As a result of our 2019 acquisition of BTG plc. (BTG), we assumed a benefit obligation related to a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by BTG for eligible United Kingdom employees. During the second quarter of 2022, we transferred the benefit obligation and associated assets of the pension plan to third party insurers, and as a result, were relieved from primary responsibility of the benefit obligation and the related plan assets. The transaction did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
