A significant component of the overall increase in the Company's benefit obligation for the year ended December 31, 2023, was due to interest cost on the benefit obligation partially offset by benefits paid during the year.

A significant component of the overall decrease in the Company’s benefit obligation for the year ended December 31, 2022, was due to an actuarial gain, which was primarily due to an increase in the discount rate used to measure our benefit obligation from 3.00% at December 31, 2021 to 5.60% at December 31, 2022.
