CONTRIBUTING EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP PLAN
CONTRIBUTING EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP PLAN

The Contributing Employee Ownership Plan (CEOP) is a defined contribution plan available to essentially all domestic employees.  We provide a contribution to an individual retirement contribution account maintained with the CEOP equal to an amount of between 5% and 10% of the employee’s eligible compensation.  The defined contribution plan expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $7.0 million and $7.1 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $22.4 million and $20.5 million, respectively.

Company matching contributions are invested in the same investment allocation as the employee’s contribution.  Our matching contributions for eligible employees for both the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $3.0 million and for both the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $8.7 million.
