1. | Description of Plan |
The following description is provided for general information summary purposes. Participants of the Northfield Bank Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) should refer to the Summary Plan document for more detailed and complete description of the Plan provisions. |
General |
The Plan is a defined contribution employee savings plan covering all eligible employees of Northfield Bank (the Bank). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). |
Contributions |
Participating employees with one or more years of credit service who are salaried employees are entitled to contribute to the plan between 2% to 15% (subject to certain IRS limitations) of their compensation, as defined in the Plan. Contributions can be made on a before-tax basis. |
The Bank matches a portion of the participants before tax contributions. The Bank contributed an amount equal to one-quarter of the employee contributions on the first 6% of base compensation, as defined, contributed by eligible employees for the first three years of participation. The Bank contributed an amount equal to one-half of the employee contributions on the first 6% of base compensation, as defined, contributed by eligible employees for years subsequent to three years of participation. The Bank may make discretionary contributions which may vary in amount from year to year. There were no discretionary Bank contributions made for 2010. |
Vesting |
Plan participants are 100 percent vested in the account balance attributable to their voluntary contributions, including related earnings therein. |
The vesting schedule related to Bank matching contributions are as follows: |
Years of Service | Percentage Vested | |||
Less than 1 year |
-0- | % | ||
1 year |
20 | % | ||
2 years |
40 | % | ||
3 years |
60 | % | ||
4 years |
80 | % | ||
5 years or more |
100 | % |
Forfeitures |
If a participant terminates employment with the Bank and is less than 100% vested in the employer contribution, the participant forfeits the non-vested portion of their employer contribution. A forfeiture will occur in the plan year that the participant receives a distribution on their entire vested account or if the participant does not receive a distribution after five consecutive one year breaks in service. Forfeitures are retained in the Plan and used to reduce future Bank contributions. Forfeitures included in plan assets amounted to $5,975 and $11,676 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. |
Administrative Expenses |
Expenses associated with administering the Plan are generally paid by the Bank. Certain participant-specific expenses are assessed against such Participants individual investment accounts. |
Payment of Benefits |
4
value of the vested interest in his or her account as a single cash payment, rollover to an individual retirement (IRA) or a straight-life annuity contract. |
Notes Receivable from Participants |
Eligible participants may borrow up to the lesser of (1) fifty percent (50%) of the value of the employee vested account or (2) $50,000 reduced by the largest outstanding receivable balance during the past 12 months. The interest rate on all such notes receivable are fixed for the term of the receivable and are based on the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the first day of the month in which the loan was made. The rate shall remain in effect until the receivable is repaid. Interest rates on notes receivable from participants ranged from 3.25% to 8.25% at December 31, 2010 and 4.00% to 8.25% at December 31, 2009. |
Distributions |
During employment, a participant may make withdrawals of amounts applicable to employee and vested employer contributions, subject to certain restrictions, as defined. Participants are entitled to withdraw funds upon attaining age 59 1/2 or for financial hardship before that age. Participants may qualify for financial hardship withdrawals if they have an immediate and substantial financial need, as defined by the Plan document. Participants are limited to one withdrawal in any calendar year. |
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Accounting |
The accompanying financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. |
Payment of Benefits |
Amounts paid to participants are recorded upon distribution. |
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. |
Reclassifications |
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Specifically, notes receivable from participants have been reclassified on the statement of net assets to be excluded from total investments and reported at their unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest as a separated item on the statement of net assets available for plan benefits in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-25, Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans a consensus of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force. |
The Northfield Bancorp, Inc. Stock fund is valued at its estimated fair value based on the last reported sales price of the year for its ownership of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. common stock and the published market value in active markets for its ownership in money market mutual funds. Mutual Funds are valued on the last business day of the year based on published market values in active markets. Investments in common/collective trusts, are based on fair value of the underlying mutual funds, which are valued on the last business day of the year based on published market values in active markets. | ||
Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for plan benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. An investment contract is a contract issued by a financial institution to provide a stated rated rate of return to the buyer of the contract for a specified |
5
period of time. A security backed contract has similar characteristics as a traditional investment contact and is comprised of two parts: the first part is fixed-income security or portfolio of fixed-income securities; the second part is a contract value guarantee (wrapper) provided by a third party. Wrappers provide contract value payments for certain participant-initiated withdrawals and transfers, a floor crediting rate, and return of fully accrued contract value at maturity. The contract value represents contributions made under contract less any participant directed withdrawals plus interest which has not been received from the issuer. The Plan invests in investment contracts through a common collective trust (Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund J). As required by the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits presents the estimated fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. The estimated fair value of the Plans interest in the Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund J are primarily based on the following; Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GIC) are based on the discounted present value of future cash flows at the current discount rate and security-backed contracts are based on the estimated fair value of underlying securities and the estimated fair value of the wrapper contract. The estimated fair value of the wrapper contract provided by a security-backed contract issuer is the present value of the difference between the wrapper fee and the contracted wrapper fee. |
In certain circumstances, the amount withdrawn from the wrapper contract would be payable at fair value rather that at contract value. These events include termination of the Plan, a material adverse change to the provisions of the Plan, if the employer elects to withdraw from the wrapper contract in order to switch to a different investment provider, or if the terms of successor plan (in the event of spin-off or sale of a division) do not meet the wrapper contract issuers underwriting criteria for issuance of clone wrapper contract. These events described above that could result in the payment of benefits at market value rather than at contract value are not probable in the foreseeable future. |
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the average yields for GICs were as follows: |
2010 | 2009 | |||||||
Based on actual earnings |
2.38 | % | 3.40 | % | ||||
Based on interest rate credited to participants |
2.90 | % | 3.32 | % |
Actual earnings of the GICs represents the annualized earnings of all investments in the Fund, including the earnings recorded at the underlying collective trusts, divided by the fair value of all investments in the Fund at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Interest credit to the participants for the GICs represents the annual earnings credited to participants in the Fund, divided by the fair value of all investments in the Fund at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. |
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
Notes Receivable from Participants |
Notes receivable are valued at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Upon, default, these receivables are deemed to be a distribution to the participant. |
Risks and Uncertainties |
The Plan has various investments, directed by participants, including mutual funds, common/collective trusts, and direct holdings in common stock of Northfield Bancorp, Inc., parent company of the Bank. These investments are subject to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of the investments will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits. |
6
The Northfield Bancorp, Inc. Stock Fund is subject to various risks including concentration risk since the fund invests primarily in the common stock of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. and therefore the performance of the fund is primarily determined by the performance of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. common stock. The market price of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. common stock is dependent on a number of factors, including the financial condition and profitability of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. and Northfield Bank. In addition, the market price of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. common stock may be affected by general market conditions, market interest rates, the market for financial institutions, merger and takeover transactions, the presence of professional and other investors who purchase common stock on speculation, as well as other unforeseeable events not necessarily within the control of the board of directors of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. and the Bank. | ||
Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements | ||
Notes Receivable from Participants In September 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-25, Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans a consensus of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force. ASU 2010-25 changed the reporting of loans to participants. Prior to ASU 2010-25, loans to participants were reported as investments at estimated fair value. ASU 2010-25 requires that loans to participants be reported as notes receivable from participants at the unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. ASU 2010-25 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 2010. The Plan adopted ASU 2010-25 in the 2010 financial statements, applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2010-25 was not significant as the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest of loans to participants approximated estimated fair value. | ||
The Plan is not aware of other new accounting standards that were required to be adopted in 2010, or yet to be adopted, that would materially affect the Plans 2010 or prospective financial statements. |

5. | Fair Value Measurements |
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, each of the Plans fair value measurements are categorized in one of the following three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety: | ||
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | ||
Level 2Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | ||
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |

6. | Tax Status |
The Plan has received determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated June 19, 2001, stating that the written form of the underlying prototype plan document is qualified under Section 401(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), that any employer adopting this form of the Plan will be considered to have a plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code. Therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. In April of 2010, the Plan administrator submitted a request for a new determination letter from the Internal Revenue Services for the underlying prototype plan. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt. | ||
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by federal and state tax authorities. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2010, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions, however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2007. |
7. | Plan Termination |
The Bank has not expressed any intention to discontinue the Plan, however, it has the right under the Plan to terminate or discontinue employee contributions to the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination, plan participants will become 100% vested in their Company contribution accounts and are entitled to full distribution of such amounts. |
8. | Party-in-Interest Transactions |
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Plan held 430,164 and 408,382 units, respectively, of the Northfield Bancorp, Inc. Stock Fund. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Northfield Bancorp, Inc. Stock Fund held 413,732 and 390,617 shares, respectively, of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. common stock. |
