Effective January 1, 2013, we amended a defined benefit plan in the Netherlands. The defined benefit plan was frozen, and the participants were transitioned to a defined contribution plan. In April 2013, following the approval by the local Workers’ Council, we recognized a curtailment gain of €1.8 ($2.3) related to this amendment.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, contributions made to our pension plans were $6.3 and $14.2, respectively, and contributions made to our retiree health care plan were $0.6 and $1.6, respectively. During 2013, we expect to make total contributions of approximately $18.0 to our pension plans and to fund our retiree health care payments as incurred.
