The value of the ESOP shares is determined by the total appraised value of the company at the end of each fiscal year.
ESOPs are regulated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act [ERISA], a federal law that sets minimum standards for investment plans in private industry.Complemented by a strong foundation of diverse companies and 18,000 employees corporate-wide, Houchens Industries is listed by Forbes as one of the largest 100% employee-owned companies in the world.
The ESOP retirement plan exists at no cost to employees.
