Employees who are not eligible for future accruals under the Qualified Plan receive an additional matching contribution under the Century Aluminum 401(k) Plan equal to 100% of such employee’s contributions up to 6% of eligible compensation and a discretionary non-elective contribution of either 3% or 6% of eligible compensation based on the employee’s hire date. Employees of the Company who were aged 50 or older as of January 1, 2015, continued to be eligible for accruals under the Qualified Plan and are not eligible for the higher matching contribution rate under the Century Aluminum 401(k) Plan.
