GUICHARD Chairman and CEO Our goal as we began fiscal 2013 was to return the Company to profitability while con- tinuing our commitment to build the strength of the organization, protect our market position, and invest in delivering a superior customer experience. The year was not without challenges, some of our own making. But as we look back over the last twelve months, I am pleased to report that we were ultimately successful on all fronts. We entered our fiscal year last spring trying to make some sense of a complicated and often contradictory mix of market indicators. Supporting an optimistic outlook was an improvement in builder sentiment based on increased traffic through model homes and improved sales contract activity. Permits, construction starts, and home completions were trending upward. Foreclosures and mortgage delinquencies were at multiple year lows. Sales of existing homes were showing signs of life and prices were slowly rising. On the side of pessimism, consumers were showing signs of additional stress. Savings rates were dropping. Debt was increasing. Gas prices rising. And consumer confidence wavering. As I shared in this letter last year, most worrisome was the employment outlook. The generally cited government unemployment rate was declining, but real unemployment 4 AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION ® 2013 ANNUAL REPORT remained painfully high. Adding discouraged workers no longer actively seeking a job, part-time workers that would rather have a full-time position, and underemployed full-time workers to the official unemployment number painted a less than encouraging picture. Our ultimate view was that the financial pressure on both unemployed and underemployed families, combined with gen- eral nervousness about the future, would continue to suppress demand for big ticket, discretionary spending. This would be particularly true for projects related to the battered and bruised housing sector. As a result, we began our fiscal 2013 anticipat- ing a modest increase in revenue based on flat unit demand and some improvement in product mix driven by new products. As we entered the summer, it became clear that the upward trend in new construction activity was not only continuing, but strength- ening. By the time calendar 2012 ended, total housing starts had increased 30%. Single family starts, more relevant to our business, increased 25%. In this environment our new construction related revenue increased more than 40%, significantly outpacing the industry. Our performance was the result of gaining share with builders who were in turn gaining share. Aligning with select national, regional and local builders intent on offering upgraded features also allowed us to increase our average revenue per job. increase. As we began the year, our manufacturing organization Unlike the new construction market, remodel demand remained tepid throughout the year. Private Residential Invest- ment at 2.7% of Gross Domestic Product was slightly improved from the 2.5% in the prior year, but still well below the histori- cal average. The lack of homeowner enthusiasm in making significant capital investments in their property was clearly the dominant factor in our category. Despite this headwind, our remodel business grew at a high single digit rate during the year based on our long standing partnerships with the big box home centers and our developing dealer business. Our Waypoint brand, launched three years ago and designed to meet the unique needs of the dealer channel, accounted for almost half of our overall growth rate in remodel. Combined net sales for the fiscal year increased over 20%, our third consecutive year of double digit growth. Gross margin rose by over 50%. The leverage on incremental volume, however, was below our expectations given the magnitude of the revenue had just completed two plant closures announced in the fall of 2011 and was in the midst of refining new material flows and absorbing the production volume into our remaining facilities. At the same time, we were presented with the unanticipated ramp up in demand from our new construction customers. We did not handle the combination with the efficiency or effective- ness that we expect of ourselves. We responded by absorbing significant excess costs to protect our customers. As a result, our incremental margins suffered during the first half of the year. We completed our corrective actions during the third fiscal quarter and returned to our standard of operating performance during the fourth fiscal quarter. Leverage on incremental volume during the last quarter was more acceptable with gross margin as a percent of sales reaching almost 19%. The combination of additional volume, leverage in cost of goods sold, and continued cost management in our sales, general and administrative accounts resulted in net income of $10 million excluding restructuring charges and net insurance proceeds. AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION ® 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 5 Our employees did an outstanding job during the entire year, delivering a remarkable turnaround in a difficult on-going environment. Operating income before charges and proceeds improved by almost $35 million from the prior year and the Company posted a net profit for the first time since the depths of the housing cycle began in 2009. While our focus during the year was the return to profitability, we remained cognizant of the importance of maintaining finan- cial strength. Cash, including restricted cash, increased by almost $23 million to a record $97 million at year end. For the foreseeable future, we will continue to be cautious in the man- agement of the balance sheet. While fiscal 2013 was encour- aging, we are by no means out of the woods with regard to the economic environment. Many risks remain. We will make sure that we retain our financial strength. As we gain more comfort with the path ahead, we will first and foremost look to reinvest in the business as the industry rebuilds to historically normal levels of activity.

In 2007, we launched the 2013 Vision with a goal to provide a superior customer experience. Over the last six years, we have changed the conversation from simply price and product to the total experience. Service and support have become the third leg of the stool, in many cases even surpassing the importance of product and price to our customers. Our ability to not only weather the economic storm, but to consistently generate revenue growth in excess of the market, is a direct result of pursuing our Vision. Customers ultimately vote with their wallets and our ability to gain share is a direct reflection of providing a total experience and value that others are not. ments, we will look to return this amount to shareholders As we look forward to our next six year vision, we will challenge under our stock repurchase authorization when the opportu- ourselves to think on a much bigger stage.

OVERVIEW American Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen cabinets and vanities for the remodeling and new home construction markets. Its products are sold on a national basis directly to home centers, major builders and home manu- facturers and through a network of independent dealers and distributors. At April 30, 2013, the Company operated 9 manu- facturing facilities and 9 service centers across the country. Faced with an improving but still relatively subdued remodeling market, the Company’s largest remodeling customers and com- petitors continued to utilize an elevated level of sales promo- tions in the Company’s product category during fiscal 2013 to boost sales, although a noticeable easing occurred in the second half of fiscal 2013. The Company strives to maintain its promotional levels in line with market activity, with a goal of remaining competitive. The Company experienced promo- tional levels during fiscal 2013 that were lower than those experienced in its prior fiscal year. The Company’s remodeling AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION ® 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 13 sales increased at a high-single digit pace during fiscal 2013 The Company regularly considers the need for a valuation in a remodeling market that appears to have improved by a bit allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company less than that level. The Company increased its net sales by 22% during fiscal 2013. The Company realized strong sales gains in its new construction channel during fiscal 2013, where sales increased by more than 40%, signif- icantly outpacing the improvement in single-family housing starts. Management believes this result, combined with the Com- pany’s increased remodeling sales, indicates the Company realized market share gains in both of its sales channels during fiscal 2013. had a history of profitable operations for 16 consecutive years, from 1994 to 2009, followed by losses that coincided with the industry downturn from 2010 to 2012. As of April 30, 2013, the Company had total deferred tax assets of $38.7 million, down from $42.1 million at April 30, 2012. Growth in the Com- pany’s deferred tax assets in recent fiscal years resulted primarily from growth in its defined benefit pension liabilities and the impact of its recent losses prior to fiscal 2013. The Company earned sufficient net income during fiscal 2013 to fully utilize During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company announced its Federal net operating loss carryforward. To fully realize several initiatives designed to reduce its cost base (the 2012 Restructuring), including the permanent closure of two manu- facturing plants, the decision to sell a previously closed manu- these net deferred tax assets, the Company will need to, among other things, substantially reduce its net unfunded pension obligation of $53.7 million at April 30, 2013. The Company took facturing facility, and the realignment of its retirement program, definitive actions when it froze its pension plans as part including the freezing of its pension plans. All of these initia- of the 2012 Restructuring to enhance the probability that this tives were completed either prior to or just after the beginning objective is achieved in the future. of the Company’s fiscal 2013, and restructuring charges related to these actions have been reflected in the Company’s results during both years. Gross margin for fiscal 2013 was 16.3%, significantly improved from 12.9% in fiscal 2012. The increase in the Company’s gross margin rate was driven by reductions in the labor and overhead costs associated with the Company’s restructuring activities, the beneficial impact of increased sales volume and the absence of the prior year’s inventory write down, which more than offset the impact of rising materials costs. The Company recorded restructuring charges of $15.9 million (pre-tax) and $10.0 million (after-tax) during fiscal 2012 and $1.4 million (pre-tax) and $0.9 million (after-tax) during fis- cal 2013 in connection with these initiatives. Because the bulk of these restructuring efforts have been completed, the Com- pany expects that its future out-of-pocket costs will be nominal. The Company sold a previously closed plant during fiscal 2013 and continues to include in “Other Assets” at an aggregate $2.7 million book value the other two plants held for sale that were included in the 2012 Restructuring. The Company resumed the funding of its pension plans during fiscal year 2012, and expects to continue funding these plans for the foreseeable future, which will reduce both its unfunded pension plan obligation and its deferred tax asset. These actions, coupled with the recent improvement in the U.S. housing market and the Company’s continued ability to grow its sales at a faster rate than its competitors, have enabled the Company to generate net income and reduce its deferred tax assets and unfunded pension obligation during fiscal 2013. The Company believes that the positive evidence of the housing industry improvement, coupled with the benefits from the Company’s successful restructuring and continued market share gains have already driven a return to profitability that is expected to con- tinue, and that the combined impact of these positive factors outweighs the negative factor of the Company’s previous losses. Accordingly, Management has concluded it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets. The Company also regularly assesses its long-lived assets to determine if any impairment has occurred. The Company has concluded that none of the long-lived assets pertaining to its 9 manufacturing plants or any of its other long-lived assets were impaired as of April 30, 2013. 14 AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION ® 2013 ANNUAL REPORT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (in thousands) Net sales Gross profit Selling and marketing expenses General and administrative expenses Interest expense FISCAL YEARS ENDED APRIL 30 2013 VS. 2012 2012 VS. 2011 2013 2012 2011 PERCENT CHANGE PERCENT CHANGE $ 630,437 102,656 57,402 27,575 643 $515,814 66,475 58,271 25,329 527 $ 452,589 52,751 61,034 22,709 572 22% 54 (1) 9 22 14% 26 (5) 12 (8) NET SALES Net sales were $630.4 million in fiscal 2013, an increase of $114.6 million, or 22%, compared with fiscal 2012.

AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION ® 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 15 SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES Selling and marketing expenses in fiscal 2013 were 9.1% of net OUTLOOK FOR FISCAL 2014 The Company tracks several metrics, including but not limited sales, compared with 11.3% of net sales in fiscal 2012. Selling and to housing starts, existing home sales, mortgage interest marketing costs decreased by 1% despite a 22% increase in net rates, new jobs growth, GDP growth and consumer confidence, sales. The improvement in sales and marketing costs in relation which it believes are leading indicators of overall demand to net sales was due to reduced spending on product launch costs for kitchen and bath cabinetry. The Company believes that and cost reductions related to the Company’s retirement plan housing prices finally bottomed during its fiscal 2012 and changes, which were offset in part by increased sales compensation have begun what it expects will be a multi-year improvement, and staffing costs related to the Company’s increased sales levels. driven by employment growth and a resumption of growth Selling and marketing expenses were 11.3% of net sales in fiscal 2012 compared with 13.5% in fiscal 2011. Cost savings from lower marketing collateral and branding costs, as well as reductions in product display costs more than offset the increases in employee compensation and travel costs incurred by the Company in fiscal 2012. GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES General and administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million or 9% during fiscal 2013. The increase in cost was entirely related to increased pay-for-performance compensation. How- ever, G&A costs declined to 4.4% of net sales in fiscal 2013 compared with 4.9% of net sales in fiscal 2012. General and administrative expenses in fiscal 2012 increased by $2.6 million, or 12%, compared with fiscal 2011 and repre- sented 4.9% of net sales, compared with 5.0% of net sales for fiscal 2011. The majority of the cost increase was related to increased pay-for-performance compensation. EFFECTIVE INCOME TAX RATES The Company generated pre-tax income of $16.7 million during fiscal 2013, including $1.4 million of restructuring charges. The Company’s effective tax rate increased from 37.6% in fiscal 2012 to 41.7% in fiscal 2013. The higher effective tax rate was the result of relatively consistent amounts of permanent tax differences in relation to the net income generated in fiscal 2013 compared with the net loss generated in the prior year. in new household formation. However, because the number of homeowners still owing more than what their homes are worth remains at historically high levels, the Company expects that while the cabinet remodeling market will show modest improvement it will continue to be well below the historic highs reached in the previous decade. Driven by an improving housing market, the Company expects that industry-wide cabinet remodeling sales will continue a trend that began during fiscal 2013 and improve at roughly a mid-single digit rate during its fiscal 2014. The Company expects that its home center market share will be relatively stable in fiscal 2014 and it will continue to gain market share in its growing dealer business. This combination is expected to result in remodeling sales growth that outpaces the market by several percentage points. The Company agrees with the consensus estimate that new construction starts will continue to grow at a mid-20% rate during its fiscal 2014. The Company’s new construction sales growth outperformed the new construction market by approxi- mately 20 points during fiscal 2013, and expects that it will again outperform the new construction market during fiscal 2014 but by a significantly lesser rate, as its comparable prior year sales levels become more challenging. Inclusive of the potential for modest sales mix and pricing improvements, the Company expects that it will grow its total sales at a mid-teen rate in fiscal 2014. The Company experi- enced production inefficiencies during the first half of its fiscal 2013 driven by the combination of work transition issues from its closed plants, coupled with production volume increases that were driven by unexpectedly high sales levels. These issues were resolved during the third quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2013, 16 AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION ® 2013 ANNUAL REPORT enabling the Company’s gross margin rate to improve in the impairments related to the 2012 Restructuring.

Total debt was $24.7 million at April 30, 2013, virtually unchanged from the prior fiscal year refunds of $7.1 million, from increasing funding to its pension plans of $2.9 million, and from funding restructuring costs of $1.2 million. INVESTING ACTIVITIES The Company’s investing activities primarily consist of capital expenditures and investments in promotional displays. Net cash used by investing activities in fiscal 2013 was $6.1 million, compared with $9.9 million in fiscal 2012 and $5.5 million in fiscal 2011. Investments in property, plant and equipment for fiscal 2013 were $8.9 million, compared with $6.7 million in fiscal 2012 and $5.0 million in fiscal 2011. Investments in promotional displays were $4.8 million in fiscal 2013, com- pared with $3.3 million in fiscal 2012 and $3.5 million in fis- cal 2011. The increased level of investment during fiscal 2013 primarily represents machinery and equipment enhancements and long-term debt, excluding current maturities, to capital was to enable production volume to increase and an increase in the 13.9% at April 30, 2013, down from 15.5% at April 30, 2012. number of display units deployed with customers. The Company’s main source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash generated from its operating activities. During fiscal 2013 the Company renegotiated its revolving credit agreement with its primary lender and is no longer required to hold restricted cash to secure borrowings under that agreement. During fiscal 2013, the Company’s reduced net cash used for investing activities was driven by the receipt of $6.4 million in proceeds from the sales of assets from closed plants and insurance proceeds of $1.0 million, which more than offset the aggregate $3.6 million increase in outflows for capital expendi- tures and promotional displays. OPERATING ACTIVITIES Cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2013 was $24.5 mil- lion, compared with $16.1 million in fiscal 2012. The $8.4 million improvement was primarily attributable to the Company’s $22.9 million improvement in net income and reduction in asset The Company generated positive free cash flow (defined as cash provided by operating activities less cash used for invest- ing activities) of $18.4 million during fiscal 2013, compared with $6.1 million in fiscal 2012 and $7.7 million in fiscal 2011.

Future pension funding contributions beyond fiscal 2019 have not been determined at this time. MARKET RISKS The Company’s business has historically been subjected CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Management has chosen accounting policies that are necessary to seasonal influences, with higher sales typically realized to give reasonable assurance that the Company’s operational in the second and fourth fiscal quarters. results and financial position are accurately and fairly reported. The costs of the Company’s products are subject to inflationary pressures and commodity price fluctuations. The Company has generally been able, over time, to recover the effects of inflation and commodity price fluctuations through sales price increases. On April 30, 2013, the Company had no material exposure to changes in interest rates for its debt agreements. The significant accounting policies of the Company are disclosed in Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report. The following discussion addresses the accounting policies that management believes have the greatest potential impact on the presentation of the financial condition and operating results of the Company for the periods being reported and that require the most judgment. The Company does not currently use commodity or interest rate derivatives or similar financial instruments to manage Management regularly reviews these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. its commodity price or interest rate risks.

The most REVENUE RECOGNITION. The Company utilizes signed sales agreements that provide for transfer of title to the customer upon delivery. The Company must estimate the amount of sales that have been transferred to third-party carriers but not delivered to customers. The estimate is calculated using a lag factor deter- mined by analyzing the actual difference between shipment date and delivery date of orders over the past 12 months. Revenue is only recognized on those shipments which the Company believes have been delivered to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue based on the invoice price less allowances for sales returns, cash discounts and other deductions as required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles significant assumptions are the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate used to determine the pres- ent value of the pension obligations. In fiscal 2013 and 2012, the Company determined the discount rate by referencing the Aon Hewitt AA Bond Universe Yield Curve. In fiscal 2011, the Company referred to the Hewitt Above Median Yield Curve in establishing the discount rate. This change was caused by the merger of Aon and Hewitt and the corresponding elimination of the Hewitt Above Median Yield Curve. The Company believes that using a yield curve approach accurately reflects changes in the present value of liabilities over time since each cash flow is discounted at the rate at which it could effectively be settled. The long-term expected rate of return on plan assets reflects the current mix (GAAP). Collection is reasonably assured as determined through of the plan assets invested in equities and bonds. an analysis of accounts receivable data, including historical prod- uct returns and the evaluation of each customer’s ability to pay. Allowances for sales returns are based on the historical relation- ship between shipments and returns. The Company believes that its historical experience is an accurate reflection of future returns. SELF INSURANCE. The Company is self-insured for certain costs related to employee medical coverage and workers’ com- pensation liability.

The Company has two non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering many of the Company’s employ- ees hired prior to April 30, 2012. Effective April 30, 2012, the Company froze all future benefit accruals under the Company’s hourly and salary defined benefit pension plans. because the Company froze its pension plans as of that date. The projected performance of the Company’s pension plans is largely dependent on the assumptions used to measure the obli- gations of the plans and to estimate future performance of the plans’ invested assets. Over the past two measurement periods, the most material deviations between results based on assump- tions and the actual plan performance have resulted from changes to the discount rate used to measure the plans’ benefit 20 AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION ® 2013 ANNUAL REPORT obligations and the actual return on plan assets.

The fair value of plan assets at April 30, 2013 was $95.7 million compared with $85.7 million at April 30, 2012. The Company’s projected benefit obligation exceeded plan assets by $53.7 mil- lion in fiscal 2013 and by $50.5 million in fiscal 2012. The $3.2 mil- lion increase in the Company’s net under-funded position during fiscal 2013 was primarily driven by the Company’s $10.8 million volatility and expected term. The Company estimates expected volatility based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a term equal to the expected term of the option granted. The expected term of stock option awards granted is derived from historical exercise experience under the Company’s stock option plans and represents the period of time that stock option awards granted are expected to be outstanding. actuarial losses, offset in part by a higher return on plan assets For performance-based restricted stock units, the Company and Company contributions.

Amortization is provided by the straight-line method on an indi- vidual display basis over the estimated period of economic bene- fit, approximately 30 to 36 months. The Company believes that the estimated period of economic benefit provides an accurate reflection of the value of displays as of the date of the balance sheet based on historical experience. ment judgment. As a result, if factors change or the Company uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the current period. See Note G to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on stock-based compensation. VALUATION OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS.

The Company hensive Income (Loss) in its financial statements. will continue to update this analysis on a periodic basis and changes in expectations about future income or the timing of the reversal of taxable temporary differences could cause the Company to record a valuation allowance in a future period. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to pres- ent, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The ASU does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other compre- hensive income in financial statements. The ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, “Compre - hensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date of Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU No. 2011-05.” The amendments were made to allow FASB time to redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income. LEGAL MATTERS The Company is involved in suits and claims in the normal course of business, including without limitation product liability and gen- eral liability claims and claims pending before the Equal Employ- ment Opportunity Commission. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company consults with its legal counsel to ascertain the reason- able likelihood that such claims may result in a loss. As required by ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies” (ASC 450), the Company cat- egorizes the various suits and claims into three categories accord- ing to their likelihood for resulting in potential loss: those that are probable, those that are reasonably possible and those that are deemed to be remote. Where losses are deemed to be prob- able and estimable, accruals are made. Where losses are deemed to be reasonably possible or remote, a range of loss estimates is determined and considered for disclosure. Where no loss estimate range can be made, the Company and its counsel perform a worst- In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive case estimate.

The ASU does not change the current requirements for INCOME TAXES: The Company accounts for deferred income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which these items are expected reporting net income or other comprehensive income in finan- cial statements.

As of April 30, 2013, there were 1,133,999 shares of common stock available for future stock-based compensation awards under the Company’s stock incentive plans. METHODOLOGY ASSUMPTIONS For purposes of valuing stock option grants, the Company has identified two employee groups and one non-employee director group, based upon observed option exercise patterns. The Com- pany uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the Company’s stock options for each of the three groups. Using this option-pricing model, the fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant. The fair value of the Company’s For purposes of determining the fair value of RSUs, the Company uses the closing stock price of its common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of grant, reduced by the discounted value of future expected dividend payments during the vesting period, since the recipients are not entitled to dividends during the vesting period. The fair value of the Company’s RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the RSUs to the extent the Company believes it is probable the related performance criteria, if any, will be met. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury constant maturity with a remaining term equal to the vesting period of the RSU grant.

This change was caused by the merger of Aon and Hewitt and the corresponding elimination of the Hewitt Above Median Yield Curve. The Company believes that using a yield curve approach accurately reflects changes in the present value of liabilities over time since each cash flow is discounted at the rate at which it could effectively be settled. In developing the expected long-term rate of return assumption for the assets of the defined benefit pension plans, the Company evaluated input from its third party pension plan asset managers, including their review of asset class return expectations and long- term inflation assumptions. The Company also considered the related historical ten-year average asset returns at April 30, 2013. The Company amortizes experience gains and losses, as well as the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions, over the average remaining lifetime of the active participants.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY: The Company has established formal investment policies for the assets associated with its pension plans. The objectives of the investment strategies include preservation of capital and long-term growth of capital while avoiding excessive risk. Target allocation percentages are estab- lished at an asset class level by the Company’s Pension Commit- tee. Target allocation ranges are guidelines, not limitations, and occasionally the Pension Committee will approve allocations above or below a target range. During a period of uncertainty in the equity and fixed income markets, the Pension Committee may suspend the Target Asset Allocation and manage the investment mix as it sees reasonable, prudent and in the best interest of the plans to better protect the value of the plan assets.
