Employee Benefit Plans
Employee Benefit Plans:

Qualified Investment Plan

In 1990, we adopted a 401(k) plan, which provides participants with an opportunity to accumulate funds for retirement. The plan does not allow investments in the Company's common stock. The plan allows for the Company to make discretionary matching contributions in cash. The Company recorded no matching contributions in fiscal 2013, but matched contributions for a total of $0.8 million in fiscal 2012 and $0.8 million in fiscal 2011.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

We initiated an Executive Deferred Compensation Plan effective August 1997. Under the provisions of this plan, as approved by the Board of Directors, certain senior executives may annually defer up to 75% of their salary and up to 100% of their incentive compensation. The return on deferred funds is based upon the performance of designated mutual funds. There is no guaranteed return or matching contribution. We paid out $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million of the deferred compensation balance in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Balances at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, are reflected in Long-term liabilities in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and the related assets are included in Other long-term assets in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred compensation amounts are unsecured obligations, but we have made corresponding contributions to a trust fund owned by the Company for the benefit of deferred compensation plan participants. The trust fund invests in mutual funds in the manner directed by participants pursuant to provisions of the plan. The mutual funds are accounted for as trading securities and are marked to market.

2011 Cash Incentive Plan

On February 1, 2011, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the FY2011 Cash Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The Chief Executive Officer, other executive officers, and other members of senior management, including vice presidents and director-level employees, together with all other employees of the Company not on the Company's sales incentive plan, were eligible to participate in the 2011 Plan. Under the 2011 Plan, individual cash incentive payments for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers would be based both on Company performance, as measured by achievement of operating income (before incentive plan accruals) and revenue goals within specified ranges established by the Compensation Committee, and individual performance, as measured by the achievement of personal management objectives, with each of these components representing one-third of the potential cash incentive award. On February 6, 2012, the Compensation Committee approved $2.6 million under the provisions of the 2011 Plan, which was paid in February of 2012.

2012 Incentive Plan

On February 7, 2012, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the FY2012 Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The chief executive officer and other executive officers are eligible to participate in the 2012 Plan. Under the 2012 Plan, individual cash incentive payments and restricted stock unit grants for the chief executive officer and other executive officers will be based both on Company financial performance, as measured by achievement of operating income (before incentive plan accruals) and revenue goals within specified ranges established by the Compensation Committee, and Company performance, as measured by the achievement of personal management objectives. The Compensation Committee will determine the performance of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and other participants based on the achievement of the management objectives established by the committee during the first fiscal quarter of 2012. There was no expense recorded under this plan during fiscal 2012.

2013 Incentive Plan

On February 4, 2013, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2013 Cash Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The chief executive officer and other executive officers are eligible to participate in the 2013 Plan. Under the 2013 Plan, individual cash incentive payments and restricted stock unit grants for the chief executive officer and other executive officers will be based both on Company financial performance, as measured by achievement of operating income (before incentive plan accruals) and revenue goals within specified ranges established by the Compensation Committee, and Company performance, as measured by the achievement of personal management objectives. The Compensation Committee will determine the performance of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and other participants based on the achievement of the management objectives established by the committee during the first fiscal quarter of 2013. There was $11.3 million of expense recorded under this plan in fiscal 2013.
