11. Defined Benefit Plans

 

The Company sponsors funded and unfunded non-contributing defined benefit pension plans that together cover substantially all of its U.S. employees. Benefits are based primarily on years of service and employees’ compensation. The funding policy of the Company for these plans is to contribute an annual amount that does not exceed the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes.  On October 31, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors voted to cease accruals effective December 31, 2011 under both the Company’s Pension Plan and Supplemental Employees Retirement Plan.
