Material Changes
On April 1, 2016, the Company entered into or amended Salary Continuation Agreements for four key executives to provide incentives for long-term employment through March 31, 2026:
- Andrew J. Ryback (President and CEO): Agreement amended to increase the maximum annual benefit from $62,000 to $80,000.

- BJ North (EVP of Retail Banking, Marketing and Commercial Lending): New agreement providing up to $48,000 per year for 10 years.
Benefits are contingent on continuous employment. Termination for reasons other than death or disability prior to the retirement date results in reduced benefits based on length of service.
