In addition, at its February 1, 2005 meeting, the Compensation Committee approved the following annual salaries for 2005 for the named executive officers:  (i) Stephen P.

Munn – 10,000 options, (ii) Richmond D. McKinnish – 70,000 options and 10,000 restricted Shares, (iii) Carol P. Lowe – 8,000 options and 1,000 restricted Shares, (iv) Kevin G.

The pension plans of the Company and its subsidiaries provide defined benefits including a cash balance formula whereby participants accumulate a cash balance benefit based upon a percentage of compensation allocation made annually to the participants’ cash balance accounts.  The allocation percentage ranges from 2% to 7% and is determined on the basis of each participant’s years of service.  The cash balance account is further credited with interest annually.  The interest credit is based on the One Year Treasury Constant Maturities as published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release over the one year period ending on the December 31st immediately preceding the applicable plan year (with a minimum of 4.00%).  The interest rate for the plan year ending December 31, 2004 was 4.00%.  Compensation covered by the pension plan of the Company and its subsidiaries includes total cash remuneration in the form of salaries and bonuses, including amounts deferred under Sections 401(k) and 125 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

The annual annuity benefit payable starting at normal retirement age (age 65 with five years of service) as accrued through December 31, 2004 under the pension plans of the Company and its subsidiaries for the executives named in the Summary Compensation table were as follows:  Mr. Munn, $400,000; Mr. McKinnish, $435,577; Mrs. Lowe, $3,588; Mr. Forster, $29,133; and Mr. Ford, $21,141.

 

Section 401(a)(17) of the Code currently places a limit of $205,000 on the amount of annual compensation covered under a qualified pension plan such as the one maintained by the Company (the “Retirement Plan”).  Under an unfunded supplemental pension plan maintained by the Company, the Company will make payments as permitted by the Code to plan participants in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the benefits that would have been payable under the Retirement Plan without regard to the limitations imposed by the Code and the actual benefits payable under the Retirement Plan as so limited.

 

Each named executive officer participates in the Company’s executive severance program providing for benefits in the event of a “change of control” (defined generally as an acquisition of twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding voting shares of the Company or a change in the majority of the Company’s Board of Directors).  In the event of a termination of the named executive officer’s employment within three (3) years of a “change in control,” the officer is entitled to three (3) years’ compensation, including bonus, retirement benefits equal to the benefits the officer would have received had the officer completed three additional years of employment, continuation of all life, accident, health, savings and other fringe benefits for three years, and relocation assistance.  A copy of the Company’s form Executive Severance Agreement is on file as an Exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 1990 and is incorporated herein by reference.
