The funds had $171 million, $138 million, $14 million and $12 million in assets in the plan as of Dec. 31, according to the company's June 26 11-K filing with the SEC.
The plan also added the Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund, managed by Vanguard Group, and the PGIM Core Plus Bond Fund collective investment trust, managed by PGIM Investments, which had $56 million and $39 million in assets in the plan, respectively, as of Dec. 31.
