The question on the ballot
As filed
Thompsongas 401(k) match and balances, from the filing
- Company money in
- about $1,780 per active participant
- $2m in plan year 2024
- Employees saved
- about $4,330 each
- $6m in plan year 2024
- Average balance
- $28,500
- 1,410 people with a balance
- In the plan
- $40m
- at the end of plan year 2024
Company money is the match plus any other employer contributions, averaged over all 1,370 active participants, including anyone who did not contribute. The filing reports dollars, not the match formula; the plan’s summary plan description states the formula.
1,410 people have a balance in the Thompsongas 401(k), and it holds $40m. Of the $39m whose vehicle the plan reports, 82.2% sits in funds that publish no record of how they voted your shares — collective trusts and separate accounts, which unlike a mutual fund file no Form N-PX and leave no public trace of a single vote.

Every asset class the plan itemised on Schedule H, straight from the filing. These are categories, not fund names: Schedule H asks what KIND of vehicle the money is in, never which one, which is why no fund is named on this page.
Why there is no list of Thompsongas’s funds anywhere
Some employers file a Form 11-K with the SEC each year, and it contains a schedule naming every investment in the 401(k), fund by fund. Thompsongas does not file one, and that is not an oversight: a plan only has to file an 11-K when interests in it are registered securities, which in practice means the 401(k) offers a company stock fund. Plans that pay equity as RSUs outside the plan, as most large technology employers do, never trigger the requirement.
So the only public account of this plan is the Form 5500 above, which reports what categories the money sits in and never which funds. That is the whole reason this page can tell you 82.2% of the identified money votes in secret and cannot tell you which manager cast those votes.
Why the secrecy, and what you can do
A mutual fund has to file Form N-PX every year listing every vote it cast on your behalf. A collective investment trust does not. It is a bank-run vehicle sold only inside retirement plans, it is cheaper, and it is now where most 401(k) default money sits — including most target-date funds, which is where savers who never chose anything are put.
Check whether your plan offers any registered mutual fund as an alternative — those publish their records, and you can read them here. If it does not, the menu itself is the thing that has to change, and that is a decision made by the plan’s fiduciary committee, not by you alone.
