The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss into net periodic benefit cost during the 2012 fiscal year is $3.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

During the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, the Company contributed $10.9 million and $5.7 million, respectively, to defined benefit pension plans. The Company expects to make an additional contribution of $0.5 million in 2012. The Company contributed a total of $6.5 million in 2011. The assumptions used in the valuation of the Company’s pension plans and in the target investment allocation have remained the same as those disclosed in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 29, 2012.
