*In 2016, the Company offered a voluntary lump-sum payment option below a pre-determined threshold for certain eligible former employees who are vested participants of the U.S. Qualified Defined Benefit Pension Plan.  The distribution of the lump-sums was substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2016. The amount distributed in 2016 was approximately $420 million. These distributions from the plan did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

(a) The activity for the Level 3 assets is not significant for all years presented.
(b) Per adoption of ASU 2015-07, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. As per ASU 2015-7 prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the total retirement plan assets.
