During fiscal 2021, the Company settled the liabilities for one of its U.S. pension plans through a combination of (i) lump sum payments to eligible participants who elected to receive them and (ii) the purchase of annuity contracts for participants who did not elect lump sums. The lump sum payments were paid during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and resulted in a settlement charge of $2,722,000 which was recorded in Other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The total settlement charge of $19,038,000 was recorded in Other (income) expense, net on the Statements of Operations during the twelve months ending March 31, 2021. The remaining surplus of the terminated plan was $3,910,000 as of March 31, 2021 and will be used, as prescribed in the applicable regulations, to fund obligations associated with the Company's U.S. defined contribution plans.
