(1) The Company merged two of its pension plans, which had no impact on our financial statements as we remeasure pension plan assets and projected benefit obligations immediately in earnings on a quarterly basis. However, the plan merger increased the impact of change by $12 million and $18 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, reflecting the shorter amortization period for losses deferred in AOCI from one of the merged plans that was required as part of the merger.
