PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Pension Plans
The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans. Under the plans, pension benefits are based on an employees’ years of service and, for certain categories of employees, qualifying compensation. Company contributions to these pension plans are determined by an independent actuary to meet or exceed minimum funding requirements. In our U.S. plans, the unrecognized cost of any retroactive amendments and actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants as substantially all of the plan participants are inactive. In our non-U.S. plans, the unrecognized cost of any retroactive amendments and actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average future service period of plan participants expected to receive benefits.
The following table presents the components of net periodic pension cost (in millions):
