Butkus, the Chief Executive Officer of A. J. Smith Federal Savings Bank. The Plan was fully accrued and vested as of December 31, 2002 and the only increases in the Plan assets after December 31, 2002 were earnings on the account. Since no contributions or accruals, other than earnings on the Plan assets, have been credited after December 31, 2004, the Plan is “grandfathered” and is not subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Upon distribution, Mr. Butkus will receive approximately $1.3 million reduced by the applicable federal and state income tax withholding.
