Benefit Plan Assets by Category and Valuation Methodology
The following tables present the fair value of the Company’s pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets at December 31, 2016 and 2015, by asset category and valuation methodology. Level 1 assets are valued using unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. Level 2 assets are valued using quoted prices or other observable inputs for similar assets. Level 3 assets are valued using unobservable inputs, but reflect the assumptions market participants would be expected to use in pricing the assets. Each financial instrument’s categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
