Compensation Plan
WHEREAS, Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”) sponsors the Union Bankshares Corporation Executive’s Deferred Compensation Plan, as restated effective January 1, 2017, and the accompanying Adoption Agreement (collectively, the “Plan”), and the Plan is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan,” as that term is defined under Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Code Section 409A”) and is intended to qualify as an unfunded plan maintained by the Company in part for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees (a “top hat plan”), as described in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”); and
WHEREAS, the Board is authorized to amend the Plan in accordance with paragraph 14.1(a) of the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board has determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company, effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2019, subject to all other applicable provisions of the Plan, that the Plan’s definition of “Eligible Employee” be amended to change the eligibility requirements for participating in the Plan from certain titles to certain compensation levels, provided that certain participants who meet the prior definition will remain eligible; and
WHEREAS, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2019, subject to all other applicable provisions of the Plan, the definition of “Eligible Employee” under the Plan for a Plan Year shall be, as determined on December 1st of the prior Plan Year, an Employee who is an officer of an Employer and either (1) has an annual base salary equal to or greater than the Key Employee Threshold (as defined below) or (2) during the prior 12 months, earned commissions that are equal to or greater than the Key Employee Threshold; and
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Key Employee Threshold shall mean the dollar threshold for the definition of “key employee” under Code Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i) that has been established by the IRS for a calendar year (for the 2019 Plan Year, $180,000), provided, however, that such threshold shall in no event be less than $175,000; and
-26 -
RESOLVED FURTHER, that an Employee who has elected to defer Compensation under the Plan prior to January 1, 2019 and that continues to meet the prior definition of “Eligible Employee” for a Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 2019, shall also be considered an “Eligible Employee” under the Plan (referred to as “grandfathered eligibility”); and
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Board hereby authorizes the appropriate officers of the Company to implement these changes, including amendment of the Adoption Agreement of the Plan.
