"The court acknowledged that NCR's offering of a lump sum to replace the plan-prescribed annuities was not by itself wrongful....

The word 'any' was key; a lump sum would violate the plan if it 'led to a reduction in the amount of the life annuity of even a single participant.' " [Hoak v. Ledford, No. 24-12148 (11th Cir. Aug. 26, 2025)]  MORE >>
