14. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

We maintain a defined benefit pension plan covering employees in certain foreign countries.

In connection with the Business Combination, we acquired $29.6 million of additional obligations and $22.3 million of assets related to post-employment benefit plans for certain groups of employees at our new operations outside of the U.S. Plans vary depending on the legal, economic, and tax environments of the respective country. For defined benefit plans, accruals for pensions and similar commitments have been included in the results for this year. The new defined benefit plans are for employees in Switzerland, Italy, Israel and India:

In Switzerland, there are two defined benefit pension plans. Both plans provide benefits in the event of retirement, death or disability. The plan's benefits are based on age, years of service, salary and on a participants old age account. The plans are financed by contributions paid by the participants and by the Company.
In Italy, the post-employment benefit plan is required due to statutory provisions. The plan is financed directly by the Company on a pay as you go basis. Employees receive their pension payments as a function of salary, inflation and a notional account.
In Israel, there is a defined benefit pension plan that provides benefits in the event of a participant being dismissed involuntarily, retirement or death. The plan's benefits are based on the higher of the severance benefit required by law or the cash surrender value of the severance benefit component of any qualifying insurance policy or long-term employee benefit fund that is registered in the participants' name. The plan is financed by contributions paid by the Company.
In India, the post-employment benefit plan is required due to statutory provisions. The plan is financed directly by the Company on a pay as you go basis.

The Company's net pension liability totaled $10.7 million and $10.6 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The components of net periodic pension cost, other than the service cost component, are included in other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss. Service cost is included in cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss. The Company made contributions to the defined benefit pension plans totaling $1.0 million and $0.5 million during the three months ending March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Contributions to the defined benefit pension plans for the remainder of 2023 will be limited to benefit payments to retirees which are paid out of the operating cash flows of the Company and are expected to be approximately $3.3 million.
