12. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Defined Benefit Plans —No defined benefit plan is maintained for employees of either the Healthcare Services segment or the Pharmacy segment. Prior to 1997, SunLink maintained a defined benefit retirement plan covering substantially all of its domestic employees. Effective February 28, 1997, SunLink amended its domestic retirement plan to freeze participant benefits and closed the plan to new participants. Benefits under the frozen plan are based on years of service and level of earnings. SunLink funds the frozen plan, which is noncontributory, at a rate that meets or exceeds the minimum amounts required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Since the sale of SunLink’s life sciences and engineering segment businesses in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, net pension expense has been classified as an expense of discontinued operations.

At June 30, 2019, the plan’s assets were invested 44% in cash and short term investments, 38% in equity investments and 18% in fixed income investments. The plan’s current investment policy of primarily investing in cash and short term investments is based on the possible need for immediate liquidity as participants withdraw from the plan. The expected return on investment of 4% is based upon the plan’s historical return on assets. The plan expects to pay $88, $50, $48, $59, and $57 in pension benefits in the years ending June 30, 2020 through 2024, respectively. The plan expects to pay $430 in pension benefits for the years June 30, 2025 through 2029, in the aggregate. This assumes the plan participants elect to take monthly pension benefits as opposed to a lump sum payout when they reach age 65. The Company made a contributions of $107 and $100 to the plan during the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and plans to make a contribution of $132 to the plan for the year ended June 30, 2020.
