Gains and losses on these contracts generally offset gains and losses on the
assets and liabilities being hedged.
Included in the mark-to-market gain was a
$6.4 million gain related to lump sum payments that were offered to certain eligible participants of our US Qualified
Pension Plan in the second quarter of 2020 which resulted in a settlement of $1.1 million, and a curtailment gain of
$5.3 million related to certain acquired pension plans during the fourth quarter of 2020.
Partially offsetting the mark-
to-market gain was the decrease in our year end discount rate from 3.19% to 2.47%.
53 AVIENT CORPORATION
In 2019, we recognized a $9.6 million mark-to-market gain that was primarily a result of actual asset returns that
were higher than our assumed returns and mortality assumptions.
