Benefit Plans	16. BENEFIT PLANS Defined Contribution Plans We have defined contribution plans that cover substantially all employees and allow participants to contribute on a pre-tax basis, along with matching contributions by the company for its U.S. and Canadian operations. Our contributions to these plans were $1.2 million, $1.2 million, and $1.3 million during fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Deferred Compensation Plan We have a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) covering senior executives and certain key members of management. The Plan provides for participant deferrals on a pre-tax basis that are subject to annual deferral limits by the IRS and non-elective contributions made by the company. Participant deferrals and non-elective contributions made by the company are immediately vested. Our contributions to the Plan were $229,000, $215,000, and $212,000 during fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Our nonqualified deferred compensation plan liability was $7.8 million and $8.2 million as of April 28, 2024, and April 30, 2023, respectively. We have a rabbi trust (the “Trust”) to set aside funds for the participants of the Plan that allows the participants to direct their contributions to various investment options in the Plan. The investment options in the Plan consist of a money market fund and various mutual funds. The funds set aside in the Trust are subject to the claims of our general creditors in the event of the company’s insolvency, as defined in the Plan. The investment assets of the Trust are recorded at their fair value of $8.0 million and $8.5 million as of April 28, 2024, and April 30, 2023, respectively. The investment assets of the Trust are classified as available for sale and accordingly, changes in their fair values are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.
