R.B. Pamplin Corporation and Subsidiaries Pension Plan and Trust
Sponsored by R. B. Pamplin Corporation, Lake Oswego, OR
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 31 Dec 2024, R.B. Pamplin Corporation and Subsidiaries Pension Plan and Trust covered 1,950 participants and held $118M in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by R. B. Pamplin Corporation of Lake Oswego, Oregon.
Net assets came to $60,585 per participant, well below the $87,935 median for defined benefit plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and below the $67,961 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.
Employer contributions were $1.6M for the year ($13,232 per active participant) and benefits paid were $8.9M. In a defined benefit plan the employer's contribution follows funding rules rather than a match formula, so it can swing widely from year to year.
Schedule C lists 4 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $480K: $246 per participant, well below the same-size median of $325. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $1.2M. 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 $89.8M in 2011 to $118M in 2024 (up 32%), and participants from 4,066 to 1,950 (down 52%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was disclaimer, from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

Questions and answers
How big is R.B. Pamplin Corporation and Subsidiaries Pension Plan and Trust?
1,950 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 123 were active employees, with net assets of $118,140,856. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 1,000 to 4,999 participants band, which held 1,540 plans in plan year 2024.
What does R. B. Pamplin Corporation contribute per participant?
The filing reports $1,627,506 in employer contributions for the year, which is $13,232 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $10,593 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $479,591 in compensation to service provider organisations, $246 per participant or 0.41% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $325 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $1,228,613. 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.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is R. B. Pamplin Corporation. Investment advisory or management: Gallagher Fiduciary Advisors, LLC. Trustee or custodian: Newport Trust Cmpany, LLC. The financial statements were audited by Forvis Mazars, LLC. 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 disclaimer opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. A disclaimer of opinion was the usual result of a limited-scope audit under the rules in force before 2021 and is not by itself a finding about the plan.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 23 Feb 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.
