(e) On June 18, 2018, Kingstone Companies, Inc. (the "Company") adopted the Kingstone Companies, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan").  The Plan is effective as of June 18, 2018.  The Plan is a deferred compensation plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees and certain independent contractors.
Pursuant to the Plan, and subject to applicable tax laws, eligible participants generally may elect to defer up to 75% of their base compensation and up to 100% of bonuses, commissions and other compensation.  In addition to elective deferrals, the Plan permits the Company to make discretionary (including matching) contributions to eligible participants.  Participants may elect to receive payment of their vested account balances in a single cash payment or in annual installments for a period of up to ten years.  A participant's account will become 100% vested if, while employed by the Company, he or she dies or becomes disabled or there is a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) of the Company.
The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.
