Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The compensation program is designed to link compensation with performance, taking into account competitive compensation levels in similar banks and in the markets where Iroquois Federal competes for talent. The Committee targets base salaries at the 50th percentile of peer banks and weights compensation toward programs contingent upon annual and long-term performance to align executive efforts with the Company's primary goals and stockholder value.
