The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time
and eligible part-time associates and a
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) and a Supplemental

for new associates hired after
December 31, 2019.
The SERP II was adopted by the Company’s
Board on May 21, 2020 and covers certain executive officers that
were not covered by the SERP.
The components of the net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s
qualified benefit pension plan were as follows:
