The Corporation sponsors a contributory defined contribution Section 401(k) plan. The plan permits eligible employees to make pre-tax and Roth contributions up to 70% of salary. Employees 21 years of age or over with a minimum of 90 days of service are eligible for matching contributions by the Corporation at 100% of elective contributions not to exceed 5% of plan salary. The Corporation’s matching contribution and related expenses were $2.4 million, $1.8 million, and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. A profit sharing discretionary non-contributory pension plan component is in place for employees 21 years of age or over with a minimum of one-year with 1,000 hours of service and allows employer contributions in an amount equal to a percentage of eligible compensation plus 5.7% of the compensation in excess of $169 thousand, subject to a $345 thousand salary limit. The Corporation recognized profit sharing expense of $1.4 million, $3.6 million, and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 respectively.

The Corporation has adopted a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan ("SERP") for certain executives to compensate those executive participants in the Corporation’s retirement plan whose benefits are limited by compensation limitations under current tax law. Additionally, on December 31, 2021, the Corporation adopted a Defined Contribution Plan for several employees (the "DCP"), pursuant to which the Corporation will make certain annual contributions to the DCP on the employee's behalf, which will be paid to the employee following their termination of employment from the Corporation or, if earlier, upon the employee becoming disabled. The DCP became effective as of January 2, 2022. The SERP and DCP are considered an unfunded plan for tax and ERISA purposes and all obligations arising under the SERP and DCP are payable from the general assets of the Corporation.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, obligations of $10.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively, were included in other liabilities for the SERP and DCP. Expenses related to the SERP and DCP were $866 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024, $565 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023, and $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Corporation has established a Survivor Benefit Plan for the benefit of outside directors. The purpose of the plan is to provide life insurance benefits to beneficiaries of the Corporation’s directors who at the time of their death are participants in the plan. The plan is considered an unfunded plan for tax and ERISA purposes and all obligations arising under the plan are payable from the general assets of the Corporation. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, obligations of $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, were included in other liabilities for this plan. Expenses (benefits) related to this plan were $(17) thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024, $(213) thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023, and $81 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022.
