The Company has defined contribution plans covering substantially all domestic employees and certain foreign subsidiary employees who meet certain service and eligibility requirements. Participant benefits are 100% vested upon participation. The Company matches employee contributions, limited to 50% of the first 6% of each employee’s salary contributed. The Company’s matching contributions to defined contribution plans on a consolidated basis were approximately $1,357, $673, $125 and $749 in fiscal year 2012, the period ended May 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011, the period from April 1 to April 30, 2010, and fiscal year 2010, respectively.

 

The Company has an incentive compensation program to provide employees with incentive pay based on the Company’s ability to achieve certain profitability objectives. The Company recorded approximately $6,943, $5,131, $273 and $3,253, for incentive compensation earned in fiscal year 2012, the period ended May 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011, the period from April 1 to April 30, 2010, and fiscal year 2010, respectively.
