Corporate bonds consist primarily of investment grade bonds of U.S. issuers from diverse industries.
The fair value of the real estate, hedge funds and private equity investments represents the reported net asset
value of shares or underlying assets of the investment. Private equity and real estate investments are valued using
fair values per the most recent financial reports provided by the investment sponsor, adjusted as appropriate for
any lag between the date of the financial reports and the Company’s reporting date. The real estate investments
are diversified across property types and geographical areas primarily in the United States of America. Private
equity investments generally invest in limited partnerships in the United States of America and Europe. The
hedge fund investments are through a fund of funds approach.
Due to the nature of the underlying assets of the real estate, hedge funds and private equity investments,
changes in market conditions and the economic environment may significantly impact the net asset value of these
investments and, consequently, the fair value of the Pension Plan’s investments. These investments are
redeemable at net asset value to the extent provided in the documentation governing the investments. However,
these redemption rights may be restricted in accordance with the governing documents. Redemption of these
investments is subject to restrictions including lock-up periods where no redemptions are allowed, restrictions on
redemption frequency and advance notice periods for redemptions. As of January 29, 2011 and January 30, 2010,
certain of these investments are generally subject to lock-up periods, ranging from three to fifteen years, certain
of these investments are subject to restrictions on redemption frequency, ranging from daily to twice per year,
and certain of these investments are subject to advance notice requirements, ranging from sixty-day notification
to ninety-day notification. As of January 29, 2011 and January 30, 2010, the Pension Plan had unfunded
