Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On June 22, 2022, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Northwest Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) agreed to certain temporary increases in compensation for William W. Harvey Jr., the Company's Chief Financial Officer, who has agreed to also serve as the interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company until a permanent President and Chief Executive Officer is named (the “interim period”). During the interim period, Mr. Harvey’s base salary will increase by $27,760 monthly, to approximately $69,665 from approximately $41,905 (the amount to which he is currently entitled under his Employment Agreement).
In addition, the Compensation Committee has agreed to increase Mr. Harvey’s management bonus and holiday bonus for the period during which he serves as interim President and Chief Executive Officer taking into account his increased base salary earned during such period and, with respect to the management bonus, the increased percentage of the President and Chief Executive Officer’s annual bonus over that paid to the Chief Financial Officer. The Compensation Committee has also agreed to make an additional equity grant to Mr. Harvey following the appointment of the Company’s permanent President and Chief Executive Officer that will reflect the period of time that Mr. Harvey served as the interim President and Chief Executive Officer. The increase in the amount of the equity grant will also take into consideration Mr. Harvey’s increased base salary and responsibilities for such period.
