Note 10, Benefit Plans:
We have a non-qualified, non-contributory supplemental executive retirement plan (the “SERP”) for employees whose retirement benefits are
reduced due to their annual compensation levels. The SERP was frozen as of December 31, 2015 and no additional benefits were earned or have been accrued after that date. The SERP provides annual benefits amounting to 55% of final average earnings less benefits payable from Social Security benefits and our former pension plan which was settled in 2014. The SERP limits
the total amount of annual retirement benefits that may be paid to a participant from all sources (former pension plan, Social Security and the SERP) to $125,000.
The SERP is not funded so we pay benefits directly to participants.
The following table summarizes information about our SERP.
Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets consist of:
The net actuarial loss recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) before the effect of income taxes was $2,198,000 in 2021 and $2,554,000 in 2020.
Net pension cost included the following components:
The estimated amount that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic cost in 2022 is approximately $217,000.
Assumptions
We use a measurement date of December 31 for our SERP plan. Assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for years ended December 31
are as follows:
Assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31 for the SERP are as
follows:
Cash Flows
The following schedule outlines the expected benefit payments related to the SERP in future years. These expected
benefits were estimated based on the same actuarial assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31, 2021.
Other Plans
We have an employee savings/retirement (401(k)) plan to which substantially all our employees may contribute. We match employee contributions 100% up to 4% of a participant’s
compensation, with a maximum match of $11,600 per participant. We suspended the matching contribution for six weeks during 2020 as part of
our business continuity plan. We expensed employer contributions of approximately $6,046,000, $4,069,000 and $5,173,000 in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
We offer participation in a self-directed, non-qualified deferred compensation plan to certain executives and employees. The plan allows a
participant to defer a portion of their income. We may also make annual contributions based on the participant’s annual deferral, and our contributions were approximately $74,000, $43,000 and $61,000 in 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The investments for the plan (and its predecessor plan) are held in rabbi trusts and are used to meet the obligations of the plans and precludes
us from using such assets for operating purposes. The plans’ assets totaled approximately $9,184,000 and $7,949,000 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are included in other assets. The related liability under the plans of approximately $9,201,000 and $8,063,000 at December 31,
2021 and 2020, respectively, is included in other liabilities.
We offer no post-retirement benefits other than the plans discussed above and no significant post-employment benefits.
