CVB FINANCIAL CORP.
DISCRETIONARY PERFORMANCE COMPENSATION PLAN
2008
The CVB Financial Corp. Performance Compensation Plan is an objective driven incentive plan based on quantitative measures of performance. It is intended to recognize successful performance by the participants in the plan. Awards are most strongly influenced by return on average equity, since it is our primary criterion for results. This will be complemented by specific objectives in other areas of performance, which are most directly influenced by the individual plan participants. This performance compensation plan is discretionary and the Compensation Committee of the Board (“the Committee”) reserves the right to adjust or modify the plan as they consider appropriate.
Performance awards are governed primarily by return on average equity. Minimum, target and maximum performance compensation awards will be based on the level of success achieved during the year as outlined in the Financial Plan for 2008 on Page 2.
The performance compensation awards will be presented by February 27, 2009. An associate must be actively employed by the Company when the award checks are issued in order to receive the award. All awards will be approved by the Committee, and the Committee retains the right to adjust or revoke the plan at any time during the year.
The Committee reserves the right to 1) grant bonuses where bonuses have not been earned under the guidelines of this plan and/or 2) adjust bonus allocations either upward or downward based on their judgment of an individual’s overall contribution to the Company for the year.
