Lakes has a qualified defined contribution employee savings plan for all full-time employees. The savings plan allows eligible participants to defer, on a pre-tax basis, a portion of their salary and accumulate tax-deferred earnings as a retirement fund. Lakes currently matches employee contributions up to a maximum of 4% of participating employees’ gross wages. The Company contributed approximately $0.2 million during fiscal 2014 and $0.1 million during each of fiscal 2013 and 2012. Company contributions are vested immediately.
