BENEFIT PLANS
 
 
The Bank has a defined contribution profit sharing plan (“Profit Sharing Plan”) which includes the provision under section
401(k)
of the Internal Revenue Code
(“401(k)”)
and covers all eligible employees. The Bank’s contribution to the plan is determined at management’s discretion at the end of each year and funded. The
401(k)
feature of the plan permits employees to make voluntary salary deferrals, either pre-tax or Roth, up to the dollar limit prescribed by law. FNCB
may
make discretionary matching contributions equal to a uniform percentage of employee salary deferrals. Discretionary matching contributions are determined each year by management and approved by the Board of Directors. There were no discretionary annual contributions made to the profit sharing plan in
2016,
2015
and
2014.
Discretionary matching contributions under the
401(k)
feature of the plan totaled
$168
thousand,
$149
thousand, and
$134
thousand in
2016,
2015
and
2014,
respectively.
