During the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, cash contributions to the Company's non-U.S. defined benefit pension plan were $11 million. The Company expects to make cash contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans of $1 million and contributions to non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans of $21 million in 2015. The Company’s expected 2015 contributions may be revised.






Defined Contribution Plans

Most U.S. salaried employees and certain non-U.S. employees are eligible to participate in defined contribution plans by contributing a portion of their compensation, which is partially matched by the Company. For the U.S. defined contribution plan, the Company matches 100% of contributions on the first 6% of pay contributed. The expense related to matching contributions was approximately $2 million and $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The expense related to matching contributions was approximately $7 million and $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
