1. | DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN | |
The following description of Florida Rock Industries, Inc. Profit Sharing and Deferred Earnings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plans provisions. | ||
General The Plan is a defined contribution retirement plan established by Florida Rock Industries, Inc. (Florida Rock) effective December 30, 1958. The Plan covers former employees of Florida Rock and affiliated companies which are party to the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). | ||
On November 16, 2007, Vulcan Materials Company (the Company) acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Florida Rock. In accordance with the merger agreement, Plan participants had the option to elect to receive $67 per share to be invested in the STI Classic Prime Quality Money Market Fund for each Florida Rock share held, or 0.63 of a share of common stock of the Company, subject to proration. The Plan ceased accepting new participants, allowing employee deferrals, and making employer matching contributions; however the profit sharing contribution attributable to the period from January 1, 2007 to the closing of the merger was made during the subsequent Plan year. | ||
Plan Administration The Plan is administered by the Company. The Plan Trustee is SunTrust, N.A. (Trustee). Permissible administrative expenses are paid by the Trustee out of the Plans gross investment income, unless the Company, at its discretion, agrees to pay such expenses. | ||
Participation and Vesting Generally, employees qualify to participate on the first day of employment service. |
- 5 -
Participants are fully vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Companys matching and profit sharing contributions was based on years of service as follows (prior to the full vesting that occurred in connection with the acquisition): |
Vested | ||||

1 |
0 | % | ||

100 |
Effective April 1, 2007, the Plan was amended to allow participants to immediately become 100% vested in their accounts in the event of a change in control, which occurred on November 16, 2007. | ||
Contributions Plan participants may elect to contribute a portion of their annual pre-tax compensation, as defined in the Plan document. The annual maximum deferral percentage for highly compensated employees is calculated based on the average actual deferral percentage of non-highly compensated employees for the prior plan year plus 2%. | ||
The Company provides a matching contribution of 50% of the first 6% of a participants annual pre-tax compensation. During 2007, the Company made matching contributions to the Plan of $3.5 million. | ||
The Company may provide a discretionary annual profit sharing contribution to the Plan in an amount determined by the Board of Directors. During 2007, the Company declared it would make discretionary profit sharing contributions to the Plan of $20.4 million. These amounts are reflected in employer contributions receivable in the statement of net assets. | ||
All contributions are subject to the limitations set forth in the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). | ||
Participant Accounts Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions, the employers matching contributions, investment earnings, and an allocation of the employers discretionary profit sharing contributions. Allocation of investment earnings is based on a participants account balance. Allocation of the Companys profit sharing contributions is based on a percentage of the participants Included Compensation as defined in the Plan document. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account. | ||
Participant Loans Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the vested portion of their account balance. The loans are secured by the balance in the participants account and bear interest at rates determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of approval (averaging 8.46% and 7.79% at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively). Principal and interest are paid over a stipulated period of time through payroll deductions. | ||
Payment of Benefits Upon termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant or beneficiary receives a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participants vested account interest. | ||
Forfeitures The nonvested portion of the Company contributions of a terminated participant shall be forfeited as of the date the vested portion is distributed or after the participant has incurred five consecutive one-year breaks in service. Other conditions of forfeiture allocations and restoration are defined within the Plan document. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan document, forfeitures are utilized first to pay Plan expenses and then allocated back to the remaining participants as additional Company contributions. | ||
Plan Termination In the event of Plan termination, the Company, by written notice to the Trustee and the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, may direct either: |
1. | Complete distribution of the assets in the Trust Fund to the participants or, |
- 6 -
2. | Continuation of the Trust and the distribution of benefits at such time and in such manner as though the Plan had not been terminated. |
Other Segregated Accounts The Plan received assets from the pension plans of certain merged subsidiaries at the time of their mergers. These assets were added to the general assets of the Plan, but the specific participant accounts are maintained in segregated accounts. | ||
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. | ||
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition Investments in marketable debt and equity securities, including common stock of the Company and Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (Patriot), that are traded on a national or over-the-counter exchange, are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the fiscal year; such securities traded in the over-the-counter market are stated at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. Investments in pooled investment funds, which are based on the net value of the fund at fair value, are valued at the unit value established by the Trustee. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value. | ||
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded as of the trade dates. Gains or losses on sales of securities are based on the cost of each specific security. Net appreciation or depreciation of investments is recorded to reflect changes in the fair value of investments. | ||
Dividend income is recognized on the basis of the ex-dividend date. Income from other investments is recognized as earned on an accrual basis. | ||
Benefit Payments Benefits are recorded when paid. | ||
Use of Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Plan invests in various securities including U.S. government securities, corporate debt instruments, and corporate stocks. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits. | ||
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 does not require new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by establishing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of information. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Plans management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 would have on the Plans financial position or results of operations. | ||
3. | INVESTMENTS | |
The Plans investments are held in a bank-administered trust fund. All of the Plans investment options are participant directed and participants may change their investment options at any time. All participants who have not made an investment election are deemed to have elected to have contributions made to their accounts invested in the STI Classic Prime Quality Money Market Fund. |

5. | PARTIES-IN-INTEREST | |
Certain Plan investments are either shares of mutual funds managed by the Trustee, common stock of the Company, or participant loans and are therefore considered to be transactions with parties-in-interest. Dividends on the common stock of Vulcan Materials Company totaled $157,976 during 2007. Dividends on the common stock of Florida Rock totaled $6,623 during 2007. During 2007, all administrative expenses of the Plan fees were paid out of the Plans forfeiture accounts. | ||
6. | TAX STATUS | |
The Plan uses a prototype plan document sponsored by SunTrust Bank (SunTrust). SunTrust received an opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), dated January 16, 2002, which states that the prototype document satisfies the applicable provisions of the IRC. The Plan itself has not received a determination letter from the IRS. However, the Plans management believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been included in the Plans financial statements. | ||
7. | REFUND OF EXCESS CONTRIBUTION | |
For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company determined that the Plan was not in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code 415(c) Maximum Annual Additions compliance test. As a result, the Plan was required to reimburse employees whose contributions exceeded the maximum percentage, as defined. The total to be refunded to employees at December 31, 2007 was $299,971, which was reimbursed to the respective employees during the subsequent Plan year. | ||
