RETIREMENT PLANS:
 
Defined Contribution Plan
 
The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan that covers substantially all of its employees and provides for a Company match of up to
50%
of the
first
6%
of employee contributions to the plan, subject to certain limitations. The defined contribution retirement plan offers
23
investment options.
 
Defined Benefit Plans
 
The Company has
two
noncontributory defined benefit plans. Effective
2001,
both plans were frozen and participants were fully vested in their accrued benefits as of the date each plan was frozen.
No
additional participants can be added to the plans and
no
additional service can be earned by participants subsequent to the date the plans were frozen. The funding policy for both of these plans is based on current plan costs plus amortization of the unfunded plan liability. All current employees covered by these plans are now covered by the defined contribution retirement plan.
 
As of
December 
31,
2018
and
2017,
the Company had recorded, in accordance with the actuarial valuations, an accrued pension liability of
$1.7
 million in Other long-term liabilities and an unrecognized actuarial loss, net of tax, of
$1.6
 million and
$1.4
 million, respectively, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Additionally, as of
December 
31,
2018
and
2017,
the projected and accumulated benefit obligation was

$4.4
 million and
$4.9
 million, respectively.

December 
31,
2018,
2017,
and

was approximately
$0,

and
$0.4
 million, respectively. The weighted-average discount rates used to measure the projected benefit obligation were
3.98%
and
3.36%
as of
December 
31,
2018
and
2017,
respectively.
 
The plan assets are invested in pooled separate accounts stated at fair value based on the daily net asset value of the account and are therefore
not
categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The expected weighted-average long-term rate of return on plan assets was

as of

of officer contributions to the plan and the
first
$5,000
of other selected highly compensated employee contributions, subject to certain limitations. As of
