INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

 

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

On November 13, 2006, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of Valley National Bancorp (the "Company") approved the adoption of amendments to the Valley National Bancorp 1999 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The amendments provide that restricted stock awards and stock options for all officers at the Senior Vice President level and above will no longer immediately vest upon such officers' Retirement (as such term is defined in the Plan). Instead, upon Retirement, immediate vesting will only occur for portions of awards which are scheduled to vest in the calendar year of Retirement and the calendar year thereafter. All unvested awards that do not vest upon Retirement shall be immediately forfeited. The amendments are applicable to awards granted in November 2006 and thereafter.
