[1] Represents the purchase accounting adjustments related to the Diversey acquisition primarily reflecting changes in estimates during the measurement period related to certain legal contingencies that existed as of the acquisition date of October 3, 2011. These adjustments are not considered material to the carrying amount of goodwill or the other offsetting balance sheet line items and these adjustments had no impact to our condensed consolidated statement of operations in 2012. Therefore, we did not revise our previously reported consolidated financial statements for these adjustments.
