We made a lump-sum settlement payment of $4 million for the three months ended December 30, 2017 to a certain deferred vested participant within one of our non-qualified pension plans.
We contributed $5 million and $9 million to our pension plans for the three months ended December 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. We expect to contribute an additional $37 million during the remainder of fiscal 2018. The amount of contributions made to pension plans in any year is dependent upon a number of factors, including minimum funding requirements in the jurisdictions in which we operate. As a result, the actual funding in fiscal 2018 may differ from the current estimate.
