Item 5.02               Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On December 17, 2010, the Board of Directors of Danvers Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan of Danvers Bancorp, Inc. (the “Plan”).  The Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that is designed to qualify for an exemption from certain requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.  The Plan allows directors of the Company to defer either a percentage or a specified amount of their cash or equity compensation.   Participants may elect to reduce their cash compensation or their equity compensation for the upcoming year by a percentage amount or by a specific dollar amount. Cash compensation deferred under the Plan will be adjusted to reflect the amount that would result if the compensation were invested in the highest yielding certificate of deposit issued by the Company during the relevant deferral period.  Equity compensation deferred under the Plan will be treated as if it is invested in shares of the Company during the relevant deferral period. Upon deferring compensation, participants may specify a date on which to receive a lump sum distribution of all amounts they deferred under the Plan or all amounts deferred during a calendar year. The Plan provides for early distributions in certain control transactions or if an individual participant dies, becomes disabled or is terminated.

 

The foregoing description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
