Consistent with its long term plans, the Company intends to terminate its defined benefit pension plans during the fourth quarter of 2019.  On October 31, 2019, lump-sum settlement payments of $3,245 and $12,476 were made from the Douglas Dynamics, L.L.C Pension Plan for Hourly Employees and the Douglas Dynamics, L.L.C Salaried Pension Plan, respectively, in conjunction with the termination of these plans. In satisfaction of its obligations, the Company intends to purchase annuities for plan participants during the fourth quarter of 2019. Upon settlement of the

pension liability in the fourth quarter, the Company will reclassify the related pension losses currently recorded to AOCL to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had unrecognized losses related to the pension plans of $6,541, net of tax. The Company will recognize this loss upon termination of the pension plans, adjusted for the total required payout to plan participants which will be determined based on employee elections and market conditions present at the time of termination.
