We amended and curtailed our retiree health care benefit plan in the second quarter of 2012. Due to the negative plan amendment, we recorded and will continue to record increased amortization of net gains until December 31, 2013.
Based on a detailed review of the provisions of our defined benefit plan in India, in the fourth quarter of 2012, we reclassified this plan from other postretirement benefit plans to pension benefit plans. We have reclassified the disclosures in the above table for the three months ended March 31, 2012, to conform to classifications used at March 31, 2013. The total net periodic expense reclassified from other postretirement benefit plans to pension benefit plans was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This reclassification had no impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We have a defined contribution retirement plan that covers substantially all domestic employees. The expense for this plan was $0.8 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All contributions were funded from the proceeds obtained from the reversion of our former salaried pension plan.
