ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 14, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Regions Financial Corporation (“Regions”) elected to freeze the accrued benefit (“Accrued Benefit”) of O. B. Grayson Hall, Jr., Regions’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, under the Regions Financial Corporation Post 2006 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”), as of May 31, 2017 (the month in which Mr. Hall will first become entitled to the increased benefit formula under the SERP by attaining age 60). As of that date, the Accrued Benefit will be converted to a lump sum, in accordance with the applicable terms of the SERP and Mr. Hall will no longer accrue any additional benefits under the SERP. The Accrued Benefit will be credited to an account under the Regions Financial Corporation Supplemental 401(k) Plan (“Supplemental 401(k) Plan”), and Mr. Hall may notionally invest the Accrued Benefit among the investment options available under the Supplemental 401(k) Plan. The Accrued Benefit will be payable to Mr. Hall in a lump sum following his retirement from Regions in the same manner as it would have been payable under the SERP.
