In the first quarter of 2014, we communicated our decision to amend certain postretirement benefits to reduce health benefits for certain current and retired employees. The impact of these changes was a reduction in accrued retiree benefit plan liabilities of $14.7 million and we recorded actuarial losses of $0.6 million and prior service credits of $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2014. Liability reductions from these plan amendments are recorded as amortization of prior service cost in net income in accordance with accounting requirements. See Note 10, “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss,” for information on the impact on accumulated other comprehensive loss.
