13.          Employee Savings and Investment Plans


The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan which is available to substantially all of the Company’s employees. Landec’s Corporate Plan, which is available to all Landec employees (“Landec Plan”), allows participants to contribute from 1% to 50% of their salaries, up to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limitation into designated investment funds. The Company matches 67% on the first 6% contributed by an employee. Participants are at all times fully vested in their contributions. The Company's contribution vests annually over a four-year period at a rate of 25% per year. The Company retains the right, by action of the Board of Directors, to amend, modify, or terminate the plan. For fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company contributed $939,000, $789,000 and $720,000, respectively, to the Landec Plan.
