Note L – Employee Benefit Plans
Post-Retirement Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors various post-retirement benefit plans through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Redwire Space NV (“Space NV”), including three cash balance plans: one defined benefit pension plan with risk-based coverage for death and disability benefits
(collectively, the “Base Plan”) and two supplementary pension bonus plans that provides variable remuneration linked to employees’ performance (the “Performance Plans”). 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 (contributions) 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 an asset recorded within other non-current assets or a liability recorded within other non-current liabilities within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. A net liability is recorded to the extent that the benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of plan assets or a net asset is recorded to the extent that the fair value of plan assets exceeds the benefit obligation.
