18. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all officers and employees of the Company, which permits participants to defer up to the maximum allowable amount determined by the IRS of their eligible compensation.

As part of the Pension Plan termination in 2014, the Company directed the Pension Plan to transfer $7.9 million of the Pension Plan’s surplus assets into a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) plan. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements until they are allocated to participants. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the fair value of these assets was recorded in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and were $2.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

The Company expenses the fair value of the assets at the time the assets are allocated to participants, which is expected to be allocated up to the next two years. During both 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded an expense of $1.1 million and during 2017 the Company recorded an expense of $1.2 million, for the fair value of the assets, less expenses, that were allocated to participants. Any gain or loss on these assets is reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and was less than a $0.1 million loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and less than a $0.1 million gain for the year ended December 31, 2017.
