Retirement Benefit Plans | Retirement Benefit Plans: The Company has a defined contribution benefit plan, the Tractor Supply Company 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”), which provides retirement benefits for eligible employees. The Company matches (in cash) 100% of the employee’s elective contributions up to 3% of eligible compensation plus 50% of the employee’s elective contributions from 3% to 6% of eligible compensation. In no event shall the total Company match made on behalf of the employee exceed 4.5% of the employee’s eligible compensation. All current contributions are immediately vested. Company contributions to the Plan during fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, were approximately $4.9 million, $4.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The Company offers, through a deferred compensation program, the opportunity for certain qualifying employees to elect to defer a portion of their annual base salary and/or their annual incentive bonus.

The Company’s contributions, including accrued interest, were $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million in each of the fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
