Net Periodic Benefit Cost
The Accumulated Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation ("APBO") is the actuarial present value of the benefits attributed to employee service rendered to a particular date. The decrease in APBO during 2012 is substantially due to a significant plan design change reflected in the December 31, 2012 valuation.
