Germany – Pension Plan
The Company operates a hybrid plan that provides a defined contribution for some participants and a final pay defined
benefit for other participants, depending on which former IBM plan they were in.
Employees hired by IBM before January 1, 1992 have a defined benefit based on a final pay formula. Employees hired
from 1992 to 1999 have a combination of a defined benefit based on a final pay formula and a defined contribution
plan with employee required contributions of 7% of pay above the social security ceiling and a 100% company match.
Employees hired in or after 2000 have a combination of a cash balance plan with an employer contribution of 2.95%
of pay below the social security ceiling, and a voluntary defined contribution plan where employees can contribute
specific amounts through salary sacrifice.
The plan is partially funded by Company and employee contributions to an insured support fund with DBV-Winterthur
up to the maximum tax-deductible limits. In line with standard practice in Germany, the remainder is unfunded (book
reserve).
For the year ended March 31, 2014, an amount of EUROS 1,214,920 was charged to the income statement with
respect to this plan.
