DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS

RCC Pension Plan — With the acquisition of Robertson-Ceco II Corporation (“RCC”) on April 7, 2006, we assumed a defined benefit plan (the “RCC Pension Plan”). Benefits under the RCC Pension Plan are primarily based on years of service and the employee’s compensation. The RCC Pension Plan is frozen and, therefore, employees do not accrue additional service benefits. Plan assets of the RCC Pension Plan are invested in broadly diversified portfolios of government obligations, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, fixed income securities and master limited partnerships. In accordance with ASC 805, we quantified the projected benefit obligation and fair value of the plan assets of the RCC Pension Plan and recorded the difference between these two amounts as an assumed liability.

The following table sets forth the components of the net periodic benefit cost (in thousands):



	Fiscal Nine Months Ended August 2, 2015
Interest cost	$	1,450
Expected return on assets	(1,653		)
Prior service cost amortization	(7		)
Unrecognized net loss	1,082
Net periodic benefit cost	$	872

During the nine months ended August 2, 2015, we contributed $0.8 million to the RCC Pension Plan. We expect to contribute an additional $0.4 million to the RCC Pension Plan for the remainder of fiscal 2015.

CENTRIA Benefit Plans — As a result of the CENTRIA Acquisition on January 16, 2015, we assumed noncontributory defined benefit plans covering certain hourly employees (the “CENTRIA Benefit Plans”). Benefits under the CENTRIA Benefit Plans are calculated based on fixed amounts for each year of service rendered. CENTRIA has historically sponsored postretirement medical and life insurance plans that cover certain of its employees and their spouses. The contributions to the plans by retirees vary from none to 25% of the total premiums paid. Plan assets of the CENTRIA Benefit Plans are invested in broadly diversified portfolios of equity mutual funds, international equity mutual funds, bonds, mortgages and other funds.

Currently, our policy is to fund the CENTRIA Benefit Plans as required by minimum funding standards of the Internal Revenue Code.

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, we are in the process of remeasuring the projected benefit obligation and fair value of the plan assets of the CENTRIA Benefit Plans. The difference between these two amounts will be recorded as an assumed liability in the allocation of the purchase price. We have preliminarily used the December 31, 2014 actuarial reports to estimate the fair value of the projected benefit obligation and plan assets. The recognition of the net pension asset or liability in the allocation of the purchase price eliminates any previously unrecognized gain or loss and prior service cost. Actuarial assumptions below are based on the December 31, 2014 actuarial report.

The following table sets forth the preliminary funded status of the CENTRIA Benefit Plans and the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet (in thousands):



	Pension Benefits			Other Benefits
	December 31, 2014			December 31, 2014
Fair value of assets	$	14,137		$	—
Benefit obligation	14,427			8,153
Funded status and net amount recognized	$	(290	)	$	(8,153	)

Actuarial assumptions used for the CENTRIA Benefit Plans were as follows:



	Pension Benefits		Other Benefits
	December 31, 2014		December 31, 2014
Assumed discount rate	3.85	%	3.50	%
Expected rate of return on plan assets	7.75	%	N/A

The CENTRIA Benefit Plans weighted-average asset allocations by asset category are as follows:



	December 31, 2014
Equity mutual funds	83	%
Debt securities	17	%
Total	100	%

We expect the following benefit payments to be made, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate (in thousands):



Years Ended December 31	Pension Benefits		Other Benefits
2015	$	764	$	675
2016	702		646
2017	699		694
2018	738		722
2019	780		678
Thereafter	4,263		2,600

Employer contributions – Since January 16, 2015, we have contributed $0.3 million in fiscal 2015 to fund the CENTRIA Benefit Plans.

In addition to the CENTRIA Benefit Plans, CENTRIA contributes to a multi-employer plan, Steelworkers Pension Trust. The minimum required annual contribution to this plan is $0.3 million and the current contract expires on June 1, 2016. If we were to withdraw our participation from this multi-employer plan, we would have a complete withdrawal liability in the amount of $0.7 million.
