The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

 

As to the election of directors, the proxy card being provided by the Board of Directors enables a stockholder to vote FOR each nominee proposed by the Board, or to WITHHOLD authority for each nominee. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, without regard to either broker non-votes, or proxies as to which the authority to vote for the nominees being proposed is withheld.

 

As to the ratification of Bonadio & Co., LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2017, by checking the appropriate box, a stockholder may: (i) vote FOR the ratification; (ii) vote AGAINST the ratification; or (iii) ABSTAIN from voting on such ratification.

The following table sets forth, as of April 4, 2017, the shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person who was known to us as the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock.

Participants in the Fairport Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) will each receive a Vote Instruction Form that reflects all of the shares that the participant may direct the trustees to vote on his or her behalf under the plan. Under the terms of the ESOP, the ESOP trustee votes all shares held by the ESOP, but each ESOP participant may direct the trustee how to vote the shares of FSB Bancorp, Inc. common stock allocated to his or her account. The ESOP trustee will vote all unallocated shares of FSB Bancorp, Inc. common stock held by the ESOP and allocated shares for which no voting instructions are received in the same proportion as shares for which it has received timely voting instructions. In addition, participants in the Fairport Savings Bank 401(k) Savings Plan (“401(k) Plan”) who have assets invested in FSB Bancorp, Inc. common stock will receive a Vote Instruction Form that allows them to direct the 401(k) Plan trustee to vote their shares held by the 401(k) Plan. If a participant does not direct the 401(k) Plan trustee as to how to vote his or her shares in the 401(k) Plan, the trustee will vote such interest in the same proportion as it has received voting instructions from other 401(k) Plan participants. The deadline for returning your ESOP Vote Instruction Form and/or 401(k) Vote Instruction Form is Wednesday, May 17, 2017.

 

PROPOSAL I — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

Directors are divided into three classes, with one class of directors elected annually. Our directors are generally elected to serve for a three-year period and until their respective successors shall have been elected and shall qualify. The Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors has nominated Stephen J. Meyer and Alicia H. Pender to each serve for a three-year term to expire in 2020. Each nominee has agreed to serve as a director if elected.

 

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” each of the nominees listed in this Proxy Statement.

 

The table below sets forth certain information, as of April 4, 2017, regarding the nominees, the other current members of our Board of Directors, and executive officers who are not directors, including the terms of office of board members. It is intended that the proxies solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors (other than proxies in which the vote is withheld as to any nominee) will be voted at the Annual Meeting for the election of the proposed nominees. If a nominee is unable to serve, the shares represented by all such proxies will be voted for the election of such substitute as the Board of Directors may determine. At this time, the Board of Directors knows of no reason why any of the nominees might be unable to serve, if elected. Except as indicated herein, there are no arrangements or understandings between any of the nominees or continuing directors and any other person pursuant to which such nominees or continuing directors were selected. No shares of common stock have been pledged as security for a loan.

Shared Management Structure

 

The directors of FSB Bancorp, Inc. are those same persons who are the directors of Fairport Savings Bank. In addition, each executive officer of FSB Bancorp, Inc. is also an executive officer of Fairport Savings Bank. We expect that FSB Bancorp, Inc. and Fairport Savings Bank will continue to have common executive officers until there is a business reason to establish separate management structures. To date, directors and executive officers have been compensated for their services only to Fairport Savings Bank. In the future, directors and executive officers could receive additional compensation for their services to FSB Bancorp, Inc.

Board Leadership Structure

 

At FSB Bancorp, Inc. the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer have always been held by different individuals. The Chairman of the Board provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer, is active in setting the agenda for Board meetings, and presides over meetings of the full Board. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting the strategic direction for the Company and the day to day leadership and performance of the Company. Pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules, the Audit Committee, Compensation/Benefits/Marketing Committee and Nominating Committee are comprised of and chaired solely by independent directors.

 

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

The Board’s role in the Company’s risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, strategic and reputational risks. The full Board (or the appropriate committee in the case of risks that are reviewed and discussed at committee meetings) receives these reports from the appropriate “risk owner” within the organization to enable the Board or appropriate committee to understand our risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies. When a committee receives the report, the Chairman of the relevant committee reports on the discussion to the full Board at the next Board meeting. This enables the Board and its committees to coordinate the risk oversight role, particularly with respect to risk interrelationships.

Code of Ethics

 

FSB Bancorp, Inc. has adopted a Code of Ethics that is applicable to the Board of Directors and Fairport Savings Bank’s senior executive officers, including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and all officers performing similar functions. There were no amendments made to or waivers from our Code of Ethics in 2016. The Code of Ethics is posted on our website at www.fairportsavingsbank.com.

 

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

 

The business of FSB Bancorp, Inc. is conducted at regular and special meetings of the Board and its committees. In addition, the “independent” members of the Board of Directors (as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market) meet in executive sessions. The standing committees of the Board of Directors of FSB Bancorp, Inc. are the Audit Committee, Compensation/Benefits/Marketing Committee; Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee (“Nominating”); and the Asset Liability (“ALCO”) Committee.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Board of Directors had 12 regular meetings and four special meetings. No member of the Board or any committee thereof attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of: (i) the total number of meetings of the board of directors (held during the period for which he or she was a director); and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he or she served (during the periods that he or she served).

 

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is comprised of Directors Pender (who serves as Chairman), Smith, Sturn, and Weldgen. The Board of Directors has determined that Director Alicia Pender qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.” Information with respect to the experience of Ms. Pender is included in “Directors and Executive Officers.” Each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” in accordance with SEC and Nasdaq standards.

 

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which is posted on our website at www.fairportsavingsbank.com. As more fully described in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for providing oversight relating to our consolidated financial statements and financial reporting process, systems of internal accounting and financial controls, outsourced internal audit services, annual independent audit and the compliance and ethics programs established by management and the Board. The Audit Committee met four times during the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee consists of Directors Warshof (who serves as Chairman), DePerrior, Lindsay, and Meyer each of whom is independent in accordance with Nasdaq standards. The Nominating Committee met three times during the year ended December 31, 2016. Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Nominating Committee, which is posted on our website at www.fairportsavingsbank.com.

 

The Nominating Committee identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board of Directors willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to FSB Bancorp, Inc.’s business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of the Board with that of obtaining a new perspective. If there were a vacancy on the Board because any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service or if the Nominating Committee decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Nominating Committee would determine the desired skills and experience of a new nominee, solicit suggestions for director candidates from all Board members and may engage in other search activities. Candidates should possess certain attributes, including integrity and a devotion to ethical behavior, a primary interest in the well-being of FSB Bancorp, Inc., a capacity for independent judgment, good business acumen, the capacity to protect confidential information, an ability to work as a member of a team and a willingness to evaluate other points of view.

 

In addition to examining a candidate’s qualifications in light of the above attributes, the Nominating Committee would consider the following: the overall character of the candidate and any existing or potential conflict of interest; the candidate’s willingness to serve and ability to devote the time and effort required; the candidate’s record of leadership; the director qualification requirements in Article II, Section 12 of our Bylaws and the ability to develop business for FSB Bancorp, Inc. In addition, our Bylaws provide that no individual may be nominated to the Board of Directors if the person has attained the age of 75 years.

We do not maintain a specific diversity policy, but diversity is considered in our review of candidates. Diversity includes not only gender and ethnicity, but the various perspectives that come from having differing viewpoints, geographic and cultural backgrounds, and life experiences.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we did not pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees for director.

Compensation/Benefits/Marketing Committee

 

The Compensation/Benefits/Marketing Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of FSB Bancorp, Inc. is responsible for developing compensation guidelines and for recommending the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other senior executive officers. The Compensation Committee consists of Directors Patric (who serves as Chairman), DePerrior, O’Neil, and Meyer. Each of the members is independent as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Compensation Committee met seven times.

 

The role of the Compensation Committee is to review annually the compensation levels of the executive officers and directors and recommend compensation changes to the Board of Directors. It is intended that the executive compensation program will enable us to attract, develop and retain talented executive officers who are capable of maximizing our performance for the benefit of the stockholders. We seek to maintain compensation levels that are competitive with other financial institutions, and particularly those in our peer group based on asset size and market area.

 

The Compensation Committee considers a number of factors in its decisions regarding executive compensation, including, but not limited to, the level of responsibility and performance of the individual executive officers, the overall performance of FSB Bancorp, Inc. and compensation paid to executives at peer group financial institutions. The Compensation Committee also considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the compensation of executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee and the Chief Executive Officer review the same information in connection with this recommendation.

 

The base salary levels for our executive officers are set to reflect the duties and levels of responsibilities inherent in the position and to reflect competitive conditions in the banking business in our market area. Comparative salaries paid by other financial institutions are considered in establishing the salary for the given

executive officer. The Compensation Committee has utilized bank compensation surveys compiled by the American Bankers Association and other sources. In setting the base salaries, the Compensation Committee also considers a number of factors relating to the executive officers, including individual performance, job responsibilities, experience level, ability and the knowledge of the position. These factors are considered subjectively and none of the factors are accorded a specific weight.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Compensation Committee engaged Arthur Warren Associates to provide assistance in reviewing FSB Bancorp, Inc.’s and Fairport Savings Bank’s overall compensation program. The Compensation Committee considered the independence of Arthur Warren Associates in light of Securities and Exchange Commission rules and Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards and concluded that that the work performed by Arthur Warren Associates and its consultants involved in the engagement did not raise any conflict of interest and concluded that they were independent consultants to the Compensation Committee.

 

Commercial Loan Committee

 

Commercial Loan Committee meetings occur based on commercial loan policy requirements and require the presence of three external Board members. During the year ended December 31, 2016, nine commercial loan committee meetings were necessary.

 

Communications with the Board of Directors

 

Any stockholder who wishes to contact our Board of Directors or an individual director may do so by writing to: Board of Directors, FSB Bancorp, Inc., 45 South Main Street, Fairport, New York 14450, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Communications are reviewed by the Corporate Secretary and are then distributed to the Board of Directors or the individual director, as appropriate, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communications received. The Corporate Secretary may attempt to handle an inquiry directly or forward a communication for response by another employee of FSB Bancorp, Inc., and the Corporate Secretary has the authority not to forward a communication if it is primarily commercial in nature, relates to an improper or irrelevant topic, or is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or otherwise inappropriate.

 

Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

 

We do not have a policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders, although directors are requested to attend these meetings absent unavoidable conflicts. All of our directors except one attended our 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Benefit Plans

 

Employment Agreement with Dana C. GavendaFairport Savings Bank entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Gavenda, effective as of March 1, 2009. The agreement had an initial term of three years. After the initial three-year term under the agreement, the agreement renews for one year, unless Mr. Gavenda receives timely notification of the Board’s intention not to renew the agreement, in which case the agreement will cease one year following such anniversary date. 

 

The employment agreement provides base salary to Mr. Gavenda for his services, which beginning on March 1, 2016 was $212,000 and was increased to $225,000 on March 1, 2017. The base salary may be increased, but not decreased. In addition to the base salary, the agreement provides for, among other things, participation in bonus programs and other employee pension benefit and fringe benefit plans applicable to executive employees, and use of an automobile and reimbursement of expenses associated with the use of such automobile and other reasonable business expenses incurred. 

 

In the event of Mr. Gavenda’s involuntary termination of employment for reasons other than cause, disability or death, or in the event of his resignation for “good reason,” he will receive a severance payment equal to one times the sum of : (1) his highest annual rate of base salary paid to him at anytime under the employment agreement; and (2) the cash bonus paid to him with respect to the fiscal year immediately prior to his date of termination. Such payment will be payable in a lump sum within 30 days following Mr. Gavenda’s date of termination. Additionally, Mr. Gavenda would be entitled to the continuation, at Fairport Savings Bank’s expense, of life insurance coverage and non-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage for 12 months. For purposes of the employment agreement, “good reason” is defined as: (1) the failure to elect or reelect or to appoint or reappoint Mr. Gavenda to his executive position, (2) a material change in Mr. Gavenda’s functions, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause Mr. Gavenda’s position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance or scope, (3) a relocation of Mr. Gavenda’s principal place of employment by more than 30 miles from its location at the effective date of the employment agreement or (4) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites from those being provided to Mr. Gavenda as of the effective date of the employment agreement, including base salary (except for any Fairport Savings Bank-wide or officer-wide reduction) or (5) a material breach of the employment agreement by Fairport Savings Bank.

 

In the event of a termination for any reason following a change in control of Fairport Savings Bank or FSB Bancorp, Mr. Gavenda (or, in the event of his death, his beneficiary) would be entitled to a severance payment equal to three times the sum of: (1) Mr. Gavenda’s highest base salary during the term of the employment agreement, and (2) the greater of (A) the average annual cash bonus paid to Mr. Gavenda under the agreement during the last three years prior to the termination date or (B) the cash bonus paid to Mr. Gavenda for the most recent fiscal year prior to the termination. Such severance will be paid as a lump sum within 30 days following Mr. Gavenda’s date of termination. However, if the change in control occurs after Mr. Gavenda has attained age 62 or after implementation

 

 10 

 

 

of a Board-approved stock-based benefit plan, the amount that Mr. Gavenda will receive is equal to the sum of:(1) the highest annual rate of base salary paid at any time under the agreement, and (2) the greater of (A) the average annual cash bonus paid with respect to the one year prior to the termination or (B) the cash bonus paid with respect to the fiscal year ended prior to the termination. Moreover, Mr. Gavenda would be entitled to the continuation, at Fairport Savings Bank’s expense, of life, health and disability insurance coverage for 12 months.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Fairport Savings Bank is not in compliance with its regulatory capital requirements or if the payments would cause Fairport Savings Bank’s capital to be reduced below its regulatory capital requirements, any severance payable under the agreement shall be deferred until such time as Fairport Savings Bank is in capital compliance. Additionally, the payments required under the agreement will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid penalties under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

If Mr. Gavenda becomes disabled during the term of the agreement, he would receive proceeds from a supplemental senior executive disability insurance policy, where Fairport Savings Bank pays the premiums for such insurance policy, and Fairport Savings Bank would continue to provide life and health care coverage for Mr. Gavenda through the period of the disability insurance coverage. In the event Mr. Gavenda dies while employed by Fairport Savings Bank, his estate will be paid Mr. Gavenda’s base salary for one year and his spouse will be entitled to continuation of medical, dental and other insurance benefits for one year after his death.

 

Upon termination of Mr. Gavenda’s employment, Mr. Gavenda agrees for a period of two years following termination of employment not to serve as an officer, director or consultant with any financial institution operating in Monroe County, New York with assets of less than $1.0 billion, but such period is reduced to one year if Mr. Gavenda’s termination of employment is following a change in control.

 

Change in Control Agreement with Kevin D. Maroney. On March 28, 2012, Fairport Savings Bank entered into a change in control agreement with Mr. Maroney. The agreement provides that if Mr. Maroney either: (1) is terminated by Fairport Savings Bank (or any successor) for any reason other than for cause; or (2) voluntarily resigns for “good reason” within 24 months following a change in control of Fairport Savings Bank or FSB Bancorp, Mr. Maroney will be entitled to a payment equal to two times the sum of the Executive’s highest annual base salary at any time under the agreement and the greater of: (1) the average annual cash bonus paid to the Executive over the prior three fiscal years; or (2) the cash bonus paid to the Executive for the fiscal year which ended prior to the termination. However, in no event will Mr. Maroney’s total severance compensation from all sources equal or exceed three times his average annual compensation over the five fiscal years preceding the fiscal year in which his date of termination occurs. Such payment will be payable for 12 months following Mr. Maroney’s date of termination in accordance with the normal payroll practices of Fairport Savings Bank. In the event of death, the benefit will be paid to Mr. Maroney’s surviving spouse or, if no surviving spouse, to his estate. In addition, Mr. Maroney would be entitled, at no expense, to the continuation of substantially to life, health and disability insurance coverage for 12 months following his date of termination.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payments required under the agreement will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid penalties under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.  In addition, Mr. Maroney is restricted from serving as an officer, director or consultant with any financial institution operating in Monroe County, New York with assets of less than $1.0 billion for one year following his date of termination.

 

Annual Incentive Plan. On January 1, 2012, FSB Community adopted the Annual Incentive Plan to align the interests of eligible employees with the overall performance of FSB Community and Fairport Savings Bank. FSB Bancorp assumed administration of the Annual Incentive Plan following the completion of the second-step conversion.

 

Employees selected by the Compensation Committee, which includes the Named Executive Officers, are eligible to participate in the plan. For each plan year (which is the calendar year), each participant will be granted an annual bonus award opportunity, designated as a percentage of base salary, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance objectives specified by the compensation committee for each participant. The specific performance objectives are determined annually by the Compensation Committee, and generally include objective performance targets on financial performance, growth, asset quality and risk management and subjective performance objectives, such as particular qualitative factors for the participant, based on his or her duties for Fairport Savings Bank. Each performance objective will specify level of achievements at “threshold,” “target” and “maximum” levels and will be weighted by priority as a percentage of the total annual bonus award payable to the participant. The annual bonus

 

 11 

 

 

award earned is payable to each participant in a cash lump sum within 2.5 months following the end of each plan year, to the extent the performance objectives are determined to be satisfied by the Compensation Committee. Payment of an award is also contingent on the participant’s individual performance meeting expectations, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

 

For 2016, the Compensation Committee established the following range of annual cash incentive opportunities for threshold, target and maximum achievement (as a percentage of base salary):

 

Executive Officer  Threshold   Target   Maximum 
Dana C. Gavenda   25%   30%   35%
Kevin D. Maroney   15%   20%   25%
Kathleen M. Dold   6%   8%   10%

 

Based on both the satisfaction of company and individual performance goals, Messrs. Gavenda and Maroney and Ms. Dold earned a bonus with respect to the 2016 performance period equal to $64,229, $34,098 and $8,370 respectively.

 

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans. Effective May 1, 2006, Fairport Savings Bank established a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for Mr. Gavenda, which is a non-qualified defined contribution plan. Under the terms of the SERP, on May 1, 2006 and on each anniversary date thereafter through the earlier of May 1, 2016 or the date Mr. Gavenda terminates employment, Fairport Savings Bank will credit a specified amount to Mr. Gavenda’s accrued SERP obligation account (the “SERP Benefit”). The maximum aggregate value of the SERP Benefit as of December 1, 2016 is $595,557, which is intended to provide a 15-year period certain annuity of approximately $60,000 per year. The SERP Benefit will not be credited with earnings nor debited for losses or expenses. The SERP Benefit will be paid to Mr. Gavenda in equal monthly installments for 15 years, beginning on the date that is six months after the later of (i) the date he terminates employment or (ii) attains age 65. In the event Mr. Gavenda dies while receiving payments, his designated beneficiary shall continue to receive the remaining payments.

 

If Mr. Gavenda’s employment is terminated for “cause,” then he will forfeit all SERP Benefits.

 

In the event Mr. Gavenda terminates employment due to “disability,” the SERP Benefit shall be paid to him in a lump sum no later than 90 days after the date he terminated employment.

 

In the event of Mr. Gavenda’s separation from service within two years following a change in control of Fairport Savings Bank, the SERP Benefit shall be paid to Mr. Gavenda in a lump sum as soon as administratively feasible but no later than 90 days after his date of termination.

 

If Mr. Gavenda is a “specified employee” on the date of his separation from service for any reason (other than due to death or disability), his SERP benefit shall commence or be paid no earlier than the first day of the seventh month following his separation from service.

 

Effective August 1, 2010, Fairport Savings Bank established a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) with Mr. Maroney, which is a non-qualified defined benefit plan.  Under the terms of the SERP, upon separation from service after attaining age 65, Fairport Savings Bank will pay Mr. Maroney an annual benefit of $40,000, payable in equal monthly installments for 15 years commencing on the first day of the month after his separation from service.  If Mr. Maroney has a separation from service before age 65 or within 24 months after a change in control (as defined in the SERP) or if he experiences a disability (as defined in the SERP) before age 65 or if he dies, then he will be paid a lump sum equal to the accrual balance under the SERP on the first day of the month following his separation from service. However, no SERP benefits are payable if Mr. Maroney’s separation from service is for cause (as defined in the SERP).

 

If Mr. Maroney is a “specified employee” on the date of his separation from service for any reason (other than due to death or disability), his SERP benefit shall commence or be paid no earlier than the first day of the seventh month following his separation from service.

 

Executive Compensation Clawback Agreement with Kevin D. Maroney. On February 23, 2012, the Bank entered into an Executive Compensation Clawback Agreement with Mr. Maroney. Under the agreement, Mr. Maroney acknowledges that he will not be entitled to receive any payments due under the Annual Incentive

 

 12 

 

 

Compensation Program offered by Fairport Savings Bank (the “Incentive Plan”) and/or may be required to repay any payments previously received under the Incentive Plan in the following circumstances: (1) Mr. Maroney’s Incentive Plan payment was conditioned upon achieving certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a substantial restatement of Fairport Savings Bank’s financial statements and Mr. Maroney engaged in misconduct that caused the need for the substantial restatement, and a lower payment would have been made to Mr. Maroney based upon the restated financial results, or (2) the board of directors of Fairport Savings Bank determines that Mr. Maroney has engaged in fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct detrimental to Fairport Savings Bank. If Fairport Savings Bank determines that one of the circumstances described above has occurred, Mr. Maroney will be notified and will have ten days to request a reconsideration of Fairport Savings Bank’s determination. If Mr. Maroney fails to request reconsideration and/or Fairport Savings Bank elects not to reconsider its determination, he will be liable for repayment of all Incentive Plan payments paid within the preceding three years or during the period of conduct examined, whichever is longer. Fairport Savings Bank is entitled to offset any such liability against any compensation owed to him by Fairport Savings Bank and he will become ineligible to receive any further Incentive Plan payments. In the event Mr. Maroney is required to repay any amount to Fairport Savings Bank, such repayment will be due within one year from Fairport Savings Bank’s notification of the repayment obligation. In the event such repayment obligation triggers income tax penalties to Fairport Savings Bank or Mr. Maroney, Mr. Maroney will be solely responsible for the payment of such taxes.

 

401(k) Plan. Fairport Savings Bank maintains the Fairport Savings Bank 401(k) Savings Plan, a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan (the “401(k) Plan”), for all employees who have satisfied the 401(k) plan’s eligibility requirements. Employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan upon attainment of age 21 and completion of one year of service.

 

A participant may contribute up to 100% of his or her compensation to the 401(k) Plan on a pre-tax basis, subject to the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. For the 2016 calendar year, the maximum salary deferral contribution that can be made by a participant is $18,000, provided however that a participant over age 50 may contribute an additional $6,000 to the 401(k) Plan. In addition to salary deferral contributions, Fairport Savings Bank will make a matching contribution equal to 100% of the first 6% of the compensation that is deferred by the participant during the plan year. In addition, Fairport Savings Bank may make a discretionary contribution of up to 2% of each eligible employee’s annual base compensation. A participant is always 100% vested in his or her salary deferral contributions.  All employer contributions vest at a rate of 20% per year, beginning after the participant’s completion of his or her first year of service, such that the participant will be fully vested upon completion of five years of credited service. Generally, a participant (or participant’s beneficiary) may receive a distribution from his or her vested account at retirement (age 65), early retirement (age 55 and five years of vesting service), death, disability, or termination of employment.

 

Each participant has an individual account under the 401(k) plan and may direct the investment of his or her account among a variety of investment options available.

 

Stock Benefit Plans

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust. Fairport Savings adopted the Fairport Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) in connection with FSB Community Bankshares, Inc.’s 2007 initial stock offering. As part of the offering, the ESOP borrowed funds from FSB Community Bankshares, Inc. and used those funds to purchase 69,972 shares of the common stock.

 

On July 13, 2016 concurrent with the completion of the conversion of FSB Community Bankshares, MHC from the mutual holding company to stock holding company form of the organization, shares of common stock of FSB Community Bankshares, Inc. owned by the ESOP were exchanged for shares of FSB Bancorp, Inc.’s common stock pursuant to an exchange ratio. The shares of the common stock are the collateral for the loan. Employees who are at least 21 years old with at least one year of employment with Fairport Savings Bank are eligible to participate. The loan has a term of 20 years and is repaid principally from discretionary contributions by Fairport Savings Bank to the ESOP. The loan may be repaid over a shorter period, without penalty for prepayments. The interest rate is an adjustable rate equal to the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal as of January 1 of each calendar year.

 

The shares purchased with the loan are held in a suspense account and are allocated to participants’ accounts in the employee stock ownership plan as the loan is repaid. Participants will have no interest in the shares in the suspense account and only have an interest in the shares actually allocated to their accounts as the loan is repaid. Allocations are made to each participant’s account in the ratio that his or her compensation bears to the

 

 13 

 

 

compensation of all plan participants during the plan year. Benefits under the plan become vested at the rate of 20% per year, starting upon completion of two years of credited service, and will be fully vested upon completion of six years of credited service, with credit given to participants for up to three years of credited service with Fairport Savings Bank prior to the adoption of the plan. A participant’s interest in his account under the plan will also fully vest in the event of termination of service due to a participant’s normal retirement, death, disability, or upon a change in control (as defined in the plan). Vested benefits will be payable generally in the form of common stock, or to the extent participants’ accounts contain cash, benefits will be paid in cash. Pursuant to the accounting guidance governing employers’ accounting for employee stock ownership plans, we are required to record compensation expense each year in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares released from the suspense account. For 2016, this expense was $44,000.

 

Directors’ Compensation

 

FSB Bancorp, Inc. pays no fees for service on the Board of Directors or Board committees. However, each of the individuals who currently serves as one of our directors also serves as a director of Fairport Savings Bank and earns fees in that capacity.

 

In 2016, each non-employee director received a retainer fee of $650 for each scheduled monthly meeting and $650 for attendance at each scheduled monthly meeting, and received $600 for attendance at meetings of the Audit Committee, Compensation/Benefits/Marketing Committee, Nominating Committee, $200 for attendance at the quarterly ALCO Committee meetings, and $150 for attendance at any Commercial Loan Committee meeting. In addition to these fees in 2016, Director Twitchell received a fee of $6,000 for serving as the Chairman of the Board; Director Patric received a fee of an additional $100 per committee meeting for serving as the Chairman of the Compensation/Benefits/Marketing Committee, Director Pender received a fee of an additional $100 per committee meeting for serving as Chairman of the Audit Committee; and Director Warshof received a fee of an additional $100 per committee meeting for serving as Chairman of the Nominating Committee. Fairport Savings Bank paid fees totaling $238,050 to its eleven non-employee board members during the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

As of February 28, 2017, each non-employee director receives a retainer fee of $675 for each scheduled monthly meeting and $675 for attendance at each scheduled monthly meeting. Directors will also receive $650 for attendance at meetings of the Audit Committee, Compensation/Benefits/Marketing Committee, Nominating Committee, and $250 for attendance at the quarterly ALCO Committee meetings, and $150 for attendance at any Commercial Loan Committee meetings. In addition to these fees, the Chairman of the Board will receive a fee of $7,000 per year; and the Chairman of the Compensation/Benefits/Marketing Committee, Audit Committee and Nominating Committee will receive an additional $150 per meeting.

 

The following table sets forth for the year ended December 31, 2016 certain information as to the total remuneration we paid to our directors other than Mr. Gavenda. No additional compensation was paid to Mr. Gavenda for his service as a director.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Our executive officers and directors and beneficial owners of greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock are required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of our common stock. Securities and Exchange Commission rules require disclosure if an executive officer, director or 10% beneficial owner fails to file these reports on a timely basis. Based on our review of ownership reports and management questionnaires, we believe that none of our executive officers or directors failed to file these reports on a timely basis for 2016.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally prohibits us from making loans to our executive officers and directors, but it contains a specific exemption from such prohibition for loans made by Fairport Savings Bank to our executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking regulations.

 

The aggregate amount of our outstanding loans to our officers and directors and their related entities was approximately $596,000 at December 31, 2016. All of such loans were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons not related to us, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. These loans were performing according to their repayment terms at December 31, 2016, and were made in compliance with federal banking regulations.

 

In accordance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, any transactions that would be required to be reported under this section of this proxy statement must be approved by our Audit Committee or another independent body of the board of directors. In addition, any transaction with a director is reviewed by and subject to approval of the members of the board of directors who are not directly involved in the proposed transaction to confirm that the transaction is on terms that are no less favorable as those that would be available to us from an unrelated party through an arms-length transaction.

(the "Company") that has been allocated to the participants' ESOP accounts. In accordance with the ESOP document, participants who have shares allocated to their accounts have the right to direct the Trustee as to the voting of such shares at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at the Perinton Community Center located at 1350 Turk Hill Road, Fairport, New York 14450, on Wednesday, May 24, 2017 at 2:00 p.m., local time (the "Annual Meeting").

Delaware Charter Guarantee & Trust Company is the trustee (the "Trustee") for the ESOP. The Trustee is directed to vote the shares of Company common stock allocated to the participants' accounts in accordance with the voting instructions received from the participants, so long as such vote is in accordance with the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Company has retained Computershare Investor Services as its agent to receive the Confidential ESOP Voting Instruction Form completed by participants in the ESOP and to tabulate the results. The Company is forwarding the Confidential ESOP Voting Instruction Form so that you may convey your voting instructions on the matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting and on such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The effect of the foregoing procedure is that all shares of the Company's common stock held in the ESOP (including unallocated shares) will be voted FOR or AGAINST (or in the case of director nominees, FOR or WITHHOLD) each proposal specified on the Confidential ESOP Voting Instruction Form. Thus, if you provide timely voting instructions, you, in effect, will be voting the shares allocated to your ESOP account and participating in the voting of unallocated shares and shares allocated to other ESOP participants' accounts for which timely voting instructions are not received or an instruction to ABSTAIN is received. If any other business is brought before the Annual Meeting, this form will be voted by the Trustee in a manner intended to represent the best interest of participants and beneficiaries of the Fairport Savings Bank ESOP. At the present time, the Company knows of no other business to be brought before the Annual Meeting. The Trustee of the Fairport Savings Bank ESOP is hereby directed to vote the shares allocated to my account under the Fairport Savings Bank ESOP as indicated. If I do not return this Confidential ESOP Voting Instruction Form in a timely manner, shares allocated to my ESOP account will be voted in proportion to the manner in which other participants have voted their shares, subject to the determination that such a vote is for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and beneficiaries. Abstentions will be similarly treated, but solely with respect to the proposal for which an abstention is marked.

The Trustee of the Fairport Savings Bank 401(k) Plan is hereby directed to vote my shares as indicated. If I do not return this Confidential 401(k) Plan Voting Instruction Form in a timely manner, shares in my 401(k) Plan account will be voted in proportion to the manner in which other participants have voted their shares, subject to the determination that such a vote is for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and beneficiaries. Abstentions will be similarly treated, but solely with respect to the proposal for which an abstention is marked.
