Benefit Plans

17. Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors an unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) for certain key executives. On March 11, 2019, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the SERP to freeze the SERP. As a result of such amendment, effective July 1, 2019, there will be no new accruals of benefits, including service accruals. Existing benefits under the SERP, as of the effective date of the amendment described above, will otherwise continue in accordance with the terms of the SERP.
