Share-based Compensation [Abstract] |
Employee Benefit Plans | Employee Benefit Plans Pursuant to the terms of the City Holding Company 2003 Incentive Plan and the City Holding Company 2013 Incentive Plan (the "2003 Plan” and "2013 Plan", respectively), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, or its delegate, may, from time-to-time, grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), or stock awards to employees, directors and individuals who provide service to the Company (collectively, "Plan Participants"). The 2003 Plan expired in April of 2013 and the 2013 Plan was approved by the shareholders in April 2013. A maximum of 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued upon the exercise of stock options, SARs and stock awards. These limitations may be adjusted in the event of a change in the number of outstanding shares of common stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or other similar event. Specific terms of options and SARs awarded, including vesting periods, exercise prices (stock price at date of grant) and expiration dates are determined at the date of grant and are evidenced by agreements between the Company and the awardee. The exercise price of the option grants equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. All incentive stock options and SARs will be exercisable up to 10 years from the date granted and all options and SARs are exercisable for the period specified in the individual agreement. As of September 30, 2014, under the 2003 Plan and 2013 Plan, 411,601 stock options had been awarded and 230,109 restricted stock awards had been awarded, respectively. Each award from the 2003 Plan and 2013 Plan is evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the option price, the duration of the option, the number of shares to which the option pertains, and such other provisions as the Compensation Committee, or its delegate, determines. The option price for each grant is equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Options granted expire at such time as the Compensation Committee, or its delegate, determines at the date of the grant and in no event does the exercise period exceed a maximum of ten years. Upon a change-in-control of the Company, as defined in the 2003 Plan and 2013 Plan, all outstanding options and awards shall immediately vest.

Proceeds from stock option exercises were $0.6 million and $2.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Shares issued in connection with stock option exercises are issued from available treasury shares. If no treasury shares are available, new shares would be issued from available authorized shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 all shares issued in connection with stock option exercises and restricted stock awards were issued from available treasury stock. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $0.3 million and $0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options approximated $0.5 million at September 30, 2014. At such date, the weighted-average period over which this unrecognized expense was expected to be recognized was 1.5 years. The fair value of the options is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted:
| Nine months ended September 30,
| 2014 |  | 2013
Risk-free interest rate | 2.42 | % |  | 1.88 | %
Expected dividend yield | 3.60 | % |  | 3.70 | %
Volatility factor | 48.75 | % |  | 41.35 | %
Expected life of option | 8.0 years |  |  | 8.0 years |
Restricted Shares The Company records compensation expense with respect to restricted shares in an amount equal to the fair value of the common stock covered by each award on the date of grant. The restricted shares awarded become fully vested after various periods of continued employment from the respective dates of grant. The Company is entitled to an income tax deduction in an amount equal to the taxable income reported by the holders of the restricted shares when the restrictions are released and the shares are issued. Compensation is being charged to expense over the respective vesting periods. Restricted shares are forfeited if officers and employees terminate prior to the lapsing of restrictions. The Company records forfeitures of restricted stock as treasury share repurchases and any compensation cost previously recognized is reversed in the period of forfeiture. Recipients of restricted shares do not pay any cash consideration to the Company for the shares, have the right to vote all shares subject to such grant and receive all dividends with respect to such shares, whether or not the shares have vested. Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted shares was approximately $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted shares was $3.2 million at September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, this unrecognized expense is expected to be recognized over 3.6 years based on the weighted average-life of the restricted shares. A summary of the Company’s restricted shares activity and related information is presented below:
| Nine months ended September 30,
| 2014 |  | 2013

Benefit Plans The Company provides retirement benefits to its employees through the City Holding Company 401(k) Plan and Trust (“the 401(k) Plan”), which is intended to be compliant with Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) section 404(c). The Company’s total expense associated with the retirement benefit plan approximated $0.6 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company maintains two frozen defined benefit pension plans (“the Defined Benefit Plans”), which were inherited from the Company's acquisition of the plan sponsors (Horizon Bancorp, Inc. and Community Financial Corporation). The Company made contributions of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million to the Defined Benefit Plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The following table presents the components of the net periodic pension cost of the Defined Benefit Plans (in thousands):
