ONE LIBERTY PROPERTIES INC Commitments Disclosure
NOTE 14 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company maintains a non-contributory defined contribution pension plan covering eligible employees. Contributions by the Company are made through a money purchase plan, based upon a percent of the qualified employees’ total salary (subject to the maximum amount allowed by law). Pension expense approximated $436,000, $431,000 and $436,000 for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is included in General and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of income.
The Company is party to (i) leases obligating it to provide tenant improvement allowances and (ii) various legal proceedings. Management believes these allowances and proceedings are routine, incidental to the operation of the Company’s business and that such allowance payments or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

About Commitments Disclosures
Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.
Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
