As of January 1, 2019, the balance related to the cumulative unrealized gain on marketable securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income was reclassed upon adoption of ASU 2016-1, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2019-02, which provides an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (AOCI) to retained earnings due to the change in the U.S. federal tax rate as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which took effect in January 2018. Accordingly, the Company elected to reclassify approximately $2.7 million of stranded tax effects related to its pension plan from AOCI to retained earnings.
