The company is executing a 'buy-out' of its U.K. defined benefit pension plan, effectively transferring a major long-term liability off its balance sheet. This complex financial transaction will result in a noncash charge of over $454 million and requires significant financial, legal, and administrative coordination.
Filing excerpt
The company anticipates a “buy-out” for its U.K. defined benefit pension plan will occur in third quarter of 2026, which will trigger a pension settlement that will result in all plan balances, including accumulated pension components within other comprehensive income, being charged to expense as a noncash settlement charge.
