Long-Term Employee Benefits
Long-Term Employee Benefits 
Pension Plans
The workforce reductions in the first quarter of 2016 related to the 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan triggered a curtailment for company's principal U.S. pension plan. As a result, the company recorded a curtailment loss of $49 and re-measured the principal U.S. pension plan as of March 31, 2016. The curtailment loss was driven by the change in the benefit obligation based on the demographics of the terminated positions partially offset by accelerated recognition of a portion of the prior service benefit. In connection with the re-measurement, the company updated the discount rate assumed at December 31, 2015 from 4.47 percent to 4.13 percent for the plan. The re-measurement increased the underfunded status of the pension plan by $1,191 with a corresponding increase in net loss within other comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Other Long-Term Employee Benefit Plans
As a result of the workforce reductions noted above a curtailment was triggered for the company's other long term employee benefit plans. The company recorded a curtailment gain of $30 and re-measured the associated plans as of March 31, 2016. The curtailment gain was driven by accelerated recognition of a portion of the prior service benefit partially offset by the change in the benefit obligation based on the demographics of the terminated positions. In connection with the re-measurement, the company updated the associated plans’ weighted average discount rate assumed at December 31, 2015 from 4.30 percent to 3.94 percent. The re-measurement resulted in a net increase of $124 to the company’s other long-term employee benefit obligation with a corresponding increase to net loss within other comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
