401(k) Plan

G.   401(K) PLAN:

The Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement plan that covers substantially all non-union employees. Historically, the Company matched up to 50% of the first 4% of salary contributed by employees to the plan. This matching contribution was made with common stock. Starting in 2004, the Company began to match, in cash, an additional 50% of the first 4% of salary contributed by employees plus 3% of total compensation for certain employees. Contributions made from treasury stock, including the Company's related cash dividends, totaled $1,218,000 in 2018, $1,194,000 in 2017, and $1,225,000 in 2016. In addition, the Company made cash contributions of $821,000 in 2018, $817,000 in 2017, and $924,000 in 2016 to the 401(k) Plan.  The Company also contributed $352,000, $369,000, and $358,000 to the 401(k) retirement plan covering its union employees at the Amron Division of the AMTEC subsidiary during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.
