Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Plan Participants and Plan Administrator
NBT Bancorp Inc. 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of NBT Bancorp Inc. 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net
assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Accompanying Supplemental Information
The Schedule H, line 4i - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2023 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The
supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as
applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information,
including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

NBT BANCORP INC.
401(k) AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
December 31, 2023 and 2022
|
1.
|
Description of Plan
|
The following description of the NBT Bancorp Inc. 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“the Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Agreement or Summary Plan Description for
a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan as defined under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), sponsored by NBT Bancorp Inc. (“the Sponsor”, “the Plan Administrator” or “the Company”). The Sponsor is
responsible for administration of the Plan. NBT Bank, N.A, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NBT Bancorp Inc. NBT Bank, N.A. is the trustee of the Plan (“the Trustee”) and Charles Schwab Bank is the Custodian of the Plan. EPIC Retirement Plan Services,
a wholly‑owned subsidiary of NBT Financial Services, Inc., a wholly‑owned subsidiary of the Sponsor, is the Plan’s record keeper. The assets of the Plan are held, administered and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Trust
Agreement, which is considered to be an integral part of the Plan.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
The Plan was amended and restated, in its entirety, effective as of January 1, 2021, to operate under an IRS pre-approved plan document, as administered by EPIC Retirement Plan Services.
The Plan was amended and restated, in its entirety, effective as of April 1, 2022, to include predecessor service for Cleveland Hauswirth Investment Management and HA Rogers, and to include NBT Capital Management Inc.
as a participating employer. NBT Capital Management Inc. became a participating employer on April 1, 2022.
The Plan was amended and restated, effective as of July 1, 2023 to include employees of Retirement Direct, LLC effective July 1, 2023 and employees of Salisbury Bank and Trust Company effective August 12, 2023.
Eligibility
All employees who are age 21 or over and scheduled to complete 1,000 hours of service or have completed 1,000 hours of service are eligible to participate in the Plan. Eligible employees are required to complete 30
days of employment prior to entry into the Plan. A deemed election becomes effective as of the first day of the month the eligible employee becomes a participant and is eligible to make a deferral election to the Plan.
Contributions and Deferrals
Participants may make pre‑tax and post-tax contributions in whole percentages or may elect a flat dollar contribution up to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limitations for any plan year. The post-tax contributions are
deferrals to Roth accounts.
The Plan includes provisions for automatic elective contributions under which any employee that meets certain eligibility requirements will be automatically enrolled in the Plan and will automatically have 6% withheld
from his or her compensation and contributed to the Plan. The employee will have to elect to opt out of the qualified automatic contribution election.
The Company’s matching contribution is 100% of each participant’s contribution up to 1% of compensation plus 50% of the next 5% of compensation for a total matching contribution of up to 3.5% of compensation. The
Company match amounted to $4,847,726 and $4,308,783 in 2023 and 2022, respectively. A discretionary amount, determined by the Sponsor’s Board of Directors, may be contributed to the Plan each year. To share in this discretionary contribution,
participants must be actively employed on the last day of the year, have completed 1,000 hours of service and have contributed a minimum percentage of compensation during the year as determined annually by the Company. The amount is allocated to
participants on a pro-rata basis, based on compensation. No discretionary contributions were made for 2023. During 2022, discretionary contributions of $1,187,294 were approved by the Sponsor’s board of directors and were paid during 2023. These
discretionary contributions are included in contributions receivable from employer in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
4
In addition, as defined in the Plan document, employees participating in the Plan under the Worker Retirement Accumulation Plan (“WRAP”) design can receive an additional discretionary Company contribution equal to the
interest credit on service credits earned under the WRAP design. The Company contribution for employees participating in the WRAP amounted to $464,182 in 2023, which was paid during 2024, and $318,883 in 2022, which was paid during 2023. These
discretionary contributions are included in contributions receivable from employer in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Participant Accounts
Participants elect to have their contributions invested among the various funds available to the Plan, including NBT Bancorp Inc. common stock. Each participant’s account is credited with the Sponsor’s and
participant’s contributions, plan earnings and income, expenses, gains and losses attributable thereto.
Vesting
Participants’ contributions and net investment income or loss thereon are 100% vested. The participants’ vesting in Safe Harbor employer matching contributions are 100% vested upon completion of two years of service.
Employer discretionary contributions are vested after five years of service. Participants are considered 100% vested upon termination due to death, retirement or permanent disability.
Rollovers and Transfers from Other Qualifying Plans
Participants may make rollover contributions to the Plan through a distribution from a former employer’s qualified retirement plan in accordance with the IRC.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow from their account in amounts ranging from $1,000 to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the vested 401(k) account balance excluding Company contributions invested in NBT Bancorp Inc. common stock
and employer contributions made subsequent to January 1, 1997. Loans, other than loans for the purchase of a primary residence, must be repaid over a period no longer than five years. Loans for the purchase of a primary residence must be repaid over
a period no longer than 15 years. Interest is charged at the prime rate plus 1% as of the loan origination date. Participant loans are treated as a transfer from the participant directed accounts into the loan fund. Principal and interest payments on
the loans are allocated to the loan fund and transferred into the participant directed accounts based on the participants’ current investment allocation elections.
Payment of Benefits
Upon normal or early retirement, disability, death or termination of employment, the value of a participant’s account is paid as requested by the participant. If the value of the vested balance does not exceed $5,000,
then the distribution will be made in a single lump sum payment regardless if the participant requests to receive it. Early retirement is allowed upon reaching age 55 and completion of least 5 years of service.
Withdrawals
Subject to certain limitations prescribed by the Plan and the IRC, terminated participants may elect retirement or other termination withdrawals in either lump sum or partial payments.
Forfeitures
Forfeitures are applied to reduce the amount of future employer contributions otherwise required to be paid. In 2023 and 2022, forfeitures from non-vested accounts totaled $115,194 and $76,183, respectively, and
forfeitures used to reduce employer contributions were $79,369 and $87,867, respectively. Forfeiture account balances totaled $40,657 and $4,832 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
5
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Sponsor has the right to discontinue contributions or terminate the Plan at any time subject to Plan provisions and subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the
event of termination of the Plan, each participant’s account would become fully vested and the net assets of the Plan would be allocated as prescribed by ERISA and its related regulations.
Administrative Expenses
Expenses of operating and administering the Plan are generally paid by the Sponsor. The payment of these expenses is not mandated by the Plan and is done so at the discretion of the Sponsor. Loan fees are paid by the
borrower.
Voting Rights
With respect to participant account balances that are invested in shares of NBT Bancorp Inc. common stock, each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the shares allocated to his or her
account and is notified by the Trustee prior to the time that such rights are to be exercised.

|
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Basis of Presentation
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 (“GAAP”). Amounts in prior year’s
financial statements are reclassified, when necessary, to conform with current year’s presentation.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. The fair value of mutual funds and the common stock of the Sponsor are based on published market quotations. The fair value of the stable value fund is based on the
calculated daily net asset values of the fund.
Fair value is the price the Plan would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the
identical assets and liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical
transaction that occurs at the measurement date.
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the
following fair value hierarchy and a financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term
of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (e.g., supported by little or no market activity).
6
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. If a trade is open at the end of the year, a receivable for securities sold but not yet settled or a payable for securities purchased but not yet settled is
reflected in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. The net appreciation in the fair value of investments
consists of the realized gains or losses on the sales of investments and the net unrealized appreciation of investments.
Benefits Paid to Participants
Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivable from participants are carried at the unpaid principal balance plus interest.
Participant Withdrawals
Participant withdrawals are recorded when paid.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for plan benefits, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities, and the reported amount of increases and decreases in net assets available for plan benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various types of investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain
investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participant account balances and the amounts reported in the
Statements of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits.

The stable value fund consists of the Federated Capital Preservation Fund ("the Fund"), which primarily holds guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") and synthetic guaranteed investment contracts ("synthetic GICs").
GICs represent deposits which guarantee a stated interest rate for the term of the contracts. The crediting rate of security-backed contracts will track current market yields on a trailing basis. The rate reset allows the contract value to converge
with the fair value of the underlying portfolio over time, assuming the portfolio continues to earn the current yield for a period of time equal to the current portfolio duration. The fair value of GICs is determined based on the present value of the
contract's expected cash flows, discounted by current market interest rates for like duration and like quality investments. Synthetic GICs are portfolios of securities (debt securities or open end registered investment companies) owned by the Fund
with wrap contracts that guarantee a fixed or variable rate for the term of the contracts.
|
4.
|
Income Tax Status
|
The Plan operates under an IRS pre-approved plan document, as administered by EPIC Retirement Plan Services. The latest IRS favorable opinion letter on the pre-approved plan document is dated June 30, 2020. Although
the opinion letter is dated prior to the Plan’s amendment, the Plan Administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated, in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore,
believe that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon
examination by the IRS. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of
a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer
subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2020.

|
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. Any transactions with parties-in-interest
either fall outside the scope of, or are exempt from, ERISA’s prohibited transaction rules.
The Plan's record keeper, Trustee, and Custodian, as well as the Company and Plan participants, and KPMG LLP, the auditor of the Plan’s financial statements, are each a “party-in-interest" to the Plan as defined by
ERISA.
Purchases of Company stock amounted to $4,642,283 and $4,171,873 and sales amounted to $4,809,363 and $2,750,268 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the number
of shares of Company stock held in participants’ accounts totaled 807,459 and 841,346, respectively, with a fair value of $33,836,820 and $36,531,315, respectively.
Dividend income earned by the Plan includes dividend income from shares of NBT Bancorp Inc. common stock and amounted to $1,036,521 and $970,733 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
|
6.
|
Subsequent Events
|
The Plan has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of December 31, 2023 through the filing of this Form 11-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There were no events or transactions
discovered during this evaluation that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
