Material Changes
On July 21, 2025, the Board of Home Bank, N.A. entered into new salary continuation agreements with three executive officers: Ms. Natalie B. Lemoine, Mr. Mark C. Herpin, and Mr. John J. Zollinger, IV. These agreements establish specific retirement benefits and change-in-control provisions distinct from standard employment terms.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
- Compensation Structure: The agreements provide a retirement benefit of $125,000 per year, payable in equal monthly installments for 10 years, contingent on the executive remaining employed until age 67.
- Vesting Schedule: Benefits vest based on the most recent appointment date as a senior executive officer, with 10% of benefits vesting annually over ten years.
- Early Retirement: In the event of early retirement, vested benefits are paid in a lump sum on the first day of the month following separation.
- Change in Control: If separation occurs within three months prior to or 12 months following a change in control before age 65, the executive receives the greater of accrued benefits or $300,000, paid in a lump sum.
- Comparison: Terms are substantially identical to existing agreements for other senior executive vice presidents, differing only in retirement age and vesting schedules.
