_______________________________________________________________________________
(1)Cash and cash equivalents are primarily short-term money market funds.
(2)Short-term investments represent investments in a pooled money market fund that invests primarily in Canadian-dollar denominated debt securities, maturing in no more than one year.
(3)The fair values of the buy-in annuity contracts are estimated based on their exit price, that is, the amount at which the contracts could be sold to a willing third-party buyer.
(4)U.S. Treasury bonds and notes are valued based on quoted market prices in an active market.
(5)The fixed income mutual funds invest primarily in high-quality longer duration fixed income securities, which include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments. The funds are priced based on a daily published net asset value (NAV).
(6)Corporate bonds and notes, including private placement securities, are valued by institutional bond pricing services, which gather information from market sources and integrate credit information, observed market movements and sector news into their pricing applications and models.
(7)Government and agency securities consist of U.S. municipal bonds and for 2024 only, Canadian provincial bonds. These securities are valued by institutional bond pricing services, which gather information on current trading activity, market movements, trends, and specific data on specialty issues.
(8)Other includes primarily mortgage-backed, asset-backed securities and U.S. Treasury strips. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are valued by institutional pricing services, which gather information from market sources and integrate credit information, observed market movements and sector news into their pricing applications and models. U.S. Treasury strips are valued using stripped interest and stripped principal yield curves based on data obtained from various dealer contacts and live data sources.
(9)Cash and cash funds include a cash fund that invests primarily in short-dated money market instruments.
(10)Funds measured at NAV as a practical expedient as of December 31, 2025 include a fund of funds that invests primarily in freehold and leasehold property in the United Kingdom. Funds measured at NAV as a practical expedient as of December 31, 2024 include funds of funds with return strategies that provide exposure to various asset classes and credit strategies, as well as alternative investment strategies that may include multi-asset credit strategies, global macro strategies, commodities, fixed income, equities and currency, and funds that invest primarily in freehold and leasehold property in the United Kingdom. The valuation of the funds is based on NAV determined by the fund managers using the value of the underlying assets.
(11)The index equity funds are mutual funds that utilize a passively managed investment approach designed to track specific equity indices. They were valued at quoted market prices in an active market, which represented the NAVs of the shares held by the plan.
(12)Pooled equity funds invest in a broad array of global equity, equity-related securities, a range of diversifiers and may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management. The funds were valued at NAV as determined by the fund managers based on the value of the underlying net assets of the fund.
(13)Pooled diversified funds invest in a broad array of asset classes and a range of diversifiers including the use of derivatives. The funds were valued at NAV as determined by the fund managers based on the value of the underlying net assets of the fund.
(14)Pooled U.K. government fixed and index-linked securities funds invest primarily in Sterling denominated fixed income and inflation-linked fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by the U.K. government and may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management. The funds were valued at NAV as determined by the fund managers based on the value of the underlying net assets of the fund.
(15)Pooled global debt funds invest in a broad array of debt securities from corporate and government bonds to emerging markets and high-yield fixed and floating rate securities of varying maturities and may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management. The funds were valued at NAV as determined by the fund managers based on the value of the underlying net assets of the fund.
(16)Pooled liability-driven investment funds primarily invest, either through a sub-fund or directly, in gilt repurchase agreements, physical U.K. government gilts, other inflation-linked fixed income securities, and derivatives to provide exposure to interest rates and inflation, thus hedging these elements of risk associated with pension liabilities. The funds were valued at NAV as determined by the fund managers based on the value of the underlying net assets of the fund.
