In the six months ended June 30, 2017 we recognized a curtailment loss of $3.9 million associated with the expected disposal of our FMC Health and Nutrition business, which was recorded within "Discontinued operations, net of income taxes" within the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

We made voluntary cash contributions to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 of $24.0 million and $21.0 million, respectively. We expect to make approximately $40 million in voluntary cash contributions to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan during 2017.
