_____________
(1)The net actuarial loss for U.S. Pension 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. The 2023 non-U.S. net actuarial gain reflects remeasurements related to the Pension Plan amendments in the U.K. in second quarter 2023. The Retiree Health plan's net actuarial gain reflects 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 19 - Other Comprehensive Income for related tax effects and the after-tax amounts.
Pension Plan Amendment
In January 2024, the pension board of our Netherlands benefit pension plan transferred the plan’s assets and projected benefit obligation (PBO) to a single general pension fund. In addition to the transition, the indexation target was increased from 75% of price inflation to 100% of price inflation. This plan amendment resulted in an increase of approximately $47 (approximately EUR 44 million) in the PBO for this Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) plan, approximately 6% of the plan PBO as of December 31, 2023. From a Company risk perspective, this CDC plan operates just like a frozen defined contribution plan. Although the Company's risk has been mitigated, under U.S. GAAP this CDC plan doesn't meet the definition of a defined contribution plan and therefore continues to be accounted for as a defined benefit plan.
