment consulting agreement with the Company. Mr. Gurgovits will also receive deferred compensation under the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Agreement as more particularly detailed in the narrative accompanying the Pension Benefits table.
 
Tax and Accounting Treatment of Compensation
 
Section 162(m) of the Code limits the deductibility of the compensation in excess of one million dollars paid to the CEO, CFO and the three most highly compensated executive officers other than the CEO and CFO, unless such compensation qualifies as “performance-based compensation.” Performance Awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units and annual incentive compensation granted under our 2007 Plan are intended to meet the performance-based compensation exception to the annual one million dollar limitation. However, any financial institution that participated in the United States Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) may not deduct any compensation in excess of $500,000 for any NEO during the period the institution participated in the CPP. On January 9, 2009, we issued Preferred Securities to the United States Treasury (“UST”) under the CPP program. Subsequently, we repaid the UST on September 9, 2009. Therefore, we may not deduct any compensation for the NEOs in excess of $500,000 for a portion of the year. While we are cognizant of the tax deduction limitations applicable to our compensation program for NEOs, we may set compensation levels outside the deduction limitations if we deem the amount of compensation appropriate.
 
Other provisions of the Code also can affect our compensation decisions. Under Code Section 280G, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) imposes a 20% excise tax upon NEOs and other executive officers who receive “excess” payments upon a change in control of the Company to the extent the payments received by them exceed an amount approximating three times their average compensation determined by a five-year average, referred to as the Base Amount. If payments exceed the limit, the excise tax applies to all payments equal to or exceeding the Base Amount. We also could lose our tax deduction for “excess” payments.
 
 
 ‡ As noted in the Retirement and Other Post-Employment Benefits Section, the RIP is closed for employees hired after January 1, 2008.

In addition, Section 409A of the Code provides for a punitive tax on executives with respect to various features of deferred compensation arrangements mostly for compensation deferred on or after January 1, 2005. We have made the appropriate changes to our non-qualified retirement plans and employment agreements to help ensure there are no adverse effects on us or our executive officers as a result of Section 409A. We do not expect these changes to have a material tax or financial consequence on us.
 
As discussed above, we have calculated and discussed with the Committee the tax impact to us and the executives of each of its cash and equity compensation awards and agreements. We also calculate and monitor the accounting expense related to equity-based compensation using the guidance of ASC (Account Standards Codification) Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation.

(2) While Mr. Delie and Ms. Lowrey were employees of the Company in 2007, neither was an executive officer until 2008. Additionally, Mr. Guerrieri was an executive officer of the Company in 2007 and 2008; however based on his level of compensation in 2007 and 2008, we were not required to include him in our proxy statement until 2009. Therefore, we have not reported their respective compensation for three full years.
 
(3) Payments under the Company’s annual incentive plan are reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column instead of in the Bonus column, in accordance with SEC requirements.
 
(4) The restricted stock award amounts shown in this table represent the dollar amount of awards granted during the fiscal year determined pursuant to ASC Topic 718. Assumptions used in the calculation of this amount are included in Note 17 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2010. The restricted stock awards granted under both the 2001 Plan and the 2007 Plan vest either after (i) the NEO’s continued employment with the Company or one of its affiliates for three years or (ii) the Company’s achievement of performance goals and the NEO’s continued employment with the Company or one of its affiliates for four years. Beginning in 2008, we issued performance awards in restricted stock units. The units earn dividend equivalents and are subject to the same restrictions and vesting schedule as the underlying restricted stock units. The amounts reflected assume that each NEO will perform the requisite service and we will achieve the required performance goals at target levels. The following table provides additional

All restricted stock earns cash dividends that are reinvested into additional shares of our common stock under the F.N.B. Corporation Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (“DRP”). These reinvested shares are subject to the same restrictions and vesting schedule as the underlying restricted stock. Mr. New resigned February 11, 2009, and all restricted stock and unit awards will not vest. The amount for Mr. Gurgovits also includes stock awards valued at $20,160 for service as a director in 2009 that vested immediately upon grant. (See narrative under Executive Directors in the section discussing Director Compensation).
 
(5) Amount earned by the NEO as an annual incentive bonus under our EIC Plan, based upon the Company’s performance. The EIC Plan is discussed in further detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis under the heading “Annual Incentive Awards.”
 
(6) The amounts in this column reflect the actuarial change in the present value of the NEOs’ benefit under all our pension plans determined using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in our financial statements and includes amounts that the NEO may not currently be entitled to receive because such amounts are not vested. Our pension plans are described in the narrative accompanying the “Pension Benefits” table. In addition, the change in the present value of the accumulated benefit under the Deferred Compensation Agreement between FNBPA and Mr. Gurgovits is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits assuming an interest rate of 6.2% and assuming that payments will commence on January 1, 2014, and continue for 9.5 years. We do not pay or provide above-market interest under Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans.

Perquisites Table
 
The NEOs receive various perquisites provided by or paid for by us pursuant to our policies or individual agreements with the executive. SEC rules require disclosure of the perquisites and other personal benefits, securities or property for an NEO unless the amount of that type of compensation is less than $10,000 in the aggregate.

(1) The valuation of the company provided automobiles was calculated as our current year depreciation expense for the automobile plus all costs incurred related to the automobile (including, but not limited to, the cost of insurance, gas, car washes, repairs, registration and inspection fees) less our mileage reimbursement allowance for business miles driven by employees who use their own automobile for business purposes. The amount for Ms. Lowrey represents a cash allowance.
 
(2) The amounts reported as “Other” include personal travel expenses and the cost of an executive physical for Mr. Gurgovits and the cost of tickets to sporting events for Mr. Delie.
 
(3) In addition to the amounts reported above, during 2009, Mr. Gurgovits used our aircraft for business travel and his wife accompanied him. There was no incremental cost for her accompanying him on the business trip. The valuation for all perquisites other than Company provided automobiles shown above is our actual cost.
 
The foregoing “2009 Summary Compensation Table” and its sub-tables do not include certain fringe benefits generally made available on a non-discriminatory basis to all of our salaried employees such as group health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance and long-term disability insurance, which we consider to be ordinary and incidental business costs and expenses.
 
Mr. Gurgovits entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated June 18, 2008, that expired when Mr. Gurgovits retired as of January 2, 2009. After Mr. New departed the Company, Mr. Gurgovits recommenced service as CEO; however, he does not have an employment agreement.
 
The parties terminated Mr. New’s employment agreement dated October 10, 2007, when Mr. New resigned on February 11, 2009. The agreement was for an initial term of two years. Mr. New’s base salary was set based on data provided by Mercer related to similar sized financial institutions in our Peer Group. In addition to his base salary, Mr. New was eligible for an annual cash bonus under the annual incentive compensation plan, based on performance and calculated as a percentage of his base salary with the target bonus payment being 60% of his base salary with the possibility of achieving a bonus between 0% and 120% of his base salary.

(1) The amounts shown represent the threshold, target and maximum amounts to be earned by the NEO under the annual incentive compensation program based upon our performance during 2009 assuming no limitations due to our participation in the CPP. The amounts for Mr. Gurgovits reflect participation in the plan effective March 1, 2009, the first full month after he was elected interim President and CEO. No amounts were earned for 2009. However, on January 20, 2010, the Committee awarded discretionary bonus payments to certain NEO’s in the form of restricted stock grants. The awards vest on January 16, 2013, and were as follows: Mr. Gurgovits, 12,055 shares; Mr. Lilly, 6,171 shares; Mr. Calabrese, 3,085 shares; Mr. Delie, 5,851 shares; Mr. Guerrieri, 4,001 shares; and Ms. Lowrey, 2,741 shares.
 
(2) The amounts shown represent the threshold, target and maximum amounts that could be earned by the NEO under performance-based restricted stock awards granted March 18, 2009, and September 16, 2009, based upon the Company’s performance during the four year performance period commencing January 1, 2009, and ending December 31, 2012, provided the NEO remains continuously employed through the March 1, 2013, vesting date. As of December 31, 2009, we believe that it is probable that we will achieve the performance conditions at the target level. If we meet the performance conditions, and the NEO terminates service prior to the vesting date, the program may provide partial vesting depending on the reason for termination as more particularly detailed in the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” tables. In 2009, the awards were in restricted stock units more particularly described in the Long Term Awards Section above.
 
(3) The amount shown represents the number of shares of service-based restricted stock granted March 18, 2009, and September 16, 2009, which will vest if the NEO remains continuously employed until the January 16, 2012, vesting date.
 
(4) The amount shown represents the grant date fair value as determined under ASC Topic 718, of all service-based restricted stock awards, and all performance-based restricted stock awards, assuming payout at target levels, granted in 2009.
 
(5) Mr. New resigned effective February 11, 2009, and thus was not entitled to any payout under the annual incentive compensation program. Since he was not employed on the grant date, Mr. New did not receive any performance-based restricted stock during 2009.

Participants who terminate service prior to year end are not eligible for annual incentive compensation under the program. In the event of death, disability or retirement (i.e., age 55 with five years of service) during the year or before we make payment of the annual incentive award amount, the Committee may approve a discretionary pro-rata award. The program provides for payment in the case of a change in control as more particularly detailed in the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” tables.
 
The NEO has full voting rights with respect to the restricted shares. In addition, the NEO has full cash and stock dividend rights with respect to the restricted shares; provided that (i) all such dividends shall be credited to the NEO’s account in the DRP and, in the case of cash dividends, used to purchase shares pursuant to the DRP; and (ii) all shares credited to the NEO’s account as a result of such cash or stock dividends shall be subject to the same restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the underlying restricted shares. In 2009, we issued performance awards in restricted stock units. The units earn dividend equivalents and are subject to the same restrictions and vesting schedule as the underlying restricted stock units. The program allows for accelerated or pro-rated vesting of the stock units in the case of death, disability, retirement, or change in control as more particularly detailed in the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control,” tables.
 
There are 2,754,577 remaining shares, available for awards under the 2007 Plan which represent 2.4% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. If the performance criteria are not met, the NEOs will not earn 124,505 shares in the aggregate that will then become available for issuance under the 2007 Plan.

(1) All awards were made under the 2007 Plan, the 2001 Plan, the F.N.B. Corporation 1998 Director Stock Option Plan or a predecessor plan (collectively referred to as the “Incentive Plans”), except Mr. Guerrieri’s total includes 7,699 stock options awarded for his service as an employee under a stock option plan of a predecessor entity we acquired.
 
(2) Options may be granted under the Incentive Plans with up to a ten-year expiration date and with a strike price of no less than 100% of the closing sales price of our Stock on the NYSE on the business day preceding the award date. Options cannot be transferred or assigned by a participant under the Incentive Plans, other than by will or pursuant to the laws of succession. We have not issued stock options for any year reported in the “2009 Summary Compensation Table”.

(3) Stock Awards are shares of common stock awarded under the Incentive Plans subject to a restriction period and/or satisfaction of one or more performance-based criteria, determined by the Committee. In 2009, we issued restricted stock units. Recipients of restricted stock and units are generally entitled to receive dividends, or dividend equivalents thereon and to vote the shares of restricted stock, but cannot freely trade, transfer, assign, sell, exchange or pledge the shares or units subject to the award until expiration of the restriction period. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if a participant terminates employment with us or our subsidiaries for a reason other than retirement, disability, death or change in control, as detailed in the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” tables, before the expiration of the applicable restriction period, the participant will forfeit any restricted shares or units that are still subject to a restriction and the shares will be returned to the authorized share pool for re-issuance as awards under the 2007 Plan. When restricted stock or units vest, the participant recognizes ordinary income on the then market value of the shares, and we receive a tax deduction in that same amount.
 
(4) All outstanding stock options are 100% vested.
 
(5) Restricted stock shares in this column consist of all service-based restricted shares outstanding and performance-based restricted stock awards that will vest if the NEO remains employed on the vesting date because we already have met the performance thresholds. These restricted stock shares are scheduled to vest as follows:

(1) Mr. New did not participate in the RIP since we amended the plan effective January 1, 2008, as more particularly detailed below. Therefore, he did not participate in the F.N.B. Corporation ERISA Excess Retirement Plan (the “Excess Plan”). Furthermore, Mr. New did not participate in the BRP.
 
(2) Messrs. Calabrese and Delie and Ms. Lowrey do not participate in the BRP.
 
(3) Our pension plans do not provide credit for additional years of service to any of the NEOs.
 
(4) For the RIP, the Excess Plan and the BRP, the present value of accumulated benefits reflected above were determined using the same assumptions as used for the December 31, 2009, financial statement disclosures, except assuming retirement at the normal retirement age, 65. We have assumed a discount rate of 5.85% for the RIP and 5.45% for the BRP and the Excess Plan and the RP-2000 Projected to 2014 Mortality table (gender distinct) for post-retirement mortality. The present value of the accumulated benefit under the Deferred Compensation Agreement between FNBPA and Mr. Gurgovits is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 715, Compensation-Retirement Benefits assuming an interest rate of 6.20% and assuming that payments will commence on January 1, 2014, and will continue for 9.5 years. The present value reported above is reflected as an accrued liability in the financial statements of FNBPA as of December 31, 2009.
 
The following is a summary of our qualified and non-qualified plans mentioned in the Pension Benefits table:
 
Retirement Income Plan
 
The RIP is a traditional defined benefit plan qualified under the Code and subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and until 2008 was available to all salaried employees, except First National Insurance Agency, LLC employees. Since 2008, the RIP is closed to employees who commenced employment with us or our affiliates on or after January 1, 2008. The RIP provides for benefit payments in the form


36


Table of Contents

of a lifetime annuity with five years guaranteed and provides the participant with the ability to select from several choices for the form of the annuity. The election that the participant chooses may affect the amount of the annual benefit as reflected in the Pension Benefits table. Effective January 1, 2007, we amended the plan such that the benefit is calculated in two pieces. First, for the period worked by a participant prior to January 1, 2007, (“Pre-2007 Benefit”) the annual annuity benefit is payable without reduction to participants with five years of service who retire after age 62 and is calculated by multiplying each participant’s final average base salary by 1.2% plus, if appropriate, 0.5% of the participant’s final average base salary that is in excess of covered compensation (as defined in Section 401(1)(5)(E) of the Code), with the sum being multiplied by the participants’ years of credited service, not to exceed 25 years including service through December 31, 2006. A participant’s final average base salary is calculated using the highest 60 consecutive months of base salary, not including incentive compensation, within the last 120 months of the participant’s service with us or our affiliates prior to January 1, 2007. The Pre-2007 Benefit is frozen as of December 31, 2006. Beginning in 2007, each participant’s benefit is calculated by adding the Pre-2007 Benefit to the benefit determined under the post-2007 formula detailed below. For 2007 and beyond, each participant’s annual retirement benefit will be calculated by taking the participant’s total pay earned from January 1, 2007, through the participant’s last day of employment and multiplying it by 1%. The benefit earned after 2007 is payable without reduction to participants who retire on or after age 65. The RIP provides for cliff vesting after five years of employment. Mr. Gurgovits retired January 2, 2009, and commenced receiving payments February 1, 2009. When Mr. New resigned, Mr. Gurgovits was appointed interim CEO and we suspended his benefit. In July, 2009, Mr. Gurgovits resumed participation in the RIP. Ms. Lowrey is eligible for early retirement and a reduced benefit under the RIP as she is over age 55 and has more than five years of service. The RIP provides for an early commencement reduction factor that decreases as the participant’s age approaches the normal retirement age of 62 for the Pre-2007 Benefit and 65 for the Post-2007 Benefit. The early reduction factor is multiplied by the participant’s benefit as determined by the RIP to arrive at the reduced benefit.
 
ERISA Excess Retirement Plan
 
The Excess Plan is a non-qualified plan under ERISA and is available to all participants of the RIP. Since Mr. Gurgovits retired in 2009, he commenced receiving benefits in August, 2009, and continues to receive a monthly payment under the plan. His first payment was equivalent to 7 monthly payments under the plan to account for the 6 month delay in payment required by the plan. Mr. Gurgovits was not eligible to participate in the plan in 2009 as we determined he should not be eligible to participate in the plan during his employment as a consultant. Mr. Gurgovits resumed participation effective January 1, 2010. We will re-calculate his benefit after he retires. The Excess Plan provides retirement benefits equal to the difference, if any, between the maximum benefit allowable under the Code and the amount that would be provided under the RIP formula if the Code did not impose limits on the amount of compensation included for purposes of calculating a qualified plan benefit. The Excess Plan provides the full amount of benefit that would have been paid under the formula of the RIP but for the Code limits, reduced by the amount of benefit that is actually provided by the RIP. The participant’s rights to benefits under the Excess Plan cliff vest at 100% if the participant terminates service due to death, after a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Excess Plan), or upon retirement on or after reaching age 55 with five years of service. Benefits are payable either in an annuity or lump sum, depending upon the reason for termination with payments commencing the first day of the month following six months after the participant separates from service.
 
Basic Retirement Plan
 
The BRP is a separate supplemental executive retirement benefit plan, applicable to some of our NEOs who were designated by the Committee. In 2008, we amended the BRP such that effective after December 31, 2008, there will not be any new participants in the plan and no additional accruals for existing participants. Officers participating in the BRP receive a benefit based on a target benefit percentage that is based on the officer’s years of service at retirement. The target percentages are based upon the tier assigned to the participant by the Committee. The tier percentages are as follows: Tier 1, 3.00% for each of the first 10 years of employment, plus 1.50% for the next 10 years of employment, plus 0.75% for the next 10 years of employment; Tier 2, 3.50% for each of the first 10 years of employment, plus 2.00% for the next 10 years of employment, plus 0.75% for the next 10 years of employment. Prior to 2005, there was also a CEO Tier that provided the following target percentages: 4.00% for


37


Table of Contents

each of the first 10 years of employment, plus 2.50% for the next 10 years of employment, plus 1.00% for the next 5 years of employment. Mr. Gurgovits participated in the BRP at this level.
 
If a participant was 50 years old or older as of December 31, 2002, in no event will the benefit payable under the BRP be less than the benefit that would have been payable under the predecessor plan. The predecessor plan provided for a target benefit percent of either 50% or 60% multiplied by final average earnings. The benefit payable under the predecessor plan is reduced for retirement prior to age 65 and for the amount the participant receives from social security and the RIP and the Excess Plan, assuming a full career with us. None of the NEOs who participate in the BRP are subject to the noted “grandfather” rule.
 
When a participant retires, the benefit under the BRP is a monthly benefit equal to the participant’s aggregate target benefit percentage multiplied by the participant’s highest average monthly cash compensation including bonuses, during five consecutive calendar years within the last ten calendar years of employment. This monthly benefit is reduced by the monthly benefit the participant receives from the Social Security Administration, the RIP, the Excess Plan, and the annuity equivalent of the automatic contributions to the 401(k) and Lost Match Plans that are provided to all participants who remain employed on December 31st of the applicable year or retired during the year.
 
The participant’s rights to benefits under the BRP vest at 100% if the participant terminates service due to death, disability, after a “Change in Control” (as defined in the BRP), after early retirement (age 55 with 5 years of service) or normal retirement (age 65). The BRP contains a provision for reducing the basic benefit if the participant retires prior to normal retirement but on or after early retirement age. A participant forfeits benefits in the event the participant’s employment is terminated for cause or a participant terminated employment prior to early retirement.
 
Since Mr. Gurgovits retired in 2009, he commenced benefits in August, 2009. His first payment was equivalent to 7 payments under the plan to account for the 6 month delay in payment required by the plan. Mr. Gurgovits was not eligible to participate in the plan in 2009 as we determined he should not be eligible to participate in the plan during his employment as a consultant. Mr. Gurgovits resumed participation effective January 1, 2010. We will re-calculate his benefit after he retires.
 
In addition to the above referenced plans, the Pension Benefits table shows an accumulated benefit for Mr. Gurgovits under a non-qualified deferred compensation agreement. The Board of the Company and FNBPA entered into a Deferred Compensation Agreement with Mr. Gurgovits on January 1, 1986. The Deferred Compensation Agreement provides for payments of annual deferred benefits for a period of ten years commencing upon the occurrence of: (a) retirement from us or FNPBA upon reaching the age of 62; (b) complete and total disability; or (c) the death of Mr. Gurgovits in the event such death occurs prior to retirement. During 2005, Mr. Gurgovits, intending to delay his retirement until age 65, elected to defer payments for an additional three years. On December 31, 2008, we and Mr. Gurgovits signed an amendment to the deferred compensation agreement to provide that any payments that would be made under the agreement after December 31, 2008, shall not begin to be paid until January 1, 2014, and beginning January 1, 2014, such benefits shall be paid on a monthly basis over a nine and one-half year period.

(1) Note that the amount of our contributions are also included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the “2009 Summary Compensation Table”. These contributions are not in addition to the amount reported there.
 
(2) This plan does not provide for above-market interest. The decrease in earnings for Mr. Gurgovits is due to all or a portion of the balance being linked to our stock, the value of which increases or decreases as the share price of our stock fluctuates.
 
(3) Our contributions during each fiscal year have historically been reported in the Summary Compensation Table for each year in which the NEO was considered such, and aggregate earnings during the fiscal year have historically been excluded from the “2009 Summary Compensation Table”. Additionally, the amounts reflected represent the NEO’s entire balance under this plan. All balances reflected are fully vested with the exception of Mr. Calabrese, which is 0% vested. Mr. New forfeited his balance upon his resignation.
 
The amounts reflected in the “2009 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” table were contributed to accounts for the NEOs under the ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan or a predecessor plan. The ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan provides for Company contributions, equal to the difference, if any, between the maximum benefit allowable under the Code and the amount that would be provided under the 401(k) Plan if the IRS did not impose contribution or pay limitations. Under the ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan, the amount credited to the participant’s account accrues interest at the rates set by FNBPA as its highest interest rate on the first day of the year on the longest term IRA account that it offers. The benefit is then paid as a single lump sum on the first of the month following six months after the participant terminates employment.
 
Except for Mr. Gurgovits, the amounts contributed to each participant’s account is solely based upon the ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan. The amounts noted for Mr. Gurgovits also include amounts for periods prior to January 1, 2003, when the ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan first became effective. Until 2003, the Company’s BRP contained provisions similar to the ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan. Mr. Gurgovits’ participant account reflects amounts accrued under the ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan and the BRP. Mr. Gurgovits was not eligible to participate in the plan in 2009 as we determined he should not be eligible to participate in the plan during his employment as a consultant. Mr. Gurgovits resumed participation effective January 1, 2010. Until October 17, 2002, the BRP provisions determined the cumulative value in a participant’s account as though the amounts were invested in shares of our common stock based upon the price at the time we credited the participant’s account plus an amount equal to dividends that would be payable on such shares. After October 17, 2002, additional accruals in a participant’s account were based on the actual amount which the participant “lost” due to Code provisions plus the highest interest rate equal to the amount which FNBPA paid on the first business day of the year on their longest term IRA accounts. Notwithstanding the accrual methodology prior to October 17, 2002, all amounts distributed under the prior plan are in cash.
 
We also maintain a deferred compensation plan known as the F.N.B. Corporation Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). The Committee may select a group of management

employees to participate in the plan. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides participants the ability to defer into the plan a portion of their annual cash compensation, including 50% of base salary and 100% of any annual incentive compensation they would otherwise receive, to help postpone and minimize taxes while accumulating capital on a pre-tax basis until termination of employment. Participants may elect to defer their compensation into a fixed interest rate option, with the interest rate determined by the Committee. Currently, there are no participants in this Plan.
 
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
 
Our NEOs, except Mr. Gurgovits, were each a party to an employment agreement that provides for certain salary and benefits upon termination of employment under various scenarios. The agreements are all described more fully in the narrative and tables below. The tables below set forth the estimated current value of benefits that could be paid to each of our NEOs upon various termination events that will only be known at the time that the benefits become payable. The tables reflect the amounts that could be payable under the various arrangements if the event in question occurred as of December 31, 2009, including, where applicable, a gross-up for certain taxes in the event that any payments made in connection with a change in control would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. The NEOs’ employment agreements, except for Mr. Guerrieri’s, do not provide for any additional payments or benefits under a voluntary termination of employment by the executive without Good Reason or involuntary termination by us for cause. Under those scenarios, except for Mr. Guerrieri, the NEOs are only entitled to their accrued and unpaid obligations, such as salary, unused vacation, and vested benefits. The following charts contain common information about our qualified and non-qualified plans and policies, as well as assumptions used by us in arriving at the amounts contained in the table. To the extent the information is common, it is contained in the endnotes to the final “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” table and are indicated by letters.

(1) In the event that we terminate Mr. Gurgovits’ employment without cause (including in connection with a change in control) or if he terminates his employment for “Good Reason,” he is entitled to receive his annual consulting fee for the remaining term of his consulting agreement, as amended. In the event of disability, the amount above reflects the amount we would owe Mr. Gurgovits under our Officers’ Disability salary continuation program. In the case of retirement, no additional amounts are owed.
 
(2) Based on Mr. Gurgovits’ age and length of service, he is 100% vested in the Company’s matching contributions under the 401(k) Plan. Upon termination of employment for any reason, Mr. Gurgovits would be entitled to 100% of the Company’s matching contributions to his account.
 
(3) Mr. Gurgovits is 100% vested in his benefit under this plan. Between January 1, 2009, and June 30, 2009, Mr. Gurgovits was not eligible to accrue an additional benefit under this plan.
 
(4) Mr. Gurgovits is 100% vested in his benefit under this plan. During 2009, Mr. Gurgovits was not eligible to accrue an additional benefit under this plan.
 
(5) Mr. Gurgovits is 100% vested in his benefit under this plan. The amounts reflected represent the cash value of Mr. Gurgovits’ account balance under this plan as of December 31, 2009. Upon termination of employment for any reason, Mr. Gurgovits would be entitled to receive a lump sum distribution of his entire account balance under this plan on the first of the month following six months from his termination of employment. In the case of a change in control that does not result in termination or his constructive termination, no benefit is immediately payable. During 2009, Mr. Gurgovits was not eligible to have contributions made on his behalf to this plan.
 
(6) Since Mr. Gurgovits has satisfied the retirement eligibility requirements if he were to leave the Company for any reason, he would be entitled to the amounts shown above. The amounts reflected above represent the present value of accumulated benefits under the Deferred Compensation Agreement between FNBPA and Mr. Gurgovits calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 715, Compensation-Retirement Benefits assuming an interest rate of 6.2%. Payments will commence on January 1, 2014, and will continue for 9.5 years; therefore, no benefit is immediately payable.
 
(7) T he Company maintains a split dollar life insurance policy with Mr. Gurgovits through a third-party insurance company. Mr. Gurgovits is the owner of the policy. However, a collateral assignment exists that entitles FNBPA to an interest in the policy equal to the total amount of premiums it has paid to date on the policy. The return of premiums will occur upon the earlier of Mr. Gurgovits’ death or his surrender of the policy. The amounts reflected above represent the excess death benefit proceeds or cash surrender value in the policy, over the bank’s interest in the policy, which will go to his beneficiary in the case of death, or to him, in the case of earlier surrender of the policy after termination of employment.
 
The primary difference between the columns “Change in Control — Constructive Termination” and “Change in Control — No Termination” is based upon the vesting provision of restricted stock awards. The restricted stock agreements provided to Mr. Gurgovits and other participants under the 2007 Plan and any predecessor plan provide for vesting of all shares issued under an award after a “Change in Control” if there is also a “Constructive Termination.” For purposes of the restricted stock agreements, “Constructive Termination” shall mean the material diminution of the NEO’s duties, status, title, reporting relationship, authority, compensation level, or responsibilities relative to those as they existed prior to the Change in Control, or a relocation of the NEO’s principal place of business of more than 60 miles.
 
On June 18, 2008, the Company and FNBPA entered into an Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement (“Consulting Agreement”) with Mr. Gurgovits. The Consulting Agreement amended the prior agreement in order to insure compliance with Code Section 409A, and became effective upon Mr. Gurgovits’ retirement and would have expired on the fifth anniversary of its effective date. However, since Mr. Gurgovits was renamed CEO after the resignation of Mr. New, we entered into the First Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement with Mr. Gurgovits on August 19, 2009, that tolled the running date of the Consulting Agreement during the period Mr. Gurgovits is CEO. The Consulting Agreement will re-commence when he retires. Under the terms of the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Gurgovits agrees to provide services to us in connection with merger and acquisition activities, participation in certain meetings and such other assignments and projects that we and FNBPA along with Mr. Gurgovits mutually agree upon. The Consulting Agreement specifies that we and FNBPA shall pay Mr. Gurgovits an annual compensation fee equal to the sum of 50% of his base salary (as defined in the employment agreement) for


41


Table of Contents

the year ending December 31, 2008, but in no event less than 50% of his 2006 Base Compensation, plus 50% of the amount that is equal to the average percentage that his bonus payment bears to his average base salary for the years ending December 31, 2006, 2007, and 2008. Moreover, the Consulting Agreement provides that Mr. Gurgovits is entitled to certain benefits, including automobile expenses, club dues and related benefits. Upon termination of the Consulting Agreement other than for “cause,” death or “good reason,” as those terms are defined in the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Gurgovits will be entitled to receive his annual fee for the remainder of the term of the Consulting Agreement.
 
Robert V. New, Jr. — Termination Payments
 
Mr. New resigned from his employment effective February 11, 2009. Mr. New received severance that included continuation of his base salary, $660,000 for eighteen months and reimbursement of his continuation of health care coverage costs under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”), less his required employee contribution for eighteen months.

(1) In the event that Mr. Lilly is terminated without cause or if he terminates his employment agreement for “Good Reason”, he is entitled to base salary continuation and a bonus payment for three years. In the event of a change in control resulting in his termination, he is entitled to three times his base salary plus a bonus amount payable immediately as a lump sum. The bonus amount is calculated by dividing the total annual amounts paid to Mr. Lilly as a bonus for the last three completed fiscal years divided by three. In the event of disability, he is entitled to the amount as set forth by our Officers’ Disability salary continuation program. In the case of termination for any other reason, Mr. Lilly is not entitled to any additional amounts.
 
(2) Based on Mr. Lilly’s age and length of service, he is not eligible for retirement; therefore, no benefit is immediately payable in the event of retirement.

(3) In the event that Mr. Lilly is terminated without cause or if he terminates his employment agreement for “Good Reason” following a change in control, he is entitled to continue to participate in our group health plan on the same terms and same cost as active employees for thirty-six months or until he first becomes eligible for coverage under any group health plan of another employer. In the case of termination for any other reason, Mr. Lilly is not entitled to any additional amounts.
 
(4) Mr. Lilly is 100% vested in his benefit under this plan.
 
(5) Based on Mr. Lilly’s age and length of service, he is 0% vested in his benefit under this plan, but would become 100% vested in this plan in the event of death, disability or upon a change in control.
 
(6) Mr. Lilly is 100% vested in his benefit under this plan. The amounts reflected represent the cash value of Mr. Lilly’s account balance under this plan as of December 31, 2009. Upon termination of employment for any reason, Mr. Lilly would be entitled to receive a lump sum distribution of his entire account balance under this plan on the first of the month following six months from his termination of employment. In the case of a change in control that does not result in termination or constructive termination, no benefit is immediately payable.
 
Mr. Lilly’s employment agreement provides for payment of certain benefits under certain termination scenarios. His agreement does not provide for any payments upon a voluntary termination without “Good Reason” by Mr. Lilly or a for cause termination by us. Mr. Lilly’s agreement allows him to terminate the agreement for “Good Reason” and obtain the same termination benefits as if he was terminated by us for a reason other than cause. Under the terms of the agreement, “Good Reason” exists if we assign Mr. Lilly a role that would result in a diminution of duties, or if we reduce his base salary or compensation opportunities, materially diminish the responsibilities of his supervisor, materially diminish the budget over which Mr. Lilly retains authority, or assign Mr. Lilly to a workplace that exceeds a 50 mile radius beyond Hermitage, Pennsylvania.
 
Mr. Lilly’s employment agreement provides that upon a Change in Control, if the acquiring company terminates Mr. Lilly’s employment, Mr. Lilly may obtain employment with a competitive enterprise, which new employment would otherwise be restricted by the employment agreement. As noted above for Mr. Gurgovits, the difference in the “Change in Control — Constructive Termination” and “Change in Control — No Termination” columns is as a result of the vesting provisions under restricted stock awards. For purposes of Mr. Lilly’s and all employment agreements, “Change in Control” means any merger or consolidation with another corporation, and as a result of such merger or consolidation, our shareholders as of the day preceding such transaction will own less than 51% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving corporation, or in the event that there is (in a single transaction or series of related transactions) a sale or exchange of 80% or more of our Common Stock for securities of another entity in which our shareholders will own less than 51% of such entity’s outstanding voting securities, or in the event of the sale of a substantial portion of our assets (including the capital stock we own in our subsidiaries) to an unrelated third party. Additionally, the agreement provides for us to gross-up any payments as a result of any excise tax imposed by Sections 280G or 4999 of the Code.

(1) In the event that we terminate Mr. Calabrese’s employment without cause or following a change in control, he is entitled to base salary continuation for two years. In the event of disability, he is entitled to the amount set forth in our Officers’ Disability salary continuation program. In the case of termination for any other reason, Mr. Calabrese is not entitled to any additional amounts.
 
(2) Based on Mr. Calabrese’s age and length of service, he is not eligible for retirement; therefore, in the case of retirement, no benefit is immediately payable. Mr. Calabrese has also received discretionary time based restricted stock awards which vest 20% each year over five years. These awards will become 100% vested in the event of death, disability, retirement or termination in conjunction with a change in control, but Mr. Calabrese will forfeit these shares if his employment is terminated for any other reason.
 
(3) In the event that we terminate Mr. Calabrese’s employment without cause or following a change in control, he is entitled to an amount sufficient to pay COBRA premiums for medical insurance for eighteen months less the amount that Mr. Calabrese would have paid towards his medical insurance if he were still employed during that time. In the case of termination for any other reason, Mr. Calabrese is not entitled to any additional amounts.
 
(4) Based on Mr. Calabrese’s age and length of service, he is 0% vested in our matching contributions under the 401(k) Plan. Since Mr. Calabrese does not meet the definition of early retirement in the plan (age 55 with 5 years of service), upon termination of employment for any reason other than death or disability, Mr. Calabrese would be entitled to 0% of our matching contributions to his account. In the case of death or disability, Mr. Calabrese would be entitled to 100% of our matching contributions to his account. In all cases, Mr. Calabrese is 100% vested in the cash dividends declared and paid on shares of our common stock held in the 401(k) Plan.
 
(5) Mr. Calabrese is 0% vested in his benefit under this plan; therefore, no benefit is immediately payable; however, for purposes of this table, we assumed Mr. Calabrese would become vested in the future based on service accrued during disability.
 
(6) Based on Mr. Calabrese’s age and length of service, he is 0% vested in his benefit under this plan, but would become 100% vested in this plan in the event of death, disability or upon a change in control.
 
(7) The amounts reflected represent the cash value of Mr. Calabrese’s account balance under this plan as of December 31, 2009. Upon termination of employment due to death, disability, or following a change in control, Mr. Calabrese would be entitled to receive a lump sum distribution of his entire account balance under this plan on the first of the month following six months from his termination of employment. In the case of a change in

control that does not result in termination or his constructive termination, no benefit is immediately payable. In the case of termination for any other reason, Mr. Calabrese is not entitled to any additional amounts.
 
Mr. Calabrese’s employment agreement does not provide for any additional benefits, other than accrued and unpaid obligations under a termination of employment voluntarily by Mr. Calabrese or by the Company for cause. Mr. Calabrese’s agreement provides for a reduction of certain amounts in the above tables after the first twelve months of payments if Mr. Calabrese obtains new employment. Mr. Calabrese’s employment agreement provides that upon a Change in Control, if the acquiring company terminates Mr. Calabrese’s employment, Mr. Calabrese may obtain employment with a competitive enterprise, which new employment would otherwise be restricted by the employment agreement, provided Mr. Calabrese releases the acquiring company from any payment obligations under the terms of the employment agreement. “Change in Control” has the same definition as noted above for Mr. Lilly.

(1) In the event that we terminate Mr. Delie’s employment without cause, or if he terminates his employment for “Good Reason,” he is entitled to base salary continuation for two years. In the event of a change in control resulting in his termination, he is entitled to two times his base salary payable immediately as a lump sum. In the event of disability, he is entitled to the amount set forth in our Officers’ Disability salary continuation program. In the case of termination for any other reason, Mr. Delie is not entitled to any additional amounts.

Mr. Delie does not currently participate in our medical plan. In the case of termination for any other reason, Mr. Delie is not entitled to any additional amounts.

Mr. Delie’s employment agreement does not provide for any additional benefits, other than accrued and unpaid obligations of FNBPA, under a termination of employment voluntarily by Mr. Delie without “Good Reason” or by us for cause. Mr. Delie’s agreement allows him to terminate the agreement for “Good Reason” and obtain the same termination benefits as if he was terminated by the Company for a reason other than cause. Under the terms of the agreement, “Good Reason” exists if the Company assigns Mr. Delie a role which would result in a diminution of duties, or if the Company reduces his base salary, or assigns Mr. Delie to a workplace that exceeds a 50 mile radius beyond Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, unless the location is Hermitage, Pennsylvania.

(1) In the event that we terminate Mr. Guerrieri’s employment without cause, he is entitled to base salary continuation for two years. In the event that Mr. Guerrieri voluntarily terminates his employment within 90 days of a change in control, he is entitled to a cash payment, equal to one times his base amount as defined in Section 280(G)(b)(3) of the Code, paid in three equal installments with the first payment to be made on the effective date of his termination of employment, the second payment to be made on the last day of the sixth month following such effective date and the third payment to be made on the last day of the twelfth month following such effective date. In the event of disability, he is entitled to the amount set forth in the Company’s Officers’ Disability salary continuation program. In the case of termination for any other reason, Mr. Guerrieri is not entitled to any additional amounts.

(2) In the event that the Company terminates Mr. Guerrieri’s employment without cause, he is entitled to an amount sufficient to pay COBRA premiums for medical insurance for eighteen months less the amount that Mr. Guerrieri would have paid towards medical insurance if he were still employed during that time. In the case of termination for any other reason, Mr. Guerrieri is not entitled to any additional amounts.
 
(3) Based on Mr. Guerrieri’s age and length of service, he is 100% vested in the Company’s matching contributions under the 401(k) Plan. Upon termination of employment for any reason, Mr. Guerrieri would be entitled to 100% of the Company’s matching contributions to his account.

Mr. Guerrieri’s employment agreement provides that Mr. Guerrieri may voluntarily terminate his employment after a change of control and receive a bonus payment payable in three installments equal to his Base Amount as defined in the Code. It was our intention when structuring the amendment to his agreement that any payments will comply with Code Section 409A. He is not entitled to any additional benefits, other than accrued and unpaid obligations under a termination of employment voluntarily by Mr. Guerrieri or by the Company for cause. Mr. Guerrieri’s agreement provides for a reduction of certain amounts in the above tables after the first twelve months of payments if Mr. Guerrieri obtains new employment. Mr. Guerrieri’s employment agreement provides that upon a Change in Control, if the acquiring company terminates Mr. Guerrieri’s employment, Mr. Guerrieri may obtain employment with a competitive enterprise, which new employment would otherwise be restricted by the employment agreement, provided Mr. Guerrieri releases the acquiring company from any payment obligations under the terms of the employment agreement. “Change in Control” has the same definition as noted above for Mr. Lilly.

(1) In the event we terminate Ms. Lowrey’s employment without cause, she is entitled to base salary continuation for two years. In the event of disability, she is entitled to the amount set forth in our Officers’ Disability salary continuation program. In the case of termination for any other reason, Ms. Lowrey is not entitled to any additional amounts.

(2) In the event that we terminate Ms. Lowrey’s employment without cause, she is entitled to an amount sufficient to pay COBRA premiums for medical insurance for eighteen months less the amount that Ms. Lowrey would have paid towards medical insurance if she were still employed during that time. In the case of termination for any other reason, Ms. Lowrey is not entitled to any additional amounts.
 
(3) Based on Ms. Lowrey’s age and length of service, she is 100% vested in our matching contributions under the 401(k) Plan. Upon termination of employment for any reason, Ms. Lowrey would be entitled to 100% of our matching contributions to her account.
 
(4) Ms. Lowrey is 100% vested in her benefit under this plan.
 
(5) The amounts reflected represent the cash value of Ms. Lowrey’s account balance under this plan as of December 31, 2009. Upon termination of employment for any reason, Ms. Lowrey would be entitled to receive a lump sum distribution of her entire account balance under this plan on the first of the month following six months from her termination of employment. In the case of a change in control that does not result in termination or constructive termination, no benefit is immediately payable.
 
Ms. Lowrey’s employment agreement does not provide for any additional benefits, other than accrued and unpaid obligations of FNBPA under a termination of employment voluntarily by Ms. Lowrey or by us for cause. Ms. Lowrey’s agreement provides for reduction of certain amounts in the above tables if Ms. Lowrey obtains new employment. Ms. Lowrey’s employment agreement provides that upon a change of control, if the acquiring company terminates Ms. Lowrey’s employment, Ms. Lowrey may obtain employment with a competitive enterprise, which new employment would otherwise be restricted by the employment agreement, provided Ms. Lowrey releases the acquiring company from any payment obligations under the terms of the employment agreement.
 
Endnotes to All Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control Tables:
 
(a) The amounts reflected in the Executive Incentive Compensation row represent the payout earned under the annual incentive portion of the 2007 Plan. We make the payout in a lump sum 45 days after the end of the year provided the participant is still employed by us on December 31. For purposes of this table, in the event of death, disability or retirement, the Committee may approve a pro-rated award. The amount in the table is based on the assumption that the


48


Table of Contents

Committee would approve the award. Since the table assumes termination of employment as of December 31, 2009, pro-ration is not necessary. In the case of a change in control, the participant is entitled to receive a pro-rated award based on the date of termination no less than his or her targeted award. Therefore, the amount shown in the case of a change in control is based on the NEO’s targeted award, not the amount the NEO actually earned for 2009. In the event we terminate any of the NEOs without cause, we do not owe the NEO any additional amount.
 
(b) The amounts reflected represent the taxable income realized by the NEOs under each potential termination scenario based on the terms of the 2001 and 2007 Plans. Under the 2001 Plan, all outstanding restricted stock awards will become 100% vested in the event of death, disability or retirement. In the event of termination or constructive termination upon a change in control, the performance-based shares issued under the 2001 Plan earned in performance periods prior to a change in control and all shares assigned to the performance period in which the change in control occurs will become 100% vested. A change in control under the awards issued under the 2001 Plan occurs when there is a merger or other consolidation which results in a 35% or greater change in the ownership of the common stock of the resulting company. Additionally, in the event that there is a change in control with no termination or constructive termination of employment, there is no acceleration of vesting of performance-based shares due to the change in control. The NEOs will forfeit all unvested awards if we terminate him or her without cause or if he or she terminates his or her employment for any other reason.
 
Under the 2007 Plan, both service-based and performance-based outstanding restricted stock awards will become 100% vested at target levels in the event of the death of the participant or upon a change in control. Under the 2007 Plan, a change in control occurs when there is a merger or other consolidation which results in a 50% or greater change in the ownership of the common stock of the resulting company. In the event an NEO becomes disabled or terminates employment due to normal retirement, all service-based restricted stock awards will become 100% vested, except that if the NEO retires in the same calendar year as we granted the award, the number of shares that shall vest will be pro-rated for the period worked. If an NEO terminates employment due to early retirement, all service-based awards of restricted stock will be pro-rated for the period worked. In the event an NEO terminates employment due to retirement or disability and we achieve the performance objectives, the performance-based shares will vest on the vesting date except, that in the case of disability or early retirement and retirement in the calendar year that we granted the awards, the shares will vest on the vesting date in a pro-rated amount based on the period worked. For purposes of these tables, we have assumed that the performance-based shares for the awards granted in 2008 and 2009 will vest at the threshold levels in the case of disability or retirement. However, the accelerated vesting provisions of both the service-based and performance-based awards under the 2007 plan do not apply to Mr. Gurgovits’ awards. The NEOs will forfeit all unvested awards if we terminate him or her without cause or if he or she terminates his or her employment for any other reason.
 
(c) Upon termination for any reason, the NEOs are entitled to an immediate lump sum payment of earned but unused vacation days. In the case of a “Change in Control — Constructive Termination” and “Change in Control — No Termination,” the NEOs would still be employed and would therefore be entitled to carry the earned but unused vacation days over for use in 2010.
 
(d) The amounts reflected represent the dollar amount of our matching contributions into the 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2009. Distributions from the 401(k) Plan are in the form of a single lump sum payment and are made as soon as administratively possible after termination of employment. In the case of a change in control that does not result in termination, the NEO would still be employed, thus no benefit is immediately payable.
 
(e) The present values reflected above for the RIP were determined using the following assumptions: benefit payments paid as a monthly annuity commencing at age 65 (except Mr. Gurgovits, whose benefit was calculated based on a five year certain and continuous annuity option and would commence immediately upon retirement), except in the case of disability where payments would commence at age 65 once long-term disability benefits cease; an interest rate of 5.85%; no pre-retirement mortality; and post-retirement mortality from the RP-2000 Projected to 2014 Mortality table (gender specific). The present values for “Retirement,” “Change in Control — Termination,” “Good Reason” or “Involuntary Not for Cause Termination,” and “Disability” were calculated based on a five year certain and continuous annuity option. The present value for “Death” was calculated based on a 100% joint and survivor annuity option and assumes that the NEO and his or her spouse are the same age. In addition, the death benefit is assumed to commence immediately if the NEO is over age 55 or otherwise, at age 55. In the case of a


49


Table of Contents

change in control that does not result in termination, no benefit is immediately payable. Note that we have shown the present value of the benefit available for consistency with the Pension Benefits table. However, the participant is only entitled to a lump sum distribution if the lump sum benefit under the RIP is less than $10,000.
 
(f) The present values reflected above for the ERISA Excess Plan and BRP were determined using the following assumptions: benefit payment paid as a monthly annuity commencing at age 65 (except Mr. Gurgovits, whose benefit was calculated based on a five year certain and continuous annuity option and commenced August 1, 2009), except in the case of disability where payments would commence at age 65 once long-term disability benefits cease, and in the case of termination following a change in control where the payment would be in the form of an immediate lump sum; an interest rate of 5.45% for annuity payments and the IRS mandated segment rates for distributions in 2010 for the lump sum payment triggered due to “Change in Control — Termination;” no pre-retirement mortality; and post-retirement mortality from the RP-2000 Projected to 2014 Mortality table (gender specific) for annuity payments and the IRS mandated mortality for the lump sum payment due upon “Change in Control — Termination.” The present values for “Retirement,” “Involuntary Not for Cause Termination,” and “Disability” were calculated based on a 5 year certain and continuous annuity option. The present value for “Death” was calculated based on a 100% joint and survivor annuity option and assumes that the NEO and his or her spouse are the same age. In addition, the death benefit is assumed to commence immediately if the NEO is over age 55 or otherwise, at age 55. Additionally, for Mr. Gurgovits, the present values for “Good Reason” were also calculated based upon a 5 year certain and continuous annuity option. Note that we have shown the present value of the benefit available for consistency with the Pension Benefits table. The participant is not entitled to a lump sum payment unless there is a Change in Control.
 
Compensation Risk Assessment
 
The Director of Risk Management (“Risk Manager”) conducted a risk assessment of our compensation programs with the assistance of the Director of Human Resources, the Compensation and Benefits Accounting Manager and Corporate Counsel. The purpose of the risk assessment was to determine inherent risks in the compensation program and each compensation plan and to identify any plan features that could lead an employee to take unnecessary and excessive risks that could threaten our value. We divided the assessment into three components: business unit review, employee incentive plans and executive incentive plans, including company wide benefit plans. We used a decision tree analysis to determine if the business unit compensation practices or the compensation plans fostered risk taking and if so, we conducted further analysis to determine if there were compensating controls or mitigants to limit the risk. Our review of the executive incentive plans considered various factors including: pay profiles, performance metrics, performance goals, payout curves, equity incentives, stock ownership requirements and performance appraisal management. We reviewed the executive incentive plans for design features that some experts indicate may have the potential to encourage excessive risk taking. Specifically, we reviewed the compensation program for the following features, among others: pay profiles that provide for low salaries and high annual incentives, the use of performance metrics that do not benefit the company over the long term, plan goals and payouts where the future impact of decisions were not considered, steep payout curves where a very high threshold level of performance is required to achieve a threshold level of incentive payout, and a heavy emphasis on the use of equity and long term incentives paid in cash. In our review of employee compensation plans, we used a decision tree analysis that considered whether each plan was incentive based, and if so, whether the incentive was material relative to the participant’s total compensation. If the incentive was material, we further reviewed the plan to determine if the plan appeared to foster risk taking. If the plan fostered risk taking, we evaluated the plan to determine whether there were compensating controls or mitigants to limit our risk. Finally, in our business unit compensation review, we assessed whether the business unit generated a materially higher level of risk to us by considering various factors about the plans within each business unit. The factors we considered, among others, included whether: the business unit carried a significant portion of our risk profile, the business units’ compensation was structured differently from our other units, the business unit was significantly more profitable than others, whether the business unit awarded a short term bonus while income and risk to us extended over a significantly longer period of time and whether the compensation expenses comprise a significant percentage of the business units’ revenues. We noted a number of compensation design features that we believe reduce the likelihood of excessive risk taking. The Committee has downward discretion over incentive program payouts; the program provides a balanced mix of cash and equity, short and long term incentives and includes meaningful performance metrics. The employee plans include performance indicators designed to measure quality control standards,

compliance results and asset quality. Based upon the risk assessment presented to the Committee, we believe our employee compensation policies and procedures are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Executive Directors
 
Executive directors are entitled to receive an annual common stock award valued at $20,000 rounded up or down to the nearest 100 shares at a price determined in accordance with the 2007 Plan. As such, we awarded shares to Mr. Gurgovits in May at the same time as the stock awards to all other directors. Since Mr. Gurgovits resumed his role as President and CEO and we have a policy that members of management who are also directors are not eligible to receive director’s fees, we deemed it appropriate to discontinue paying fees to Mr. Gurgovits effective July 1, 2009. During 2009, as disclosed above in the “2009 Summary Compensation Table,” Mr. Gurgovits received $25,000 in retainer fees, $5,764 in Chairman fees and $5,000 in Committee chair fees. The stock award is also reflected in the “2009 Summary Compensation Table”. Mr. New served as President and CEO until February 11, 2009, and did not receive any director fees or the annual stock award.

Proposal 2.   Proposal to Ratify the Appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Audit Committee selected Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books of the Corporation and its subsidiaries for the year ending December 31, 2010, to report on our internal controls and our consolidated statement of financial position and related statements of income of us and our subsidiaries, and to perform such other appropriate accounting services as our Board may require. Ernst & Young LLP has advised us that they are independent accountants with respect to us, within the meaning of standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Independence Standards Board and federal securities laws administered by the SEC. In the event a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy do not ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, we anticipate that we would make no change in our independent registered public accounting firm for the current year because of the difficulty and expense of making any change so long after the beginning of the current year, but that vote would be considered when we consider the appointment of auditors for 2011.
 
Ernst & Young LLP served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2009, we expect that a representative of Ernst & Young LLP will attend our Annual Meeting, respond to appropriate questions and, if the representative desires, which we do not anticipate, make a statement.
 
The discussion under the caption, “Audit and Non-Audit Fees,” describes the aggregate fees for professional services provided by Ernst & Young LLP to us for the calendar years 2008 and 2009.
 
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2010 (PROPOSAL 2 ON THE PROXY CARD).

REPORT OF AUDIT COMMITTEE
 
To Our Shareholders:
 
The Audit Committee oversees the Corporation’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal control. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.
 
The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with Ernst & Young LLP, its independent registered public accounting firm, who is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, the matters we and Ernst & Young LLP must discuss pursuant to Auditing Standards No. 61, as adopted by the Public Accounting versight Board in Rule 3200T including its judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Corporation’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards.
 
The Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP its independence from management and the Corporation, including the matters in the required written disclosures. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by Ernst & Young LLP is compatible with maintaining its independence.
 
The Audit Committee discussed with the Corporation’s internal auditors and Ernst & Young LLP the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Audit Committee meets with the internal auditors and Ernst & Young LLP, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.
 
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Respectfully submitted,
 
Harry F. Radcliffe, Chairman
David J. Malone

Ernst & Young LLP served as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company has been advised by such firm that none of its members or any of its associates has any direct financial interest or material indirect financial interest in the Corporation or its subsidiaries.
 
Fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP for professional services during 2009 and 2008 were as follows:
 
                                 
    Audit   Audit-Related   Tax   All Other
 
2009
  $ 825,850     $ 0     $ 146,600     $ 1,960  
2008
  $ 882,502     $ 52,000     $ 250,900     $ 6,000  
 
Audit Fees relate to the audit of the Corporation’s annual financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, review of the financial statements included in the Corporation’s reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, services provided in connection with regulatory filings including registration statements filed with the SEC, and accounting consultations related to the audit.
 
Audit-Related Fees relate to merger and acquisition consultation services.
 
Tax Fees relate to tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice services.
 
All Other Fees relate to subscriptions for Ernst & Young’s web-based accounting and auditing research library.
 
AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES PRE-APPROVAL POLICY
 
The Audit Committee must pre-approve the audit and non-audit services the independent registered public accounting firm will perform in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditor’s independence. The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services that the independent registered public accounting firm may provide. The Audit Committee will revise the list of pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm to management, but may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom the Audit Committee delegates such authority must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee annually establishes pre-approval fee levels for all services the independent registered public accounting firm may provide. Any proposed services exceeding these levels require specific pre-approval.
 
The annual audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the pre-approval of the Audit Committee. In addition, the Audit Committee may grant pre-approval for other audit services, including statutory audits or financial audits for our subsidiaries or our affiliates and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC.
 
Our Audit Committee must also pre-approve audit-related services. Audit-related services include, among others, due diligence services pertaining to potential business acquisitions/dispositions, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit” services, assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities, financial audits of employee benefit plans, agreed upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters and assistance with internal control reporting requirements. Tax services include tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice services.
 
Our Audit Committee may grant pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as “All Other” services that it believes are routine and recurring services, and that such pre-approval would not impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firms.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
 
Any shareholder who, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Rule 14a-8 of the SEC proxy rules, wishes to submit a proposal for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must deliver such proposal in writing to our Corporate Secretary at F.N.B. Corporation, One F.N.B. Boulevard, Hermitage, Pennsylvania 16148 no later than December 2, 2010.
 
Pursuant to Article I, Section 1.11 of our bylaws, if a shareholder wishes to present at our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (i) a proposal relating to nominations for and election of directors or (ii) a proposal relating to a matter other than nominations for and election of directors, otherwise than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the proxy rules of the SEC, the shareholder must comply with the provisions relating to shareholder proposals set forth in our bylaws, which we summarize below. Written notice of any such proposal containing the information required under our bylaws, as described below, must be delivered in person, by first class United States mail postage prepaid or by reputable overnight delivery service to the attention of our Corporate Secretary, at our principal executive offices at F.N.B. Corporation, One F.N.B. Boulevard, Hermitage, Pennsylvania 16148 during the period commencing on December 2, 2010 and ending on January 3, 2011.
 
A written nomination for a director must set forth:
 
  •  the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination (the “Nominating Shareholder”);
 
  •  the name, age, business address and, if known, residence address of each person so proposed;
 
  •  the principal occupation or employment of each person so proposed for the past five years;
 
  •  the qualifications of the person so proposed;
 
  •  the number of shares of our capital stock beneficially owned within the meaning of SEC Rule 13d-3 by each person so proposed and the earliest date of acquisition of any such capital stock;
 
  •  a description of any arrangement or understanding between each person so proposed and the Nominating Shareholder with respect to such person’s nomination and election as a director and actions to be proposed or taken by such person as a director;
 
  •  the written consent of each person so proposed to serve as a director if nominated and elected as a director; and
 
  •  such other information regarding each such person as would be required under the proxy rules of the SEC if proxies were solicited for the election as a director of each person so proposed.
 
With respect to nominations by shareholders, only candidates nominated by shareholders for election as a member of our Board in accordance with our bylaw provisions as summarized herein will be eligible to be nominated for election as a member of our Board at our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and any candidate not nominated in accordance with such provisions will not be considered or acted upon for election as a director at our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
 
A written proposal relating to a matter other than a nomination for election as a director must set forth information regarding the matter equivalent to the information that would be required to be disclosed under the proxy rules of the SEC if proxies were solicited for shareholder consideration of the matter at a meeting of shareholders. Only shareholder proposals submitted in accordance with the Company bylaw provisions summarized above will be eligible for presentation at our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and any other matter not submitted to our Board in accordance with such provisions will not be considered or acted upon at our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

OTHER MATTERS
 
Our Board does not know of any other matter to be presented for consideration at our Annual Meeting other than the matters described in our Notice of Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter is presented in conformance with our bylaws, proxies in the enclosed form returned to us will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of our Board or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in accordance with the judgment of the individuals designated as proxies.
 
“Householding” of Proxy Materials.  The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies. We and some brokers who household proxy materials, may deliver a single proxy statement to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares. You can notify us by sending a written request to F.N.B. Corporation, One F.N.B. Boulevard, Hermitage, Pennsylvania 16148, c/o Shareholder Relations or by calling our Transfer Agent representative at 1-800-368-5948.
 
Electronic Delivery of Proxy Materials
 
You can also access our proxy statement, Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and our Annual Report to shareholders, via the Internet at: http: //www.cfpproxy.com/5710.
 
For our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, you can help us save significant printing and mailing expenses by consenting to access our proxy materials and Annual Report electronically over the Internet. If you hold your shares in your own name (instead of “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee), you can choose this option by appropriately marking the box on your proxy card denoting your consent to electronic access or, if voting by telephone, following the prompts for consenting to electronic access, or following the instructions at the Internet voting website at www.proxyvotenow.com/fnb, which has been established for you to vote your shares for the meeting. If you choose to receive your proxy materials and Annual Report electronically, then prior to next year’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders you will receive notification when the proxy materials and Annual Report are available for on-line review over the Internet, as well as the instructions for voting electronically over the Internet. Your choice for electronic distribution will remain in effect until you revoke it by sending a written request to: Shareholder Relations, F.N.B. Corporation, One F.N.B. Boulevard, Hermitage, Pennsylvania 16148. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by that entity if you wish to access our proxy materials electronically over the Internet.

David B. Mogle, Corporate Secretary
