Governance Assessment

  • Positives:

    • Independent leadership: As Independent Lead Director, Tompkins provides a counterbalance to non-independent Chair/CEO, presides over independent sessions, and approves agendas—strengthening oversight and shareholder engagement.
    • Committee coverage: Membership on both Audit (4 meetings in 2024) and Risk (4 meetings in 2024) committees supports robust financial reporting and enterprise risk oversight.
    • Engagement: Board and bank boards met 13 times each in 2024; all directors met at least 75% attendance and attended the 2024 annual meeting, indicating high engagement.
    • Cash-based director pay and anti-hedging: Director compensation is modest and cash-based; anti-hedging policy enhances alignment with shareholders.
  • Watch items:

    • Tenure/refreshment: Very long tenure (since 1993) can raise entrenchment concerns; continued independent lead role and active committee work partially mitigates this.
    • Related-party exposure framework: The bank provides ordinary-course services/credit to directors and affiliates under Regulation O; while no Tompkins-specific transactions were disclosed, continued monitoring is prudent.
    • Equity alignment guidelines: No director stock ownership guidelines disclosed; alignment depends on personal holdings (22,502 shares, ~0.64%).
  • No red flags disclosed:

    • No pledging of shares by Tompkins, no director-specific related party transactions or legal proceedings disclosed; attendance thresholds met.
