Schedule of Multiemployer Pension Plans Affecting Period-to-Period Comparability of Contributions Our participation in the AI Pension Plan for 2021, 2020 and 2019 is outlined in the table below. The “EIN/Pension Plan Number” column provides the Employee Identification Number (the “EIN”). Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the “PPA”) zone status available in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is for the plan’s year-end at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The zone status is based on information that we received from the AI Pension Plan. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded (“Critical Status”), plans in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The “FIP/RP Status - Pending/Implemented” column indicates plans for which a Financial Improvement Plan (“FIP”) or a Rehabilitation Plan (“RP”) is either
pending or has been implemented. The last column lists the expiration dates of the collective bargaining agreements to which the plan is subject. The number of employees covered by the AI Pension Plan decreased 18.6% from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020 and decreased 8.5% from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, affecting the period-to-period comparability of the contributions for 2021, 2020 and 2019.
