UPS 401(k) match, vesting and fees

Employer Contributions - For employees hired and eligible to participate in the Plan on or before December 31, 2007, UPS makes “SavingsPlus” (as defined in the Plan documents) matching contributions to each participant’s account equal to 50% of pre-tax and/or Roth 401(k) contributions made to the Plan up to 5% of eligible compensation. For employees, hired, rehired or transferred from ineligible status who became eligible to participate in the Plan on or after January 1, 2008, but before July 1, 2016, UPS makes SavingsPlus matching contributions to each participant's account equal to 100% of pre-tax and/or Roth 401(k) contributions made to the Plan up to 3.5% of eligible compensation. For employees hired, rehired or transferred from ineligible status who became eligible to participate in the Plan on or after July 1, 2016, UPS makes SavingsPlus matching contributions to each participant's account equal to 50% of pre-tax and/or Roth 401(k) contributions made to the Plan up to 6% of eligible compensation. Prior to January 1, 2023, all SavingsPlus matching contributions were made in UPS class A common stock. Effective for SavingsPlus matching contributions accrued after January 1, 2023, UPS makes SavingsPlus matching contributions in cash to each eligible participant's account equal to 50% of pre-tax, Roth, and/or after-tax 401(k) contributions made to the Plan by the participant up to 6% of eligible compensation. The SavingsPlus matching contributions for 2023 and 2022 were $152.593 million and $142.438 million, respectively.

Contributions and Vesting - Eligible employees may participate in the Plan immediately upon hire. The Plan provides that a participant's contributions and SavingsPlus match are 100% vested at all times. Employees become 100% vested in the UPS Retirement Contribution after three complete years of service.

The Plan includes an auto-enrollment provision whereby certain newly eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan unless they affirmatively elect not to participate in the Plan. Automatically enrolled participants initially have their deferral rate set at 6% of eligible compensation and their contributions invested in an age appropriate target date fund unless and until changed by the participant. The deferral rate is increased 1% annually, as provided in the Plan documents, until it reaches 10% of eligible compensation or is changed by the participant. Effective January 1, 2023, the deferral rate will be increased 1% annually until it reaches 15% of eligible compensation or is changed by the participant.

The Plan allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation, subject to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") yearly limits, on a pretax and/or Roth after-tax ("Roth 401(k)") basis under the rules of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).

Notes Receivable from Participants - The Plan provides for loans only in cases of hardship or certain residential purchases. Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balances (across all UPS-sponsored plans in which they participate). Loan terms shall not exceed five years on general loans and fifteen years on residential loans. Interest rates on outstanding loans ranged from 4.25% to 11.60% as of December 31, 2023. The loans are collateralized by the participant's account and bear interest at a fixed rate equal to one percentage point above the prime rate on the last business day of the month prior to the month in which the participant makes application for the loan.
