1. | Description of the Plan | |
General | ||
The following description of the Baker 401(k) Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information. | ||
The Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides all eligible employees of Michael Baker Corporation (the Company) with an opportunity to accumulate additional retirement benefits as well as invest in the Companys stock. The Plan is subject to provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). Part-time and temporary employees are required to work 1,000 hours, during their first year of employment or any calendar year thereafter, before becoming eligible to join the plan. | ||
Participant Accounts | ||
Each participants account is credited with the participants contribution and allocations of (a) the Companys contributions and (b) Plan earnings or losses, and charged with an allocation of certain administrative fees. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined by the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account. | ||
Contributions | ||
Participants contribute to the Plan through a Section 401(k) Employee Salary Redirection Election. During 2008 and 2007, participants were able to choose to contribute up to the lower of 75 percent of their salaries (including commissions and overtime) or the annual limitation of $15,500 which was established by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The maximum amount of a participants salary, which may be eligible for withholding for any Plan year, could not exceed $230,000 in 2008 or $225,000 in 2007. The Plan also allows participants to roll over funds from a previous employers tax-qualified plan or tax-qualified individual retirement account. All employees who are eligible to make deferred contributions under this Plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the plan year shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with and subject to the limitations established by the IRS. | ||
Company Matching Contributions | ||
In 2008 and 2007, under provisions of the Plan, the Company made matching contributions to the participants accounts in the amount of 100 percent of the first 3 percent of eligible salary and 50 percent on the next 3 percent of eligible salary (including commissions but excluding overtime) contributed by each participant except for the Companys Energy Segment (Energy) employees, for which the Company made matching contributions of 50 percent on the first 6 percent of eligible salary (including commissions, but excluding overtime, except for Energy employees regularly scheduled to work over 40 hours per week, who are matched on overtime up to a maximum of 84 hours per biweekly pay period). | ||
Of the Companys matching contributions, 25 percent was invested in the Companys common stock in 2008 and 2007. The remaining 75 percent was invested in accordance with the participants investment elections for participant contributions. | ||
The Companys Board of Directors is authorized to make additional discretionary contributions to the Plan. A discretionary contribution of $549,995 was made for 2007. No discretionary contribution was made for 2008. |
5
Vesting | ||
Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. All amounts in the participants Plan accounts that are attributable to the transfer of funds from a previously terminated retirement plan, the rollover from a previous employers tax-qualified plan, and participant contributions are 100 percent vested and nonforfeitable at all times. | ||
All of the Companys matching and discretionary contributions will become 100 percent vested upon attainment of three years of service with the Company or earlier, upon attainment of normal retirement date, disability or death. If a participant ceases employment with the Company before attaining a vested interest in the Companys matching contributions, he or she will forfeit those contributions and those contributions will be used to reduce the Companys future matching contributions. Forfeitures of the Companys discretionary contributions by employees ceasing employment with the Company before attaining a vested interest are reallocated to the remaining participants. | ||
Distributions | ||
The Plan provides for distribution of benefits upon retirement, total and permanent disability, death, or termination of employment for any other reason. The amount of distributions that a participant, or his or her beneficiary is entitled to, is based on the vesting requirements discussed above. All distributions will be made in the form of a single, lump-sum distribution or in substantially equal annual installments over a period not exceeding ten years. For participant accounts invested in the Companys common stock, distributions may be made in cash and/or shares of common stock, at the discretion of the participant. As a one-time option, participants may apply in writing to the administrator for a withdrawal of up to 50 percent of their vested account balance for certain limited situations qualifying as financial hardships under IRS guidelines in effect at the time of the withdrawal. | ||
Participant Loans | ||
A participant may borrow money from the portion of his or her account attributable to his or her own 401(k) plan contributions. The participant is allowed one outstanding loan that may be obtained for any reason. Loan amounts shall not exceed the lesser of: (a) 50 percent of the participants vested account balance, including rollovers, (b) $50,000 adjusted for pre-existing loans, or (c) such amount as may be determined by the Plan administrator. All loans will be drawn against the participants account among the respective investment options as directed, and are secured by the assets within the participants accounts. Interest rates on outstanding notes receivable ranged from 5 percent to 10.50 percent at December 31, 2008. Interest rates applicable to Plan loans are typically the Prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus one percent. Interest rates may be capped for certain Plan participants. Principal and interest payments are paid ratably and are generally repaid by payroll deduction. | ||
Forfeited Accounts | ||
For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $408,076 and $687,389, respectively. Forfeited non-vested account balances are used to reduce future employer matching contributions. Also in 2008 and 2007, employer contributions were reduced by $394,942 and $665,812, respectively, as a result of forfeited non-vested accounts. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, forfeiture credit balances totaled $35,978 and $23,859, respectively. The forfeiture credit balance will be used to reduce future employer contributions. | ||
Common Stock | ||
The Plan enables participating employees to acquire an equity interest in the Company; as such, contributions to the Plan can be invested in the Companys common stock. The Plans investment in the Companys common stock comprised 1,013,816 shares (cost of $14,054,471) and 966,173 shares (cost of $11,544,654) at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Participants have the ability to divest themselves of the Companys common stock acquired via the Companys matching contributions after they are vested. As of |
6
December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were 297,522 and 269,200 shares of the Companys common stock, respectively, that were vested, with associated fair values of $10,982,613 and $11,065,251, respectively. | ||

Plan Administration and Fees | ||
The Company provides certain administrative and accounting services to the Plan at no cost. In addition, the Company pays the cost of services provided to the Plan by Fidelity, legal counsel and the independent registered public accounting firm. Certain distribution processing fees charged by Fidelity are deducted from the respective participant account balances. | ||
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Accounting | ||
Fidelity performs the recordkeeping function for the Plan. The financial statements included herein include all required adjustments to reflect the financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles). |
7
Investments | ||
Investments of the Plan are stated at fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). | ||
Mutual funds and the common collective trust represent investments with various investment managers. The respective fair values of these investments are determined by reference to the funds underlying assets, which are principally marketable equity and fixed income securities. Shares held in mutual funds traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the net asset value as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. Units held in the common collective trust are valued at the unit value as reported by the investment manager as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. | ||
The investment in the Companys common stock is stated at publicly-traded closing market values as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Plans assets included approximately 11 percent of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock; therefore, such valuation might be subject to significant fluctuations in the event of a substantial liquidation of such holdings by the Plan or due to other market fluctuations. | ||
The difference between the cost and current market value of investments purchased since the beginning of the period as well as the decrease or increase in the stated market value of investments held at the beginning of the period is included in the caption, Net (depreciation)/appreciation in fair value of investments in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. | ||
Participant loans are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. | ||
Contributions | ||
Employee and employer contributions are recorded in the period during which the Company makes payroll deductions from Plan participants earnings. After approval by the Board of Directors of Michael Baker Corporation, discretionary contributions are accrued in the period they are earned. | ||
Distributions | ||
Distributions to participants are recorded when paid. | ||
Use of Estimates | ||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements of the period in which the changes become evident. | ||
Concentration of Risk | ||
Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with these investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of these investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the near term could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. |
8
New Accounting Pronouncements | ||
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. As of January 1, 2008, the Plan has adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements. There was no material impact to the financial statements of the Plan upon adoption of SFAS 157. | ||
Reclassifications | ||
A reclassification has been made to prior years Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits in order to conform to the current year presentation. A balance of $1,032,215 was reclassified from the Investments in mutual funds to the Investment in common-collective trust fund caption in the Plans Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits as of December 31, 2007. | ||
3. | Investments | |
The following presents the fair value of investments that represent 5 percent or more of the Plans net assets at December 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively: |

4. | Tax Status | |
The Internal Revenue Service determined and informed the Company by a letter dated December 10, 2008, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). On January 21, 2009, the Plan made clarifying amendments as part of the favorable tax determination letter process. The Plan administrator and the Plans counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with applicable requirements of the IRC. | ||
5. | Plan Termination | |
Although it has not expressed an intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts. | ||
6. | Fair Value Measurements | |
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS No. 157 as the exit price associated with the sale of an asset or transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Plan has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008. | ||
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under SFAS No. 157 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. In addition, SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: |
