(2) | Facility exit and other related costs consist of asset impairment charges and other costs primarily related to the exit of the Walhalla, ND ethanol facility.
(3) | As part of the Company’s ongoing portfolio management, the Company decided to divest its interests in Gruma S.A.B. de C.V. and related joint ventures (“Gruma”). As a result, the Company’s equity method investments in Gruma were evaluated for impairment. In the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a $146 million pre-tax asset impairment charge ($0.16 per share after tax) on its investments in Gruma by comparing the carrying value, including $123 million of cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation losses, to estimated fair value. Fair value was estimated based on negotiations which resulted in the Company entering into a non-binding letter of intent to sell its interests in Gruma to a third party on October 16, 2012. The Company sold its interest in Gruma in December 2012.
