Pension Plans

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, consistent with the funding requirements of our worldwide pension plans, we did not make any contributions to such plans. Effective January 1, 2010, the U.S. plan was amended to exclude new hires and rehires from participating in the plan. In addition, we eliminated benefit accruals under the U.S. plan as of January 1, 2011, thus “freezing” the defined benefit pension plan. Under the plan freeze, no pay credits were made to a participant’s account balance after December 31, 2010. However, interest credits will continue in accordance with the annual update process. We presently anticipate contributing between $0.5 million and $1 million to fund our worldwide pension plans in the next six months.
