401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan for Employees of NIKE, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2022 and 2021
If funded, an eligible profit sharing participant will receive an annual allocation of the
employer profit sharing contribution and profit sharing forfeitures after restoration of previously forfeited accounts. Employer profit sharing contributions and former participant forfeitures are allocated in the proportion of the
participants annual compensation to compensation of all participants subject to the IRC Section 415 defined maximum limitations.
Profit sharing investment income or losses and Plan expenses are allocated daily based on a ratio of each participants profit sharing
account balance to the total profit sharing account balances. Historically, participants have not directed the investment of profit sharing contributions. However, during the year ended May 31, 2021 the decision was made by the Retirement
Investment Committee to transfer investments held in profit sharing contributions from nonparticipant-directed to participant-directed investments.
The total benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested 401(k) and profit
sharing accounts.
Vesting
Participants in the 401(k) portion of the Plan are immediately vested in their elective, rollover, and Company matching contributions, plus
actual earnings thereon. The Companys contributions into the profit sharing portion of the Plan vest at 25 percent per year after completing two years of service, and vesting increases 25 percent for each additional year of service
until fully vested after five years. Participants in the profit sharing portion of the Plan become fully vested in the Companys contributions in the event of total and permanent disability, death, attainment of 65 years of age, or termination
of the Plan.
Forfeitures
Upon a participants termination, the unvested portion of the participants profit sharing account is forfeited. Profit sharing
forfeitures may be used to reduce future employer contributions or be allocated back to active participants at the Companys discretion. During the year ended May 31, 2022, no profit sharing forfeitures were used to reduce employer
contributions. At May 31, 2022 and 2021, accumulated profit sharing forfeitures totaled $3,834,756 and $2,872,019, respectively.
Notes Receivable From Participants
Participants may borrow a portion of their elective and rollover contributions by applying to the Plans record keeper. Participants may
borrow from their accounts amounts equal to the lesser of 50 percent of their vested account balance or $50,000 reduced by the balance of any outstanding loans. The term of the loan repayments ranges up to five years for general purpose loans
and up to ten years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participants account and bear interest at the prime rate plus one percentage point. Principal and interest are paid ratably through bi-weekly payroll deductions.
Benefit Payments
Upon termination of service due to death, disability, hardship, resignation, discharge and retirement, a participant is eligible to receive
payments in the amount equal to the value of the participants vested interest in his or her account.
Vested benefits are distributed
to participants in a lump-sum payment upon termination or are transferred to another qualified account. Participants with vested benefits greater than $1,000 can elect to receive a distribution or leave their
balance in the Plan. Participants may apply to the Plans record keeper to withdraw their voluntary 401(k) contributions in the event the participant is over age 59-1/2, or the participant has a financial
hardship as stipulated in the Plan provisions. No withdrawals may be made from the unvested portion of the Companys profit sharing contributions or earnings thereon.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, the accounts of all participants would become fully vested. The net assets of the Plan would be distributed among the participants and beneficiaries of the Plan
in proportion to their interests after proper allocation of any Plan expenses incurred upon termination.
