Employee Stock Ownership and 401(k) Plans

We have established the American Capital Strategies, Ltd. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) as an “employee stock ownership plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code, and the American Capital Strategies, Ltd. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) with a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code. We maintain the ESOP and 401(k) Plan for the benefit of our employees to enable them to share in our growth and supplement their personal savings and social security. The ESOP provides that participants will receive allocations of our common stock at least equal to 3% of their annual compensation, up to certain statutory maximums. The 401(k) Plan allows participants to make elective deferrals of a portion of their income as contribution to a Section 401(k) profit sharing plan. We do not match or otherwise make contributions to the 401(k) Plan. The NEOs participate in the ESOP and 401(k) Plan on the same basis as all of our other employees.
