(a) In April 2019, we recorded an $8.4 million loss on extinguishment related to the call premium paid and other debt related costs associated with redemption of the outstanding $525.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2022. In July 2017, we recorded a loss on debt retirement of $4.4 million relating to the partial early repayment of our 6.625% Senior Notes due 2021.
(b) In 2020, income tax expense includes a $20.2 million discrete tax benefit from the recognition of deferred tax assets we expect to utilize in future years. In 2019, income tax expense includes a net $11.1 million discrete income tax charge related to changes in the valuation of certain deferred tax assets. In 2018, we recorded a $22.3 million income tax expense to complete the accounting for the impact of the Tax Act. This expense reduced our estimated net tax benefit of $41.6 million recorded in 2017, primarily due to the reversal of a valuation allowance on certain U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of the enactment of the Tax Act.
(c) In October 2020, our Board of Directors approved the initiation of a regular quarterly cash dividend on our common stock. The first quarterly dividend of $0.04 per share was paid on January 7, 2021 to stockholders of record as of December 18, 2020.
