EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Retirement Plan
We have a 401(k) savings plan covering substantially all of our employees in the United States. Our contributions to the plan are discretionary. During 2024, 2023, and 2022, we made matching contributions of $34 million, $36 million, and $30 million, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plan
The Illumina, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) allows senior level employees to contribute up to 60% of their base salary and 100% of their variable cash compensation, and members of the board of directors to contribute up to 100% of their director fees and equity awards. Under the Plan, we credit the participants’ contributions with earnings that reflect the performance of certain independent investment funds. On a discretionary basis, we may also make employer contributions to participant accounts in any amount determined by us. The vesting schedules of employer contributions are at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. However, all employer contributions shall become 100% vested upon the occurrence of the participant’s disability, death or retirement or a change in control of Illumina. The benefits under this plan are unsecured. Participants are generally eligible to receive payment of their vested benefit at the end of their elected deferral period or after termination of their employment for any reason or at a later date to comply with the restrictions of Section 409A.
We established a rabbi trust for the benefit of the participants under the Plan and have included the assets of the rabbi trust in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets of the trust were $70 million and $61 million, respectively, and our liabilities, included in accrued liabilities, were $65 million and $59 million, respectively. Changes in the values of the assets held by the trust are recorded in other expense, net, and changes in the values of the deferred compensation liabilities are recorded in operating expense.
