The EICP is a variable cash incentive plan that is designed to motivate certain executives to achieve financial performance objectives as established each year by the Compensation Committee and to reward them when such objectives are met. Under the EICP, each participant receives a potential payment as a percentage of the base salary of the executive based on a combination of Company and individual performance as shown below:

Fox Chase Bancorp Performance Measures
Each participant’s performance is measured relative to their contribution to the achievement of certain performance measures, which include: (1) achievement of profit plan objectives, which focuses on net income, earnings per share, tangible book value per share, net interest income, non-interest expense, return on assets and equity and the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets; (2) the ability to obtain efficiencies, as measured by efficiency ratio and the net interest margin; (3) the ability to grow deposits; and (4) the ability to grow assets, which focuses on the size and growth of the commercial loan portfolio, new loan production and loan fee revenue generated. Management tracks the progress of such performance measures on a quarterly basis and shares the results with the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee can use its discretion to determine whether full weight or partial weight should be given for the specific performance measures.
The Compensation Committee also considers improvement in the long-term value of the Company through evaluating the following factors:
|
1.
|
Making sound and prudent financial and strategic choices about the use of capital.
|
|
2.
|
Hiring, developing and retaining a motivated and efficient staff.
|
|
3.
|
Making good judgments about risk and pricing of products.
|
|
|
|
|
4.
|
Building high quality earnings.
|
Individual Performance Measures
In addition to the Company performance measures above, each EICP participant has subjective individual performance measures that reflect required contributions specific to their functional area. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines whether a participant has achieved his individual performance measures for the 2012 plan year.
The 2012 Individual Performance Measures are as follows:
