Approximately $5.7 million of property, plant, and equipment has been classified as held for sale due to restructuring actions and are included in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. In July, 2013, the Company announced as part of a Lawn and Garden Segment restructuring that it will be re-opening a plant in Sparks Nevada, which at June 30, 2013 is classified as held for sale. This facility will no longer be actively marketed for sale and subsequently be reported as property, plant, and equipment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company is actively pursuing the sale of the remaining facilities classified as held for sale.

On July 18, 2013, the Company announced that its Board approved a restructuring plan in its Lawn and Garden Segment. The planned actions announced comprise the closure of two manufacturing plants; one in Brantford, Ontario and the second in Waco, Texas. A plant in Sparks, Nevada will be re-opened in order to lower our costs to serve the West Coast market and position the segment for future growth. The restructuring actions include closure, relocation and employee related costs. The aggregate charge is expected to approximate $15.0 million, of which $3.0 million will be noncash costs. These actions are expected to improve annual operating profit by approximately $8.0 million. A portion of the benefits from these actions will begin in the fourth quarter of 2013. The majority of the benefits are planned to be realized throughout 2014 in decreased labor, overhead, plant and freight costs.
