INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT


Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management


Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers


On November 27, the board of directors of Peoples State Bank (the “Bank”), the principal operating subsidiary of PSB Holdings, Inc. (“PSB”), approved amendments to its deferred compensation plans.  The board of directors of PSB also approved a form of restricted stock agreement, although no awards of restricted stock have yet been made.


Executive Deferred Compensation Plan


For several years the Bank has maintained a plan under which individual Executive Deferred Compensation Agreements with senior management level executives permit the officers to elect to defer up to 20% of annual base salary with a matching contribution made by the Bank in an amount equal to 20% of the amount deferred by the executive, up to a maximum of 3% of the executive’s base salary.  Matching contributions and interest accrued thereon is subject to a vesting schedule.  Deferred amounts and matching contributions are credited with interest at a rate stated in the agreements and paid to the executive upon termination of employment.  Scott M. Cattanach, Chief Financial Officer of PSB, and certain other individuals participate in the plan.


The following changes to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan will be effective for the plan year beginning January 1, 2008:


·

Executives may elect to defer up to 70% of annual incentive compensation.

·

Vesting for matching contributions and related interest was changed from class year vesting of 20% per year (under which each year’s matching contribution vested over a five year period) to a six year vesting schedule at a rate of 20% per year beginning at completion of the executive’s second year of plan participation.  This changes now equates vesting under the agreements with the schedule used in the profit sharing portion of the Bank’s 401(k) plan.

·

Interest will be credited at a rate equal to 100% of the Bank’s return on equity with a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 15%, rather than 50% of return on equity with a floor of 0% and a ceiling of 10%.

·

Future deferrals to the plan may be suspended by action of the Bank.  A tax gross-up feature was added in the event the plan is terminated by the Bank rather than suspended.

Peter W. Knitt Deferred Compensation Agreement


Mr. Knitt, President and CEO of PSB and the Bank, may elect to defer up to 80% of his base salary with the Bank matching 20% of his deferral, up to a maximum of 3% of his base salary.  Interest is credited at a rate equal to the Bank’s return on equity minus 400 basis points.  Mr. Knitt will have completed five years of vesting service and will be vested in all matching contributions and related interest at December 31, 2007.


Effective January 1, 2008, the amended provisions described above for the Bank’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan will also be effective for Mr. Knitt’s agreement and, effective January 1, 2009, the maximum amount of base salary that Mr. Knitt will be permitted to defer will be 20%.


Restricted Stock Plan


The board of directors of PSB will make grants of restricted stock to executive officers and other key employees of the Bank based upon the recommendation of the Bank’s Compensation Committee.  Restricted stock awards will be subject to service vesting at a rate determined at the time of grant.
