​Unisys Transfers its Swiss Pension Plan to a Multi-Employer Collective Foundation, Removing Additional Pension Obligations from its Balance Sheet

Company achieves goal of $1.2B in pension liability reduction

BLUE BELL, Pa., June 8, 2021Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced its Swiss subsidiary has transferred its pension plan to a multi-employer collective foundation. This agreement results in the removal of projected benefit obligations related to the retirees under the plan, valued at approximately $103 million, from the company's balance sheet.

This action, combined with the company's previously-announced lump-sum cash-out offer and separate annuity purchase for its U.S. pension plans, and transfer of its Dutch pension plan to a multi-employer fund, accomplishes the company's goal of removing a total of approximately $1.2 billion of pension obligations from its balance sheet by the end of the second quarter of 2021. 

Unisys anticipates a one-time, non-cash, pre-tax settlement charge of approximately $29 million as a result of this agreement. The remainder of the Swiss plan obligations, representing active participants valued at approximately $56 million, will remain on the company's balance sheet.

“We are excited about this latest step in enhancing our balance sheet and successfully completing our plan to reduce global pension liabilities by $1.2 billion," said Unisys Chief Financial Officer Mike Thomson. “While the transfer of our pension plan in Switzerland marks the achievement of this specific goal, we will continue to consider and pursue additional steps in the future to further de-risk our pension obligations through additional reductions of potential volatility and costs."
