Schedule of Economic Assumptions, and Impact of Change in Discount Rate on Benefit Obligation
The weighted average assumptions used in determining pension and other postretirement plan information were as follows:

Discount rate1.87 %1.80 %2.51 %2.77 %
Expected return on plan assets3.53 %NA4.67 %NA
The sensitivity of the projected benefit obligation for pension benefits to changes in the discount rate is set out below. The impact of a change in the discount rate of 0.25% on the projected benefit obligation for other benefits is less than $1,000. This sensitivity analysis is based on changing one assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to variations in significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as for calculating the liability recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Schedule of Plan Asset Allocations
The following table reflects the pension plans’ actual asset allocations:
September 26, 2021December 27, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents2 %1 %
Pooled separate accounts for the Union Plan(a):
Equity securities2 %2 %
Fixed income securities2 %2 %
Pooled separate accounts and common collective trust funds for the GK Pension Plan(a):
Equity securities20 %20 %
Fixed income securities12 %13 %
Real estate1 %1 %
Pooled separate accounts for the U.K. Plans(a):
Equity securities36 %35 %
Fixed income securities19 %20 %
Real estate6 %6 %
Total assets100 %100 %
(a)    Pooled separate accounts (“PSAs”) and common collective trust funds (“CCTs”) are two of the most common types of alternative vehicles in which benefit plans invest. These investments are pooled funds that look like mutual funds, but they are not registered with the SEC. Often times, they will be invested in mutual funds or other marketable securities, but the unit price generally will be different from the value of the underlying securities because the fund may also hold cash for liquidity purposes, and the fees imposed by the fund are deducted from the fund value rather than charged separately to investors. Some PSAs and CCTs have no restrictions as to their investment strategy and can invest in riskier investments, such as derivatives, hedge funds, private equity funds, or similar investments.
Schedule of Fair Value Measurements of Plan Assets
The fair value measurements of plan assets fell into the following levels of the fair value hierarchy as of September 26, 2021 and December 27, 2020:

(a)    Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are used to determine fair value.
(b)    Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and inputs that are observable for the asset are used to determine fair value.
(c)    Unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations, are used to determine fair value.
(d)    This category is comprised of investment options that invest in stocks, or shares of ownership, in large, well-established U.S. companies. These investment options typically carry more risk than fixed income options but have the potential for higher returns over longer time periods.
(e)    This category is generally comprised of investment options that invest in stocks, or shares of ownership, in small to medium-sized U.S. companies. These investment options typically carry more risk than larger U.S. equity investment options but have the potential for higher returns.
(f)    This category is comprised of investment options that invest in stocks, or shares of ownership, in companies with their principal place of business or office outside of the U.S.
(g)    This category is comprised of investment options that invest in bonds, or debt of a company or government entity (including U.S. and non-U.S. entities). These investment options typically carry more risk than short-term fixed income investment options, but less overall risk than equities.
(h)    This category is comprised of investment options that invest in real estate investment trusts or private equity pools that own real estate. These long-term investments are primarily in office buildings, industrial parks, apartments or retail complexes. These investment options typically carry more risk, including liquidity risk, than fixed income investment options.
Schedule of Benefit Payments
The following table reflects the benefits as of September 26, 2021 expected to be paid through 2030 from the Company’s pension and other postretirement plans. The Company’s pension plans are primarily funded plans. Therefore, anticipated benefits with respect to these plans will come primarily from the trusts established for these plans. The Company’s other postretirement plans are unfunded. Therefore, anticipated benefits with respect to these plans will come from the Company’s own assets.
