_____________ (1)Fiscal year 2021 actuarial gains compared to 2020 actuarial losses in the Company's pension benefit plans resulted from changes in discount rate assumptions. (2)There were no settlement events in fiscal 2021. The increase in pension plan settlements in fiscal year 2020 was primarily due to a voluntary lump-sum, cash-out program offered to vested, terminated U.S. pension plan participants in the last half of the fiscal year 2020. The extent of the funding from the cash-out program exceeded the settlement accounting threshold, and as such in fiscal year 2020, these activities have been categorized as settlements. Pension plan assets were utilized to settle pension obligations for deferred participants that elected to participate in the program.
