The expense of this salary retirement plan was $37,000 and $32,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $110,000 and $99,000 for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The discount rate used to determine the Company’s obligation was 6.25% at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Total supplemental retirement plan expense amounted to $14,000 and $19,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $44,000 and $57,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company enacted a “hard freeze” for this supplemental retirement plan as of January 1, 2022. On February 10, 2022, the Bank and the non-employee members of the board of directors of the Bank entered into amendments to the Supplemental Director Retirement Agreements (the “Agreements”) previously entered into by the Bank and the directors. The amendments eliminate the formula for determining the normal annual retirement benefit (previously “70% of Final Base Fee”) and replaces it with a fixed annual benefit of $20,000. The amendments also eliminate the formula for determining the benefit payable on a change in control (previously tied to the normal annual retirement formula with certain imputed increases in the Base Fee) and replacing it with a fixed amount equal to the present value of $200,000. The effect of the amendments is to eliminate the variable and increasing costs associated with the Agreements. Instead, since the normal annual retirement benefit will be a fixed amount, the future costs associated with the Agreements is now more predictable. It is the intention of the Bank that no new directors of the Bank would enter into similar agreements. Additionally, the Company has a deferred director’s fee plan, which allows members of the board of directors to defer the receipt of fees that otherwise would be paid to them in cash. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total deferred directors' fees amounted to $929,000 and $718,000, respectively.
