2016 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIn December 2015, our Performance Products segment announced plans for a reorganization of its commercial and technical functions and a refocused divisional business strategy to better position the segment for growth in coming years. In addition, a program was launched to capture growth opportunities, improve manufacturing cost efficiency and reduce inventories. In connection with this restructuring program, we recorded restructuring expense of $10Ìýmillion in the six months ended JuneÌý30, 2016.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn SeptemberÌý27, 2011, we announced plans to implement a significant restructuring of our Textile Effects segment, including the closure of our production facilities and business support offices in Basel, Switzerland, as part of an ongoing strategic program aimed at improving the Textile Effects segment's long-term global competitiveness. In connection with this plan, during the six months ended JuneÌý30, 2016, our Textile Effects segment recorded charges of $1Ìýmillion for non-cancelable long-term contract termination costs, $1Ìýmillion for decommissioning and $2Ìýmillion in other restructuring costs associated with this initiative.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn DecemberÌý1, 2014, we announced a comprehensive restructuring program to improve the global competitiveness of our Pigments and Additives segment. As part of the program, we are reducing our workforce by approximately 900 positions. In connection with this restructuring program, we recorded restructuring expense of $4Ìýmillion in the six months ended JuneÌý30, 2016.

As part of the program, we recorded restructuring expense of approximately $3Ìýmillion in the six months ended JuneÌý30, 2016. Additionally, we recorded an impairment charge of $1Ìýmillion during the second quarter of 2016. The majority of the long-lived assets associated with this manufacturing facility were impaired in the fourth quarter of 2015.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIn connection with planned restructuring activities, our Pigments and Additives segment recorded accelerated depreciation as restructuring expense of $7Ìýmillion during the six months ended JuneÌý30, 2016.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIn June 2015, our Advanced Materials segment initiated a restructuring program in Europe.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn SeptemberÌý27, 2011, we announced plans to implement a significant restructuring of our Textile Effects segment, including the closure of our production facilities and business support offices in Basel, Switzerland, as part of an ongoing strategic program aimed at improving the Textile Effects segment's long-term global competitiveness.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn DecemberÌý1, 2014, we announced that we are taking significant action to improve the global competitiveness of our Pigments and Additives segment.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn FebruaryÌý12, 2015, we announced a plan to close the 'black end' manufacturing operations and ancillary activities at our Calais, France site, which will reduce our titanium dioxide capacity by approximately 100 kilotons, or 13% of our European titanium dioxide capacity. In connection with this announcement, we began to accelerate depreciation on the affected assets and recorded accelerated depreciation in the six months ended JuneÌý30, 2015 of $73Ìýmillion as restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. In addition, during the six months ended JuneÌý30, 2015, we recorded charges of $23Ìýmillion for workforce reductions and non-cash charges of $10Ìýmillion.
