In January 2007, we announced plans to realign certain North America distribution operations. We have closed our distribution facilities in
Newark, DE and Glenview, IL. Both properties are listed for sale and the Glenview site is under contract for a potential sale.
In July 2009, we announced plans to realign manufacturing operations in North America and Europe. This initiative includes the closing of
manufacturing facility in Springdale, OH in 2012 which is now listed for sale with a potential leaseback of the returns and call center, and
the sale and short-term leaseback of the manufacturing facility in Germany in 2011 which is now closed.
In January 2013, we announced plans to close the Atlanta distribution center in 2013 and the Pasadena distribution center in 2014. Both
properties are being marketed for sale. North America distribution will be managed primarily thorough the Zanesville, OH facility.
Of all the properties listed above, 35 are owned and the remaining 32 are leased. Many of our properties are used for a combination of
manufacturing, distribution and administration. These properties are included in the above listing based on primary usage.
