2011 Restructuring Program

During 2011, the Company initiated a restructuring program at four facilities to consolidate operations and reduce costs. In connection with this program, during the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.5 million, including $0.3 million for employee termination benefits for workforce consolidations and $0.2 million for facility closure costs in connection with the program. During the remainder of 2012, the Company expects to incur additional contract termination costs of approximately $2.7 million when it has completely exited a leased facility, approximately $0.9 million for facility closure costs related to other facilities, and $0.5 million for other costs in connection with the program. All of the employee termination benefits, facility closure costs and other costs will be paid in 2012. The payment of the lease contract termination costs will continue until 2015.

2007 Arrow Integration Program

In connection with the Company's acquisition of Arrow International, Inc. ("Arrow"), the Company implemented a program in 2007 to integrate Arrow's businesses into the Company's other businesses. The aspects of this program that affect Teleflex employees and facilities (such aspects being referred to as the "2007 Arrow integration program") are charged to earnings and classified as restructuring and impairment charges. The following table provides information relating to the charges associated with the 2007 Arrow integration program that were included in restructuring and other impairment charges in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the periods presented:

	$	2,474	$	(1,931	)	$	(125	)	$	176	$	594

The reduction in accrual from contract termination costs relates to a revised estimate for the settlement of a dispute involving the termination of a European distributor agreement that was established in connection with the acquisition of Arrow in 2007.

As of April 1, 2012, the Company expects future restructuring expenses associated with the 2007 Arrow integration program, if any, to be nominal.
