Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits | Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits We provide various pension and other post-retirement benefit plans for current and former employees, including defined benefit, defined contribution, and retiree healthcare benefit plans. Refer to Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies for a detailed discussion of our accounting policies related to our pension and other post-retirement benefit plans. U.S. Benefit Plans The principal retirement plans in the U.S. include a qualified defined benefit pension plan and a defined contribution plan. In addition, we provide post-retirement medical coverage and non-qualified benefits to certain employees. Defined Benefit Pension Plans The benefits under the qualified defined benefit pension plan are determined using a formula based upon years of service and the highest five TI closed the qualified defined benefit pension plan to participants hired after November 1997. In addition, participants eligible to retire under the TI plan as of April 26, 2006 were given the option of continuing to participate in the qualified defined benefit pension plan or retiring under the qualified defined benefit pension plan and thereafter participating in an enhanced defined contribution plan. We intend to contribute amounts to the qualified defined benefit pension plan in order to meet the minimum funding requirements of federal laws and regulations, plus such additional amounts as we deem appropriate. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we contributed $3.0 million to the qualified defined benefit pension plan. We do not expect to contribute to the qualified defined benefit pension plan in fiscal year 2022. We also sponsor a non-qualified defined benefit pension plan, which is closed to new participants and is unfunded. Effective January 31, 2012, we froze the defined benefit pension plans and eliminated future benefit accruals. Defined Contribution Plan We have one defined contribution plan for U.S. employees, which provides for an employer matching contribution of up to 4% of the employee's annual eligible earnings. The aggregate expense related to the defined contribution plan was $5.3 million, $4.3 million, and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Retiree Healthcare Benefit Plan We offer access to group medical coverage during retirement to some of our U.S. employees. We make contributions toward the cost of those retiree medical benefits for certain retirees. The contribution rates are based upon varying factors, the most important of which are an employee’s date of hire, date of retirement, years of service, and eligibility for Medicare benefits. The balance of the cost is borne by the participants in the plan. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we did not and do not expect to, receive any amount of Medicare Part D Federal subsidy. Our projected benefit obligation as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 did not include an assumption for a Federal subsidy. Non-U.S. Benefit Plans Retirement coverage for non-U.S. employees is provided through separate defined benefit and defined contribution plans. Retirement benefits are generally based on an employee’s years of service and compensation. Funding requirements are determined on an individual country and plan basis and are subject to local country practices and market circumstances. We do not expect to contribute to the non-U.S. defined benefit plans during 2022.

Information about the assets for each of these plans is detailed below. Refer to Note 18: Fair Value Measures for additional information related to the level s of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820. U.S. Plan Assets Our target asset allocation for the U.S. defined benefit plan is 83% fixed income and 17% equity securities. To arrive at the targeted asset allocation, we and our investment adviser reviewed market opportunities using historical data, as well as the actuarial valuation for the plan, to ensure that the levels of acceptable return and risk are well-defined and monitored. The following table presents information about the plan’s target and actual asset allocation, as of December 31, 2021: Target Allocation Actual Allocation as of December 31, 2021 U.S. large cap equity 7% 11% U.S. small / mid cap equity 2% 3% Globally managed volatility fund 3% 3% International (non-U.S.) equity 4% 5% Fixed income (U.S. investment grade) 68% 71% High-yield fixed income 2% 2% International (non-U.S.) fixed income 1% 1% Money market funds 13% 4% The portfolio is monitored for automatic rebalancing on a monthly basis.

Investments in mutual funds are based on the publicly-quoted final net asset values on the last business day of the year. Permitted asset classes include U.S. and non-U.S. equity, U.S. and non-U.S. fixed income, cash, and cash equivalents. Fixed income includes both investment grade and non-investment grade. Permitted investment vehicles include mutual funds, individual securities, derivatives, and long-duration fixed income securities. While investments in individual securities, derivatives, long-duration fixed income securities, cash, and cash equivalents are permitted, the plan did not hold these types of investments as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Prohibited investments include direct investments in real estate, commodities, unregistered securities, uncovered options, currency exchange contracts, and natural resources (such as timber, oil, and gas). Japan Plan Assets The target asset allocation of the Japan defined benefit plan is 50% fixed income securities, cash, and cash equivalents and 50% equity securities, with allowance for a 40% deviation in either direction. We, along with the trustee of the plan's assets, minimize investment risk by thoroughly assessing potential investments based on indicators of historical returns and current credit ratings. Additionally, investments are diversified by type and geography. The following table presents information about the plan’s target asset allocation, as well as the actual allocation, as of December 31, 2021: Target Allocation Actual Allocation as of December 31, 2021 Fixed income securities, cash, and cash equivalents 10%-90% 64% Equity securities 10%-90% 36% The following table presents information about the plan assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2021 and 2020: As of December 31, 2021 2020 U.S. equity $ 3,477 $ 2,736 International (non-U.S.) equity 8,220 6,724 Total equity securities 11,697 9,460 U.S. fixed income 2,616 3,091 International (non-U.S.) fixed income 8,803 11,142 Total fixed income securities 11,419 14,233 Cash and cash equivalents 9,782 9,793 Total plan assets $ 32,898 $ 33,486 As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 , all fair value measures presented above are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of U.S. fixed income securities of $0.3 million as of December 31, 2020 , which are categorized as Level 2. The fair values of equity and fixed income securities are based on publicly-quoted closing stock and bond values on the last business day of the year. Permitted asset classes include equity securities that are traded on the official stock exchange(s) of the respective countries, fixed income securities with certain credit ratings, cash, and cash equivalents. The Netherlands Plan Assets The assets of the Netherlands defined benefit plan are insurance policies. The contributions we make to the plan are used to purchase insurance policies that provide for specific benefit payments to plan participants. The benefit formula is determined independently by us. Upon retirement of an individual plan participant, the insurance contracts purchased are converted to provide specific benefits for the participant. The contributions paid by us are commingled with contributions paid to the insurance provider by other employers for investment purposes and to reduce plan administration costs. However, this defined benefit plan is not considered a multi-employer plan. The following table presents information about the plan assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2021 and 2020: As of December 31, 2021 2020 Insurance policies $ 11,208 $ 12,905 All fair value measures presented above are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents a rollforward of these assets for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020: Insurance Policies Balance as of December 31, 2019 $ 10,472 Actual return on plan assets still held at reporting date 1,373 Purchases, sales, settlements, and exchange rate changes 1,060 Balance as of December 31, 2020 12,905 Actual return on plan assets still held at reporting date (618) Purchases, sales, settlements, and exchange rate changes (1,079) Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 11,208 The fair values of the insurance contracts are measured based on the future benefit payments that would be made by the insurance company to vested plan participants if we were to switch to another insurance company without actually surrendering our policy. In this case, the insurance company would guarantee to pay the vested benefits at retirement accrued under the plan based on current salaries and service to date (i.e., with no allowance for future salary increases or pension increases). The cash flows of the future benefit payments are discounted using the same discount rate that is applied to value the related defined benefit plan liability. Belgium Plan Assets |
