Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Executive Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
At its meeting on April 9, 2009, the Board of Directors of Wilmington Trust Corporation (the “Corporation”) amended the Corporation’s 2009 Executive Incentive Plan and 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (each, a “Plan,” and collectively, the “Plans”) to:
    Change the definition of the term “Change in Control” in each 2009 Plan to “30%” from “15%” each time that number is contained in that definition; and
 
    Provide that the vesting of awards under each Plan triggered by a Change in Control would accelerate only following termination of a participant’s employment by his or her employer, or a material diminution of his or her duties, in either case within two years after a Change in Control.
The Plans are subject to approval of the Corporation’s shareholders at its Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on April 22, 2009. The amended 2009 Executive Incentive Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the amended 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit B, and each is incorporated by reference herein.
