[1] Based on the annual impairment review of goodwill performed as of the first day of our fourth quarter in 2015 and due to the failure of the tomato and vegetable business in North America to meet our expectations, we wrote-off $66.1 million of goodwill for the quarter ended January 1, 2016, which was related to the 2003 tomato and vegetable business acquisition.

[2] Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended January 1, 2016 excludes the impact of antidilutive share-based payment awards for 483,178 ordinary shares, as they were antidilutive.

[3] Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 26, 2014 excludes the impact of antidilutive share-based payment awards for 399,568 ordinary shares, as they were antidilutive.

[4] Basic and diluted earnings per share for each of the quarters presented above is based on the respective weighted average number of shares for the quarters. The sum of the quarters may not necessarily be equal to the full year basic and diluted earnings per share amounts due to rounding.

[5] Options to purchase shares of common stock and unvested RSU's and PSU's not included in the calculation of Net income per ordinary share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
