"If there are no HCE's who are left participating in a DB/DC combo plan (an odd situation, I know, and it may just be a 1 year aberration), how would that impact the Gateway? Is it still the 7.5% or can that be reduced dramatically? The employer is going through some turmoil and change over so just want to make sure what we can/can't do."
