 of January 1, 2020, executive employees no longer receive ABRCs in the Plan. Effective April 1, 2024, employer contributions, including BRCs, are not available to interns.

Company retirement contributions are allocated to the Plan’s investment funds in the same manner as employee elections for investment of their own contributions. Participants are 50% vested in their account after two years of service and fully vested after three years of service, or if while active, they reach age 55, become permanently disabled, or die, or in the event of Plan termination.

Success Sharing Program

The Success Sharing Program is designed to enable the Company to share its financial success with participants. Under the Success Sharing Program, a Success Sharing Account (“SSA”) is established within the Plan for each eligible participant. If the Company determines that it has met or exceeded annual financial targets and, in its discretion, determines that an SSA allocation will be made for a given year, amounts are allocated to participant accounts according to a predetermined formula that is equal to a percentage of the eligible participant’s eligible earnings. This program is generally available to eligible participants (other than interns) who are still employed on the last day of the applicable year. Participants are at all times fully vested in the value of their SSA. SSA allocations can be funded in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof. To the extent an allocation is funded with shares of common stock, such allocation is initially credited to Fund D. Participants may, on a daily basis, immediately upon allocation to Fund D, diversify their SSA among any of the Plan’s investment funds, although participants cannot make transfers into Funds D and E. In 2025, the shares of common stock that were available to be allocated and credited to Fund D were exhausted, and remaining employer contributions were made in cash.
