___________________
(d)
The reclassifications out of AOCI were associated with a loss on a treasury rate lock agreement from July 2010 related to the issuance of the Company’s $250 million of 3.25% senior notes maturing on October 1, 2015 (the “2015 Notes”), which is being reclassified into earnings (interest expense) over the term of the 2015 Notes. The effects on the respective line items of the consolidated statements of earnings impacted by the reclassifications were not material for the six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
