On January 19, 2006, the Board of Directors of Mercantile Bank Corporation ("Mercantile") adopted, subject to receiving shareholder approval, the Stock Incentive Plan of 2006 (the "Plan"). The Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, or the Board of Directors, to grant equity-based incentives to directors and employees of Mercantile and its subsidiaries. These equity-based incentives may include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock, stock awards, and other awards based on or related to shares of Mercantile common stock. Subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments, 350,000 shares of Mercantile common stock are available for awards under the Plan. No awards can be granted under the Plan after January 18, 2016. The Plan was approved by Mercantile's shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 27, 2006. Accordingly, the adoption of the Plan is no longer subject to the receipt of shareholder approval, and the Plan is effective, as of January 19, 2006, the date on which it was adopted by Mercantile's Board of Directors. The Plan is described in Mercantile's proxy statement that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for its April 27, 2006 annual meeting.
