Fair value of plan assets

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the plans’ assets at fair value, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.  A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is not representative of its expected performance or its overall risk profile, and therefore Level 3 assets are not necessarily higher risk than Level 2 assets or Level 1 assets.  There were no Level 2 or Level 3 assets for any years presented.

Mutual funds are valued based on the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.  Certain of the plan’s assets are valued based on the net asset value (“NAV”) as an alternative to estimate the fair value due to the absence of readily available market prices.  The NAV is based on the fair values of the underlying assets owned by the fund.

4
