Note 4 Retirement and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

 

We maintain qualified and nonqualified defined benefit retirement plans covering certain current and former U.S. and European employees, retirement savings plans covering eligible U.S. employees and certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans covering eligible U.S. retirees. We also participate in a union sponsored multi-employer pension plan covering certain U.S. employees with union affiliations.

We generally fund our U.S. non-qualified defined benefit retirement plans when benefit payments are incurred. Under the provisions of these non-qualified plans, we expect to contribute $25.9 million in 2014 to cover unfunded benefits. We contributed $0.3 million to our U.S. non-qualified defined benefit retirement plans during the 2013 fiscal year.

 

We contributed $1.7 million and $1.3 million to our European defined benefit retirement plans in the second quarters of 2014 and 2013.  Contributions to the defined benefit retirement plans were $3.1 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.  We plan to contribute approximately $3.8 million during 2014 to these European plans.  We contributed $5.9 million to our European plans during the 2013 fiscal year.
