1. | DESCRIPTION OF PLAN | |
The following description of the BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products Inc., Muncie Plant 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 1, 1991, and is a participating plan under the BorgWarner Inc. Retirement Savings Master Trust (the Master Trust). The Plan sponsor is BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products Inc. (the Company), a wholly owned subsidiary of BorgWarner Inc. (the Corporation). | ||
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 Corporation 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). | ||
Eligibility Hourly employees of the Companys Muncie plant covered by the collective bargaining agreement between the Company and UAW Local 287, hired or rehired on or after September 7, 1989, are eligible to make contributions as of their date of hire or rehire. | ||
Hourly employees covered by the agreement, hired or rehired before September 7, 1989, have been able to participate, once attaining the earlier of: (i) seniority as defined in the collective bargaining agreement; or (ii) one year of vested service, provided, in either case, such employee (a) was ineligible to retire as of December 31, 1990, under the Borg-Warner Diversified Transmission Products Inc., Muncie Plant Local 287 Retirement Investment Plan (RIP), and (b) had elected that any accrued benefits under the RIP be frozen at the time of beginning participation in the Plan and that any account balance in the RIP be transferred to the Plan. |
-4-
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 contributes the following to this account, based on a participants age and years of service. |
| $0.33 for each hour for which the participant receives compensation from the Company, if the participant (i) has not attained age 35 as of the preceding January 1, or (ii) has not completed 10 years of vested service; | ||
| $0.54 for each hour for which the participant receives compensation from the Company, if the participant is (i) at least age 35, but less than age 40, as of the preceding January 1, or (ii) has completed at least 10 but less than 20 years of vested service; and | ||
| $0.65 for each hour for which the participant receives compensation from the Company, if the participant is (i) at least age 40 as of the preceding January 1, or (ii) has completed 20 or more years of vested service. |
No employee contributions are made to this account. | ||
Savings Account Participants may voluntarily contribute from 1% to 29% of eligible compensation to this account, subject to IRC limitations. The Company matches 75% of the first 4% of pre-tax participant contributions. | ||
Retiree Health Account Participants hired or rehired on or after January 1, 1993 may voluntarily contribute from $0.05 to $0.20 per hour worked of their eligible compensation to this account. The Company matches 100% of participant contributions, up 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 the 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. |
-5-
Loan terms range 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 9.3%. 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 Athough 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 $21,000 and $30,000, respectively, in forfeited nonvested accounts. During the year ended December 31, 2008, employer contributions were reduced by approximately $10,000 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). | ||
Adoption of New Accounting Guidance On January 1, 2008, the Plan adopted as required, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 Fair Value Measurement (SFAS 157) which expands the disclosure of fair value measurements and its impact on the Plans financial statements. | ||
Refer to Note 7, 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. |
Collective Trust Funds The Collective Trust Funds are valued on a unit value basis either on a monthly or quarterly basis by the fund manager or general partner, and are reviewed by the Master Trusts fiduciaries for reasonableness. The fair values of these investments are determined by reference to the respective funds underlying assets, which are primarily marketable equity and fixed income securities. In the event that a fund managers or general partners valuation is not deemed reasonable, fair value is determined by the fair valuation policies prescribed by the Master Trust agreement. | |||
Stable Value Fund The contract value of the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Common Trust Fund (SVF) of the Master Trust was approximately $150,797,000 and $144,248,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The fair value of the SVF was approximately $149,397,000 and $145,106,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The crediting interest rate was 4.1% and 4.7% at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Crediting interest rates are influenced by the yield and any gain or loss on investment contracts underlying the SVF. The yield on the SVF is an average of the crediting rates of interest for the underlying investment contracts of the SVF. The fair value of the SVF is determined based on the fair value of the underlying assets in the funds on the close of business on the valuation date. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. |
-6-
BorgWarner Inc. Common Stock Fund BorgWarner Inc. common stock is valued at the closing price reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Listing. | |||
Mutual Funds Mutual Funds are investment vehicles stated at fair value based on quoted market prices reported by the Trustee. | |||
Money Market Fund The Money Market Fund invests in high-quality short-term securities with maturities of 13 months or less. The fund is an investment vehicle valued using $1 for the net asset value. The fund is stated at fair value, based on the funds underlying assets, as reported by the Trustee. | |||
Participant Loans Loans to plan participants are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. |
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. | ||
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 $12,000 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 46,000 and 49,000 shares, respectively, of BorgWarner Inc. common stock, the sponsoring employer, on behalf of the Plan. These shares had a fair value of approximately $1,012,000 and $2,384,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Master Trust received dividends of approximately $22,000 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 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. | 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. | ||
On December 31, 2008, the BorgWarner Employees Retirement Savings Plan (the ERSP Plan) was amended to merge the ERSP Plan into the BorgWarner Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the Surviving Plan), and provided that the assets attributable to the ERSP Plan be transferred and merged with those of the Surviving 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 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 1.44% and 1.49%, respectively. |
