Employee Benefit Plans

13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

Deferred Compensation Plans

Quanta maintains non-qualified deferred compensation plans under which eligible directors and key employees may defer their receipt of certain cash compensation and/or the settlement of certain stock-based awards. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the liability related to deferred cash compensation under these plans, including amounts contributed by Quanta, was $101.8 million and $88.9 million, the majority of which was included in “Insurance and other non-current liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the settlement and issuance of 176,305 and 174,079 shares of common stock underlying certain stock-based awards had been deferred under these plans, and such issuances are scheduled to occur in future periods.

To provide for future obligations related to deferred cash compensation under these plans, Quanta has invested in corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) policies covering certain participants in the deferred compensation plans, the underlying investments of which are intended to be aligned with the investment alternatives elected by plan participants. The COLI assets are recorded at their cash surrender value, which is considered their fair market value, and as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair market values were $95.7 million and $83.4 million and were included in “Other assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The level of inputs for these fair value measurements is Level 2.

Changes in the fair market value of Quanta’s COLI assets and deferred compensation liabilities largely offset and are recorded in the accompanying statements of operations as follows (in thousands):
