Retirement Plans

The Company maintains a qualified 401(k) profit‑sharing plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of substantially all U.S.‑based full‑time colleagues. The Company may make discretionary profit‑sharing contributions to the Plan up to a maximum of 5% of “qualified cash compensation” for each eligible participating colleague. Non‑discretionary (matching) 401(k) contributions to the Plan, for full‑time U.S. colleagues, were $2,600 and $2,423, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company also maintains various retirement benefit plans (primarily defined contribution plans) for colleagues of its international subsidiaries. Contributions to these plans were $5,566 and $5,956, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company also has a nonqualified DCP, which was amended and restated effective September 22, 2020, under which certain officers and key colleagues may defer all or any part of their incentive compensation, and the Company may make discretionary awards on behalf of such participants. Elective participant deferrals and discretionary Company awards are required to be in the form of phantom shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, which are valued for tax and accounting purposes in the same manner as actual shares of Class B Common Stock. The Company’s discretionary awards made prior to January 1, 2016 vest 20% on the date of grant and 20% on each of the four subsequent anniversary dates. The Company’s discretionary awards made on or after January 1, 2016 are 100% vested at the time of grant. No discretionary contributions were made to the DCP during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the DCP, in connection with the Special Dividend (see Note 13) declared on August 28, 2020, participants received phantom shares valued at $41,948 in lieu of the Special Dividend.

Amounts in the DCP attributable to certain non‑colleague participants are settled in cash and are classified as liabilities which are marked to market at the end of each reporting period. The total liability related to the DCP for non‑colleague participants was $2,300 and $2,544 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
