Employee Benefit Plans [Abstract] |
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 401(k) Plan We maintain profit-sharing and 401(k) plans for employees meeting certain service requirements. Generally, the plans allow eligible employees to contribute a portion of their compensation, and we match $1.00 for every $1.00 on the first 1% of the employee’s pre-tax contributions and $0.50 for every $1.00 up to the next 5% of the employee’s pre-tax contributions. We may also make discretionary contributions each year for the benefit of all eligible employees under the plans. Effective September 7, 2009, we suspended the employer match contributions to the 401(k) plan. On January 1, 2011, we reinstated the matching contribution to the 401(k) plan. Total profit sharing and Agilysys matching contributions were $1.7 million, $0.4 million, and $0.9 million in fiscal 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. Benefit Equalization Plan (“BEP”) Previously, Agilysys provided the BEP for certain covered employees. The BEP was a non-qualified defined contribution plan, which provides for employee deferrals and employer retirement deferrals so that the total retirement deferrals equal amounts that would have been contributed to our 401(k) plan if it were not for limitations imposed by income tax regulations. The benefit obligation related to the BEP was $2.7 million and $5.6 million, at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We suspended matching contributions to the BEP effective September 7, 2009 and reinstated those matching contributions effective January 1, 2011. However, since the matching contribution to the BEP only applies once participants have met the 401(k) plan contribution limit and no participant reached that limit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, no employer matching contributions were made to the BEP during fiscal 2011. Contribution expense for the BEP was $0.3 million in fiscal 2010. On March 31, 2011, we terminated the BEP. Due to limitations imposed by income tax regulations, account balances were distributed to remaining participants in April 2012. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) Previously, Agilysys provided the SERP for certain former officers of Agilysys. The SERP was a non-qualified defined benefit pension plan designed to provide retirement benefits for the plan participants. The projected benefit obligation recognized by Agilysys related to the SERP was $3.3 million and $5.7 million, at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation related to the SERP was $3.3 million and $5.7 million, at March 31, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The annual expense for the SERP was $0.1 million, $0.5 million, and $0.7 million, in fiscal 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. On March 25, 2011, we terminated the SERP. As a result of the termination, the SERP incurred a non-cash curtailment charge of $37,000, which is included within “General, and administrative” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, the plan incurred a curtailment gain of $1.2 million, which reduced the projected benefit obligation to an amount equal to the accumulated benefit obligation at March 31, 2011. Of the $1.2 million curtailment gain, $0.8 million was due to the reduction in service for a current officer of Agilysys and $0.4 million was due to the change in the discount rate from the Moody’s Aa long-term corporate bond yield as shown in the table above to the applicable IRS interest rate of 2.16% for plan termination liabilities. The significant assumptions used to determine the projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and the annual expense for the SERP as of the March 31st measurement date are presented below:
|  | Year ended March 31, |
|  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
Discount rate |  |  | 4.22% |  |  |  | 5.30% |  |  |  | 5.62% |
Rate of annual compensation increases |  |  | 3.00% |  |  |  | 3.00% |  |  |  | 3.00% |
The discount rate represents the Moody’s Aa long-term corporate bond yield as of the our fiscal year-end, which management believes reflects a rate of return on high-quality fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the SERP obligations. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the discount rate and rate of annual compensation increases in the table above were used to value the projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and the annual expense prior to considering the effect of the plan curtailment discussed above. A former officer of Agilysys who was part of the restructuring actions taken in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 (discussed below) was eligible for early retirement and elected to receive his benefit of approximately $2.5 million in the form of a lump sum distribution in December 2011. Due to limitations imposed by income tax regulations, the remaining SERP obligations of $3.2 million, along with the additional service credit obligation related to the SERP of $0.1 million, was distributed to participants in April 2012. Certain participants in the SERP were eligible for early retirement under the terms of the SERP and elected to receive lump sum distributions from the plan and the additional service credits liability. In fiscal 2010, we funded the payments by taking loans totaling $12.5 million against the cash surrender value of the corporate-owned life insurance policies that informally fund the SERP. We had no obligation to repay these loans and did not repay them. We did not incur curtailment charges related to the SERP in fiscal 2010. However, in fiscal 2010, we incurred non-cash settlement charges of $0.8 million pertaining to the payment of SERP benefits to the two former officers who elected lump sum distributions. These non-cash settlement charges are included within “Restructuring charges” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Another former officer received a lump sum distribution in fiscal 2011 and we funded this payment with certain death benefit proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies. Accordingly, we classified approximately $2.5 million of the SERP liability within current “Accrued liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2010. Additional information related to the classification of the current and long-term portion of the SERP and additional service credits liabilities is presented in Note 9. In conjunction with this distribution, we incurred non-cash settlement charges of $0.4 million, which are included within “Restructuring charges” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In conjunction with the BEP and SERP obligations, Agilysys invested in corporate-owned life insurance policies primarily to satisfy future obligations of these plans. These corporate-owned life insurance policies were held in a Rabbi Trust and were classified within “Other current assets” and “Other non-current assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investment in corporate-owned life insurance policies was recorded at the cash surrender value, which approximates fair value, at the balance sheet date. The aggregate cash surrender value of these life insurance policies was $12.8 million (net of the policy loans totaling $12.5 million described above) at March 31, 2010. In fiscal 2011, we surrendered the company-owned life insurance policies held within the Rabbi Trust, receiving proceeds of $13.7 million, which was equal to their net cash surrender value on the surrender date. These proceeds were re-invested in marketable equity securities, which were also held within the Rabbi Trust and are intended to satisfy the future obligations of the BEP and SERP. Also in fiscal 2011, we recorded $2.2 million in proceeds as a death benefit from the corporate-owned life insurance policies and recognized a gain of $2.1 million, which is classified within “Other (income) expenses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. At March 31, 2012 and 2011, the marketable securities held in the Rabbi trust had a fair value of $4.4 million and $13.7 million, respectively. Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agilysys provides certain former executives with life insurance benefits through endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. We entered into a separate agreement with each of the former executives covered by these arrangements whereby we must maintain the life insurance policy for the specified amount and split a portion of the policy benefits with the former executive’s designated beneficiary. In fiscal 2012, we received $0.3 million for the redemption of several of the corporate-owned life insurance policies. At March 31, 2010, we recognized a charge of $0.3 million related to these benefit obligations based on estimates developed by management by evaluating actuarial information and including assumptions with respect to discount rates and mortality. The expense associated with these benefits was classified within “General, and administrative” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The related liability, which was $0.2 million and $0.3 million at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was recorded within “Other non-current liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate cash surrender value of the underlying corporate-owned split-dollar life insurance contracts, which were classified within “Other non-current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $3.5 million (net of policy loans of $0.2 million) and $3.3 million (net of policy loans of $0.2 million) at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Changes in the cash surrender value of these policies related to gains and losses incurred on these investments are classified within “Other (income) expenses, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. We recorded a gain of $0.4 million in fiscal 2012, a loss of $0.2 million in fiscal 2011 and a gain of $0.8 million in fiscal 2010 related to the corporate-owned life insurance policies.
