On December 23, 2022, the Bank approved and adopted the Orange Bank & Trust Company Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. The filing does not identify a comparable prior-period plan or quantify any financial impact.
Plan terms, outlook, and risks
- The plan permits selected executives to defer receipt of certain compensation until separation from service, a specified date or age, or death.
- Participation is voluntary and limited to selected management or highly compensated employees at the Compensation Committee’s discretion.
- Named participants include President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Gilfeather, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Robert Peacock, and Regional President Joseph A. Ruhl.
- Deferrals are credited when compensation otherwise would have been paid. Accounts do not receive credited earnings, remain equal to the amounts deferred, and are 100% vested.
- Plan obligations may be paid from the Bank’s general assets. Participants’ rights are no greater than those of unsecured general creditors of the Bank, creating credit risk to participants.
