21. Retirement Plans

 

Defined Contribution Plan

 

United States-based employees participate in our 401(k) retirement plan and may contribute a portion of their annual compensation to a 401(k) plan on a pre-tax basis, in accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines. On behalf of all participants in the plan, we provide a safe harbor contribution subject to certain limitations. Employee contributions and our safe harbor contributions are vested at all times. We recognized and paid compensation expense associated with the safe harbor contributions totaling $0.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2015. There was no compensation expense associated with the safe harbor contributions for the period ended March 31, 2014 as the plan was initiated during the year ended March 31, 2015 coinciding with the transfer of management services from the Manager to our wholly owned subsidiaries, as described in Note 3.

 

Defined Benefit Plan

 

Our Greece-based employees have a statutory required defined benefit pension plan according to provisions of Greek law 2112/20 covering all eligible employees (the “Greece Plan”). We recognized compensation expense and recorded a corresponding liability associated with our projected benefit obligation to the Greece Plan totaling $0.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2015 and no compensation expense for the period ended March 31, 2014.

 

Other

 

We contribute to retirement accounts for certain United Kingdom-based employees based on a percentage of their annual salaries. For the year ended March 31, 2015, we recognized compensation expense of $0.1 million related to these contributions. There was no compensation expense associated with these contributions for the period ended March 31, 2014.
