Expected returns reflect a combination of historical performance analysis and the forward-looking views of the financial markets, and include input from actuaries, investment service firms and investment managers. The investment objectives of the foreign defined benefit plans are to maximize the return on the investments without exceeding the limits of the prudent pension fund investment, to ensure that the assets would be sufficient to exceed minimum funding requirements, and to achieve a favorable return against the performance expectation based on historic and projected rates of return over the short term. The goal is to optimize the long-term return on plan assets at a moderate level of risk, by balancing higher-returning assets, such as equity securities, with less volatile assets, such as fixed income securities. The assets are managed by professional investment firms and performance is evaluated periodically against specific benchmarks. The plans’ net assets did not December 30, 2018 December 31, 2017. Dutch Plan Assets and Indexation Benefit As is common in Dutch pension plans, the Dutch Plan includes a provision for discretionary benefit increases termed “indexation.” The indexation benefit is meant to adjust pension benefits for cost-of-living increases, similar to U.S. consumer price index-based cost-of-living adjustments for U.S. retirement plans. The indexation benefit is not Both the vested benefit amounts as well as amounts related to the discretionary indexation benefits under the Dutch Plan are paid pursuant to an insurance contract with a private insurer (the “Contract”). The Plan itself is financed by investment assets held within the Contract. The Contract guarantees payment of vested amounts, regardless of whether Plan assets held through the Contract are ultimately sufficient to pay vested amounts, and also provides for payment of the indexation amount on a contingent basis if the actual return on Dutch Plan assets is sufficient to pay it. This type of insurance arrangement is common in The Netherlands, although not Because the prior actual and future projected returns on Dutch Plan assets had been determined to be sufficient to provide for the indexation benefit, in 2017 2016, 2018, not not 2018.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 3 three Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include: ● quoted prices for similar assets in active markets; ● quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets; ● inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset; and ● inputs that are derived principally or corroborated by observable data by correlation or other means. Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the foreign defined benefit plans’ assets at fair value, as of December 30, 2018 December 31, 2017. 3 P ension Plan Assets by Category as of December 3 0 , 201 8 Dutch Plan UK Plan Total (in thousands) Level 1 $ 0 $ 79,146 $ 79,146 Level 2 0 60,913 60,913 Level 3 90,323 18,931 109,254 Total $ 90,323 $ 158,990 $ 249,313 Pension Plan Assets by Category as of December 31, 2017 Dutch Plan UK Plan Total (in thousands) Level 1 $ 0 $ 87,521 $ 87,521 Level 2 0 68,668 68,668 Level 3 127,844 23,133 150,977 Total $ 127,844 $ 179,322 $ 307,166 The tables below detail the foreign defined benefit plans’ assets by asset allocation and fair value hierarchy: 201 8 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in thousands) Asset Class Equity Securities $ 39,392 $ 0 $ 0 Debt and Debt Securities 33,134 38,619 16,012 Other (including cash) 6,620 22,294 93,242 $ 79,146 $ 60,913 $ 109,254 201 7 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in thousands) Asset Class Equity Securities $ 48,285 $ 0 $ 0 Debt and Debt Securities 36,780 41,381 19,883 Other (including cash) 2,456 27,287 131,094 $ 87,521 $ 68,668 $ 150,977 With the exception of the Dutch Plan assets as discussed above, the assets identified as level 3 2018 2017 3 2018 2017: 201 8 201 7 (in thousands) (in thousands) Balance of level 3 assets, beginning of year $ 150,977 $ 127,953 Interest cost 1,682 2,633 Benefits paid (4,090 ) (3,728 ) Assets transferred in to (out of) Level 3 696 (2,089 ) Actuarial gain (loss) (35,202 ) 8,753 Translation adjustment (4,809 ) 17,455 Ending Balance of level 3 assets $ 109,254 $ 150,977 During 2019, $4.2 FISCAL YEAR EXPECTED PAYMENTS (in thousands) 2019 $ 9,762 2020 9,989 2021 10,251 2022 10,356 2023 10,635 2024-2028 55,231 Domestic Defined Benefit Plan The Company maintains a domestic nonqualified salary continuation plan (“SCP”), which is designed to induce selected officers of the Company to remain in the employ of the Company by providing them with retirement, disability and death benefits in addition to those which they may 65 55 15 no 10 10 one three The tables presented below set forth the required disclosures in accordance with applicable accounting standards, and amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements related to the domestic SCP.
