(9) Restructuring Activities

2013 Earnings Quality Improvement Program (EQIP)

As announced on May 1, 2013, we commenced with EQIP, which is an initiative to deliver meaningful cost savings and network optimization.

The costs associated with this plan will consist primarily of (i) a reduction in headcount (expected to be approximately 400-500 employees) and other costs associated with divisional realignment and connected profitability improvement programs, including severance and termination benefits for employees, expected to be approximately $90 million to $95 million, (ii) costs associated with incremental supply chain network optimization projects, including facility relocation and closures, expected to be approximately $85 million to $95 million, and (iii) other costs associated with the plan, currently estimated to be approximately $5 million to $10 million. These amounts are preliminary estimates based on the information currently available to management. The plan is expected to be completed by the end of 2015. We currently estimate that we will incur total costs of approximately $180 million to $200 million in connection with implementation of this plan, including capital expenditures of approximately $55 million to $70 million. The above amounts include cash payments of $65 million in 2013.

2011-2014 Integration and Optimization Program (IOP)

In December 2011, we initiated a restructuring program associated with the integration of Diversey’s business following our acquisition of Diversey on October 3, 2011. The program primarily consists of (i) reduction in headcount, (ii) consolidation of facilities, and (iii) supply chain network optimization, and (iv) certain other capital expenditures. This program is expected to be completed by the end of 2014.

The associated costs and related restructuring (credits) charges for this program in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 are set forth in the table below.


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2013			2012
Associated costs	$	5.3		$	5.8
Restructuring (credits) charges		(0.2	)		47.3

Total	$	5.1		$	53.1

The associated costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 in the table above include $2 million of consulting fees and $2 million of other costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The associated costs for the three months ended March 31, 2012 in the table above include asset impairment charges of $5 million related to a facility closure in the U.S., reported in cost of sales in our F&B segment.

The restructuring (credits) charges included in the table above primarily consisted of termination and benefits costs, including cash-settled stock appreciation rights that were previously issued to Diversey employees as a portion of the total consideration for the acquisition of Diversey of $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. See Note 15, “Stockholders’ Equity,” for further details of these awards. These charges were included in restructuring and other (credits) charges on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The restructuring accrual, spending and other activity for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the accrual balance remaining at March 31, 2013 were as follows:


Current and non-current restructuring accrual at December 31, 2012	$	88.2
Revisions to accrual		(4.5	)
Additional accrual		3.8
Cash payments during 2013		(19.1	)
Effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates		(1.7	)

Current and non-current restructuring accrual at March 31, 2013	$	66.7

Cumulative cash payments made in connection with this program through March 31, 2013 were $129 million. We expect to pay $59 million of the accrual balance remaining at March 31, 2013 within the next twelve months. This amount is included in accrued restructuring costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013. The majority of the remaining accrual of $8 million is expected to be paid in 2014 with minimal amounts to be paid out in 2015. This amount is included in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013.
