During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Park recognized a $5.8 million pension settlement gain due to a combination of lump sum payouts as well as the purchase of a nonparticipating annuity contract which will provide ongoing benefits to vested participants. To calculate the gain, the PBO was remeasured as of September 30, 2024. In calculating the September 30, 2024 PBO, a discount rate of 5.17% was used which was a 3 basis point increase from the discount rate utilized to calculate the December 31, 2023 PBO. There were no changes between December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024 to the assumptions utilized for the long-term rate of return on plan assets, salaries increases, turnover rates or mortality. There was no pension settlement gain recognized during the three months or the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
