On February 22, 2021, Greene County Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), the holding company of The Bank of Greene County (the “Bank”), adopted The Bank of Greene County Death Benefit Only Plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of certain executive officers of the Bank (the “Participants”). The Plan is effective as of February 1, 2021.

The Plan provides a Participant’s beneficiary with a death benefit of $50,000 if the Participant dies prior to his or her termination of employment with the Bank. No benefit will be paid if the Participant dies after his or her termination of employment with the Bank. The death benefit will be paid in a lump sum within sixty (60) days following a Participant’s death solely from the Bank’s general assets. Participation in the Plan is conditioned upon the Bank being eligible to obtain a bank-owned life insurance policy on the executive’s life at standard rates, and an executive’s completion of a beneficiary designation form and election form.

The foregoing description of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Plan that is included as Exhibit 10.1 of this Current Report and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
