On April 24, 2012, First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its banking subsidiary, Farmington Bank (the “Bank”), entered into an employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with John J. Patrick, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank.  The effective date of the Agreement is December 31, 2011.
 
Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Patrick will continue to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank until December 31, 2015, subject to automatic extension so that a constant thirty-six (36) calendar month term shall remain in effect, until such extensions are terminated by the Company or Mr. Patrick. The Agreement provides for an initial base salary of $500,000 per year, subject to possible annual increases.
 
The Agreement also provides that Mr. Patrick will be eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus at the discretion of the Bank, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Human Resources Committee.  Mr. Patrick will be eligible to participate in all savings and retirement plans, policies and programs as may be made available by the Bank to executive-level employees generally, including the Bank’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for Senior Executives.  In addition, Mr. Patrick will be entitled to participate on the same basis as all other executive officers of the Bank in the Bank’s standard benefit programs, including group health, disability and life insurance programs.
 
The Agreement also provides that, in the event Mr. Patrick’s employment is terminated without “cause” or for “good reason,” as such terms are defined in the Agreement, then, Mr. Patrick is entitled to receive severance in an amount equal to three (3) times his annual base salary in effect on the date of termination, payable at regular payroll intervals over a 36-month period plus the continuation of certain insurance benefits. The Agreement also contains restrictive covenants relating to the protection of confidential information, non-disclosure, non-solicitation and non-competition.
 
The preceding description of the Agreement is a summary of the material terms of the Agreement and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
