EMPLOYEE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN
NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

We sponsor the Rogers Employee Savings and Investment Plan (RESIP), a 401(k) plan for domestic employees.  Employees can defer an amount they choose, up to the yearly IRS limit, which is $16,500 in 2011 and 2010. Certain eligible participants are also allowed to contribute the maximum catch-up contribution per IRS regulations.  Our matching contribution is 6% of an eligible employee’s annual pre-tax contribution at a rate of 100% for the first 1% and 50% for the next 5% for a total match of 3.5%.  Unless otherwise indicated by the participant, the matching dollars are invested in the same funds as the participant’s contributions. RESIP related expense amounted to $1.7 million in 2011, $1.5 million in 2010 and $1.5 million in 2009, which related solely to our matching contributions.
