FR Y–9ES

Who Must Report

B. Shifts in Reporting Status

A. Reporting Criteria

If the status of an ESOP holding company changes from
a one bank ESOP holding company to a multibank ESOP
holding company, or vice versa, either directly or indirectly through a merger, acquisition, consolidation or
sale, the ESOP holding company should continue to file
the FR Y-9ES. When an event such as this occurs, the
ESOP holding company should disclose this in the Notes
to the Financial Statements of the FR Y-9ES.

The Financial Statements for Employee Stock Ownership
Plan Holding Companies (FR Y-9ES) must be filed by
all employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) that are
also bank holding companies1 or savings and loan
holding companies2 (collectively ‘‘holding companies’’)
as of the last calendar day of the calendar year. ESOP
holding companies should file the FR Y-9ES; no other
FR Y-9 series form is required. However, holding companies that are subsidiaries of ESOP holding companies
(i.e., a tiered holding company) must submit (a) the
Consolidated Financial Statements for Holding
Companies—FR Y-9C, (b) the Parent Company Only
Financial Statements for Large Holding Companies—FR
Y-9LP or (c) the Parent Company Only Financial Statements for Small Holding Companies—FR Y-9SP in
accordance with the appropriate reporting requirements.
The instructions for the FR Y-9C, FR Y-9LP, and
FR Y-9SP are not included in these instructions but may
be obtained from the district Federal Reserve Bank or
from the ‘‘Reporting Forms’’ section of the Federal
Reserve Board’s public website (www.federalreserve.gov).
1. Under Section 3(a)(1) of the BHC Act and Section 225 of Regulation Y, an ESOP may be required to register, and be regulated, as a bank
holding company. For further information, contact the respective Reserve
Bank where reports generally are filed. (See the Glossary entry for
‘‘Control.’’).
2. Savings and loan holding companies (SLHCs) do not include any
trust (other than a pension, profit-sharing, stockholders’ voting, or business
trust) which controls a savings association if such trust by its terms must
terminate within 25 years or not later than 21 years and 10 months after the
death of individuals living on the effective date of the trust, and (a) was in
existence and in control of a savings association on June 26, 1967, or, (b) is
a testamentary trust. See Section 238.2 of the interim final rule of Regulation LL, dated September 13, 2011, for more information.
FR Y-9ES
General Instructions December 2013

When there is dilution of the percentage of employer
securities owned by the ESOP holding company through
issuance of additional shares or other corporate actions, it
should continue to file the FR Y-9ES as long as the ESOP
remains or is deemed to be a holding company.

Where to Submit the Report
Electronic Submission
Beginning with the FR Y-9ES report submitted for
December 31, 2003, reporting date, ESOP holding companies must submit their completed report electronically.
For procedures for electronic submission ESOP holding
companies should contact their district Federal Reserve
Bank or go to http://www.frbservices.org/centralbank/
reportingcentral/index.html.

When to Submit the Report
The Financial Statements for Employee Stock Ownership
Plan Holding Companies (FR Y-9ES) is required to be
submitted no later than July 31 following the December
31 reporting date. However, for ESOP holding companies that have received an extension with the IRS on
Form 5500 by filing Form 5558, the submission deadline
of the FR Y-9ES will be extended to October 15 to
coincide with the extended IRS deadline. For example,
financial statements for December 31, 20xx are required
GEN-1

General Instructions

to be submitted no later than July 31, 20xx for ESOP
holding companies that have not received an extension
with the IRS and October 15 for ESOP holding companies that have received an extension. However, ESOP
holding companies that filed for an extension with the
IRS must send a copy of Form 5558 to the appropriate
Federal Reserve Bank by July 31. Therefore, for purposes of the FR Y-9ES, the term ‘submission deadline’
applies to both the July 31 and October 15 deadlines and
refers to the date by which the Federal Reserve must
receive the ESOP holding company’s FR Y-9ES or the
copy of Form 5558.
The report is due by the end of the reporting day on the
submission deadline (i.e., 5:00 P.M. at each of the
Reserve Banks).
If the submission deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday
(weekend) or holiday, the report must be received by
5:00 P.M. on the first business day after the weekend or
holiday. Earlier submission would aid the Federal Reserve
in reviewing and processing the reports and is encouraged. No extensions of time for submitting reports
beyond October 15 are granted.

How to Prepare the Report
A. Applicability of GAAP
ESOP holding companies are required to prepare and file
the Financial Statements for Employee Stock Ownership
Plan Holding Companies (FR Y-9ES) in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as set
forth in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
and these instructions. For purposes of these instructions,
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification is referred
to as ‘‘ASC.’’ All reports shall be prepared in a consistent
manner. The ESOP holding company’s financial records
shall be maintained in such a manner and scope so as to
ensure that the FR Y-9ES can be prepared and filed in
accordance with these instructions and reflect a fair
presentation of the ESOP holding company’s financial
condition and results of operations.
When the Federal Reserve’s interpretation of how GAAP
or these instructions should be applied to a specified
event or transaction (or series of related events or transactions) differs from the reporting ESOP holding company’s interpretation, the Federal Reserve may require
the ESOP holding company to reflect the event(s) or
transaction(s) in its FR Y-9ES in accordance with the
GEN-2

Federal Reserve’s interpretation and to amend previously
submitted reports. The Federal Reserve will consider the
materiality of such event(s) or transaction(s) in making a
determination about requiring the ESOP holding company to apply the Federal Reserve’s interpretation and to
amend previously submitted reports. Materiality is a
qualitative characteristic of accounting information which
is defined in FASB Concepts No. 2 as ‘‘the magnitude of
an omission or misstatement of accounting information
that, in the light of surrounding circumstances, make it
probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying
on the information would have been changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement.’’
ESOP holding companies should retain workpapers and
other records used in the preparation of these reports.

B. Report Form Captions and
Instructional Detail
No caption on the report form shall be changed in any
way. A zero should be entered whenever an ESOP
holding company can participate in an activity, but may
not, on the report date, have any outstanding balances.
An item should be left blank if the ESOP holding
company is not involved in a transaction.
There may be areas in which an ESOP holding company
wishes more technical detail on the application of
employee benefit law and regulation. Such information
may often be found in the Glossary section of these
instructions or, in more detail, in the Internal Revenue
Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or
related regulations. The employee benefit terms in the
Glossary are intended to serve as an aid in the specific
reporting situations rather than a comprehensive statement of employee benefit law.
Additional copies of this instruction book may be obtained
from the district Federal Reserve Bank or from the
‘‘Reporting Forms’’ section of the Federal Reserve
Board’s public website (www.federalreserve.gov).

C. Rounding
All dollar amounts must be reported in thousands of
dollars, with the figures rounding to the nearest thousand.
Items less than $500 should be reported as zero.
Rounding could result in details not adding to their stated
totals. However, to ensure consistent reporting, the
FR Y-9ES
General Instructions December 2013

General Instructions

rounded detail items should be adjusted so that the totals
and the sums of their components are identical.
On the Financial Statements for Employee Stock Ownership Plan Holding Companies, ‘‘Total assets’’ less
‘‘Total liabilities’’ must equal ‘‘Net assets available for
benefits.’’ These amounts must be derived from unrounded
numbers and then rounded to ensure that these two items
are equal as reported.

D. Negative Entries
Negative entries are generally not appropriate on the
FR Y-9ES and should not be reported. Hence, assets with
credit balances must be reported in liability items and
liabilities with debit balances must be reported in asset
items, as appropriate, and in accordance with these
instructions.
However, on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Benefits, negative entries may appear as
appropriate. Income items with a debit balance and
expense items with a credit balance must be reported in
parentheses rather than with a minus (2) sign.

requested for any portion of the report. If the answer to
the first question is “Yes,” the Reporter must indicate
whether a letter justifying the request for confidential
treatment is included with the submission or has been
provided separately. If an institution does not fulfill both
requirements, or does not check the appropriate boxes,
confidential treatment will not be considered.
Note: Responses to the questions regarding confidential treatment on page 1 of the form will be considered
public information.
Information, for which confidential treatment is requested,
may subsequently be released by the Federal Reserve
System in accordance with the terms of 12 CFR 261.16,
or otherwise provided by law. The Federal Reserve may
subsequently release information for which confidential
treatment is accorded if the Board of Governors determines that the disclosure of such information is in the
public interest. If the Federal Reserve deems it necessary
to release confidential data, the reporting institution will
be notified before it is released.

F. Verification and Signature
E. Confidentiality
The completed version of this report generally is available to the public upon request on an individual basis.
However, a reporting ESOP holding company may
request confidential treatment for the Financial Statements for Employee Stock Ownership Plan Holding
Companies (FR Y-9ES) if the ESOP holding company is
of the opinion that disclosure of specific commercial or
financial information in the report would likely result in
substantial harm to its competitive position, or that
disclosure of the submitted information would result in
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
A request for confidential treatment must be submitted in
writing concurrently with the submission of the report.
The request must discuss in writing the justification for
which confidentiality is requested and must demonstrate
the specific nature of the harm that would result from
public release of the information. Merely stating that
competitive harm would result or that information is
personal is not sufficient.
Check Box. ESOP holding companies must select on
page 1 of the form whether any confidential treatment is

FR Y-9ES
General Instructions December 2020

Verification. All addition and subtraction should be
double-checked before the report is submitted. Totals and
subtotals in supporting materials should be crosschecked to corresponding items elsewhere in the report.
Before a report is submitted, all amounts should be
compared with the corresponding amounts in the previous report. If there are any unusual changes from the
previous report, a brief explanation of the changes should
be attached to the submitted report.
Signature. The Financial Statements for Employee Stock
Ownership Plan Holding Companies must be signed by
an authorized officer of the employee stock ownership
plan. This individual should be an official authorized by
the plan documents to act on behalf of the ESOP.
ESOP holding companies must maintain in their files a
manually signed and attested printout of the data submitted. The cover page of the Reserve Bank-supplied,
holding company’s software, or from the Federal
Reserve’s website report form should be used to fulfill
the signature and attestation requirement and this page
should be attached to the printout placed in the ESOP
holding company’s files.

G. Amended Reports

H. Organization of the Instruction Book

The Federal Reserve may require the filing of amended
Financial Statements for Employee Stock Ownership
Plan Holding Companies if the report previously submitted contains significant errors. In addition, an ESOP
holding company should file an amended report when
internal or external auditors make audit adjustments that
result in a restatement of financial statements previously
submitted to the Federal Reserve. In the event that certain
of the required data are not available, ESOP holding
companies should contact the appropriate Reserve Bank
for information on submitting a revised report.

The instruction book is divided into two sections:

GEN-4

(1) The General Instructions describing overall reporting
requirements.
(2) The Line Item Instructions for each schedule of the
Financial Statements for Employee Stock Ownership
Plan Holding Companies (FR Y-9ES).
The instructions and definitions in section (2) are not
necessarily self-contained; reference to more detailed
treatments in the Glossary may be needed.

benefits, and the recognition of changes in the net assets
available for benefits in the FR Y-9ES are to be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
accounting discussions in this Glossary are those relevant
to the preparation of these reports and are not intended to
constitute a comprehensive presentation on bank accounting or on generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP).
Subsequent to legislation that created Employee Stock
Ownership Plans (ESOPs), accounting standards for both
the plan and the plan sponsor have evolved. The appropriate accounting can vary from institution to institution,
depending on the date the ESOP was formed and other
unique factors. The information given below is intended
only as general guidance; for in-depth or specific information, it may be necessary to consult GAAP resources
or obtain expert accounting or legal advice.
Accounting for ESOPs: ESOP accounting as presented
in the FR Y-9ES should conform to generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). The plan should use a
special form of fair value accrual accounting consistent
with employee benefit plans and not the equity method of
accounting. The plan balance sheet should reflect ESOP
debt as a liability on its balance sheet. GAAP for ESOPs
are addressed primarily by the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide: Audits of Employee Benefit Plans.
Accounting for ESOPs by Sponsoring Employer:
Sponsoring employer accounting for a leveraged ESOP
will vary depending upon the formation date. (See the
Glossary entry for ‘‘Formation Date.’’) Employer accounting for ESOPs formed after 1993 is governed by the ASC
Subtopic 718-40, Compensation-Stock Compensation –
FR Y-9ES
Glossary December 2013

Employee Stock Ownership Plans (formerly AICPA
Statement of Position 93-6, Employers’ Accounting for
Employee Stock Ownership Plans). According to ASC
Subtopic 718-40, all debt of the ESOP must be reflected
as a liability on the financial statements of the sponsoring
employer. The shares purchased with the proceeds of
the debt are recorded by the sponsoring employer as a
contra-equity account. This account is reduced and the
shares are transferred to the ESOP in proportion to the
debt repayment.
ESOPs formed prior to 1994 are accounted for pursuant
to AICPA Statement of Position 76-3 as grandfathered by
ASC Subtopic 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting
Principal – Overall. For loans that closed or were renegotiated after June 19, 1989, the debt must be reflected on
the balance sheet of the sponsoring employer, and on the
balance sheet of the ESOP. Institutions accounting for
transactions under ASC Subtopic 105-10 also reflect the
debt balance as a contra-equity account. For additional
information, see ASC Subtopic 718-40, ASC Subtopic
105-10, and ASC Topic 960, Plan Accounting-Defined
Benefit Pension Plans (formerly FAS 35, Accounting and
Reporting by Defined Benefit Pension Plans), and any
other accounting standards relevant to the reporting
ESOP employer.
NOTE: When a leveraged ESOP borrows from an
affiliate bank or holding company the note receivable and
the note payable are both eliminated from the consolidated balance sheet. Likewise, income and expense
accounts are also eliminated. On a parent-only basis, they
continue to be reflected on each balance sheet.
Accumulated Plan Benefits: Benefits calculated to
the benefit information date that are attributable to the
employee under the provisions of the plan.
Adequate Consideration: In the case of a security for
which there is a recognized market, the price prevailing
on a national securities exchange. In the case of a closely

Glossary

held security, the fair market value of the asset as
determined in good faith by the trustee or named fiduciary.
Allocated Shares: The shares in an ESOP trust that have
been assigned to individual participant accounts based
on a known formula. IRS rules require allocation to be
nondiscriminatory (that is, generally based on compensation, length of service, or a combination of both). For
any particular participant such shares may be vested,
unvested or partially vested.
Appraisal: Closely held employer securities of an ESOP
must be independently appraised at least annually as of
the plan valuation date. For purposes of reporting on the
FR Y-9ES, the reporter should use the most recent plan
year-end appraisal.
Benefits: See ‘‘Pension Benefits’’ and ‘‘Accumulated
Plan Benefits.’’
Control: Under Section 3(a)(1) of the BHC Act and
Section 225.11 of Regulation Y, an ESOP is required to
register, and be regulated, as a bank holding company
before acquiring control of 25 percent or more of any
class of voting securities of a bank or bank holding
company. Under the rebuttable control presumption of
Section 225.31(d)(2)(ii) of Regulation Y, an ESOP also is
presumed to control a bank or bank holding company if it
acquires control of more than 5 percent (but less than
25 percent) of any class of that banking organization’s
voting securities and, together with the interests held by
its trustees and administrative committee members, controls 25 percent or more. In this situation, unless the
control presumption can be successfully rebutted, an
ESOP must register, and be regulated, as a ‘‘bank holding
company.’’
Like other bank holding companies, once an ESOP is
approved to control 25 percent or more, it must continue
to receive prior Federal Reserve approval for any increase
in the number or percentage of shares it owns until it is
approved to own over 50 percent, at which time it would
become exempt from further acquisition filing requirements under Section 225.12(c) of Regulation Y.
Under Section 10(b)(2) of the Home Owners’ Loan Act
and Section 238.11 of Regulation LL, an ESOP is
required to register, and be regulated, as a savings and
loan holding company before acquiring control of more
than 25 percent of any class of voting securities of a
savings and loan holding company. Under the rebuttable
GL-2

presumption of control of Section 228.21(d)(2)(ii) of
Regulation LL, an ESOP also is presumed to control a
savings and loan holding company if it acquires control
of more than 5 percent of the outstanding shares of any
class of voting securities of a savings association or other
company, and together with the interests held by its
management officials and principal shareholders (including members of the immediate families of either), owns,
controls, or holds with power to vote 25 percent or more
of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities
of the savings association or other company. In this
situation, unless the control presumption can be successfully rebutted, an ESOP must register, and be regulated,
as a ‘‘savings and loan holding company.’’
Contingent Liability: A contingent liability is recorded
on the balance sheet based on the probability that an asset
has been impaired or a loss has been incurred and the
amount of the contingent liability is reasonably estimable.
Contra-equity: A contra-equity account is an account
with a debit balance that is classified in the equity section
of the balance sheet. The sponsoring employer records
unearned ESOP shares in a contra-equity account. The
account would be titled ‘‘unearned ESOP shares’’ under
ASC Subtopic 718-40, Compensation-Stock Compensation – Employee Stock Ownership Plans (formerly
AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans) or ‘‘ESOP
debt’’ under AICPA Statement of Position 76-3 as grandfathered by ASC Subtopic 105-10, Generally Accepted
Accounting Principal – Overall. For further guidance, see
the FR Y-9C Glossary entries for ‘‘unearned ESOP
shares,’’ ‘‘ESOP debt,’’ and ‘‘contra-equity.’’
Contributions: Employers and/or plan participants make
contributions to ESOPs. In order for plan participants to make contributions, the ESOP must contain a
401(k) feature permitting employee deferrals or savings.
Employer contributions to retirement plans are generally
considered to be a part of compensation expense by the
employer. For additional information on plan deferral
contributions see the Glossary entry for ‘‘KSOP.’’
Contributions receivable: Amounts due as of the date
of the financial statements, including legal and contractual obligations; or amounts authorized by boards of
directors.
Defined contribution plan: A plan that provides an
individual account for each participant and provides
benefits that are based on (a) amounts contributed to

the participants account by the employer or employee,
(b) investment experience, and (c) any forfeitures allocated to the account less any administrative expenses
charged to the plan. Examples of a defined contribution
plan include a profit sharing plan, a 401(k) plan, and an
ESOP. See ASC Subtopic 715-70, CompensationRetirement Benefits – Defined Contribution Plans (formerly EITF 86-27, Measurement of Excess Contributions
to a Defined Contribution Plan or Employee Stock
Ownership Plan).
Disqualified Person: See ‘‘Party-in-Interest/Disqualified
Person.’’
Dividends on allocated shares used for debt service:
Dividends on allocated and unallocated shares must be
allocated to employee accounts. Companies normally
allocate these amounts using shares, or portions of shares,
released from the suspense account, when the dividends
have been used for debt service. The value of shares
released must equal or exceed the dividends on shares
that were allocated to employee accounts and were used
for debt service. Dividends on unallocated shares may be
allocated to participants based on any fair formula.
Employer Securities: See ‘‘Qualifying Employer
Securities.’’
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA): The ERISA is a federal law that sets minimum
standards for most voluntarily established pension and
health plans in private industry to provide protection for
individuals in these plans.
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA) Plan: A plan that is subject to ERISA.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). A taxqualified employee benefit plan, which is designed to be
invested primarily in qualifying employer securities and
is uniquely permitted to borrow money from or on the
guarantee of a party-in-interest for the purpose of acquiring securities issued by the plan sponsor (a leveraged
ESOP). The term ‘‘employee stock ownership plan’’ is
also generally applied to (a) non-leveraged stock bonus
plans that satisfy various requirements set forth in
section 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code and
(b) profit-sharing plans (and certain pre-ERISA money
purchase pension plans) that invest primarily in securities
issued by the plan sponsor.

Fiduciary: A person who has or exercises discretionary
authority in the management of plan assets or in the
administration of the plan. (Defined at ERISA section 3(21)). This generally includes plan administrators,
plan officers and directors, plan trustees, investment
managers, and persons with power to set plan policy and
procedures.
Form 5500: A joint-agency form developed by the
Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor and the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation which may be
used to satisfy the annual reporting requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code and Titles I and IV of ERISA.
Form 5500 and instructions can be obtained from the IRS
public website (www.irs.gov).
Form 5558: Application for Extension of Time To File
Certain Employee Plan Returns. A joint-agency (Internal
Revenue Service, Department of Labor and The Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation) form used to obtain a
one-time extension of time to file Form 5500 up to 21⁄2
months after the normal due date.
Formation Date: The formation date is that date that a
plan is formally adopted by the sponsoring employer and
legally takes effect, according to plan documents and the
sponsoring employer, and as determined by applicable
laws and regulations.
Holding Company: See ‘‘Control.’’
KSOP: A KSOP is an ESOP designed with 401(k)
provisions, which permits plan participants to defer or
save a portion of their salary into the tax-qualified plan. A
KSOP must be formally designated as an ESOP in order
to qualify to borrow funds for the purposes of purchasing
qualifying employer securities. Contributions receivable
in a KSOP are amounts due from plan participants that
are permissible under the plan and contributed pursuant
to a formal commitment as of the reporting date.
Leveraged ESOP: A leveraged ESOP directly or indirectly borrows funds to purchase qualifying employer
securities for the plan. Under certain circumstances funds
can be borrowed from the sponsoring employer. All
qualifying employer securities acquired by an ESOP with

proceeds from an exempt loan must be held in a contraequity account and then released to the ESOP as the loan
is paid. Under both ASC Subtopic 718-40, CompensationStock Compensation – Employee Stock Ownership Plans

‘‘ESOP debt’’ under AICPA Statement of Position 76-3

the option to require the employer to reacquire the shares
allocated to the participant’s account at the current fair
market value if the employer securities are not readily
tradable on an established market. According to SEC
Accounting Release #268, the employer is required to
reflect the obligation to repurchase shares from terminating employees outside of the equity accounts. For additional information regarding repurchase requirements
see Internal Revenue Code section 409(h)(1), and for
diversification rules see Internal Revenue Code section 401(a)(28).

The qualifying employer securities that are held as
collateral for the debt may fluctuate in market value; as a
result, the market value of the securities held as collateral
might not exactly equal the value of the debt. This
difference does not need to be reported separately on the
FR Y-9ES because allocated and unallocated shares are
aggregated together and because the net assets available
for plan benefits should not be affected by this fluctuation. (See the Glossary entry for ‘‘Net Assets Available
for Benefits.’’)

Net Assets Available for Benefits: Net assets available
for benefits is the difference between a plan’s assets and
its liabilities. For purposes of this definition, a plan’s
liabilities do not include participant’s accumulated plan
benefits.

Market (Fair) Value of Securities: The market value of
securities should be determined, to the extent possible, by
timely reference to the best available source of current
market quotations or other data on relative current values. For example, securities traded on national, regional,
or foreign exchanges or in organized over-the-counter
markets should be valued at the most recently available
quotation in the most active market.
The amount the plan could reasonably expect to receive
for a plan investment in a current sale between a willing
buyer and a willing seller. In the case of a closely held
security, an annual appraisal independently arrived at by
a person who customarily makes such appraisals and who
is independent of any party to a transaction will be
deemed to be a good faith determination of value. In the
case of a transaction between a plan and a disqualified
person, the value must be determined as of the date of the
transaction [Treas. Reg. 54.4975-11(d)(5)]. (See also
‘‘Adequate Consideration.’’)
Mature ESOP: Mature ESOPs are those whose participants are approaching retirement age; these ESOPs are
subject to diversification rules. To maintain its qualified
status, an ESOP must allow participants who have
attained the age of 55 and who have completed ten years
of service to elect to diversify a percentage of their
account. Also, a retiring or terminating participant has
GL-4

For leveraged ESOPs, the net assets available for benefits
represents the amount currently accumulated to ultimately pay benefits, even though the suspense account
shares are pledged as collateral for the debt and have not
yet been allocated to participants. Also, additions and
deductions reported in the Statement of Changes in Net
Assets Available for Benefits should include both allocated and unallocated (suspense account) amounts; share
transfers from unallocated to allocated should not be
presented because they do not affect net assets available
for plan benefits.
Additionally, the sum of the participant’s individual
account balances, for leveraged ESOPs, should equal the
fair value of the plan’s allocated assets. Therefore, the
reconciling items between (1) the sum of the participant’s
individual account balances and (2) net assets available
for benefits include the fair value of the plan’s unallocated (suspense account) assets and the plan’s liabilities.
Participant: A participant in an ESOP is any employee
or former employee or any member or former member
of a trade or other employee association, or the beneficiaries of these individuals, for whom there are accumulated plan benefits. See Form 5500 for more information.
Party-in-Interest/Disqualified Person: A party-ininterest or disqualified person is any person with an
inherent conflict of interest as to an employee benefit
plan. A party-in-interest or disqualified person under
ERISA includes, but is not limited to, a fiduciary or
employee of the plan, any person who provides services
to the plan, an employer whose employees are covered by
the plan, an employee association whose members are

covered by the plan, a person who owns 50 percent or
more of such an employer or employee association, or a
relative or spouse of such persons just listed.

ERISA 407(d)(6)(A)]. Deposit accounts (i.e. certificates
of deposit, checking or money market accounts) are not
qualifying employer securities.

Pension Benefits: Periodic (usually monthly) payments
made to a person, or beneficiary, who has retired from
employment.

Released Shares: Shares that have been released from
suspense and from serving as collateral for ESOP debt as
a result of payment of debt service. These shares are
required to be allocated to participant accounts by the end
of the ESOP’s fiscal year. Formulas used to determine the
number of shares to be released can be based either on
(1) the ratio of the current principal amount to the total
original principal amount (in which case the unearned
compensation and debt balance move in tandem) or
(2) the ratio of the current principal plus interest amount
to the total original principal plus interest to be paid.
Shares are released more rapidly under the second
method. The tax law permits the first method only if the
ESOP debt meets certain criteria.

Prohibited Transaction: A transaction between the plan
and a party-in-interest under ERISA (or a disqualified
person under the Internal Revenue Code) that is prohibited under either section 406(a) of ERISA or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, and for which
there is no statutory, class or other exemption. Examples
of a prohibited transaction include any direct or indirect:
(1) sale or exchange, or lease, of any property between
the plan and a party-in-interest;
(2) lending of money, or other extension of credit
between the plan and a party-in-interest;
(3) furnishing of goods, services, or facilities between
the plan and a party-in-interest;
(4) transfer to, or use by or for the benefit of, a party-ininterest of any income or assets of the plan;
(5) dealing with the assets of the plan for a fiduciary’s
own interest or own account;
(6) acting in a fiduciary’s individual or any other capacity in any transaction involving the plan on behalf
of a party whose interests are adverse to the interests
of the plan or the interests of its participants or
beneficiaries;

Shares Committed to be Released: Shares not legally
released but that will be released by a future scheduled
and committed debt service payment and will be allocated to employees for service rendered in the current
accounting period. The period of employee service to
which shares relate is generally defined in the ESOP
documents.
Stock Bonus Plan: A stock bonus plan is a defined
contribution plan under which distributions are normally
made in the stock of the employer unless the distributee
elects otherwise.

(7) receipt of any consideration for his or her own
personal account by a party-in-interest who is a
fiduciary from any party dealing with the plan in
connection with a transaction involving the income
or assets of the plan.

Suspense Shares: Shares used to collateralize the ESOP’s
debt that have not been released or allocated to participant accounts, and that have been recorded as a contraequity account. For the purposes of filing the FR Y-9ES,
allocated and unallocated (suspense) shares are aggregated (i.e. not reported separately) on both the Statement
of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits and on
the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Qualifying Employer Securities: Common stock issued
by the employer and non-callable preferred stock if it is
convertible at any time into common stock [IRC 409(l),

Sponsoring Employer: The employer who has formally
adopted the employee benefit plan as defined in the plan
document.
