Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On January 20, 2021, Sterling Bancorp (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding its results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2020. The press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
The information contained in this report, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is considered to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to liability under that Section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing or document.

The release contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company and includes a cautionary statement identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
The LTI Plan is a key element of the Company’s executive compensation program as it provides equity-based compensation that supports the Company’s goal of aligning management and stockholders’ interests and recruiting and retaining key personnel. The LTI Plan targets 75% of an award in performance shares (with vesting based on certain adjusted metrics including return on average tangible assets (“ROATA”) and earnings per share available to common stockholders (“EPS”)) (“Performance Award”) and 25% of an award in time-vested stock. Performance Award payouts can range from 0% to 150% of target based on the Company’s three-year adjusted EPS growth and adjusted ROATA relative to the KBW Regional Bank Index. For participants to be eligible to earn a Performance Award payout, the Company is required to meet a minimum adjusted EPS and adjusted ROATA in the final year of a performance period (the “Minimum Threshold Requirements”).

On January 20, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), approved the removal of the Minimum Threshold Requirements for the three-year performance periods ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 as well as prospective three-year performance periods under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTI Plan”) and will rely on the relative performance measures to determine the payouts. The Board believes this change maintains robust relative performance criteria and was made to retain and ensure sustained engagement of key executives, recognize the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and drive long-term business results.

Except as disclosed herein and previously disclosed in Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2020, awards under the LTI Plan remain unchanged.
