Post-Retirement Benefit Plans
As a result of the Space NV acquisition, the Company sponsors various post-retirement benefit plans for certain non-U.S. employees including two cash balance plans: (i) a defined benefit pension plan with risk-based coverage for death and disability benefits (collectively, the “Base Plan”) and (ii) a supplementary pension bonus plan that provides variable remuneration linked to employees’ performance (the “Performance Plan”). The Company has taken actions to mitigate the risk related to its post-retirement benefit plans through pension risk transfer transactions whereby the Company subscribes to group insurance policies, which are funded by employee and employer premiums determined at the beginning of each plan year. The Company has determined that the unit of account is the insurance contract and therefore, on a plan-by-plan basis, recognizes the net funded status as either a net liability, to the extent that the benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of plan assets, or a net asset, to the extent that the fair value of plan assets exceeds the benefit obligation.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company maintained two dormant pension accounts for former ROS employees who have chosen not to transfer their contributions to a new employer as of the respective dates. The Company’s obligations under these plans were not significant individually or in the aggregate and, as such, are not included in the following tables. Prior to the acquisition of Space NV on October 31, 2022, the Company did not participate in any defined benefit plans. Therefore, there were no corresponding amounts reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements prior to that date.
