Note 11: Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company maintains nonqualified deferred compensation plans for the benefit of a select group of highly compensated employees. Under these plans, participants may elect to defer up to 100% of their compensation. Company assets that are earmarked to pay benefits under the plans are held in a rabbi trust and are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. As of January 3, 2020 and December 28, 2018, the invested amounts under the plans totaled $75,934,000 and $57,778,000, respectively. These assets are classified as trading securities and are recorded at fair market value with changes recorded as adjustments to other income.

As of January 3, 2020 and December 28, 2018, vested amounts due under the plans totaled $76,357,000 and $59,349,000, respectively. Changes in the liability are recorded as adjustments to compensation expense. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized compensation expense/(gain) of $12,834,000, ($3,900,000) and $6,547,000, respectively, as a result of changes in the market value of the trust assets with the same amount being recorded as other income.
