Noob question - Unfunded pension

Hello monkeys,

Doing one of my very first valuations and running across some valuation conundrums. I am valuing Airbus and I am having a bit of a hard time switching from EV to EqV I see an DBO of 19bn while plan assets are at 11 leaving us with a Net pension liability of 8 that should be subtracted from from EV to arrive at equity value. Thing is, if Net Cash already includes marketable securities (13bn) from plan assets, and I subtracted the unfunded pension, am I not double counting the the securities and wrongfully increasing equity value?

Thank you!
