the tax effects of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, unrealized gains and losses on certain derivative
financial instruments, and other comprehensive income related to certain retirement plans were recorded in other
comprehensive income and had no effect on income tax expense (see Note 23 “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,”
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

income tax expense and effective tax rate for the past three years is as follows:
