WHAT ARE NONQUALIFIED COMPENSATION BENEFIT PLANS? 
Nonqualified Compensation Benefit Plans are tax-deferred employer funded or employee funded retirement plans that attract, retain and reward key executive talent. They are designed to meet retirement needs of key executives, that may be a better fit than a traditional 401(k) plan, which they may not qualify for based on their earnings.  There are a variety of different plans that a company may create to best fit the needs of their employees, they include: Deferred Compensation Plans, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans, Executive Bonus Plans and Short-Term and Long-Term Incentive Plans. 


WHAT IS BOLI?  
BOLI is a life insurance owned by the bank, issued on the lives of bank employees and directors.  BOLI can help offset the costs of nonqualified plans for key employees and/or the costs of existing employee benefits. BOLI is immediately accretive to earnings and improves non-interest income and shareholder value.  Since the bank owns the policy, they receive the proceeds from the death benefit.  A way to make BOLI an employee benefit is to purchase split-dollar policies, so the employee’s beneficiary would receive some of the proceeds.
