During the three months ended January 31, 2025, we transferred all the assets and obligations of our Netherlands defined benefit plan to an unaffiliated insurance company under a buy-out contract. The settlement resulted in a net loss of $14 million, which is included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The settlement loss includes the recognition of previously unrecognized actuarial losses that were included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Employer contributions and expected future employer contributions for the remainder of the year were as follows:
