Hoping to be able to import this existing document from Sungard into FT William. Any ideas are appreciated!

@Bri thanks for your help! Makes sense to me. 🙂

Maybe a dumb question, but I haven't found anything concrete on the IRS website that shows how one proceeds with freezing a plan in the case of a merger, only that it's an option. Does freezing it require an amendment to the plan, or will a notice to current participants suffice (similar to a black-out period)?

Have a bit of a weird scenario here and unsure how to proceed. We are getting ready to onboard Company X, who will be offering its employees a 401k for the first time. However, Company X acquired Company Y recently in a total stock purchase. Company Y has an existing Safe Harbor plan. Our belief is that Company X is now the sponsor of that plan. Is that correct? It isn't a merger of plans because there was no plan at Company X to merge with. If Company X is in fact now the sponsor of that Company Y plan, how can we get rid of the Safe Harbor provisions (Company X did not want a Safe Harbor plan)? Are Company X's employees eligible for the plan right now if they meet the general eligibility requirements? We believe yes. Can the SECURE Act provisions around Safe Harbor be utilized here for making a midyear change? Thanks in advance for any insight or suggestions!
