RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company maintains a 401(k) profit-sharing plan for employees who meet the plan's eligibility requirements. Substantially all of the Company’s employees are covered by the plan, which contains limited match or safe harbor provisions. Employer contributions to the plan are based on the performance of the Company and are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Employer contribution expense totaled $432,000, $334,000 and $361,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015.
The Company has deferred compensation agreements with certain present and former directors, whereby a director or his beneficiaries will receive a monthly retirement benefit beginning at age 65. The arrangement is funded by an amount of life insurance on the participating director, which is calculated to meet the Company’s obligations under the compensation agreement. The cash value of the life insurance policies is an unrestricted asset of the Company. The estimated present value of future benefits to be paid totaled $94,000 and $105,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016. Expense for this plan totaled $11,000, $12,000 and $12,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015.
The Company also has supplemental discretionary deferred compensation plans for directors and executive officers. The plans are funded annually with director fees and salary reductions which are either placed in a trust account invested by the Bank’s OFA division or recognized as a liability. The trust account balance totaled $1,571,000 and $1,483,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016 and is offset by other liabilities in the same amount. Expense for these plans totaled $10,000, $15,000 and $30,000, for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015.
In addition, the Company has two supplemental retirement and salary continuation plans for directors and executive officers. These plans are funded with single premium life insurance on the plan participants. The cash value of the life insurance policies is an unrestricted asset of the Company. The estimated present value of future benefits to be paid totaled $6,109,000 and $5,662,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016. Expense for these plans totaled $739,000, $727,000 and $626,000, for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015.
The Company has promised a continuation of life insurance coverage to certain persons post-retirement. The estimated present value of future benefits to be paid totaled $937,000 and $860,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016. Expense for this plan totaled $77,000, $61,000 and $129,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015.
Life insurance policy cash values and trust account balances, and estimated present values of future benefits and deferred compensation liabilities, noted above are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.
