Defined Benefit Pension Settlement
Defined Benefit Pension Settlement	Note 12 - Defined Benefit Pension Settlement During the three-month period ended August 31, 2023, we settled all future obligations under our frozen U.S. defined benefit retirement plan (the “U.S. Retirement Plan”). The settlement included a combination of lump-sum payments to participants who elected to receive them and the transfer of the remaining benefit obligations to a third-party insurance company under group annuity contracts. The purchase of the group annuity contracts was funded directly by assets of the U.S. Retirement Plan and required no additional cash or asset contributions from us. As a result of the settlements, we recognized a non-cash, pre-tax pension settlement charge of $26.7 million ($16.1 million after-tax) related to the accelerated recognition of all unamortized net actuarial losses in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The remaining surplus plan assets are expected to be utilized to fund remaining U.S. Retirement Plan expenses as well as certain contributions associated with one of our qualified 401(k) plans. Surplus plan assets not used for these expenses or 401(k) contributions would be subject to a 20% excise tax upon withdrawal from the plan. As of November 30, 2023, our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included $6.9 million of surplus plan assets reported in Other non-current assets.
