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

In the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 of $30.0 million and $44.0 million, respectively. We do not expect to make any further contributions to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan during 2018.
