NOTE 6: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

We sponsor a funded defined-benefit cash balance pension plan (“Pension Plan”) and an unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) principally benefiting our former employees. Effective January 1, 2007, we amended the Pension Plan, suspending future benefit accruals for all participants, except certain participants who as of December 31, 2006 had attained age 55, completed 10 years of credited service, and who were not considered to be highly compensated employees. Effective March 13, 2009, we amended the Pension Plan, suspending future benefit accruals for all remaining participants. We fund the Pension Plan in accordance with regulatory funding requirements. The components of net periodic benefit cost related to the Pension Plan and SERP for the three and six months ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011 were as follows:

    Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
    July 28, July 30, July 28, July 30,
    2012 2011 2012 2011
Interest cost$ 1,311 $ 1,560 $ 2,620 $ 3,260
Expected return on plan assets  (1,758)   (1,906)   (3,481)   (4,006)
Amortization of net loss  689   548   1,415   1,127
 Net periodic benefit cost$ 242 $ 202 $ 554 $ 381

We contributed $928 and $1,856 to the Pension Plan during the three and six months ended July 28, 2012, respectively, and expect additional funding requirements of approximately $2,522 for the remainder of fiscal year 2012.
