The components of net periodic benefit cost, other than the service cost component, are included in the line item "Other non-operating expense, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements.
The total net periodic benefit cost for other post-retirement employee benefit plans was less than $1 million, including net credits recognized into other comprehensive income of less than $1 million, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
We contributed $12 million and $16 million to our defined benefit plans during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Additional contributions ranging between approximately $7 million and $15 million are expected to be made during the remainder of 2021.
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company purchased a bulk annuity policy with an insurance company for its largest defined benefit plan in the U.K., as a plan asset, to facilitate the termination and buy-out of the plan. The bulk annuity fully insures the benefits payable to the participants of the plan until a full buy-out of the plan can be executed, which is expected to occur in 2022. Included in the Company's six months ended June 30, 2020 contributions is $5 million paid to meet the shortfall between the cost of the bulk annuity policy and the plan assets.
