Restructuring Activities
Programs Implemented During 2012
In the second quarter of 2012, the Company committed to a restructuring plan to exit various sales office locations in Europe. These exit activities impacted approximately 30 employees and were intended to further reduce the Company's fixed cost structure by streamlining the sales force in Europe. As of December 31, 2012, all exit activities were substantially complete and all restructuring expenses had been incurred. The total cost of this restructuring action was approximately $4.
In the third quarter of 2012, the Company committed to a restructuring plan to reduce global headcount by approximately 130 employees to further reduce the Company's fixed cost structure. This action was complete as of December 31, 2012. The total cost of this restructuring action was approximately $5.
Programs Implemented Prior to 2012

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company committed to a restructuring plan that included exit activities at 5
manufacturing sites in the U.S. and Europe. As of December 31, 2011, all exit activities were substantially
complete and all restructuring expenses had been incurred. These exit activities impacted approximately 240
employees and were intended to reduce the Company's fixed cost structure and better align its global
manufacturing and distribution footprint.

Additionally, in 2009 the Company initiated a voluntary retirement program that was accepted by 87 eligible
U.S. employees as part of its cost reduction and long-term profit enhancement initiatives. This action is complete.

The Company also executed a selected reduction in workforce of approximately 130 people during 2010. This
action was completed at December 31, 2010.
The following provides a summary of restructuring costs by period indicated. As each of the restructuring programs is complete as of December 31, 2012, no additional restructuring costs related to these programs are expected with respect to the above described plans.
