BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has established a

401

(k) defined contribution plan (the

“401

(k) Plan”) for its employees. The

401

(k) Plan allows employees to contribute a portion of their earnings, and the Company

may

match a percentage of the contributions on a discretionary basis. The expense associated with the

401

(k) Plan for the years ended

December 

31,

2019,

2018

 and

2017

 was

$1.4

 million,

$1.2

 million and

$1.0

 million, respectively. The increase in the expense associated with the

401

(k) Plan in each year is primarily attributable to increased headcount and participation.
