_____________

(1)The net actuarial (gain) loss for U.S. Plans primarily reflects (i) the remeasurement of our primary U.S. pension plans as a result of the payment of periodic settlements and (ii) adjustments for the actuarial valuation results based on the January 1st plan census data.

(2)Amounts represent the pre-tax effect included within Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Refer to Note 18 - Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income for related tax effects and the after-tax amounts.

There are no mandatory contributions required in 2021 for our U.S. tax-qualified defined benefit plans to meet the minimum funding requirements.

Defined Contribution Plans

In the first quarter 2021, the Company suspended, and will not make, its full year 2021 employer matching contribution for its U.S. based 401(k) plan for salaried (non-union) employees. The suspension is expected to result in savings of approximately $20 for the year ending December 31, 2021.
