1 The Value Realized on Exercise is calculated by subtracting the aggregate exercise price for the shares acquired upon exercise of the options from the fair market value price of such shares as of the date of exercise. The fair market value price of each share at exercise is the actual trade price for the share if sold in a cashless exercise transaction, otherwise it is the closing price for the Companys shares as of the date of exercise.
Supplemental Death and Retirement Benefit Plans
The Company maintains Supplemental Death Benefit Plans for certain key employees. Under the Death Benefit Plan agreements, a participating employees designated beneficiary or the employees estate will receive a death benefit equal to the employees then current base salary in the event of death prior to retirement from the Company. No death benefit is payable if retirement benefits become due upon the employees retirement under the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan agreement described below.
The Company also maintains Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plans for certain key employees. Under the Retirement Benefit Plan agreements, participating employees will receive retirement benefits in the event of the participants retirement on or after a designated retirement date. The annual retirement benefit for participating employees will be equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the employees then current base salary, payable in quarterly installments over a period of fifteen years.
All benefits under the plans will be subject to payroll taxes and required withholding for state and federal income taxes as deferred compensation. The benefits are not formally funded but the Company has purchased key man life insurance polices owned by the Company to cover its benefit obligations. The Board of Directors determines which key employees will participate in the plans and the amount of benefits payable for each participant. Non-employee directors do not participate in the plans.
Based upon current 2008 base salaries, the death benefits and annual retirement benefits to be provided under the plans to the Named Executive Officers are set forth in the following table. The retirement benefit will not be payable unless the executive officer retires with the Company on or after reaching the specified retirement age. In such event, the actual amount of the annual benefit will be dependent upon the executives then current annual salary.
