Retirement Benefit Plans

The Company has a number of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans covering eligible salaried and hourly employees and their dependents. The estimated contributions to the Company's defined benefit pension plans for 2014 range from $15.0 million to $25.0 million, of which $14.5 million has been contributed through the first nine months of the year. The other postretirement benefit plans, which provide medical and life insurance benefits, are unfunded plans.

In July 2014, the Company discharged certain U.S. pension plan obligations by making lump-sum payments to former employees of the Company. As a result of this action, the Company recorded a settlement loss of $2.7 million in the U.S. pension plan during the third quarter of 2014.
