The Company contributes to voluntary employee benefit association (VEBA) trusts to fund certain U.S. retiree health and welfare benefit obligations. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company amended the plan to create a sub-trust to permit the payment of certain benefits for active union employees using a surplus totaling $175 million from the retiree plan, which represents a portion of the plan's total surplus. This amount was converted to cash and treated as a one-time transfer to a sub-trust that was then invested in marketable securities and will be used to pay for these active union employee benefits. As a result of its designation for this purpose, the transferred amount is no longer considered an asset of the retiree plan and the Company's investment in marketable securities is included in Other current assets and Other assets dependent on the expected holding period on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2024. The one-time transfer of cash from the VEBA trust to the sub-trust was treated as a distribution from the plan in operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the investment in marketable securities to fund the active union employee benefits was treated as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. For the year-to-date period ended September 28, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $13 million related to the remeasurement of other postretirement benefit plans. These remeasurements were the result of the transfer of assets noted above. The remeasurements recognized were due primarily to the increase in discount rates versus the prior year-end and higher than expected return on plan assets. For the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a gain of $25 million related to the remeasurement of other postretirement benefit plans. These remeasurements were the result of separating the other postretirement benefit plans impacted by the separation transaction. The remeasurements recognized were due primarily to a higher than expected return on plan assets. Postemployment benefit plan expense for the quarters and year-to-date periods ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were not material. Exclusive of the negative contribution discussed above, Company contributions to employee benefit plans are summarized as follows:
