The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan (the “Savings Plan”) for the benefit of substantially all of its U.S. employees who meet certain eligibility requirements, primarily age and length of service. The Savings Plan allows employees to invest up to 60%, for a maximum of $17.0 thousand a year for 2012, of their eligible gross cash compensation invested on a pre-tax basis. The Company’s optional contributions to the Savings Plan are generally in amounts based upon a certain percentage of the employees’ contributions. The Company’s contributions to the Savings Plan during the 53 weeks ended February 2, 2013, the 52 weeks ended January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, were $4.6 million, $4.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively.
