[1] Intangible asset impairment charge in the AFP segment for customer relationships.
[2] Intangible asset impairment charges in the AFP segment tire additives business to reduce the carrying values of the CrystexTM and SantoflexTM tradenames to the estimated fair values. The estimated fair values were determined using an income approach, specifically, the relief from royalty method, including some unobservable inputs. The impairments were primarily the result of weakened demand in the transportation markets impacted by COVID-19 and increased competitive pricing pressure as a result of global capacity increases.
[3] Fixed asset impairment charges and severance costs in the AM segment from the previously reported closure of a performance films manufacturing facility in North America as part of ongoing site optimization.
[4] Fixed asset impairment charges, net and severance costs in the AFP segment from the previously reported closure of an animal nutrition manufacturing facility in Asia Pacific as part of ongoing site optimization.
[5] Site closure costs in third quarter 2021 of $2 million and $1 million in the Chemical Intermediates ("CI") and AFP segments, respectively, and site closure costs, including contract termination fees, in first nine months 2021 of $13 million and $3 million in the CI and AFP segments, respectively, and severance charges in third quarter and first nine months 2020 of $1 million and $5 million, respectively, in the CI segment, resulting from the previously reported plan to discontinue production of certain products at the Singapore manufacturing site. Excluding the fixed asset impairments in 2019, restructuring charges of up to $50 million are expected for this closure, of which $6 million was recognized in 2020.
[6] Asset impairment charges, severance costs, and site closure costs in the AFP segment from the previously reported closure of a tire additives manufacturing facility in Asia Pacific as part of ongoing site optimization.

Management expects total charges of up to $30 million for the closure of this facility, primarily reported in "Cost of sales" and in "Asset impairments and restructuring charges, net" in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings, of which $13 million was recognized in 2020.
