This plan includes a mandatory Company match on the first 1% of participants' contributions. The Company matches the next 2% of participants' contributions if the Company meets prescribed earnings levels. The plan also provides for additional Company contributions above the 3% level if the Company attains certain additional performance targets. Matching contribution expense for this 401(k) plan was $239 and $225 for the three months ended June 25, 2016 and June 27, 2015, respectively, and $465 and $460 for the six months ended June 25, 2016 and June 27, 2015, respectively.

Additionally, the Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan that covers approximately 14% of the Company's current associates at one facility who are under a collective-bargaining agreement.
