(e) On March 28, 2011, the Board of Directors of Home Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and/or the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Home Bank (the “Bank”), as applicable, approved amended and restated employment agreements between the Company or the Bank and each of John W. Bordelon, President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and the Bank, and Executive Vice Presidents Darren E. Guidry, Scott T. Sutton and Joseph B. Zanco.

The existing employment agreements were amended and restated to:

 

   

extend the term of the agreements for one year, to June 22, 2014 in the case of Mr. Bordelon and to June 22, 2013 in the case of the Executive Vice Presidents;

 

   

remove the prior provisions that permitted the agreements to be automatically extended for an additional year on the annual anniversary date of the agreement unless either party to the agreement has given notice that the term will not be extended (commonly referred to as an “evergreen” provision); and

 

   

revise the provision in Mr. Bordelon’s agreement with the Company which requires the Company to (1) reimburse Mr. Bordelon for any 20% excise tax incurred under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 280G”), upon severance of employment after a “change-in-control”, as defined under Section 280G, and (2) pay the additional federal, state and local income taxes and excise taxes on such reimbursement in order to place Mr. Bordelon in the same after-tax position he would have been in if the excise tax had not been imposed (commonly referred to as a “Section 280G gross-up” provision) such that the Company will be obligated to pay a Section 280G gross-up to Mr. Bordelon only with respect to a change-in-control which occurs on or before June 22, 2014.

The determination to remove the evergreen provisions in the agreements and, in the case of Mr. Bordelon’s agreement with the Company, limit the provision providing for a 280G gross-up payment to change-in-control transactions occurring on or before June 22, 2014, were undertaken primarily upon consideration of the governance risk indicators (“GRId”) published by RiskMetrics Group (formerly known as Institutional Shareholder Services or “ISS”). The Company has taken other actions related to its GRId score, including the adoption of chief executive officer and director stock ownership guidelines and of a compensation clawback policy.
