Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt - During the second quarter of 2014, we recorded a charge of $10.4 related to the redemption of our 6.25% Senior Unsecured Notes. (Losses) Gains on Sales of Businesses and Investments – During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized a loss from the sale of a business within our Constituency Management Group ("CMG") segment, partially offset by a gain from the sale of a business within our Integrated Agency Networks ("IAN") segment. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized gains on sales of businesses within our IAN segment and sales of investments in Rabbi Trusts. Vendor Discounts and Credit Adjustments – In connection with the liabilities related to vendor discounts and credits established as part of the restatement we presented in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, these adjustments reflect the reversal of certain of these liabilities primarily where the statute of limitations has lapsed, or as a result of differences resulting from settlements with clients or vendors. Other Income (Expense), net – During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a gain on liquidation of an entity in the United Kingdom region within our Corporate and other segment. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a loss related to an other-than-temporary impairment of an investment in the Asia Pacific region within our IAN segment.
