Kellanova Pringles Savings And Investment Plan
Kellanova · Chicago, IL · EIN 380710690 · Plan 014 · Form 5500 for plan year 2024
What KELLANOVA put into the plan, per active participant
$5,815
KELLANOVA put $5,815 into this plan for each of its 1,120 active participants in plan year 2024. That is the whole employer side, matching money, profit sharing, non-elective and safe-harbor contributions and reallocated forfeitures together, because the Form 5500 reports them on one line, so it is not the match rate.
KELLANOVA put in more per active participant than 89% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants in food, beverage and tobacco manufacturing. The middle plan in that group of 255 reported $2,235. Food, beverage and tobacco comes from business code 311200, which KELLANOVA entered on its own Form 5500. Sponsors pick that code themselves, so a code that does not describe what the employer does ranks the plan against the wrong companies.
What this figure cannot separate: how much KELLANOVA pays, and how much it puts in
This is dollars, not a rate. A Form 5500 carries no payroll, so the figure reflects both how much the employer puts in and how much the employer pays: two plans running the same formula report different amounts when one pays better. Crossing the peer group with industry holds most of that difference still, and none of it disappears.
This is one plan year, not an average. A true-up, a plan merger or a one-off contribution moves a single year on its own.

What the plan cost, per participant
Not ranked
Schedule H reports $0 in plan-paid administrative expenses. That usually means the employer pays the bills directly, or that fees are netted inside fund assets, so the plan is not ranked on cost and $0 is not a cheap plan.
401(k) Monitor Score
Not scored
This filing reports one of the two amounts the score is built from, so it takes none. Schedule H reports $0 in plan-paid administrative expenses. That usually means the employer pays the bills directly, or that fees are netted inside fund assets, so the plan is not ranked on cost and $0 is not a cheap plan.
It keeps whichever of the two it does report, above. Nothing is filled in from an average, from another year or from another plan, because a two-part score computed on one part is a different measure wearing the same name.
What the score would read, on a filing that carries both: Where this plan stands against plans of its size and industry on two amounts its Form 5500 reports: employer money in per active person, and plan-paid cost per person. It reads no match formula, no vesting schedule and no fund lineup, because a Form 5500 states none of them.

The match and vesting terms, from a Form 11-K
The match formula and the vesting schedule are stated in a Form 11-K, which is filed only by employers whose plan holds company stock. A Form 5500 reports neither.
What KELLANOVA puts in
Not stated in the filing
The match rate is set at the company's discretion each year, and the filing does not state the rate it used.
Two places state the terms in full: your plan’s Summary Plan Description, which your employer must provide on request, and your recordkeeper’s site, the one you log in to for your balance.
What you contribute to collect all of it
Not stated in the filing
The filing does not state the contribution rate that collects the full employer contribution.
Vesting score
57.14 out of 100
How fast the employer’s money becomes yours. Higher than 4% of the 253 schedules we have scored.
It measures vesting speed and nothing else. It says nothing about the size of the match, what the plan charges, or the funds inside it.
Share of the employer's money that is the worker's at hire and at each of the first 6 anniversaries: 0%, 0%, 0%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%. The score is the average of those 7 readings.
Vesting, word for word
“Participant account balances are fully vested with regards to participant contributions. Participants who were hired as a result of the acquisition of Pringles Manufacturing Company are fully vested in any Discretionary Contributions made for them. Participants hired after June 1, 2012 are fully vested in any Discretionary Contributions made after completing three years of vesting service.”
The wait before the match starts and the year-end true-up appear above when the filing states them. Neither is part of the score, and a filing that is silent on one of them is not a plan without it.
What the plan costs, against plans of its size
Not reported
The Form 5500 filing does not report the plan-paid administrative expenses this figure needs.
The match, vesting and eligibility terms above are read from the Form 11-K filed by KELLANOVA, whose page states the full formula, the vesting schedule and the sentence behind each one.
What to check next
Your own numbers are not on this page
Every figure here is the whole plan for plan year 2024, taken from one filing and divided by headcounts. Your own contribution rate, your balance and the fees taken from your account are on your recordkeeper’s site. What you may put in during a year is set by the IRS and not by the plan: this year’s limits ↗.

Plan-paid administrative expenses
Schedule H reports $0 in plan-paid administrative expenses for this year. $0 usually means the employer pays the bills, or fees are netted inside fund assets. It does not mean the plan is free.

Service providers (Schedule C)
Not reported in filing. Plans with bundled or revenue-sharing arrangements often report no Schedule C provider compensation. Absence here is a reporting artifact, not a $0 cost.

Filings lag by design: a plan can file up to 9½ months after its year ends, so this is the newest data on file. Why filings lag
