ABOUT DRM'S
Employee Stock Ownership Plan

WHAT IS AN ESOP?

Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) are a type of retirement plan that allow employees to become part-owners of the company they work for. Employees who participate in an ESOP accumulate company shares in their ESOP accounts over time as part of their compensation package - they never have to contribute any funds themselves to purchase shares.

When they retire or leave the company, they can request a distribution which cashes out the shares at their current market value.

WHY IT MATTERS.

Not only does the ESOP provide retirement benefits to employees, it promotes an ownership culture among employees who now receive direct financial benefits based on company performance and, by extension, their work!

OUTPERFORM

Our ESOP unites our employees to strive for excellence and outperform our competitors.

"Being an employee owner has put a renewed focus and incentive on productivity, quality, and my positive behavior at work. I know that the better I do my job the better our company share price will perform, and that makes me excited to come to work and perform my best."

ESOP FAQ

I’ve never heard of an ESOP? What is it?

An ESOP is a type of retirement account that is 100% sponsored by the employer. Employees are awarded company stock shares annually where the investment grows tax-free until distribution.

Who can participate in an ESOP?

Our ESOP is open to every employee in the company. And is available at no cost to them.

How long do I have to wait to access the funds in my account?

We do have a vesting period of 3 years. After that, you can seek a distribution if you leave the company or retire.

What if I want to add to my ESOP account? Can I buy shares on my own?

No. The ESOP is funded entirely by your employer. We do offer a 401K with a match that you can participate in if you want to save more for retirement.

When can I withdraw funds from my ESOP account?

Your ESOP account is a retirement benefit. You will be eligible to make withdrawals after age 65.

How much does the ESOP cost to the employee?

Nothing! The ESOP is 100% sponsored by the employer.

How can I improve the ESOP value?

Employees can improve the ESOP value just like an owner might to their own company: being dedicated to customer service, making improvements in time management, reducing expenses and waste, and making improvements in risk management, to name a few.
