Loss on restructure of debt for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 resulted from a series of transactions with holders of certain of our convertible notes. (See "Debt – Debt Restructure" note.) Loss on restructure of debt for the first nine months of 2013 included a $31 million charge associated with a cash repurchase of $464 million of aggregate principal amount of our 2014 Notes.

In the second quarter of 2014, the provisional amounts recorded in connection with our MMJ Acquisition were adjusted, primarily for pre-petition liabilities. As a result, we recorded a non-operating expense of $33 million in the second quarter of 2014 for these measurement period adjustments. (See "Micron Memory Japan, Inc." note.)

Gain (loss) from changes in currency exchange rates for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 included currency losses of $47 million and $225 million, respectively, from changes in the market value of the MMJ Acquisition Hedges. (See "Derivative Instruments" note.)
