$620 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For those plans reflected in the table above
in which the ABO exceeded plan assets at December 31, 2012, the ABO, PBO and aggregate plan

Amounts Recognized in AOCI and OCI
The pension and other post-employment plans’ gains or losses and prior service costs or credits not yet
recognized in net periodic benefit cost are recognized on a net-of-tax basis in AOCI and will be
amortized to net periodic benefit cost in the future. The following is a summary of the pretax losses
included in OCI for 2012 and 2011.

Actuarial loss $167
Prior service cost 9
