The Company records its pension assets at fair value as described in Note 4FairValueMeasurement.The following is a description of the Pension Plan’s
investments at fair value and valuation methodologies:
Common/collectivetrusts The fair values of the underlying funds in the common/collective trusts are valued based on the unit value established
for each fund at each valuation date. The unit value of a collective investment fund is calculated by dividing the fund's net asset value on the
calculation date by the number of units of the fund that are outstanding on the calculation date, which is derived from observable purchase and
redemption activity in the collective investment fund.
Real estate The Pension Plan trust holds an investment in a real estate development project. The fair value of this investment represents the
estimated fair value of the plan’s related ownership percentage in the project based upon an appraisal of the underlying real property as of each
balance sheet date. The fund investment strategy for this asset is long-term capital appreciation.
