The objective of the cost reduction initiatives implemented in the fourth quarter of 2008 was to reduce our
current annualized cost run rate by more than $400 million to enhance profitability in the current economic
environment. We will continue to emphasize productivity improvement initiatives that may result in additional
restructurings. For further details regarding these restructuring initiatives and related costs and charges, refer to
