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 June 30, 2015, under the 2003 Plan and 2013 Plan, 438,515 stock options had been awarded and 241,596 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. Certain stock options and restricted stock awards have performance-based vesting requirements. These shares will vest in three separate annual installments of approximately 33.33% per installment on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date, subject further to performance-based vesting requirements. The performance-based vesting requirements are as follows: * First Installment – the mean return on average assets of the Company (excluding merger and acquisition expenses and other nonrecurring items as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the three years immediately prior to the vesting date is equal to or exceeds the median return on average assets over the 20 year period immediately preceding the vesting date of all FDIC insured depository institutions. * Second Installment – the mean return on average assets of the Company (excluding merger and acquisition expenses and other nonrecurring items as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the four years immediately prior to the vesting date is equal to or exceeds the median return on average assets over the 20 year period immediately preceding the vesting date of all FDIC insured depository institutions. * Third Installment – the mean return on average assets of the Company (excluding merger and acquisition expenses and other nonrecurring items as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the five years immediately prior to the vesting date is equal to or exceeds the median return on average assets over the 20 year period immediately preceding the vesting date of all FDIC insured depository institutions.

Proceeds from stock option exercises were $1.0 million and $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 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 six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 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 during both the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was approximately $0.1 million for both the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options approximated $0.5 million at June 30, 2015. 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:
| Six months ended June 30,
| 2015 |  | 2014
Risk-free interest rate | 1.95 | % |  | 2.42 | %
Expected dividend yield | 3.50 | % |  | 3.60 | %
Volatility factor | 45.40 | % |  | 48.75 | %
Expected life of option | 7.0 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 $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted shares was $3.4 million at June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, this unrecognized expense is expected to be recognized over 3.4 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:
| Six months ended June 30,

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 $0.4 million for both the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. 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 $0.2 million to the Defined Benefit Plans during each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The following table presents the components of the net periodic pension cost of the Defined Benefit Plans (in thousands):
