As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the Company is now able to count earnings and service after the age 65 to figure the amount of retirement benefits. Wallace noted that more and more employees are working beyond age 65. For those working after the age 70, the retire ment benefit will begin on April 1 follow ing the year the employee reaches age 701/ 2. The retirement benefit at actual retire ment will be adjusted. Another improvement in the plan is a provision whereby, beginning January 1, 1989, employees with at least five years of service will be fully vested in the plan. By being vested, an employee is entitled to a retirementbenefit if he/she should leave the company before retirement age. Service Awards 5 Year Awards CoraB. Owens 2 Kenneth P. Burton 2 Barbara P.
