ITEM 5.02             Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
(e)

On October 21, 2015, the Board of Directors of Central Valley Community Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, Central Valley Community Bank (the Bank), adopted a board resolution to create the Central Valley Community Bank Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). The Plan is effective as of October 21, 2015. Pursuant to the Plan, all eligible executives of the Bank may elect to defer up to 50 percent of their compensation for each deferral year.

The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded arrangement maintained by the Bank primarily for the purpose of providing a deferred compensation plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as described in sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Interest shall be credited on the balance in each participant’s deferral account at the end of each deferral year and immediately prior to the commencement of benefit payments. The interest rate for each year shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Bank in its sole and absolute discretion.

The election to participate in the plan and the amount of compensation to be deferred must be submitted to the Bank prior to commencement of year in which deferral to occur. Elections become irrevocable on December 15 of the year prior to the year in which deferral occurs.  Only cash compensation, including salary and cash bonus or incentive amounts, is eligible for deferral.

Deferred amounts and interest thereon may be paid only upon termination of employment, death, or disability of executive, in the event of unforeseeable emergencies, or upon change in control of the Bank. 

A copy of the Plan will be filed with the Registrant’s Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2015.
