Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

A. General Information

BMBC permits the issuance of stock options, dividend equivalents, performance stock awards, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units or awards to employees and directors of the Corporation under several plans. The performance awards and restricted awards may be in the form of stock awards or stock units. Stock awards and stock units differ in that for a stock award, shares of restricted stock are issued in the name of the grantee, whereas a stock unit constitutes a promise to issue shares of stock upon vesting. The accounting for awards and units is identical. The terms and conditions of awards under the plans are determined by the Corporation’s Management Development and Compensation Committee.

Prior to April 25, 2007, all shares authorized for grant as stock-based compensation were limited to grants of stock options. On April 25, 2007, the shareholders approved BMBC’s “2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan” (the “2007 LTIP”) under which a total of 428,996 shares of BMBC’s common stock were made available for award grants. On April 28, 2010, the shareholders approved BMBC’s “2010 Long Term Incentive Plan” under which a total of 445,002 shares of BMBC’s common stock were made available for award grants, and on April 30, 2015, the shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of such plan (as amended and restated, the “2010 LTIP”) to, among other things, increase the number of shares available for award grants by 500,000 to 945,002.

In addition to the shareholder-approved plans mentioned in the preceding paragraph, BMBC periodically authorizes grants of stock-based compensation as inducement awards to new employees. This type of award does not require shareholder approval in accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the NASDAQ listing rules.

The equity awards are authorized to be in the form of, among others, options to purchase BMBC’s common stock, RSUs and PSUs.

RSUs have a restriction based on the passage of time. The grant date fair value of the RSUs is based on the closing price on the date of the grant.

PSUs have restrictions based on performance criteria and the passage of time. The performance criteria may be a market-based criteria measured by BMBC’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the performance of the community bank index for the respective period. The fair value of the PSUs based on BMBC’s TSR relative to the performance of a designated peer group or the NASDAQ Community Bank Index is calculated using the Monte Carlo Simulation method. The performance criteria may also be based on a non-market-based criteria such as return on average equity relative to that designated peer group. The grant date fair value of these PSUs is based on the closing price of BMBC’s stock on the date of the grant. PSU grants may have a vesting percent ranging from 0% to 150%.
