In the third quarter of 2010, we recognized a $40 million tax benefit associated with the release of a
valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in our international package operations, partially offset by tax
provided for interest earned on refunds.
In the first quarter of 2010, we changed the tax status of a German subsidiary that was taxable in the U.S.
and its local jurisdiction to one that is taxed solely in its local jurisdiction. This change was made primarily to
allow for more flexibility in funding this subsidiary’s operations with local liquidity sources, improve the cash
flow position in the U.S., and help mitigate future currency remeasurement risk. As a result of this change in tax
status, we recorded a non-cash charge of $76 million, which resulted primarily from the write-off of related
deferred tax assets which will not be realizable following the change in tax status.
