BENEFIT PLANS | BENEFIT PLANS Multi-Employer Pension Plans The Company contributes to three multi-employer pension plans under collective bargaining agreements covering union-represented employees. These plans provide benefits to participants that are generally based on a fixed amount for each year of service. Based on the most recent information available, certain of these multi-employer plans are underfunded. The amount of any increase or decrease in Village’s required contributions to these multi-employer pension plans will depend upon the outcome of collective bargaining, actions taken by trustees who manage the plans, government regulations and the actual return on assets held in the plans, among other factors. The risks of participating in multi-employer pension plans are different from the risks of participating in single-employer pension plans in the following respects: •Assets contributed to a multi-employer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. •If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan allocable to such withdrawing employer may be borne by the remaining participating employers. •If the Company stops participating in some of its multi-employer pension plans, the Company may be required to pay those plans an amount based on its allocable share of the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. The Company’s participation in these plans is outlined in the following tables. The “EIN / Pension Plan Number” column provides the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) and the three-digit pension plan number. The most recent “Pension Protection Act Zone Status” available in 2024 and 2023 is for the plan’s year-end at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, unless otherwise noted. Among other factors, generally, plans in the red zone are less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are between 65 and 80 percent funded and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded. The “FIP/RP Status Pending / Implemented” column indicates plans for which a funding improvement plan (“FIP”) or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) is either pending or has been implemented.

(4)This plan has elected to utilize special amortization provisions provided under the Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010. There were no changes to the plan’s zone status as a result of this election. (5)The Company’s contributions represent more than 5% of the total contributions received by each applicable pension fund for all periods presented. (6)Under the Pension Protection Act, a surcharge may be imposed when employers make contributions under a collective bargaining agreement that is not in compliance with a rehabilitation plan. As of July 26, 2025, the collective bargaining agreements under which the Company was making contributions were in compliance with rehabilitation plans adopted by each applicable pension fund. Other Multi-Employer Benefit Plans The Company also contributes to various other multi-employer benefit plans that provide health and welfare benefits to active and retired participants. Total contributions made by the Company to these other multi-employer benefit plans were $37,978 and $37,216 in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. Defined Contribution Plans The Company sponsors a 401(k) savings plan for certain eligible associates. Company contributions under that plan, which are based on specified percentages of associate contributions, were $2,266 and $2,028 in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company also contributes to union sponsored defined contribution plans for certain eligible associates. Company contributions under these plans were $3,770 and $3,339 in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. Defined Benefit Plans In fiscal 2025, the Company sponsored two defined benefit pension plans. One of the plans is a tax-qualified plan covering members of a union, which is frozen and participants no longer earn service credit. Benefits under the union plan are based on a fixed amount for each year of service, and benefits under the nonunion plan are based upon percentages of annual compensation. Funding for these plans is based on an analysis of the specific requirements and an evaluation of the assets and liabilities of each plan. The second plan is an unfunded, nonqualified plan providing supplemental pension benefits to certain executives. Pension liabilities were $3,284 and $5,113 as of July 26, 2025 and July 27, 2024, respectively, and net periodic pension cost for the plans was a gain of $774 and expense of $10 in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. Additionally, the Company recognized a settlement gain of $859 in fiscal 2025 related to the non-qualified plan as benefits paid exceeded the sum of the service cost and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost.
