Note 6 — Pension Plans

 

During 2012 and 2013, the Company received notices from the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International (BC&T) Pension Fund (Plan), a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan for certain Company union employees. The notices indicate that the Plan’s actuary has certified that the Plan is in critical status, the “Red Zone”, as defined by the Pension Protection Act (PPA), and that a plan of rehabilitation was adopted by the Trustees of the Plan in fourth quarter 2012. The rehabilitation plan adopted requires that employer contributions include 5% compounded annual surcharges each year for an unspecified period of time beginning January 2013 (in addition to the 5% interim surcharge initiated in June 2012) as well as certain plan benefit reductions. The Company was advised by the Plan that if the Company had withdrawn from the Plan during 2012 its estimated withdrawal liability would have been $37,200. The Company does not have any updated information as to its withdrawal liability. Should the Company actually withdraw from the Plan at a future date, a withdrawal liability, which could be higher than $37,200, would be payable to the Plan. The Company’s existing labor contract with its BC&T local union commits the Company’s participation in this Plan through third quarter 2017. Pension expense, including surcharges as discussed above, for the BC&T Plan for first half 2014 and 2013 was $1,354 and $1,208, respectively. The Company is currently unable to determine the ultimate outcome of the above discussed matter and therefore, is unable to determine the effects on its consolidated financial statements, but, the ultimate outcome could be material to its consolidated results of operations in one or more future periods.
