Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants of

The Bristol-Myers Squibb Company

Savings and Investment Program and the Bristol-Myers Squibb

Company Savings Plan Committee

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Savings and Investment Program (the “Program”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Program’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Program is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Program’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Program as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2008 the Program adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at year end) as of December 31, 2008 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Program’s management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2008 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PROGRAM

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND RELATED INFORMATION

Description of the Program – The Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Savings and Investment Program (the Program) is a defined contribution plan sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (the Company). The Program is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), which includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement, as defined by Section 401(k) of the Code, and is an employee benefit plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

The description of the Program in the following Notes provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Program’s governing document and/or Summary Program Description for a more complete description of the Program’s provisions.

Program Administration – The Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Savings Plan Committee (the Committee) is the Program Administrator, as defined by ERISA, of the Program and named fiduciary with respect to Program assets. Fidelity Employer Services Company provides recordkeeping services with respect to the Program. The assets of the Program are maintained in the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Savings Plan Master Trust (the Savings Plan Master Trust), of which Fidelity Management Trust Company (Fidelity Trust) serves as directed trustee.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – Effective January 1, 2008, the Program prospectively adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, for financial assets and liabilities and any other assets and liabilities carried at fair value. This pronouncement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Program’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 relating to financial assets and liabilities did not have a material effect on the Program’s financial statements, see “—Note 3. Fair Value Measurement.”

Investment Valuation – The assets of the Program, as well as the assets of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Employee Incentive Thrift Plan (the Thrift Plan) and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Puerto Rico, Inc. Savings and Investment Program (the Puerto Rico Program) are maintained in the Savings Plan Master Trust, see “—Note 6. Savings Plan Master Trust.” For a discussion of the valuation policies for each investment class, see “—Note 3. Fair Value Measurement.”

Income Recognition – Interest, dividends, and realized and unrealized gains and losses earned from participation in the Savings Plan Master Trust are allocated to the Program based upon participants’ account balances and activity. This investment activity is presented on a net basis on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits as the Program’s share of net investment loss in the Savings Plan Master Trust and is accounted for as follows:

 

   

Interest is accrued by the Savings Plan Master Trust as earned.

 

   

Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

   

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded by the Savings Plan Master Trust on a trade-date basis.

 

   

Realized gains and losses for security transactions are reported using the average cost method.

Expenses – All expenses incurred by the Program, other than investment management and trustee fees, which are paid from each Savings Plan Master Trust fund’s assets, are paid by the Company. Management fees charged to the Program for investments in the mutual funds are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Consequently, management fees are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments.

SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PROGRAM

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, based on complex judgments that are considered reasonable, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of additions and deductions to the net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results may or may not differ from estimated results.

Financial Instruments and Investments – The Program’s Savings Plan Master Trust holds various investment instruments. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in value of investment securities, it is reasonably possible that significant changes in the values of investment securities could occur in the near term and such changes could have a material adverse effect on the Program’s financial statements.

Income Taxes and Tax Status – In the Program’s latest determination letter dated July 8, 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stated that the Program, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Although the Program has been amended and restated since receiving the determination letter, the Program Administrator believes, to the best of its knowledge, that the Program is currently designed and operated in material compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and ERISA, and that the Program and Savings Plan Master Trust continue to be exempt from federal income taxes pursuant to Section 501 of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Program’s financial statements. Contributions made by participants on a pre-tax basis, the Company’s matching contributions, and the earnings thereon are not included in participants’ gross income for purposes of federal income taxes until distributed from the Program.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

As stated in “—Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” on January 1, 2008, the Program prospectively adopted the methods of fair value as described in SFAS No. 157 to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in SFAS No. 157, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Program utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Savings Plan Master Trust’s investment valuation policies per investment class are as follows:

 

   

The Company Stock Fund is valued based upon quoted prices of underlying assets. The Company Stock Fund consists primarily of shares of common stock of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and are valued based upon quoted prices at the last reported sales price at the end of the year, or, if there was not a sale that day, the last reported bid price. From time to time, the Program may invest in U.S. Government obligations or other investments of a short-term nature, which will ultimately be used for the purchase of shares of common stock of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. Such investments are valued at cost plus interest earned, which approximates fair value.

SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PROGRAM

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (Continued)

 

   

Mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Program at year end.

 

   

Common/collective trust (CCT) fund values are determined daily by the respective fund manager and represent the net asset value of the underlying investments within the respective CCT’s. The net asset value represents the price at which Program participants would transact their respective CCT interest at any point in time.

 

   

Money market instruments are valued at cost plus interest earned, which approximates fair value.

 

   

Fully benefit-responsive investment contracts (Group Annuity Contracts) in the Fixed Income Fund are stated at fair value within the Program interest in Savings Plan Master Trust line item and then adjusted on a separate line item to contract value as reported to the Program by such insurance companies in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. Fair value of the contracts is calculated by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations. Contract value represents contributions made to the fund, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals.

At any point in time, the Fixed Income Fund’s average yield will be a combined rate based upon the balances and the interest rates of the investments which comprise the fund, and depends on the amount of contributions invested in the fund, the amounts withdrawn from the fund and the amounts transferred to and from the fund. The fund’s average yield is measured by investment performance using general market reporting methods. The average yield of the Program’s share of the Fixed Income Fund for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was 4.5% and 4.6%, respectively. The crediting interest rate of the Fixed Income Fund as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 was 4.1% and 4.7%, respectively. The crediting interest rate at any date is the weighted-average of the yields on the individual contracts and other investments in the Fixed Income Fund on that date.

Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.

From time to time, the Fixed Income Fund may invest in obligations of the U.S. Government or its agencies, bank investment contracts, other investments of a short-term nature and/or investments in qualified commingled trust funds managed by the trustee for the investment of funds of profit sharing and savings plans and programs. Such investments are valued at cost plus interest earned, which approximates fair value.

 

   

The value of outstanding participant loans is determined based on the outstanding principal balance as of the last day of the Program year, which approximates fair value.

For information on the fair value hierarchy, by level described above, of the Program’s Savings Plan Master Trust’s investments measured at fair value, see “—Note 6. Savings Plan Master Trust.”

NOTE 4 PROGRAM PARTICIPATION

Employee Eligibility – Any employee who meets certain service requirements, as defined in Article II; Section 2.1 of the Program document, is eligible to participate in the Program. Employees who are or may become eligible to participate in the Program (participants) may participate in the Program following their date of hire, although the Company matching contributions do not begin until an eligible employee has attained six months of service as prescribed by the Program.

Employee Contributions – Participants can elect to contribute up to 25% of his or her annual benefit salary or wages (as defined in the Program) on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis, in all events, subject to IRS annual limits and non-discrimination test results. Effective November 1, 2008, the Program was amended to add an annual increase feature, thereby allowing participants to schedule an automatic increase in their pre-tax and/or after-tax contributions to the Program of 1% to 3% annually, subject in all events to the Program’s maximum deferral rate of 25%.

Automatic Contributions – Effective November 1, 2008, the Program was amended to add an automatic enrollment feature. Under this feature, if an eligible employee hired on or after November 1, 2008 does not make a pre-tax and/or after-tax contribution election within his or her first 180 days of employment (from date of hire), the Company will automatically start making contributions to the Program in his or her name at the rate of 6% of his or her annual benefit salary or wages through pre-tax salary reductions starting with the first payroll period after the date that is 180 days after his or her date of hire. These contributions will be identical to pre-tax contributions elected by a participant, including immediate 100% vesting and matched on the same terms. The participant may change the contribution rate, including ceasing all elective contributions, and may elect after-tax or a combination of pre-tax and after-tax elective contributions at any time. In the absence of an affirmative investment direction from the participant, 100% of the automatic contribution will be invested in the qualified default investment alternative, which as of November 1, 2008, is the T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds for retirement in the year closest to the year in which the participant would attain age 65 assuming he or she survived at least until his or her 65th birthday.

Employer Contributions – The Company contributes a matching contribution equal to 75% of pre-tax and/or after-tax contributions up to 6% of the participant’s annual benefit salary or wages elected by a participant at the time of the employee contribution. All contributions are recorded on an accrual basis.

Investment Decisions – The Program gives participants the opportunity to direct the manner in which contributions made to the Program in their name, including matching contributions, and earnings thereon, are invested among a variety of investment funds. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, contributions were invested in any one or more of the funds which comprise the Savings Plan Master Trust, see “—Note 6. Savings Plan Master Trust.” Through November 1, 2008, the default fund for Company matching contributions for participants who do not actively designate a fund for their Company matching contributions was the Fidelity Retirement Money Market Portfolio. Subsequent to November 1, 2008, the default fund for all contributions as to which no affirmative investment direction is given was changed to the qualified default investment alternative, which as of November 1, 2008, is the T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds for retirement in the year closest to the year in which the participant would attain age 65 assuming he or she survived at least until his or her 65th birthday.

Catch-up Contributions – The Program allows for catch-up contributions for participants who are 50 years of age or older. Catch-up contributions are intended to give “catch-up eligible” participants the opportunity to make additional pre-tax contributions over the applicable IRS and Program limits. The catch-up contribution itself was limited to $5 thousand in 2008 and 2007. Catch-up contributions (if elected) are deducted at the same time as all other contributions and the annual limit is indexed for inflation by the IRS. There is no Company match on catch-up contributions.

Participant Accounts – Each participant’s account under the Program is credited with the participant’s elected pre-tax and/or after-tax contributions, the Company’s matching contribution, and the participant’s respective share of Program earnings and is charged with participant withdrawals and distributions, and the participant’s respective share of Program losses. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the participant’s vested Program account.

NOTE 4 – PROGRAM PARTICIPATION (Continued)

Participant Loans – While employed, a participant may request a loan from the Program. The amount of the loan may not exceed the lesser of (1) 50% of the participant’s entire vested interest under the Program, determined as of the valuation date, or (2) $50 thousand less the highest outstanding loan balance during the previous 12 months. As permitted by IRS regulations and the terms of the Program, loans are secured by the balance in the participant accounts and bear interest at rates set by the Committee. Repayments and interest are credited to the Program account of the participant.

Withdrawals Prior to Retirement – While employed, a participant may withdraw all or part of the employee and vested employer contributions, subject to certain restrictions imposed pursuant to the Program and excise taxes imposed by the Code.

Vesting – Matching contributions vest at the rate of 20% for each year of qualifying service. In addition, upon becoming eligible for benefits under the Company’s long-term disability benefits plan, death or normal retirement, or, as of January 1, 2008, a “change in control” as defined in the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Change in Control Separation Benefits Plan, a participant will become 100% vested in matching contributions regardless of his or her years of service. A participant is always 100% vested in pre-tax, after-tax, rollover contributions from other plans and catch-up contributions as well as earnings thereon.

Forfeitures – If a participant’s employment terminates before he or she become fully vested, the unvested portion of matching contributions credited to his or her account are forfeited and may be used to reduce future matching contributions or pay expenses of Program administration. Forfeitures totaled $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2008, matching contributions were reduced by $0.7 million from forfeitures. Participants who return to work for the Company who were partially or fully vested prior to their termination will be reinstated to their previous level of vesting and may immediately enroll in the Program.

Termination of Employment and Payment of Benefits – Upon the termination of employment, the participant, or in the event of his or her death, the participant’s spouse or designated beneficiary, may, under varying circumstances, receive (1) a lump sum payment, (2) installment payments for a period between two and 15 years, and in the event there are minimum required distributions, the installment payment shall not exceed the joint life expectancy of the participant and the participant’s spouse (five years if payment is by reason of death), or (3) an annuity for employees hired prior to October 1, 1994. In each case the payment will be based on the vested value in the respective funds allocated to the participant.

Net Transfers – A participant’s account may be transferred to or from another qualified defined contribution plan sponsored by the Company if his or her employment status changes such that he or she becomes eligible to participate in a different plan. A participant’s account could also be transferred to another company’s qualified defined contribution plan if required by the terms of a Company transaction. Similarly, new accounts could be transferred in from another company’s qualified defined contribution plan, if required under the terms of a business acquisition. For a discussion of significant transfer activity, see “—Note 5. Other Significant Program Activity.”

Payment of Benefits – Benefit payments are recorded upon distribution. There were no amounts allocated to accounts of persons who have elected to withdraw from the Program but have not yet been paid as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Termination of the Program – Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it has the right to discontinue its contributions, amend, and terminate the Program at any time in its sole discretion in accordance with the provisions of ERISA. If the Program is terminated, the interest of each participant in all funds will vest immediately.

NOTE 5 OTHER SIGNIFICANT PROGRAM ACTIVITY

In January 2008, the Company completed the divestiture of its Medical Imaging business to Avista Capital Partners L.P. (Avista). In June 2008, there was an asset transfer of approximately $0.7 million from the Program to a qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Avista for 20 participating employees affected by this transaction who processed a “Voluntary Elective Transfer” through the Program. The remaining terminated employees, who became 100% vested in Program assets, elected to leave their Program accounts with the Program.

In August 2008, the Company completed the divestiture of its ConvaTec business to Cidron Healthcare Limited, an affiliate of Nordic Capital Fund VII and Avista. In August 2008, there was a trust-to-trust asset transfer of approximately $64 million from the Program to a qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Avista. This transfer represents all Program assets associated with those ConvaTec employees involved in this transaction, all of whom became 100% vested in Program assets.

Effective November 1, 2008, the Jennison Associates Small Capital Core Equity Fund was added to the Program as an investment fund available to participants and replaced the Managers Special Equity Fund.

Effective November 1, 2008, the T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds were added to the Program as the qualified default investment alternative.

NOTE 6 – SAVINGS PLAN MASTER TRUST

The Program’s investment assets are held in the Savings Plan Master Trust. The Savings Plan Master Trust is a tax-exempt collective trust described in Revenue Ruling 81-100. The Program’s share of the Savings Plan Master Trust’s net assets and investment activities is based upon the total of each individual participant’s share of the Savings Plan Master Trust.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits of the Savings Plan Master Trust were as follows (The balances as of December 31, 2008 are presented by Level in accordance with SFAS No. 157.

SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PROGRAM

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 7 – FIXED INCOME FUND

The Program mandates offering a Fixed Income Fund as an investment fund available to participants. As the Fixed Income Fund, the Savings Plan Master Trust holds Group Annuity Contracts in several fully benefit-responsive investment contracts with various insurance companies within the Fixed Income Fund under which the insurance companies provide a guarantee of principal and credit interest at a guaranteed rate. The insurance companies maintain the contributions in a general account, which is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Each contract is presented in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits at fair value within the Program interest in Savings Plan Master Trust line item and then adjusted on a separate line item in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits to contract value as reported to the Program by such insurance companies per Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, Investment Companies INV-1 and Statements of Position 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. Program management believes that the occurrence of events that would cause the Program to transact at less than contract value is not probable. The insurance companies may not terminate a contract at any amount less than contract value.

The fully benefit-responsive investment contracts held in the Fixed Income Fund as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

NOTE 7 – FIXED INCOME FUND (Continued)

The insurance companies are contractually obligated to pay the principal and specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Program. All contracts pay interest on a net basis. The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer, but may not be less than the percentage based on the individual contracts which range during 2008 from 2.98% to 5.86%. The average yields for investment contracts with insurance companies on an overall Savings Plan Master Trust level for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

 

    

2008

  

2007

Average yields:

     

Based on annualized earnings (1)

   4.17%    4.64%

Based on interest rate credited to participants (2)

   4.17%    4.64%

 

(1)

Computed by dividing the annualized one-day actual earnings of the contract on the last day of the Program year by the fair value of the investments on the same date.

(2)

Computed by dividing the annualized one-day earnings credited to participants on the last day of the Program year by the fair value of the investments on the same date.

NOTE 8 – ERISA LITIGATION AND SECURITIES LITIGATION

In August 2006, $7.2 million of settlement proceeds were received by the Program in the following matters: In re BMS Securities Litigation, 02 Civ. 2251 (LAP) (S.D.N.Y.), U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission v. BMS. No. 04-3680 (FSH) (D.N.J.), and Deferred Prosecution Agreement, executed June 15, 2005, between the Company and the U.S. Department of Justice. This amount represented approximately 80% of total settlement proceeds to be received by the Program and was allocated and posted to the Program accounts of eligible class members in August 2006. In November 2008, the Court approved the release of the remaining net settlement proceeds of approximately $2.94 million to the Savings Plan Master Trust. The Program’s share of the net settlement proceeds approximated $2.82 million and will be distributed, allocated and posted to the Program accounts in 2009. The Program’s share of the net settlement proceeds were treated as a settlement receivable on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits as of December 31, 2008.

In June 2006, U.S. Trust Company, N.A., as independent fiduciary for the Qualified Plans, submitted a proof of claim in connection with the settlement of the securities class action captioned In re BMS Securities Litigation, No. 00-1990 (N.J). In the second quarter of 2008, the Court approved a distribution order authorizing the distribution of the net settlement proceeds. Total net settlement proceeds distributed to the Savings Plan Master Trust in August 2008 approximated $1.83 million. The Program’s share of these net settlement proceeds approximated $1.70 million.

NOTE 9 – EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain Program investments are shares in registered mutual funds or units in pooled investment funds managed by affiliates of Fidelity Trust through the Savings Plan Master Trust. The transactions involving the registered mutual funds are exempt party-in-interest transactions pursuant to the Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 77-4 and the transactions involving the pooled investment funds are exempt party-in-interest transactions pursuant to Section 408(b)(8) of ERISA. The Program also invests in shares of the Company. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Program held 24.3 million shares and 25.4 million shares, respectively, of Company common stock with a cost basis of $559.3 million and $607.7 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Program recorded dividend income on the Company’s common stock of $37.2 million. The transactions in Company common stock were exempt party-in-interest transactions pursuant to Section 408(e) of ERISA. In addition, certain Program participants borrowed from the Program. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the outstanding loans of the Program participants were $17.3 million and $20.7 million, respectively, with interest rates ranging from 5.0% to 10.5% and varying maturity dates. Program participants are a party-in-interest to the Program and these loans were exempt party-in-interest transactions pursuant to Section 408(b)(1) of ERISA.
