Contributions We are contractually obligated to contribute to our pension and postretirement benefit plans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we contributed $7.8 million and $3.7 million to our pension and other postretirement plans, respectively. Beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and ending with the quarter ending September 30, 2024, the GR Plan's appointed actuary has and will certify the GR Plan's funded status for each quarter (the "Quarterly Certification") in accordance with U.S. GAAP. If the GR Plan is less than 100% funded, the Company will make a $1.0 million contribution to the GR Plan no later than 60 days following the receipt of the Quarterly Certification, provided, however, that the Company's obligation to make additional contractual contributions will terminate the earlier of (a) the day following the date that a contractual contribution would be due for the quarter ending September 30, 2024, and (b) the date the Company has made a total of $5.0 million of contractual contributions subsequent to June 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2024, the GR Plan was more than 100% funded.
