NOTE H — Employee Benefit Plans
The Company provides postretirement medical, dental and vision benefits for eligible regular
full and part-time domestic employees (including spouses) outlined by the plan. Postretirement
benefits are provided only if the employee was hired prior to April 1, 2008, and retires on or
after attainment of age 55 with 15 years of credited service. Credited service begins accruing at
the later of age 40 or date of hire. All active employees first eligible to retire after July 31,
1992, are covered by an unfunded, contributory postretirement healthcare plan where employer
contributions will not exceed a defined dollar benefit amount, regardless of the cost of the
program. Employer contributions to the plan are based on the employee’s age and service at
retirement.
The Company funds benefit costs on a pay-as-you-go basis. There have been no changes to the
components of net periodic benefit cost or the amount that the Company expects to fund in fiscal
2011 from those reported in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in the
Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2010.
