Deferred Compensation Agreement

Note 17. Deferred Compensation Agreement 

The Corporation has entered into deferred compensation agreements with one former and one current director that provides for the payment of benefits over a ten-year period, beginning at age 65.  At inception, the present value of the obligations under these deferred compensation agreements amounted to approximately $600 thousand, which is being accrued over the estimated remaining service period of these directors.  Expense associated with the agreements was $2 thousand for 2016, $76 thousand for 2015 and $18 thousand for 2014.   Payments for the directors deferred compensation plan are scheduled through 2022.

The Bank also has a Director’s Deferred Compensation Plan, whereby each director may voluntarily participate and elect each year to defer all or a portion of their Bank director’s fees. Each participant directs the investment of their own account among various publicly available mutual funds designated by the Bank’s Investment and Trust Services department. Changes in the account balance beyond the amount deferred to the account are solely the result of the performance of the selected mutual fund. The Bank maintains an offsetting asset and liability for the deferred account balances and the annual expense is recorded as a component of director’s fees as if it were a direct payment to the director. The Bank will not incur any expense when the account goes into payout. 

The Corporation has two deferred compensation agreements it recorded as part of its acquisition of Fulton Bancshares Corporation in 2006.  No future expense will be recognized for these plans. Payments for the deferred compensation agreements are scheduled through 2021.
