  (12) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan covering all employees who are 21 years of age and have completed six months of service. Employees may contribute up to 15.0% of annual compensation. Company contributions to the plan are discretionary and vest over a six year period. The Company did not make a contribution to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In May 2013, the Company established the Skechers U.S.A., Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which allows eligible employees to defer compensation up to a maximum amount to a future date on a nonqualified basis. The Plan provides for the Company to make discretionary contributions to participating employees, which will be determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee. The Company did not make a contribution to the plan for the year ended December 31, 2014 or 2013. The value of the deferred compensation is recognized based on the fair value of the participants’ accounts as determined monthly. The Company has established a rabbi trust (the “Trust”) as a reserve for the benefits payable under the Plan. The assets of the Trust and deferred liabilities are presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
