(1) | During the third quarter of 2012, we determined that sufficient indicators existed to require an interim impairment review of our Diversey trade name. Based on our analysis, the fair value of this intangible was lower than the carrying value, which resulted in a pre-tax impairment charge of $189 million. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2012, we completed our annual impairment test for indefinite lived trademarks and trade names, and we performed an interim impairment review of our customer relationships. As a result, we recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $149 million of customer relationships, and a pre-tax impairment charge of $441 million of trademarks and trade names.
(2) | During the fourth quarter of 2012, we made a decision to suspend certain development efforts and abandon future product development work on a project included in our Other Category for segment reporting. As a result, we recorded an impairment of $22 million ($14 million, net of taxes), which is included in impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets on the consolidated statements of operations in the year ended December 31, 2012.
