The Company also sponsors unfunded nonqualified supplemental retirement plans that provide certain current and former officers with benefits in excess of limits imposed by federal tax law.
In addition, the Company provides health care and life insurance for retired salaried employees in the U.S.who meet specific eligibility requirements.
