NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

A complete set of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements is a part of the Bank’s Form 10-K filed March 16, 2004. The notes below are included because of material changes in the financial statements or to provide the reader with additional information not otherwise available. All numbers in the following notes are expressed in dollar thousands, except per share data.

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Continental Corporation (the “Company”), a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Continental Bank (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, PCB Services Corporation (which owns and operates bank-related real estate) and PCB Loan Services Corporation (presently inactive). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. The financial statements include all adjustments and normal accruals, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for such interim periods. In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as of the date of the balance sheets and income and expenses for the periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2003 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures contained in the Company’s 2003 Form 10-K.

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s 2003 Form 10-K.

2. Stock Option Plans

 

The Company applies the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock issued to Employees, in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation expense is reflected in net income as all options were granted at an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the optional fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

Balance, March 31

   $ 5,260     $ 4,983  

 

The recorded investment in restructured and other impaired loans totaled $3,199 and $6,669 at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The specific valuation allowance for loan losses related to these impaired loans was approximately $687 and $362 at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively and is included in the ending allowances shown above. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $3,200 and $7,000 during the first quarter 2004 and 2003, respectively. Interest income recognized on restructured and impaired loans was $30 in both the first quarter 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, and is, therefore, susceptible to changes in local market conditions. Management believes that the loan portfolio is diversified among industry groups. It is management’s opinion that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. However, actual results may differ from estimates.

4. Self-Insured Healthcare Plans

 

The Bank began self-insuring employee related healthcare benefits during 2004. The Bank limits individual and aggregate exposure through a reinsurance program. Annual expenses associated with the plan are expected to be approximately $813 with estimated maximum exposure of $985. These amounts are not materially different from the Bank’s historical healthcare insurance costs. The self-insured liability for claims and expenses is determined using actuarial estimates and historical experience. A third-party administrator is used to process claims.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

The following discussion contains a review of Pacific Continental Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary Pacific Continental Bank operating results and financial condition for the first quarter of 2004. When warranted, comparisons are made to the same period in 2003 and to the previous year ended December 31, 2003. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements (unaudited) and related notes contained elsewhere in this report. The reader is assumed to have access to the Company’s Form 10-K for the previous year ended December 31, 2003, which contains additional statistics and explanations. All numbers, except per share data, are expressed in thousands of dollars.

 

In addition to historical information, this report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”). This statement is included for the express purpose of availing Pacific Continental Corporation of the protections of the safe harbor provisions of the PSLRA. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are subject to factors, risks, and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Important factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section of the report. In addition, the following items are among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this report: general economic conditions, including their impact on capital expenditures; business conditions in the banking industry; recent world events and their impact on interest rates, businesses and customers; the regulatory environment; new legislation; heightened national security risks including acts of terrorism and potential for war; vendor quality and efficiency; employee retention factors; rapidly changing technology and evolving banking industry standards; competitive standards; competitive factors, including increased competition with community, regional, and national financial institutions; fluctuating interest rate environments; and similar matters. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date of the statement. Pacific Continental Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in this and other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Per share data for 2003 was retroactively adjusted to reflect the 4-for-3 stock split declared during the third quarter 2003. In addition, first quarter 2003 noninterest income and noninterest expense has been reclassified to reflect a change in the Company’s method of reporting merchant bankcard processing fees to enable consistent presentation of the financial results.

 

The Company earned $1,724 in the first quarter 2004, a 19% increase over net income of $1,446 for the same quarter last year. The improvement in income was the result of loan and deposit growth, and marked improvement in credit quality, which resulted in a decline in the provision for loan losses. Improvement in these areas was partially offset by a decline in revenues generated from the origination of residential mortgages. These trends are expected to continue throughout 2004.

 

Assets and deposits at March 31, 2004 showed growth rates of 11% and 12%, respectively over March 31, 2003. Core deposits, which are defined as demand deposits, interest checking, money market account, and time deposits taken in locally, constitute 95% of March 31, 2004 outstanding deposits. Demand deposits were $123,429 or 34% of total deposits at March 31, 2004.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income is the primary source of the Company’s revenue. Net interest income is the difference between interest income derived from earnings assets, principally loans, and the interest expense associated with interest bearing liabilities, principally deposits. The volume and mix of earnings assets and funding sources, market rates of interest, demand for loans, and the availability of deposits affect net interest income.

 

Net interest income prior to the provision for loan loss, in the first quarter of 2004 increased $311, or 6%, over same period in 2003. This increase was the result of growth of earning assets as the net interest margin in first quarter 2004 fell from the same quarter last year. Average earning assets in the current quarter increased 12% from $352,413 in the first quarter 2003 to $396,051 in the first quarter 2004.

 

Net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets was 5.78% in the first quarter of 2004 compared to 6.20% in the same time period in 2003. However, the net interest margin in the current quarter declined slightly from the 5.83% net interest margin the Bank averaged for the last six months of 2003. Earning asset yields in the current quarter were 6.82% compared to 7.45% last year, a decline of 63 basis points. Cost of liabilities fell by 21 basis points during the same time period from 1.28% to 1.07%. Costs of interest-bearing liabilities have remained stable over the past nine months as the current low interest rate environment has resulted in a practical floor on rates paid for a significant portion of the Bank’s deposits.

A detailed comparison of interest income and interest expense between first quarter 2004 and first quarter 2003 shows that interest income increased by $237. Increased volume of earning assets improved interest income by $672, which was offset by lower yields on earning assets reducing interest income by $435. Also contributing to the increase in net interest income in the first quarter 2004 was a decline in interest expense of $74 from the same quarter last year. Changes in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities reduced interest expense by $19, and lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities reduced interest expense by $55 when compared to the same quarter last year.

 

The Company’s outlook with respect to its net interest margin for the remainder of 2004 is stable to slightly higher when compared to the net interest margin achieved during the first quarter 2004 as a portion of the Bank’s wholesale funding matures and can be refinanced at lower rates. This outlook is predicated on an expectation that the current interest rate environment prevails through the remainder of 2004. During the next six months, $13,000 of Federal Home Loan long-term advances with an average rate of 5.10% will mature along with approximately $8,200 in national market time deposits with an average rate of 3.70%. The Company expects these maturities to improve the net interest margin by 10 to 15 basis points during the last half of 2004, which is expected to offset potential declines in loan yields.

 

Provision for Loan Losses

 

Below is a summary of the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the first three months of 2004:

The first quarter 2004 provision for loan losses was $100, compared to $600 for the same quarter last year. The larger provision for loan losses for the first quarter 2003 was based upon uncertainties related to impaired loans, internally classified loans, and anticipated foreclosures. As the year 2003 unfolded, the Bank was able to resolve the uncertainties surrounding these loans through foreclosures and sales of collateral as well as planned exits of weaker credits. The Company anticipates the provision for loan losses for the second quarter 2004 will be reduced from provisions made during the second quarter 2003.

 

The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2004 was 1.40% of period end loans compared to 1.46% at both December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2003, respectively. The allowance at March 31, 2004 includes $687 in specific allowance (included in the ending allowance above) for impaired loans, which total $3,199. Impaired loans include $1,303 nonaccrual loans and one restructured and performing loan of $1,896. At December 31, 2003, the Company had $3,168 of restructured and impaired loans with a specific allowance of $628 assigned. At March 31, 2003, the Company had $6,669 of restructured and impaired loans with a specific allowance of $362 assigned.

 

During the first quarter 2004, the Bank continued progress with regard to certain foreclosed assets. In February 2004, the Bank sold a commercial real estate property that was carried as foreclosed assets at December 31, 2003. The sale resulted in a one-time gain of $24. At March 31, 2004, one property remained in foreclosed assets, a single-family residence valued at $371, which is presently being actively marketed.

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income decreased $288 or 21% in the first quarter of 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003. First quarter 2004 noninterest income was negatively impacted by two factors: a significant slow down in the origination of residential mortgages due to higher residential mortgage rates; and a decline on gains on sales of commercial real estate loans. Noninterest income from the origination of residential mortgages declined $234 or 53% from first quarter 2003 although during the month of March 2004, originations increased as long-term interest rates temporarily fell. In addition to the decline in mortgage revenues during the first quarter 2004, the Company took no gains from the sale of commercial real estate loans. In the first quarter 2003, sales of commercial real estate loans contributed $130 in noninterest income. The reduction in income in these two areas was partially offset by increases of 8% in account service charges and other fees and a 46% increase in merchant bankcard revenues.

 

The Company anticipates that for the year 2004 due to continued expectation of reduced income from residential mortgage originations that noninterest income will be flat with or slightly lower than noninterest income reported for the year 2003. However, anticipated loan growth and corresponding growth in net interest income will more than offset any decline in noninterest income.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense in the first quarter 2004 was $3,877, an increase of $78 or 2% over the same period in 2003. Salaries and employee benefits accounted for most of the increase, up $123 or 5% from the previous year, reflecting personnel costs for bankers added during 2003. Equipment expense and professional services also showed modest increases when compared to first quarter 2003 up 8% and 4%, respectively. Growth in these noninterest expense categories was offset by a 28% or $72 decrease in advertising expense and a $20 decline in one-time expenses related to the January 2003 opening of the KOIN Center office in Portland, Oregon.

 

The Company expects the growth rate of noninterest expenses to be well below anticipated asset growth. While expense growth is expected to slow in 2004, the Company anticipates increased advertising expense as the Bank’s new branding campaign is fully implemented, which includes the introduction of media advertising in the Portland market. In addition, the Company anticipates increased expenses related to compliance with Section 404 of Sarbannes-Oxley in terms of staff, software, and professional services. However, expense increases in these areas will be offset by anticipated declines in legal fees related to problem loans and in other real estate expense. For the full year 2003, approximately $520 in other real estate expense was recorded, entirely related to three motel properties, which will not recur in 2004.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

Liquidity is the term used to define the Company’s ability to meet its financial commitments. The Company maintains sufficient liquidity to ensure funds are available for both lending needs and the withdrawal of deposit funds. The Company derives liquidity primarily through core deposit growth, the maturity of investment securities, and loan payments. Core deposits include demand, interest checking, money market, savings and local time deposits. Additional liquidity is provided through sales of loans, access to national CD markets, public deposits and both secured and unsecured borrowings. Core deposits represented 95% of total deposits at March 31, 2004 compared to 88% at March 31, 2003. Historically, due to seasonal construction and economic activity and client payment of various tax obligations, the Company experiences a decline or slower growth of core deposits during the first quarter of each year. However, during the first quarter 2004, the Company experienced an $11,000 increase in core deposits from December 31, 2003, while last year during the same three month period, the Company showed a $5,000 decline in core deposits. During the quarter, the Company grew outstanding loans by $20,500. Loan growth during the quarter was funded primarily through growth in core deposits.

The Bank has a borrowing limit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (the “FHLB”) equal to 25% of total assets. At March 31, 2004, the borrowing line was approximately $109,000. At March 31, 2004, there was $31,000 advanced on this line. The borrowing line at the FHLB is limited to discounted pledged collateral. FHLB stock, funds on deposit with the FHLB, and loans are pledged as collateral to the FHLB. In addition to the borrowing line at the FHLB, the Bank has established unsecured overnight lines totaling $39,000 with various correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. At the end of the quarter, all $39,000 of the overnight lines with correspondent banks were available to the Bank. Other sources of liquidity available to the bank included $17,000 in funding available through the State of Oregon time deposit program with community banks and a portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio, which contains in excess of $24,000 in marketable government guaranteed loans.

 

CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Capital is the shareholder’s investment in the Company. Capital grows through the retention of earnings and the issuance of new stock through the exercise of incentive options and decreases through the payment of dividends and share repurchase programs. Capital formation allows the Company to grow assets and provides flexibility in times of adversity.

 

Banking regulations require the Company to maintain minimum levels of capital. The Company manages its capital to maintain a “well capitalized” designation (the FDIC’s highest rating). At March 31, 2004, the Company’s total capital to risk weighted assets was 12.06%, compared to 11.47% at March 31, 2003.

 

The Company’s board of directors reviews its dividend considerations so that cash dividends, when and if declared by the Company, would typically be paid in mid-March, June, September, and December of each year. On February 11, 2004, the Company declared its first quarter dividend of $0.08 per share paid on March 15, 2004 to shareholders of record on February 27, 2003. The Company expects to maintain the $0.08 per share dividend per quarter during 2004, which would result in an annual dividend of $0.32 per 0share, which would equate to a 17% increase over the prior year, when adjusted for the 4-for-3 stock split declared in September 2003.

 

The Company projects that earnings retention and existing capital will be sufficient to fund anticipated asset growth and shareholder dividends, while maintaining a well-capitalized designation from the FDIC.

FAIR PRICE PROVISION

 

Section 1. For purposes of this Article:

 

(a) An interested shareholder transaction means any transaction between a corporation, or any subsidiary thereof, and an interested shareholder of such corporation or an affiliated person to an interested shareholder, that must be authorized pursuant to applicable law by a vote of the shareholders.

 

5


(b) An interested shareholder:

 

1. Includes any person or group of affiliated persons who beneficially own twenty percent or more of the outstanding voting shares of a corporation. An affiliated person is any person who either acts jointly or in concert with, or directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with another person; and

 

2. Excludes any person who, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this Article, is an agent, custodial bank, broker, nominee, or trustee for another person, if such other person is not an interested shareholder under Section 1(b)(1) of this Article.

 

Section 2. Except as provided in Section 3 of this Article, an interested shareholder transaction must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares entitled to be counted under this Section 2, or if any class of shares is entitled to vote thereon as a class, then by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the shares of each class entitled to be counted under this Section 2 and of the total shares entitled to be counted under this Section 2. All outstanding shares entitled to vote under applicable law or the Articles of Incorporation will be entitled to be counted under this Section 2, except shares owned by or voted under the control of an interested shareholder may not be counted to determine whether shareholders have approved a transaction for purposes of this Section 2. The vote of the shares owned by or voted under the control of an interested shareholder, however, will be counted in determining whether a transaction is approved under other provisions of applicable law and for purposes of determining a quorum.

 

Section 3. This Article will not apply to a transaction:

 

(a) Approved by a majority vote of the board of directors. For such purpose, the vote of directors whose votes are otherwise entitled to be counted under the Articles of Incorporation and applicable law who are directors or officers of, or have a material financial interest in, an interested shareholder, or who were nominated for election as a director as a result of an arrangement with an interested shareholder and first elected as a director within twenty-four months of the proposed transaction, will not be counted in determining whether the transaction is approved by such directors; or

 

(b) In which a majority of directors whose votes are entitled to be counted under Section 3(a) determines that the fair market value of the consideration to be received by noninterested shareholders for shares of any class of which shares are owned by any interested shareholder is not less than the highest fair market value of the consideration paid by any interested shareholder in acquiring shares of the same class within twenty-four months of the proposed transaction.

 

Section 4. This Article may be amended or repealed only by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares entitled to be counted under this Section 4. All outstanding shares entitled to vote under applicable law or the Articles of Incorporation will be entitled to be counted under this Section 4, except shares owned by or voted under the control of an interested shareholder may not be counted to determine whether shareholders have voted to approve the amendment or repeal. The vote of the shares owned by or voted under the control of an interested shareholder, however, will be counted in determining whether the amendment or repeal is approved under other provisions of applicable law and for purposes of determining a quorum.

 

Section 5. The requirements imposed by this Article are to be in addition to, and not in lieu of, requirements imposed on any transaction by any provision of applicable law, or any other provision of the Articles of Incorporation, or the Bylaws or otherwise.

Each director will serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting of shareholders following the annual meeting at which such director was elected.

 

Section 3. In the event of an increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors, (a) each director then serving as such will nevertheless continue as a director of the Class in which he or she is a member until the expiration of his or her current term, or his or her earlier resignation, removal from office or death, and (b) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or decrease will be apportioned by the Board of Directors among the three Classes of directors so as to maintain such Classes as nearly equal as possible.

 

Section 4. No director may be removed from office without cause except by a vote of two-thirds of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Except as otherwise provided by law, cause for removal will exist only if the Board of Directors has reasonable grounds to believe that the corporation has suffered or will suffer substantial injury as a result of the gross negligence or dishonesty of the director whose removal is proposed.

 

ARTICLE X.

SECTION 3. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the President, by a majority of the Board of Directors, or the holders of not less than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding capital stock of the corporation. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to entitled to demand a special meeting is the date the first shareholder signs a demand. The Board of Directors will have the authority to designate the time and place of such a meeting. No business other than that stated in the notice of the meeting will be transacted at any special meeting.

If mailed, the notice will be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, with postage prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at that shareholder’s address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the corporation.

 

SECTION 6. QUORUM.

 

a. A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any shareholders’ meeting. If a person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, the shares held by that person or represented by a proxy given to that person will not be included for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. The persons present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough persons to leave less than a quorum.

 

1


b. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum will attend. Any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting may be transacted at the adjourned meeting if a quorum exists.

 

SECTION 7. SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD. The persons entitled to receive notice of and to vote at any shareholders’ meeting or any adjournment thereof will be those persons designated as shareholders in the stock transfer books of the corporation on the date of mailing of the notice of the meeting or on such other date as determined in advance by the Board of Directors, which date will be not more than seventy (70) nor less than ten (10) days before the meeting.

SECTION 8. VOTING OF SHARES.

b. Shares held in the name of another corporation may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors of such corporation may determine.

 

c. Shares held by a personal representative, administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by that person, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into the name of that person. Shares held in the name of a trustee may be voted by the trustee, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee will be entitled to vote shares held by that trustee without a transfer of such shares into the name of the trustee.

 

d. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares, held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into that receiver’s name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.

 

e. A shareholder whose shares are pledged will be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee will be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

 

f. Redeemable shares will not be entitled to vote on or after the date on which notice of redemption is mailed to the holders of redeemable shares and a sum sufficient to redeem such shares has been deposited with a corporation, trust company or other financial institution with irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the redemption price to the holder, upon surrender of the shares.

 

g. Shares of its own stock held by the corporation in a fiduciary capacity, or shares held by another corporation if a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such other corporation is held by the corporation, will not be voted at any meeting or

 

2


included in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time, unless under the terms of the trust in which such shares are held the manner in which such shares will be voted may be determined by the trustee, by a donor or beneficiary of the trust or by some other person named in the trust and unless such shares are actually voted in the manner determined or directed by the trustee, donor, beneficiary or other person so authorized.

 

SECTION 9. PROXIES. A shareholder may vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by the duly authorized attorney-in-fact of the shareholder. No proxy will be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

 

SECTION 10. BUSINESS AT MEETING. At an annual meeting of the shareholders, only such business will be conducted as will have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be: (A) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (B) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (C) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder. For nominations or other business to be properly brought before a shareholders meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (C) of the preceding sentence, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for shareholder action. To be timely for purposes of advance notice requirements, a shareholder’s proposal must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days in advance of the first anniversary of the date the corporation’s proxy statement was mailed to shareholders for the preceding year’s annual meeting. In no event will the public announcement of an adjournment of a shareholders meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above. A shareholder’s notice to the secretary must set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of the shareholder proposing such business, (c) the class number of shares of the corporation which are owned beneficially by such shareholder, (d) any material interest of the shareholder in such business, and (e) any other information that is required to be provided by the shareholder pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) (or any successor thereto) in such shareholder’s capacity as a proponent of a shareholder proposal. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business will be conducted at any annual meting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section. The chairman of the annual meeting will, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this section, and, if the Chairman should so determine, he or she will so declare at the meeting that any such business not properly brought before the meeting will not be transacted.

In making its recommendations, the committee may consider the unique responsibilities and duties of the chairs and committee members and may recommend different compensation levels based on committee membership and positions held.

 

SECTION 14. NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS. Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section will be eligible for election as directors.

No person will be eligible for election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section. Upon the receipt of a shareholder nomination made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws, such nomination shall be evaluated by the corporation’s Governance/Nominating Committee (or any successor thereto) in accordance with its evaluation procedures, in order to determine whether such nominee should be included in the slate of persons recommended by the Board of Directors to the Corporation’s shareholders for election at the next annual meeting. The Chairman of the meeting will, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws, and if the Chairman so determines, he or she will so declare at the meeting, and the defective nomination will be disregarded.

 

ARTICLE III. OFFICERS

Any officer or agent elected or appointed by the Board of Directors may be removed by the Board of Directors, with or without cause, whenever in its judgment the best interests of the corporation will thereby be served. Such removal will be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. Election or appointment of an officer or agent will not, of itself, create contract rights.

 

SECTION 4. DUTIES OF THE PRESIDENT. It will be the duty of the President to preside at all meetings of the shareholders and to preside at all meetings of the directors in the absence of the Chairman of the Board. The President will be the chief executive officer of the corporation.

SECTION 7. DUTIES OF OTHER OFFICERS.

Such signatures may be manual, facsimile, engraved, printed or impressed. Each certificate for shares will state upon its face all information required by law or otherwise determined to be necessary or appropriate.

 

SECTION 2. STOCK TRANSFERS. Shares of stock will be transferable on the books of the corporation, and a transfer book will be kept in which all transfers of stock will be recorded. Every person becoming a shareholder by such transfer will, in proportion to his or her shares, succeed to all rights of the prior holder of such shares. The Board of Directors may impose conditions upon the transfer of the stock reasonably calculated to simplify the work of the corporation for stock transfers, voting at shareholder meetings, and related matters, and to protect it against fraudulent transfers.

 

SECTION 3. LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. In the event a certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, the President, Secretary, or other authorized officer may, upon satisfactory proof of such loss, theft or destruction, and upon receipt of satisfactory indemnity from the shareholder, authorized the issuance of a new certificate.
