The Company is required to contribute approximately $7.9 million in 2012 to its pension plan trust.

The Company also sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) plan. Participation in this plan is voluntary and is available to substantially all U.S. salaried employees and to certain groups of U.S. hourly employees. Contributions to this plan are based on either a percentage of employee contributions or on a specified percentage of employee pay based on the provisions of the applicable collective bargaining agreement. Company contributions are made with Company stock. Non-cash expense based on Company stock for this plan was $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended May 31, 2012 respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended May 31, 2011, respectively.
