The Company expects to incur full year 2013 rationalization expense of approximately $80 million to $85 million. This includes the $65 million incurred to date, as well as costs to complete actions initiated before the end of the third quarter and actions anticipated to be approved and initiated during the remainder of the year. Severance and benefits costs are associated with forcecount reduction, mainly for Industrial Automation and Network Power in most geographic areas. Start-up and moving costs to redeploy assets to best cost locations and expand geographically to directly serve local markets were incurred in all segments.
