(1) Due to the approval of a plan to close a non-U.S. facility, pension assumptions were reevaluated on March 30, 2012 for the remeasurement of a non-U.S. plan. The facility closure resulted in a curtailment loss of $1.5 million.

The following table provides the weighted-average assumptions used to determine the net periodic benefit cost.
