 Plan and the SRIP are based on levels of compensation and years of credited service. Benefits under the SRIP, however, are not limited by Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415(b). Code Section 401(a)(17) limits the annual amount of compensation that may be taken into account when calculating benefits under the Retirement Plan. For 2024, this limit was $345,000. Code Section 415(b) limits the annual benefit amount that a participant may receive under the Retirement Plan. For 2024, this amount was $275,000. The benefit formula under the Retirement Plan was previously revised for benefits earned beginning on January 1, 2010.

The benefit earned in the Retirement Plan prior to January 1, 2010 is based on compensation earned in the five consecutive highest years of service.

Compensation consists of base salary and 50% of overtime, bonuses, incentives, and commissions paid pursuant to plans with a measurement period of one year or less. Bonuses are taken into account in the year paid rather than earned. A participant who is at least 55 years of age with at least 10 years of service may retire and receive an early retirement benefit, reduced to reflect the fact that they will be receiving payments over a longer period of time. Messrs. Kleinman and Steinour are retirement eligible. The years of credited service have been capped for participants to the actual years of service with us through December 31, 2013, the date the plans were frozen. The maximum years of credited service recognized by the Retirement Plan and the SRIP is 40. Benefit figures shown are computed on the assumption that participants retire at age 65, the normal retirement age specified in the plans. The normal form of benefit under the
