REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Participants and Administrator Committee of

The Prudential Employee Savings Plan

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits (modified cash) of The Prudential Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2019, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits (modified cash) for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits (modified cash) of the Plan as of December 31, 2019, and the changes in net assets available for benefits (modified cash) for the year ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with the modified cash basis of accounting described in Note 2.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Basis of accounting

We draw attention to Note 2 of the financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Supplemental Information

The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule of assets (held at year end) as of December 31, 2019 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

The Prudential Employee Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

1.	Description of the Plan

The following description of The Prudential Employee Savings Plan (the “Plan” or “PESP”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan documents for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan generally covering all United States employees and statutory agents of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (the “Company”) and its participating affiliates. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

Participation

Each eligible employee may enroll in PESP at any time, starting on their first day of employment with the Company and its participating affiliates.

Employees who do not affirmatively elect either to participate or to decline participation in PESP within 30 days of hire, are enrolled automatically in PESP until they affirmatively elect otherwise.

Contributions

Employee Contributions. Participants can contribute from 1% to 50% of eligible earnings as defined in the Plan, in any combination of before-tax, Roth 401(k) (after-tax), and/or traditional after-tax contributions. Contributions for participants enrolled automatically will be at 4% of eligible earnings and characterized as Roth 401(k) (after-tax) contributions. Rollover contributions are allowed.

Participants may elect to increase, decrease or stop their contributions at any time, subject to the Company’s Personal Securities Trading Policy and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rules.

Roth In-Plan Rollovers. Participants may elect to rollover all or a portion of their vested Plan account that is then available for distribution or in-service withdrawal into Roth (after-tax) funds. Participants are required to pay income taxes on the amount rolled over and, assuming the applicable holding period and distribution requirements are satisfied, the Roth In-Plan Rollover held in the Plan together with subsequent investment earnings will not be subject to Federal income taxes at the time of distribution. Participants are permitted to make up to four (4) separate Roth In-Plan Rollovers in a single plan year.

Roth In-Plan Rollovers, totaling $4,299,231 in 2019, are included in “Rollovers” and “Benefits paid to participants” in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Company Matching Contributions. The Company matches 100% of before-tax and Roth 401(k) contributions up to a maximum of 4% of eligible earnings. Home Office employees are eligible for Company matching contributions beginning with their first contribution to the Plan. Prudential Advisors Financial Professionals and Financial Professional Associates are required to complete one year of service with the Company prior to becoming eligible for Company matching contributions.

In 2018, the Plan was amended to provide for Discretionary Company Contributions to be made in a given plan year to eligible participants. Pursuant to the amendment, in June 2018, each eligible Company employee, generally in administrative, business support and entry level professional roles, received a one-time Discretionary Company Contribution of $2,500 credited to the employee’s PESP account to supplement their retirement savings.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

Catch-Up Contributions. Participants age 50 or older who will reach the 401(k) limit for contributions for the year or certain of the Plan’s other limits for contributions, may be eligible to make before-tax and Roth 401(k) catch-up contributions to the Plan during the plan year from eligible earnings. Catch-up contributions are not eligible for Company matching contributions. For 2019, catch-up contributions were limited to $6,000 per participant.

PESP Company Match True-Up. The PESP Company Match True-Up Feature ensures that participants receive the maximum company matching contributions for which they are eligible, subject to applicable legal and Plan requirements. The PESP Company Match True-Up contribution will be processed during the first quarter of each year, based on prior year contributions and earnings.

Contributions are subject to certain limitations imposed by applicable provisions of the Plan and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), including compliance with applicable statutory limits and non-discrimination rules.

Participant Account

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and allocations of (a) the Company’s matching contributions, and (b) the Plan’s net earnings. Allocations are made pursuant to the terms of the Plan based on the participant’s eligible earnings and account balances. A participant is entitled to the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their before-tax, Roth 401(k), after-tax, and rollover contributions plus earnings thereon. Generally, participants become 100% vested in Company matching contributions upon the completion of three years of vesting service.

Vesting will be accelerated and participants will be 100% vested in the Company’s matching contribution and earnings thereon upon reaching age 65, or as a result of death, or becoming totally disabled while an employee. A participant will be considered totally disabled for purposes of the Plan if he or she is eligible to receive long-term disability benefits under The Prudential Welfare Benefits Plan.

Forfeitures

If a participant terminates employment with the Company prior to full vesting, the non-vested portion of his or her account attributable to the Company matching contributions and earnings thereon is forfeited. If the participant is reemployed within five years from the date of termination, the forfeited amount may be reinstated, subject to certain Plan provisions. During the five-year period, as stated above, the pending forfeiture amounts will continue to be invested in accordance with the participant’s investment directions or the Plan’s default investment provisions, as applicable. Any amounts not reinstated to a participant, after the five-year period, are considered forfeitures that the Plan permits to be used to reduce future Company matching contributions or to pay administrative expenses.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, forfeiture amounts, which are invested in accordance with the terms of the PESP plan document, amounted to $3,483,733 and $1,984,904, respectively. Forfeitures of $2,036,462 were used to reduce the Company’s matching contributions in 2019.

Aggressive Growth Fund - The Prudential IncomeFlex Select Aggressive Growth Fund invests in a fixed asset allocation of underlying funds that are separate accounts available under group variable annuity contracts issued by the Company and the Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company, an affiliate of the Company. The asset class mix for this fund is 70% stock (56% U.S. stocks and 14% international stocks) and 30% bonds. Each portfolio is rebalanced daily.

Conservative Growth Fund - The Prudential IncomeFlex Select Conservative Growth Fund invests in a fixed asset allocation of underlying funds that are separate accounts available under group variable annuity contracts issued by the Company and the Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company, an affiliate of the Company.

Moderate Growth Fund - The Prudential IncomeFlex Select Moderate Growth Fund invests in a fixed asset allocation of underlying funds that are separate accounts available under group variable annuity contracts issued by the Company and the Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company, an affiliate of the Company. The asset class mix for this fund is 55% stock (44% U.S. stocks and 11% international stocks) and 45% bonds. Each portfolio is rebalanced daily.

Prudential IncomeFlex Target Balanced Fund

Prudential IncomeFlex Target is a product that provides certain guarantees on retirement income. The investment option under Prudential IncomeFlex Target is the Prudential IncomeFlex Target Balanced Fund, which invests in a mix of the index funds currently offered in PESP. The index funds invest in bonds (40%), U.S. stocks (45%), and international stocks (15%) and are rebalanced daily. Unlike a target date fund, the Prudential IncomeFlex Target does not reduce exposure to the stock market as participants get older. In exchange for a guarantee fee of 0.95%, Prudential IncomeFlex Target provides guaranteed lifetime income, potential for income and asset growth, downside market protection for retirement income, and flexible access to market value. The guaranteed fee is applied only to those dollars invested in Prudential IncomeFlex Target. Prudential IncomeFlex Target does not guarantee market value, which will fluctuate with market volatility. The underlying index funds are separate accounts available under group variable annuity contracts issued by the Company and by Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company, an affiliate of the Company.

As of December 31, 2019, the asset allocation by the Plan’s investment options under the Prudential IncomeFlex Select and Prudential IncomeFlex Target are shown in the following chart:

GoalMaker^®

GoalMaker^® is a computer asset allocation program available to participants. It establishes 12 portfolios, each invested in a different asset allocation mix. Participants select a portfolio based on their completion of an investment risk profile and estimated time to retirement; defaulting participants are assigned to the conservative portfolio applicable to their current age, assuming retirement at age 65, the Plan’s normal retirement age. GoalMaker^® provides automatic rebalancing of investments once per quarter.

Payment of Benefits

When employment with the Company and its affiliates ends, if the value of a vested participant’s account is in excess of $5,000, the participant may elect to (a) receive a lump sum distribution equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account, (b) receive an annuity from the Company in the amount that can be purchased with the vested value in his or her account, (c) receive a combination of a single payment for less than the total vested value of his or her account plus an annuity, (d) receive partial distributions (no more than five withdrawals per Plan year, and the amount of any such withdrawal must equal at least $300), or (e) delay taking a distribution of the vested value of his or her account until it is required by law. If the value of a terminated vested participant’s account is $5,000 or less, the participant may not defer distribution of his or her account.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

Actively employed participants can make in-service withdrawals from PESP. The amount available for in-service withdrawals includes amounts credited to a participant’s After-Tax Contributions Account, Rollover Contributions Account, and pre-2001 Company Matching Contributions Account. Participants who have attained age 59¹⁄₂ can also withdraw amounts from their Before-Tax Contributions Account, Roth 401(k) Contributions Account and Roth In-Plan Rollover Contributions Account. Participants can make up to five withdrawals each calendar year, and the withdrawals are subject to a 10% Federal early distribution tax for participants less than 59¹⁄₂ years of age, in addition to the regular income tax that applies, except for After-Tax Contribution amounts. Other penalties may apply to Roth 401(k) and Roth In-Plan Rollover amounts if the withdrawals are not qualified distributions.

When funds are not available from an in-service withdrawal or when a loan will create a hardship, participants may apply for a hardship withdrawal without first taking a loan. To qualify for a hardship withdrawal under the Plan, participants must demonstrate that they need the money to meet an immediate and heavy financial need for which they have no other resources available to them.

Participant Loans

Participants may take loans from their Before-Tax Contributions Account and/or Rollover Contributions Account.

Loans may range from a minimum of $500 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of:

$50,000 reduced by the participant’s highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding twelve months in the Plan, or

50% of their entire vested Plan account, or

100% of the value of the sum of the balance, if any, of the participant’s Before-Tax Contribution Account and Rollover Contributions Account.

The $50,000 maximum includes all loans to the participant from any Plan maintained by the Company or an affiliate of the Company.

Only one loan is permitted to be outstanding at any time. The loan repayment period may range from one to five years. Currently, the interest rate applicable to the loan is the prime rate as of the fifteenth business day of March, June, September or December and is effective for loans initiated during the following quarter.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The modified cash basis of accounting is a cash receipt and disbursement method of accounting unlike U.S. GAAP where information is reported on an accrual basis. However, under the modified basis of accounting investments are stated at fair value, which is consistent with U.S. GAAP.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with a modified cash basis of accounting requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value (see Note 5 for more information on fair value measurements), except for its investment contract (the “PESP Fixed Rate Fund”), which is valued at contract value (see Note 3).

The fair value of investments is based on quoted redemption values of participation units or shares owned, in the case of registered investment companies.

Purchases

Purchases of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis.

Income Recognition

The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net appreciation/ (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on those investments.

Interest, dividend and other income is recorded when received.

Sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Participant Loans

Participant loans are funded directly from the participant’s account balance. Repayments of principal and interest related to the loan are credited to the participant’s account on a pro-rata basis based on their selected investment options. The carrying value is cost, which approximates fair value.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Plan considers the applicability and impact of all ASU. ASU listed below include those that have been issued but not yet adopted as of the date of this filing. ASU not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or not material.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU No. 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, Codification Improvements. ASU No. 2018-09 modifies the disclosure requirements on removing the stable value common collective trust fund previously illustrated as net asset value per share practical expedient to avoid the interpretation that the such an investment would never have a readily determinable fair value. ASU No. 2018-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, (public business entities) and after December 15, 2019 (all others).

Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2018-13 and ASU No. 2018-09 and does not expect any of the implementations to have a material effect on the Plan’s financial statements and disclosures.

3.	Investment Contract with Insurance Company

The PESP Fixed Rate Fund (the “Fund”) is a fully benefit-responsive investment contract and is valued at contract value.

The Fund represents the fixed dollar account under an unallocated group annuity contract. Contract value is based upon contributions made under the contract, plus interest credited, and less participant withdrawals. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise.

The Fund credits interest on an annual effective rate basis. The interest crediting rate is reset periodically; as of the date of these financial statements, the reset occurs once each calendar quarter. The annual effective interest crediting rate for 2019 was 3.50%. The minimum crediting rate is 3.50%. As of the date of these financial statements, the crediting rate is based on a contract formula utilizing a number of factors. One of those factors includes a reference to the performance of a hypothetical investment portfolio consisting of public debt, private placement debt, and mortgage loans, net of a notional expense ratio of 0.23%. The resulting interest crediting rate is subject to the current contractual minimum crediting rate of 3.50%. Key factors that could influence future interest crediting rates are changes in interest rates, and default or credit failures of the reference portfolio.

There is no event that limits the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. There are also no events and circumstances that would allow the issuer to terminate the fully benefit-responsive investment contract with the Plan and settle at an amount different from contract value.

5.	Fair Value Measurements

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a framework for measuring fair value. This framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (“Level 1” measurements), the next priority to quoted values based on observable inputs (“Level 2” measurements), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (“Level 3” measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows:


Level 1	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access. For example, stocks listed on a recognized exchange or listed mutual funds.

Level 2	Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

	•	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

	•	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

	•	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

	•	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

	If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The methods described below may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Prudential Employee Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

Registered Investment Companies - are mutual funds registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The investment held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded, are required to publish their daily net asset values (“NAV”) and to transact at that price. The Plan values these investments at the closing price reported by the registered investment company on the reporting date.

Master Trust and Custom Plan Investments - The investments in the master trust and custom plans are valued based upon quoted market prices, where available. Investments in short-term investment funds, are valued using NAV based on the underlying assets in the fund. The NAV is provided by the trustee, transfer agent or other agent of the fund. The fair value of other investments, are estimated using pricing models, quotes prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.

Insurance Company Separate Accounts, Common/Collective Trusts, Prudential IncomeFlex Select and Prudential IncomeFlex Target - The Plan determines the estimated fair value of these investment options by reference to their underlying assets, which are comprised primarily of equity securities and bonds (See Note 1 for additional information on the underlying assets in each investment option). The Plan expresses the estimated fair value of the underlying asset in each investment option as a “unit of account” value. The unit of account value represents the price at which the participant-directed transactions are effected. The unit of account value, as provided by the trustees, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no unfunded commitments and the redemption frequency was daily on these investment options. The following summarizes the investor-level redemption restrictions for these investments:


Redemptions
Investment		Restrictions
Insurance Company Separate Accounts		Under severe adverse economic conditions, delay up to 6 months. The real estate separate account may delay up to 12 months, if negative impact on other investor.

Common/Collective Trusts		Withdrawals may be limited to the greater of $2 million or 5% of the value of the assets in the Fund. This restriction does not apply to Wellington Trust Company, NA CIF II Diversified Inflation Hedges Portfolio and Wellington Trust Company, NA CIF II International Opportunities Portfolio.

Prudential IncomeFlex		Under severe adverse economic conditions, delay up to 6 months.

For more recent and detailed information on the terms and conditions under which participants may redeem investments, please see the relevant Plan and investment documentation (e.g., prospectus) for each investment or contact the Plan recordkeeper for more information.

8.	Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and amend or terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their Company matching contributions account.

9.	Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”)

The ESOP portion of the Plan was established in accordance with sections 401(a), 4975(e)(7) of the IRC and section 407(d)(6) of ERISA. The ESOP invests primarily in qualifying employer securities in accordance with IRC section 4975(e)(8). An ESOP account is established for each participant in the Plan, and is invested in the PFI Common Stock Fund. To fund the ESOP, the recordkeeper, annually, transfers (“sweeps”) to the ESOP portion all of the participant’s fully vested amounts in the non-ESOP portion of the PFI Common Stock Fund. Participants may redirect the amounts credited to the ESOP account into any other investment option subject to certain limitations including, but not limited to, the provisions of the Company’s personal securities trading policy. Funds that are swept into the ESOP portion are treated the same as funds in the non-ESOP portion for purposes of distributions, reallocations, and transfers. Cash dividends, if declared on shares of PFI Common Stock, are paid to the ESOP each calendar quarter. An eligible participant may make an election in February of each plan year, to receive a distribution of the cash dividends or to reinvest them in his or her ESOP account. The participant’s election will apply to all cash dividends paid to the ESOP in each calendar quarter for the applicable plan year. Participants cannot contribute directly to the ESOP.

The Prudential Employee Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

The trustee of the Plan purchases shares of PFI common stock on behalf of the PFI Common Stock Fund at fair value or by private purchase. Voting rights in shares of PFI common stock held by the Plan shall be exercised by the trustee in a timely manner and by the direction of the participants. Dividends and other income credited to the PFI Common Stock Fund are allocated to all participants with units in the PFI Common Stock Fund when such amounts are received by the Plan.

10.

Tax Status

The IRS issued a favorable determination letter dated April 20, 2017, confirming that the Plan continues to satisfy the requirements for tax-qualified status under Section 401(a) of the IRC. The Plan Administrator and the Company’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and no provision for income tax is necessary.

U.S. GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2017.

11.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term, and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

12.

Interest in Master Trust

A portion of the Plan’s investments are in the Master Trust which was established for the investment of assets of the Plan and other defined contribution plans sponsored by affiliated companies. The assets of the Master Trust are held by the “Trustee”. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was 100%.
