Pension Plans	Note 6 — Pension Plans Beginning in 2012, the Company received notices from the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BC&T) Pension Plan (Plan), a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan for certain Company union employees. The notices indicated that the Plan’s actuary certified the Plan to be in “critical status”, the “Red Zone”, as defined by the Pension Protection Act (PPA) and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), and that a plan of rehabilitation was adopted by the trustees of the Plan in fourth quarter 2012. The rehabilitation plan, which continues, requires that employer contributions include 5% compounded annual surcharge increases 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. Under the plan of rehabilitation, the Plan is projected to emerge from critical status sometime beyond a 30 year projection period. In the event that a plan does not have the financial resources to ultimately pay benefits at a level specified by law, then it must apply to the PBGC for government financial assistance. The Trustees have advised that neither the PPA nor regulatory guidance currently defines the rehabilitation standards for a plan that is not designed to emerge from critical status within the prescribed 10-year rehabilitation period. Recently enacted legislation (Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014) may also affect the future of this Plan. The Company was previously advised by the Plan that if the Company had withdrawn from the Plan during 2012 its estimated withdrawal liability would have been $37,200. The Company was recently advised by the Plan that its withdrawal liability would have been $56,400 if it had withdrawn from the Plan during 2014. The increase from 2012 to 2014 principally reflects changes in key actuarial assumptions, principally the effects of a lower interest rates proscribed by PBGC which were partially used to determine the present value of vested benefits, and a change to a more conservative mortality table. Should the Company actually withdraw from the Plan at a future date, a withdrawal liability, which could be higher than the above discussed amounts, could be payable to the Plan. Pension expense, including surcharges as discussed above, for the BC&T Plan for nine months 2015 and 2014 was $2,013 and $2,028, respectively. The aforementioned includes surcharge of $349 and $268 in nine months 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to contribution increases under the plan of rehabilitation. During second quarter 2015, the Company received new notices that the Plan is in “critical and declining status”, as defined by the PPA and PBGC, for the plan year beginning January 1, 2015, and that the Plan is projected to have an accumulated funding deficiency for the 2017 through 2024 plan years. The recent notices advised that the Plan’s actuarially determined asset values would fund 65.11%, 66.41% and 66.86% of its liabilities as of its January 1, 2014, 2013, and 2012 plan valuation dates, respectively. The aforementioned funding percentages are based on actuarially determined asset valuations which differ from the market values of the Plan’s assets on these dates. Based on the market values of the Plan’s investments, its funded percentages were 60.2% and 55.3% as of January 1, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The notice also indicates that as of the January 1, 2014 valuation date, 20.8% of plan participants were active participants working for a participating employer, 51.4% were retired and receiving benefits, and 27.8% were retired or separated from service and entitled to future benefits. The Company’s existing labor contract with the local BC&T commits the Company’s participation in this Plan through third quarter 2017. 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 or the effects of any modifications to the current rehabilitation plan could be material to its consolidated results of operations or cash flows in one or more future periods.

Note 6 — Pension Plans

Beginning in 2012, the Company received notices from the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BC&T) Pension Plan (Plan), a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan for certain Company union employees. The notices indicated that the Plan’s actuary certified the Plan to be in “critical status”, the “Red Zone”, as defined by the Pension Protection Act (PPA) and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), and that a plan of rehabilitation was adopted by the trustees of the Plan in fourth quarter 2012. The rehabilitation plan, which continues, requires that employer contributions include 5% compounded annual surcharge increases 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. Under the plan of rehabilitation, the Plan is projected to emerge from critical status sometime beyond a 30 year projection period. In the event that a plan does not have the financial resources to ultimately pay benefits at a level specified by law, then it must apply to the PBGC for government financial assistance. The Trustees have advised that neither the PPA nor regulatory guidance currently defines the rehabilitation standards for a plan that is not designed to emerge from critical status within the prescribed 10-year rehabilitation period. Recently enacted legislation (Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014) may also affect the future of this Plan.

The Company was previously 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 was recently advised by the Plan that its withdrawal liability would have been $56,400 if it had withdrawn from the Plan during 2014. The increase from 2012 to 2014 principally reflects changes in key actuarial assumptions, principally the effects of a lower interest rates proscribed by PBGC which were partially used to determine the present value of vested benefits, and a change to a more conservative mortality table. Should the Company actually withdraw from the Plan at a future date, a withdrawal liability, which could be higher than the above discussed amounts, could be payable to the Plan. Pension expense, including surcharges as discussed above, for the BC&T Plan for nine months 2015 and 2014 was $2,013 and $2,028, respectively. The aforementioned includes surcharge of $349 and $268 in nine months 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to contribution increases under the plan of rehabilitation.

During second quarter 2015, the Company received new notices that the Plan is in “critical and declining status”, as defined by the PPA and PBGC, for the plan year beginning January 1, 2015, and that the Plan is projected to have an accumulated funding deficiency for the 2017 through 2024 plan years. The recent notices advised that the Plan’s actuarially determined asset values would fund 65.11%, 66.41% and 66.86% of its liabilities as of its January 1, 2014, 2013, and 2012 plan valuation dates, respectively. The aforementioned funding percentages are based on actuarially determined asset valuations which differ from the market values of the Plan’s assets on these dates. Based on the market values of the Plan’s investments, its funded percentages were 60.2% and 55.3% as of January 1, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The notice also indicates that as of the January 1, 2014 valuation date, 20.8% of plan participants were active participants working for a participating employer, 51.4% were retired and receiving benefits, and 27.8% were retired or separated from service and entitled to future benefits.

The Company’s existing labor contract with the local BC&T commits the Company’s participation in this Plan through third quarter 2017. 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 or the effects of any modifications to the current rehabilitation plan could be material to its consolidated results of operations or cash flows in one or more future periods.
