Visteon Salaried
Employee Transition to ACH
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What retirement savings plan do I contribute to
now that I have transferred to ACH?
A.
After your transfer to Automotive Components Holdings, LLC (ACH) you no longer contribute to the
Visteon Investment Plan (VIP). You are eligible to
contribute to the Ford Savings and Stock Investment Plan (SSIP).
Q. What happens to my VIP now that I have transferred to ACH?
A. Participants have four options for the account balance inside the VIP:
-
Roll the balance of your VIP into an IRA
-
Transfer the balance of your VIP to your new Ford SSIP
-
Do nothing; keep the balance in the VIP
-
Withdrawal your vested VIP balance (subject to any
applicable taxes and penalties)
Deciding what do to with the funds in your VIP is a very important decision. Contact Mainstay Capital Management at
1-866-444-6246 to discuss the pros and cons of each option and determine the
best solution for your personal situation.
Q. If I roll my VIP assets into my new Ford SSIP, can I
roll those same assets to an IRA at any time thereafter?
A. NO. Your VIP assets will be locked in the Ford SSIP until you reach
age 59 1/2 or separate from the company. Not until then can you roll these assets
back out of the Ford SSIP. Contact Mainstay Capital Management for details on
the “portability” rules that apply to your VIP assets.
Q. How is my loan provision affected by my transfer from
Visteon to ACH?
A. You will not be able to apply for a loan in the VIP after the
effective date of your transfer to ACH. If you choose to maintain the VIP after
your transfer and currently have an outstanding loan, you will be sent a coupon
book to continue making payments on any loan(s).
Q. Is there a company match in the Ford SSIP?
A. Ford, on behalf of ACH, will make matching contributions of 60 cents
on each dollar of payroll contributions up to 5% of base pay. (Subject to change
at any time.)
Q. What vesting date is used for the Ford SSIP?
A. ACH recognizes the time you were employed by Visteon and, if
applicable, by Ford prior to your ACH transfer for vesting purposes.
Q. How do I access my Ford SSIP?
A. Ford has recently changed plan administrators from Fidelity to
Affiliated Computer Services (ACS). Participants now utilize the ACS website to
access their Ford SSIP accounts. Contact Mainstay Capital Management for
assistance on utilizing the new ACS website and information on new trading rules
for your SSIP account.
