Twelfth Amendment to Kaiser Group International, Inc. Section 401(k) Plan
This amendment to the Kaiser Group International, Inc. Section 401(k) Plan updates the rules for distributing small account balances. Effective March 28, 2005, if a participant is due a mandatory distribution over $1,000 and does not choose a direct payment or rollover, the company will automatically roll the funds into an individual retirement plan selected by the company. This change ensures compliance with recent legal requirements regarding the cash out of small benefits. The amendment was executed by the company's Chief Executive Officer.
