EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 401(k) Plan The Management Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which is qualified under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Code to cover employees of the Management Company. All employees who have attained the age of 21 and have completed at least 60 days of service are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan provides for employer matching contributions on behalf of each participant equal to 50% of the portion of such participant’s contribution that does not exceed 2.5% of such participant’s annual gross salary for the plan year. Additionally, the Management Company has the discretion to make additional profit-sharing-type contributions not related to participant elective contributions. Total contributions by the Management Company were $1,003, $1,034 and $987 in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company maintains an employee stock purchase plan that allows eligible employees to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market without incurring brokerage or transaction fees. Under the plan, eligible employees make payroll deductions that are used to purchase shares of CBL’s common stock. The shares are purchased at the prevailing market price of the stock at the time of purchase. |
