Material Changes and Agreements
On May 23, 2019, Magyar Bank entered into Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (SERPs) with two key executives:
- John Fitzgerald (President and CEO): Entitled to an annual benefit of $160,923 upon normal retirement (age 65).
- Jon Ansari (Executive Vice President and CFO): Entitled to an annual benefit of $78,681 upon normal retirement (age 65).
Payment Terms: Benefits are payable in monthly installments over 15 years, commencing the first day of the second month following the attainment of age 65. Executives are fully vested in their accrued liability balances.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Termination Scenarios:
- Early Termination (Pre-65): If employment ends prior to age 65 (excluding death or separation within two years of a change in control), the executive receives the accrued benefit as a lump sum upon reaching age 65.
- Change in Control: If employment terminates within 24 months following a change in control, the executive receives the present value of the normal retirement benefit as a lump sum immediately following separation.
- Death in Service: No SERP benefit is payable to beneficiaries if the executive dies before age 65, unless an endorsement split-dollar life insurance agreement exists; otherwise, the accrued benefit is paid as a lump sum.
- Termination for Cause: No benefits are payable under the SERP.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Review Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 for the complete legal text of the SERP agreements.
- Verify the total potential liability impact of these deferred compensation plans on the bank's future cash flows.
- Confirm the vesting status and accrued liability balances for Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Ansari as of the filing date.
- Assess the implications of the "Change in Control" provisions on potential future M&A transactions.
