Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")

Effective January 1, 2012 the ESOP was closed to new hires.  Prior to this date, substantially all of the Company’s U.S. non-union employees were participants in the ESOP. Additionally, during the year ended March 31, 2015 the final loan payment was made by the ESOP to the Company and there was no compensation expense recorded in fiscal years 2023, 2022, or 2021.

At March 31, 2023 and 2022, 177,000 and 190,000 of ESOP shares, respectively, were allocated or available to be allocated to participants’ accounts. There are no shares of collateralized common stock related to the ESOP loan outstanding at March 31, 2023 and no ESOP shares were pledged as collateral to guarantee the ESOP term loans.
