Dec. 31, 2020

The Compensation Committee of the Company has determined that it is appropriate to award shares of the common stock of the Company to Outside Directors and Employees that are officers of the Company or the Bank who also serve as Directors of the Company and the Bank as a portion of their retainer for services rendered as Directors of the Company and the Bank. The Committee believes that it is appropriate to award the Directors Shares equal to approximately $4,000, rounded to the nearest whole Share on an annual basis commencing on June 5, 2020 and thereafter on the first Friday of June in each year. The value for the Shares is to be based upon the closing price for Shares on June 4, 2020 and thereafter on the first Thursday in June each year. On June 5, 2020, each Director received 176 shares. On November 20, 2020, a new director received 20 prorated shares.
