Pension Benefits

We sponsor qualified and supplemental (non-qualified) noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain full-time salaried and hourly U.S. employees.  The most significant of these plans, the YUM Retirement Plan is funded. We fund our other U.S. plans as benefits are paid.  The YUM Retirement Plan and our most significant non-qualified plan in the U.S. are closed to new salaried participants.  
  
The components of net periodic benefit cost associated with our significant U.S. pension plans are as follows:

(a)
Losses are a result of settlement transactions from a non-funded plan which exceeded the sum of annual service and interest costs for that plan. These losses were recorded in G&A expenses.

We contributed $75 million to the YUM Retirement Plan during the year to date ended June 13, 2015. We do not anticipate any additional significant contributions during 2015.
