(e) Adoption of Senior Management Incentive Compensation Plan. On August 27, 2014, the Board of Directors of Kearny Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Kearny Financial Corp. (the “Company”), adopted the Kearny Federal Savings Bank Senior Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), effective July 1, 2014, to recognize and reward certain executives and senior vice presidents that have a significant impact on the success of the Company. The Plan is designed to reward predefined performance goals that are critical to the Bank’s profitability and growth and to enable the Bank to attract and retain key executives and officers. Awards under the Plan are paid as a percentage of a participant’s base salary, and the amount of the payment may range from zero percent, if performance goals are not achieved, to fifty percent of base salary for exceptional performance. Awards will be paid within 75 days following the Plan year end, which is June 30 of each year and after the Bank’s audited financial results are confirmed. All awards made under the Plan are subject to a clawback in the event the Company or Bank is required to restate its financial statements.
The foregoing description of the Senior Management Incentive Compensation Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Plan that is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
