12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan, the United Security Bancshares, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax basis, subject to the statutory annual contribution limit. For 2014 and 2013, the Company made “safe harbor” contributions on behalf of participants in the form of a match that was equal to 100% of each participant’s elective deferrals, up to a maximum of 4% of the participant’s eligible compensation. The 401(k) Plan also allows the Company to make discretionary matching contributions on behalf of participants equal to 2% of each participant’s elective deferrals. No discretionary match was made in 2014 or 2013. The Company’s matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan totaled $0.3 million in both 2014 and 2013.

Participants can elect to invest up to 20% incoming contributions (measured at the time of investment) in the 401(k) Plan in the form of Company stock. The 410(k) Plan held 292,989 and 321,814 shares of Company stock as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These shares are allocated to participants in the 401(k) Plan and, accordingly, are included in the earnings per share calculations.
