SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

INTRODUCTION

Effective January 1, 1986, Associated Banc-Corp (the “Company”) adopted the Associated Banc-Corp Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) to benefit certain of its employees by facilitating the accumulation of funds for their retirement. The Plan was restated in its entirety effective as of January 1, 1996. The Plan was again restated effective January 1, 2008 to comply with Code (as defined below) section 409A. Effective January 1, 2012, the Plan is restated to clarify the calculation of benefits, update eligibility, and comply with current best practices.

For purposes of the above calculations, the amount the Participant would have accrued under the RAP and the 401(k)
/ESOP shall be determined without regard to any applicable Code limits, including the provisions of Code sections 401(a)(17) and 415. Accruals under this Plan shall occur at the same rate and time as accruals under the RAP and 401(k)/ESOP.

ARTICLE 8

Memorandum Account
