RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS
The Company, as of August 3, 2025, has two noncontributory qualified defined benefit pension plans (the “Pension Plans”) covering substantially all employees resident in the United States hired prior to January 1, 2022, who meet certain age and service requirements. The Pension Plans provide monthly benefits upon retirement generally based on career average compensation, subject to the plan freeze as discussed below, and years of credited service. They also provide participants with the option to receive their benefits in the form of lump sum payments. Vesting in benefits generally occurs after five years of service.

The Company also has three noncontributory unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plans (the “SERP Plans”), one of which is a supplemental pension plan for certain employees resident in the United States hired prior to January 1, 2022, who meet certain age and service requirements that provides benefits for compensation in excess of Internal Revenue Service earnings limits and requires payments to vested employees upon or after employment termination or retirement, according to their distribution election, and two other plans for select former senior management.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved changes to its Pension Plans and the associated SERP Plan to freeze the pensionable compensation and credited service amounts used to calculate participants’ benefits which became effective June 30, 2024, except for employees near retirement age that meet a specified service requirement, who will continue to accrue benefits under the Pension Plans and the associated SERP Plan, as applicable, for two years after the effective date of the freeze.

The Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees resident in the United States under two plans. Retirees contribute to the cost of the applicable plan, which are unfunded and frozen. The Company refers to these two plans as its “Postretirement Plans.” Net benefit cost related to the Postretirement Plans was immaterial for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2025 and August 4, 2024.

The components of net benefit cost are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows: (i) the service cost component is recorded in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and (ii) the other components are recorded in non-service related pension and postretirement (cost) income.
Currently, the Company does not expect to make material contributions to the Pension Plans in 2025. The Company’s actual contributions may differ from planned contributions due to many factors, including changes in tax and other laws, as well as significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates.
