(e) On March 25, 2015, the registrant restated the Isabella Bank Corporation Death Benefit Plan as the Isabella Bank Corporation Split Dollar Plan ("Plan"). The primary purposes of the restatement were to modify certain participants' benefits and to update certain Plan provisions.
Under the Plan, the registrant, through individual life insurance policies, provides death benefits to select highly compensated employees, who may include the Corporation's named executive officers. The registrant is the sole owner of each life insurance policy, pays all premiums due under the policies, and is the beneficiary of any death benefit payable from the policies to the extent that such amounts exceed the benefits that are payable pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Upon a participant’s death, the participant’s beneficiaries will be paid the amounts specified under the Plan unless the participant’s employment has terminated under certain circumstances.
The foregoing brief description of the restatement and of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1.
