Tower Life will begin paying and administering the retirement
benefits included in the transfer on Oct. 1.
3M added it expects to recognize an estimated pension settlement
charge of between $800 million and $900 million in the quarter
ending June 30.
The contract, which represents about 60% of Early Retirement
Incentive Plan (ERIP) retirees, required no additional funding,
the company said.
