Employee Benefit Plans | Note 10. Employee Benefit Plans Single Employer Pension Plans As of March 31, 2023, the Company has two defined benefit pension plans for certain employees, the "Farmer Bros. Plan" and the “Hourly Employees' Plan”. The Company froze benefit accruals and participation in these plans effective June 30, 2011 and October 1, 2016, respectively. After the plan freezes, participants do not accrue any benefits under the plan, and new hires are not eligible to participate in the plan. The net periodic benefit cost (credit) for the defined benefit pension plans is as follows:

Multiemployer Pension Plans The Company participates in one multiemployer defined benefit pension plan that is union sponsored and collectively bargained for the benefit of certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements, called the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan ("WCTPP"). The Company makes contributions to this plan generally based on the number of hours worked by the participants in accordance with the provisions of negotiated labor contracts. The company also contributes to two defined contribution pension plans (All Other Plans) that are union sponsored and collectively bargained for the benefit of certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements. Contributions made by the Company to the multiemployer pension plans were as follows:

Multiemployer Plans Other Than Pension Plans The Company participates in nine multiemployer defined contribution plans other than pension plans that provide medical, vision, dental and disability benefits for active, union-represented employees subject to collective bargaining agreements. The plans are subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and provide that participating employers make monthly contributions to the plans in an amount as specified in the collective bargaining agreements. Also, the plans provide that participants make self-payments to the plans, the amounts of which are negotiated through the collective bargaining process. The Company’s participation in these plans is governed by collective bargaining agreements which expire on or before January 31, 2025. 401(k) Plan Farmer Bros. Co. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) is available to all eligible employees. The 401(k) Plan match portion is available to all eligible employees who have worked more than 1,000 hours during a calendar year and were employed at the end of the calendar year. Participants in the 401(k) Plan may choose to contribute a percentage of their annual pay subject to the maximum contribution allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company's matching contribution is discretionary, based on approval by the Company's Board of Directors. Beginning in July 2021, the Company re-instated a 401(k) Plan matching program (the “401(k) Match”) for non-union employees, by matching 50% of any non-union employee's annual contribution to the 401(k) Plan, up to 6% of such employee's eligible income, which is substantially similar to the program prior to its suspension in March 2020. Beginning in January 2022, the Company amended the 401(k) Match, whereby the Company on a quarterly basis, will contribute, instead of cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”) with a value equal to 50% of any non-union employee's annual contribution to the 401(k) Plan, up to 6% of such employee's eligible income. The terms of the match are substantially the same as the safe-harbor non-elective contribution. The Company recorded matching contributions of $0.4 million and $1.5 million in operating expenses in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively and $0.5 million and $1.6 million in operating expenses in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company eliminated the 4% non-elective contribution and changed the Company match to 100% of the first 3% each eligible employee contributes plus 50% on the next 2% they contribute. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company contributed a total of 271,838 and 90,329 of shares Common Stock with a value of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to eligible participants’ annual plan compensation. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company contributed a total of 793,602 and 224,363 of shares Common Stock with a value of $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, to eligible participants’ annual plan compensation. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company amended the 401(k) Plan to, among other things, increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 401(k) Plan by 2,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock and permit participants in the 401(k) Plan to invest a portion of their 401(k) Plan accounts into Common Stock. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company merged the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) into the 401(k) Plan and transferred all of the assets and shares in the ESOP to the 401(k) Plan. Postretirement Benefits Retiree Medical Plan and Death Benefit On March 23, 2020, the Company announced a plan to amend and terminate the postretirement medical benefit plan that covers qualified non-union retirees and certain qualified union retirees (“Retiree Medical Plan”) effective January 1, 2021. As a result, the re-measurement generated a prior service credit. This credit, along with actuarial gains, were amortized over the remaining months of the plan through January 1, 2021. The Retiree Medical Plan is now terminated. The Company provides a postretirement death benefit (the “Death Benefit” Plan) to certain employees and retirees, subject, in the case of current employees, to continued employment with the Company until retirement and certain other conditions related to the manner of employment termination and manner of death. In June 2021, the Company amended the Death Benefit Plan effective immediately, which triggered re-measurement of the plan. In conjunction with the amendment, the Company created a new Executive Death Benefit Plan (the “Executive Death Benefit Plan”) for a small group of participants in the Death Benefit Plan. Under the Executive Death Benefit Plan, the participants receive the same benefits they would have received under the Death Benefit Plan. The following table shows the components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the Retiree Medical Plan and Death Benefit Plan for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
