NOTE 5

Company Transformation

On October 31, 2011, the Company completed the Distribution. See Note 4, “Discontinued Operations,” for additional information. During 2012 and 2011, we recognized pre-tax expenses of $20.8 and $636.2 in connection with activities taken to create the revised organizational structure and to complete the Distribution (referred to herein as transformation costs). We have presented $13.0 and $396.1 of the pre-tax transformation costs within income from continuing operations and $7.8 and $240.1 within income from discontinued operations. Amounts presented within discontinued operations are costs directly related to the Distribution and provide no future benefit to the Company. The components of transformation costs incurred during 2012 and 2011 are presented below. We do not expect to incur significant transformation costs subsequent to December 31, 2012.
