Restructuring actions related to the acquisition of National are discussed in Note 2 and are reflected on the Acquisition charges line of our Consolidated statements of income.

2012 Wireless action
In November 2012, we announced an action concerning our former Wireless segment that, when complete, is expected to reduce annualized expenses by about $450 million and will focus our investments on embedded markets with greater potential for sustainable growth. About 1,700 jobs worldwide are expected to be eliminated. We estimate that this action will be substantially complete by the end of 2013. As of June 30, 2013, $48 million has been paid to terminated employees for severance and benefits related to this action.

2011 actions
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, we recognized restructuring charges associated with the announced plans to close two older semiconductor manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas, and Hiji, Japan, in 2013. As of June 30, 2013, about $52 million has been paid to terminated employees for severance and benefits related to this action.

The table below reflects the changes in accrued restructuring balances associated with these actions:

The accrual balances above are primarily a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities or Deferred credits and other liabilities on our Consolidated balance sheets, depending on the expected timing of payment.

Other
Gain on technology transfer
During the second quarter of 2013, we entered into an agreement to transfer wireless connectivity technology to a customer. This technology was associated with the former Wireless business that we have previously announced we are exiting. As a result, we recognized a gain of $315 million.
