Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is engaged from time-to-time in routine legal proceedings incidental to its business. The Company does not believe that these routine legal proceedings, taken as a whole, will have a material impact on its business or financial condition. While the ultimate effect of such actions cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that their outcome will not result in an adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operating results or liquidity.

The Company has contributed and is required to continue making contributions to the Central States Southeast and Southwest Pension Fund (the “Central States Plan” or the “Plan”), a multi-employer pension plan, based on obligations arising from certain of its collective bargaining agreements. If the Company were to cease making such contributions and triggered a withdrawal from the Plan, it is possible that the Company would be obligated to pay withdrawal liability to the Plan if the Plan is underfunded at the time of such withdrawal. Based on the most recent information available to the Company, management believes that the Plan’s present value of actuarial accrued liabilities significantly exceeds the value of the assets held in the Plan’s trust to pay benefits. Management is not aware of any facts that could give rise to any assessment of withdrawal liability against the Company or any significant change in funding levels in the Plan since January 1, 2022. Due to uncertainty regarding future factors that could trigger withdrawal liability, as well as the absence of specific information regarding matters such as the Plan’s current financial situation, we are unable to determine with certainty the current amount of the Plan’s underfunding and/or the Company’s current potential withdrawal liability exposure in the event of a future withdrawal from the Plan. Any adjustment for withdrawal liability would be recorded when it is probable that a liability exists and can be reasonably determined.

On March 10, 2021, the United States Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “Act”), which provides financial relief to certain failing multiemployer pension plans. In accordance with the interim guidance issued by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC") on July 9, 2021, the Act is designed to prevent such plans from becoming insolvent for the next 30 years. On April 28, 2022, the Central States Plan submitted an application to the PBGC for relief. As the Central States Plan is in a critical and declining status, it is expected to qualify for relief under the Act. The PBGC has up to 120 days from the date of submission to review the application. The legislation and the available relief are designed to alleviate the risk of insolvency of the Plan for the next 30 years.
