Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan

 

The Company has a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (“NQDC”) for the benefit of employees defined by the Internal Revenue Service as highly compensated. A certain percentage of an employee’s contributions may be matched by the Company, subject to certain Plan limitations. This match will vest over a specified period of time. The Company’s match was approximately $0.4 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which was expensed as incurred.

 

Changes in the fair value of the trading securities related to the NQDC and the corresponding change in the associated liability are included within interest income and selling, general and administrative expenses respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.  Historically, these changes have resulted in no impact to the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

 

Defined Benefit Plan

 

The Company has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for the CTS employees, hired on or before July 31, 2003, who meet specified age and length-of-service requirements. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation near retirement. In fiscal 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R),” (“SFAS No. 158”) on a prospective basis. SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur. In addition, SFAS No. 158 requires companies to measure plan assets and benefit obligations utilizing a fiscal year end measurement date.  In fiscal 2008, subsequent to the initial adoption as permitted under SFAS No. 158, the Company adopted the fiscal year end measurement date and recorded an immaterial adjustment to retained earnings; prior to fiscal 2008, the Company utilized a December 31 measurement date.  For the years ended February 28, 2009 and March 1, 2008, the net periodic pension cost was not material to the Company’s results of operations. The Company has a $7.2 million and $0.7 million liability, which is included in deferred rent and other liabilities as of February 28, 2009 and March 1, 2008, respectively. In addition, as of February 28, 2009 and March 1, 2008, the Company recognized a loss of $0.9 million, net of taxes of $0.5 million, and income of $3.6 million, net of taxes of $2.2 million, respectively, within accumulated other comprehensive loss.
