Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) Following a majority vote against the non-binding advisory “Say on Pay” resolution at the Company’s annual shareholder meeting in April, and in keeping with our stated and ongoing commitment to take shareholder input seriously, our Compensation Committee has taken action to more closely link executive compensation to stock price and dividend performance.
The Compensation Committee added performance conditions to all of the restricted stock awards (RSAs) and options to purchase shares of common stock that were issued to executive officers on January 31, 2011. As originally granted, these RSAs and options were to vest ratably over four years, subject to earlier vesting upon a change of control.
Effective June 17, 2011, with the full support of President and CEO Ray Davis and the Company's other executive officers, our Compensation Committee modified these RSA and option grants, as follows:
· Adding performance vesting conditions linked to our total shareholder return, compared to the return of the KRXTR, a KBW regional bank stock total return index;
· The awards will cliff vest after three years instead of time vest over a four year period, but only to the extent that the performance conditions are met; and
· The modified grants will vest in whole or in part only if our total shareholder return achieves specified targets, subject to prorated vesting upon death, disability, qualifying retirement, termination for good reason or a change of control.
We have attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K a copy of the form of amendment for the options and as Exhibit 10.2 a copy of the form of amendment for the RSAs
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

EXHIBIT 10.1
NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Amendment No. 1
This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment”), dated as of June 17, 2011, amends the vesting provisions of that certain Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement, dated January 31, 2011 (the “Option Agreement”), by and between Umpqua Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) and Raymond P. Davis (“Optionee”), pursuant to the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Amendment shall have the meanings as defined in the Option Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Option Agreement provides the Optionee the right to purchase up to 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share of $10.97 subject to the terms of the Option Agreement and the Plan including time-based vesting conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Committee, with the full support of the Optionee, desires to modify the Option Agreement in respect of all 75,000 shares to amend the vesting schedule to link the vesting conditions to the Company’s shareholder return;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by all parties, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. The Vesting Schedule attached to the Option Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:
NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Vesting Schedule
Performance-Based and Accelerated Vesting. Under the Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement to which this Vesting Schedule is attached, Option Shares shall vest and the Option may be exercised only as to the number of Option Shares in accordance with the following provisions:
A. For the purposes of this Vesting Schedule, the terms below have the following meanings:
“Final Closing Price” means in the case of the Company the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock, and in the case of the KRXTR the closing price of the KRXTR (symbol “KRXTR”).
“Initial Closing Price” means, in the case of the Company $10.97, and in the case of the KRXTR $70.51 (using the symbol “KRXTR”).
“KRXTR” means the KBW Regional Banking Total Return Index, or such other similar index as selected by the Committee should the KBW Regional Banking Total Return Index cease to be available.
“Retirement” means termination of employment after becoming eligible for retirement by reaching age 62 and having 5 years of continuous service.
| NQSO Amendment No. 1 | Page 1 of 3 |
“TSR” means the cumulative total shareholder return as measured by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the TSR Period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Initial Closing Price and the Final Closing Price, by the Initial Closing Price.
“TSR Performance” compares the Company’s TSR to the KRXTR TSR, each converted into a fixed investment, stated in dollars, assuming $100.00 was invested at the Initial Closing Price at the commencement of TSR Period.
TSR Performance, for the purposes of determining vesting, is the quotient resulting from dividing Company TSR Performance by KRXTR TSR Performance.
Company TSR Performance and KRXTR TSR Performance are calculated in the same manner as the performance of the Company’s common stock in the Stock Performance Graph presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as required by Item 201(e) of SEC Regulation S-K except that the measurement period is three years for the purposes of this Agreement and five years for the Stock Performance Graph.
“TSR Period” means the three-year period ending on January 31, 2014.
B. The vesting of Option Shares shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of a performance vesting requirement based on TSR Performance. Unless earlier vested in accordance with Sections C and D of this Vesting Schedule, Option Shares shall become vested, provided Optionee is employed by the Company at the end of the TSR Period and upon the written certification by the Committee, or its delegate, of the achievement of the performance goal of TSR Performance, in accordance with the applicable Vesting Percentage specified for TSR Performance in the following schedule:
|
TSR Performance |
|
Vesting Percentage |
|
Lower than 60%
|
|
0% |
|
60% |
|
25%
|
|
between 60% and 100% |
|
**
|
|
100% (the Company TSR Performance equals or exceeds the KRX TSR Performance) |
|
100% |
|
|
|
|
|
** When TSR Performance is between 60% and 100%, such results will be interpolated on a straight-line basis to determine the applicable vesting percentage. For example, 80% TSR Performance represents the midpoint of TSR Performance and would result in the midpoint of the Vesting Percentage, or 62.5%. | ||
| NQSO Amendment No. 1 | Page 2 of 3 |
C. Notwithstanding Section B of this Vesting Schedule, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Transaction, all unvested Option Shares shall vest as of the effective date of the Change of Control Transaction.
D. Notwithstanding Section B of this Vesting Schedule, upon Retirement by the Optionee, death or Disability of the Optionee, or a termination of employment by the Optionee for “good reason” (as defined in the Optionee’s Employment Agreement with the Company) prior to the end of the TSR Period, a percentage of the unvested Option Shares, rounded to the nearest whole share, shall vest as of the date of such termination and become exercisable, with such percentage equal to the number of months of service by the Optionee during the TSR Period divided by 36.
2. This award of Nonqualified Stock Options is subject to forfeiture or “clawback” to the extent required by law or pursuant to such forfeiture or clawback policy as may be adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors or the Committee from time to time, which policy may include any requirement to reimburse the Company for all or any portion of any award, terminate any outstanding, unexercised, unexpired or unpaid award, rescind any exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to an award or recapture any shares (whether restricted or unrestricted) or proceeds from the sale of shares issued pursuant to an award.
3. The parties agree that, except as specifically amended hereby, all provisions of the Option Agreement remain in full force and effect.
4. Optionee acknowledges that he or she has reviewed the Plan, the Option Agreement and this Amendment in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Amendment and fully understands all provisions of the Plan, the Option Agreement and this Amendment.
