Company annuity converted to lump sum paymnent

I received a monthly annuity payment from a company's non-qualified pension plan. The company was sold. They converted my annuity to a one-time lump sum payment. Do I have to treat that as regular income or are there special provisions to spread out tax payments on the lump sum?

There is no provision for spreading out lump sum payments for a on-qualified pension plan.  This is taxable in the year it is distributed.
