Earnings Quality Improvement Program (EQIP)

In May 2013, we announced the commencement of EQIP, which is an initiative to deliver meaningful cost savings and network optimization. The costs associated with this plan consist primarily of (i) a reduction in headcount, which is expected to be approximately 750-900 and other costs associated with divisional realignment and connected profitability improvement programs, including severance and termination benefits for employees, expected to be approximately $105 million to $120 million and (ii) costs and capital expenditures associated with incremental supply chain network optimization projects, including facility relocation and closures, expected to be approximately $85 million to $90 million. We currently estimate that we will incur total costs of approximately $190 million to $210 million in connection with implementation of this plan, including capital expenditures of approximately $50 million to $55 million. The plan is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2016.

The other associated costs included in the table above primarily consist of consulting and rebranding costs incurred in connection with the rebranding of the Company and its divisions, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The restructuring charges included in the table above primarily consist of termination and benefit costs. In addition, other associated costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 include $4 million for an asset impairment in Europe, which was included in cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The restructuring charges included in the table above primarily consist of termination and benefit costs.

The restructuring accrual, spending and other activity in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the accrual balance remaining at September 30, 2014 related to this program were as follows:

Cumulative cash payments made in connection with this program, including associated costs through September 30, 2014, were $91 million. We expect to pay $28 million of the accrual balance remaining at September 30, 2014 within the next twelve months. This amount is included in accrued restructuring costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2014. The majority of the remaining accrual of $3 million is expected to be paid in 2015 with minimal amounts to be paid out in 2016. This amount is included in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2014.

Capital expenditures related to this program were $15 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and there were less than $1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Capital expenditures mainly relate to supply chain network optimization.

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, (iii) supply chain network optimization, and (iv) certain other capital expenditures. This program is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2014.

The other associated costs in the table above primarily consist of consulting fees included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The restructuring accrual, spending and other activity in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the accrual balance remaining at September 30, 2014 related to this program were as follows:

Cumulative cash payments made in connection with this program, including associated costs through September 30, 2014, were $212 million. We expect to pay substantially all of the accrual balance remaining at September 30, 2014 within the next twelve months. This amount is included in accrued restructuring costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2014.

Capital expenditures related to this program were $1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $10 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Capital expenditures mainly relate to facilities and supply chain network optimization.

Relocation Activities

New Global Headquarters

On July 23, 2014, we announced that we will be establishing a new global headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. We will relocate the headquarters for our divisions, research and development facilities, and corporate offices. Within the next three years, we anticipate approximately 1,300 jobs will be relocated to Charlotte from our current corporate headquarters in Elmwood Park, New Jersey; all or part of our facilities in Saddle Brook, New Jersey; Danbury, Connecticut; Racine, Wisconsin; and, Duncan and Greenville, South Carolina. We will also relocate a small number of jobs from other locations.

In the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized less than $1 million of expenses related to the relocation efforts. These expenses were included in selling, marketing and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Sale of Building in Racine, Wisconsin

On August 31, 2014, in connection with our relocation efforts, we signed an agreement for purchase and sale relating to our building located in Racine, Wisconsin. As of September 30, 2014, the building and certain related assets met the criteria of assets held for sale classification. Accordingly we reclassified $26 million from property, plant and equipment to assets held for sale, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014. We expect this sale to close during the fourth quarter of 2014.
