In the second quarter of 2016, the level of lump-sum payments under the non-qualified defined benefit pension plans resulted in the remeasurement of pension obligations under settlement accounting rules. The remeasurement resulted in a loss of $0.8 million included in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the second quarter of 2016. The loss includes the effect of a decrease in the discount rate used in the remeasurement of pension obligations from approximately 4.5% as of December 31, 2015, to approximately 3.7% as of June 30, 2016.
