Item 8.01.  Other Events.  

 

On September 7, 2022, International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM” or the “Company”) and State Street Global Advisors Trust Company, as independent fiduciary of the IBM Personal Pension Plan (the “Plan”), entered into two separate commitment agreements, one with The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”) and one with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (collectively, the “Insurers”) under which the Plan agreed to purchase nonparticipating single premium group annuity contracts that will transfer to the Insurers approximately $16 billion of the Plan’s defined benefit pension obligations related to certain pension benefits that began to be paid prior to 2016.

 

The purchase of the group annuity contracts closed on September 13, 2022. The contracts cover approximately 100,000 IBM participants and beneficiaries (the “Transferred Participants”). Under the group annuity contracts, each Insurer has made an irrevocable commitment, and will be solely responsible, to pay 50% of the pension benefits of each Transferred Participant that are due on and after January 1, 2023. Prudential will be the lead administrator. The transaction will result in no changes to the amount of benefits payable to the Transferred Participants.

 

The purchase of the group annuity contracts was funded directly by assets of the Plan and required no cash or asset contributions of the Company. As a result of the transaction, the Company expects to recognize a one-time non-cash pre-tax pension settlement charge of approximately $5.9 billion ($4.4 billion net of tax) in the third quarter of 2022. The actual charge will depend on finalization of the actuarial and other assumptions. The pre-tax charge was not included in the GAAP forward-looking information released on July 18, 2022. This charge will not impact the Company’s third quarter or full year 2022 operating (non-GAAP) profit or free cash flow.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements contained in this Form 8-K may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“Reform Act”). Forward-looking statements are based on the company’s current assumptions regarding future business and financial performance. These statements by their nature address matters that are uncertain to different degrees. The company may also make forward-looking statements in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in materials delivered to stockholders and in press releases. In addition, the company’s representatives may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” and similar expressions, may identify such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement in this Form 8-K speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, the company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
