As previously reported, a majority of votes cast at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of First Financial Bancorp ("First Financial") were in favor of an annual advisory vote on executive compensation. In consideration of this vote, First Financial’s Board of Directors through its Compensation Committee has determined that it will include an advisory, non-binding vote on executive compensation in its proxy materials pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on an annual basis until the next advisory vote on the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation, which will occur no later than First Financial’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
