Items 1.01.                                        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On February 1, 2006, the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the registrant’s Board of Directors approved an executive officer supplemental bonus plan, which provides for the payment of cash bonuses to the registrant’s executive officers if the registrant attains certain specified increases in annual net income for 2006 as compared to 2005.  Under the plan, each of the executive officers may be paid an additional cash bonus following the conclusion of 2006 equal to a specified percentage of the executive’s base salary for 2006 if the registrant’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 has increased as compared to its net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 by a corresponding specified percentage.  The range of cash bonuses that may be paid to the registrant’s executive officers for 2006, reflected as a range of percentages of base salary, and the corresponding percentage increases in net income that the registrant must attain for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 in order for the executive officers to receive such cash bonuses, are included as an exhibit to this report.

 

On February 3, 2006, the registrant also entered into an amendment to that certain Restricted Stock Agreement dated as of September 7, 2005 (the “Agreement”) between the registrant and its executive vice president and chief operating officer, John P. Clancy, Jr. (the “Executive”).  This amendment, a copy of which is included as an exhibit to this report (the “Amendment”), deletes a reference to a certain salary continuation agreement between the registrant’s wholly owned subsidiary, Enterprise Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), and the Executive, inasmuch as the Bank and the Executive have not entered into any such salary continuation agreement as of the date of the Amendment.
