The Walt Disney Co., Burbank, Calif., plans to make a minimum $17 million contribution to its pension and postretirement medical plans during fiscal 2007, according to an SEC filing. The company may make additional contributions to its pension plans during the period "depending on how the funded status of those plans change and as we gain more clarity with respect to the Pension Protection Act of 2006," the filing stated. Disney is not required to make any contributions to its $4.1 billion pension plans in fiscal 2007.
