DESCRIPTION OF PLAN: The following brief description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the plan document and Summary Plan Description for more complete information. General The Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation Savings Plan (the Plan), effective March 9, 1990, amended and restated effective January 1, 1997, is a contributory plan intended to comply with the provisions of Sections 401(a), 401(k), and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). All salaried nonbargaining employees of Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) are eligible to participate upon their hire date. Collective bargaining employees in Wilmerding and Greensburg are eligible to participate in the Plan, but are not eligible for employer matching contributions. Contributions Participants may contribute, through payroll deductions, employee elective contributions from 1% to 20% of their compensation, limited to $11,000 in 2002. In addition, participants may contribute employee after-tax contributions from 1% to 20% of their compensation in 2002. Employee contributions were limited to contributions up to 16% of their compensation in 2001. Participant total annual contributions may not exceed the contribution limits under Section 415(c) of the IRC. In addition, the combination of an employee's elective contribution and after-tax contribution could not exceed 20% and 16% of his/her compensation in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company makes an annual contribution of 3% of a nonbargaining participant's eligible compensation, as long as the Company employs the participant at December 31. In addition, the Company makes a matching contribution of up to 3% of the nonbargaining participant's contributions. Withdrawals Participants may make the following types of withdrawals: In-Service Withdrawals--A participant may withdraw any amount of the vested portion of his/her employer matching account, employer after-tax account, and rollover accounts once in any six-month period. Once a participant has reached age 59-1/2, he/she can withdraw any portion of his/her employee elective account. Hardship Withdrawals--In the case of hardship, as defined in the plan document, the participant can receive 100% of his/her employee elective account. Hardship withdrawals are limited to once every plan year. Employee contributions cannot be made to the Plan for a period of six months following the hardship withdrawal. Loans Participants may receive loans from the Plan. At no time shall the loans of the participant exceed the lesser of 50% of the value of the participant's vested balance of his/her accounts, reduced by any outstanding loan balance or $50,000. The loans bear interest based on prevailing commercial rates as determined quarterly by the plan administrator. The interest rates on participant loans range from 5.25% to 10.5%. 4 Vesting Employee contributions are at all times 100% vested and nonforfeitable. Plan participants become 100% vested in employer contributions after three years of service as described in the Summary Plan Description. Transfer In from Other Plans In 2002, assets allocated to plan participants who were previously part of the Wabtec Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan were transferred into the Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation Savings Plan. In 2001, salaried participants who were previously part of the Motive Power Industries, Incorporated Savings Plan, the Technical Service & Marketing Profit Sharing 401(k) and the Comet Industries, Incorporated 401(k) Savings Plan were transferred into the Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation Savings Plan. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Basis of Accounting The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting. Expenses incurred by the plan administrator, investment manager and trustee for their services and costs in administering the Plan are paid directly by the Company. Investments Investments are valued at their market values based on published quotes. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the financial statements for prior years have been reclassified to conform to statement presentation for the current year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets available for benefits. 3. INVESTMENTS Principles of Presentation The net assets of the Plan are held in a Master Trust (Trust). The Trust consists of the following plans at December 31, 2002: - - Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation Savings Plan - - Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation Supplemental Plan The Statements of net assets available for benefits present the assets held in the Trust for the benefit of the Plan's participants. Each of the plans shares pro rata in the commonly held investment of the Trust. Investment income and realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments are allocated to the Plan based upon the relationship of net assets of the Plan at the beginning of the reportable period to total net assets of the Trust. Cash and accrued income are allocated to the Plan based on the relationship of the Plan's investments to total investments. The Plan's net assets represent 96% of the net assets of the Master Trust. At December 31, 2002 and 2001 investments in the Master Trust are as follows: 5
December 31 2002 2001 ------------ ------------ Market value as determined by quoted market price: Corporate common stock $ 12,006,698 $ 3,318,104 Mutual funds 83,241,984 95,238,902 Participant loans 2,379,878 2,516,764 ------------ ------------ Total investments in Master Trust $ 97,628,560 $101,073,770 ============ ============
For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, investment income for the Master Trust is as follows:
Years ended December 31 2002 2001 ------------ ------------ Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments: Corporate common stock $ 1,139,109 $ 217,504 Mutual funds (15,724,925) (13,192,906) ------------ ------------ (14,585,816) (12,975,402) Interest & dividends 2,249,717 2,674,114 ------------ ------------ Total investment loss $(12,336,099) $(10,301,288) ============ ============
Investment Options The trustee of the investments is Fidelity Management Trust Company (Fidelity) per the Trust Agreement dated June 21, 1990. Fidelity maintains the investments and provides record-keeping functions for the Plan. Each participant's account, at the discretion of the participant, may be invested in a variety of funds. 4. PLAN TERMINATION: In the event the Plan is terminated, the Company will direct either (a) that the investment manager and trustee continue to hold the participants' accounts in accordance with the Plan, or (b) that the investment manager and trustee immediately distribute to each participant all amounts in the participant's account in a single lump-sum payment. 5. TAX STATUS The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated March 27, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 410 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator has indicated that it will take the necessary steps, if any, to maintain the Plan's qualified status. 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT Effective January 1, 2003, Service Center hourly employees, who were participants in the Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation Savings Plan for Hourly Employees (the Hourly Plan), were transferred into the Plan. Assets of $496,490, representing these participants' accounts, were transferred into the Plan from the Hourly Plan. 6 SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
