Note 10. | Employee Benefits
Employee Stock Ownership and Savings Plan The Company maintains an Employee Stock Ownership and Savings Plan (“KSOP”). Coverage under the plan is provided to all employees meeting minimum eligibility requirements. Employer Stock Fund. Annual contributions to the stock portion of the plan were made through 2006 at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and allocated to plan participants on the basis of relative compensation. The plan was frozen to future contributions for periods after 2006. Substantially all plan assets are invested in Common Stock of the Company. The Company reports the contributions to the plan as a component of salaries and benefits. All contributions made after 2006 have been made to the employee savings feature of the plan. Accordingly, there were no contributions to the Employer Stock Fund in 2011, 2010, or 2009. The Employer Stock Fund held 588,656, 583,256, and 504,801 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Employee Savings Plan. The Company provides a 401(k) savings feature within the KSOP that is available to substantially all employees meeting minimum eligibility requirements. Under the 401(k) feature, the Company makes matching contributions to employee deferrals at levels determined by the board on an annual basis. The cost of the Company’s 100% matching contributions to qualified deferrals under the 401(k) savings component of the KSOP was $1.34 million, $1.12 million, and $1.37 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. In 2011, 2010, and 2009, the Company made its matching contribution in Company Common Stock. Employee Welfare Plan The Company provides various medical, dental, vision, life, accidental death and dismemberment, and long-term disability insurance benefits to all full-time employees who elect coverage under this program. The health plan is managed by a third party administrator. Monthly employer and employee contributions are made to a tax-exempt employer benefits trust against which the third party administrator processes and pays claims. Stop-loss insurance coverage limits the Company’s risk of loss to $85 thousand and $4.36 million for individual and aggregate claims, respectively. Total Company expenses under the health plan were $3.49 million, $2.98 million, and $1.59 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Deferred Compensation Plan The Company has deferred compensation agreements with certain current and former officers providing for benefit payments over various periods commencing at retirement or death. The liability as of year-end 2011 and 2010 was $463 thousand and $467 thousand, respectively. The annual expenses associated with these agreements were $60 thousand in 2011, 2010, and 2009. The obligation is based upon the present value of the expected payments and estimated life expectancies of the individuals. The Company maintains a life insurance contract on the life of one of the participants covered under these agreements. Proceeds derived from death benefits are intended to provide reimbursement of plan benefits paid over the post employment lives of the participants. Premiums on the insurance contract are currently paid through policy dividends on the cash surrender values of $2.06 million, $1.29 million, and $1.20 million at December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Supplemental Executive Retention Plan The Company maintains a Supplemental Executive Retention Plan (the “SERP”) for key members of senior management. The SERP provides for a defined benefit at normal retirement age targeted at 35% of projected final base salary. Benefits under the SERP become payable at age 62. The associated benefit accrued as of year-end 2011 and 2010 was $5.11 million and $4.07 million, respectively, while the associated expense incurred in connection with the Executive Retention Plan was $519 thousand, $424 thousand, and $402 thousand for 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

At December 31, 2011, the actuarial benefit plan obligation was $5.11 million. Directors’ Supplemental Retirement Plan The Company maintains a Directors’ Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”) for its non-management directors. The Directors’ Plan provides for a benefit upon retirement from service on the Board. The Directors’ Plan was amended in December 2010 to substitute a defined benefit in lieu of the previous indexed benefit. Effective January 1, 2011, the Directors’ Plan provides for a defined benefit at normal retirement age targeted at 100% of the highest consecutive three years average compensation. Benefits under the Directors’ Plan become payable at age 70. The associated benefit accrued as of year-end 2011 and 2010 was $943 thousand and $1.60 million, respectively, while the associated expense incurred in connection with the Directors’ Plan was $162 thousand, $259 thousand, and $158 thousand for 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.
