NOTE 13 — BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a qualified 401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan, in which all U.S. employees are able to participate. The Company matches a portion of employee contributions to the savings plan. Company contributions to the savings plan were $126 million, $110 million and $107 million and included in Cost of sales or Operating overhead expense, as applicable, for the years ended May 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The terms of the plan also allow for annual discretionary profit sharing contributions, as recommended by senior management and approved by the Board of Directors, to the accounts of eligible U.S. employees who work at least 1,000 hours in a year. There were no profit sharing contributions made to the plan for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Company also has a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by shareholders in September 1997, which has been amended from time to time. The Company recognized $16 million, $78 million and $66 million of Operating overhead expense related to cash awards under the LTIP during the years ended May 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022, under the Stock Incentive Plan, the Company granted PSUs which replaced cash-based long-term incentive awards historically granted under the Company's LTIP. Refer to Note 11 — Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation for further information related to PSUs. The Company allows certain highly compensated employees and non-employee directors of the Company to defer compensation under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. A rabbi trust was established to fund the Company's nonqualified deferred compensation plan obligation. The assets in the rabbi trust of approximately $876 million and $945 million as of May 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily consist of company owned life insurance policies recorded at their cash surrender value and are classified in Deferred income taxes and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred compensation plan liabilities were $890 million and $944 million as of May 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and primarily classified in Deferred income taxes and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has pension plans in various countries worldwide. The pension plans are only available to local employees and are generally government mandated. The liability related to the unfunded pension liabilities of the plans was $30 million and $64 million as of May 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and primarily classified as non-current in Deferred income taxes and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
