## Cash Flows 

In August 2014, the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 was enacted. The legislation extended interest rate stabilization for single-employer defined benefit pension plan funding for an additional five years. In 2014, we made contributions of $15.0 million. We expect contributions to total approximately $9.0 million to satisfy minimum funding requirements in 2015. 

In January 2013, we made a contribution of approximately $57 million to the New York Times Newspaper Guild pension plan, of which $20 million was estimated to be necessary to satisfy minimum funding requirements in 2013. Mandatory contributions to other qualified pension plans increased our total contributions to approximately $74 million for the full year of 2013. 

The following benefit payments, which reflect future service for plans that have not been frozen, are expected to be paid:
