Participate Today In The Electronic Arts Inc. 401(k) Plan
Most of your retirement income will probably come from savings accumulated during your working years, and the Electronic Arts Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) can help you work toward your retirement savings goals! Here’s a quick summary of the Plan and how you can start saving today.
WHAT IS THE PLAN?
The Plan is a salary-deferral retirement plan that allows employees to make contributions on a pre-tax and/or Roth 401(k) after-tax basis. The Plan also provides valuable employer matching contributions* as you work toward your retirement savings goals. Early distributions from the Plan may result in costly tax penalties. However, the Plan does allow general and residential loans and hardship withdrawals to meet speci c nancial needs you may have before you retire.
*Employer contributions are paid on a pre-tax basis and may be taxable at withdrawal.
THE BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATION
Are you wondering about the bene ts of participating in the Plan, and how it can impact your take-home pay?
When you contribute to the Plan, you’re helping save more toward your retirement over time. By making regular contributions from each paycheck today, your Plan account may grow tax- deferred (or with tax-free earnings, depending on the type of contribution and requirements) until you’re ready to use the money at retirement. Over time, your contributions and any potential investment gain on your Plan account can become an important part of your nancial plan.
