Compensation Structure

Compensation is comprised of a base salary and an annual incentive bonus. The base salary is based on the job description of the position and the overall qualifications of the individual. Ms. Hodosi’s performance is formally evaluated annually and based on a variety of factors. The bonus is determined by three components: the overall performance of M&T Bank, the overall performance of MTBIA relative to the budget and Ms. Hodosi’s management and oversight of certain portfolios and strategies, including the asset allocation strategy relative to both the retail and variable annuity Managed Allocation Funds.

The performance portion of Ms. Hodosi’s incentive bonus is based on the time weighted rates of return for the portfolios and strategies she manages compared to the relative indices with the heaviest emphasis on the current year results. Prior period results are a factor to the extent that they build an argument for additional compensation based on a superior long-term track record.
