11.	Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Retirement Plans

The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering certain international employees. Pension benefits to retired employees are based upon the employees’ length of service and a percentage of their qualifying compensation during the final years of employment. The Company’s pension funding policy is consistent with federal/statutory funding requirements. The Company also maintains unfunded postretirement plans, which provide medical benefits for eligible U.S. retirees and their dependents and for retirees and employees in Canada. The cost of such benefits is recognized during the employees’ respective active working careers. The Company recognizes the unfunded status of a benefit plan in the balance sheet as a long-term liability and recognizes the overfunded status of any benefit plan as a long-term asset. Any previously unrecognized gains or losses are recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet within accumulated other comprehensive income.

International Pension Plan Termination

On December 31, 2014, the Company terminated an international defined benefit pension plan under which approximately 280 participants, including approximately 100 active employees, have accrued benefits. The Company anticipates completing the termination of this plan by the end of the second quarter of 2015, once regulatory approvals are obtained. To effect the termination, the Company estimates, based on December 31, 2014 valuations, that the plan has sufficient assets to purchase annuities for retired participants and make certain deposits to the existing defined contribution plan of active employee participants. The Company estimates that it will incur a one-time non-cash expense of approximately $8 to $11 ($6 to $8 after tax) in 2015 when the plan settlement is completed. This expense is primarily attributable to pension settlement accounting rules which require accelerated recognition of actuarial losses that were to be amortized over the expected benefit lives of participants. The estimated expense is subject to change based on valuations at the actual date of settlement.

The following table provides information on the status of the defined benefit plans at December 31:

In 2014, the change in accumulated other comprehensive loss (income) was a $1.3 increase in the Company’s remaining pension plan obligations and a $4.4 increase in postretirement benefit plan obligations. The changes are related to the change in discount rates for all plans and other actuarial assumptions.

Weighted‑average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations as of December 31 are as follows:

					Nonpension
	Pension Plans				Postretirement Plans
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Discount Rate		3.54%		4.48%		3.77%		4.56%

Net periodic benefit cost	$	(0.3	)	$	1.8		$	1.4		$	(0.2	)	$	0.5		$	1.7

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for years ended December 31 are as follows:

	Pension Costs						Nonpension Postretirement Costs
	2014		2013		2012		2014		2013		2012
Discount Rate		4.28%		4.15%		4.75%		4.54%		3.92%		4.31%

Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets		6.16%		5.45%		5.35%	N/A		N/A		N/A

The Company’s pension and postretirement benefit costs are developed with the assistance of actuarial valuations. These valuations reflect key assumptions provided by the Company to its actuaries, including the discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Material changes in the Company’s pension and postretirement benefit costs may occur in the future due to changes in these assumptions.

The discount rate is subject to change each year, consistent with changes in applicable high-quality, long-term corporate bond indices. Based on the expected duration of the benefit payments for the Company’s pension plans and postretirement plans, the Company refers to an applicable index and expected term of the benefit payments to select a discount rate at which it believes the plan benefits could be effectively settled.

The expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets is selected by taking into account the historical trend, the expected duration of the projected benefit obligation for the plans, the asset mix of the plans and known economic and market conditions at the time of valuation. A 50 basis point change in the expected long-term rate of return would result in an approximate $0.5 change in pension expense for 2015.

In 2015, amounts related to defined benefit plans in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in the income statement are estimated to be income of approximately $0.2.

The Company’s investment policy is designed to provide flexibility in the asset mix based on management’s assessment of economic conditions, with an overall objective of realizing maximum rates of return appropriately balanced to minimize market risks. The Company’s long-term strategic goal is to maintain an asset mix consisting of approximately 60% equity securities and 40% debt/guaranteed investment securities.

The global multi-strategy fund, which was purchased during 2014 for the pension plans in the United Kingdom, represents a series of multiple asset diversified funds invested in equities, bonds and other investments. The global multi-strategy fund is valued at the net asset value per unit multiplied by the number of units held as of the measurement date.

⁽^e⁾

The insurance investment contract is in the form of an insurance policy that was held by the pension plans in the United Kingdom. The investment of the underlying assets was in various managed funds. Insurance contracts are valued at book value, which approximates fair value, and are calculated using the prior year balance adjusted for investment returns and changes in cash flows.

⁽^f⁾	Government fixed income securities held by pension plans in the United Kingdom are valued at the net asset value per share multiplied by the number of shares held as of the measurement date.

⁽^g⁾	Other category includes other investments for pension plans in the international subsidiaries.

The Company made cash contributions of approximately $3.3 to its pension plans in 2014. The Company estimates it will be required to make cash contributions to its pension plans of approximately $2.4 in 2015 to offset 2015 benefit payments and administrative costs in excess of investment returns.

The following benefit payments are expected to be paid from the defined benefit plans (excluding the benefits to be paid at the completed settlement of the international pension plan):

			Nonpension
	Pension		Postretirement
	Plans		Plans
2015	$	2.7	$	1.5

2018		2.7		1.8
2018		2.7		1.9
2020-2024		15.7		9.4

The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation has been determined by application of the provisions of the Company's medical plans, including established maximums and sharing of costs, relevant actuarial assumptions and health‑care cost trend rates projected at approximately 7.2% for 2015 and decreasing to an ultimate rate of approximately 4.5% in 2029. The Company has a maximum annual benefit based on years of service for participants over 65 years of age.

Other Benefit Plans

The Company also maintains a defined contribution profit sharing plan for domestic salaried and certain hourly employees. Amounts charged to earnings for this plan were $12.5, $15.8 and $13.5 in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company also has a domestic employee 401K savings plan. The Company currently matches 50% of each employee’s contribution up to a maximum of 6% of the employee’s earnings. The Company’s matching contributions to the savings plan were $4.5, $4.5 and $3.8 in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan under which certain members of management are eligible to defer a maximum of 85% of their regular compensation (i.e. salary) and incentive bonus. The amounts deferred under this plan are credited with earnings or losses based upon changes in values of notional investments elected by the plan participant. The investment options available include notional investments in various stock, bond and money market funds as well as Common Stock. Each plan participant is fully vested in the amounts the participant defers. The plan also functions as an “excess” plan whereby profit sharing contributions that cannot otherwise be contributed to the qualified savings and profit sharing plan due to limitations under Department of Treasury regulations are credited to this plan. These contributions vest under the same vesting schedule applicable to the qualified plan.

The liability to plan participants for contributions designated for notional investment in Common Stock is based on the quoted fair value of the Common Stock plus any dividends credited. The Company uses cash-settled hedging instruments to minimize the cost related to the volatility of Common Stock. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the amount of the Company’s liability under the deferred compensation plan was $92.2 and $83.5, respectively and the funded balances amounted to $70.1 and $62.8, respectively. The amounts charged to earnings, including the effect of the hedges, totaled $1.8, $2.8, and $2.6 in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Non-employee members of the Company’s Board are eligible to defer up to 100% of their directors’ compensation into a similar plan; however, the only option for investment is Common Stock. Members of the Board are fully vested in their account balance. As of December 31, 2014, there were approximately 167 thousand shares of Common Stock from shares held as Treasury Stock in a rabbi trust to protect the interest of the directors’ deferred compensation plan participants in the event of a change of control.
