Nonpension Postretirement Benefit Plans
The company contributed $80 million and $693 million to the non-
pension postretirement benefit plans during the years ended
December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These contribution
amounts exclude the Medicare-related subsidy discussed on page
141. The 2012 amount includes a $400 million voluntary cash contribu-
tion to the U.S. nonpension postretirement benefit plan. This advanced
funding was to be utilized to fund post-2012 benefit payments for
Medicare-eligible prescription drugs. In 2013, the prefunding was used
for this purpose. However, effective January 1, 2014, IBM will not be
eligible for the Medicare subsidy. The remainder of the prefunding is
being utilized to fund other eligible benefits under the plan.
