(1)For our U.S. Qualified plan, interest for benefits accrued prior to January 1, 1997 is based on 30-year Treasury yield with a guaranteed minimum rate of 3.00% for accruals prior to January 1, 1997 and 4.45% for accruals after January 1, 1997. The resulting assumed interest rate for accruals prior to January 1, 1997 is 4.02% for December 31, 2023, 3.94% for December 31, 2022 and 3.00% for December 31, 2021. The resulting assumed interest rate for accruals after January 1, 1997 is 4.45%.
