Facility exit costs for vacated facilities related to 32 facilities in the Americas, 26 in EMEA and 11 in the Asia region and consisted of reserves for remaining lease liabilities and the write-down of fixed assets. Other restructuring charges related primarily to other onerous lease obligations that have no ongoing benefit to the Company as well as a loss of $6,634,000 recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 from the write-down of the net assets and goodwill associated with the planned exit of a non-integrated business in the EM Americas region that occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Of the $120,048,000 pre-tax restructuring charges recorded during fiscal 2013, $68,873,000 related to EM, $47,965,000 related to TS and $3,209,000 related to business support functions. As of June 29, 2013, management expects the majority of the remaining severance reserves to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2015, facility exit cost reserves to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2018, and other to be utilized by 2014.

Integration costs incurred related to the integration of acquired businesses and incremental costs incurred as part of the consolidation and closure of certain office and warehouse locations.

These identified personnel have no other meaningful day-to-day operational responsibilities outside of the integration effort.
