Represents ACIs that were paid in February 2021 but granted and earned in 2020. The actual ACI amounts are reported in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table.” For all participants, the threshold, target, and maximum figures were calculated on a weighted-average basis, giving effect to the changes made to base salaries during 2020 (including the salary reductions that applied in 2020).
(2)
Represents RSs that vest annually over three years, beginning March 4, 2021, if such NEO remains employed by the Company on each annual vesting date or as otherwise provided under the Pilla Agreement. However, Mr. Hawkins became retirement eligible in 2020 and, accordingly, will continue to vest in the RS even if he departs the Company (except under certain circumstances described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control”). The grant date fair value of each award, which is reported in the “Stock Awards” column of the “Summary Compensation Table,” is equal to the number of shares multiplied by $50.91, the average of the opening and closing prices of the Common Stock on the grant date.
(3)
Represents PB-TSRs that vest at the end of the three-year performance period based on the ranking of the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of each of the companies in the Company’s peer group. The grant date fair value of each award, which is reported in the “Stock Awards” column of the “Summary Compensation Table,” is equal to the number of shares granted at target multiplied by $29.49, which was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the probable ranking of the Company’s TSR relative to a group of the Company’s peers, using the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date. Actual payout may be zero or range from 25% to 200% of the target shares granted.

Pension Benefits
The following table presents information concerning benefits payable under the Company’s PVP for Mr. Pilla, computed as of December 31, 2020. No other NEOs are entitled to receive any benefits under the PVP.
Name | Plan Name | Number of Years of
Credited Service | (1) | Present Value of
Accumulated Benefit ($) | (2) |
John A. Pilla | PVP | 24.0875 | | 879,374 | |
(1) Please note credited service was frozen in the PVP as of June 16, 2005. There is no policy that provides for granting extra years of credited service. (2) Present value was calculated based on the assumption that Mr. Pilla’s benefit commences at age 61.5. Key assumptions reflected in present value include a 2.31% discount rate, a cash balance interest crediting rate of 5.25%, and the life annuity form of payment. In order to determine changes in the present value reported in the “Summary Compensation Table,” the value was also calculated as of December 31, 2019. For values as of December 31, 2019, the discount rate was 3.19%. The present value was calculated assuming Mr. Pilla retires and commences receipt of benefits at age 61.5. The mortality assumption for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2020, is Mercer’s MILES-2010 generational mortality table for the Auto, Industrial Goods, and Transportation group with the MMP-2019 improvement scale. |
A significant portion of Spirit’s operations related to Boeing aerostructures was owned and controlled by Boeing until 2005. Boeing’s pension assets and liabilities were spun-off from Boeing’s qualified plans (each, a “Prior Plan”) into Spirit qualified plans for certain eligible Boeing employees who joined the Company. Credited service and benefit amounts under the Prior Plans were frozen as of June 16, 2005. Effective December 31, 2005, all Prior Plans were merged together into the PVP. The PVP is a frozen plan, so no additional employees may become participants in the PVP, and no current participants are accruing any additional benefits (except for the interest credits described below). The PVP is fully paid for by the Company, and the Company’s employees are vested after reaching five years of service.
Mr. Pilla is the only NEO who participates in the PVP. Mr. Pilla is fully vested in his benefits. Benefits under the PVP for Mr. Pilla are based upon heritage benefits transferred into the Prior Plan and a cash balance benefit. Heritage benefits were indexed (increased) for base pay increases from the date the heritage benefit transferred to the Prior Plan until June 16, 2005. Under the cash balance benefit formula, employees received benefit credits based on their age at the end of each plan year through June 16, 2005. The annual benefit credit was a specified percentage of eligible pay, ranging from 3% at ages younger than 30, to 11% upon reaching age 50. Eligible pay included base pay and executive incentive pay, limited to IRC Section 401(a)(17) limits. The benefit credits ceased upon freezing the Prior Plan; however, employees continue to receive interest credits each year. Interest credits are calculated by applying simple interest to the Prior Plan balance at the beginning of the year and are accrued until the pension benefit begins. Interest credits are based on the 30-year Treasury Rate as of November of the prior year, with a minimum of 5.25% and a maximum of 10%.
The PVP benefits are payable as a life annuity (other annuity options are also available). To determine a participant’s pension benefit, the participant’s accumulated benefits are divided by 11 and further divided by a factor of 12 to produce a monthly benefit.
The normal retirement age under the PVP is age 65. Participants who have at least 10 years of service and are at least age 55, or at least one year of service and are at least age 62, are eligible for early retirement. Mr. Pilla is currently 61.5 years of age and is eligible for early retirement. Projected annual benefits payable upon retirement as of December 31, 2020, are $48,380 for Mr. Pilla. If he retires at age 65, the annual benefit amount is $51,633. Note that, while Mr. Pilla is no longer serving as Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, he continues to serve in a Senior Advisor role for the Company and has not retired.
We also maintain the SERP, which provides supplemental, nonqualified retirement benefits to executives who (i) had their benefits transferred from a Boeing nonqualified plan to the SERP, and (ii) did not elect to convert their SERP benefit into phantom stock units as of June 17, 2005. Benefits under this plan were also frozen as of the date of the Boeing acquisition. There are no SERP annuity benefits payable to any of the NEOs. Mr. Pilla was a participant in the SERP, but elected to convert his SERP benefit as of June 17, 2005, into 16,023 phantom stock units. For additional information, see “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.”

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
The following table presents information concerning each of the Company’s defined contribution or other plans that provide for the deferral of compensation of the NEOs on a basis that is not tax-qualified. In addition, and as discussed above under “Pension Benefits,” Mr. Pilla was a participant in the SERP, but elected to convert his SERP benefit as of June 17, 2005, into 16,023 phantom stock units. Mr. Pilla’s vested and undelivered phantom stock units and accrued dividend equivalents are reflected below and may be settled in cash or shares on the earliest of his separation from service or a change in control (subject to the fulfillment of any applicable waiting period).

(1) These amounts represent participant contributions to the DCP and are included in the “Salary” column of the “Summary Compensation Table.” (2) These amounts represent Company contributions to the DCP and are included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table.” (3) Under the DCP, these amounts represent earnings on DCP balances from January 1 to December 31, 2020, and are not included in the “Summary Compensation Table.” For Mr. Pilla’s balance under the SERP, represents a decrease in value equal to the change in market value of 16,023 phantom stock units and accrued dividend equivalents under the SERP from December 31, 2019, to December 31, 2020. The change in market value of the phantom stock units for Mr. Pilla was calculated using the closing prices of the Common Stock on December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2020, respectively. (4) This amount includes $1,800,000 consisting of aggregate Company contributions prior to 2020 (reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” of prior year’s proxy statements). (5) This amount includes $400,000 consisting of aggregate Company contributions prior to 2020 (reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” of prior year’s proxy statements). (6) This amount includes $339,349 consisting of aggregate individual contributions prior to 2020 (reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” of prior year’s proxy statements, when Mr. Pilla was a NEO). (7) Represents the sum of (i) $626,339 which represents the 16,023 phantom stock units under the SERP multiplied by $39.09, the closing price of the Common Stock on December 31, 2020, and (ii) $23,714 in accrued dividend equivalents on the phantom stock units through December 31, 2020. |
More information on the DCP and SERP can be found under “Other Compensation Elements and Information” and “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” There were no “above-market” earnings (defined by SEC rule as that portion of interest that exceeds 120% of the applicable federal long-term rate) under the DCP during fiscal year 2020, as the Company used 120% of the applicable federal long-term rate to determine the amounts to be contributed.
