Contingent Earn-Out Payment

The ThingWorx contingent earn-out first year payment criteria were attained in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. As such, $9 million of the total contingent consideration was paid on July 17, 2015.

Termination of U.S. Pension Plan

In August 2015, lump sum distributions totaling $45 million were made to selected participants from plan assets in settlement of their liabilities and we purchased annuity contracts with an insurer for approximately $90 million to cover remaining liabilities of the plan. In connection with settling the liabilities, we contributed $26 million to fully fund the Plan.
