DETROIT (AP) — Ford Motor Co. says it will pump $3.8 billion into its global pension plans this year as it tries to get them closer to fully funding their obligations.
The company also says that it has raised the annual pay for its 16 directors by 25 percent to $250,000.
The disclosures came in Ford's annual report filed Tuesday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Ford says it will put $2 billion into the U.S. pension plan, make $350,000 in benefit payments and put the remaining $1.45 billion into other plans across the globe.
The report says that as of Dec. 31, the U.S. plan was $9.4 billion short of its obligations, while global plans, which include the U.S., were short by $15.4 billion.
