5 Del. C. § 931

(a) Savings banks and savings societies, subject to the laws of this State, may, in the discretion of a majority of all the managers or governing board, retire any officer, clerk or other employee, who has served the savings bank or savings society for a period of 30 years or more, or who has served the savings bank or savings society for a period of 10 years or more and shall have become incapacitated, or who has served the savings bank or savings society for a period of 20 years or more and has attained the age of 60 years. Any person retired from service pursuant to this section may be paid an annual pension, in equal monthly installments. The maximum pension paid shall in no case exceed 60% of the average annual salary for the 3 years preceding retirement. The discretion of the managers or governing board as to the time of payments, the amount of payments, and the duration of payments, within the maximum amounts allowed under this section, shall at all times be absolute and final.

(b) For the purpose of establishing and maintaining a pension plan or a plan for carrying life insurance or providing other after death benefits for any of its officers, clerks or employees, or their estates or beneficiaries, or a plan combining these types of benefits, any such savings bank or savings society may, in the discretion of a majority of its board of managers or governing board, segregate or allocate funds from its income or other assets and pay the same into a trust fund. Any such institution establishing such trust fund may itself act as trustee or may have an independent trustee. Even though the ultimate benefits of the plan are paid out of such trust fund, or even though premiums for the coverage are paid out of such trust fund, rather than directly out of the savings institution’s operating funds, unless the terms of the said trust are approved by the State Bank Commissioner as provided in this section, the limitations of years and percentage specified in the preceding paragraph shall remain applicable, and the only benefits payable shall be such as are authorized by the said paragraph. If the State Bank Commissioner shall determine that the said plan is not injurious to the institution or the security of its deposits, then such benefits as may be provided by said plan may be paid to officers, clerks or employees, or their estates or beneficiaries, in accordance with the terms of the plan, even though these terms may not be within the limitations of the preceding paragraph. If the plan has once been approved but is thereafter amended, the amendment shall be approved before any benefits are paid out under the amended plan.
