Summary Of Changes In Level 3 Assets And Liabilities Measured At Fair Value On A Recurring Basis

The Company has also recorded a corresponding nonfinancial liability, representing the Company’s liability to the plan participants.

The changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows:
