Notable Quotes 2
In the event that our defined benefit pension plans are terminated for any reason, we could be liable to the PBGC for the entire amount of the underfunding, as calculated by the PBGC based on its own assumptions (which likely would result in a larger obligation than that based on the actuarial assumptions used to fund such plans).
As of February 28, 2015, our estimate of the company's share of the underfunding of multiemployer plans to which it contributes was $3.0 billion.
Red Flags 2
- Significant underfunding of multiemployer pension plans.
- Potential for substantial withdrawal liabilities.
