The Company recognized a $1.5 curtailment benefit during the first quarter of 2011 related to the resignation of a senior executive. The Company recognized a $2.3 curtailment loss during the first quarter of 2010 related to the termination of the employment of the former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and also a settlement loss due to this transition of $1.4 during the third quarter of 2010 upon payment of benefits under the unfunded executive pension plan.
The Company sponsors postretirement health and life insurance plans for certain eligible employees. The plan provides eligible employees and retirees with the opportunity to direct an amount of their compensation or pension benefits to cover medical, dental and life insurance programs of their choice for their benefit and the benefit of their dependents. The plan covers both active and retired eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Employees’ eligibility to participate in the plan is based upon their date of hire. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company amended certain components of the postretirement health and life insurance plans to reduce certain benefits. The plan amendments constitute negative amendments. As a result of the plan amendments, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation has decreased approximately $20 from December 31, 2010, the impact of which will be recognized as a reduction to net periodic benefit cost over the remaining future service years of the active participants over a weighted-average period of approximately 3 years.
