Pension Plans Pension Plans
The Company has historically sponsored two defined benefit pension plans – a qualified retirement plan (the “Pension Plan”) which was generally available to all employees, and a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”), which was for the benefit of certain senior management executives of the Company. Effective December 31, 2012, the Company froze both plans for all participants. Although no previously accrued benefits were lost, employees no longer accrue benefits for service subsequent to 2012.
The Company recorded periodic pension cost totaling $158,000 and $186,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $475,000 and $617,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The following table contains the components of the pension cost.

The Company’s contributions to the Pension Plan are based on computations by independent actuarial consultants and are intended to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Company did not contribute to the Pension Plan in the first nine months of 2021 and does not expect to contribute to the Pension Plan in the remainder of 2021.
The Company’s funding policy with respect to the SERP is to fund the related benefits from the operating cash flow of the Company.
