Employer Stock and 404(c)

[Guest IRISH79]

Employer plan sponsor makes available full spectrum of investment options, including employer stock. Employer does not allow participants voting rights w/r/t the employer stock. Does this cause plan sponsor to loose all 404© protection, or can the plan be 404© compliant with respect to all of the investment options excluding the employer stock?

the commentators/experts say no..the employer only losses 404© protection for that investment.
