ESOPs:
Empowerment for
Community Banks
Andrea Cusick, CBAI SVP Communications, Springfield, Illinois
E
mployee Stock Ownership
Plans (ESOPs) are utilized in
a myriad of types of businesses,
including community banks.
They’re utilized because they work
– providing a market for the shares
of a departing owner, bringing bank
ownership back to the community
when shares have been left to faraway
descendents, and providing incentive to
employees to excel and to stay.
DID
YOU
KNOW?
A 2000 Rutgers
study found
that ESOP
companies
grow 2.3%
2.4%
TO
annually after
establishing
their ESOPs
8
There are approximately 10,000 ESOPs
in place in the U.S., covering 10.3
million employees (10 percent of the
private sector workforce), according
to the ESOP Association. Moreover, a
2000 Rutgers study found that ESOP
companies grow 2.3 to 2.4 percent
annually after establishing their ESOPs.
In information provided by BKD,
LLP, the reasons banks pursue
ESOPs include a desire to:
• Implement an ownership transition plan;
• Preserve the community-bank
culture, along with jobs and
community support;
• Provide stockholder liquidity over time in a tax-efficient sale;
• Reduce or even eliminate
corporate income tax;
www.cbai.com
+
• R
etain control (regardless of the level of ESOP ownership);
• Reward long-term employees;
• Reward key management; and
• Uniquely position the bank for
growth via acquisitions.
For Anchor State Bank, its move
to a KESOP (an ESOP with a 401k
component), was precipitated by a desire
by bank management to purchase the
bank from its previous owner in 1993.
By doing so, the previous owner escaped
a large capital gains event. According
to Alan Taylor, partner of BKD, llp
in its ESOP Advisory Services Team, a
leveraged ESOP provides a liquidity
event with potential tax advantages.
“First, an ESOP transaction provides the
purchase of stock, which is generally the
tax-preferred method for a seller, versus
selling company assets. In addition,
the law contains a provision that could
potentially allow an owner to sell his or
her stock tax deferred or potentially tax
free,” Taylor asserts.
Depending on individual state tax rates
and if the sale is subject to the 3.8
percent Medicare surtax, this provision
could defer or possibly eliminate taxes
equal to 30 percent or more of the
stockholder’s gain. However, a thorough
and careful analysis needs to be done
to analyze the pros and cons of this tax
opportunity.
For the company, generally it can deduct
not only the interest but also the principal
associated with the ESOP’s purchase of
stock. If the company is an S corporation,
then the ESOP’s share of income is taxfree. If the company is an S corporation
and 100-percent ESOP owned, then 100
percent of the company’s earnings are free
of federal and, generally, state income
tax. These tax savings generally allow the
company to repay the acquisition loan
more quickly and potentially increase
growth opportunities for the company in
the long-term.
The process to establish the program
took about a year, according to
Jim Eckert, president of Anchor
State Bank. Taylor stated that, in
his experience, six months to a year
is typical. Eckert recalled that the
changeover could have been done more
quickly had regulatory agreement for
the change of control been made in a
more timely fashion. Taylor concurs that
the regulatory environment makes the
approval process more challenging for
banks than other business models.
Banknotes
First National Bank, Sparta, changed
its profit-sharing plan to an ESOP with
profit sharing approximately 20 years
ago, according to David Hauskins, bank
president. “The ESOP has been useful
in solidifying the value of the stock,”
Hauskins stated. It also has made
possible some fairly substantial payouts
for retiring employees, he added.
Hauskins cautions that the endeavor
to move to an ESOP is not inexpensive,
citing the administrative fees and the
need for an appraisal every year.
Mike Estes, president of The Fisher
National Bank, has expressed an
interest in forming an ESOP to solve
two issues currently facing the bank.
First, descendents of original bankstock owners no longer reside in the
area, and Estes feels that the future
of the bank is better served by having
fewer, more local-centric shareholders.
Hauskins found that to be true, as well,
stating that the bank’s ESOP allowed
the bank to eliminate some small,
far-flung stockholders with no vested
interest in the bank.
The second reason Estes has considered
an ESOP is to attract and retain younger,
talented employees. “We recently hired
some employees who, while younger,
are experienced bankers. They both
came to us from mega-banks and were
disenchanted with that culture. We’d
like to incentivize them, and other
employees, to stay. It’s important to
show these employees that community
banking can be a lifelong career, not a
way station to somewhere else.”
There are many options in structuring
this type of retirement plan, depending
upon the bank’s goals. For example, First
National Bank in Pinckneyville
has a KSOP with a five-percent 401k
match. Dave Pirsein, bank president,
indicated that the vehicle has been used
largely to incent employees.
Taylor stresses that it takes time to build
momentum and to build the ESOP
account. He cautions banks to make sure
Banknotes
that it will provide a real incentive to the
employees. “Make it meaningful. The level
of the ESOP ownership will only then
effectuate the behavior of the employees,”
he states. However, he acknowledges
that there is “no magic number” for that
percentage to be effective.
John Corley, chairman of First State
Bank, Monticello, has instilled the
pride of being an independent community
bank in its management and employees,
according to the bank’s president, Mike
Atwood. The challenge is how to
remain independent in an environment
of consolidation. Atwood cites the low
returns in banking today, the problem that
arises when shareholders want liquidity
for their stock and the bank can’t provide
it, and attracting young, committed
talent to a town with a population of
6,000. A 100% ESOP was proposed
approximately five years ago and two
years later, implementation began (the
bank already had a partial plan in place).
The bank is an S-corporation and may
be the only Illinois community bank
with a 100% ESOP, which caused the
establishment and regulatory approval
for the plan to take longer than may be
typical for a partial plan.
Atwood asserts that the ESOP has had
an impact beyond the bank’s walls. “We
have a story and we’re going to tell it,”
he says emphatically. The community
has had a very positive reaction to the
word that the bank established an ESOP
to not only take care of its employees,
but to remain independent. As the only
hometown-chartered community bank
in Monticello, Atwood emphasizes
that the signal of the bank’s ownership
intent has been sent and understood by
the citizenry, resulting in significantly
positive public relations.
As someone who puts together ESOPs
and KESOPs for a living, Taylor
acknowledges they aren’t for every
bank. He stresses that you partner with
advisors who not only understand setting
up the plans, but have knowledge of
community banking, as well.
Tim Sullivan, partner at Hinshaw &
Culbertson LLP, concurs, pointing
out that the major difference between
setting up an ESOP for a bank versus
any other type of business is the
regulatory approval process, including
the change-of-control approval which
may be needed. Sullivan further states
that financing can often be a stumbling
block, especially with bank boards
as the larger purchases frequently
require financing over 10 to 15 years
meaning the initial loan may need to be
renewed which introduces an element
of uncertainty – something some bank
board members may find unsettling.
Friday, September 27
2:45 p.m. – 4 p.m.
“A session on forming an
ESOP for community banks
will be offered at the CBAI
Convention & Exposition.
It will be presented by a
panel from Hinshaw &
Culbertson, LLP, Chicago”
Final words of advice
from Taylor include:
• First, be clear about why you’re
creating an ESOP and what you
hope to accomplish;
• Who are you hoping to motivate?
If it’s just the management team
there may be other options;
• Make sure that your intent is
consistent with the bank’s strategic plan;
• Model out what the plan will look
like in 10 years, then 20 years; and
• Is your goal to get to 100%
ownership? If so, how long do you
anticipate it will take? n

Stress Testing
Non-Maturity Deposits
Jeffrey F. Caughron, Associate Partner, The Baker Group LP
A Focus on Non-Maturity Deposits
A notable trend in bank balance sheets over the past few years
has been the steady growth of non-maturity deposits, or NMD.
Much of this growth has been a result of greater risk-aversion on
the part of depositors who now view liquidity and protection of
principal as key considerations. The increased FDIC insurance
threshold of $250K has likely played a part in this trend as well.
In any case, the growth of these deposits raises questions about
interest rate risk in the balance sheet in the event of a change in
economic conditions or the rate environment.
Historically, NMD balances are extremely stable and the rates
paid on those deposits change infrequently. In other words,
they are normally not very rate sensitive. However, from a riskmanagement standpoint, we cannot assume that past behavior
will necessarily hold true in the future. The regulatory agencies
12
www.cbai.com
+
are concerned that the “surge balances” of non-maturity deposits
that flowed into bank balance sheets in recent years may leave
the bank at least as quickly, or that banks may find themselves
having to compete more aggressively from a pricing standpoint
in order to keep these balances in the bank. This concern points
to the need for stress testing of non-maturity deposits.
Developing NMD Assumptions
The Interest Rate Risk Monitor (IRRM) is designed to capture
fluctuations in non-maturity deposit balances and changes in
pricing that occur in different interest rate environments. This
requires a set of assumptions about how stable the balances are
and how reactive the pricing will be. In developing a reasonable
set of assumptions, we first do a two-part analysis of the actual
observed behavior of each bank’s NMD. This consists of a
“balance-stability” analysis and a “reactive-pricing” analysis.
Banknotes
The balance-stability analysis tells us how much fluctuation
has occurred in the bank’s NMD balances over an interest
rate cycle. Those banks with a high degree of fluctuation or
volatility in their balances, as compared with their peer group,
will be modeled with a shorter average life (and lower duration)
than the average bank in order to reflect greater rate sensitivity.
Conversely, a bank whose deposit balances have remained
extremely stable will normally be modeled to reflect longer
average lives and higher durations. The stability analysis is
critical in order to have confidence in the assumptions that
drive the Economic Value of Equity (capital at risk) component
of interest rate risk modeling.
The reactive-pricing analysis looks at a different dynamic. It
tells us how closely correlated the pricing of NMD has been
in relation to changes in market interest rates such as the fed
funds rate or the six month T-Bill rate. We can look at the
actual observed history of the bank’s NMD pricing to determine
how sensitive the bank’s pricing has been, including time lags
between a given move in market rates and the reactive pricing
on the part of bank management. This analysis is necessary to
derive reasonable shift sensitivities (betas) and time lags to be
used in the model.
exercise should be done once a year, the results evaluated and
documented, and the reports made available to examiners
when they come to call.
Although we may not anticipate rising rates in the near future,
prudent risk management requires that we have on file a study
of how our earnings might be affected by a sudden rampingup of rate sensitivity on core deposits and the necessity of
aggressive pricing. This is an important risk management
exercise for community banks, and one that becomes even
more necessary as we gradually move toward an eventual
change in the rate environment. n

Stress-Testing NMD Assumptions
The analysis of NMD balance and pricing behavior described
above is based on institution-specific historical data and gives
us a good base-case assumptions set. But what if future behavior
is different? What if depositors don’t act as they have in past
cycles? It’s entirely possible that the next rising rate cycle will
result in much more rate sensitive deposits than our base case
assumptions imply. This is why a stress test is necessary.
We conduct a stress test on non-maturity deposits by
aggressively ratcheting up the shift sensitivities (betas) and
simultaneously collapsing the time lags in order to mimic
a situation where the bank must aggressively compete on
price in order to keep the deposits in the bank. For example,
consider a modeling assumption where a 100bps rise in the fed
funds rate will result in a 35bps increase in money market rates
after a three-month time lag. Perhaps that’s the most likely
behavior based on past history, and therefore these should
be our base-case modeling assumptions. However, we need
to also model potential behavior in an unusual environment
where rate sensitivity is much greater for these money market
balances. We would therefore crank the beta up to 75% rather
than 35%. At the same time, we would re-set the time lag to
one month rather than three months. If we re-run the model
using these more aggressive assumptions, the unsurprising
result is that interest expense rises much faster and by a greater
degree. It may not be pretty, but a NMD stress test provides
important information about a worst case scenario, a scramble
for liquidity, and a bidding war for non-maturity deposits. This

Taking the
Pain Out of
Core Conversions
David Hyberger, Vice President of Conversions, Computer Services, Inc. (CSI)
W
hy do bankers fear core conversions? One
factor is the fear of change itself – has the
bank made the right decision in investing
heavily in a technology platform that will
be the backbone of all bank operations?
Another factor is the volume of work that goes into a coreconversion project. Ensuring that every transaction, customer, and
report makes the transition from one data processor to another
can be tricky, especially if changing the format of the database.
And the final factor many bankers argue makes core conversions
painful is the people side – getting staff trained on a new system
and comfortable with using it to its maximum capabilities.
The good news? While a core conversion will always be a largescale project, there are distinct steps banks can take to ensure
the conversion is as smooth as possible. From preparing the
data to preparing the staff, a little bit of planning in advance
goes a long way toward ensuring a successful transition.
Prepare the Process
Any successful conversion begins with a clear process detailing
how the bank will manage the project. Banks and processors
must ask a great deal of questions up front and prepare a clear
blueprint of the conversion. Keep in mind that it is imperative
Banknotes
for the bank’s management, at all levels, to participate in the
planning and completion of all tasks on the project plan.
Remember, too, that banks must plan out the conversion on
paper before tackling the work itself. Set a schedule and stick
to it, because the schedule drives cost, and sticking to it also
improves decision-making. In the words of author Steven Covey,
beginning with “the end in mind” keeps the bank focused on
the goals and end results, and helps guide the steps in between.
In terms of whether to perform the conversion piecemeal or
in its entirety, it’s generally best practice to take an all-at-once
approach. This helps ensure the overall integrity of the bank’s
everyday operations. The strongest core providers will convert
everything as close to the way a bank is currently processed
as possible, minimizing new products and services at the
beginning of the conversion window and adding new options
later after the dust has settled.
Prepare the Tech
Preparing the technology itself begins with the most critical
step of all: ensuring the data is ready for the migration from one
system to the next. Getting basic customer account information
correct is critical to a successful conversion. Take the time to
scrub data in the original system as much as possible, so that the
new system receives the most accurate information as possible.

Also be aware of how reporting is completed in the new system
compared to the old. Compare reports and tests from both
systems to ensure that the new core platform can produce the
items and formats necessary to evaluate the bank’s data.
Training should be more than a one-time orientation program.
Ongoing webinars, eLearning classes, in-person training,
phone support, and “conversion schools” all can help bank
staff prepare for and better utilize the new system.
Staff also must be prepared to quickly fix problems in the
new system. In even the most seamless conversions, there
are small issues that will pop up – a data field that doesn’t
migrate correctly or an auxiliary integration that hangs up. By
constantly testing and remaining primed to troubleshoot any
issues that arise, banks are mentally prepared for the small
hiccups that will inevitably occur.
Banks also should communicate with customers any potential
impact. If systems will be offline or unavailable for some reason,
communicate that clearly and well beforehand to ensure that
customers understand the changes that are coming.
Prepare the People
While preparing the process and preparing the tech are
critical, nothing is more important than preparing the people.
Training and communication are vital to the successful
conversion. Have end users practice using the new system
before official rollout. End-user training on the new core
system also is important to user adoption and the ultimate
success of the project.

While a core conversion will always be a major undertaking,
spending the time to properly prepare the process, the tech
and the people will set a bank up for success. n
During his more than 30-year career with CSI, Hyberger has been
involved with numerous aspects of core conversion projects, including
strategic planning, education services and onsite implementations.
He currently oversees the implementation of new banks onto CSI’s
NuPoint core-bank processing system.

LEGAL LINK
Obtaining
Mortgage Releases
Jerry Cavanaugh, CBAI General Counsel, Springfield, IL
H
as your community bank ever had a customer who
complained that (s)he was having great difficulty
getting a prior mortgage released by Big Box
Mortgage Bank? I occasionally get inquiries about
whether Illinois has a law addressing any obligation for release
of mortgages that are fully paid off, and whether there is any
timeline for meeting such an obligation.
DID
YOU
KNOW?
Section 2 of
the Mortgage
Act goes on to
specify precise
language in
bold font
of at least
¼-inch height
explaining that
the release is
issued for the
protection of
the mortgagor/
owner and is
to be filed with
the County
Recorder in
whose office
the mortgage
or deed of trust
was filed
28
The answers are “Yes,” and “Yes.” Section 2 of Illinois’ Mortgage
Act mandates that every mortgagee that has received full
payment in satisfaction of the mortgage debt owed “shall, at the
request of the mortgagor” or the request of the mortgagor’s heirs
or legal representative, make and deliver a written instrument
releasing the mortgage and the written mortgage release shall
be suitable for recordation with the county Recorder of Deeds.
In fact, Section 2 of the Mortgage Act goes on to specify precise
language in bold font of at least ¼-inch height explaining that
the release is issued for the protection of the mortgagor/owner
and is to be filed with the County Recorder in whose office the
mortgage or deed of trust was filed.
With regard to the time frame or deadline for a fully paid off
mortgagee to issue a written release upon request of the
mortgagor (i.e., how long Big Box Mortgage Bank can drag its
feet before issuing the written release), that answer is found in
Section 4 of the Mortgage Act, which specifies that a fully paid
mortgagee must “within one month” comply with the mortgage
release requirements in Section 2. Thus, once the mortgage
is fully paid off and the mortgagor has made a request for
issuance of a mortgage release (the statute does not require that
the mortgagor’s request be in writing, but a written or e-mail
transmission of the request that could serve to memorialize the
date of the request would be advisable), the law obligates Big
Box Mortgage Bank to issue a written release within one month.
www.cbai.com
+
And what happens if Big Box Mortgage Bank violates its
requirement to issue a written release within one month?
Section 4 of the Act states that an aggrieved mortgagor can go to
civil court to recover a penalty of $200 (plus attorney’s fees) from
Big Box Mortgage Bank. Once you stop laughing at the prospect
of a mortgage operation that makes billions in earnings per
calendar quarter being intimidated into compliance by a threat
of a token monetary penalty, consider a couple of other avenues.
First, many of the Big Box Mortgage banks, or their subsidiaries,
are the very same entities that are constantly battling the U.S.
Justice Department, State Attorneys General, and/or supervisory
bank regulatory agencies over mortgage-fraud schemes, often
resulting in settlements or huge fines. If Big Box Mortgage Bank
chooses to disregard the mandates and consumer protections
of existing law (i.e., the Mortgage Act) the aggrieved mortgagor
might want to contact Big Box Mortgage Bank’s prudential bank
regulator, or the Attorney General’s office or the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau to solicit governmental leverage or
assistance. After all, one Big Box Mortgage Bank runs television
commercials with the tag line “sometimes you need an Ally.”
A second option would be to consult with your bank’s attorney
about the possible applicability of another Illinois statute,
the “Mortgage Certificate of Release Act” [765 ILCS 935/1].
That Act allows, within the conditions stated therein, for the
creation of a valid and effective mortgage release document
by a title insurance company or title insurance agent who
can document the loan payoff of a pre-existing mortgage. If
you would like to receive copies of any of these statutes (I’m
hopeful that your attorney already has access to them), please
feel free to contact me at CBAI. n
