Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

Note 13. Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

We sponsor, or have previously sponsored, numerous funded and unfunded domestic and foreign pension and postretirement benefit plans. The net periodic benefit cost for our domestic pension benefits, foreign pension benefits and postretirement benefits amounted to less than $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Additionally, the net actuarial losses reclassified into the periodic benefit cost for our domestic pension benefits, foreign pension benefits and postretirement benefits amounted to less than $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we contributed approximately $3 million to our pension and postretirement benefit plans. For the remainder of 2014, we expect to contribute approximately $12 million to our pension and postretirement benefit plans. A significant portion of the contributions relate to the foreign pension plans, for which we are reimbursed by our managed hotels.
