The company-paid survivor benefit, provided through the pension plan, will not continue to grow with service or pay after Dec. 31, 2007. The benefit employees will have earned up to that date will be fully preserved.
Effective January 1, 2007, new hires will participate in the enhanced savings plan. They will not be eligible to participate in the Pension and Retirement Plan and will not receive a company subsidy for retiree healthcare or retiree life insurance.
The changes do not affect DuPont's current U.S. retirees, former employees with vested benefits or current employees who retire or terminate prior to January 1, 2008.
