1 
Includes the acceleration of $6 million of losses on ship sublease arrangements in the first quarter of 2012, net of $2 million of related sale-leaseback gain amortization during the sublease period. As part of the company's European shipping reconfiguration, five ships, two in the fourth quarter of 2011 and three in the first quarter of 2012, were removed from service and subleased. The primary leases for an equivalent number of ships will not be renewed at the end of 2012. These accelerated sublease losses are included in "Cost of sales."
2 
Includes $1 million ($1 million, net of tax) in "Cost of sales" primarily related to inventory write-offs to exit healthy snacking products that were not sufficiently profitable and $1 million in "Selling, general and administrative" to restructure the European healthy snacking sales force. These costs were recognized and related actions completed during the first quarter of 2012. Includes $1 million in "Cost of sales" in the second quarter of 2012, primarily related to the closure of a research and development facility. Includes $28 million in the third quarter of 2012 to fully impair the company's equity-method investment and to record estimates of probable cash obligations to the Danone JV as described in Note 3.
3 
Includes $2 million ($1 million, net of tax) in "Cost of sales" in the first quarter of 2012, primarily related to inventory write-offs, to exit low-margin other produce. Includes a reserve of $32 million for advances made to a Chilean grower in the second quarter of 2011, as described in Note 4.
4 
Includes "Restructuring and relocation costs" further detailed in Note 2.
