Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On June 7, 2022, FVCBankcorp, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into supplemental executive retirement plan agreements with each of its executive officers, including David W. Pijor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Patricia A. Ferrick, President of the Company, Jennifer L. Deacon, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and William G. Byers, Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer of the Company. The agreements generally provide that upon the later of separation of service with the Company or attainment of retirement age (age 77 for Mr. Pijor and age 67 for the other named officers), the officers will receive supplemental retirement benefits equal to $150,000 annually for Mr. Pijor, $125,000 annually for Ms. Ferrick, and $65,000 annually for Ms. Deacon and Mr. Byers. The benefits are payable monthly over a 10-year period. Mr. Pijor’s benefit and Ms. Ferrick’s benefit are fully vested. Ms. Deacon’s benefit and Mr. Byers’s benefit will vest annually on a pro-rata basis over a five-year period, provided that the officer remains continuously employed with the Company.
In the event of the voluntary resignation for “good reason” (as defined in each agreement) or involuntary termination without cause of Mr. Pijor or Ms. Ferrick, in each case within 12 months after a “change in control” (as defined in each agreement) of the Company, the accrued benefit (calculated as if the officer remained continuously employed by the Company until normal retirement age) will be paid in a lump sum. In the event of the voluntary resignation for good reason or involuntary termination without cause of Ms. Deacon or Mr. Byers, in each case within 12 months after a change in control of the Company, the officer will be paid the greater of (i) the accrued benefit as of the date of the change in control or (ii) $300,000 in a lump sum for Ms. Deacon and $350,000 in lump sum for Mr. Byers.
In the event of an officer’s voluntary resignation or involuntary termination without “cause” (as defined in each agreement) in each case prior to normal retirement age, the amount payable under the agreement will generally be equal to the amount of the vested accrued benefit as of the date of termination of employment, which amount will be paid in a lump sum. In the event of an officer’s involuntary termination for cause, no benefits will be payable under the agreement.
The Company will invest in bank-owned life insurance as a financing strategy to offset the cost of the nonqualified benefits through a combination of incremental tax-effected earnings and tax-free death benefits to the Company as beneficiary.
The foregoing summary description of the supplemental executive retirement plan agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreements. Copies of the supplemental executive retirement plan agreements with Mr. Pijor, Ms. Ferrick, Ms. Deacon and Mr. Byers are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to this report and are incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
