PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Wilmington Trust Corporation is (we are) a Delaware corporation and financial holding company
under the Bank Holding Company Act. We provide a full range of banking and other financial
services through our banking and other subsidiaries.
Our principal subsidiary is Wilmington Trust Company (WTC), a Delaware-chartered bank and trust
company founded in 1903. We also own one other depository institution: Wilmington Trust FSB
(WTFSB), a federally-chartered savings bank. Until November 2008, we owned a third depository
institution: Wilmington Trust of Pennsylvania (WTPA), a Pennsylvania-chartered bank and trust
company. On November 1, 2008, we merged WTPA into WTFSB.
WTFSB owns Wilmington Trust Retirement and Institutional Services Company (WTRISC), a
Delaware-chartered trust company. WTRISC owns Wilmington Trust Fiduciary Services Company (WTFSC),
a New Jersey-chartered nondepository bank.
Organizationally, we have four business segments: Regional Banking, Corporate Client Services
(CCS), Wealth Advisory Services (WAS), and Affiliate Money Managers.
More information about our business is in the reports Management Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) and in Notes 1 and 23 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, and is incorporated by reference herein.
STAFF MEMBERS
At year-end 2008, we had 2,946 full-time-equivalent staff members. We provide a variety of benefit
programs for these staff members, which may include pension, incentive compensation, thrift
savings, stock purchase, and group life, health, and accident plans. We consider our relationships
with these staff members to be good, and we believe our ability to attract and retain high-quality
staff members substantiates this.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
As a publicly traded company that issues stock, we are subject to the rules and regulations of the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Our stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange,
and we are subject to that exchanges rules and regulations. Our Board of Directors has implemented
a system of strong corporate governance practices. More information about this is available on our
Web site at www.wilmingtontrust.com.
We are a bank holding company, a thrift holding company, and a financial holding company under the
Bank Holding Company Act. We and WTC are regulated by the Delaware Department of Banking (DOB) and
the Federal Reserve Board. WTFSB
is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). WTC and WTFSB (collectively, the banks) are
subject to the rules and regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). WTRISC is
regulated by the DOB and the OTS. WTFSC is regulated by the New Jersey Department of Banking and
Insurance and the OTS. In addition, some of our subsidiaries are regulated by other federal and
state authorities as well as by regulatory authorities of other countries in which we conduct
business.
The FDIC insures deposits in the banks up to applicable limits. WTC and WTFSB are required to pay
premiums for FDIC insurance coverage.
Participation
in government programs. In addition to the Capital Purchase Program
described in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we currently are
participating in the following U.S. government programs:
|
|
New deposit insurance
limits. FDIC deposit insurance coverage was increased on October 3,
2008, from $100,000
to $250,000 per depositor for all deposits (individual retirement account deposits continue to
be insured separately up to $250,000). This increase is temporary and, unless extended by
Congress, it will expire on December 31, 2009. |
|
|
|
FDIC Transaction Account
Guarantee Program. Under this program, which is part of the
FDICs Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP), all noninterest-bearing deposit
transaction accounts, as well as certain types of transaction accounts with interest rates of
0.5% or less, will be fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account
through December 31, 2009. This is in addition to and separate from the coverage available
under the FDICs general deposit insurance coverage. |
|
|
|
FDIC Debt Guarantee
Program. This program, also part of the FDICs TLGP, guarantees
timely principal and interest payments on senior unsecured debt issued between October 14,
2008, and June 30, 2009. We are participating in this program but, as of December 31, 2008,
had no debt issues that qualified for these guarantees. |
|
|
|
Temporary Guarantee
Program for Money Market Funds. Our three money market mutual
funds the Wilmington Prime Money Market Fund, the Wilmington U. S. Government Money Market
Fund, and the Wilmington Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund are participating in the U.S.
Department of the Treasurys Temporary Money Market Guarantee Program. This program, which
currently is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2009, provides insurance protection to
shareholders of record in these funds as of September 19, 2008. The guarantee could be
triggered if any of the participating funds share prices were to fall below $1.00. None of
our participating funds has ever fallen below that level. Combined, these three funds had
approximately $7.1 billion in assets under management at December 31, 2008. |
Safety
and soundness. The Federal Reserve Board requires us to operate in a safe and sound
manner. If the Federal Reserve Board determines there is a serious risk to the financial safety and
soundness of a subsidiary bank, it can require us to terminate the activity presenting the risk or
terminate our control of the subsidiary.
Federal regulations establish dollar amount limits and collateral requirements for assets the banks
purchase from non-bank affiliates. For these purposes, we and most of the companies we control are
considered affiliates of the banks. In addition, the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve
Board impose dollar amount, credit quality, and other limitations on loans the banks make to
directors, officers, principal shareholders, and their related interests.
Capital requirements and dividend limitations. To assess the capital adequacy of bank
holding companies and their bank subsidiaries, the Federal Reserve Board and other federal banking
agencies have adopted risk-weighted capital standards. As of December 31, 2008, we and the banks
were well capitalized, with capital levels that exceeded the minimum
thresholds. More
information about this is in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Dividends paid by the banks to us, and by us to shareholders, are subject to Federal Reserve Board,
OTS, Delaware, and other legal and regulatory restrictions. More information about this is also in
Note 16.
Bank Holding Company Act (BHCA). The BHCA requires us to have prior approval from the
Federal Reserve Board before we may acquire control of a bank or before any company may acquire
control of us. The BHCA also requires us to have the Federal Reserve Boards prior approval before
we acquire ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of a banks
or bank holding companys voting securities; acquire substantially all of a banks assets; or merge
or consolidate with a bank holding company. Likewise, any bank holding or other company seeking to
obtain control of us would need prior approval from the Federal Reserve Board and, because we are
also a thrift holding company, prior approval from the OTS.
As a financial holding company, we may engage in activities permitted by the BHCA without obtaining
prior Federal Reserve Board approval. In addition, we may engage in activities not otherwise
permitted for bank holding companies, generally without the Federal Reserve Boards prior approval.
These activities include those that the Federal Reserve Board has determined are beneficial in
nature, incidental to financial activities, or complementary to a financial activity. The BHCA does
not place territorial restrictions on the activities of nonbank subsidiaries of financial holding
companies.
Page 2
Bank Secrecy Act, USA PATRIOT Act, and Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations (collectively,
the BSA laws). The
BSA laws require us to establish policies, procedures, and controls to detect, prevent, and report
money laundering and terrorist financing activities. If we fail to comply with these laws,
significant criminal and civil penalties can be imposed on us, and our charter, license, and/or
deposit insurance can be revoked. We have adopted appropriate policies, procedures, and controls to
comply with the BSA laws, and we will revise them as needed.
Privacy and information security. Federal and state laws and regulations require us to
respect the privacy of our clients and to protect the security and confidentiality of their
nonpublic personal information. These laws and regulations limit our disclosure of nonpublic client
information to nonaffiliated third parties; require us to inform clients of our privacy and
information-sharing policies; and require us to notify clients and regulators if an unauthorized
disclosure occurs and there is concern the disclosed information may be misused. We have information
security programs to safeguard the confidentiality and security of client information, and to
ensure its proper disposal.
Interstate Banking Act. As an institution headquartered in Delaware, we are subject to the
provisions of the Interstate Banking Act embraced by Delaware. Under this Act, Delaware permits
mergers between Delaware banks and out-of-state banks, and allows the merged institution to open
new offices in Delaware. Delaware does not permit out-of-state banks to establish new branches in
Delaware or acquire Delaware branches of other institutions without first merging with them.
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The CRA requires banks to help serve the credit needs of
the communities it serves. This includes extending credit and providing other services to low- and
moderate-income individuals and families. To be rated at least satisfactory under the CRA, we are
required to meet or exceed federal definitions of well-managed and well-capitalized financial
institutions. If we fail to meet these requirements, we may incur penalties, which could include
denials of applications to add branches, relocate, add subsidiaries and affiliates, and merge with
or purchase other financial institutions. We also could be required to cease engaging in financial
holding company activity or divest ownership of one or both of the banks.
Fair
Housing Act. This Act and the CRA prohibit us from discriminating against or
withholding services from individuals who live in economically depressed areas.
Residential mortgage usury laws. Since Delaware and Maryland have not overridden federal
legislation that preempted state usury laws on residential first mortgage loans, there currently is
no limit on interest rates the banks can charge on residential first mortgage loans. In todays
interest rate environment, these usury laws do not materially affect the banks lending programs.
Consumer protection laws. Our banking activities are subject to a variety of federal
and state consumer protection laws, including:
|
|
The Truth-in-Lending Act, which mandates disclosures for certain consumer loans; |
|
|
|
The Truth-in-Savings Act, which mandates deposit-related disclosures; |
|
|
|
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which prohibits discrimination; and |
|
|
|
The Fair Credit Reporting Act, which, if we deny a clients application for credit, requires
us to tell the client which credit bureau we used to evaluate the application, and which
imposes rules for information sharing and pre-screened offers of credit. |
Wilmington Brokerage Services Company (WBSC), our broker-dealer subsidiary, is registered as a
broker-dealer with and is subject to regulation by the SEC and the securities administrators of the
states in which it is registered. In addition, WBSC is a member of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and subject to FINRA regulations. WBSC is also a member of the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation, which, in the event of a broker-dealers liquidation,
provides some financial protections for securities holders. Several of our subsidiaries, including
WBSC, also are registered as investment advisors with the SEC and in some states.

Analysis section of our Proxy Statement.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The normal course of business exposes us to a variety of operational, reputational, legal, and
regulatory risks, which we summarize below. All of these risks could affect our financial
performance and condition adversely.
Lending
money is inherently risky. This risk is associated primarily with our two
subsidiary depository institutions (the banks): Wilmington Trust Company (WTC) and Wilmington Trust
FSB (WTFSB). When we make a loan through the banks, we make subjective judgments about the
borrowers ability to repay it. No matter how financially sound a client or lending decision may
seem, a borrowers ability to repay can be affected adversely by economic changes and other
external factors. If borrowers do not repay their loans, our levels of nonperforming assets, loan
losses, and the provision for loan losses could increase.
Adverse economic conditions, especially in the mid-Atlantic region, can increase the degree of
repayment risk inherent in our loan portfolio. We do most of our lending in the mid-Atlantic
region. Economic conditions in this region could affect the ability of borrowers to repay their
loans. Adverse conditions also could reduce the value of assets, such as property or securities,
that borrowers use as collateral. A reduction in the value of collateral could affect our ability
to collect repayment of a loan if the borrower defaults.
Some of the loans we make carry a higher degree of repayment risk than others. The commercial real
estate/construction and commercial mortgage loans we make may carry a higher degree of repayment
risk than other types of loans. The commercial real estate business is subject to downturns,
overbuilding, and economic conditions. Adverse conditions in the real estate market, or in the
economy in general, can affect the repayment ability of these borrowers more severely than other
types of borrowers.
Commercial mortgage loans for multi-family residential properties may be riskier than those for
one-to-four family residences. Multi-family property loans are typically larger than loans for
one-to-four family residential properties. In addition, the repayment of loans for multi-family
properties typically depends on successful property operation and management. At December 31, 2008,
our commercial mortgage portfolio totaled $1,870.2 million, or 19% of total loans outstanding.
Commercial real estate/construction loans, which we make for residential and commercial properties
and for unimproved land, may carry a higher degree of repayment risk than other types of loans,
especially when the associated projects are not generating income. Repayment of these types of
loans often depends on the ultimate success of the project, not on the borrowers or guarantors
ability to repay. In addition, consistent with industry practice, we sometimes fund the interest
payments on a commercial construction loan by including the interest as part of the total loan.
This increases the total amount of the borrowers loan. At December 31, 2008, our commercial real
estate/construction portfolio totaled $1,923.8 million, or 20% of total loans outstanding.
Consumer loans may carry a higher degree of repayment risk than residential mortgage loans,
particularly when the consumer loan is unsecured. Repayment of a consumer loan typically depends on
the borrowers financial stability, and it is more likely to be affected adversely by job loss,
illness, or personal bankruptcy. In addition, federal and state bankruptcy, insolvency, and other
laws may limit the amount we can recover when a consumer client defaults. At December 31, 2008, our
consumer loan portfolio totaled $1,732.9 million, or 18% of total loans outstanding.
Market interest rates can affect loan profitability and increase repayment risk. The interest rates
on almost all of our commercial loans, and on many of our consumer and residential mortgage loans,
are adjustable (floating). Floating rate loans generally carry lower initial interest rates than
fixed rate loans, which may make them less profitable than fixed rate loans during the initial
interest rate period. When the floating rate rises, it may be more difficult for some borrowers to
repay their loans, and loan delinquencies may increase. For 2008, we recorded a provision for loan
losses of $115.5 million.
Changes in market interest rates, and the pace at which they occur, can affect net interest
income adversely. Market interest rates present more risk to us than inflation. As a financial
institution, nearly all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Their values are more
likely to be eroded by changes in market interest rates than by the effects of inflation on
currency valuations.
Rate changes, which can affect the yields we earn on loans and investments and the rates we pay on
deposits and other borrowings, can affect our net interest margin and net interest income
positively or negatively, and ultimately affect our financial performance.
Securities in our investment portfolio are subject to credit risk, market risk, illiquidity,
and accounting risk. The fair market value of instruments in our investment securities
portfolio may fall below the amount at which we purchased them, and we may be required to record
these valuation declines as securities losses. These conditions could result from factors beyond
our control, including credit rating agency downgrades, issuer defaults, lack of market demand or
trading activity, and instability in
Page 4
the credit markets. In addition, issuers of these securities may prepay or revoke instruments prior
to their scheduled maturity. These conditions could affect our cash flows, earnings, and regulatory
capital ratios negatively.
Any change in current accounting principles or interpretations of those principles could affect
our assessment of the fair value of our securities and our determination of whether they are
other-than-temporarily impaired. Such a determination would require us to record a non-cash charge
in an amount equal to the decrease in the value of the securities. In 2008, we recorded total
securities losses of $130.7 million.
Volatility
in financial markets can affect our noninterest income adversely. Some of our
Wealth Advisory Services (WAS) and Corporate Client Services (CCS) fees, and all of the affiliate
money manager fees, are based on financial market valuations of assets we manage or hold in custody
for clients. Changes in these valuations can affect noninterest income positively or negatively,
and ultimately affect our financial results.
Circumstances in the mid-Atlantic region, throughout the United States, and around the world
could reduce demand for our services and negatively affect our
ability to conduct business.
These circumstances include inflation, recession, unemployment, changes in market interest rates,
money supply, the competitive environment, economic uncertainty, military actions, and other
factors beyond our control.
Changes in business and economic conditions in general, or specifically in the principal markets in
which we do business, could affect our financial results adversely. Our results could be affected
adversely by a weakening of or sustained weakness in business or economic conditions that may
affect our clients and counterparties directly or indirectly. These conditions could lead to:
|
|
A decrease in the demand for loans and other products and services we offer. |
|
|
|
|
A decrease in client savings, in general, and in demand for the savings and investment products we offer, in particular. |
|
|
|
An increase in the number of clients and counterparties who become delinquent, file for
protection under bankruptcy laws, or default on their loans and other obligations to us. An
increase in the number of delinquencies, bankruptcies, or defaults could result in a higher
level of nonperforming assets, net charge-offs, and provisions for loan losses. |
Our Regional Banking business is particularly vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions
in the mid-Atlantic region, where this business is concentrated.
Competition can increase the rates we pay to attract deposits, reduce the interest rates we can
charge on loans, reduce the fees we charge for services, and affect our ability to retain existing
clients or attract new clients. We compete for loans, deposits, assets to manage or hold in
custody, and opportunities to provide trustee, administrative, and other services.
We compete for loans primarily with savings banks, savings and loan associations, commercial banks,
mortgage banking companies, insurance companies, and other institutional lenders in the
mid-Atlantic region. For deposits, we compete primarily with savings banks, savings and loan
associations, and commercial banks in the mid-Atlantic region. We also compete for deposits with
dealers in government securities, deposit brokers, and credit card, direct, and internet-based
financial institutions outside of the mid-Atlantic region.
We compete for other types of business with regional and money center banks, trust companies,
investment advisors, mutual fund companies, family office service providers, insurance companies,
accounting firms, law firms, and other service providers.
Some of our competitors are larger, have greater financial resources, have higher lending limits,
and provide services that we do not, such as investment banking. In some cases, mergers,
acquisitions, and other types of consolidation within the financial services industry have
heightened competition by reducing the number of competitors. In other cases, consolidation that
created very large institutions has reduced the number of independent, conflict-free competitors
and made it easier for us to compete.
Our business could be affected negatively if we fail to develop and market new and innovative
products and services, or fail to adopt or deploy new technologies. Our ability to compete for
business depends in part on our ability to develop ways to differentiate our products and services
and to improve efficiency. Competitive pressures plus rapid technological change in our industry
require us to invest in new products and services, and to bring them to market in a timely fashion
and at a competitive price, on an ongoing basis.
Developing and introducing new products can be risky. We may not achieve timeframe, price, or
profitability targets. Changes in the regulatory environment, competition, and market demand could
affect our ability to launch new products successfully. There could be unanticipated effects on
our system of internal controls. These factors could affect our financial performance negatively.
Page 5
Changes in accounting rules may affect our reported earnings and operating income
adversely. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and accompanying accounting
pronouncements, implementation guidelines, and interpretations for many aspects of our business are
highly complex and may involve subjective judgments. Changes in these rules or their
interpretations could affect our earnings significantly.
Changes in the value of goodwill or intangible assets on our balance sheet could affect
earnings adversely. If, under GAAP, we determine that any of our goodwill or amortizable
intangible assets are impaired, we may be required to record an expense that could reduce net income
and stockholders equity.
We review our amortizable intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. We are required to test
for impairment at least annually. In 2008, we wrote down the value of our investment in affiliate
money manager Roxbury Capital Management by $66.9 million.
Making acquisitions can be risky. Our attention may be diverted from other business
matters; we could lose key clients or staff members; we may have difficulty integrating systems and
operations; the acquired business may not meet our profitability expectations; we may assume
unanticipated liabilities; we may be unable to anticipate fully the risks associated with entering
new market segments or geographical areas; and we may incur unanticipated expenses. These factors
could affect our financial performance negatively.
We typically allocate a portion of an acquisitions purchase price to goodwill. If the value of the
acquired entity or business unit deteriorates, we may be required to record a goodwill impairment
that could reduce net income and stockholders equity.
We run the risk of having insufficient liquidity, or funding. A lack of funding, or access
to it, could impede our ability to make loans, fund other asset growth, accommodate deposit
withdrawals and other liability maturities, meet contractual obligations, and fund new business
transactions at a reasonable cost, in a timely manner, and without adverse consequences.
Core deposits (deposits from clients) are our primary source of funding. Our core deposits come
primarily from Delaware, where our consumer banking activities are concentrated. Because we make
commercial loans throughout the mid-Atlantic region, we rely on other funding sources to augment
core deposits.
A significant decrease in our core deposits, an inability to obtain alternative funding to our core
deposits, or a substantial, unexpected, or prolonged change in the level or cost of funding could
have a negative effect on our business and financial condition. At December 31, 2008, our
loan-to-core-deposits ratio was 1.57%.
For more information about this, read the Liquidity and funding section of the MD&A in our Annual
Report.
Our access to funding, and our ability to serve some clients, could be affected adversely by
unfavorable rating actions taken by credit rating agencies. Wilmington Trust Corporation and
Wilmington Trust Company are rated by Standard & Poors, Moodys Investors Service, and Fitch
Ratings. Standard & Poors downgraded our credit ratings in January 2009. Moodys and Fitch
downgraded our credit ratings in February 2009. Unfavorable rating actions by these agencies could
increase our cost of funds, reduce or limit our access to certain types of funding, or place us in
violation of certain covenants in client and other contracts in which we are a party.
Disruption in the capital and credit markets has created illiquidity and uncertainty. The
capital and credit markets have experienced severe volatility and disruption since the second half
of 2007. In some cases, these conditions have produced down
ward pressures on security prices and credit availability for issuers regardless of the underlying
financial strength of the issuers. A continuation or worsening of these conditions could have a
materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The failure of other financial institutions could affect us adversely. We have exposure to
many different industries and counterparties, and routinely execute transactions with other
financial services providers, including brokers and dealers, commercial banks, investment banks,
insurers, mutual and hedge funds, and other institutional clients. Many of these transactions
expose us to credit risk in the event of a default by our counterparty or client. In addition, our
credit risk may be exacerbated when collateral we hold cannot be relied upon or is liquidated at
prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of our exposure.
Defaults by, or even questions or rumors about, one or more financial services institutions, or
the financial services industry in general, have created market-wide liquidity problems and
could lead to losses or defaults by other institutions or us. Any such losses could materially
and adversely affect our results of operations.

There can be no assurance that recent U.S. government intervention will help stabilize the U.S.
financial system. The
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) was enacted on October 3, 2008, in response to
the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial markets and the questionable
ability of certain investment banks and other financial institutions to continue as going concerns.
Programs authorized by the EESA permit the U.S. Department of the Treasury to purchase mortgages,
mortgage-backed securities, and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for
the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets. The failure of
these programs to help stabilize the financial markets and a continuation or worsening of current
financial market conditions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations, access to credit, or the trading price of our securities.
We and our subsidiaries are subject to a variety of legal and regulatory restrictions.
Failure to comply adequately with these requirements could subject us to financial, regulatory, or
other sanctions, which could have negative effects on our financial performance and ability to
conduct business. These include restrictions imposed by the BHCA, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act, the Federal Reserve Act, the Home Owners Loan Act, and a variety of federal and state
consumer protection laws.
We and our subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings that arise from time to time
in the ordinary course of business. Some of these proceedings may seek relief or damages in
amounts that may be substantial. Typically these proceedings are complex, and many years may pass
before they are resolved.
Negative public opinion could damage our reputation. Negative public opinion can result
from the actual or perceived manner in which we conduct business, manage actual or potential
conflicts of interest and ethical issues, and protect confidential client information. It can have
an adverse effect on our ability to attract and retain clients, expose us to litigation and
regulatory actions, and ultimately affect our financial performance negatively.
Our ability to pay dividends on our common stock depends primarily on the financial results of
our wholly owned subsidiaries. As a bank holding company, we conduct almost all of our business
through WTC, WTFSB, and our other subsidiaries. Payments to us by these subsidiaries are the
primary sources of the capital we use to pay dividends. The ability of our subsidiaries to make
these payments to us is limited by their need to maintain sufficient capital and by other general
regulatory restrictions on the dividends they pay us. If they do not satisfy these requirements, we
may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock.
In addition, our participation in the United States Department of the Treasurys Capital Purchase
Program places some restrictions on our ability to pay or increase dividends on our preferred or
common stock. For more information about these and other regulatory restrictions on common stock
dividend payments, read Note 16, Capital, in the Annual Report.
In the future, we may issue debt and equity securities that could reduce the value of our
common stock. We may attempt to increase our capital resources by issuing additional common
stock, preferred stock, or secured or unsecured debt. Some of these issues, were they to occur,
could substantially dilute the value of our common stock. Because our decision to incur debt and
issue securities in future offerings may be influenced by market conditions and other factors beyond
our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of our future offerings or
debt financings. In addition, market conditions could require us to accept less favorable terms for
the issuance of our securities in the future. More information about these potential activities is
in the prospectus supplement and amended shelf registration filed with the SEC on January 12, 2009.
These documents are available on www.wilmingtontrust.com in the Investor Relations section under
SEC filings.
Our certificate of incorporation may discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals. Our
certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, and Delaware law include certain anti-takeover
provisions. These protections could discourage potential acquisition proposals, or delay or prevent
a change in control of our company. Under these provisions, we have a classified Board of
Directors; we require shareholders to inform us in advance and meet certain other conditions if
they nominate directors; and we have the ability to issue up to 1 million shares of preferred stock
and the balance of our 150 million shares of common stock in the event of an unsolicited
acquisition proposal.
Other risks could affect our earnings and damage our reputation. These include human
error, systems failures, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, and inadequate controls and
procedures.

is in the discussion of contractual obligations, which is on page 60 in our Annual Report, and in
Note 13, Commitments and contingencies, which begins on

operates our offices in California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, and Massachusetts. WAS and CCS
operate our offices in New York. CCS operates our offices in Arizona, Minnesota, Nevada, South

In April 2002, our
Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 8 million
shares of our stock. |
The Federal Reserve Boards policy is that a bank holding company should not pay dividends unless its prospective
earnings retention rate is consistent with its capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition. We
believe our payment of dividends during 2008 was consistent with the Federal Reserve Boards policy. We reduced
the quarterly dividend on our common stock to $0.1725 on January 29, 2009.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
At its meeting on February 25, 2009, the Compensation Committee (Committee) of our Board of
Directors established the annual performance factors for bonus awards for 2009 that are payable in
2010 for the named executive officers in our Proxy Statement.
For Ted T. Cecala, those performance factors include our earnings per share, return on assets, and
return on equity for 2009 compared to peer institutions, and how our net income for 2009 compares
to our 2009 business plan.
For Robert V. A. Harra Jr., those performance factors include increasing deposits, expanding our
presence in Maryland and New Jersey, and improving the profitability of the Regional Banking
business.
For David R. Gibson, those performance factors include continued management of our interest rate
risk, monitoring of our funding strategies, and assisting in our acquisition efforts and
integrations of acquired businesses.
For William J. Farrell II, those performance factors include increasing sales for the CCS business
internationally, increasing sales of our investment management services, and completing the
integration of our retirement services activities with those provided by Wilmington Trust
Retirement and Institutional Services Company (the former AST Capital Trust Company, which we
acquired in April 2008).
For Robert M. Balentine, those performance factors include aligning the staff and resources of
Wilmington Trust Investment Management (WTIM) with the WAS and CCS business lines, internalizing
asset management provided by outside investment firms where appropriate, increasing sales of WTIMs
mutual fund products, and expanding the scope of our brokerage activities in the mid-Atlantic
region.
The
Committee also approved an amendment to our Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP).
Under that amendment, the compensation covered by the SERP is a participants compensation for the
highest paid five of the final 10 years of his or her employment.
The Committee also awarded the following bonuses in the form of restricted stock to its named
executive officers: $200,000 each to Messrs. Cecala, Harra, and Farrell; $195,000 to Mr. Gibson;
and $187,500 to Mr. Balentine. This restricted stock vests in three equal installments over the
three-year period beginning February 26, 2009, but not before
the U.S. Treasury no longer holds any debt
or equity security we issued under the Capital Purchase Program. Since these bonuses are in the form of restricted
stock, they are subject to forfeiture prior to vesting.
