The Company froze the accrual of benefits on the qualified defined benefit pension plan in 2017.

Employee Profit-Sharing and 401(k) Plan

The Company maintains a Profit-Sharing Plan (“PSP”) that provides for deferral of federal and state income taxes on employee contributions allowed under Section 401(k) of federal law. The Company matches employee contributions up to 100% of the first 4% of each participant’s salary, eligible bonus, and eligible incentive. Employees are eligible to participate in the PSP on the first day of their initial date of service. Each year, the Company may also make a discretionary contribution to the PSP and employees are eligible to participate in the discretionary contribution portion of the PSP on the first day of their initial date of service. Additionally, employees

must be employed on the last day of the calendar year or retire at the normal retirement age of 65 during the calendar year to receive the discretionary contribution.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for its eligible employees. Employees are eligible to participate upon the attainment of age 21 and the completion of 12 months of service consisting of at least 1,000 hours. Purchases of the Company’s common stock by the ESOP will be funded by employer contributions or reinvestment of cash dividends.

Total expenses related to the PSP and ESOP for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were $653,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. Total expenses related to the PSP and ESOP for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were $2.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

For executives participating in the Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“DC SERP”), the Company will make a discretionary contribution of up to 10% of each executive’s base salary and bonus to his or her account under the Company’s DC SERP. There were no expenses related to the DC SERP for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $68,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Total expenses related to the DC SERP for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, were $25,000 and $203,000, respectively.
