Schedule Of Assumed Health Care Cost Trend Rates Used In Other Employee Benefit Plan
The assumed health care cost trend rates used in the other employee benefit plan was as follows:
             
  2013 (a) 2012
Assumed health care cost trend rates on December 31 Participants under age 65Participants 65 years and older Participants under age 65 Participants 65 years and older
        
Health care cost trend rate assumed for next yearN/A N/A  7.50% 7.50%

(a)Beginning in 2013, participants are no longer included in FHN's self-funded plan.
Schedule Of Health Care Cost Trend Rate Assumption Has A Significant Effect On The Amounts Reported
The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:
        
(Dollars in thousands) 1% Increase 1% Decrease 
Adjusted total service and interest cost components$ 808 $ 772 
Adjusted postretirement benefit obligation at end of plan year (a)  7,202   7,202 
        
(a)Due to the pension plan freeze on December 31, 2012, trend rate assumptions no longer have an impact on benefit obligation.
