(1)
Settlement charge relates to the U.S. nonqualified defined benefit pension plan.

In the three months ended March 31, 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 did not make any voluntary cash contributions to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan in the three months ended March 31, 2018. We expect to make approximately $30 million in voluntary cash contributions to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan during 2018.
