Employee Benefit Plans | Employee Benefit Plans (a) 401(k) Plan Federated offers defined contribution plans to its employees. Its 401(k) plan covers substantially all employees. Under the 401(k) plan, employees can make salary deferral contributions at a rate of 1% to 50% of their annual compensation (as defined in the 401(k) plan), subject to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limitations. Prior to January 1, 2018, Federated's matching contribution was 100% of the first 2% of compensation contributed by an employee and 50% of the next 4% for a total possible match of 4%, subject to IRC compensation limits. For 2018, Federated's matching contribution was 100% of the first 3% of compensation contributed by an employee and 50% of the next 3% for a total possible match of 4.5%, subject to IRC compensation limits. Effective January 1, 2019, Federated's matching contribution is 100% of the first 4% of compensation contributed by an employee and 50% of the next 2% for a total possible match of 5%, subject to IRC limitations. Forfeitures of unvested matching contributions are used to offset future matching contributions. Matching contributions to the 401(k) plan recognized in Compensation and Related expense amounted to $5.7 million, $5.0 million and $4.8 million for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Vesting in Federated's matching contributions commences once a participant in the 401(k) plan has worked at least 1,000 hours per year for two years. Upon completion of this initial service, 20% of Federated's contribution included in a participant's account vests and 20% vests for each of the following four years if the participant works at least 1,000 hours per year. Employees are immediately vested in their 401(k) salary deferral contributions. (b) Employee Stock Purchase Plan Federated offers an employee stock purchase plan that allows employees to purchase a maximum of 750,000 shares of Class B common stock. Employees may contribute up to 10% of their salary to purchase shares of Federated's Class B common stock on a quarterly basis at the market price. The shares purchased under this plan may be newly issued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased on the open market. During 2018, 8,706 shares were purchased by employees in this plan and, as of December 31, 2018, a total of 194,224 shares were purchased by employees in this plan on the open market since its inception in 1998.
