    Item 5.02 Departure of Directors of Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

     

    On March 18, 2025, the Compensation & Human Resources Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and the Corporation’s subsidiary bank, The Washington Trust Company, of Westerly (the “Bank”) approved the reinstatement of the Annual Performance Plan with certain modifications primarily to the metrics used to evaluate the Corporation’s performance. The Annual Performance Plan replaces the Executive Bonus Plan which was developed for 2024 only.

     

    The Annual Performance Plan is designed to provide an incentive to executive officers and other select employees of the Corporation to contribute to the growth, profitability and increased value of the Corporation. The Annual Performance Plan is comprised of corporate and individual components. The corporate performance component focuses on achievement of the Corporation’s pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue and return on average assets, with each metric weighted equally. The individual performance component is assessed on performance of expectations established at the beginning of the year. The Annual Performance Plan provides that participants may earn a pre-determined percentage of their respective base salaries for the achievement of such specified goals. Target incentive levels are based upon the participant’s position. Under the Annual Incentive Plan, the payout opportunity is contingent upon meeting the threshold performance levels, and thereafter varies for performance above and below the pre-established target performance levels, subject to a maximum award level of 150% of target for each participant. Annual Performance Plan awards are intended to be performance-based awards granted under, and subject to the requirements of Section 10 of the Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan. The Corporation intends that the Annual Performance Plan and all payments under the plan will be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The foregoing description of the Annual Performance Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Annual Performance Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
