PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company has 51 pension and other post retirement plans in multiple countries, including 37 defined benefit and other post retirement benefit plans which were assumed as part of the Micro Focus Acquisition (see Note 19 “Acquisitions and Divestitures” for more details). All of our pension and other post retirement plans are located outside of Canada and the United States. The plans are primarily located in Germany, which, as of June 30, 2024, make up approximately 58% of the total net benefit pension obligations.
Our defined benefit pension plans include a mix of final salary type plans which provide for retirement, old age, disability and survivor’s benefits. Final salary type pension plans provide benefits to members either in the form of a lump sum payment or a guaranteed level of pension payable for life in the case of retirement, disability and death. Benefits under our final salary type plans are generally based on the participant’s age, compensation and years of service as well as the social security ceiling and other factors. Many of these plans are closed to new members. The net periodic costs of these plans are determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs.
Other post-retirement plans include statutory plans that offer termination, indemnity or other end of service benefits. Many of these plans were assumed through our acquisitions or are required by local regulatory and statutory requirements. All of our defined benefit and other post retirement plans are included in the aggregate projected benefit obligation within Pension liability, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company does not intend to make any cash contributions to any defined benefit pension or post-retirement plans unless required by the local regulatory or statutory requirements. For the year ended June 30, 2024, we made cash contributions of $4.2 million (year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022—$6.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively). For Fiscal 2025, we expect to make cash contributions of $7.6 million to our defined benefit plans.
As part of the Micro Focus Acquisition (see Note 19 “Acquisitions and Divestitures” for more details), we assumed a total of 37 defined benefit plans, all located outside of Canada and the United States. As of June 30, 2024, these assumed plans carried a net liability of $48.9 million and are funded at 77% of the defined benefit obligations. Plan assets that partially fund these assumed defined benefit obligations are primarily classified within Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and consist primarily of investments in equity and debt funds. Plan assets exclude insurance contracts with guaranteed interest rates classified as Level 3 available-for-sale financial assets of $24.9 million that do not meet the definition of a qualifying insurance policy, as they have not been pledged to the defined benefit and other post retirement plans (see Note 16 “Fair Value Measurement” for more details). As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of these acquired plan assets was $167.0 million.

The Company’s investment objective with respect to its defined benefit plan assets is to achieve an optimal rate of return over the long term while managing an appropriate level of risk to meet adequate future benefit obligations. Plan assets are managed by investment fiduciaries that determine the appropriate asset allocation, risk tolerance, fund diversification and investment strategies to achieve the long term investment objectives of the plan assets.
In determining the fair value of the defined benefit obligations as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, we used the following weighted-average key assumptions:

Defined Contribution Plans
The Company has various defined contribution retirement plans around the world covering many of its employees. Under these plans, employees can contribute a portion of their salary to the plan and the Company makes minimum non-elective contributions, discretionary contributions, and matching contributions, depending on the terms of the specific plan. The majority of the plans are primarily located in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany. For the year ended June 30, 2024, we made contributions of $54.7 million relating to the defined contribution retirement plans (year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022—$40.0 million and $24.0 million, respectively).
