(1)    On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was signed into law. The CARES Act includes several provisions that temporarily modify the corporate net operating loss (“NOL”) carryback rules for federal income tax purposes. Specifically, the CARES Act allows a five-year carryback of any NOL generated in a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021. The Company recorded a $6 million federal income tax benefit in 2020, and an additional $500 thousand benefit in 2021 resulting from the carryback of its 2020 NOL to recover federal income taxes paid in 2015 through 2018 (at a 35% federal income tax rate for years 2015 through 2017).
