PROXY STATEMENT
GENERAL INFORMATION
This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card are being provided to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Univest Financial Corporation (the "Corporation" or "Univest") for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 24, 2025 at Indian Valley Country Club, 650 Bergey Road, Telford, Pennsylvania, and at any adjournment thereof. Shareholders will also be able to attend the meeting virtually.
Copies of this Proxy Statement and proxies to vote the Corporation's common stock (the "Common Stock") are being sent to shareholders on or about March 14, 2025.
Officers of the Corporation or employees of Univest Bank and Trust Co. (the "Bank") and other subsidiary companies or employees of Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"), the Corporation's transfer agent, may solicit proxies personally and by telephone, if deemed necessary. The Corporation will bear the cost of solicitation and will reimburse brokers or other persons holding shares of the Corporation's stock in their names, or in the names of their nominees, for reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy cards and proxy statements to beneficial owners of such stock.
Attending the Meeting in Person
Shareholders are invited to attend the annual meeting in person. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or nominee in street name, you will need proof of ownership to be admitted to the meeting. Examples of proof of ownership are a recent brokerage account statement or a letter from your bank or broker.
Attending the Meeting Virtually
To be admitted to the Annual Meeting virtually, you must go online to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/UVSP2025 and enter the control number that is printed in the box marked by the arrow on your proxy card. If you attend the meeting virtually, you may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website. Even if you plan to participate virtually in the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote by proxy before the Annual Meeting so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to participate in the Annual Meeting.
Revoking Your Proxy
Any shareholder executing a proxy may revoke it at any time by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation before it is voted, delivering a later dated proxy or attending the meeting in person or virtually and voting shares at the meeting. Attendance at the meeting will not in itself constitute revocation of a proxy.
Voting Information
The person named in the proxy card will vote in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder executing the proxy card, or in the absence of any such instruction, in accordance with the recommendations of the Board set forth below.
Univest's Board of Directors recommends a vote:
1.FOR the election of four Class II Directors each for a three-year term expiring in 2028.
2.FOR the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2025.
3.FOR the approval of, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as presented in this Proxy Statement.
The Board has fixed the close of business on February 7, 2025 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of February 7, 2025, there were 29,001,673 outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Quorum and Vote Required
The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in the name of a broker, trustee or other nominee and do not provide that broker, trustee or other nominee with voting instructions, your shares may constitute "broker non-votes." Generally, broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on a matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. These matters include the election of Directors and the advisory vote regarding executive compensation. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present at the meeting for determining the existence of a quorum. Abstentions (but not broker non-votes) will be counted as votes represented at the meeting for the election of any nominee for Director or with respect to any other proposal brought before the meeting.
Each holder of record of Common Stock on February 7, 2025 will be entitled to one vote per share on all business at the meeting. Shareholders cannot cumulate votes for the election of Directors. All matters of business listed in this proxy will be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of shares represented at the meeting.
Voting by Internet and Telephone
Instead of voting by mailing a proxy card, registered shareholders can vote their shares of Common Stock via the internet or by telephone. The internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders' identities, allow shareholders to provide their voting instructions and confirm that their instructions have been recorded properly. Specific instructions for internet and telephone voting are set forth on the proxy card. The deadline for voting via the internet or by telephone is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on Wednesday, April 23, 2025. If you attend the meeting in person, you may vote in person. If you attend the meeting virtually, you may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The person named in the accompanying proxy card intends to vote to elect as Directors the nominees listed below, unless authority to vote for Directors is withheld in the proxy card.

The biographies contain information regarding the person’s business experience and certain other experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills.

THE BOARD, THE BOARD'S COMMITTEES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
The Corporation's Board met eight times during 2024. All the Directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and of the committees of which they were members. While the Corporation has no formal policy on Director attendance at annual meetings of shareholders, all Directors are encouraged to attend the annual meeting of shareholders and were in attendance at the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders. The Board has established a number of committees, including the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee, each of which is described below.
All shareholder correspondence to the Board may be sent to the Corporation and will be forwarded to the appropriate Board member or committee chair. To contact any Board member or committee chair, please mail your correspondence to:

P.O. Box 197
Souderton, Pennsylvania 18964
The Corporation's Board of Directors has determined that all Directors, with the exception of Mr. Schweitzer, are independent within the meaning of the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market and SEC regulations. The Board has determined that a lending relationship resulting from a loan made by the Bank to a Director would not affect the determination of independence if the loan complies with Regulation O under the federal banking laws. The Board also determined that maintaining a deposit, savings or similar account with the Bank by a Director or any of the Director's affiliates would not affect the determination of independence if the account is maintained on the same terms and conditions as those available to similarly situated customers. There are no family relationships among our Directors or Executive Officers.

Audit Committee
The Audit Committee of the Board met five times during 2024. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee include the annual selection of the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm, review with the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm of the overall scope and plans for the respective audits as well as the results of such audits, and review with management, the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm of the effectiveness of accounting and financial controls, and interim and annual financial reports. The Audit Committee also oversees the Corporation's whistleblower process and receives quarterly reports of any whistleblower complaints. During 2024, no whistleblower complaints were received. All members of the Audit Committee are independent as defined in the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market and SEC regulations.
Todd S. Benning serves as Chair of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Benning, Connor and Petro meets the requirements adopted by the SEC for qualification as an audit committee financial expert.
The Board maintains an Audit Committee Charter and Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy. The Audit Committee Charter may be found on the Corporation's Web Site: www.univest.net in the "INVESTOR RELATIONS" section under Governance Documents.
REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Corporation's management is responsible for the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting. The Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Corporation's consolidated financial statements and issuing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The independent registered public accounting firm is also responsible for issuing an opinion on the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting based on criteria issued by the Committee on Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Audit Committee oversees the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting on behalf of the Board of Directors.
In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Corporation's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, including the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements.
In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered public accounting firm's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the firm's independence from the Corporation and its management. In concluding that the independent registered public accounting firm is independent, the Audit Committee considered, among other factors, whether the non-audit services provided by the firm were compatible with its independence.
The Audit Committee discussed with the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Audit Committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examination, their evaluation of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting and the overall quality of the Corporation's financial reporting process.
In performing these functions, the Audit Committee acts only in an oversight capacity. In its oversight role, the Audit Committee relies on the work and assurances of the Corporation's management, which has the primary responsibility for financial statements and reports, and of the independent registered public accounting firm that, in its report, expresses an opinion on the conformity of the Corporation's financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee's oversight does not provide it with an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal control over financial reporting designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee's considerations and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm do not assure that the Corporation's financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, that the audit of the Corporation's financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) or that the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm is "independent."
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm.

This approval process ensures that the firm does not provide any non-audit services to us prohibited by law or regulation.

This section provides information regarding our compensation programs for the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table in this proxy statement ("Named Executive Officers" or "NEOs") for 2024, including our overall philosophy, components of compensation that we provide, and the objectives and intended incentives of our programs.

Executive Compensation Philosophy
Our principal objective is to maximize shareholder value through the development and enhancement of the Corporation's business operations. To further that objective, our executive compensation program is designed to:
• Attract and retain talented employees in leadership positions by recognizing the importance of these individuals in carrying out the Corporation's Mission Statement, Core Values and Vision Statement: "To be the best integrated financial solutions provider in the market." This statement is critical in keeping us focused on our short-and long-term goals for the success of the Corporation.
• Support strategic performance objectives. The goal of the executive compensation program is to provide the Named Executive Officers with a total compensation package competitive with the market and the industry in which the Corporation operates, and to promote the long-term goals, stability and performance of the Corporation. By doing this, we align the interests of management with those of our shareholders and other stakeholder groups.
•Pay salaries near the 50th percentile of the market (although exact positioning varies by each individual's experience and responsibilities).
•Award cash incentives and equity incentives near the 50th percentile of the market when we meet our targeted performance objectives (although exact positioning varies by each individual's experience and responsibilities).
• Support the Corporation's management development and succession plans.
• Align the interests of Named Executive Officers and shareholders through compensation structures that share the rewards and risks of strategic decision-making.
• Require the Named Executive Officers to acquire substantial levels of ownership of the Corporation's stock to further align Executive Officers' interests with those of the shareholders.
The Compensation Committee considers feedback from our shareholders in making compensation determinations. At the 2024 Annual Meeting, 97% of the votes cast were in favor of our say-on-pay proposal. We view this as a positive endorsement of our pay practices. Even in light of this strong support, we continue to monitor our pay alignment with shareholder interests and seek ways to improve our compensation program.
With information provided by management, the Compensation Committee reviewed the design and operation of our incentive compensation arrangements for all employees, including our Named Executive Officers, to determine whether the arrangements might encourage inappropriate risk-taking that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. The Compensation Committee concluded that our compensation plans, programs and policies, considered as a whole, including applicable risk mitigation features, are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.
Executive Compensation Components
Our executive compensation consists primarily of these three components:
• Base salary;
• Short-term annual incentive awards; and
• Long-term equity incentive compensation.
As is customary in our industry, we also provide modest levels of perquisites, described later, to our Named Executive Officers and participation in other benefit programs that are generally available to our employees (e.g., health care, disability, life insurance, an employee stock purchase plan and retirement plans). The "Summary Compensation Table" on page 23 provides additional information on these perquisites and benefits.

CORPORATE PERFORMANCE AT A GLANCE
2024 Performance Summary
Throughout 2024, we continued to face a challenging environment as we focused on execution of our strategic initiatives. While the economy continues to be resilient, increased regulations, elevated interest rates and intense competition for deposits continue. We implemented a deposit gathering strategy which allowed us to continue to lend to our customers and grow as an organization. Despite ongoing headwinds, we were able to outperform our peers in many areas. This was largely due to our diversified lines of business, which allow us to provide a variety of meaningful solutions for our customers and deepen relationships. We’ve made a lot of investments over the past few years in both people and technology. During the year, we focused on implementation to ensure we are getting a strong return on those investments. We executed change aimed at being more efficient, productive and profitable as an organization. In addition to paying quarterly dividends, we were active with stock buybacks over the course of the year and repurchased more than 800,000 shares of stock while still growing our tangible book value. We also continued to focus on prudently managing expenses.
•Financial Performance:
•Return on average assets of 0.96%
•Return on average shareholders' equity of 8.85%
•Efficiency ratio of 65.7%
•Pre-tax pre-provision income less net charge-offs ("PTPP-NCO") of $97.4 million, which increased 3.6% compared to 2023
•4.0% decrease in net interest income compared to 2023; due to the challenging interest rate environment
•14.6% increase in noninterest income compared to 2023; continues to show the strength of our diversified business model
•0.3% increase in noninterest expense compared to 2023; reflects the continued benefit of the various expense reduction strategies we deployed during 2023 and our ongoing commitment to prudent expense management
•Organic loan growth of $259.4 million, or 3.9%
•Deposit growth of $383.5 million, or 6.0%
•Grew tangible common equity book value per share $2.02, or 9.0%
•Repurchased 802,535 shares representing 2.8% of shares outstanding at December 31, 2024
•Diluted earnings per share increased $0.17 per share, or 7.1%
•Strong asset quality with nonperforming assets to assets of 0.41% and net charge-offs to average loans and leases of 0.06%
•Other Notable Accomplishments
•As part of our ongoing strategy to expand our product offerings, we began to support instant payments in a "receive only" fashion through the Automated Clearing House Real Time Payments product. Additionally, we launched a second "receive only" instant payment solution, the Federal Reserve’s Fed Now product, to further meet customer needs.
•We renegotiated and renewed our contract with our core system provider, Jack Henry and Associates. The renewal generated significant long-term savings for the Bank and defines important service level standards to ensure we continue to deliver exceptional service to our customers.
•To support our dedication to cultivating a culture of operational excellence and enhancing our workforce's skills to better serve our customers, 18 employees from various departments across Univest completed a Lean Six Sigma training program. These individuals are currently undergoing certification and will be instrumental in driving continuous improvement and increasing operational efficiencies.
•The Innovative Technologies Committee (ITC) was established to serve as a research-and-development function for Univest. The ITC is comprised of technology leaders who regularly meet with Univest's lines of business to evaluate new technology opportunities to better serve the company and our customers. Effective and responsible use of artificial intelligence is one focus for the ITC.
•Using technologies we have invested in over the past few years, we were able to look at real-time results and leverage key information about customer preferences to refine our online offerings for small businesses. This led to adding the ability for small businesses to digitally open checking accounts and apply for financing at the same time. This provided convenience for our customers and increased our competitive stance in the markets we serve.
•We also leveraged past investments to expand the use of our online scheduling tool. Wealth clients and prospects are now able to make an appointment with an advisor directly on the website, which provides additional convenience and accessibility. As we continue to advance our capabilities for engagement on our website, we are focused on analytics, search engine optimization and cultivating marketing insights to personalize experiences.
•We introduced the Trusted Advisors in Action program, an internal training program to engage and empower our frontline team members. The program focuses on reinforcing strong sales and conversation skills so we can approach prospects and customers in a thoughtful, value-focused manner that drives full customer relationships.
•We established Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) for women and people of color. These groups have significantly contributed to employee engagement. During the year, the groups hosted in-person networking events, offered volunteer opportunities and provided virtual sessions aimed at fostering open, honest conversation and encouraging professional and personal development.
COMPENSATION CONSULTANT AND PEER GROUP
The Compensation Committee considers the decision-making responsibilities, experience, work performance, achievement of key goals, and team-building skills of each position as the most important factors in its annual reviews. To help quantify these measures, the Compensation Committee has enlisted the assistance of an independent compensation consultant.
The Compensation Committee engaged McLagan, a part of the Human Capital Solutions practice of Aon plc, to assist it in reviewing its executive and director compensation programs for 2024. McLagan is an independent compensation consulting firm that reports directly to the Compensation Committee. The analysis provided by McLagan for 2024 includes, but is not limited to, an assessment of the Univest executive and director compensation programs compared to its peers, development of total cash compensation opportunities (base salary and cash incentives) and a review of the Corporation's short- and long-term incentive arrangements (cash and equity). The analysis provides the Compensation Committee with a broad array of information from which to assess the effectiveness of our compensation programs and serves as a foundation for future compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee considered the independence of McLagan in light of SEC rules and
NASDAQ listing standards. The Compensation Committee requested and received a report from McLagan addressing its independence, including the following factors: (i) other services provided to us by McLagan; (ii) fees paid by us as a percentage of Aon's total revenue; (iii) policies or procedures maintained by McLagan that are designed to prevent a conflict of interest; (iv) any business or personal relationships between the consultants and members of the Compensation Committee; (v) any Corporation stock owned by the consultants; and (vi) any business or personal relationships between our Named Executive Officers and the consultants. The Compensation Committee discussed other considerations and concluded that the work performed by McLagan did not raise any conflict of interest.
In determining compensation for our Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee uses market information from a peer group. The Compensation Committee engaged McLagan in mid-2023 to identify a peer group of comparable financial institutions and provide the market information for that peer group that the Compensation Committee would use in making decisions with respect to the compensation for our Named Executive Officers for 2024. The Corporation's 2024 peer group was developed based on a balanced assessment across a range of criteria, including total revenue, asset size, business model, and geographic location. The resulting 2024 peer group consisted of the following 21 financial institutions, which was unchanged from the peer group that was adopted in the prior year:
| | | | | | | | |
1st Source Corp. | | Park National Corp. |
| Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. | | Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corp. |
| Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. | | Peoples Bancorp, Inc. |
| Financial Institutions, Inc. | | QCR Holdings, Inc. |
| First Busey Corp. | | S&T Bancorp, Inc. |
| First Commonwealth Financial | | Sandy Spring Bancorp, Inc. |
| First Mid Bancshares, Inc. | | Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. |
German American Bancorp, Inc. | | Tompkins Financial Corporation |
| Lakeland Financial Corp. | | Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. |
| Midland States Bancorp, Inc. | | WSFS Financial Corp. |
| NBT Bancorp, Inc. | | |
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION OF MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
The Chief Executive Officer provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee on any adjustments to base salary for the Named Executive Officers, other than himself. Following this process, in December 2023, the Compensation Committee met and reviewed the performance of the named executive officers with the Chief Executive Officer, after which the Compensation Committee determined the adjustments for the other named executive officers' base salary for 2024.
The Compensation Committee also met in executive session without the Chief Executive Officer present and discussed his base salary, after which the Committee recommended, and the full Board (with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer) approved, his adjusted salary. The Chief Executive Officer did not participate in the discussions about his salary. Any adjustments were based on each individual's performance and level of responsibility, in addition to the market compensation data for peer group companies provided by McLagan.
In addition to making recommendations on individual base salary adjustments, the Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee on compensation-related performance metrics and performance goals, and target annual incentive and long-term compensation levels for the other executive officers. While the Committee considers the Chief Executive Officer's recommendations, it makes all compensation decisions independently after also considering McLagan's recommendations.
BASE SALARY COMPENSATION FOR 2024
The Compensation Committee annually examines market compensation levels and trends observed in the labor market. For its purposes, the Compensation Committee has defined the labor market as the pool of executive officers who are currently employed in similar positions at the companies within our Peer Group similar to the Corporation in both size (primarily on the basis of total revenue) and scope of operation, with special emphasis placed on salaries paid by companies in the banking industry. Market information is used as a frame of reference for annual salary adjustments and starting salaries.
Base salaries are determined by considering the experience, performance, and responsibilities of the individual Named Executive Officer, and in alignment with our Compensation Philosophy, are competitive with the median (50th percentile) of our peer group. Base salaries are generally adjusted annually and are in effect for the period January 1 through December 31.
Below outlines the increases in base salary compensation for 2024 approved by the Compensation Committee (and by the Board of Directors for CEO Jeffrey M. Schweitzer):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Executive | | 2024 ($) | | 2023 ($) | | Base Salary Increase |

ANNUAL INCENTIVES
The Corporation maintains a non-equity annual incentive plan to encourage the Named Executive Officers to achieve annual financial objectives and to reward them upon such achievement. The weighted financial measures and related targets for the plan are set in the preceding fiscal year by the Compensation Committee. The annual incentive program for Messrs. Schweitzer, Richardson, Keim and McCormick and Ms. Santana consists of cash bonuses based 80% on meeting annual Corporation performance goals (adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income ("adjusted PTPP"), adjusted PTPP return on average equity, adjusted efficiency ratio, non-performing assets to total assets and net charge-offs/average loans and leases) and 20% on individual performance to reinforce the critical focus of our Named Executive Officers on certain annual objectives that have significant impact on our long-term performance strategy. The Compensation Committee selected these metrics as they link compensation to corporate performance with an emphasis on the overall profitability and credit quality of the Corporation. The payout under the Annual Incentive Compensation Plan occurs during March following the performance year.
The Annual Incentive Compensation Plan provided for payouts based on actual results compared to target as detailed in the table below. The first three columns of the table provide the annual incentive payout target range for the Named Executive Officer, as a percentage of base salary, based on performance as compared to target. The fourth column of the table provides the annual incentive payout for each of the Named Executive Officers at 100% of their target. The fifth and sixth columns of the table provide the actual incentive award paid for 2024 as a percentage of base salary and actual dollar amount. The 2024 payout was interpolated based on actual results compared to threshold, target and optimum.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Executive | | Threshold (Paid at 40% of Target) | | Target Achieve 100% of Target | | Optimum (Paid at 150% of Target ) | | Target Award ($) | | Actual Award (%) of Base Salary | | Actual Award ($) |
| Jeffrey M. Schweitzer | | 24.0% | | 60.0% | | 90.0% | | 483,600 | | 65.5% | | 528,061 |
| Brian J. Richardson | | 16.0% | | 40.0% | | 60.0% | | 177,200 | | 43.7% | | 193,492 |
| Michael S. Keim | | 16.0% | | 40.0% | | 60.0% | | 213,200 | | 43.7% | | 232,801 |
| Megan D. Santana | | 16.0% | | 40.0% | | 60.0% | | 150,000 | | 43.7% | | 163,791 |
| Patrick C. McCormick | | 14.0% | | 35.0% | | 52.5% | | 140,000 | | 38.2% | | 152,871 |
Before the start of 2024, the Committee set target performance for the financial goals at levels it considered challenging with a reasonable likelihood of being achieved and that represented strong levels of performance based on the Corporation's business outlook, estimated general economic conditions, and our budget for 2024, which was approved by the Board in December 2023. Optimum levels were established at levels so that such amount would be earned only if the Corporation's actual performance significantly exceeded forecasted performance.
The Corporation's financial targets set by the Compensation Committee for 2024 along with the actual results for the Annual Incentive Compensation component of executive compensation were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Performance Metric | | Goal Weight (1) | | Threshold | | Target (Plan) | | Optimum | | Actual | | Achievement (% of Target) | | Weighted Corporate Performance Award (% of Target) |
Adjusted PTPP (2) (3) | | 25.0% | | $77,016 | | $96,270 | | $115,524 | | $97,627 | | 103.5% | | 32.4% |
Adjusted PTPP Return on Average Equity (2) (3) | | 15.0% | | 9.20% | | 11.50% | | 13.80% | | 11.38% | | 96.9% | | 18.2% |
Adjusted Efficiency Ratio (2) (3) | | 15.0% | | 70.2% | | 67.7% | | 65.2% | | 66.5% | | 124.5% | | 23.3% |
Relative NPAs to Total Assets (4) | | 15.0% | | 0.68% | | 0.43% | | 0.18% | | 0.45% | | 97.2% | | 18.2% |
Relative Net Charge-offs/Average Loans and Leases (5) | | 10.0% | | 0.24% | | 0.16% | | 0.08% | | 0.06% | | 155.3% | | 19.4% |
| Total Corporate Performance | | 80.0% | | | | | | | | | | | | 111.5% |
(1) Represents percentage of individual's total target incentive compensation award.
(2) Adjusted to exclude the income statement impact of the sale of mortgage servicing rights in the first quarter of 2024 and BOLI death benefit claims received in 2024. These adjustments were approved by the Compensation Committee as they were not considered when the original Target (Plan) was established in December 2023.
(3) Threshold and Target for Adjusted PTPP, Adjusted PTPP Return on Average Equity and Adjusted Efficiency Ratio for 2024 were established lower than 2023 actuals due to certain factors, including the projected interest rate environment and deposit competition.
(4) Performance for the NPAs to Total Assets metric is measured relative to a peer group of Mid-Atlantic banks with total assets between $5 billion and $30 billion. The Target (Plan) performance level shown in the table above reflects the median of the peer group, while Threshold and Optimum are set equal to 25 basis points above and below this Target (Plan) level, respectively. Peer group and the Corporation's data are measured as of September 30, 2024.
(5) Performance for the Net Charge-offs/Average Loans and Leases metric is measured relative to a peer group of Mid-Atlantic banks with total assets between $5 billion and $30 billion. The Target (Plan) performance level shown in the table above reflects the average of the peer group, while Threshold and Optimum are set equal to 50% below and above this Target (Plan) level, respectively. Peer group and the Corporation's data are measured for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2024.
The individual performance component is recommended by the Chief Executive Officer or the Compensation Committee, as applicable. When considering the recommendations, the Compensation Committee considers the individual's contribution to achievement of strategic initiatives critical to the Corporation's performance for the applicable fiscal year and beyond. For 2024, the Compensation Committee determined the individual performance component for Messrs. Schweitzer, Richardson, Keim and McCormick and Ms. Santana should be paid out at Target.
As a result of corporate performance (paid out at 111.5% of the original payout target) and the individual performance component, an aggregate cash bonus was paid to each Named Executive Officers at 109.2% of the targeted payout level for 2024.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVES
Stock-Based Compensation
The long-term incentive program consists of service-based restricted stock awards and units and performance-based restricted stock awards and units that vest based on the Corporation's performance compared to its selected peers and internally developed earnings per share targets. The purpose of the program is to further align management's interests with those of our shareholders, promote employee retention and also to ensure management focuses on the long-term stability and performance of the Corporation.
On April 26, 2023, the Univest Financial Corporation 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2023 Equity Incentive Plan") was approved by shareholders at the Corporation's annual meeting. The purpose of the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan is to enable employees and non-employee Directors of the Corporation to: (i) own shares of stock in the Corporation; (ii) participate in the shareholder value which has been created; and (iii) have a mutuality of interest with other shareholders. The 2023 Equity Incentive Plan enables the Corporation to attract, retain and motivate key employees. At the time of an award grant, the Compensation Committee will determine the type of award to be made and the specific conditions upon which an award will be granted (i.e. term, vesting, performance criteria, etc.) consistent with the terms of the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan.
2024 Equity Grants
Long-term incentive compensation consists of a combination of performance-based restricted stock units and service-based restricted stock units; 70% of the targeted fair value of the awards is performance-based restricted stock units and 30% of the targeted fair value is service-based restricted stock units. This split reflects an emphasis on long-term performance-based metrics that drive shareholder value.
Performance-based restricted stock units were granted on March 15, 2024 based on the Target level of performance as detailed below. The performance-based restricted stock units will vest on March 15, 2027, subject to the Named Executive Officers' continued employment and provided certain performance metrics are met based on the Corporation's performance compared to (i) the S&P United States SmallCap Banks (Industry Group) Index ("Select Peer Group") with respect to three-year average adjusted PTPP-NCO ROAA and (ii) the three-year adjusted PTPP-NCO target as set in the Corporation's strategic plan. No vesting will occur if the three-year average PTPP-NCO ROAA is less than 50 basis points, adjusted for one-time non-recurring gains and losses (e.g., merger charges, restructuring costs, BOLI gains, etc). The Compensation Committee selected these metrics as they link compensation to corporate performance with an emphasis of the overall profitability and credit quality of the Corporation.
Service-based restricted stock units were granted on March 15, 2024 and vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant, subject to the Named Executive Officers' continued employment.
The following table shows the vesting of performance-based awards with more shares vesting if performance exceeds the target level of performance and fewer shares vesting if performance is short of the target level of performance. The target level of performance is defined as ranking in the 50th percentile of PTPP-NCO ROAA performance compared to its Select Peer Group and achieving a targeted cumulative 2024 to 202 PTPP-NCO adjusted for one-time non-recurring gains and losses (e.g. merger charges, restructuring costs, BOLI gains, etc.) both weighted at 50%. The targeted performance level for adjusted PTPP-NCO is aligned with the Corporation's targeted strategic and operating plan for the three-year performance period.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Amount of Shares Vesting | | 50% of Target (Threshold) | | Target | | 150% of Target (Optimum) |
| Adjusted PTPP-NCO ROAA | | 35th Percentile | | 50th Percentile | | 75th Percentile |
| Adjusted PTPP-NCO | | 80% of Target | | Target | | 120% of Target |
On March 15, 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the following grants of performance-based restricted stock units to the Named Executive Officers:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Number of Units | | Grant Date Fair Value ($) (a) |
| Executive | | Threshold | | Target | | Optimum | | Threshold | | Target | | Optimum |
| Jeffrey M. Schweitzer | | 9,374 | | 18,748 | | 28,122 | | 183,355 | | 366,711 | | 550,066 |
| Brian J. Richardson | | 3,567 | | 7,134 | | 10,701 | | 69,771 | | 139,541 | | 209,312 |
| Michael S. Keim | | 5,245 | | 10,490 | | 15,735 | | 102,592 | | 205,184 | | 307,777 |
| Megan D. Santana | | 3,019 | | 6,038 | | 9,057 | | 59,052 | | 118,103 | | 177,155 |
| Patrick C. McCormick | | 2,505 | | 5,010 | | 7,515 | | 48,998 | | 97,996 | | 146,993 |
(a) Based on the closing price of the Common Stock of $19.56 on the date of grant.
The granting of service-based restricted stock units is at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and is not contingent on the achievement of annual targets described under "Annual Incentives." On March 15, 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the granting of service-based restricted stock units to the following Named Executive Officers:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Executive | | Service-Based Restricted Stock Units Granted (a) | | Grant Date Fair Value ($) (b) |
| Jeffrey M. Schweitzer | | 8,037 | | 157,204 |
| Brian J. Richardson | | 3,060 | | 59,854 |
| Michael S. Keim | | 4,497 | | 87,961 |
| Megan D. Santana | | 2,589 | | 50,641 |
| Patrick C. McCormick | | 2,148 | | 42,015 |
(a) The restricted stock units vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
(b) Based on the closing price of the Common Stock of $19.56 on the date of grant.
Vesting of 2022 Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
During 2022, the Corporation granted its Named Executive Officers performance-based restricted stock units as detailed in the following chart.
| | | | | | | | |
| Executive | | # of Target Units Granted |
| Jeffrey M. Schweitzer | | 11,538 |
| Brian J. Richardson | | 4,578 |
| Michael S. Keim | | 6,202 |
| Megan D. Santana | | 3,908 |
Patrick C. McCormick (1) | | — |
(1) Mr. McCormick was not an employee of the Corporation at the time of this grant.
The 2022 performance-based restricted stock units will settle on March 15, 2025 based on the Corporation's performance during the three-year performance period compared to (i) the Select Peer Group with respect to the three-year average adjusted PTPP-NCO ROAA and (ii) an internally determined cumulative adjusted PTPP-NCO target for the three years ended December 31, 2024, as determined at the date of the grant which was approved by the Compensation Committee. Each criteria is equally weighted at 50% of the vesting.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Amount of Shares Vesting | | 50% of Target (Threshold) | | Target | | 150% of Target (Optimum) |
Adjusted PTPP-NCO ROAA | | 35th Percentile | | 50th Percentile | | 75th Percentile |
Three Year Cumulative Adjusted PTPP-NCO | | $215,394 | | $269,242 | | $323,091 |
Actual results for the three-year PTPP-NCO ROAA analysis were adjusted for certain non-recurring items such as the impact of the sale of mortgage servicing rights in the first quarter of 2024, BOLI death benefit claims, and restructuring charges. The adjusted PTPP-NCO ROAA for the three-year period ended December 31, 2024 was 1.32%, which ranked 128th of 234 Peer Banks (that had reported results as of February 7, 2025), or at the 45.5 percentile, which is below the 50th percentile target. This provided for a vest rate of 85.0% of shares for the adjusted PTPP-NCO ROAA test.
Actual results for the three-year cumulative PTPP-NCO analysis were adjusted for certain non-recurring items such as Paycheck Protection Program loans, the impact of the sale of mortgage servicing rights in the first quarter of 2024, BOLI death benefit claims, restructuring charges, and incremental expense related to the FDIC assessment rate change in 2023. Adjusted PTPP-NCO for the three years ended December 31, 2024 was $296,953 which was above target and provided for a vest rate of 125.7% of shares for the adjusted PTPP-NCO test.
Based on the above analysis, the vest rate for the 2022 performance-based restricted stock was 105.4% and each Executive will receive 105.4% of the target shares identified in the above table.
Dividends on Unvested Equity Awards
Named Executive Officers and non-employee directors have no ownership rights or rights to dividends on unvested equity awards. Dividend equivalents for unvested restricted stock units are accrued by the Corporation over the vesting period and paid out in cash when the underlying shares are issued based on the number of restricted stock units that have vested.
RETIREMENT BENEFITS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
Deferred Salary Savings Plan
Our Named Executive Officers can participate in the Deferred Salary Savings Plan (the "DSSP") in the same manner as other salaried employees of the Corporation. Under the DSSP, on an elective basis, employees may defer a portion of their compensation to the plan.
After employees complete six months of service, the Corporation or its subsidiaries will make a matching contribution of 50% of the first 6% of the participant's deferred salary. The matching contributions vest at 50% at the end of two years of service, 75% at the end of three years of service, and 100% at the end of four years of service.
Pension Plan
The Corporation provided the Univest Financial Corporation Retirement Plan, a tax-qualified pension plan, to all employees hired prior to December 8, 2009. Effective December 31, 2009, the benefits previously accrued under the pension plan were frozen and the plan was amended and converted into a cash balance pension plan. For purposes of this proxy statement, we refer to the plan as the "Pension Plan." Mr. Schweitzer and Mr. Keim are the only named executive officers who participate in the Pension Plan. Further information on the Pension Plan can be found under the Pension Benefits Table section of this Proxy Statement.
Other Benefits and Perquisites
Compensation for group life insurance premiums, hospitalization and medical plans, and other personal benefits are provided to all full-time employees and part-time employees averaging a certain number of hours and do not discriminate in favor of officers of the Corporation or its subsidiaries.
Certain executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, receive expense allowances. These perquisites are determined and approved by the Compensation Committee under the same methodologies for and in conjunction with base salary compensation. Univest also provides certain Named Executive Officers with personal tax preparation services. These services are provided by a certified public accounting firm other than Univest's independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP.
OTHER EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
Stock Ownership Requirements
To reinforce the importance of aligning the financial interests of the Named Executive Officers with those of the shareholders, the Board of Directors maintains minimum stock ownership guidelines for the Named Executive Officers. Below are the minimum required holdings for the Named Executive Officers as of December 31, 2024.
| | | | | | | | |
| Executive | | Ownership Requirement (Multiple of Base Salary) |
| Jeffrey M. Schweitzer | | 3.0x |
| Brian J. Richardson | | 2.5x |
| Michael S. Keim | | 2.5x |
| Megan D. Santana | | 2.5x |
| Patrick C. McCormick | | 2.0x |
The ownership requirements vary based upon the category of the executive incentive plan in which the Executive Officer is placed. These ownership requirements must be met within five years of entering the plan. If an individual is promoted to a new category, the individual will have three additional years in which to achieve the new ownership requirement. Each Named Executive Officer who has been an executive officer for at least five years is in compliance with this policy. The following shares are considered "owned" for the purpose of meeting the ownership requirements outlined in the table above:
•All shares held by the employee or their spouse;
•All restricted stock units (vested or unvested);
•Unexercised vested in-the-money stock options;
•Shares held in the employee's 401(k) plan (i.e., the DSSP); and
•Shares held in trust for the benefit of the employee or their immediate family members.
Insider Trading Policy
The Corporation maintains an Insider Trading Policy (the "Policy") that applies to its Directors and the Named Executive Officers, in addition to other officers and employees. The Policy, among other matters, prohibits the following activities associated with the Common Stock:
•Trading on material, non-public information;
•Trading during designated black-out periods;
•Hedging of Common Stock;
•Pledging of Common Stock in a margin account or as collateral; and
•the short selling of Common Stock.
The Corporation will also adhere to certain provisions contained in the Policy regarding the timing of grants under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan. Those policies are set forth in the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy was filed as Exhibit 19 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Clawback Provision on Incentive Compensation
The Corporation has adopted a Clawback Policy to provide for the recovery of certain incentive compensation in the event of an accounting restatement and to comply with the clawback rules found in 17 C.F.R §240.10D and the related NASDAQ listing rules. Under such policy, and in general, if the Corporation is required to restate its financial results due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the securities laws, the Corporation will recoup any erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation paid during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding such restatement from the Corporation's current and former Section 16 officers, provided that such individuals served as Section 16 officers at any time during the applicable performance period. A copy of the Corporation's Clawback Policy and any amendments thereto is filed as an exhibit to the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Change In Control Agreements
The Corporation has entered into change in control agreements (the "Agreements") with certain executive officers, including all the Named Executive Officers (each an "Executive"). The terms of the Agreements end on December 31 of the respective year, with automatic one-year renewals thereafter absent notice of non-renewal from any party.
In the event a Named Executive Officer's employment is terminated during the term of the Agreement, during the period from nine months prior to or one year after a "change in control," either by the Corporation for a reason other than "cause" (as defined in the Agreements) or by the Executive after the occurrence of certain specified events constituting "good reason" described below, the Corporation will pay the applicable Executive a lump-sum cash payment equal to the sum of (i) two times their highest annual base salary in effect at the time of termination of employment for the current and two preceding calendar years and (ii) two times their average cash bonus paid within the current and two calendar years preceding termination of employment. In addition, the applicable Executive will receive continuation of medical insurance benefits for two years or a cash payment equal to the cost to obtain such benefits.
The specified events constituting "good reason" permitting an Executive to terminate employment following a change in control and receive payments and benefits under the Agreement include: (i) material diminution in the Executive's authority, duties or other terms and conditions of employment; (ii) reassignment to a location greater than 25 miles from the Executive's office on the date of the change in control (unless closer to the Executive's residence); (iii) material diminution in the Executive's base salary; (iv) failure to provide the Executive with employee benefits (retirement or pension, life insurance, medical, health and accident insurance, and similar plans) applicable at the time of the change in control; or (v) a material breach of the Agreement.
The Agreements contain non-competition and non-solicitation covenants that apply for six months in the event the Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the term of the Agreement (other than a voluntary termination for Good Reason following a Change in Control, as defined in the Agreements). Upon the payment of benefits under the Agreements, the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants apply for a period mutually to be agreed to by the parties, which will be no less than six months nor exceed two years. If any payments and benefits provided to the Executive result in any excess parachute payment under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, after considering the value of the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, the payments will be reduced if the reduction would leave the Executive financially better off on an after-tax basis than if the Executive received the entire payment and was obligated to pay the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.
IMPACT OF TAXATION ON THE FORM OF COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee considers a variety of factors, including the Corporation's tax position, the materiality of the payments and tax deductions involved, the objectives of the executive compensation programs and the Corporation's compensation philosophy in structuring compensation programs and making compensation decisions.
OVERVIEW OF BASE SALARY CHANGES FOR 2025
2025 Base Salaries
In December 2024, the Compensation Committee met and reviewed the performance of the Named Executive Officers with the Chief Executive Officer to determine increases in base salary compensation for 2025. The Committee also met in executive session without the Chief Executive Officer to discuss his base salary for 2025. Increases in base salary compensation for 2025 were based on individual performance and the selected peer group compensation review performed by the Corporation's independent compensation consultant. The Chief Executive Officer's 2025 base salary was approved by the full Board of Directors (with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer) in December 2024.
Below outlines the increases in base salary compensation for 2025 approved by the Compensation Committee:

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards
While the Corporation does not have formal policy or obligation that requires it to grant or award equity-based compensation on a specific date, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors have a historical practice of not granting stock options to executive officers during closed quarterly trading windows as determined under the Corporation's insider trading policy. Consequently, the Corporation has not granted, and does not expect to grant, any stock options to any named executive officers within four business days preceding the filing with the SEC of any report on Forms 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K that discloses material non-public information. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors do not take material non-public information into account when determining the timing of equity awards and do not time the disclosure of material non-public information in order to impact the value of executive compensation. The Corporation did not grant any stock options in 2024.
PENSION BENEFITS TABLE
The Pension Plan is a cash balance pension plan. Benefits under the Pension Plan accrue by crediting participants annually with an amount equal to a percentage of earnings in that year based on years of credited service as defined in the Plan. These benefits are expressed in the form of a hypothetical account balance. Employees hired on or after December 8, 2009 are not eligible to participate in the Pension Plan. As a tax-qualified cash balance pension plan, employer contributions to the Pension Plan are required: no contributions to the Pension Plan are required or permitted by the participants.
The normal retirement date under the Pension Plan is the first day of the month coincident with or next following the later of attainment of age 65 or completion of five years of credited service. Prior to December 31, 2009, the normal annual retirement benefit amount accrued was 1.5% of average earnings for each year of credited service up to 20 years plus 0.5% of average earnings for each year of credited service in excess of 20 years up to 35 years, plus 0.25% of average earnings in excess of the average Social Security wage base for each year of credited service up to 35 years.
As a cash balance pension plan (after December 31, 2009), benefits under the Pension Plan are credited to participant's accounts based on the following formula:
| | | | | | | | |
| Years of Service | | Annual Benefit Credited |
| 0 - 10 | | 3% of salary |
| 11- 20 | | 5% of salary |
| 21 + | | 7% of salary |
Additionally, annually the employees' accounts are credited with a guaranteed return of the ten-year Treasury note rate plus 1%, but in no event less than 2% nor more than market rate of return. For employees over the age of 55 and with more than 20 years of service on December 31, 2009, the annual retirement benefit is guaranteed to be the higher of the benefit attributable to the formula under the defined benefit portion of the Pension Plan that was in effect prior to December 31, 2009, or the cash balance component of the plan.
Each participant who has at least ten years of service and who has attained age 55 may elect to retire early within the ten-year period immediately prior to his/her normal retirement age. A participant's early retirement benefit is the greater of (i) the actuarial equivalent of the accrued benefit if the benefit is distributed in a form other than a non-decreasing life annuity payable for a period not less than the life of the participant or (ii) the accrued benefit reduced from the early retirement date by 1/15th per year for the first five years and 1/30th per year for each of the next five years. A participant's early retirement benefit with respect to benefits accrued prior to the cash balance plan conversion effective December 31, 2009 is the participant's accrued benefit payable at the participant's normal retirement date, reduced by 6% per year for the first five years and 4% per year thereafter to age 55; however, if the participant has attained age 62 at the early retirement date and the sum of the participant's age plus years of service equals or exceeds 85, the participant will receive the normal retirement benefit.
A vested participant who dies before the annuity starting date and who has a surviving spouse will have the death benefit paid to the surviving spouse in the form of a pre-retirement survivor annuity and may have the death benefit distributed to his/her beneficiaries within five years after death.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER - PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE
As required by applicable SEC rules, we are providing the following information:
In an effort to maintain comparability in the reported CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure, for 2024, Univest re-identified the median employee. We completed the following steps to identify the median employee and to determine the annual total compensation of our median employee and CEO:
1.We identified our employee population as of December 31, 2024, including all full-time, part-time, temporary, and seasonal employees employed on that date. This date was selected because it aligned with our calendar year- end and allowed us to identify employees in a reasonably efficient manner.
2.To find the median employee (other than our CEO), we used wages from our payroll records as reported to the Internal Revenue Service on Form W-2 for 2024. In making this determination, we did not make adjustments for employees who were employed on December 31, 2024 but did not work for us the entire year. No full-time equivalent adjustments were made for part-time employees.
3.We identified our median employee using this compensation measure and methodology, which was consistently applied to all our employees included in the calculation.
4.After identifying the median employee, we added together all of the elements of such employee's compensation for 2024 in accordance with SEC requirements, resulting in annual total compensation of $73,344.
5.As reported in the Total column of our 2024 Summary Compensation Table, the annual total compensation for 2024 of Jeffrey M. Schweitzer, our Chairman, President and CEO, was $1,917,602.
Based on this information, the ratio for 2024 of the annual total compensation of our Chairman, President and CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee is 26 to 1.
PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE
In accordance with rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, we provide the following disclosure regarding executive compensation for our principal executive officer ("PEO") and Non-PEO Named Executive Officers (referred to in this disclosure as the "Non-PEO NEOs") and Corporation performance for the fiscal years listed below.

4. The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the NASDAQ Bank Index (IXBK), which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in the Corporation and in the NASDAQ Bank Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.
5. We determined pre-tax pre-provision income to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Corporation performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in 2024. PTPP income is a non-GAAP measure, and is defined as pre-tax income plus provision for credit losses. All financial performance measures are subject to adjustments by the Compensation Committee for items defined in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of the proxy statement. For 2024, these adjustments include the impact of the sale of mortgage servicing rights in the first quarter of 2024 and BOLI death benefit claims received.

OTHER POTENTIAL POST-EMPLOYMENT PAYMENTS
Certain triggering events could potentially affect the amounts of compensation reported in the previous tables. Triggering events would include retirement, early retirement, termination by reason of disability, death or cause, or a change in control of the Corporation, described in "Change in Control Agreements" on page 21. The effects of these events on awards are addressed within the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Amended and Restated 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, the Defined Benefit Pension Plan, the Death Benefit Only Insurance Plan and the Split-Dollar Life Insurance Plan.
Change in Control Agreements
In the event that the employment of the Named Executive Officers is terminated subsequent to a "change in control" during the term of the Change in Control Agreements (described on page 21) either by the Corporation for a reason other than "cause" (as defined in the Agreement) or by the Executive after the occurrence of certain specified events constituting "good reason," the Corporation will pay the Named Executive Officer a lump-sum cash payment equal to the sum of (i) two times the highest annual base salary in effect on the date of termination of employment for the current and two preceding calendar years, and (ii) two times the applicable Executive's average cash bonus paid within the current and two calendar years preceding termination of employment. In addition, the applicable Executive will each receive continuation of medical insurance benefits for two years, or a cash payment equal to the cost to obtain such benefits.
The following table provides the amount of compensation payable to the applicable Executive after a "change in control" and assumes the employee is terminated for a reason other than cause (as defined in the Agreement) or the Executive terminates employment after the occurrence of a specified event of "good reason" on December 31, 2024.

Life Insurance
The Bank owns life insurance policies ("BOLI") on certain officers, including the Named Executive Officers, and provides death benefits related to those policies. All Named Executive Officers are covered by the Univest Bank and Trust Co. Split-Dollar Life Insurance Plan, which provides a benefit equal to two times the Executive's base salary at time of death. The executives are taxed on the imputed income attributable to them under the Split-Dollar Life Insurance Plan and the Bank will recover at least the cash surrender value of the BOLI policies upon the death of the covered individual.
The following table demonstrates the impact under different triggering events as if such event had occurred on December 31, 2024:

(a) Based on $29.51 the closing price of Univest's Common Stock on December 31, 2024.
(b) For performance-based restricted stock units, if a termination occurs due to death or disability, then unvested restricted stock units vest as of the date of the death or disability based on a "Pro-Rata Calculation," which will be determined based upon the length of grantee's employment with the Corporation from the date of the award through the date of the death or disability as compared to the vesting term. Service-based restricted stock units, if a termination occurs due to death or disability, become fully vested at the date of the death or disability.
The 2023 Equity Incentive Plan provides that the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for the lapse of any restrictions and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part, based on service, performance, or such factors or criteria as the Committee may determine.

Director Mandatory Retirement Age
The Corporation's Bylaws provide that a Director is required to retire from the Board on the first day of the month following their 72nd birthday. Notwithstanding this mandatory provision, the Board, by the affirmative vote of a majority of Directors, may extend the retiring Director's service eligibility for up to an additional three years as permitted under the Corporation's Bylaws.
Stock Ownership Requirements
All non-employee Directors and Alternate Directors, if any, are each required to own 10,000 shares of the Corporation's stock within five years of becoming a Director or an Alternate Director. Each non-employee Director who has been a Director or Alternate Director for at least five years is in compliance with this policy. The following shares are considered "owned" for the purpose of meeting the ownership requirements:
•All shares held by the Director or their spouse;
•All restricted stock units (vested or unvested); and
•Shares held in trust for the benefit of the Director or their immediate family members.
Director Resignation Policy
The Corporation has a Director Resignation Policy (the "Resignation Policy") to address a situation in which a nominee for election to the Board in an uncontested election is elected, despite receiving more votes "withheld" for his or her election than votes "for" his or her election (a "Majority Withheld Vote"). By accepting a nomination to stand for election or re-election as a Director of the Corporation or an appointment as Director to fill a vacancy or new Directorship, each candidate, nominee or appointee agrees that if, in an uncontested election of Directors, he or she receives a Majority Withheld Vote, the Director will tender a written offer of resignation to the Chair of the Board promptly following the Annual Meeting.
For purposes of the Policy, an "uncontested election of Directors" is any election of Directors in which the number of nominees for election does not exceed the number of Directors to be elected. The Nominating and Governance Committee must promptly consider the Director's offer of resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept the offer of resignation. The Board will act on the Committee's recommendation within 90 days following the shareholder vote. In evaluating the Director's offer of resignation, the Committee and the Board must consider relevant factors, including the following: (i) the perceived reasons for the Majority Withheld Vote; (ii) the qualifications and tenure of the Director; (iii) the Director's past and expected future contributions to the Corporation; (iv) the overall composition of the Board and whether accepting the resignation would cause the Corporation to not be in compliance with any applicable rule or regulation (including exchange listing standards) or any material agreement to which the Corporation is a party; and (v) whether the resignation would be in the best interests of the Corporation. In determining what action to recommend or take regarding the Director's offer of resignation, the Committee and the Board may: (i) accept the offer of resignation; (ii) reject the offer of resignation; (iii) reject the offer of resignation to allow the Director to remain on the Board but agreeing that the Director will not be nominated for re-election to the Board at the next election of Directors relating to the class in which such Director serves; (iv) defer acceptance of the offer of resignation until the Board can find a replacement director with the necessary qualifications to fill the vacancy that accepting the offer of resignation would create; or (v) defer acceptance of the offer of resignation if the Director can cure the underlying cause of the Majority Withheld Vote within a specified period of time (for example, if the Majority Withheld Vote related to service on one or more other boards of directors, by resigning from other company boards).
After the Board makes a formal decision on the Committee's recommendation, the Corporation must promptly publicly disclose the Board's decision whether or not to accept the Director's offer of resignation, together with an explanation of the process by which the decision was made, and, if applicable, the Board's reasons for such decision.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Since December 31, 2023, some of the Directors and Executive Officers, including their immediate family members and affiliated organizations, had consumer and commercial lending relationships and other banking transactions with the Corporation as customers of the Bank. Any loans with Directors and Executive Officers were made in the ordinary course of business and on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the Bank. Such loans did not involve more than normal collection risk and do not present other unfavorable features. Other banking transactions were also undertaken in the ordinary course of business. It is anticipated that similar transactions will occur in the future.
These transactions were made in compliance with applicable law, including Section 13(k) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (dealing with personal loans to Executive Officers) and Federal Reserve Board Regulation O. As of December 31, 2024, loans to Executive Officers, Directors, and their affiliates represented 0.01% of total shareholders' equity in the Corporation.
The Corporation's Audit Committee Charter provides for the review of Related Party transactions, defined as those transactions required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. It is the Corporation's policy that all Related Party transactions shall be approved or ratified by the Audit Committee. A Related Party transaction entered into without pre-approval shall not be deemed to violate this policy, or to be invalid or unenforceable, so long as the transaction is ratified by the Audit Committee as soon as reasonably practicable after it is entered into.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD
The Compensation Committee met five times during 2024. The Compensation Committee's responsibilities include reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives for compensation-related purposes, including financial performance and shareholder return, approving the annual compensation of executive officers and other key management personnel through consultation with management and the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultants and review of the Corporation's management development and succession plans. Recommendations are made to the Board with respect to the Corporation's CEO compensation and overall incentive-based compensation plans, including equity-based plans. In addition, the Compensation Committee reviews and recommends changes to the annual retainer and committee fee structure for non-employee Directors on the Board. In addition, the responsibilities and duties of the Compensation Committee include the approval of human capital disclosures and Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and/or annual proxy statement, assisting in establishing the Corporation’s general strategy with respect to environmental performance, health and safety, corporate social responsibility, corporate governance, sustainability, and other public policy matters relevant to the Corporation as it relates to compensation, employment and human resources ("HR ESG"), considering and recommending policies, practices, systems and disclosures that conform with that strategy, and monitoring the implementation of HR ESG-related policies, practices and systems to ensure adherence to the Corporation’s strategy. The
Compensation Committee's charter is available at the Corporation's website on the internet; www.univest.net in the "INVESTOR RELATIONS" section under Governance Documents.
All members of the Compensation Committee are independent as defined in the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market and SEC regulations.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE
Code of Conduct
The Corporation maintains a Code of Conduct for all Directors and a Code of Conduct for all officers and employees, including the CEO and senior financial officers. It is the responsibility of every Univest Director, Officer and employee to maintain a commitment to high standards of ethical conduct and to avoid any potential conflicts of interest. The Codes are designed not only to promote clear and objective standards for compliance with laws and accurate financial reporting - they also contain an accountability mechanism that ensures consistent enforcement of the Codes and protection for persons reporting questionable behavior, including a fair process for determining possible violations. The Codes of Conduct are available on our website at www.univest.net in the "INVESTOR RELATIONS" section under Governance Documents, or by requesting a copy in writing from the Secretary of the Corporation.
Any waiver of the Codes of Conduct for Directors or Executive officers must be approved by the Board or a committee of the Board and disclosed on a Form 8-K within four business days. Any waivers would also be posted on our website within four business days.
Insider Trading Arrangements and Policy
The Corporation maintains an Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers and employees that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations. A copy of the Corporation's Insider Trading Policy was filed as Exhibit 19 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Anti-Hedging Policy
The Corporation's Insider Trading Policy includes a prohibition on hedging by its Directors, Executive Officers and all employees. These transactions are designed to hedge or offset the economic risk of owning shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, any hedging, derivative or other equivalent transaction that is specifically designed to reduce or limit the extent to which declines in the trading price of Common Stock would affect the value of the shares of Common Stock owned by a Director, Executive Officer or employee is prohibited.
Margin Accounts and Pledging Policy
The Corporation's Margin Accounts and Pledging Policy includes a prohibition from pledging the Corporation's Common Stock as collateral for any loan or holding the stock in a margin account for its Directors, Executive Officers and employees. Because certain transactions may occur at a time when a Director, Executive Officer or employee is aware of material, non-public information or otherwise not permitted to trade in the Corporation's securities, Directors, Executive Officers and employees are prohibited from holding the Corporation's securities in a margin account, borrowing against any account where the Corporation's securities are held or pledging the Corporation's securities as collateral for a loan.
NOMINATING AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD
The Nominating and Governance Committee met three times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The primary purpose of the Nominating and Governance Committee is to identify individuals for nomination as members of the Board and Board committees and to evaluate the Board's governance structure. In addition, as needed, the Nominating and Governance Committee assists in setting the Corporation’s general strategy with respect to ESG Matters, and considers, recommends and implements policies, practices and disclosures that conform with that strategy, including those that enhance reputation, mitigate risk, engage employees and meet shareholder expectations; provided, however, that the Corporation’s Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for ESG Matters involving compensation, employment and human resources.
The Nominating and Governance Committee charter is available at www.univest.net in the "INVESTOR RELATIONS" section under Governance Documents.
All members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are independent as defined in the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market.
The Nominating and Governance Committee recommended to the Board the slate of nominees included in this Proxy Statement for election to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Alternate Directors are elected by the Corporation's shareholders and serve for a one-year term. The Alternate Director position provides an avenue for the Corporation to nurture and evaluate future Directors that the Board of Directors has determined would qualify as a nominee for the Board of Directors. The Alternate Director, by attending board meetings on a regular basis, stays informed of the activities and conditions of the Corporation and stays abreast of general industry trends and any statutory or regulatory developments. However, an Alternate Director does not vote on matters coming before the Board of Directors. The Corporation does not currently have any Alternate Directors.
The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for identifying and evaluating individuals qualified to become Board members and to recommend such individuals to the Board for nomination. The Nominating and Governance Committee seeks to balance the skills of current Board members with the need for other diverse skills and qualities, including diversity of gender or ethnicity, which will complement the Corporation's strategic vision. All Director candidates are evaluated based on general characteristics and specific talents and skills needed to increase the Board's effectiveness. Additionally, all candidates must possess a commitment to high ethical standards and have a demonstrated reputation for integrity. Other facts to be considered include an individual's business experience, education, civic and community activities, knowledge and experience with respect to the issues impacting the financial services industry and public companies, as well as the ability to devote the necessary time to serve as a Director. A majority of the Directors on the Board must meet the criteria for "independence" established by the NASDAQ Stock Market, and the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider any conflicts of interest that might impair their independence.
Annually, the Nominating and Governance Committee assesses the composition of the Board along with the particular skills and qualities individual Board members possess to determine that individual Board members continue to possess the skills and qualities necessary to complement the Corporation's strategic vision. Based on this, the Nominating and Governance Committee recommends nominees for election to the Board of Directors.
Board Leadership
The leadership of the Board of Directors is comprised of: (1) our Chairman (who also serves as our President and CEO), (2) our Lead Independent Director, and (3) our committee chairs.
Jeffrey M. Schweitzer was elected Chairman of the Board effective January 1, 2024 and has served as our President and CEO since January 1, 2014. He was elected Chairman because of his extensive knowledge of Univest and its markets, his leadership qualities, including the ability to lead the organization through expansion and growth and digital change, his experience and expertise, and his understanding and ability to oversee the implementation of the Corporation's strategy. The Chairman serves as a member of the Executive Committee, the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee, the Community Reinvestment Act Committee, and the Trust Committee, and participates in other committees of the Board of Directors in an advisory manner. The Chairman also develops the agendas of the Board in consultation with the Lead Independent Director and represents the Board of Directors in the community.
The Board of Directors reviews its leadership structure annually. The Board of Directors determines whether the Chairman and CEO roles will be held by the same person based on its assessment of what is in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders at a given point in time and the leadership qualities, experience and expertise of the individual and of the other members of the Board of Directors. At the time of Mr. Schweitzer's election, the Board of Directors considered whether to combine the roles of Chairman and CEO.
The Board of Directors ultimately determined that a combined role was the best way to maintain continuity of strong leadership and to align Univest's operations and business with its strategic plan. Mr. Schweitzer's leadership, strategic vision and service as President and CEO of Univest through a period of strong performance and disciplined growth contributed to the decision by the Board of Directors that a combined Chairman and CEO role, with Mr. Schweitzer serving in such role, is in the best interests of Univest and its shareholders. The combined role also provides a single point of leadership for the Corporation in order for the Corporation to maintain a unified message.
The Board of Directors recognizes the need for strong independent perspectives. Therefore, when the Chairman and CEO roles are combined, the Board requires that a Lead Independent Director be appointed by the independent directors. Joseph P. Beebe currently serves as Lead Independent Director. The Lead Independent Director is an independent director and has been designated by the Board of Directors to lead the Board of Directors in fulfilling its duties effectively, efficiently, and independently of management.
The Lead Independent Director collaborates with the Chairman and the independent directors, meets with the independent directors without management present, provides input on and reviews the meeting agendas, ensures delegated committee functions are carried out and, together with the Nominating and Governance Committee, evaluates the effectiveness of the Board of Directors and its committees, including oversight of the annual Board self-evaluation process. The Corporation also has an Independent Directors Committee, which is chaired by Mr. Beebe.
The Corporation and the Board of Directors believe this structure is appropriate for the Corporation as the Board consists predominately of outside, independent Directors, with management representation constituting only one of the twelve members of the Board of Directors. The Independent Directors of the Board meet separately at least twice a year and after each Board of Director meeting in executive session without management present. Additionally, members of the Board of Directors attend and actively participate in the following committees: Executive Committee, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee, Community Reinvestment Act Committee and Trust Committee. The active participation in these committees in addition to the Board of Directors' meetings provides the independent members of the Board the necessary insight into the daily operations of the Corporation.
All nominees to the Board of Directors will be evaluated in the same manner, regardless of whether they are recommended by the Nominating and Governance Committee or recommended by a shareholder.
Risk Management
Risk management is the cornerstone of banking and is integral to the daily operations of the Corporation. The Board of Directors oversees the risk management functions of the Corporation through the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee, which currently consists of the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, and four independent Directors of the Board. The Chief Risk Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Bank President attend each meeting, and additional members of management regularly present at the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee meetings. The Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee met four times during 2024 and is chaired by Thomas M. Petro. Oversight responsibilities of the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee are designed to assist the Board in understanding the risks inherent in the business functions of the Corporation and to assess, monitor, control and mitigate the risks associated with these functions. These risks include, but are not limited to: asset quality, internal audit, BSA/AML, compliance, credit (commercial, consumer, residential mortgage), cyber security, earnings, information security, information technology, interest rate, legal, liquidity, market, operational, pricing, regulatory, reputation, strategic, third-party vendor, transaction, and other emerging risks.
In addition to this committee, there is also an Enterprise-Wide Risk Management management-level committee, which met four times in 2024, consisting of members of management representing various line of business and areas of support tasked with identifying and addressing the risks to the Corporation. Minutes from these meetings are provided to the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee, and minutes from the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee are reported to the full Board of Directors. The Chief Risk Officer reports directly to the Audit Committee and administratively to the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. The Chief Risk Officer also attends meetings of the Board of Directors, Executive Committee, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee, Trust Committee and Community Reinvestment Act Committee, as well as numerous management level committee meetings, in order to better understand the differing risks the Corporation is encountering and also to provide perspective with respect to enterprise-wide risk management to the members of the Board of Directors attending these meetings. The Chief Risk Officer also meets in executive session with the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis.
The Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee provides oversight, from a risk perspective, of information systems security. In that regard, the Chief Information Security Officer provides information security updates to the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee at each Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee meeting. Additional information security training is provided through a management Information Security Steering Committee and also through targeted training that is overseen by the Chief Information Security Officer. In addition, the Corporation has implemented a Cyber Incident Response Plan in order to provide a structured and systematic incident response process for information security incidents that affect any of the information technology systems, network, or data of the Corporation. The Cyber Incident Response Plan is implemented
and maintained by the Corporation’s Chief Information Security Officer and is subject to annual review and approval by the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee.
Shareholder Nominations
Article II, Section 17 of the Bylaws governs the process of nominations for election to the Board of Directors. Nominations made by shareholders entitled to vote for the election of Directors must be made by written notice, delivered or mailed by registered return receipt mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation, not less than fifty (50) days prior to any meeting of the shareholders called for the election of Directors; provided, however, that if less than twenty-one (21) days' notice of the meeting is given to shareholders, such a nomination must be delivered or mailed to the Secretary of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the seventh (7th) day following the date on which the notice of the meeting was mailed to the shareholders.
Such notification must contain the following information:
a.The name, age and resident address of each of the proposed nominees;
b.The principal occupation or employment and business address of each proposed nominee;
c.The total number of shares of the Corporation that, to the knowledge of the nominating shareholders, is held by each of the proposed nominees;
d.The name and resident address of the nominating shareholder; and
e.The number of shares owned by the nominating shareholder.
The nomination of a Director by the Corporation who has not previously served as a Director must be made from and among the then serving Alternate Director(s) except in connection with the execution by the Corporation of a definitive acquisition or merger agreement. Nomination for Alternate Directors shall be made in the same manner as Directors and in accordance with the then applicable provisions of the Bylaws for such nominations. Any nomination for Director or Alternate Director made by a shareholder that is not made in accordance with the Bylaws may be disregarded by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board.
PROPOSALS
Proposal 1 - Election of Directors
The election of four Class II Directors, each for a three-year term expiring in 2028 or until their successors are elected and qualified. The nominees for Class II Director are:
Todd S. Benning
Martin P. Connor
Jeffrey M. Schweitzer
Michael L. Turner
The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" each of the listed nominees.
Proposal 2 - Ratification of KPMG LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for 2025
The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed KPMG as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Corporation for 2025. KPMG was first engaged as the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm in 2004 and audited the Corporation's financial statements for 2024.
Although shareholder ratification of the appointment of KPMG as the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm is not required, the Board has decided to afford the Corporation's shareholders the opportunity to express their opinions on the appointment of the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders. If the Corporation's shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the Committee will take that fact into consideration, together with such other facts as it deems relevant, in determining its next selection of an independent registered public accounting firm.
A representative from KPMG is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" Proposal 2.
Proposal 3 - An advisory vote to approve Named Executive Officer compensation as presented in this Proxy Statement
We are requesting shareholder approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as presented in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" (the "CD&A") section of this document and the compensation tables included in the discussion of Executive Compensation beginning on page 13, including the narrative disclosure thereto.
As stated in the CD&A, our executive compensation program has been designed to attract, incentivize and retain employees in leadership positions by recognizing their importance in carrying out the Corporation's Mission Statement, Core Values and Vision Statement. Focusing on these three elements is critical to meeting the Corporation's short-term and long-term goals and growth in shareholder value.
Highlights of our program include:
•Mixture of salary and incentive compensation (base salary, annual incentive and long-term incentive compensation) with approximately 50% paid in annual base salary and 50% paid in the form of annual incentive and long-term incentive compensation based on individual and performance factors;
•Measurement of individual and corporate performance factors by the Compensation Committee, considering decision-making responsibilities, experience, work performance and achievement of key goals, including performance compared to peers;
•Assessment of Univest's executive compensation program by the Compensation Committee to ensure the program promotes the long-term objectives of the Corporation, encourages growth in shareholder value, provides the opportunity for management investment in the Corporation, and attracts top-level executives to strategically manage the Corporation; and
•The requirement that executives acquire substantial levels of ownership of the Corporation's stock to better align the executives' interests with those of the shareholders.
As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon the Corporation. However, the Compensation Committee, which is responsible for the design and administration of our executive compensation practices, values the opinions of our shareholders expressed through your vote on this proposal. The Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of this vote in making future compensation decisions for our Named Executive Officers. Accordingly, we will present the following resolution for vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders:
"RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of the Corporation's Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the accompanying compensation tables and any related narrative disclosure in the Proxy Statement."
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote "FOR" Proposal 3.

| Non-GAAP Measure Description |
We determined pre-tax pre-provision income to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Corporation performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in 2024. PTPP income is a non-GAAP measure, and is defined as pre-tax income plus provision for credit losses. All financial performance measures are subject to adjustments by the Compensation Committee for items defined in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of the proxy statement. For 2024, these adjustments include the impact of the sale of mortgage servicing rights in the first quarter of 2024 and BOLI death benefit claims received.

| Award Timing Disclosures [Line Items] |
|
| Award Timing MNPI Disclosure |
While the Corporation does not have formal policy or obligation that requires it to grant or award equity-based compensation on a specific date, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors have a historical practice of not granting stock options to executive officers during closed quarterly trading windows as determined under the Corporation's insider trading policy. Consequently, the Corporation has not granted, and does not expect to grant, any stock options to any named executive officers within four business days preceding the filing with the SEC of any report on Forms 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K that discloses material non-public information. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors do not take material non-public information into account when determining the timing of equity awards and do not time the disclosure of material non-public information in order to impact the value of executive compensation. The Corporation did not grant any stock options in 2024.
