What happens to my pension with Time Warner? Does 55 years of age 10 years of Service still count toward early retirement under the pension plan?
|
The Time Warner Pension Plan (US) is frozen and is protected under ERISA. The definition of "early retirement" under the Time Warner Pension Plan requires that an employee reach age 55 and 10 years of service at retirement. Please contact Fidelity for Pension-related questions.

Are employees allowed to buy TWX shares? Or is it considered insider trading? The current share price is below the AT&T deal price so it seems like a good opportunity to buy. Thanks.
|
In general under U.S. securities law, an employee of Time Warner or the divisions must determine if he or she has "material non-public information" about the Company. If an employee has material non-public information about the Company, he/she may not trade (buy or sell) Time Warner (TWX) common stock or debt securities or any derivative security based on TWX securities.
Some senior officers of Time Warner and the divisions are also subject to further requirements under Time Warner's supplemental trading policies that further limit their ability to trade Time Warner securities. Those employees have been informed previously of the additional obligations and restrictions.
