The Company has established formal investment policies for the assets associated with these plans. Policy
objectives include maximizing long-term return at acceptable risk levels, diversifying among asset classes, if
appropriate, and among investment managers, as well as establishing relevant risk parameters within each asset
class. Specific asset class targets are based on the results of periodic asset/liability studies. The investment
policies permit variances from the targets within certain parameters. The weighted average expected long-term
rate of return is based on a Fiscal 2013 review of such rates. The plan assets currently do not include holdings of
SB Holdings common stock.
