As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, “Other” consisted principally of cash and cash equivalents, and investments in real estate funds.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the investments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, where applicable:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market funds and are classified as Level 1 investments.
Commingled Funds
Investments in the U.S. pooled separate accounts consist primarily of mutual funds, each of which follows a separate investment strategy, and are valued based on the reported unit value at year end. Foreign pension plan commingled funds represent pooled institutional investments, including primarily collective investment trusts. These commingled funds are not available on an exchange or in an active market and these investments are valued using their net asset value (“NAV”), which is generally based on the underlying asset values of the investments held in the trusts. As of December 31, 2022, the foreign pension plan commingled funds included approximately 34 percent of investments in equity securities, 50 percent of investments in fixed income securities, and 16 percent of other non-related investments, primarily real estate. As of December 31, 2021, the foreign pension plan commingled funds included approximately 35 percent of investments in equity securities, 51 percent of investments in fixed income securities, and 14 percent of other non-related investments, primarily real estate.
Pooled Separate Accounts
Investments in the U.S. pension plan pooled separate accounts consist of annuity contracts and are valued based on the reported unit value at year end. Units of the pooled separate account are not traded on an exchange or in an active market; however, valuation is based on the underlying investments of each pooled separate account and are classified as Level 2 investments. As of December 31, 2022, the U.S. pension plan pooled separate accounts included approximately 35 percent of investments in equity securities and 65 percent of investments in fixed income securities.
Fixed Income Government Securities
Investments in foreign pension plans fixed income government securities were valued using third party pricing services which are based on a combination of quoted market prices on an exchange in an active market as well as proprietary pricing models and inputs using observable market data and are classified as Level 2 investments.
Insurance Contract
Investments in the foreign pension plan insurance contract are valued at the highest value available for the Company at year end, either the reported cash surrender value of the contract or the vested benefit obligation. Both the cash surrender value and the vested benefit obligation are determined based on unobservable inputs, which are contractually or actuarially determined, regarding returns, fees, the present value of the future cash flows of the contract and benefit obligations. The contract is classified as a Level 3 investment.
Diversified Equity Securities - Registered Investment Companies
Investments in the foreign pension plans diversified equity securities of registered investment companies are based upon the quoted redemption value of shares in the fund owned by the plan at year end. The shares of the fund are not available on an exchange or in an active market; however, the fair value is determined based on the underlying investments in the fund as traded on an exchange in an active market and are classified as Level 2 investments.
Fixed Income – Foreign Registered Investment Companies
Investments in the foreign pension plans fixed income securities of foreign registered investment companies are based upon the quoted redemption value of shares in the fund owned by the plan at year end. The shares of the fund are not available on an exchange or in an active market; however, the fair value is determined based on the underlying investments in the fund as traded on an exchange in an active market and are classified as Level 2 investments.
Diversified Investment Fund - Registered Investment Companies
Investments in the foreign pension plan diversified investment fund of registered investment companies are based upon the quoted redemption value of shares in the fund owned by the plan at year end. This fund is not available on an exchange or in an active market and this investment is valued using its NAV, which is generally based on the underlying asset values of the investments held. As of December 31, 2021, the diversified investment funds included approximately 62 percent of investments in equity securities, 20 percent of investments in fixed income securities, and 18 percent of other alternative investments. There were no such investments as of December 31, 2022.
Other – Alternative Investments
Investments in the foreign pension plans include certain other alternative investments such as inflation and interest rate swaps. These investments are valued based on unobservable inputs, which are contractually or actuarially determined, regarding returns, fees, the present value of future cash flows of the contract and benefit obligations. These alternative investments are classified as Level 3 investments.
Real Estate
The U.S. and foreign pension plans’ investment in real estate consists of investments in property funds. The funds’ underlying investments consist of real property which are valued using unobservable inputs. These property funds are classified as a Level 3 investment.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the U.S. and foreign plans’ investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

In 2018, the Company began the process of terminating a noncontributory U.S. pension plan. During 2019, the Company received a favorable termination determination letter from the I.R.S. and completed the termination during 2020. In order to terminate the plan in accordance with I.R.S. and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation requirements, the Company was required to fully fund the plan on a termination basis and the amount necessary to do so was approximately $1.8 million, subject to final true up adjustments. In 2020, the Company finalized the amount of the liability and related annuity payments and received a refund in premium of approximately $1.6 million. In addition, the Company recorded a non-cash pension settlement charge at plan termination of approximately $22.7 million. This settlement charge included the immediate recognition into expense of the related unrecognized losses within AOCI on the balance sheet as of the plan termination date.
The Company contributes to a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan under terms of a collective bargaining union contract (the Cleveland Bakers and Teamsters Pension Fund, Employer Identification Number: 34-0904419-001). The expiration date of the collective bargaining contract is May 1, 2025. As of January 1, 2021, the last valuation date available for the multiemployer plan, total plan liabilities were approximately $583 million. As of December 31, 2021, the multiemployer pension plan had total plan assets of approximately $427 million. The Company’s contribution rate to the multiemployer pension plan is specified in the collective bargaining union contract and contributions are made to the plan based on its union employee payroll. The Company contributed $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Multi-Employer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980, imposes certain contingent liabilities upon an employer who is a contributor to a multiemployer pension plan if the employer withdraws from the plan or the plan is terminated or experiences a mass withdrawal. While the Company may also have additional liabilities imposed by law as a result of its participation in the multiemployer defined benefit pension plan, there is no liability as of December 31, 2022.
The Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the “PPA”) also added special funding and operational rules generally applicable to plan years beginning after 2007 for multiemployer plans with certain classifications based on a multitude of factors (including, for example, the plan’s funded percentage, cash flow position and whether the plan is projected to experience a minimum funding deficiency). The plan to which the Company contributes is in “critical” status. Plans in the “critical” status classification must adopt measures to improve their funded status through a funding improvement or rehabilitation plan which may require additional contributions from employers (which may take the form of a surcharge on benefit contributions) and/or modifications to retiree benefits. The amount of additional funds that the Company may be obligated to contribute to the plan in the future cannot be estimated as such amounts will be likely based on future levels of work that require the specific use of those union employees covered by the plan, and the amount of that future work and the number of affected employees that may be needed is not reasonably estimable.
Cash Flows
Contributions
The Company expects to make minimum cash contributions of approximately $5.2 million to its pension plans (approximately $2.6 million U.S. and $2.6 million Foreign) and approximately $0.2 million to its other postretirement benefit plan in 2023.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments
Excluding any impact related to the PPA noted above, the following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid:

The Company maintains a plan under which supplemental retirement benefits are provided to certain officers. Benefits payable under the plan are based on a combination of years of service and existing postretirement benefits. Included in total pension costs are charges of $0.7 million, $3.0 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing the annual accrued benefits under this plan.
Defined Contribution Plan
The Company sponsors various defined contribution plans in both its U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries, under which eligible participants may defer a portion of their compensation up to the allowable amount as determined by the plan. All contributions and Company matches are invested at the direction of the participant. The most significant plan is the Company's primary U.S. 401(k) plan with an employer match covering a majority of its U.S. employees.
