ITEM 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On February 29, 2016, the Board of Directors of LegacyTexas Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved, effective for the 2016 plan year, certain changes to the Executive Annual Incentive Plan (the "EIP") originally adopted by the Company on February 28, 2013. Under the EIP, senior executive officers of the Company are eligible to receive annual cash incentive awards based on the achievement of pre-established corporate performance goals. The EIP is reviewed annually by the Company's Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to ensure proper alignment with the Company's business objectives. The EIP was revised as follows:

(1)
the performance goal “return on assets” was replaced with “return on equity”;
(2)
the subjective assessment of “strategic achievement” was deleted; and
(3)
the industry index against which performance goals are measured under the EIP was changed to the “KBW NASDAQ Regional Bank Index” from the “SNL Small Cap U.S. Banks Index”.

Further, as disclosed in its 2015 Annual Meeting Proxy Statement, the Company removed the Compensation Committee’s ability to apply positive discretion to the EIP, and the CEO incentive was increased to align with market practice for banks. 

As a result of these changes, performance will be assessed at the end of each fiscal year, with 100% of the awards calculated formulaically and with the performance goals (net interest margin, efficiency ratio, return on equity and non-performing loans to average assets) being equally weighted, 25% each.  The EIP will remain in effect each year until terminated or modified by the Company.

The foregoing is a summary of the material terms of the EIP and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the entire text of the EIP, the form of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
