Settlements reflected the recognition of losses that were previously deferred within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to plan participants who have received lump sum distributions during the plan year. Recognition of settlements is triggered when the amount paid for lump sum distributions from a plan exceeds the sum of service and interest cost for the plan year. For the U.S. pension plan, losses reclassified to settlements were zero and $9.1 million for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
