1. | DESCRIPTION OF PLAN | |
The following description of the BorgWarner Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plans provisions. | ||
General The Plan was established on January 27, 1993, and is a participating plan under the BorgWarner Inc. Retirement Savings Master Trust (the Master Trust). BorgWarner Inc. (the Company or the Corporation) is the sponsor of the Plan. | ||
The Plan was established as a defined contribution plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), designed to provide eligible employees of the Company with systematic savings and tax-advantaged long-term savings for retirement. The Company has assigned the Employee Benefit Committee (the Committee) to oversee the Plan and the Master Trust. | ||
The Committee appointed T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. and T. Rowe Price Trust Co. (the Trustee) to perform the administrative, investment, and trustee services for the Plan and the Master Trust. | ||
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). | ||
2008 Plan Merger On December 31, 2008, the BorgWarner Employee Retirement Savings Plan (the ERSP Plan) was amended to merge the ERSP Plan into the Plan and provided that the assets attributable to the ERSP Plan be transferred and merged with those of the Plan effective as of the start of business on December 31, 2008. Each ERSP Plan participant has an accrued benefit in the Plan that is no less than his or her accrued benefit under the ERSP Plan immediately prior to the merger. All ERSP Plan assets were transferred to the Plan on December 31, 2008. | ||
Eligibility Employees of the Company, and employees of its divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates that have adopted the Plan, subject to the consent of the Committee, are immediately eligible to start making employee contributions as of their date of hire. | ||
Participants Accounts Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions, the Companys matching contributions and an allocation of Plan earnings, and charged with withdrawals and an allocation of Plan losses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account, including: | ||
Company Retirement Account The Company makes contributions as a percentage of a participants compensation, based on years of vested service and age, to this account on behalf of each eligible participant. No employee contributions are made to this account. | ||
Savings Account Participants may voluntarily contribute from 1% to 28% of their compensation to this account, subject to IRC limitations. Pretax deferrals into this account are limited to 12% for highly compensated employees. New employees are automatically enrolled at 3% upon completing 60 days of |
-4-
service, unless they elect not to participate or they elect a different percentage rate. The Company makes contributions equal to 100% of the first 3% of participant pre-tax contributions. |
Retiree Health Account Participants may voluntarily contribute from 1% to 3% of their compensation to this account, depending on their date of hire and when their location adopted this provision of the Plan. The Company makes contributions equal to 100% of participants contributions to this account, limited to $500 per year. No after-tax contributions are allowed. | ||
Investment Options Participants elect to invest their account balances (including current and accumulated contributions, current and accumulated Company contributions on behalf of participants and earnings) into various investment options offered by the Plan, including collective trust funds, mutual funds, stable value fund, money market fund, and the BorgWarner Inc. Stock Fund. | ||
Vesting Fund assets attributable to voluntary participant contributions are fully vested at all times. Fund assets attributable to Company contributions vest 100% upon: three years of vested service; or permanent disability, death, or attaining age 65 provided the participant is employed by the Company on that date. | ||
Withdrawals While participants are employed, no hardship withdrawals may be made from the Company Retirement Account or Retiree Health Account. Hardship withdrawals may be made from the Savings Account at participants discretion, subject to certain limitations. Distribution of benefits is made upon retirement, death, or other termination of employment as permitted by the Plan and by ERISA regulations. Participants may elect to receive distributions in installments or a lump sum. | ||
Loans Participants may borrow from their Savings Account a minimum of $500 and a maximum of the lesser of (a) 50% of the vested balance or (b) $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance in the last 12 months. | ||
Loan terms ranged from six months to five years, with interest charged at the rate established by the Trustee for similar loans on the origination date. Interest rates on loans outstanding as of December 31, 2008, range from 5.0% to 10.5%. No loans are permitted from the Company Retirement Account or the Retiree Health Account. Loans are secured by the remaining balance in the participants Savings Account. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. | ||
Priorities upon Termination Although the Company has expressed no intent to discontinue the Plan, it has the right to do so at any time, subject to provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event of termination, the interests of affected participants shall become fully vested. The Plan assets then remaining shall be used to pay administrative expenses and benefits equal to the balance in participant accounts. | ||
Forfeited Accounts At December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were approximately $662,000 and $1,037,000, respectively, in forfeited nonvested accounts. During the year ended December 31, 2008, employer contributions were reduced by approximately $728,000 from forfeited nonvested accounts. | ||
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Basis of Presentation The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). |
-5-
Adoption of New Accounting Guidance On January 1, 2008, the Plan adopted as required, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) which expands the disclosure of fair value measurements and its impact on the Plans financial statements. | ||
Refer to Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, for further information related to SFAS 157. | ||
Investment Valuation The Master Trusts investments are recorded at fair value, based upon the last traded or current bid prices in active markets. Where there are no readily available last traded or current bid prices, fair value estimation procedures used in determining asset values might cause differences from the values that would exist in a ready market due to the potential subjectivity in the estimates. Equities and mutual funds are valued based on quoted market prices on national exchanges. |
Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets available for benefits as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of changes in assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
-6-
Risks and Uncertainties The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including a stable value fund, mutual funds, collective trusts, equities and a money market fund. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. | ||
Administrative Expenses Transfer taxes and brokerage expenses attributable to the Master Trust assets are charged to the applicable fund as a reduction of the return on that fund. Any other expenses incurred with respect to Master Trust administration are charged to participant accounts, where applicable, or are paid in such manner as the Company determines, and is in accordance with the plan documents. | ||
Payment of Benefits Benefits are recorded when paid. There were no amounts allocated to accounts of persons who had elected to withdraw from the Plan but had not yet been paid at December 31, 2008 and 2007. | ||
Transfers Other entities of the Corporation sponsor defined contribution plans, besides the Plan. When an employee transfers to any other BorgWarner entity covered by a different BorgWarner-sponsored plan, that participants account balance is transferred to the corresponding plan. | ||
3. | EXEMPT PARTIES-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS | |
The Master Trust invests in BorgWarner Inc. common stock and makes loans to participants, which are permitted party-in-interest transactions. Certain Master Trust investments are shares of mutual funds and other investments managed by the Trustee and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to the Trustee for administrative services amounted to approximately $276,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, and are included in administrative expenses. Fees paid by the Plan to the Trustee for investment management services were included as a reduction of return earned on each fund. | ||
On November 14, 2007, the Corporations Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend on its common stock. To implement this stock split, shares of common stock were issued on December 17, 2007 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 6, 2007. All prior year share amounts disclosed in this document have been restated to reflect the two-for-one stock split. | ||
At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Master Trust held approximately 2,614,000 and 1,956,000 shares, respectively, of BorgWarner Inc. common stock, the sponsoring employer, on behalf of the Plan. These shares had a fair value of approximately $56,912,000 and $94,682,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Master Trust received dividends of approximately $874,000 on BorgWarner Inc. common stock on behalf of the Plan. | ||
The costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee under the Plan and the fee charged by the Trustee are charged to the Plan. The Company has the right to be reimbursed each year from the Plan for the cost to the Company of bank fees and auditing fees. | ||
4. | TAX STATUS | |
The Plan obtained a favorable determination letter, dated March 31, 2009, in which the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stated the Plan complied with applicable requirements of the IRC. The |
-7-
Company and the Plan administrator believe that the Plan is currently designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and the Plan and related trust continue to be tax-exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plans financial statements. |

6. | VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE RESOLUTION | |
For the 2004 through 2007 Plan years, the Company excluded certain forms of compensation from eligible compensation in applying participants deferral elections and in calculating employer matching and profit sharing contributions. In order to resolve this issue, the Company filed with the IRS an application under its Voluntary Correction program in 2007. The Company corrected the exclusion by contributing $273,550 to the Plan during 2007. This contribution represents the amount that should have been withheld from affected participants and contributed to the Plan, the Company match associated with these amounts, the Company retirement account contribution, and the estimated earnings that could have been realized had such withholdings and Company contributions occurred (collectively, the Retroactive Contribution). On November 16, 2007, a Voluntary Compliance Resolution was filed with the IRS. On April 18, 2009 the Voluntary Compliance Resolution was approved by the IRS. | ||
7. | MASTER TRUST INFORMATION | |
Use of the Master Trust permits commingling of trust assets of a number of defined contribution plans of the Corporation for investment and administrative purposes. Although assets are commingled in the Master Trust, the Trustee maintains supporting records for the purpose of allocating the total investment income of the Master Trust to the various participating plans. | ||
Purchases and sales of securities in the Master Trust are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
-8-
On December 31, 2008, the ERSP Plan was amended to merge into the Plan and provided that the assets attributable to the ERSP Plan be transferred and merged with the Plan effective as of the start of business on December 31, 2008. Therefore, at December 31, 2008 the Master Trust consisted of the investments of four defined contribution plans sponsored by the Corporation and certain of its entities. At December 31, 2007, the Master Trust consisted of the investments of five defined contribution plans sponsored by the Corporation and certain of its entities. The investments held by the Master Trust are valued at fair value at the end of each business day, with the exception of the investments held in the SVF, which are valued at contract value. The total investment loss in the Master Trust is allocated by the Trustee to each participating plan based on the relationship of the interest of each plan to the total of the interests of all participating plans. | ||
At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Plans interest in the assets of the Master Trust was 83.33% and 71.79%, respectively. | ||
The following tables present the carrying value of investments of the Master Trust as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the components of investment loss for the Master Trust for the year ended December 31, 2008 (in thousands): |

8. | FAIR VALUE MEASURMENTS | |
SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to Level 3 measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described as follows: |
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; | ||
Level 2: | Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and | ||
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in SFAS 157: |
A. | Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. | ||
B. | Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). |
-10-
C. | Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models). |
