During the three months ended June 30, 2017, one of the Company’s defined benefit plans was terminated. As a result, the pension benefit obligation was settled by making lump-sum cash payments to certain participants and also purchasing nonparticipating annuity contracts to cover the remaining vested benefits. As a result of this plan’s termination, the Company recognized $3.8 million of settlement expense during the three months ended June 30, 2017, which have been recorded in the Company’s restructuring and other costs. The plan was associated with two facilities which were closed under the Company’s 2014 Restructuring Plan.
