Retirement Plans | Note 10 – Retirement Plans Defined Benefit Plan senseFly S.A. sponsors a defined benefit pension plan (the “Defined Benefit Plan”) covering all its employees. The Defined Benefit Plan provides benefits in the event of retirement, death or disability, with benefits based on age and salary. The Defined Benefit Plan is funded through contributions paid by senseFly S.A. and its employees, respectively. The Defined Benefit Plan assets are Groupe Mutuel Prévoyance (“GMP”), which invests these plan assets in cash and cash equivalents, equities, bonds, real estate and alternative investments. The Projected Benefit Obligation (“PBO”) includes in full the accrued liability for the plan death and disability benefits, irrespective of the extent to which these benefits may be reinsured with an insurer. The actuarial valuations are based on the census data as of December 31, 2024, provided by GMP. The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of the Defined Benefit Plan as an asset or liability in its consolidated balance sheets and recognizes changes in the funded status of the Defined Benefit Plan in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The Defined Benefit Plan’s assets and benefit obligations are remeasured as of December 31 each year. The net periodic benefit cost of the Defined Benefit Plan for the period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 was as follows: Schedule of Net Periodic Benefit Cost of the Defined Benefit Plan
