RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES
2005 and 2009 Restructuring Programs
We launched restructuring programs in late 2005 (the "2005 Restructuring Program") and in February 2009 (the "2009 Restructuring Program"). The 2005 and 2009 Restructuring Programs initiatives include:
enhancement of organizational effectiveness, including efforts to flatten the organization and bring senior management closer to consumers through a substantial organizational downsizing;
implementation of a global manufacturing strategy through facilities realignment;
implementation of additional supply chain efficiencies in distribution;
restructuring our global supply chain operations;
realigning certain local business support functions to a more regional base to drive increased efficiencies; and
streamlining of transactional and other services through outsourcing, moves to lower-cost countries, and reorganizing certain other functions.
We have approved and announced all of the initiatives that are part of our 2005 and 2009 Restructuring Programs. We believe that we have substantially realized the anticipated savings associated with our 2005 Restructuring Program, and we are on track to achieving our anticipated savings associated with our 2009 Restructuring Program. The savings achieved from these Restructuring Programs have been offset by investments in Representative Value Proposition and advertising. Since 2005, we have recorded total costs to implement restructuring initiatives of $526.1 for actions associated with the 2005 Restructuring Program, but we expect our total costs when fully implemented to be approximately $520 when considering historical and future costs along with expected gains from sales of properties. With regards to the 2009 Restructuring Program, we have recorded total costs to implement restructuring initiatives of $261.4 since 2009 and expect total costs to fully implement to reach $300 to $310.
Restructuring Charges – First Quarter of 2012
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded total costs to implement of $5.5 associated with previously approved initiatives that are part of our 2005 and 2009 Restructuring Programs, and the costs consisted of the following:
net benefit of $1.1, primarily for employee-related costs offset by adjustments to the reserve;
implementation costs of $4.3, for professional service fees, primarily associated with our initiatives to outsource certain finance processes and realign certain distribution operations; and
accelerated depreciation of $2.3, associated with our initiatives to realign certain distribution operations.
Of the total costs to implement, $2.8 was recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses and $2.7 was recorded in cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Restructuring Charges – First Quarter 2011
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded total costs to implement of $14.7 associated with previously approved initiatives that are part of our 2005 and 2009 Restructuring Programs, and the costs consisted of the following:
net charge of $9.6, primarily for adjustments to the reserves for employee-related costs;
implementation costs of $9.0, for professional service fees, primarily associated with our initiatives to outsource certain finance processes and realign certain distribution operations; and
accelerated depreciation of $1.6, associated with our initiatives to realign certain distribution operations, offset by a gain of $5.5 due to the sale of land and building in Germany.
Of the total costs to implement, $13.5 was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and $1.2 was recorded in cost of sales for the three months ended March 30, 2011.

As noted previously, we expect to record total costs to implement of approximately $520 before taxes for all restructuring initiatives under the 2005 Restructuring Program and in the range of $300 to $310 before taxes for all restructuring initiatives under the 2009 Restructuring Program, in each case including restructuring charges and other costs to implement. The amounts shown in the tables above as charges recorded to date relate to initiatives that have been approved and recorded in the financial statements as the costs are probable and estimable. The amounts shown in the tables above as total expected charges on approved initiatives represent charges recorded to date plus charges yet to be recorded for approved initiatives as the relevant accounting criteria for recording an expense have not yet been met. In addition to the charges included in the tables above, we will incur other costs to implement restructuring initiatives such as other professional services and accelerated depreciation. These future costs are expected to be more than offset by gains on the sales of properties exited due to restructuring initiatives.

Additional Restructuring Charges
In an effort to improve operating performance, we identified certain actions in the first quarter of 2012 that we believe will enhance our operating model, reduce costs, and improve efficiencies. As a result of the analysis and the actions taken, we recorded total costs to implement this restructuring of $21.8 associated with approved initiatives, and the costs consisted of the following:
net charge of $18.8, primarily for employee-related costs;
implementation costs of $3.0, for professional service fees.
Total costs to implement were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Cash payments associated with these charges are expected to be made during 2012 and 2013.
The liability balance for these as of March 31, 2012 is as follows:
