The named executive officers participate in the Medco Cash Balance Retirement Plan and the Medco Supplemental Retirement Plan. A participants retirement income is determined as follows: for each calendar year, a participants aggregate accrued benefit under the plans, which is stated as an account balance, is increased by a service credit and an interest credit. The service credit is equal to 3.5 percent of base pay for participants with 10 or less years of service and 4.5 percent of base pay for participants with more than 10 years of service. Base pay is regular base wages and does not include bonus or option gain. Interest credits are a stated percentage of the accrued benefit. The interest rate is set under the terms of the Plan. For 2011, interest was credited at 0.27 percent. The plans do not provide for early retirement subsidies. Upon termination of employment, the participant may take an immediate distribution of his vested account balance in the Medco Cash Balance Retirement Plan. Distributions of vested account balances from the Medco Supplemental Retirement Plan are paid out automatically six months following termination of employment. Participants vest in their account balance after three years of service. The table below indicates years of service for each named executive officer and the present value of their accrued benefit under each plan. The plans do not provide for an offset for Social Security benefits. Mr. Rubino, Mr. Moriarty and Mr. Wentworth have more than 10 years of service. Accordingly, their service credit was equal to 4.5 percent of base pay while the other named executive officers accrued a benefit at the rate of 3.5 percent of pay.
The Board of Directors has adopted a written Related Person Transaction Policy (the Policy) that addresses the reporting, review and approval or ratification of transactions with related persons, and that covers (but is not limited to) those related person transactions and relationships required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company recognizes that related person transactions can involve potential or actual conflicts of interest and pose the risk that they may be, or be perceived to have been, based on considerations other than the Companys best interests. Accordingly, as a general matter, the Company seeks to avoid such transactions. However, the Company recognizes that in some circumstances transactions between related persons and the Company may be incidental to the normal course of business or provide an opportunity that is in the best interests of the Company to pursue or that is not inconsistent with the best interests of the Company and where it is not efficient to pursue an alternative transaction. The Policy therefore is not designed to prohibit related person transactions; rather, it is to provide for timely internal reporting of such transactions and appropriate review, oversight and public disclosure of them. The Policy supplements the provisions of the Companys Standards of Business Conduct concerning potential conflict of interest situations.
