Retirement Plans and Postretirement Costs

RETIREMENT PLANS AND POSTRETIREMENT COSTS

We have a noncontributory Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), which is a nonqualified defined benefit plan. The SERP is funded through a Rabbi Trust with TMI Trust Company. Under the SERP, as amended December 31, 2013, participants received an accrued lump-sum benefit as of December 31, 2013 which was credited to each participant’s account. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, each eligible participant receives a supplemental retirement benefit equal to the foregoing lump-sum benefit, plus an annual benefit accrual equal to 8 percent of the participant’s base salary and cash bonus, plus annual credited interest on the participant’s account balance. All then current participants as of December 31, 2013 are fully vested in their account balances with any new individuals participating in the SERP effective on or after January 1, 2014 being subject to a five year vesting period. The SERP, which is considered a nonqualified defined benefit plan under applicable rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue Code, will continue to be funded through use of a Rabbi Trust to hold investment assets to be used in part to fund any future required lump sum benefit payments to participants.

During 2023, SERP benefits of $863,000 were cash settled using Rabbi trust assets. We incurred a related settlement charge to operations of $217,000 pre-tax in 2023 as a result of the requirement to expense a portion of the unrealized actuarial losses due to the settlement of the SERP obligation. The Rabbi Trust assets had a value of $1.6 million and $2.6 million at June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively, and were included in Other Long-Term Assets in the accompany Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Fair Value of Financial Instruments discussion included in Notes to Financial Statements herein for further discussion of Rabbi Trust assets. The Rabbi Trust assets are excluded from the SERP tables below as they do not qualify as plan assets. The reduction in Rabbi trust assets between periods resulted from $1.2 million in assets being moved from the trust in June 2024 related to a July 2024 settlement payment. The projected benefit obligation under the SERP, which is included in the SERP tables below, was $2.6 million at June 30, 2024 and $2.3 million at July 2, 2023. The SERP has a separately determined accumulated benefit obligation, which is the actuarial present value of benefits based on service rendered and current and past compensation levels. This differs from the projected benefit obligation in that it includes no assumptions about future compensation levels. The accumulated benefit obligation under the SERP was $2.4 million at June 30, 2024 and $2.2 million at July 2, 2023.

We also sponsor a postretirement health care plan for all current and future eligible U.S. retirees hired prior to June 1, 2001. The expected cost of retiree health care benefits is recognized during the years the associates who are covered under the plan render service. Effective January 1, 2010, an amendment to the postretirement health care plan limited the benefit for future eligible retirees to $4,000 per plan year and the benefit is further subject to a maximum five-year coverage period based on the associate’s retirement date and age. The postretirement health care plan is unfunded. Additionally, we sponsor a postretirement life plan for all U.S. salaried retirees who retired prior to October 1, 2001 and all U.S. hourly retirees who were hired prior to June 27, 2005 and retired prior to January 1, 2010. The benefit provides for a death benefit of $8,000, which is increased to $70,000 for disability retirees until reaching the age of 65, in which case the death benefit decreased to $8,000. The postretirement life plan is unfunded. See "Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" above for additional information regarding certain matters related to recording a liability adjustment for the death benefit owed to eligible participants under the postretirement life plan.

An annual rate increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits is not applicable as all eligible retirees will be limited to $4,000 per plan year subject to a maximum five-year coverage period as of June 2024.

 

We expect to contribute $1.2 million to our SERP and $108,000 to our postretirement health care and life plans in fiscal 2025. The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid during the fiscal years noted below (thousands of dollars):
