Other Post-Retirement Benefits In addition to the Company’s pension plans, the Company sponsors plans that provide postretirement
medical and life insurance benefits to certain employees. Retirees share a portion of the cost of the postretirement medical plans. Safeway
pays all the costs of the life insurance plans. The Company also sponsors a Retirement Restoration Plan that provides death benefits and
supplemental income payments for senior executives after retirement. All of these Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans are unfunded.
Canadian Pension and Other Post-Retirement Plans Sobeys assumed Safeway's Canadian pension and post-retirement plan
obligations as part of the overall purchase of Safeway's Canadian operations in November 2013. Accordingly, the activity in these plans are
not included in this footnote unless otherwise noted.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the changes in the retirement plans’ benefit obligation and fair value of assets over the two-
year period ended December 28, 2013 and a statement of the funded status as of year-end 2013 and year-end 2012 (in millions):
