Sponsored by Oldenburg Group Incorporated, Glendale, WI
Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
In the plan year ending 30 Nov 2025, Lake Shore, Inc. Steelworkers Pension Plan covered 163 participants and held $3.0M in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Oldenburg Group Incorporated of Glendale, Wisconsin.
Net assets came to $18,521 per participant, well below the $80,556 median for defined benefit plans with 100 to 249 participants and well below the $68,040 median for defined benefit plans in manufacturing. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Schedule C lists 3 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $33K: $201 per participant, well below the same-size median of $451. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $50K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $3.8M in 2009 to $3.0M in 2024 (down 21%), and participants from 268 to 163 (down 39%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $451 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $50,426. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.

The sponsor is Oldenburg Group Incorporated. Recordkeeping or administration: Egps, LLC. The financial statements were audited by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Dec 2024 to 30 Nov 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 10 Sep 2026. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
