Retirement Plans

Pension Plans

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we contributed $1.2 million and $2.0 million to our worldwide pension plans, respectively. We presently anticipate contributing up to $1.0 million to fund our worldwide pension plans during the remainder of 2014.

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 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 have exceeded our expected 2014 interest costs. As a result, a partial settlement event occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and we recognized a settlement loss of $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. A settlement loss of $0.2 million and $1.7 million was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. These settlement losses are included in restructuring and other in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, in connection with the settlement and as required by pension accounting, we remeasured the funded status of our U.S. defined benefit plan as of September 30, 2014 and have adjusted the funded status on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2014, accordingly.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a curtailment gain in the amount of $0.7 million relating to our pension plan in Japan. This amount was recorded in restructuring and other in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We have a defined benefit pension plan located in the United Kingdom (UK Plan) for former employees with no current employees in the plan. On September 17, 2013, we settled our UK Plan by way of a transaction with Pension Insurance Corporation (PIC) whereby PIC fully assumed the projected benefit obligation and underlying plan assets. The net balance assumed by PIC represents an asset balance of $6.4 million and no cash consideration was paid in connection with this transaction. As a result of this transaction, we removed this net asset and related unrecognized net actuarial loss in other comprehensive loss and recorded a loss of $10.6 million in restructuring and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Additionally, the settlement of the UK Plan resulted in the removal of a deferred tax liability related to the plan resulting in a $2.3 million credit to income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. It is a standard practice in the United Kingdom (UK) for a review process by the UK government, entailing a review of the plan obligations and participant data, to occur upon a transaction such as this one involving a transfer of a pension plan. During the third quarter of 2014, we had an additional obligation of $0.5 million associated with a true-up of the transaction that we have recorded in restructuring and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
