Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
(e) Bank of Marin Bancorp’s wholly owned subsidiary, Bank of Marin (the “Bank”), entered into Salary Continuation Agreements with two additional executive officers providing for certain retirement benefits (the “SERPs”). The two officers that received the SERPs are Tani Girton, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective October 1, 2013 and Elizabeth Reizman, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer, (collectively, the “Executives”) effective August 1, 2014. Upon retiring from the Bank’s employment after reaching age 65, the SERPs provide the Executives an annual retirement benefit as follows:
|
| | | | |
Executive | Annual Payment | Payment Duration |
Tani Girton | $ | 77,000 |
| 11 years |
Elizabeth Reizman | $ | 65,500 |
| 10 years |
The SERPs also provide a lesser annual benefit upon the occurrence of a voluntary termination before reaching age 65 or a disability. The amount of the annual benefit in either scenarios is based on a vesting and accrual schedule unique to each Executive, but in all cases provides an annual benefit less than the normal retirement benefit set forth in the table above. The SERPs also provide for a lump sum benefit in the event of a change in control followed by the termination of the Executive based on an aggregate account value accrual for each Executive. A fixed pre-retirement death benefit to be paid in a lump sum is provided for each Executive. Payments under the SERPs are expected to be funded with bank owned life insurance policies on each of the Executives.
The foregoing summary of the terms of the SERPs is qualified in its entirety by reference to each Executive’s particular SERP, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibits 10.2 (Girton), and 10.3 (Reizman), and incorporated herein by reference.
