Pension Plans
Effective January 1, 2010, the United States defined benefit pension plan was amended to exclude new hires and rehires from participating in the plan. In addition, we eliminated benefit accruals under the U.S. defined benefit pension plan as of January 1, 2011, thus “freezing” the plan. Under the plan freeze, no pay credits will be made to a participant's account balance after December 31, 2010. However, interest credits will continue in accordance with the annual update process.
In connection with actions taken under our announced restructuring programs, the number of employees accumulating benefits under our pension plan in the United States continues to decline. Participants in our U.S. defined benefit pension plan have the option of receiving cash lump sum payments when exiting the plan, which a number of participants exiting the plan have elected to receive. Lump sum payments in 2011 have exceeded our 2010 service and interest costs. As a result, we incurred partial settlement losses of $1.0 million and $0.9 million in the second and third quarters of 2011, respectively. The settlement losses are included in restructuring and other expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, in connection with the settlement and as required by pension accounting guidance, we remeasured the funded status of our U.S. defined benefit pension plan as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we contributed $12.2 million to our worldwide pension plans. We presently anticipate contributing approximately $1 million to $2 million to fund our worldwide pension plans during the remainder of 2011.
