RETIREMENT PLANS

RETIREMENT PLANS

We have two defined contribution retirement plans (the “Retirement Plans”). Qualified participants may make contributions under these Retirement Plans, which together with our contributions, can be up to 100% of their compensation, as defined, to a maximum of $52,000. Effective January 1, 2014, an employee is immediately eligible upon date of hire to become a participant in one of our Retirement Plans. Under the Retirement Plans, participant contributions of 1% to 5% are matched on a 2 to 1 basis. Our contributions vest 100% after three years of service with us, including any period of ineligibility mandated by the Retirement Plans. If a participant terminates employment before becoming fully vested, the unvested portion is credited to our account and can be used only to offset our future contribution requirements.

During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, forfeitures of $0.3 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, were used to reduce our cash contribution requirements. In fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, our actual cash contributions totaled approximately $9.8 million, $6.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, there were approximately $0.7 million of contribution forfeitures, which can be used to reduce our future cash contribution requirements.
