Retirement Plans

We have an unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan covering certain officers, key members of management and our non-employee directors.  Subject to certain vesting requirements, the plan provides for retirement benefits based on the average of the final thirty-six months of base salary.  Such benefits become payable upon attaining age sixty-five, or upon retirement, if later.  The benefits are paid biweekly and continue for the retiree’s remaining life or for a minimum of ten years. The plan was closed to new participants effective February 3, 2011.

For the twenty-six weeks ended June 24, 2012, payments to retirees or their beneficiaries totaled approximately $588,000.  We presently anticipate benefit payments in 2012 to total approximately $1.3 million.  The following table summarizes the components of net periodic pension cost for the first two quarters of 2012 and 2011.
