Settlement charge is associated with the acceleration of previously deferred pension actuarial losses and was triggered by a lump-sum payout to certain former executives.

We made voluntary cash contributions to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan of $17.0 million and $13.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013. We expect to make approximately $50 million in voluntary cash contributions to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan during 2014.
