Notes to Financial Statements
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and
For the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
1. Description of Plan
The following description of the Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan Document and Summary Plan Description for more complete information, which are available from the Plan Administrator.
General
The Plan is an employee stock ownership plan covering substantially all employees of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (“CTBI”) and all participating subsidiaries, which include Community Trust Bank, Inc. and Community Trust and Investment Company (“CTIC”). All amounts contributed to the Plan are held by the trustee, CTIC. The Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Eligibility
An employee becomes eligible to participate in the Plan on the entry date following the attainment of age twenty-one and completion of twelve consecutive months of employment in which the employee has at least 1,000 hours service.
Contributions
Each year CTBI shall make a discretionary contribution to the Plan in an amount not less than 3% of the compensation, as defined, of each participant. The discretionary contributions are non-participant directed and invested directly in CTBI stock. During 2013 and 2012, the contribution percentage was 4%.
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with employer discretionary contributions. Earnings or losses on the investments are allocated in proportion to the participant’s interest therein.
Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the shares of CTBI common stock allocated to the participant’s account and is notified by the Retirement and Employee Benefits Committee prior to the time that such rights are to be exercised. The Retirement and Employee Benefits Committee is not permitted to vote any share for a participant. The trustee votes shares for which a participant has given no instructions.
Participant Investment Account Options
The Plan provides for the establishment of various investment funds including CTBI common stock. Employer discretionary contributions are automatically invested in CTBI common stock. Once a participant attains the age of 55 and has completed ten years of participation in the Plan, the participant may allocate a portion of their Plan balance to other investments within 90 days after the close of each Plan year. These elections may be made for six consecutive years.
Vesting
Vesting of an employee’s interest is 100% in cases of normal retirement at age sixty-five, death or total disability. If a participant’s employment ceases for any other reason, the full value of his account is payable to him if he has completed at least 1,000 hours or more of vesting service for three plan years. Forfeited employer contributions are allocated to the accounts of participants based upon compensation.
Payment of Benefits
Distribution of funds as a result of retirement or termination from employment may be made either in a lump sum payment (including CTBI common stock if elected) or payments in cash and/or CTBI common stock made in equal annual installments over a period equal to five years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the vested interest in the ESOP Stock Fund of the Plan exceeds $1,035,000 (as adjusted per Code Section 409(o)), the distribution period may be extended by one year for each $205,000 (as adjusted per Code) or portion thereof that the ESOP Stock Fund exceeds $1,035,000, up to a maximum of five additional years.
Forfeited Accounts
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $19,181 and $22,557, respectively. These accounts will be used to reallocate to participants in the same manner as employer contributions.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition
Investments in securities traded on a national exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the period. Mutual funds are valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the plan at year end. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Purchases and sales of securities are recognized on the trade date basis.
Market Risks and Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Plan invests in various mutual funds and CTBI common stock. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rates, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan’s Sponsor as provided in the Plan document.
Payment of Benefits
Distributions to participants are recorded by the Plan when payments are made.
3. Investments

5. Federal Income Tax Status
The Plan received a Letter of Determination from the Internal Revenue Service on July 17, 2013, stating the Plan and related trust are in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore, not subject to tax. The Plan and related trust are currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.
6. Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, CTBI has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination, participants will become fully vested in their accounts.
7. Exempt Party-In-Interest Transactions
Parties-in-interest are defined under Department of Labor regulations as any fiduciary of the Plan, any party rendering service to the Plan, the employer, and certain others. All amounts contributed to the Plan are held by the trustee, CTIC. Professional fees for the administration and audit of the Plan, investment of assets, and trustee services are paid by CTBI.
The Plan held the following party-in-interest investments (at fair value) at December 31:

8. Terminated Participants
Included in net assets available for benefits are amounts allocated to individuals who have withdrawn from the Plan. Amounts allocated to these participants were approximately $12,834 and $6,737 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
9. Fair Value of Plan Assets
ASC Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurements
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In this standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Plan had no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Plan had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in inactive markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Investments
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. common stock, mutual funds, and money market funds.
The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the ASC Topic 820, fair value hierarchy, in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
