Employee Benefit Plan
Employee Benefit Plan
The Company sponsors a cash balance defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all of its salaried employees (the “Pension Plan”). In November 2012, the Board of Directors approved the termination of the Company’s Pension Plan. In March 2013, the Pension Plan was frozen until the final regulatory approvals are received and the Pension Plan’s assets will be distributed, used to pay excise taxes and the remaining assets will revert back to the Company. Upon settlement, the Company expects to recognize further estimated losses that will significantly affect the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations once the final regulatory approvals are received and the Pension Plan assets are distributed, which we expect to occur in 2014 or 2015. However, we can not provide any assurance as to the timing of these matters.
A summary of the components of net periodic pension cost is as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, settlements of future obligations occurred that required the Pension Plan assets and projected benefit obligation to be remeasured. The Company recorded a net gain of $2.0 million from the remeasurement, which was was recorded in other comprehensive income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
