Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Note 8. Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

The Company sponsors a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (the "ESOP") that covers all nonunion employees who work 1,000 or more hours per year and are employed on June 30. The Company makes annual contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP's debt service less dividends on unallocated shares received by the ESOP. All dividends on unallocated shares received by the ESOP are used to pay debt service. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. As the debt is repaid, shares are released and allocated to active employees, based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with FASB ASC 718-40. Accordingly, the shares purchased by the ESOP are reported as Unearned ESOP shares in the statement of financial position. As shares are released or committed-to-be-released, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current average market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings-per-share (EPS) computations. ESOP compensation expense was $93,861 and $100,464 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. ESOP compensation expense was $297,670 and $279,502 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The ESOP shares as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

 

   March 31, 2019   March 31, 2018 
Allocated shares   441,753    443,198 
Committed-to-be-released shares   11,250    11,875 
Unreleased shares   17,916    33,125 
           
Total shares held by the ESOP   470,919    488,198 
           
 Fair value of unreleased shares  $443,421   $867,875 

 

The Company may at times be required to repurchase shares at the ESOP participants’ request at the fair market value. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 the Company did not repurchase any shares held by the ESOP. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 the Company repurchased 0 and 4,798 shares previously held in the ESOP for $0 and $109,694.

The ESOP allows for eligible participants to take whole share distributions from the plan on specific dates in accordance with the provision of the plan.  Share distributions from the ESOP during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled 17,279 and 8,103 shares, respectively.
