Any discretionary contribution made by the Company is fully vested after three years of credited service. Employer contributions charged to expense for 2023 and 2022 were $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Also, the Company has Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) Agreements with certain active and retired officers.
