Certain Plan investments are collective trusts and pooled separate accounts managed by Principal Life Insurance Company. Principal Life Insurance Company is the custodian as defined by the Plan, and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees incurred by the Plan for the investment management services are included in net appreciation in fair value of investments, as they are paid through revenue sharing, rather than a direct payment. As described in Note 2, the plan made a direct payment to the third-party administrator of $5,824 which was not covered by revenue sharing.
