Table of Contents
2013, we do not believe we will be required to make contributions to the Pension Plan for fiscal year 2014. We will continue to evaluate voluntary
contributions to our Pension Plan based upon the unfunded position of the Pension Plan, our available liquidity and other factors.
The funded status of our Pension Plan, SERP Plan and Postretirement Plan is as follows:
Pension Plan SERP Plan Postretirement Plan
Fiscal years Fiscal years Fiscal years

Projected benefit obligation $489,856 $565,852 $103,854 $117,562 $12,429 $17,466

For purposes of determining pension expense, the expected return on plan assets is calculated using the market related value of plan assets. The
market related value of plan assets does not immediately recognize realized gains and losses. Rather, these effects of realized gains and losses are deferred
initially and amortized over three years in the determination of the market related value of plan assets. At August 3, 2013, the market related value of plan
assets exceeded the fair value by $16.5 million.
