Strategic Relocation of Manufacturing Operations

During the fourth quarter of 2009, we initiated an action within Motion Technologies to relocate certain of our production operations to lower cost regions. This action resulted in $21 of total restructuring charges, primarily related to employee severance costs associated with the total headcount reduction of 175, including 153 factory workers, 18 office workers and 4 management employees. This action was completed during 2010.
