Employee Benefits Plans
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
We have both funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plans ("Pension Benefits") covering certain employees primarily in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada. We also provide certain postretirement health care benefits ("Other Postretirement Benefits"), through an unfunded plan, to a closed group of U.S. employees who, when they retire, have met certain age and service requirements.
The components of net periodic cost (benefit) are as follows for the three months ended March 31:
 
U.S. Pension Benefits
 
Non-U.S. Pension Benefits

Expected Cash Flows
For all pension plans, we make annual contributions to the plans in amounts equal to or greater than amounts necessary to meet minimum governmental funding requirements. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we contributed approximately $7 million to our defined benefit and other postretirement plans. We have revised our expected contributions and accordingly, we expect to contribute between $51 million and $55 million to our funded and unfunded pension plans and to make payments of between $11 million and $15 million related to other postretirement benefits for the remainder of 2016.
We contributed approximately $49 million to our defined contribution plans during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Effective April 2016, employer contributions to certain plans were suspended indefinitely. Accordingly, we have revised our expected contributions and now estimate we will contribute between $38 million and $40 million to our defined contribution plans for the remainder of 2016.
