Exhibit 10.8

 

FIRST FED BANK and FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP

 

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

(effective January 1, 2022)

 

Compensation for Non-Employee Directors

For purposes of this Policy, it is anticipated that the non-employee directors of First Northwest Bancorp (“FNWB”) will also serve as the non-employee directors of First Fed Bank (“First Fed”, and, together with FNWB, the “Company”). Directors of FNWB and First Fed will be collectively referred to as “Directors.” It further anticipated that Directors will serve in identical roles for the Boards and Committees of FNWB and First Fed to the extent such roles exist for both companies. The Boards have therefore determined that Directors shall be compensated for their collective service to the Company unless Directors serve a specific role with either FNWB or First Fed, but not both.

 

Effective January 1, 2022, Directors shall be compensated for their service on the boards of FNWB and First Fed in accordance with the following:

 

 

1.

The Company pays each Director an annual retainer of $33,280 which amount shall be paid in equal monthly installments of $2,773 (the “Annual Retainer”). Non-employee directors are not compensated for participation in Board or Committee meetings.

 

 

2.

In addition to the Annual Retainer, the Chairperson of the Boards of Directors shall be paid an annual retainer of $9,984 which amount shall be paid in equal monthly installments of $832.

 

 

3.

In addition to the Annual Retainer, the Chair of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and Board Loan Committee, and each Director who is a member of a Committee, shall be paid an annual retainer as follows.

Directors who are also employees of FNWB and/or First Fed shall receive no additional compensation for serving as a Director or as a member of any Committee of the Boards of Directors for such companies.
