FLOWERS FOODS, INC. RETIREMENT PLAN NO. 1 is a DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN. This type of plan generally provides participants with a monthly retirement benefit upon reaching a specific age and may be adjusted for early retirement. Benefits paid at the time of retirement are typically calculated using a formula based upon years of credited service and compensation information. Benefits are generally payable to the participant upon reaching "normal retirement age" for the remainder of the Participant's lifetime. Benefits accumulated under this type of plan are often referred to as "accrued benefits".
With this type of plan, the Alternate Payee is usually not awarded a lump sum cash payment from the Plan. Rather, the Alternate Payee’s award is typically made in terms of a monthly benefit payable for either the lifetime of the Participant (a "shared payment") or the Alternate Payee (a "separate interest").
Features of the FLOWERS FOODS, INC. RETIREMENT PLAN NO. 1 may include:
- This is a “frozen” plan, meaning that as of the last day of the plan year, the plan provides that no participant will get any new benefit accrual (whether because of service or compensation).
