Non-service related pension and other postretirement benefits cost consists primarily of the interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization components of net periodic cost, as well as curtailments and settlements which are not related to rationalization plans. For further information, refer to Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 11, Pension, Savings and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans. We, along with other companies, have previously filed various claims with the Brazilian tax authorities challenging the legality of the government's calculation of certain indirect taxes dating back to 2001. During the second quarter of 2021, the Brazilian Supreme Court rendered a final ruling that was favorable to companies on the remaining open aspects of these claims. As a result of this ruling, we recorded a gain in CGS of $69 million and related interest income of $48 million in Other (Income) Expense. Financing fees and financial instruments expense consists of commitment fees and charges incurred in connection with financing transactions. Financing fees and financial instruments expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 include a $10 million charge for a commitment fee on a bridge term loan facility related to the Cooper Tire acquisition that was not utilized and was terminated upon the closing of the transaction. Net foreign currency exchange (gains) losses include $7 million of expense in the first quarter of 2021 related to the out of period adjustments discussed in Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 1, Accounting Policies. Transaction costs include legal, consulting and other expenses incurred by us in connection with the Cooper Tire acquisition. Other (Income) Expense also includes general and product liability expense - discontinued products, which consists of charges for claims against us related primarily to asbestos personal injury claims, net of probable insurance recoveries; royalty income which is derived primarily from licensing arrangements; net (gains) and losses on asset sales; and interest income.
