Hybrid plans incorporate elements of both defi ned benefit and defined contribution plans but are treated as defi ned benefi t plans. They often
express benefi ts in terms of an account balance. The two most common types of hybrid plans are Cash Balance Plans and Pension Equity Plans.
2004 fi gures are estimates from PBGC internal calculations. 2003 fi gures reported last year have been updated to reflect actual Form 5500 fi lings.
