Included in the exit activity and other reserve balance at March 28, 2014 are $2.0 million and $0.5 million in contract termination costs related to the underutilized facilities in the United Kingdom and Germany, respectively, in the banana segment; and $0.4 million in termination benefits in Germany related to the prepared food segment. We do not expect additional charges related to the exit and other activities mentioned above that would significantly impact our results of operations or financial condition.
