A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated in this Item 2.02 by reference.

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

The Press Release also announced that the Company had accelerated and expanded a program to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies. As part of the cost savings initiatives, on February 6, 2013, the Company committed to a plan to restructure its European operations. In total, approximately 120 employee positions are expected to be eliminated in connection with the European restructuring actions. As a result of the European restructuring actions, the Company expects to incur charges of approximately $18 million, substantially all of which will be for severance costs and require future cash expenditures. The European restructuring actions are subject to required consultations with employee representatives at certain sites and other local legal requirements and are therefore subject to change.
