__________________________________
(1) The pension settlement charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to cash payments made from the Company’s two domestic defined benefit pension plans (the “Plans”) to settle lump sum elections and to fund the purchase of annuities for certain plan participants associated with the union plan termination, which is expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2019. The pension settlement charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to the Plans’ funding of the purchase of annuities for certain pension plan retirees, as well as cash payments made from the Plans to settle lump sum elections.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company made a voluntary contribution to the tax-qualified U.S. pension plan for Union Employees of $7.9 million.
