Description
of Plan
|
The
following brief description of the CLARCOR Inc. (the "Company") 401(k)
Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information
purposes only. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan
Description for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.
|
General
|
The
Plan is a defined contribution plan. Effective January 1, 2004,
the Plan was restated and amended to cover only those eligible employees
who elected to continue participation in the CLARCOR Inc. Pension
Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
|
|
Contributions
|
Each
year, participants may contribute up to 50% of annual compensation on a
combined pre-tax and/or Roth basis, as defined in the Plan, subject to
applicable Internal Revenue Code limitations. Participants may
also elect to make after-tax contributions to the Plan up to 10% of the
participant's compensation, and may also rollover amounts representing
distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution
plans. The Company matches 50% of the first 3% of combined
pre-tax and/or Roth contributions.
|
|
Participant
Accounts
|
Each
participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions,
Company's contributions and Plan earnings. Contributions are
based on participant elections, as defined. The only benefit to
which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from
the participant's vested account. Participants direct the
investment of their contributions into various investment options offered
by the Plan. The Plan currently offers a common/collective
trust and 22 mutual funds as investment options for
participants.
|
|
Vesting
|
Participants
are immediately vested in their contributions, plus actual earnings
thereon. Vesting in the Company's contribution and related
earnings portion of their accounts is based on years of continuous
service. A participant is vested as
follows:

|
Participant
Loans
|
Participants
may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 and may have only one
loan outstanding. Loans are repaid through payroll deductions
with principal and interest being credited to the participants' account
balances. Loans may not exceed the lesser of 50% of the
participant's vested balance or $50,000, and loans are to be repaid over a
period of time not to exceed five years, unless used for the purchase of a
principal residence, in which case the payback period may not exceed 15
years. The loans are collateralized by the balance in the
participant's account and bear interest at the prime rate plus 2% at the
time of the loan.
|
|
Payment
of Benefits
|
Upon
termination of service, death, disability or retirement, participants, or
their beneficiaries, will receive lump-sum benefit
payments. Benefits paid are equal to the value of the
participant's vested interest in his or her account.
|
|
Subject
to certain provisions specified in the Plan agreement, employed
participants may withdraw their after-tax contributions and related
earnings. Withdrawals from the Plan may also be made upon
circumstances of financial hardship in accordance with provisions
specified in the Plan.
|
||
Forfeited
Accounts
|
Forfeitures
are used to reduce future Company contributions. Approximately
$4,538 and $1,606 were used to reduce Company contributions during 2008
and 2007, respectively.
|
|
Administrative
Expenses
|
The
Company pays substantially all of the Plan's administrative
expenses.
|
|

|
Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
|
Basis
of Accounting
|
The
financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of
accounting.
|
|
Use
of Estimates
|
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of the financial
statements and the changes in net assets available for benefits during the
reporting period and, when applicable, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those
estimates.
|
Risks
and
Uncertainties
|
The
Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of stocks,
bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds and other investment
securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks,
such as interest rate, market valuation and credit risks. Due
to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the
level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment
securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks could
materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported
in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements
of changes in net assets available for benefits. Individual
participants' accounts bear the risk of loss resulting from fluctuations
in fund values.
|
Investment
Valuation
and
Income
Recognition
|
The
Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Quoted market
prices are used to value investments. Shares of mutual funds
and shares of the common/collective trust are valued at the net asset
value of shares or units held by the Plan at year-end. The
CLARCOR Inc. Common Stock Fund is valued at the year-end unit closing
price, based on the quoted market price of the Company common stock plus
uninvested cash. Participant loans are valued at cost which
approximates fair value.
Purchases
and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date
basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Net appreciation includes the Plan's gains and losses on
investments bought and sold as well as held during the
year.
|
|
Payment
of Benefits
|
Benefits
are recorded when paid.
|
|

Significant
Investments

The
fair value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the
Plan's net assets are as follows:

Related
Party
Transactions
|
The
Plan invests in shares of mutual funds managed by an affiliate of Vanguard
Fiduciary Trust Company. Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company acts
as trustee for only those investments as defined by the
Plan. Transactions in such investments qualify as
party-in-interest transactions which are exempt from the prohibited
transaction rules. Fees paid by participants of the Plan for
annual loan and redemption fees amounted to $3,750 and $3,591 for the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
|
|
The
CLARCOR Inc. Common Stock Fund contains shares of common stock issued by
the Company. The Company is the Plan Sponsor as defined by the
Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest
transactions which are exempt from the prohibited transaction
rules.
|
|||
5.
|
Plan
Termination
|
Although
it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under
the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan
termination, participants will become 100% vested in their employer
contributions.
|
|
|
|||
6.
|
Tax
Status
|
The
Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
letter dated April 8, 2002 that the Plan and related trust are designed in
accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code
("IRC"). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the
determination letter, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is
designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the IRC.

|
Fair
Value
Measurements
|
FASB
Statement No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that
prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair
value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level
1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3
measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy
under FASB Statement No. 157 are described as follows:
|
|
§
|
Level
1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for
identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the
ability to access.
|
||
§
|
Level
2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include: quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; inputs that
are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by
correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a
specified (contractual) term, the level 2 inputs must be observable for
substantially the full term of the asset or
liability.
|
§
|
Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. | ||
An
asset’s or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value
hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to
the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs.
Following
is a description of the valuation methodologies used for Plan assets
measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the
methodologies used at December 31, 2008 and
2007.
CLARCOR Inc. Common
Stock: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on
which the individual securities are traded.
Mutual funds and
common/collective trust: Valued at the net asset value (NAV) of
shares held by the Plan at year-end.
Participant loans:
Valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair
value.
The
preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may
not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair
values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation
methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the
use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value
of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value
measurement at the reporting date.
The
following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the
Plan's assets at fair value as of December 31,
2008:

|
Subsequent
Event
(Unaudited)
|
Effective
July 1, 2008, further contributions to the CLARCOR Inc. Common Stock Fund
were frozen. The CLARCOR Inc. Common Stock Fund will close, and assets
therein liquidated, by December 31, 2009. Plan participants
have until such date to redirect their assets from this fund into other
investment options. In the absence of such designation, the
assets will be liquidated and reinvested in the target retirement fund
associated with their age group.
Effective
April 3, 2009, the Company's matching contribution changed from a
guaranteed to a discretionary match and the Company ceased making matches
on a per pay period basis. Any matches corresponding to periods
after April 3, 2009 would be made following the external audit of the
Company’s 2009 financial statements (expected to occur in January
2010).
