Savings Plan
The Savings Plan provides you a tax-favored way to save for the long term because it contains a 401(k) feature and permits the deferral of taxes on earnings. As you contribute to the Savings Plan, the Company also contrib- utes, thus providing a valuable financial benefit that is also tax-deferred.
As a regular employee, you are eligible to participate in the Savings Plan immediately upon employment.
If you contribute 6 to 20 percent of your pay, you will receive a company match of 7 percent of your pay. Federal law and plan rules limit the total amount you and the company may contribute each year to your Savings Plan account.
In addition, if you have an account in an eligible plan of a former employer, you may be eligible to roll over a distribution from that account to the Savings Plan.
Investment Options You may invest the assets in your Savings Plan account in one or a combination of the following investment options:
• Common Assets. The Common Assets fund is a short- to medium-term fixed income fund invested in high quality fixed income securities. The fund is invested primarily in U.S. government issued Series 1 (inflation adjusted) and Series EE (fixed rate) Savings Bonds. Other holdings include U.S. government agency securities, corporate/bank securities, and other high quality obligations.
• Equity Units. Equity Units represent an interest in a fund managed to closely approximate the total rate of return and characteristics of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. This index is composed of 500 mostly large-capitalization stocks weighted by market value.
• Extended Market Units. Extended Market Units represent an interest in an index fund managed to closely approximate the total rate of return of the Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index. This index is composed of approximately 3000 U.S. stocks not included in the S&P 500, weighted by market value.
• International Equity Units. International Equity Units represent an interest in an index fund that invests in approximately 3500 equity securities in 23 developed countries outside North America.
• Bond Units. Bond Units represent an interest in an index fund based on a broad range of publicly traded, investment grade U.S. bonds.
