1 Pursuant to the applicable bargaining agreements, benefits can be paid from certain VEBAs that are at least 70% funded (all VEBAs were over 70% funded at December 31, 2024). Certain agreements with plans holding VEBA assets have capped healthcare costs. For the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Steel LLC VEBA, we are required to make contributions based on earnings, and we may withdraw money from the VEBA plan to the extent funds are available for costs in excess of the cap. VEBA withdrawals are represented net of direct payments. There will be no further contributions to the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Steel LLC VEBA based on earnings for the remainder of the labor agreement with the USW, which expires in September 2026.
