THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
113
Defined Benefit Plan
The Company has one frozen defined benefit pension plan (“Plan”) for which it has recorded unfunded pension obligations
of $102.1 million and $112.7 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, included in “Other liabilities” in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company made contributions of approximately $25 million to the Plan in both years ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011, including discretionary contributions of $5 million and $3 million for the years ended December 31,
2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company will be required to fund approximately $23 million to the Plan in 2013.
The Company recognizes the funded status of the Plan in its Consolidated Balance Sheets with a corresponding adjustment
to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” net of tax.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the changes in the Plan's projected benefit obligation, fair value of assets and
the funded status (in millions):

Differences in expected returns on plan assets estimated at the beginning of the year versus actual returns, and assumptions
used to estimate the beginning of year projected benefit obligation versus the end of year obligation (principally discount rate and
mortality assumptions) are, on a combined basis, considered actuarial gains and losses. Such actuarial gains and losses are recognized
as a component of “Comprehensive income” and amortized to income over the average remaining life expectancy of the plan
participants. Included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” as of December 31, 2012 is $12.4 million ($7.8 million, net of
tax) of actuarial losses that are expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during the year ended December 31, 2013.
