Loss on restructure of debt for the first quarter of 2014 resulted from a series of transactions with holders of our 2027 Notes, 2031A Notes and 2031B Notes. We estimate that our second quarter of 2014 will include an aggregate additional loss of $68 million as a result of the debt conversions relating to the Termination of Conversion Rights for the 2027 Notes and the Redemption Notice for the remaining 2031A Notes. (See "Debt" note.) Other non-operating expense in the first quarter of 2013 included currency losses of $62 million from changes in the market value of yen currency hedges executed in connection with our planned acquisition of Elpida Memory, Inc. (See "Derivative Instruments" note.)
