In the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company contributed $3.9 million and $5.6 million to its U.S. defined benefit plan, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.0 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit plan, respectively. During the remainder of 2017, the Company expects to make additional contributions of up to $1.1 million to the U.S. benefit plan and up to $0.2 million to the non-U.S. benefit plan. In September 2017, the Company executed an amendment to the Federal Signal Corporation Retirement Plan (“the Plan”), which enabled the Company to announce a limited-time voluntary lump-sum pension offering to eligible, terminated, vested plan participants. The lump-sum settlement payments will be made during the fourth quarter of 2017, using assets from the Plan. In connection with the lump-sum offering, the Company expects to incur a pre-tax, non-cash settlement charge of up to $7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, when the lump sum settlements are expected to be paid. The Company also anticipates that the lump-sum offering will result in a decrease in the Company’s Long-term pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
