10. Employee Benefit Plan

Profit Sharing and Deferred Compensation Plan

We have a Profit Sharing and Deferred Compensation Plan, The BSQUARE Corporation 401(k) Plan and Trust, (the “Profit Sharing Plan”) under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Substantially all full-time employees are eligible to participate in the Profit Sharing Plan. We typically elect to match the participants’ contributions to the Profit Sharing Plan up to a certain amount subject to vesting. Participants will receive their share of the value of their investments, and any applicable vested match, upon retirement or termination. We made matching contributions of $321,000 in 2016 and $269,000 in 2015. Of the annual matching contributions, none of the 2016 and $26,000 of the 2015 contributions were composed of transfers from the Profit Sharing Plan’s forfeiture account.
