How does the Barings Non-Qualified Thrift Plan relate to MCI common shares?

The Barings Non-Qualified Thrift Plan lets eligible officers defer compensation into notional investment options. One option’s value is derived from Barings Corporate Investors’ common shares, including reinvested dividends, but the plan and participants hold no actual ownership interest in those shares.

When can Christina Emery access the notional units reported in the MCI Form 4?

The notional units in the Barings Non-Qualified Thrift Plan are exercisable only upon termination, retirement, or another plan-permitted event. Until such an event, the holding remains a deferred compensation balance rather than a currently exercisable security position.

Does the reported Barings Non-Qualified Thrift Plan transaction involve real MCI shares?

No. Footnotes state the derivative has no actual securities underlying the plan agreement and is entirely notional. Value tracks Barings Corporate Investors’ common shares, but neither the plan nor Emery directly owns those shares through this arrangement.

How are beneficially owned amounts calculated in MCI’s non-qualified deferral plans?

Beneficial ownership includes the number of Barings Corporate Investors shares represented by the value of the plan’s investment option tied to the stock. This reflects deferred compensation value, even though the plans and participants have no direct ownership of the underlying common shares.
