Foreign exchange gains and losses on cross-currency intercompany loan balances that are not considered permanently invested are reported above. Foreign exchange gains and losses on loans that are permanently invested are reported in OCI.

 

The loss on extinguishment of debt resulted from writing off the original issue discount and previously deferred financing fees in connection with refinancing our long-term debt and modifying our credit facilities in the first quarter of 2011.

 

 

As discussed in Note 2 above, the gain on sale of equity investments resulted from the divestiture of our interests in the GETRAG Entities.

 

As discussed in Note 13 above, a recovery finalized in the second quarter of 2011 of past outlays related to asbestos claims resulted in a $6 credit to other income, net.
