Deferred Compensation Plan
11. Deferred Compensation Plan:

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for key employees (the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan” or “NQDC”) which allows the participants to defer up to 25% of salary and commissions and up to 100% of bonuses to be paid during the year and invest these deferred amounts into certain Company directed mutual fund investments, subject to the election of the participants. The Company is permitted to make a 25% matching contribution on deferred amounts up to $10, subject to a five year vesting schedule.

As of Successor’s period ended December 31, 2014 and Predecessor’s year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included $2,244 and $4,386, respectively, in restricted investments representing the assets held in mutual funds to fund deferred compensation liabilities owed to the Company’s current and former employees. The current portion of the restricted investments was $494 and $2,856 as of Successor’s period ended December 31, 2014 and Predecessor’s year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

The assets held in the NQDC are classified as an investment in trading securities. The Company recorded trading gains and offsetting compensation expense of $43, $95, $364, and $329 for the Successor’s period ended December 31, 2014, Predecessor’s period ended June 29, 2014, and Predecessor’s years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
