(a)
Intersegment net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were not material.

(b)
Legacy items include current costs related to former operations of the Company, including pension and other postretirement benefit costs, certain charges for legal matters and environmental remediation costs, and certain charges which are considered to be unusual or non-recurring, including the earnings impact of the proposed asbestos settlement. Legacy items also include equity earnings from PPG’s approximate 40 percent investment in the former automotive glass and services business.

The expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 includes a pretax charge of$89 million This charge primarily relates to environmental remediation activities at PPG's former Jersey City, N.J., chromium manufacturing plant and associated sites.The expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 includes nonrecurring environmental remediation pretax charges of $101 million and $159 million, respectively. The 2013 and 2012 charges relate to continued environmental remediation activities at legacy chemicals sites, primarily at PPG’s former Jersey City, N.J. chromium manufacturing plant and associated sites. The expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 also includes a pretax charge of $18 million for the settlement losses related to certain legacy Canadian glass pension plans.

(c)
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, include $7 million and $19 million of certain acquisition-related costs, respectively. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes $16 million of flow-through cost of sales for the inventory step up to fair value related principally to the AkzoNobel North American architectural coatings business. The nine months ended September 30, 2012, includes $6 million of flow-through cost of sales for the inventory step up to fair value related to the Dyrup and Colpisa acquisitions. These costs are considered to be unusual and non-recurring and do not reduce the segment earnings used to evaluate the performance of the operating segments.
