[1] As a result of the September 2012 Program, the Company recognized a curtailment gain of $1.7 million, partially offset by $0.1 million of accumulated actuarial losses and $0.1 million of prior service costs previously reported within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, for a net gain of $1.5 million, which was recorded within restructuring charges for the year ended December 31, 2012. (See Note 15, "Savings Plan, Pension and Post-retirement Benefits").

[2] The Company recognized a $1.5 million curtailment gain in 2010, primarily in connection with the amendments to its Canadian defined benefit pension plan in 2010, which reduced pension liability and was recorded as an offset against the net actuarial losses previously reported within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. (See Note 15, "Savings Plan, Pension and Post-retirement Benefits").
