Contributions
The Company expects to contribute approximately $130 to $140 to its defined benefit pension plans and
postretirement benefit plans in fiscal 2015. The Company’s funding policy for the defined benefit pension plans
is to contribute the minimum contribution required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended, the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and other applicable laws, as determined by the Company’s
external actuarial consultant and its agreement with the PBGC described in Note 12—Commitments,
Contingencies and Off—Balance Sheet Arrangements with consideration given to contributing larger amounts.
The Company will recognize contributions in accordance with applicable regulations, with consideration given to
recognition for the earliest plan year permitted.
At the Company’s discretion, additional funds may be contributed to the pension plan. The Company may
accelerate contributions or undertake contributions in excess of the minimum requirements from time to time
