ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The following descriptions of the arrangements and agreements between BB&T Corporation (the Company) and certain executive officers and directors of the Company are qualified in their entirety by reference to the applicable governing document or attached description, as appropriate.
On February 21, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors and/or the Companys Board of Directors approved the following agreements and arrangements:
(i) | A change in the material terms and conditions of the Annual Non-Employee Director Option Grant Program, which summary is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; |
(ii) | The form of non-employee director nonqualified stock option agreement for the Companys 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan), which agreement is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; |
(iii) | The form of employee nonqualified stock option agreement for the Companys 2004 Plan, which agreement is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; |
(iv) | The form of restricted stock unit agreement for the Companys 2004 Plan, which agreement is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; |
(v) | The form of restricted stock unit agreement (performance vesting component) for the Companys 2004 Plan, which agreement is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; |
(vi) | The 2005 Declaration of Amendment No. 2 to the Companys Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation and Stock Option Plan (the Directors Plan) in order to permit deferral elections for 2005 to be made on or before March 15, 2005 and to otherwise provide that the Directors Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and related guidance, which Declaration of Amendment No. 2 is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; and |
(vii) | The 2006 salaries for executive officers, the 2005 performance-based incentive awards and the 2005 equity awards earned by or payable to the Companys executive officers. |
(a) |
Long-term incentive performance criteria: The performance criteria applied in
determining amounts payable under the
Companys 2003-2005 LTIP Performance Unit Plan was the average cash basis return on
equity for the period 2003-2005, with a target of 20.05% and a maximum of
23.64%. For this three-year period, the Company attained a cash basis return on equity of 24.88%,
which entitled the participants in 2005 to receive an award of 200% of their target payout. The awards are
payable in cash or shares of Common Stock at the discretion of the
Compensation Committee.

(b) |
Short-term incentive performance criteria: The performance criteria applied
in determining amounts payable under the Companys Short-Term Executive Incentive Plan are determined
based solely on corporate performance. For the Chief Executive Officer and
the rest of executive management, the Compensation Committee established
corporate performance goals for 2005 based on cash basis earnings per share
(weighted at 80%) and return on assets (weighted at 20%), with specific goals
established by review of peer groups and prior year results. In 2005, BB&T
achieved approximately 87% of the cash basis earnings per share target, and achieved
over 200% return on assets target, which entitled participants in 2005 to receive an award
of 109% of their target payout.
