Deferred Compensation Supplemental Executive Plan

 

The Bank maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation supplemental executive retirement plan (“DCSERP”) with a senior executive.  Effective during the first quarter of 2015, the DCSERP was amended to allow the executive to invest all or a portion of the deferred compensation in Corporation stock, provided that such stock will only be settled in Corporation stock.  The Rabbi Trust which holds the assets invested on behalf of the deferred compensation DCSERP, was also similarly amended and effective during the first quarter of 2015. The assets invested in bonds related to this Plan total $1.0 million at June 30, 2016 and $930,000 at December 31, 2015, and are included in other assets at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet.  The liability for the benefit obligation reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities totaled $1.0 million at June 30, 2016 and $930,000 at December 31, 2015. Additionally, the Rabbi Trust holds 8,900 shares of Corporation stock at June 30, 2016 which is accounted for at its cost basis of $100,000, which is offset in stockholders’ equity by the benefit obligation of $100,000.  Rabbi trust shares are considered outstanding shares for both basic and diluted EPS.

 

Supplemental Retirement Agreements

 

The Bank has entered into supplemental retirement agreements (“SERP”) with seven executive officers, which provide for payments upon attaining the retirement age specified in the agreements, generally ages 65-67.  The present value of these future payments is accrued over the remaining service or vesting term.  Supplemental retirement benefits generally accrue as they are vested; however a termination of employment subsequent to a change in control will result in the vesting of all benefits that would have accrued to the officer’s normal retirement date.  During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, SERP expense totaled $192,000 and $151,000, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, SERP expense totaled $384,000 and $302,000 respectively.

 

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

 

Pension expense (income) totaled $5,000 and $6,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $11,000 and $11,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Bank expects to contribute $19,000 during the plan year ending December 31, 2016.

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

The Corporation maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) to provide eligible employees the opportunity to own Corporation stock.  This plan is a tax-qualified retirement plan for the benefit of all Corporation employees.  Contributions are allocated to eligible participants on the basis of compensation, subject to federal tax limits.

 

The Corporation granted a loan to the ESOP for the purchase of shares of the Corporation’s common stock at the Conversion date.  As of June 30, 2016, the ESOP holds 395,543 shares, or 9% of the common stock outstanding on that date.  The loan obtained by the ESOP from the Corporation to purchase common stock is payable annually over 25 years at the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, which is currently 3.50% per annum at June 30, 2016.  The loan is secured by the shares purchased, which are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid.  Any cash dividends paid on allocated shares will, at the direction of the Corporation, be credited to the participant accounts and invested in the Investment Fund; be distributed to the participants in proportion with the participants’ stock fund account balance; be distributed to the participants within 90 days of the calendar year in which paid in proportion with the participants’ stock fund account balance; or be used to make payments on the outstanding debt of the ESOP.  Cash dividends paid on unallocated shares will be used to repay the outstanding debt of the ESOP then due.  If the amount of dividends exceeds the outstanding debt of the ESOP, then, in the sole discretion of the Corporation, cash dividends may be allocated to active participants on a non-discriminatory basis, or be deemed to be general earnings of the ESOP.  Shares used as collateral to secure the loan are released and available for allocation to eligible employees as the principal and interest on the loan is paid.
