Employee Benefit Plans
Pension and Postretirement Plans. We sponsor both funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined pension and other postretirement benefit plans, and defined contribution plans. As part of our acquisition of Goodrich on July 26, 2012, we assumed approximately $1.5 billion of pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations. Contributions to our plans were as follows:
