_____________________________

(1) The net actuarial loss for U.S. Plans primarily reflects the remeasurement of our primary U.S. pension plans as a result of the payment of periodic settlements.

(2) Amounts represent the pre-tax effect included within Other comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 15 - Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for related tax effects and the after-tax amounts.

Contributions

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we made cash contributions of $36 ($7 U.S. and $29 Non-U.S.) to our defined benefit pension plans and $14 to our retiree health benefit plans. We presently anticipate additional cash contributions of $104 ($18 U.S. and $86 Non-U.S.) to our defined benefit pension plans and $56 to our retiree health benefit plans in 2016 for total full-year cash contributions of approximately $140 ($25 U.S. and $115 Non-U.S.) to our defined benefit pension plans and $70 to our retiree health benefit plans. In 2015, full-year cash contributions to our defined benefit pension plans were $309 ($177 U.S. and $132 Non-U.S.) and $63 to our retiree health benefit plans. The 2016 expected pension plan contributions do not include any planned contributions for our domestic tax-qualified defined benefit plans because none are required to meet the minimum funding requirements. However, once the January 1, 2016 actuarial valuations and projected results as of the end of the 2016 measurement year are available, the desirability of making additional contributions will be reassessed.  Based on these results, we may voluntarily decide to contribute to these plans.
