​ The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is included in salaries and benefits and all other components of net periodic benefit cost are included in other expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Pension Plan and the Defined Benefit SERP. The Pension Plan is a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers our employees who were hired prior to the freeze and others who were grandfathered into the plan. The benefits are based on years of service and the employees’ compensation during the last five years of employment. Effective April 30, 2010, the Pension Plan was amended, resulting in a “soft freeze”, the effect of which prohibits new entrants into the plan and ceases crediting of additional years of service after that date. Effective January 1, 2013, the Pension Plan was amended to unfreeze it for those employees for whom the sum of their (a) ages, at their closest birthday plus (b) years of service for vesting purposes equals 80 or greater. The “soft freeze” continues to apply to all other plan participants. Pension benefits for these participants are managed through discretionary contributions to the First United Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). The Bank established the Defined Benefit SERP in 2001 as an unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan. The Defined Benefit SERP is available only to a select group of management or highly compensated employees to provide supplemental retirement benefits in excess of limits imposed on qualified plans by federal tax law. Concurrent with the establishment of the Defined Benefit SERP, the Bank acquired Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) policies on the senior management personnel and officers of the Bank. The benefits resulting from the favorable tax treatment accorded the earnings on the BOLI policies are intended to provide a source of funds for the future payment of the Defined Benefit SERP benefits as well as other employee benefit costs. The benefit obligation activity for both the Pension Plan and the Defined Benefit SERP was calculated using an actuarial measurement date of January 1. Plan assets and the benefit obligations were calculated using an actuarial measurement date of December 31. The Corporation will assess the need for future annual contributions to the pension plan based upon its funded status and an evaluation of the future benefits to be provided thereunder. No contributions were made to the Pension Plan during the first nine months of 2021 and a contribution of $1.0 million was made during the first nine months of 2020. The Corporation expects to fund the annual projected benefit payments for the Defined Benefit SERP from operations. On January 9, 2015, First United Corporation and members of management who do not participate in the Defined Benefit SERP entered into participation agreements under the Deferred Compensation Plan, each styled as a Defined Contribution SERP Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to each Contribution Agreement, First United Corporation agreed, for each Plan Year (as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan) in which it determines that it has been Profitable (as defined in the Contribution Agreement), to make a discretionary contribution to the participant’s Employer Account in an amount equal to 15% of the participant’s base salary level for such Plan Year, with the first Plan Year being the year ending December 31, 2015. The Contribution Agreement provides that the participant will become 100% vested in the amount maintained in his or her Employer Account upon the earliest to occur of the following events: (a) Normal Retirement (as defined in the Contribution Agreement); (b) Separation from Service (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) following a Change of Control (as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan) and subsequent Triggering Event (as defined in the Contribution Agreement); (c) Separation from Service due to a Disability (as defined in the Contribution Agreement); (d) with respect to a particular award of Employer Contribution Credits, the participant’s completion of 2 consecutive Years of Service (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) immediately following the Plan Year for which such award was made; or (e) death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a participant will lose entitlement to the amount maintained in his or her Employer Account in the event employment is terminated for Cause (as defined in the Contribution Agreement). In addition, the Contribution Agreement conditions entitlement to the amounts held in the Employer Account on the participant (1) refraining from engaging in Competitive Employment (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) for three years following his or her Separation from Service, (2) refraining from injurious disclosure of confidential information concerning the Corporation, and (3) remaining available, at the First United Corporation’s reasonable request, to provide at least six hours of transition services per month for 12 months following his or her Separation from Service (except in the case of death or Disability), except that only item (2) will apply in the event of a Separation from Service following a Change of Control and subsequent Triggering Event. In January 2019, the Board approved discretionary contributions to four participants totaling $123,179. The contributions had a two year vesting period that ended on December 31, 2020. In January 2020, the Board of Directors of First United Corporation approved discretionary contributions to four participants totaling $126,058. The Corporation recorded $47,271 of related compensation expense for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020. The Corporation recorded $15,757 for the third quarters of 2021 and 2020 related to these contributions. In January 2021, the Board of Directors approved discretionary contributions to three participants totaling $101,257. The Corporation recorded $37,971 of related compensation expense for the first nine months of 2021 and $12,657 for the third quarter of 2021 related to these contributions. Each discretionary contribution has a two year vesting period.
