Visteon has announced the Visteon Pension Accelerated Payment Program. This program will offer approximately 10,000 eligible retirees a voluntary lump sum pension benefit payment option. By taking advantage of the lump sum pension payment option, Visteon retirees may reduce many potential pension risks including longevity risk due to inflation, tax risk, and mortality risk. Most importantly it will completely eliminate "PBGC risk" - the risk that monthly pension payments are someday reduced by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

Visteon retirees that are being presented with these new pension payment options will have only a short window in which to make their decision. if you are considering the pension lump sum offer, review Mainstay's “Pension Lump Sum Buyout Program” summary and visit our “In The News” section to review recent articles discussing pension lump sum payments.

Visteon has announced that they will “freeze” the Visteon Pension Plan (VPP) effective December 31, 2011. As of this date, no further cash balance pay credits will be earned and an employee’s base pay as of December 31, 2011 will be used to calculate their pension payment. In conjunction with the VPP freeze, Visteon also announced an increase in the company match to the Visteon Investment Plan (VIP). Effective January 1, 2012, Visteon will match 100% of employee contributions up to 6% of base pay. Previously, the match was 25% of employee contributions up to 6% of base pay.

Visteon employees that are not currently contributing to the Visteon Investment Plan (VIP) will be automatically enrolled on January 1, 2012. These participants will be enrolled at a contribution rate of 3% of annual pay. Every January 1^st thereafter, this automatic enrollment will take place for all eligible employees that are not contributing. In addition, for those VIP participants that are contributing but at a level less than 6%, Visteon will increase their contribution rate by 1% each January 1^st until they reach the 6% level. This is to encourage all VIP participants to take full advantage of the company match. Participants will have the opportunity to opt out of both the automatic enrollment and the contribution increase each year.

Mainstay recommends all VIP participants contribute a minimum of 6% to maximize the company match. Call Mainstay Capital Management toll-free at 1-866-444-6246 to discuss these changes or your personal situation with one of our Certified Financial Planners^TM.

Visteon has announced the reinstatement of the company match in the Visteon Investment Plan (VIP). Effective April 1, 2011, Visteon will match 25% of employee contributions up to 6% of base pay. For employees that elect to contribute at least 6%, this will equate to a 1.5% company match contribution each payroll cycle.

While your personal retirement plan may already call for a contribution level higher than 6%, Mainstay recommends that all Visteon salaried employees contribute a minimum of 6% to the VIP to maximize the company contribution.

Visteon has announced that effective January 1, 2011 a Roth 401(k) feature is being added to the VIP 401(k). This Roth feature within the VIP 401(k) gives employees added savings options within their retirement plan. Employees will now have the flexibility to direct contributions among both types of 401(k) accounts as their current and future tax situation dictates. For those VIP participants who are ineligible for a Roth IRA due to income limitations, the addition of the Roth 401(k) feature provides an opportunity to build a tax-free retirement income source.

Visteon also announced, effective immediately, the removal of the 10% maximum on the Spillover election in the VIP.

Tuesday, August 31^st Visteon Corporation won confirmation of its Chapter 11 reorganization plan. Visteon first entered bankruptcy in March of 2009 and although there was speculation that Visteon would hand their pension plans over to the PBGC, they were able to structure a reorganization plan that would eliminate the need to do so. Although the details are not yet final, Visteon expects to exit bankruptcy by the end of September.
