Refer to Note 18 for a discussion of the three levels in the hierarchy of fair values. Plan assets measured at fair value with
significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted primarily of real estate
and limited partnership interests. Plan assets are generally invested with the long-term objective of earning amounts sufficient to
cover expected benefit obligations, while assuming a prudent level of risk. Allocations may change as a result of changing
market conditions and investment opportunities. The expected rates of return on Plan assets reflect subjective assessments of
expected invested asset returns over a period of several years. Generally, past investment returns are not given significant
consideration when establishing assumptions for expected long-term rates of returns on Plan assets. Actual experience will
differ from the assumed rates.
Benefits payments expected over the next ten years are as follows (in millions): 2014 – $787; 2015 – $802; 2016 – $805;
2017 – $816; 2018 – $823; and 2019 to 2023 – $4,253. Sponsoring subsidiaries expect to contribute $276 million to defined
benefit pension plans in 2014.
