Postemployment Benefit Plans |
Postemployment Benefit Plans | Note 12—Postemployment Benefit Plans Defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement employee benefit plans Overview—Benefits under all of our U.S. defined benefit pension plans have ceased accruing. We maintain the respective pension obligations under such plans until they have been fully satisfied. As of December 31, 2016, we maintained three funded and three unfunded defined benefit plans in the U.S. (the “U.S. Plans”). During the year ended December 31, 2016, we permitted certain participants of one of our funded U.S. Plans to make a one‑time election to receive a payment of retirement benefits in the form of either (a) a lump sum distribution or (b) an annuity starting October 1, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, we maintained one defined benefit plan in the U.K. (the “U.K. Plan”), under which we and the plan trustees mutually agreed to cease accruing benefits, effective March 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, we also maintained two funded and two unfunded defined benefit plans, primarily group pension schemes with life insurance companies, which cover certain eligible Norway employees and former employees (the “Norway Plans”). During the year ended December 31, 2016, we satisfied our obligations under four funded defined benefit plans in Norway and the unfunded defined benefit plans in Nigeria. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we satisfied our obligations under the unfunded defined benefit plans in Egypt and Indonesia. We refer to the U.K. Plan, the Norway Plans and the plans in Nigeria, Egypt and Indonesia, collectively, as the “Non‑U.S. Plans.” We refer to the U.S. Plans and the Non‑U.S. Plans, collectively, as the “Transocean Plans”. Additionally, we maintain certain unfunded other postretirement employee benefit plans (collectively, the “OPEB Plans”), under which benefits to eligible participants diminish during a phase‑out period ending December 31, 2025. Assumptions—We estimated our benefit obligations using the following weighted‑average assumptions:

In September and December 2014, we recognized settlement and curtailment charges for two of our unfunded Non‑U.S. Plans in Nigeria and Egypt associated with certain employee terminations. In the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, for the OPEB Plans, the combined components of net periodic benefit costs, including service cost, interest cost, recognized net actuarial losses, prior service cost amortization, curtailments and special termination benefits, were income of $4 million, income of $1 million and costs of $2 million, respectively.

Plan assets—We periodically review our investment policies, plan assets and asset allocation strategies to evaluate performance relative to specified objectives. In determining our asset allocation strategies for the U.S. Plans, we review the results of regression models to assess the most appropriate target allocation for each plan, given the plan’s status, demographics and duration. For the U.K. Plan, the plan trustees establish the asset allocation strategies consistent with the regulations of the U.K. pension regulators and in consultation with financial advisors and company representatives. Investment managers for the U.S. Plans and the U.K. Plan are given established ranges within which the investments may deviate from the target allocations. For the Norway Plans, we establish minimum rates of return under the terms of investment contracts with insurance companies. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the weighted‑average target and actual allocations of the investments for our funded Transocean Plans were as follows:

The U.S. Plans and the U.K. Plan invest primarily in passively managed funds that reference market indices. The funded Norway Plans are subject to contractual terms under selected insurance programs. Each plan’s investment managers have discretion to select the securities held within each asset category. Given this discretion, the managers may occasionally invest in our debt or equity securities, and may hold either long or short positions in such securities. As the plan investment managers are required to maintain well diversified portfolios, the actual investment in our securities would be immaterial relative to asset categories and the overall plan assets. Funding contributions—In the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we made an aggregate contribution of $49 million, $39 million and $101 million, respectively, to the Transocean Plans and the OPEB Plans using our cash flows from operations. In the year ending December 31, 2017, we expect to contribute $11 million to the Transocean Plans, and we expect to fund benefit payments of approximately $3 million for the OPEB Plans as costs are incurred. Benefit payments—The following were the projected benefits payments (in millions):

Defined contribution plans At December 31, 2016, we sponsored four defined contribution plans, including (1) a qualified savings plan covering certain employees working in the U.S. (the “U.S. Savings Plan”), (2) a non‑qualified supplemental plan covering certain eligible employees working in the U.S. (the “U.S. Savings Restoration Plan”), (3) a qualified savings plan covering certain eligible U.K. employees (the “U.K. Savings Plan”) and (4) a non‑qualified savings plan covering certain employees working outside the U.S. and U.K. (the “Non‑U.S. Savings Plan”). In the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recognized expense of $51 million, $89 million and $84 million, respectively, related to our defined contribution plans. The U.S. Savings Plan, effective January 1, 2015, provides eligible employees with matching contributions up to 10.0 percent of each participant’s base salary and annual bonus based on the participant’s contribution to the plan. In the year ended December 31, 2014, the U.S. Savings Plan provided eligible employees with matching contributions up to 6.0 percent of each participant’s base salary based on the participant’s contribution to the plan. The U.S. Savings Restoration Plan, effective January 1, 2015, provides eligible employees with benefits in excess of those allowed under the U.S. Savings Plan. The U.K. Savings Plan provides eligible employees with matching contributions between 4.5 percent and 9.5 percent based on the participant’s contribution to the plan. The Non‑U.S. Savings Plan, provides eligible employees with (a) matching contributions up to 6.0 percent of each participant’s base salary based on the participant’s contribution to the plan and (b) contributions between 4.5 percent and 6.5 percent of each participant’s base salary and annual bonus based on the participant’s years of eligible service. In the year ended December 31, 2016, we amended the Non‑U.S. Savings Plan, effective January 1, 2017, to provide eligible employees with matching contributions up to 12 percent of each participant’s base salary and annual bonus based on the participant’s contribution and eliminate the portion of the contribution that was based on years of service.
