Exhibit 10.21

 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
GEORGIA PRIMARY BANK
2017 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

 

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT is made as of April 1, 2021, by Primary Bancshares, Inc., a bank holding company organized under the laws of the State of Georgia (the “Company”).

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) between the Georgia Primary Bank (the “Bank”) and the Company by which all issued and outstanding shares of the Bank’s common stock were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Exchange”) and by which the Bank is now wholly-owned by the Company, a bank holding company (the “Reorganization”), the Company has assumed sponsorship of the Georgia Primary Bank 2017 Long–Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); and

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Reorganization and the Share Exchange, the Company wishes to amend the Plan to reflect the change in Plan sponsorship, to reflect that shares of common stock of the Company have been substituted for shares of common stock of the Bank, and to make other conforming changes to the Plan resulting from the consequences of the Reorganization and Share Exchange;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Plan is hereby amended, effective immediately following the effective date of the Reorganization, as follows:

 

1.             By deleting the phrase “Georgia Primary Bank 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan” each time it appears in the Plan and substituting therefor the phrase “Primary Bancshares, Inc. 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan.”

3.              By deleting existing Section 1.1(u) in its entirety and by substituting therefor the following:

(a)          Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.2, Two Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Three Hundred Fifty-Three (237,353) shares of Stock (the ‘Maximum Plan Shares’) are hereby reserved exclusively for issuance upon exercise or payment pursuant to Awards, all or any of which may be Incentive Stock Options, such number including shares of the common stock of Georgia Primary Bank, if any, issued pursuant to Awards prior to the adoption of the Plan by Primary Bancshares, Inc.

 

(b)          Shares of Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Plan with respect to any portion of an Award that is settled in cash. The shares of Stock attributable to the nonvested, unpaid, unexercised, unconverted, or otherwise unsettled portion of any Award that is forfeited or cancelled or expires or terminates for any reason without becoming vested, paid, exercised, converted, or otherwise settled in full in Stock will again be available for purposes of the Plan. For purposes of determining the number of shares of Stock issued upon the exercise, settlement, or grant of an Award under this Section, any shares of Stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations or the Exercise Price shall be considered issued under the Plan.”

 

6.              By deleting the last sentence of the head language of Section 3.2 in its entirety.

Whenever the Company proposes or is required to issue or transfer shares of Stock under the Plan or upon the vesting of any Award, the Company has the right to require the recipient to remit to the Company or appropriate Affiliate an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such shares or the vesting of such Award. A Participant may satisfy the withholding obligation in cash, cash equivalents, in kind or, if and to the extent the applicable Award Agreement, Award Program, or Committee procedure so provides, a Participant may elect to have the number of shares of Stock the Participant is to receive reduced by, or tender back to the Company, the smallest number of whole shares of Stock which, when multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock, is sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local, if any, withholding obligations arising from the settlement or vesting of an Award.”
