Benefit Plans Benefit Plans
401(k)
The Company has a retirement savings 401(k) plan, in which substantially all employees may participate. The Company matches employees' contributions at the rate of 50 percent for the first six percent of base salary contributed by participants. The Company’s expense for the plan was $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $65,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
As part of the reorganization and related stock offering, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or ESOP, covering substantially all employees. The ESOP acquired 1,082,130 shares of Company common stock at an average price of $13.59 per share on the open market with funds provided by a loan from the Company. Dividends on unallocated shares used to repay the loan for the Company are recorded as a reduction of the loan or accrued interest, as applicable. Dividends on allocated shares paid to participants are reported as compensation expense. Unearned ESOP shares which have not yet been allocated to ESOP participants are excluded from the computation of average shares outstanding for earnings per share calculation. Accordingly, $9,803,000 and $9,987,000 of common stock acquired by the ESOP was shown as a reduction of stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Shares are released to participants proportionately as the loan is repaid.
ESOP expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $188,000 and $178,000, respectively.
