Viad expects to contribute $1.4 million to its funded pension plans, $941,000 to its unfunded pension plans and $950,000 to its postretirement benefit plans in 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, Viad contributed $217,000 to its funded pension plans and $201,000 to its unfunded pension plans. However, due to timing of the fundings, Viad made no contributions to its postretirement benefit plans during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
