The measurement date for the Company’s pension plan was April 30, 2023.

The table below includes the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets as of April 30, 2023. The net fair value of plan assets (in thousands) is recorded in other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The projected benefit obligation includes assumptions of a discount rate of 2.4% and pension increase for in-payment benefits of 1.5% for July 29, 2023 and April 30, 2023. The accumulated benefit obligation is approximately equal to the Company’s projected benefit obligation. The plan assets consist of reinsurance policies for each of the three pension commitments. The reinsurance policies are fixed-income investments considered a level 2 fair value hierarchy based on observable inputs of the policy. The Company does not expect to make any contributions to the plan in the fiscal year ending April 30, 2024. The Company assumed expected return on plan assets of 2.9% for July 29, 2023 and April 30, 2023.
