Nonqualified Investment Plan

K.  NONQUALIFIED INVESTMENT PLAN

 

The purpose of the Executive Nonqualified Excess Plan is to provide retirement benefits similar to the Company’s Investment/Profit Sharing Plan to certain of the Company’s management employees who are otherwise subject to limited participation in the 401(k) feature of the Company’s Investment/Profit Sharing Plan.  Participant retirement account balances are liabilities of the Company.  Assets of the plan are assets of the Company and are held in trust for employees and distributed upon retirement, death, disability, in-service distributions, or other termination of employment.  In accordance with the trust, the Company may not use these assets for general corporate purposes.  During the six months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, the Company invested a portion of the proceeds of liquidated life insurance policy assets in marketable securities.  These marketable securities will be liquidated and invested in other life insurance policies in future periods.  Life insurance policies and marketable securities held in the trust are included in the caption “Other assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
