(18) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has a 401(k) Investment Plan, or the 401(k) Plan, which covers all full-time and part-time employees of the Company who have attained the age of 21 and have a minimum of one year of service, including the employees of Medallion Bank. Under the 401(k) Plan, an employee may elect to defer not less than 1% of total annual compensation, up to the applicable limits set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Employee contributions are invested in various mutual funds according to the directions of the employee. The Company matches employee contributions to the 401(k) Plan in an amount per employee equal to one-third of the first 6% of the employee’s annual contributions, subject to legal limits. The Company’s 401(k) plan expense, including amounts for the employees of Medallion Bank and other consolidated subsidiaries in the prior year periods, was approximately $193,000, $182,000, and $185,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017.
