Director Compensation Review

On April 22, 2008, the Nominating and Governance Committee of PNC’s Board of Directors conducted its annual review of compensation for the Board’s non-employee directors. The Committee retained Towers Perrin, a global professional services firm, to prepare a report on director compensation. The report analyzed our director compensation program and compared director compensation practices among members of our peer group and other large public companies. The report was provided to the full Board of Directors.

In undertaking this annual review, the Committee’s primary objectives are to confirm continued alignment with business and shareholder interests, to evaluate the competitiveness of our director compensation program relative to our peers, and to identify and respond to changes in director compensation in light of the competitive environment. Based in part on that report, and following deliberation and discussion, the Committee recommended that no changes be made to PNC’s annual retainer and meeting fee schedules for non-employee directors. These schedules are shown below.

Annual Retainer Schedule:

 

Retainer for each director

   $  45,000

Committee chair’s retainer, for each committee chaired

   $ 10,000

Additional retainer for chairs of Audit and Risk committees

   $ 10,000

Presiding director’s retainer

   $ 10,000

Meeting Fee Schedule:

 

Each board meeting, except quarterly telephonic dividend meetings

   $  1,500

Each quarterly telephonic dividend meeting

   $ 750

For each of the first six meetings held annually by each committee or subcommittee on which the director serves

   $ 1,500

For the seventh and each succeeding meeting held annually by each committee or subcommittee on which the director serves

   $ 2,000

Non-employee directors continue to be eligible to participate in the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan and to receive equity-based grants under the 1992 Director Share Incentive Plan, the 2006 Incentive Award Plan, and the Outside Directors Deferred Stock Unit Plan, and to receive the other director benefits described in our proxy statement for the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders that was held on April 22, 2008.

After internal deliberation and consideration of the report prepared by its outside compensation consultant, the Nominating and Governance Committee granted 1,493 deferred stock units to each non-employee director on April 22, 2008 as part of the equity-based component of non-employee director compensation for 2008. All non-employee directors received this deferred stock unit grant.
