Deferred Compensation Arrangements [Abstract] |
Deferred Compensation | Deferred Compensation The Company has multiple deferred compensation agreements with current and former employees. The Executive Deferred Compensation Plan is reserved for members of management and highly compensated employees of the Company and the Bank. During 2019, the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan was expanded to include additional officers who had not previously participated. The Executive Deferred Compensation Plan permits a participant to elect, each year, to defer receipt of up to 100% of their salary and bonus to be earned in the following year. The Executive Deferred Compensation Plan also permits the participant to defer the receipt of performance-based compensation not later than six months before the end of the period for which it is to be earned. The deferred amounts are credited to an account maintained on behalf of the participant and are invested at the discretion of each participant in certain deemed investment options selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Company. The actual investments purchased are owned by the Company and held in a Rabbi Trust. The accounts of the Rabbi Trust are consolidated and the investments are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company and the Bank may also make matching, mandatory and discretionary contributions for certain participants. A participant is fully vested at all times in the amounts that they elect to defer. Any contributions made by the Company are subject to vesting over a five-year period. The following table provides information on Shore Bancshares, Inc.’s contributions and participant deferrals to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and the related deferred compensation liability at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
