RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
During the fourth quarter 2011, the Company committed to restructuring plans (the "2011 Plan") to expand our operating margins and improve our earnings through substantial cost and capacity reductions, primarily within our North America and EMEA operating segments. Included within this plan are previously announced restructuring initiatives and the financial restructuring of a long standing customer in Europe. During the second quarter 2013, the Company announced actions to cease refrigeration production in two European manufacturing facilities by 2014. We continue to expect to incur approximately $500 million of total costs related to the 2011 Plan, with substantial completion expected by the end of 2013.
The 2011 Plan includes the following announced actions:
•
Overall workforce reduction of more than 5,000 positions, including approximately 1,200 salaried positions.
•
Closure of a refrigeration manufacturing facility in the United States in 2012.
•
Ceased laundry production in a European manufacturing facility in 2012.
•
Ceased dishwasher production in a European manufacturing facility in January 2012.
•
Additional organizational efficiency actions in North America and EMEA.
•
Cease refrigeration production in two European manufacturing facilities by 2014.

The following table summarizes the change in our restructuring liability for the period ended September 30, 2013 and cumulative charges recognized and total expected charges for the 2011 Plan as of September 30, 2013.
