The Venezuelan government announced the official exchange rate of its currency would be adjusted from 4.3 BsF per U.S. dollar to 6.3 BsF per U.S. dollar, effective February 13, 2013. In addition, Venezuelan officials announced that they would be discontinuing the SITME system. The Company believes that the new official rate of 6.30 bolivars to one USD will be the rate that the Company will be allowed to use to repatriate cash from Venezuela. While the Company continues to evaluate the impact of these actions by the Venezuelan government these actions are expected to result in a one-time charge in the first quarter of 2013 primarily related to the Company’s remeasurement of its local balance sheet on the date of the devaluation. The non-recurring pre-tax charge in the first quarter of 2013 is expected to be in the range of $42 million which will be recorded as other expense. There was no impact to the Company's 2012 results of operations or cash flows.
