The following assumptions were used 1) 3.90%, based on current market conditions, for participants in pay status expected to elect a plan termination annuity; 2) 4.11%, based on current market conditions, for active and terminated participants with deferred benefits expected to elect a plan termination annuity; 3) The IRC 417(e) interest rates for the month of November 2018 (3.43%, 4.46%, and 4.88), based on plan provisions, for all lump sum eligible expected to elect a plan termination lump sum. The Waltham Services, LLC Hourly Employee Pension Plan applied 4.05% discount rate based on yield curve analysis.
