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 September 30:

	U.S. Pension Benefits						Non-U.S. Pension Benefits						Other Postretirement Benefits
	2016			2015			2016			2015			2016			2015

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 nine months ended September 30, 2016, we contributed approximately $77 million to our defined benefit and other postretirement plans. We expect to contribute between $4 million and $5 million to our funded and unfunded pension plans and to make payments of between $3 million and $4 million related to other postretirement benefits in the fourth quarter of 2016.

We contributed approximately $76 million to our defined contribution plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Effective April 2016, employer contributions to certain plans were suspended indefinitely. We estimate we will contribute between $11 million and $12 million to other defined contribution plans in the fourth quarter of 2016.
