In the event of an executive’s involuntary termination of employment for reasons other than cause, disability or death, or in the event of the executive’s resignation for “good reason,” the executive will receive a severance payment equal to the base salary and bonus(es) that the executive would have earned during the remaining term of the employment agreement. Such payment will be payable in a lump sum within 30 days following the executive’s date of termination. In addition, the executive (other than Mr. Hurd) will be entitled to continued life insurance
and non-taxable medical
and dental insurance coverage, for the remaining unexpired term of the employment agreement, at PyraMax Bank’s expense, substantially comparable to the coverage maintained for the executive and the executive’s dependents prior to the executive’s termination. For purposes of the employment agreements, “good reason” is defined as: (i) the failure to appoint
or re-elect the
executive to his executive position or a material change in executive’s function, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause the executive’s position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope; (ii) a relocation of the executive’s principal place of employment by more than 35 miles from the executive’s principal place of employment as of the initial effective date of the employment agreement; (iii) a material reduction in benefits and perquisites, including base salary (except for any reduction that is part of a good faith, overall reduction of such benefits applicable to all officers or employees of PyraMax Bank); (iv) a liquidation or dissolution of PyraMax Bank; or (v) a material breach of the employment agreement by PyraMax Bank. In order to be entitled to the benefit set forth above, an executive will be required to enter into a release of claims against 1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Inc. and PyraMax Bank.
In the event of executive’s involuntary termination of employment other than for cause, disability or death, or in the event of the executive’s resignation for “good reason,” following the effective date of a change in control of 1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Inc. or PyraMax Bank, the executive will be entitled to (in lieu of the payments and benefits described in the previous paragraph) a severance payment equal to one
and one-half (1.5)
times (three (3) times, for Mr. Hurd and Mr. Ball) the sum of (i) the executive’s highest rate of base salary payable at any time under the agreement, plus (ii) the highest bonus paid to the executive with respect to the prior three completed fiscal years. Such payment will be payable in a lump sum within 10 days following the executive’s date of termination. In addition, the executive (other than Mr. Hurd) would be entitled, at PyraMax Bank’s (or PyraMax Bank’s successor’s) expense, to the continuation of substantially comparable life insurance
and non-taxable medical
and dental insurance coverage for the executive and the executive’s dependents for 18 months (36 months, for Mr. Ball) following the executive’s termination.
Should the executives become disabled, they will be entitled to disability benefits, if any, provided under a long-term (or short-term) disability plan sponsored by PyraMax Bank and will receive
continued non-taxable medical
and dental benefit coverage substantially comparable to that maintained for executive and his dependents prior to becoming disabled until the earlier of (i) the date the executive returns to full-time employment of PyraMax Bank, (ii) the executive is employed full-time by another employer, (iii) 12 months from the date of executive’s termination due to disability. In the event of an executive’s death while employed, the executive’s estate or beneficiary will be paid his base salary for six months following death, and his or her family will continue to
receive non-taxable medical
and dental coverage for 12 months after his death.
Upon any termination of employment (other than a termination in connection with a change in control), the executives will be required to adhere
to one-year non-competition covenant
and will be prohibited from soliciting employees of PyraMax Bank or any affiliate for the purpose of having such person(s) terminate employment with PyraMax Bank or its affiliates and provide services or accept employment with a competing business. The executives also agree that during their employment and following such employment, the executives will maintain and will not disclose the confidential information of PyraMax Bank.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan.
PyraMax Bank has entered into a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferral Plan”) for the benefit of its directors and senior executives. The Plan is a nonqualified plan of deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Only those persons designated by PyraMax Bank are able to participate by entering into a compensation deferral agreement and electing to defer up to 100% of such participant’s regular salary, bonus, commissions or director’s fees,
as applicable. PyraMax Bank, may, but is not obligated to, make discretionary contributions to the Deferral Plan from time to time, which contributions are not required to be uniform among the participants. A participant will be 100% vested in his or her deferrals and earnings thereon, however, any discretionary amounts contributed by PyraMax Bank, are vested based on the participant’s years of service, at the rate of 20% per year, such that a participant will be fully vested after five years of service. A participant will also become fully vested in his or her employer discretionary contributions in the event of the participants death or disability while employed, or in the event of a change in control. The amounts deferred under the terms of the Deferral Plan are deemed to be invested in investment options similar to those available under PyraMax Bank’s 401(k) Savings Plan. In connection with 1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Inc.’s 2019 stock offering and 2021 stock offering, the Deferral Plan was amended to give the
participants a “one-time” election with
respect to each such offering to invest all or a portion of their accounts in the Deferral Plan in common stock of 1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Inc.
