SECTION 2 — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On October 31, 2006, the Company issued a press release regarding its financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
     The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
     As discussed in the Original Forms 8-K, the Company previously announced the commencement of a three-year improvement plan that involves the restructuring of up to 23 underperforming and/or non-strategic plants. During the third quarter of 2006 the Company recorded $14 million of severance, termination benefits, lease termination and other restructuring costs, which will be settled in cash related to this three-year improvement plan.
     In addition, on October 31, 2006 the Company announced that it expects to reduce its global salaried workforce by approximately 900 people. The Company expects to record a charge of up to $65 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 relating to severance and other termination benefits costs, which will be settled in cash. The reduction is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2007 and the related costs are expected to qualify for reimbursement from the Company’s restructuring escrow account.
