Western Alliance Bancorporation adopted a new Executive Stock and Bonus Deferral Plan on December 19, 2025. This plan lets selected senior executives defer a portion of their annual cash bonuses and certain stock awards instead of receiving them immediately.
Eligible executives, generally members of the Executive Leadership Team, can choose to defer 0%, 25%, or 50% of each type of eligible compensation. Deferred amounts are credited as deferred stock units, follow the original vesting schedule, and can earn dividend equivalents when cash dividends are paid on the underlying shares.
After an executive leaves the company, deferred cash and stock compensation are paid out in either two or three annual installments, based on elections made at the time of deferral. If a participant dies, any vested balance is paid in a single lump sum to their beneficiary. Deferred annual cash bonuses remain subject to the company’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy.
