(1) Income before income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 for the U.S. Operations includes the impact of $1.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in duplicate rent charges for the Company’s new U.S. headquarters in lower Manhattan, while it still occupied its midtown Manhattan office through June 2013 and a one-time charge of $3.9 million upon completion of the move, including a reserve for the remaining lease obligation at the previous headquarters.

(2) In the second quarter of 2013, the Company implemented a plan, whereby the Company would close its technology research and development facility in Israel and outsource that function to a third party service provider model effective January 1, 2014. This plan is primarily focused on reducing costs by limiting the Company’s geographic footprint while maintaining the necessary technological expertise via a consulting agreement. The Company also reduced previously-recorded 2012 and 2011 restructuring accruals of $1.3 million for its U.S. Operations and $0.3 million for its Canadian Operations to reflect the sub-lease of previously-vacated office space and certain legal and other employee related charges deemed unnecessary.

(3) Loss before income tax benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 includes the impact of goodwill impairment charges of $245.1 million, $28.5 million and $0.7 million for the U.S., European and Asia Pacific Operations, respectively.
