NOTE I – Pension Plans

On May 13, 2014, our defined benefit plan (the "Pension Plan") was terminated effective July 20, 2014.  During the fourth quarter of 2014 Pension Plan participants received their earned benefits through the payment of lump-sum cash distributions, roll-over payments to other retirement accounts, and the purchase of annuity contracts from a third-party insurance company.  The Pension Plan was fully funded so no company contributions were required in 2014 to completely settle our obligations.  Additional information regarding the settlement of the Pension Plan can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

We also have a non-qualified, non-contributory supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) for employees whose retirement benefits are reduced due to their annual compensation levels.  The SERP limits the total amount of annual retirement benefits that may be paid to a participant in the SERP from all sources (Retirement Plan, Social Security and the SERP) to $125,000.  The SERP is not funded so we pay benefits directly to participants.

Net pension costs included the following components (in thousands):
