As of June 30, 2014, we made approximately $48 and $16 of contributions to the U.S. and non-U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plans, respectively. During the remainder of 2014, we anticipate contributing approximately $5 to $10 and $14 to $19 to fund our U.S. and non-U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plans, respectively.
In an effort to reduce our pension benefit obligations, in March 2014, we offered former employees who are vested and participate in the U.S. pension plan a payment that would fully settle our pension plan obligation to those participants who elected to receive such payment. The election period ended during the second quarter of 2014 and the payments were made in June 2014 from our plan assets. As a result of the lump-sum payments made, in the second quarter of 2014, we recorded a settlement charge of $23.5. This settlement charge was allocated between Global Expenses and the operating results of North America.
