The defined benefit plan pension expense shown in the above table is included as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During 2014, we transferred $56 million of supplemental pension plan benefits, as allowed under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, out
of our supplemental pension plans and into our Primary Pension Plan. The transfer did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements; however, it did result in a gain of $51 million for our supplemental pension plans and loss of $51 million for our Primary Pension Plan.
