Employee Benefit Plans
 
Prior to December 31, 2011, the Company sponsored a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees of Middleburg Bank and Middleburg Trust Company.  The defined benefit pension plan was terminated in in February of 2011, and all plan assets were distributed to participants as of December 31, 2011.  When the plan was active, the Company funded pension costs in accordance with the funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.  Benefit accruals and eligibility were frozen as of September 30, 2009.  This had the effect of reducing the Projected Benefit Obligation by an estimated $1,577,000, which was recorded as a curtailment gain in 2009.

401(k) Plan
 
The Company has a 401(k) plan whereby a majority of employees participate in the plan.  Employees may contribute up to 100 percent of their compensation subject to certain limits based on federal tax laws.  The Company makes matching contributions equal to 50 percent of the first 6 percent of an employee's compensation contributed to the plan.  Matching contributions vest to the employee equally over a five-year period.  For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, expense attributable to the plan amounted to $250,000, $258,000 and $219,000, respectively.
 
Money Purchase Pension Plan (MPPP)

The Middleburg Financial Corporation Defined Benefit Pension Plan was replaced by a Money Purchase Pension Plan put into effect on January 1, 2010.  Employees who have attained age 21 and completed one year of service are eligible to participate in the plan as of the first day of the month following the completion of such eligibility provisions.  Employees earn a year of service if they complete 1,000 hours of service in a plan year.  Service with Middleburg Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries prior to the effective date of the Plan counts toward a participant's initial eligibility to participate in the plan.
 
Each year, a participant receives an allocation of an employer contribution equal to 6.5% of total compensation (up to the statutory maximum) plus an additional contribution of 2.75% of compensation in excess of the Social Security taxable wage base (up to the statutory maximum).  To receive an allocation, the participant must complete 1,000 hours of service in the plan year and be employed on the last day of the plan year.  The requirement to be employed on the last day of the plan year does not apply if a participant dies, retires, or becomes disabled during the plan year.
 
A participant becomes vested in his employer contributions according to a schedule which allows for graduated vesting and full vesting after five years of service. Service with Middleburg Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries prior to the effective date of the Plan count toward a participant's vested percentage.
 
Assets are held in a pooled investment account and managed by Middleburg Trust Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  Distributions may be made upon termination of employment, death or disability.
 
The plan is administered by the Benefits Committee of the Company.  The plan may be amended from time to time by the Board or its delegate and may be terminated by the Board at any time for any reason.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, expense attributable to the plan amounted to $826,000 and $762,000, respectively.  The plan was not in effect for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Deferred Compensation Plans
Several deferred compensation plans were adopted; including a defined benefit SERP and an elective deferral plan for the Chairman, and a defined contribution SERP for certain Executive Officers.  The two plans for the Chairman made installment payouts in 2011 and 2010.  The defined contribution SERP on the Executive Officers includes a vesting schedule, and is currently credited at a rate of the 10-year treasury plus 1.5%.  The deferred compensation expense for 2011, 2010, and 2009, was $133,000, $150,000, and $(144,000), respectively.  The negative expense in 2009 was due to a change to plan assumptions, which resulted in a benefit of $198,000 being recognized.  The plans are unfunded; however, life insurance has been acquired on the life of the employees in amounts sufficient to help meet the costs of the obligations.
