Note 10: Retirement Plans | 10) Retirement Plans The Company and its subsidiaries have a noncontributory Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for all eligible employees. Eligible employees are primarily those with more than one year of service, who work in excess of 1,000 hours per year. Contributions, which may be in cash or stock of the Company, are determined annually by the Board of Directors. The Company’s contributions are allocated to eligible employees based on the ratio of each eligible employee’s compensation to total compensation for all eligible employees during each year. The Company did not make any contributions for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. At December 31, 2016, the ESOP held 500,450 shares of Class A and 265,623 shares of Class C common stock of the Company. All shares held by the ESOP have been allocated to the participating employees and all shares held by the ESOP are considered outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share. The Company has three 401(k) savings plans covering all eligible employees, as defined above, which includes employer participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plans allow participants to make pretax contributions up to a maximum of $18,000, $18,000 and $17,500 for the years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively or the statutory limits. Beginning January 1, 2008, the Company elected to be a “Safe Harbor” Plan for its matching 401(k) contributions. The Company matched 100% of up to 3% of an employee’s total annual compensation and matched 50% of 4% to 5% of an employee’s annual compensation. The match was in Company stock. The Company’s contribution for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $1,429,962, $1,197,236 and $899,850, respectively under the “Safe Harbor” plan. In 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company will provide deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Board has appointed a Committee of the Company to be the Plan Administrator and to determine the employees who are eligible to participate in the plan. The employees who participate may elect to defer a portion of their compensation into the plan. The Company may contribute into the plan at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company did not make any contributions for 2016, 2015 and 2014. On July 16, 2004, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Scott M. Quist, the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement is effective as of December 4, 2003 and has a five-year term, but the Company has agreed to renew the agreement on December 4, 2008 and 2013 for additional five-year terms, provided Mr. Quist performs his duties with usual and customary care and diligence. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Quist is to devote his full time to the Company serving as its Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer at not less than his current salary and benefits. The Company also agrees to maintain a group term life insurance policy of not less than $1,000,000 on Mr. Quist’s life and a whole life insurance policy in the amount of $500,000 on Mr. Quist’s life. In the event of disability, Mr. Quist’s salary would be continued for up to five years at 75% of its current level. In the event of a sale or merger of the Company and Mr. Quist is not retained in his current position, the Company would be obligated to continue Mr. Quist’s current compensation and benefits for seven years following the merger or sale. The agreement further provides that Mr. Quist is entitled to receive annual retirement benefits beginning (i) one month from the date of his retirement (to commence no sooner than age 65), (ii) five years following complete disability, or (iii) upon termination of his employment without cause. These retirement benefits are to be paid for a period of twenty years in annual installments in the amount equal to 75% of his then current rate of compensation. However, in the event that Mr. Quist dies prior to receiving all retirement benefits there under, the remaining benefits are to be paid to his heirs. The Company expensed $511,443, $999,961 and $833,183 during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, to cover the present value of anticipated retirement benefits under the employment agreement. The liability accrued is $3,776,368 and $3,264,925 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively and is included in “Other liabilities and accrued expenses” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. On December 31, 2015, J. Lynn Beckstead, Jr., who served as Vice President of Mortgage Operations and President of SecurityNational Mortgage, retired from the Company. Under the terms of the employment agreement that the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, SecurityNational Mortgage, had entered into with Mr. Beckstead, Mr. Beckstead is entitled to receive retirement benefits from the Company for a period of ten years in an amount equal to 50% of his current rate of compensation at the time of his retirement, which was $267,685 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Such retirement payments are paid monthly during the ten-year period. In determining Mr. Beckstead’s current rate of compensation, stock option grants and incentive or similar bonuses are not included. In the event Mr. Beckstead dies prior to receiving all of his retirement benefits under his employment agreement, the remaining benefits will be made to his heirs. The Company expensed $148,557, $320,039 and $154,817 during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, to cover the present value of the retirement benefits under the employment agreement. The company paid $133,842 in retirement compensation to Mr. Beckstead during the year ended December 31, 2016. The liability accrued was $1,109,277 and $1,093,720 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively and is included in “Other liabilities and accrued expenses” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
