During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company announced an amendment to the Postretirement Health Care Benefits Plan. Starting January 1, 2013, benefits under the plan to participants over age 65 are paid to a retiree health reimbursement account instead of directly providing health insurance coverage to the participants. Covered retirees will be able to use the annual subsidy they receive through this account toward the purchase of their own health care coverage from private insurance companies and for reimbursement of eligible health care expenses. This change resulted in a remeasurement of the plan during 2012 which reduced the liability through an increase in deferred prior service cost. The majority of the deferred prior service cost will be recognized over approximately three years, which is the period in which the remaining employees eligible for the plan will qualify for benefits under the plan.
The Company made no contributions to its postretirement health care fund during the three months ended March 30, 2013.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company and certain subsidiaries have various defined contribution plans, in which all eligible employees participate. In the U.S., the 401(k) plan is a contributory plan. Matching contributions are based upon the amount of the employees' contributions. For the three months ended March 30, 2013, the Company did not make any discretionary matching contributions.
