Visit Fidelity Investments to enroll or manage your account:
You are immediately eligible upon your date of hire. If you don’t take any enrollment action — either enrolling yourself or opting out — within 30 days of becoming eligible, you will be automatically enrolled at 6% of your eligible pre-tax salary and 6% of your pre-tax bonus pay.
You will be invested in the Target Date Fund that most closely matches your retirement date, based on an assumed retirement age of 65. You may change your contribution rate and investment elections at any time by calling Fidelity Investments at 800-835-5095 or you can make changes to your account online at Fidelity Investments.
You may contribute between 1% and 85% of your eligible pay to your plan account, up to annual IRS limits, including pre-tax and Roth contributions. In 2026 the IRS limits allow you to contribute up to:
These limits include your pre-tax contributions, Roth after-tax contributions, or a combination of both.
You also have the option of contributing to the plan with non-Roth after-tax money, up to 10% of your eligible pay, limited to $34,500 in 2026.

Company Contributions
WD has reinstated the 401(k) company match. Your pre-tax and Roth combined contributions will be matched at 50% of your first 6% in contributions, (subject to an IRS limit of $10,350 for 2026):
Example
The first regular pay date that Company match was applied was on January 2, 2026.
The WD plan provides a true-up match at year end. A true-up calculation ensures employees receive their full match of 50% of their first 6% of contributions. A true-up may be applied if an employee varied their contributions throughout the year and did not receive their full company match, or if they met the annual contribution limit before the year ended and were no longer able to contribute.
Our 401(k) Plan offers multiple ways to save for retirement. You have the option to contribute pre-tax, post-tax with Roth after-tax contributions, or a combination of both.
Pre-Tax Contributions Pre-tax contributions are deducted from your paycheck before taxes, allowing you to keep more of your take-home pay. However, you will have to pay taxes on both your contributions and earnings when you withdraw your money during retirement, potentially at a lower tax rate.
Roth After-Tax Contributions The money is deposited into your Plan account after taxes are withheld.
Although you pay taxes upfront, both your contributions and earnings can be withdrawn tax-free, provided that you meet two requirements:
If you are 50 years of age or older this year, you can take advantage of the opportunity to make up for lost time by contributing up to an additional $8,000 in catch-up contributions. Those aged 60 to 63 can contribute an additional $11,250 in place of the $8,000 in catch-up contribution in 2026.
You don't have to make a separate election to make catch-up contributions. The payroll system will continue to deduct your 401(k) contributions up to the contribution limit for 2026 based on your age, as long as you don't stop your election(s). You can check your Fidelity Investments account to see what percentage of your salary you are deferring.
Designating a beneficiary is crucial in ensuring that your WD Corporation 401(k) Plan account is given to the appropriate person in case of your untimely death. As life situations may change, it's important to keep this information updated. You can log in to your Fidelity Investments account to add or modify your beneficiary information.
Vesting refers to the amount of money that belongs to you and can be kept by you if you leave the company. You are fully vested in your own contributions, including any investment gains or losses.
All active employees are eligible for immediate vesting of the company match in the 401(k) Plan.
The money in your account is intended as a long-term investment to help you prepare for your financial needs in retirement. However, under certain circumstances, you may be able to access money from your account before reaching retirement age.
