For 2026, no pension contributions are required for our tax-qualified U.S. domestic pension plan (“U.S. Pension Plan”) as it is fully funded under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. We made voluntary contributions of $200 million to our U.S. Pension Plan during the six-month period ended November 30, 2025. We anticipate making $75 million of additional voluntary contributions for the remainder of fiscal 2026.
