Benefit Plans
We sponsor a number of defined benefit plans for our employees worldwide. We present our defined benefit plans in two groups due to their different geographies, characteristics and actuarial assumptions: (i) the defined benefit plan in the United States (the “U.S. Retirement Plan”); and (ii) the defined benefit plans in Germany, France and the United Kingdom in the aggregate (the “German, French and UK Plans”).
