The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts of the Act. The Act includes a number of provisions, including the lowering of the U.S. corporate tax rate from <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">35</div> percent to <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">21</div> percent, effective <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> January 1, 2018. </div>The Act also includes provisions that <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> may </div>partially offset the benefit of such rate reduction, including the repeal of the deduction for domestic production activities. The effect of the international provisions of the Act, which generally establish a territorial-style system for taxing foreign-source income of domestic multinational corporations, is uncertain. As a result of the Act, the Company expects there will be <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">one</div>-time adjustments for the re-measurement of deferred tax assets (liabilities) and the deemed repatriation tax on unremitted foreign earnings and profits. Quantifying the impacts of the Act is <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> practicable at this time due, among other things, to the inherent complexities involved. Accordingly, the Company expects to continue to analyze such impacts and record any such amounts in the <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">second</div> quarter of fiscal <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">2018.</div></div></div>
