Schedule of Multiemployer Pension Plans
The following table outlines our participation in multiemployer pension plans as of September 27, 2024, September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022. We participated in the International Association of Machinists National Pension Fund (“IAMNPF”) and Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Trust (“WCTPT”) and certain other plans were aggregated in the Other line in the following table as contributions to each of these plans are not material. The “EIN/PN” column provides the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) and the three-digit plan number (“PN”). The most recent Pension Protection Act (“PPA”) zone status available for 2024 and 2023 is indicated below. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans in the yellow zone are between 65% and 80% funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” column indicates if the plan has a financial improvement plan (“FIP”) or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) which is either pending or has been implemented. In addition to regular plan contributions, we may be subject to a surcharge if the plan is in the red zone. The “Surcharge Imposed” column indicates whether a surcharge has been imposed on contributions to the plan. The last column lists the expiration date of the collective-bargaining agreements to which the plan is subject.
