Item 5.02.

Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted an Employee Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for the employees of its wholly owned subsidiary, Enterprise Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”).  The Plan was formally extended to those officers listed in the summary compensation table included in the Company’s 2007 proxy statement (the “Named Executive Officers”) on May 4, 2007.

The Plan is designed to motivate and reward employees for achieving and exceeding specified bank-wide, group and individual performance objectives.  Under the Plan, an individual’s annual incentive cash bonus is based on the individual’s contributions to performance as measured by selected financial results and ratios applicable to the individual’s designated group within the Bank and the individual’s personal performance evaluation.  The annual incentive cash bonuses payable under the Plan are in addition to any other compensation and benefits payable under any other plans, agreements or other arrangements that the Company or Bank may have with or maintain for any employees.

All of the Named Executive Officers are included within the same group under the Plan and the methodology used for calculating individual annual incentive cash bonuses under the Plan is the same for all Named Executive Officers.  Depending upon the Company’s achievement of specified levels of performance as determined by reference to the financial performance criteria specified under the Plan, each of the Named Executive Officers is eligible to receive an annual incentive cash bonus, subject to adjustment up or down based on the Named Executive Officer’s individual performance evaluation.  For any given year, however, the total bonus amount that is payable to the group in which the Named Executive Officers are included under the Plan may not exceed the aggregate amount payable to the group as a whole, as determined before any adjustment up or down of the bonus amount payable to any of the individuals in the group.

There is no minimum bonus amount that is payable to employees, including the named Executive Officers, under the Plan.

A copy of the Plan, excluding the Appendices to the Plan and other confidential information contained in the Plan, which have been submitted separately on a confidential basis to the Securities and Exchange Commission, is included as Exhibit 10.48 to this report.
