塞拉銀行董事會通過設立名譽董事職位及退休計劃

AI 繁中摘要

📄 **申報類型：8-K**  
**公司：Sierra Bancorp（股票代碼：BSRR）**  
**事件日期：2026年7月23日**

Sierra Bancorp 董事會於 2026年7月23日通過設立「名譽董事」（Director Emeritus）職位，並即日起生效實施《名譽董事退休計劃》。該計劃旨在為符合資格的非僱員董事（包括其全資附屬公司 Bank of the Sierra 的董事）提供退休福利，以協助公司及銀行持續留任高質素董事人才。

**計劃重點🔍**  
- 合資格董事必須滿足以下條件方可成為名譽董事並領取福利：  
  ① 自願從公司及／或銀行董事會退休，且於退休前已服務滿計劃規定的最低年資；  
  ② 與公司或銀行簽訂《名譽董事協議》（協議範本已列作計劃附件 A）。  

- 退休福利金額：每年獲發的金額相當於該董事退休前12個月（以退休日期計算）從公司及／或銀行收取的年度現金預留金（不包括委員會預留金）的 **50%**。此福利每年支付，為期 **3 年**，並受計劃條款及《名譽董事協議》約束。  

- 計劃由董事會或其指定委員會擔任管理者。

**對投資者的潛在意義💡**  
是次變動屬公司治理層面的常規更新，透過提供具競爭力的退休待遇，有助挽留經驗豐富的董事，維持董事會穩定性。不過，退休福利的開支（按個別董事過往預留金計算）將於未來3年內逐步反映在財務報表中，投資者可留意相關薪酬成本對盈利的輕微影響。整體而言，計劃對公司長期穩健經營屬正面信號。

Item 8.01Other Events

On July 23, 2026, Registrant established the position of Director Emeritus and adopted the Retirement Plan for Directors Emeritus (the “Plan”), effective as of July 23, 2026. The Plan is designed to provide retirement benefits for qualified non-employee directors (each, an “Eligible Director”) of the Registrant’s Board of Directors and members of the board of its wholly owned subsidiary, Bank of the Sierra (the “Bank”), and to help ensure Registrant’s and Bank’s continued ability to retain highly qualified directors. 
In order to be eligible to become a Director Emeritus and to receive any benefits under the Plan, an Eligible Director must: (i) voluntarily retire from the Registrant and/or Bank Board of Directors after the Eligible Director has served the minimum number of years set forth in the Plan; and (ii) enter into a Director Emeritus Agreement with Registrant or Bank, as applicable, in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Plan.
The annual retirement benefits payable pursuant to the Plan to a Director Emeritus is equal to fifty percent (50%) of the annual cash retainer amount (excluding committee retainers) paid to the Eligible Director by Registrant and/or Bank for his or her service on the board during the immediately preceding 12-month period, measured from the date of retirement. The annual Plan benefit shall be payable for a period of three (3) years, subject to the conditions of the Plan and the provisions of the Director Emeritus Agreement.
The Board of Directors of Registrant, or such other committee as appointed by the Board of Directors, will serve as the administrator of the Plan.
The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
