⁽¹⁾ Includes $4.4 and $8.9 of U.S. pension in 2016 and 2015, respectively, and immaterial amounts of the postretirement benefit plans (related to the U.S.) in 2016 and 2015, which are included in discontinued operations. Amounts associated with the pension and postretirement benefit plans in Canada and the postretirement benefit plan in Puerto Rico, which are included in discontinued operations, have been excluded from all amounts in the table above.

As part of the separation of the North America business, we transferred an initial estimate of $499.6 of pension liabilities under the U.S. defined benefit pension plan associated with current and former employees of the North America business and certain other former Avon employees, along with $358.0 of assets held by the U.S. defined benefit pension plan, to a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by New Avon. We also transferred an initial estimate of $60.4 of other postretirement liabilities (namely, retiree medical and supplemental pension liabilities) in respect of such employees and former employees. See Note 3, Discontinued Operations. We continue to retain certain U.S. pension and other postretirement liabilities primarily associated with employees who are actively employed by Avon outside of the North America business.

As of March 31, 2016, we made approximately $25 and $5 of contributions to the U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans, respectively. During the remainder of 2016, we anticipate contributing approximately $1 and $15 to $20 to fund our U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans, respectively.
