During fiscal year 2024, the Company began the process to terminate one of its U.S. pension plans. Lump sum payments were made to eligible participants who elected to receive them in the third and fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 resulting in settlement charges which were disclosed in the 2024 10-K. On September 30, 2024, the Company purchased annuity contracts to settle the remaining liabilities of the terminated plan. The annuity contract purchase resulted in a non cash settlement charge of $23,634,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and $433,000 of non cash settlement charges in the three months ended December 31, 2024, which was recorded in Other (income) expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining surplus of the terminated plan of $6,733,000 will be used to fund certain obligations associated with the Company's U.S. defined contribution plans.

The Company currently plans to contribute approximately $5,183,000 to its pension plans in fiscal 2025.
