Employee Post-Employment Benefits
 
Pension and Postretirement Medical and Life Benefits
We sponsor
three
defined benefit pension plans for active employees and offer certain postretirement benefits for retirees. A summary of each of these is presented below.
 
Retirement Plan

RTI sponsors the Morrison Restaurants Inc. Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan"). Effective
December 31, 1987,
the Retirement Plan was amended so that
no
additional benefits would accrue and
no
new participants could enter the Retirement Plan after that date. Participants receive benefits based upon salary and length of service.
 
Minimum funding for the Retirement Plan is determined in accordance with the guidelines set forth in employee benefit and tax laws. From time to time we
may
contribute additional amounts as we deem appropriate. We estimate that we will
not
be required to make contributions to the Retirement Plan in fiscal year
2018.
 
Executive Supplemental Pension Plan and Management Retirement Plan

Under these unfunded defined benefit pension plans, eligible employees earn supplemental retirement income based upon salary and length of service, reduced by social security benefits and amounts otherwise receivable under other specified Company retirement plans. The Executive Supplemental Pension Plan and the Management Retirement Plan have been amended so that
no
additional benefits will accrue and
no
new participants
may
enter the plan.
 
Included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of
September 5, 2017
and
June 6, 2017
are amounts within Accrued liabilities: Payroll and related costs of
$1.6
million and
$3.0
million, respectively, and amounts within Other deferred liabilities of
$33.9
million and
$33.5
million, respectively, relating to our
three
defined benefit pension plans.
 
Postretirement Medical and Life Benefits

Our Postretirement Medical and Life Benefits plans provide medical benefits to substantially all retired employees and life insurance benefits to certain retirees. The medical plan requires retiree cost sharing provisions that are more substantial for employees who retire after
January 1, 1990.
 
Included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of
September 5, 2017
and
June 6, 2017
are amounts within Accrued liabilities: Payroll and related costs of
$0.1
million as of both dates and amounts within Other deferred liabilities of
$0.9
million as of both dates relating to our postretirement medical and life benefits.
 
The following tables detail the components of net periodic benefit cost for the Retirement Plan, Management Retirement Plan, and the Executive Supplemental Pension Plan (collectively, the "Pension Plans") and the Postretirement Medical and Life Benefits plans, which is recorded as a component of
General, and administrative expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss (in thousands):

During the
13
weeks ended
September 5, 2017,
a
$1.4
million lump-sum pension distribution triggered partial settlement accounting for the Executive Supplemental Pension Plan.
  Accordingly, reflected in the table above is a pre-tax curtailment expense of
$0.4
million for the
13
weeks ended
September 5, 2017
representing the recognition of a pro rata portion of the unrecognized loss recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss.
 
During the
13
weeks ended
September 5, 2017
and
August 30, 2016,
we reclassified recognized actuarial losses of
$0.1
million and
$0.4
million, respectively, out of accumulated other comprehensive loss and into pension expense, which is included in
General and administrative expenses within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
 
We also sponsor
two
defined contribution retirement savings plans. Information regarding these plans is included in our Annual Report on Form
10
-K for the fiscal year ended
June 6, 2017.

million, representing unpaid obligations related to employee severance and vacation accruals, were included within Accrued liabilities: Payroll and related costs in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
