Multiemployer Pension Plans

ARP Act: The American Rescue Plan Act ("ARP Act") was signed into law on March 11, 2021. The ARP Act establishes a special financial assistance program for financially troubled multiemployer pension plans. Under the ARP Act, eligible multiemployer plans can apply to receive a one-time cash payment in the amount projected by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") to pay pension benefits through the plan year ending 2051. On July 9, 2021, the PBGC issued its interim final rule with respect to the special financial assistance program. The PBGC interim final rule provides direction on the application requirements, identifies which plans will have priority, eligibility requirements, the determination of the amount of financial assistance to be provided and establishes conditions and restrictions that apply to plans that receive the assistance. The Company is currently evaluating the interim final rule, which is subject to a 30-day comment period, including any potential impact to the Company's Excess Plan as defined in and further described in "Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data—Note 12" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 27, 2021.
