16. Employee Benefits and Deferred Compensation

Employee 401(k) Plan

We have established a 401(k) tax-deferred savings plan. Employees meeting the eligibility requirements, as defined, may contribute specified percentages of their salaries, but not more than the statutory limits. We match 100% of the first $1,000 of employee contributions, then 50% for additional contributions, up to a maximum match of $3,000 per employee. The matched contributions vest over 3 years. The amounts we contributed to this plan, net of forfeitures, were as follows (in millions):

Deferred Compensation Plan

We have a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that allows a group of employees within the United States to contribute base salary and commissions or incentive compensation on a tax deferred basis in excess of the IRS limits imposed on 401(k) plans. The marketable securities related to these investments that are held in a rabbi trust under the non-qualified deferred compensation plan and the related deferred compensation plan liabilities under this plan were as follows (in millions):

Postretirement Health Care Plan

We maintain a plan to provide postretirement health and welfare benefits to certain executives who meet certain age and service requirements. Coverage continues through the duration of the lifetime of the retiree or the retiree’s spouse, whichever is longer. There is no funding requirement associated with the plan and none of the benefit obligation was funded as of April 25, 2014. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plan.

International Defined Benefit Plans

We maintain various defined benefit plans to provide termination and postretirement benefits to certain eligible employees outside of the United States. We also provide disability benefits to certain eligible employees in the United States. Eligibility is determined based on the terms of our plans and local statutory requirements. Assumed discount rates and expected long-term returns on plan assets have significant effects on the amounts reported for the defined benefit plans.
