EIGHTH AMENDMENT
TO THE
WESBANCO, INC. KSOP


(As Amended and Restated effective January 1, 2014)

 

 

WHEREAS, Wesbanco, Inc. (the “Company”) maintains the Wesbanco, Inc. KSOP, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2014 (the “Plan”);

 

WHEREAS, Section 12.6 of the Plan reserves to the Company the right to amend the Plan at any time;

 

WHEREAS, the Company has amended the Plan from time to time;

 

WHEREAS, Congress has adopted and the President has signed the SECURE Act and the CARES Act since the Plan was most recently amended;

 

WHEREAS, with respect to required minimum distributions, the effect of the SECURE Act and the CARES Act together is to suspend the required minimum distribution for a Participant who has reached age 70.5 indefinitely and permanently for the period between age 70.5 and age 72.5;

 

WHEREAS, the Company believes that certain Participants have considered the required minimum distribution as part of their respective retirement planning and would like to allow Participants to continue to receive what would have been a required minimum distribution but for the SECURE Act and/or the CARES Act; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company has decided to amend the Plan to amend the Plan’s distribution provisions by deleting the existing Section 5.7 (dealing with a special required minimum distribution election based on circumstances existing in 2019 but no longer possible) and adopting a new Section 5.7 to read as set forth below.


NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended by deleting the existing Section 5.7 in its entirety and substituting therefor the following new Section 5.7:

 

“Section 5.7. Special Minimum Distribution Election.

 

Effective January 1, 2020 and notwithstanding anything in this Article V to the contrary, a Participant, Inactive Participant or Beneficiary who would have been required to receive a required minimum distribution from this Plan but for the effects of the SECURE Act and/or the CARES Act (that is, as the Plan was in effect on December 31, 2019 before the effective date of adoption of the SECURE Act or the CARES Act), shall have the right to request that the amount that would otherwise have been a required minimum distribution be distributed to such Participant, Inactive Participant or Beneficiary at the same time and manner as such


amount that would otherwise have been a required minimum distribution would have been distributed. The Committee shall cause each Participant, Inactive Participant and Beneficiary affected by the SECURE Act and/or the CARES Act with respect to required minimum distributions to be notified timely of the effect of the SECURE Act and/or the CARES Act on his or her required minimum distribution and of his or her right to elect to receive the amount which would otherwise have been a required minimum distribution as a partial distribution from this Plan. The Committee shall determine the form of such notice and election in its reasonable discretion.”

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Eighth Amendment of the Plan is, by the authority of the Board of Directors of the Company, executed on behalf of the Company effective the 1st day of January, 2023.
