NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

1.
Interim reporting

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and the Company’s description of critical accounting policies, included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.    Acquisitions

Marazzi Acquisition
On December 20, 2012, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with LuxELIT S.á r.l., a Luxembourg limited liability company and Finceramica S.p.A., an Italian corporation (collectively, “Sellers”), to acquire the shares of Fintiles S.p.A. ("Marazzi"). On April 3, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the acquisition of Marazzi for $1,522,731. The Marazzi business is reflected in the Ceramic segment.
The equity value of Marazzi was paid to the Sellers in cash and in the Company's common stock (the “Shares”). The number of Shares transferred as part of the consideration was calculated using the average closing price for the Company's common stock over a 30-day trading period ending March 19, 2013.
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company (i) acquired the entire issued share capital of Marazzi and (ii) assumed $901,773 of indebtedness of Marazzi, in exchange for the following consideration:
 
A cash payment of $307,052; and
2,874 newly issued Shares for a value of $313,906.
The Company funded the cash portion of the Marazzi acquisition through a combination of the 3.85% Senior Notes (as discussed in Note 16), cash on hand and borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. The Company incurred $13,812 of direct transaction costs, which are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013.
The Marazzi acquisition makes the Company a global leader in ceramic tile. The addition of Marazzi will allow the Company to expand its U.S. distribution, source ceramic tile from a worldwide base, and provide industry leading innovation and design to all of its global ceramic customers. The acquisition will provide opportunities to improve performance by leveraging best practices, operational expertise, product innovation and manufacturing assets across the enterprise.

The Company is continuing to obtain information to complete its valuation of intangible assets, as well as to determine the value of the acquired assets and liabilities including tax assets, liabilities and other attributes.

Intangible assets subject to amortization of $21,792 related to customer relationships have an estimated average life of 10 years. In addition to the amortizable intangible assets, there is an additional $215,357 in indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets. The goodwill of $262,613 was allocated to the Ceramic segment. The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the Marazzi acquisition. These benefits include the opportunities to improve the Company's ceramic performance by leveraging best practices, operational expertise, product innovation and manufacturing assets across the segment. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Marazzi contributed net sales and a net loss from continuing operations of $309,867 and $6,689, respectively, to the three and six months ended June 29, 2013. The fair value of inventories acquired included a step-up in the value of inventories of approximately $29,781, of which $18,744 was charged to cost of sales in the three months ended June 29, 2013. The remaining $11,037 is expected to be charged to cost of sales during the three months ended September 28, 2013.

In connection with the acquisition of Marazzi, the Company is party to an off-balance sheet accounts receivable securitization facility ("Marazzi Securitization Facility") in which it services receivables sold to a third party. As of June 29, 2013, the amount utilized under the Marazzi Securitization Facility was €73,857. The Company is in the process of terminating this facility.

The pro forma earnings and per share results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 included amounts charged to cost of sales for the step-up to fair value in inventories of approximately $8,243 and $22,242, respectively, net of tax. The pro forma results of operations have been prepared for comparative purposes only, and they do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisition occurred on the date indicated or that may result in the future.

Other Acquisitions

On January 10, 2013, the Company completed its purchase of Pergo, a leading manufacturer of laminate flooring in the U.S. and the Nordic countries. The total value of the acquisition was approximately $150 million. Pergo complements the Company's specialty distribution network in the U.S., leverages its geographic position in Europe, expands its geographic reach to the Nordic countries and India and enhances its patent portfolio. The acquisition's results and a preliminary purchase price allocation are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 30, 2013. The Company's acquisition of Pergo resulted in a preliminary goodwill allocation of $24,501, indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets of $16,834 and intangible assets subject to amortization of $15,188. The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill include the opportunity to optimize the assets of Pergo with the Company's existing Laminate and Wood assets while strengthening the design and product performance of the Pergo and Unilin brands. The Pergo results are reflected in the Laminate and Wood segment.
On May 3, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Spano, a Belgian panel board manufacturer. The total value of the acquisition was approximately $160 million. Spano extends the Laminate and Wood segment's customer base into new channels of distribution and adds technical expertise and product knowledge which we can leverage. The acquisition's results and a preliminary purchase price allocation are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 29, 2013. The Company's acquisition of Spano resulted in a preliminary goodwill allocation of $35,857. The factors

contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill include the extension of the Company's customer base into new channels of distribution and the opportunity for synergies in manufacturing assets and processes, raw materials and operational efficiencies. The Spano results are reflected in the Laminate and Wood segment.
    
3.    Restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs

The Company incurs costs in connection with acquiring, integrating and restructuring acquisitions and in connection with its global cost-reduction/productivity initiatives. For example:

In connection with acquisition activity, the Company typically incurs costs associated with executing the transactions, integrating the acquired operations (which may include expenditures for consulting and the integration of systems and processes), and restructuring the combined company (which may include charges related to employees, assets and activities that will not continue in the combined company); and

In connection with the Company's cost-reduction/productivity initiatives, it typically incurs costs and charges associated with site closings and other facility rationalization actions and workforce reductions.

Restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs consisted of the following during the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012:

4.    Discontinued operations

In conjunction with the Marazzi acquisition, the Company is actively marketing for sale a non-core sanitary ware business acquired as part of the acquisition because the Company does not believe it is consistent with its long-term strategy. The Company determined that the business meets the definition of discontinued operations and accordingly has been presented as such as of the inception date of April 3, 2013. Sales attributable to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 were immaterial. The net assets held for sale related to the discontinued operations as of June 29, 2013 are reported in cash, receivables, inventories, deferred income taxes, other current assets, accounts payable and other accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 29, 2013, as they are immaterial for separate balance sheet presentation.

Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Codification topic (“ASC”) 718-10. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the options’ or other awards’ estimated lives for fixed awards with ratable vesting provisions.

Under the Company’s 2012 Incentive Plan (“2012 Plan”), the Company's principal stock compensation plan as of May 9, 2012, the Company reserved up to a maximum of 3,200 shares of common stock for issuance upon the grant or exercise of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other types of awards, to directors and key employees through 2022. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant and generally vest between three and five years with a 10-year contractual term. Restricted stock and RSUs are granted with a price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant and generally vest between three and five years.

The Company did not grant any options for the three or six months ended June 29, 2013. The Company granted 83 options to employees at a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $28.71 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company recognized stock-based compensation costs related to stock options of $251 ($159 net of taxes) and $518 ($328 net of taxes) for the three months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, which has been allocated to cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company recognized stock-based compensation costs related to stock options of $856 ($542 net of taxes) and $1,132 ($717 net of taxes) for the six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, which has been allocated to cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Pre-tax unrecognized compensation expense for stock options granted to employees and outside directors, net of estimated forfeitures, was $1,501 as of June 29, 2013, and will be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.6 years.

The fair value of the option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and forfeiture rates within the valuation model.

The Company granted 93 RSU's at a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $106.45 per unit for the three months ended June 29, 2013. The Company did not grant any RSU's for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The Company granted 299 and 261 RSUs at a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $110.10 and $65.98 per unit for the six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The Company recognized stock-based compensation costs related to the issuance of RSUs of $3,744 ($2,372 net of taxes) and $2,311 ($1,464 net of taxes) for the three months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, which has been allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses and cost of sales. The Company recognized stock-based compensation costs related to the issuance of RSUs of $8,642 ($5,475 net of taxes) and $7,248 ($4,592 net of taxes) for the six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, which has been allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses and cost of sales. Pre-tax unrecognized compensation expense for unvested RSUs granted to employees, net of estimated forfeitures, was $38,193 as of June 29, 2013, and will be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.1 years.

The Company did not grant any restricted stock awards for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 or June 30, 2012. Compensation expense for restricted stock awards for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, was not significant.

13. Earnings per share

Basic net earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated using net earnings available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS except that the weighted-average number of shares is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

14.    Segment reporting

In connection with the Marazzi acquisition, the Company revised the names of its segments and, beginning in the second quarter of 2013, now refers to the Mohawk Segment as the Carpet segment, the Dal-Tile segment as the Ceramic segment and the Unilin segment as the Laminate and Wood segment. Only the names of the segments are affected by the change and therefore no prior period financial information changed.

The Company has three reporting segments: the Carpet segment, the Ceramic segment and the Laminate and Wood segment. The Carpet segment designs, manufactures, sources, distributes and markets its floor covering product lines, which principally include carpets, modular carpet tiles, rugs, mats and carpet pads, primarily in North America through its network of regional distribution centers and satellite warehouses using Company-operated trucks, common carriers or rail transportation. This segment’s product lines are sold through various selling channels, which include independent floor covering retailers, home centers, mass merchandisers, department stores, commercial dealers and commercial end users. The Ceramic segment designs, manufactures, sources, distributes and markets a broad line of ceramic tile, porcelain tile, natural stone and other products, primarily in North America, Europe and Russia. This segment’s product lines are sold to various selling channels including independent distributors, home center retailers, tile and flooring retailers and contractors. The Laminate and Wood segment designs, manufactures, sources, licenses, distributes and markets laminate and hardwood flooring, roofing systems, insulation panels and other wood products, primarily in Europe and North America. This segment's product lines are sold through various selling channels including retailers, independent distributors and home centers.

The accounting policies for each operating segment are consistent with the Company’s policies for the consolidated financial statements. Amounts disclosed for each segment are prior to any elimination or consolidation entries. Corporate general and administrative expenses attributable to each segment are estimated and allocated accordingly. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating income.

15.    Commitments, contingencies and other

The Company is involved in litigation from time to time in the regular course of its business. Except as noted below, there are no material legal proceedings pending or known by the Company to be contemplated to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

Beginning in August 2010, a series of civil lawsuits were initiated in several U.S. federal courts alleging that certain manufacturers of polyurethane foam products and competitors of the Company’s carpet underlay division had engaged in price fixing in violation of U.S. antitrust laws. Mohawk has been named as a defendant in a number of the individual cases (the first filed on August 26, 2010), as well as in two consolidated amended class action complaints, the first filed on February 28, 2011, on behalf of a class of all direct purchasers of polyurethane foam products, and the second filed on March 21, 2011, on behalf of a class of indirect purchasers. All pending cases in which the Company has been named as a defendant have been filed in or transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio for consolidated pre-trial proceedings under the name In re: Polyurethane Foam Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 1:10-MDL-02196.

In these actions, the plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and/or a class of purchasers, seek three times the amount of unspecified damages allegedly suffered as a result of alleged overcharges in the price of polyurethane foam products from at least 1999 to the present. Each plaintiff also seeks attorney fees, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, court costs, and injunctive relief against future violations. In April 2011, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the class action claims brought by the direct purchasers, and in May 2011, the Company moved to dismiss the claims brought by the indirect purchasers. On July 19, 2011, the Court issued a written opinion denying all defendants’ motions to dismiss. In December 2011, the Company was named as a defendant in a Canadian Class action, Hi ! Neighbor Floor Covering Co. Limited v. Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company, et al., filed in the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario, Canada and Options Consommateures v. Vitafoam, Inc. et.al., filed in the Superior Court of Justice of Quebec, Montreal, Canada, both of which allege similar claims against the Company as raised in the U.S. actions and seek unspecified damages and punitive damages. The Company denies all of the allegations in these actions and will vigorously defend itself.

The Company believes that adequate provisions for resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending litigation have been made for probable losses that are reasonably estimable. These contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and

we are unable to estimate the amount or range of loss, if any, in excess of amounts accrued. The Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these actions will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or liquidity in a given quarter or year.
In January 2012, the Company received a €23,789 assessment from the Belgian tax authority related to its year ended December 31, 2008, asserting that the Company had understated its Belgian taxable income for that year. The Company filed a formal protest in the first quarter of 2012 refuting the Belgian tax authority's position and in order to eliminate the accrual of additional interest on the assessed amount, the Company remitted payment of the tax assessment, plus applicable interest of €2,912 (collectively, the “Deposit”). In July 2012, the Company received notification of the Belgian tax authority's intention to extend the statute of limitations back to and including the tax year 2005. On September 10, 2012, the Company received notice from the Belgian tax authority setting aside the 2008 assessment and refunding the Deposit to the Company. On October 23, 2012, the Company received notification from the Belgian tax authority of its intent to increase the Company's tax base for the 2008 tax year under a revised theory. On December 28, 2012, the Company received the refund of the Deposit of €23,789. On January 30, 2013, the Company received a refund of the interest Deposit of €2,912 and interest income of €1,583 earned on the Deposit.

On December 28, 2012, the Belgian taxing authority issued assessments under a revised theory related to the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2009, in the amounts of €46,135 and €35,567, respectively, excluding potential interest and penalties. The Company timely filed formal protests in the first quarter of 2013 for the years assessed. Subsequent to the quarter ended June 29, 2013, the Company received notifications from the Belgian taxing authority of its intent to increase the Company's tax base in connection with the Company's 2006, 2007 and 2010 tax years. The adjustments proposed relate to the same income items assessed with regard to the 2005 and 2009 tax years. The Company disagrees with the view of the Belgian taxing authority, is reviewing the notifications and intends to continue to vigorously defend itself and contest the proposed changes. Although there can be no assurances, the Company believes the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, liquidity or cash flows in a given quarter or year.
    
16.    Debt

Senior Credit Facility

On July 8, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year, senior, secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”). The Senior Credit Facility provides for a maximum of $900,000 of revolving credit, including limited amounts of credit in the form of letters of credit and swingline loans. The Company paid financing costs of $8,285 in connection with its Senior Credit Facility. These costs were deferred and, along with unamortized costs of $12,277 related to the Company’s prior senior, secured revolving credit facility, are being amortized over the term of the Senior Credit Facility.

On January 20, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the Senior Credit Facility that provides for an incremental term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000. The Company paid financing costs of $1,018 in connection with the amendment to its Senior Credit Facility. These costs were deferred and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Senior Credit Facility. The incremental term loan facility provides for eight scheduled quarterly principal payments of $1,875, with the first such payment due on June 30, 2012, followed by four scheduled quarterly principal payments of $3,750, with remaining quarterly principal payments of $5,625 prior to maturity.

The Senior Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on July 8, 2016. The Company can terminate and prepay the Senior Credit Facility at any time without payment of any termination or prepayment penalty (other than customary breakage costs in respect of loans bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR).

At the Company’s election, revolving loans under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at annual rates equal to either (a) LIBOR for 1-, 2-, 3- or 6- month periods, as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.25% and 2.0%, or (b) the higher of the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, and a monthly LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.25% and 1.0%. The Company also pays a commitment fee to the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility on the average amount by which the aggregate commitments of the lenders exceed utilization of the Senior Credit Facility ranging from 0.25% to 0.4% per annum. The applicable margin and the commitment fee are determined based on the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (with applicable margins and the commitment fee increasing as the ratio increases).

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

All obligations of the Company and the other borrowers under the Senior Credit Facility are required to be guaranteed by all of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries, and all obligations of borrowers that are foreign subsidiaries are guaranteed by those foreign subsidiaries of the Company which the Company designates as guarantors.

Due to the rating agency upgrade announced on March 14, 2012 by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services, LLC (“S&P”), the security interests in domestic accounts receivable and inventories, certain shares of capital stock (or equivalent ownership interests) of the domestic borrowers’ and domestic guarantors’ subsidiaries, and proceeds of any of the foregoing securing obligations under the Senior Credit Facility were released. The Company will be required to reinstate such security interests if there is a ratings downgrade such that: (a) both (i) the Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) rating is Ba2 and (ii) the S&P rating is BB, (b) (i) the Moody’s rating is Ba3 or lower and (ii) the S&P rating is below BBB- (with a stable outlook or better) or (c) (i) the Moody’s rating is below Baa3 (with a stable outlook or better) and (ii) the S&P rating is BB- or lower.

The Senior Credit Facility includes certain affirmative and negative covenants that impose restrictions on the Company’s financial and business operations, including limitations on liens, indebtedness, investments, fundamental changes, asset dispositions, dividends and other similar restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, payments and modifications of certain existing debt, future negative pledges, and changes in the nature of the Company’s business. Many of these limitations are subject to numerous exceptions. The Company is also required to maintain a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0 and a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of no more than 3.75 to 1.0, each as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default, subject to customary grace periods.

As of June 29, 2013, the amount utilized under the Senior Credit Facility excluding the term loan was $582,239 resulting in a total of $317,761 available under the Senior Credit Facility. The amount utilized included $485,143 of borrowings, $46,823 of standby letters of credit guaranteeing the Company’s industrial revenue bonds and $50,273 of standby letters of credit related to various insurance contracts and foreign vendor commitments.

Senior Notes

On January 31, 2013, the Company issued $600,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.85% Senior Notes due February 1, 2023. The Company paid financing costs of $6,000 in connection with the 3.85% Senior Notes. These costs were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the 3.85% Senior Notes.

On January 17, 2006, the Company issued $900,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.125% notes due January 15, 2016. Interest payable on these notes is subject to adjustment if either Moody’s or S&P, or both, upgrades or downgrades the rating assigned to the notes. Each rating agency downgrade results in a 0.25% increase in the interest rate, subject to a maximum increase of 1% per rating agency. If later the rating of these notes improves, then the interest rates would be reduced accordingly. Each 0.25% increase in the interest rate of these notes would increase the Company’s interest expense by approximately $63 per quarter per $100,000 of outstanding notes. In 2009, interest rates increased by an aggregate amount of 75 basis points as a result of downgrades by Moody’s and S&P. In the first quarter of 2012, interest rates decreased by 50 basis points as a result of the upgrades from S&P and Moody’s. Any future downgrades in the Company’s credit ratings could increase the cost of its existing credit and adversely affect the cost of and ability to obtain additional credit in the future.

In 2002, the Company issued $400,000 aggregate principal amount of its senior 7.20% notes due April 15, 2012. During 2011, the Company repurchased $63,730 of its senior 7.20% notes, at an average price equal to 102.72% of the principal amount. On April 16, 2012, the Company repaid the $336,270 principal amount of outstanding senior 7.20% notes, together with accrued interest of $12,106, at maturity using available borrowings under its Senior Credit Facility.

Accounts Receivable Securitization

On December 19, 2012, the Company entered into a three-year on-balance sheet trade accounts receivable securitization agreement (the "Securitization Facility"). The Securitization Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $300,000 based on available accounts receivable and is secured by the Company's U.S. trade accounts receivable. Borrowings under the Securitization Facility bear interest at commercial paper interest rates, in the case of lenders that are commercial paper conduits, or LIBOR, in the case of lenders that are not commercial paper conduits, in each case, plus an applicable margin of 0.75% per annum. The Company also pays a commitment fee at a per annum rate of 0.30% on the unused amount of each lender's commitment. At June 29, 2013, the amount utilized under the Securitization Facility was $300,000.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The Company is the world's largest flooring manufacturer. The Company is the largest manufacturer of ceramic tile and the second largest carpet and rug manufacturer, as well as a leading producer of laminate flooring in Europe and the U.S. The Company continues to expand its international presence in Australia, Brazil, China, France, India, Malaysia, Mexico and Russia through acquisitions and internal expansion. The Company had annual net sales in 2012 of $5.8 billion.

    In connection with the Marazzi acquisition, the Company revised the names of its segments and, beginning in the second quarter of 2013, now refers to the Mohawk segment as the Carpet segment, the Dal-Tile segment as the Ceramic segment and the Unilin segment as the Laminate and Wood segment. Only the names of the segments are affected by the change and therefore no prior period financial information changed.

The Company has three reporting segments: the Carpet segment, the Ceramic segment and the Laminate and Wood segment. The Carpet segment designs, manufactures, sources, distributes and markets its floor covering product lines, which principally include carpets, modular carpet tiles, rugs, mats and carpet pads, primarily in North America through its network of regional distribution centers and satellite warehouses using Company-operated trucks, common carriers or rail transportation. This segment’s product lines are sold through various selling channels, which include independent floor covering retailers, home centers, mass merchandisers, department stores, commercial dealers and commercial end users. The Ceramic segment designs, manufactures, sources, distributes and markets a broad line of ceramic tile, porcelain tile, natural stone and other products, primarily in North America, Europe, and Russia. This segment’s product lines are sold to various selling channels including independent distributors, home center retailers, tile and flooring retailers and contractors. The Laminate and Wood segment designs, manufactures, sources, licenses, distributes and markets laminate and hardwood flooring, roofing systems, insulation panels and other wood products, primarily in Europe and North America. This segment's product lines are sold through various selling channels including retailers, independent distributors and home centers.

In 2011, the primary categories of the U.S. floor covering industry, based on sales dollars, were carpet and rug (53%), resilient and rubber (14%), ceramic tile (12%), hardwood (10%), stone (6%) and laminate (5%). Each of these categories is influenced by the average selling price per square foot, the residential builder and homeowner remodeling markets, housing starts and housing resales, average house size and home ownership. In addition, the level of sales in the floor covering industry, both in the U.S. and Europe, is influenced by consumer confidence, spending for durable goods, interest rates and availability of credit, turnover in housing, the condition of the residential and commercial construction industries and the overall strength of the economy.
    
For the three months ended June 29, 2013, net earnings attributable to the Company were $84.6 million, or diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.16, compared to the net earnings attributable to the Company of $73.2 million, or diluted EPS of $1.06, for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in EPS was primarily attributable to the Marazzi, Pergo and Spano acquisitions, higher legacy sales volume, increased operations productivity, the favorable net impact of price and product mix and lower amortization expense, partially offset by higher restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs, inventory step-up related to the Marazzi acquisition, higher input costs and higher interest expense.

For the six months ended June 29, 2013, net earnings attributable to the Company were $135.1 million, or diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.89, compared to the net earnings attributable to the Company of $113.6 million, or diluted EPS of $1.64, for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in EPS was primarily attributable to the Marazzi, Pergo and Spano acquisitions, increased operations productivity, the favorable net impact of price and product mix, lower amortization expense and higher legacy sales volume, partially offset by higher restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs, inventory step-up related to the Marazzi acquisition and higher input costs.
Recent Acquisitions
On January 10, 2013, the Company completed its purchase of Pergo, a leading manufacturer of laminate flooring in the U.S. and the Nordic countries. The total value of the acquisition was approximately $150 million. Pergo complements the Company's specialty distribution network in the U.S., leverages its geographic position in Europe, expands its geographic reach to the Nordic countries and India and enhances its patent portfolio. The acquisition's results and a preliminary purchase price allocation are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 30, 2013.
On April 3, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Marazzi, a global manufacturer, distributor and marketer of ceramic tile. The total value of the acquisition was approximately $1.5 billion. The Marazzi acquisition makes the Company a global leader in ceramic tile. The addition of Marazzi will allow the Company to expand its U.S. distribution,

source ceramic tile from a worldwide base, and provide industry leading innovation and design to all of its global ceramic customers. The acquisition will provide opportunities to improve performance by leveraging best practices, operational expertise, product innovation and manufacturing assets across the enterprise. The acquisition's results and a preliminary purchase price allocation are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 29, 2013.
On May 3, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Spano, a Belgian panel board manufacturer. The total value of the acquisition was approximately $160 million. Spano extends the Laminate and Wood segment's customer base into new channels of distribution and adds technical expertise and product knowledge which we can leverage. The synergies between the Laminate and Wood segment and Spano create opportunities to optimize manufacturing assets and processes, raw materials and operational efficiencies. The acquisition's results and a preliminary purchase price allocation are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 29, 2013.

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended June 29, 2013, as Compared with Quarter Ended June 30, 2012

Net sales

Net sales for the three months ended June 29, 2013 were $1,976.3 million, reflecting an increase of $506.5 million, or 34.5%, from the $1,469.8 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Carpet segment—Net sales increased $36.4 million, or 5.0%, to $770.9 million for the three months ended June 29, 2013, compared to $734.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily driven by the favorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $21 million and higher volume of approximately $15 million. The higher volume was primarily attributable to improvements in the residential specialty and home center channels, as well as the commercial hospitality, corporate and healthcare channels.

Ceramic segment—Net sales increased $355.9 million, or 88.0%, to $760.2 million for the three months ended June 29, 2013, compared to $404.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily driven by higher volume of approximately $351 million, the favorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $3 million and the impact of favorable foreign exchange rates of approximately $2 million. Of the $351 million in volume increases, $310 million was attributable to the Marazzi acquisition.

The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily attributable to higher sales volume of approximately $152 million that is mainly attributable to the acquisitions, operations productivity of approximately $22 million and the favorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $14 million, partially offset by higher input costs of approximately $30 million, inventory step-up related to the Marazzi acquisition of approximately $19 million and higher restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs of approximately $8 million,

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 29, 2013 were $380.9 million (19.3% of net sales), compared to $280.7 million (19.1% of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to the favorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $16 million, operations productivity of approximately $11 million, lower restructuring costs of approximately $7 million and higher sales volume of approximately $6 million, partially offset by higher input costs of approximately $21 million.

Ceramic segment—Operating income including restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs was $46.3 million (6.1% of segment net sales) for the three months ended June 29, 2013 reflecting an increase of $9.9 million compared to operating income of $36.4 million (9.0% of segment net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by volume increases of approximately $61 million that are mainly attributable to the Marazzi acquisition and operations productivity of approximately $4 million, partially offset by higher restructuring and integration-related costs of approximately $23 million, inventory step-up related to the Marazzi acquisition of approximately $19 million and increases in input costs of approximately $4 million.

The increase was primarily due to interest associated with the 3.85% Senior Notes issued in contemplation of the Marazzi acquisition.

Other expense (income)

Other income was $1.1 million for the three months ended June 29, 2013, reflecting a favorable change of $1.5 million compared to other expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Operating income for the six months ended June 29, 2013 was $220.0 million (6.4% of net sales) reflecting an increase of $40.3 million, or 22.5%, compared to operating income of $179.7 million (6.2% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by sales volume of approximately $73 million that is primarily attributable to the acquisitions, increases in operations productivity of approximately $31 million, lower amortization expense of approximately $21 million and the favorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $19 million, partially offset by higher restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs of approximately $43 million, inventory step-up related to the Marazzi acquisition of approximately $19 million and higher input costs of approximately $33 million.

Carpet segment—Operating income was $80.1 million (5.5% of segment net sales) for the six months ended June 29, 2013 reflecting an increase of $17.7 million compared to operating income of $62.4 million (4.4% of segment net sales) for the

six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to the favorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $21 million and operations productivity of approximately $15 million, partially offset by higher input costs of approximately $19 million.

Ceramic segment—Operating income including restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs was $76.3 million (6.5% of segment net sales) for the six months ended June 29, 2013 reflecting an increase of $13.8 million compared to operating income of $62.5 million (7.8% of segment net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by volume increases of approximately $64 million that are mainly attributable to the Marazzi acquisition and operations productivity of approximately $7 million, partially offset by inventory step-up related to the Marazzi acquisition of approximately $19 million, higher restructuring and integration-related costs of approximately $24 million and higher input costs of approximately $9 million.

Laminate and Wood segment—Operating income including restructuring and integration-related costs was $80.1 million (9.1% of segment net sales) for the six months ended June 29, 2013 reflecting an increase of $12.3 million compared to operating income of $67.7 million (9.8% of segment net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by lower amortization expense of approximately $21 million, higher sales volume of approximately $12 million mainly attributable to the Pergo and Spano acquisitions and increases in operations productivity of approximately $9 million, partially offset by higher restructuring and integration-related costs of approximately $20 million, the unfavorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $7 million and higher input costs of approximately $5 million.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $44.5 million for the six months ended June 29, 2013, reflecting an increase of $3.1 million compared to interest expense of $41.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to interest associated with the 3.85% Senior Notes issued in contemplation of the Marazzi acquisition, partially offset by lower interest rates on the Company's outstanding debt attributable to the shift from the higher interest rate senior 7.20% notes to the Senior Credit Facility.

Other expense (income)

Other expense was $5.3 million for the six months ended June 29, 2013, reflecting an increase of $6.7 million compared to other income of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The change was primarily attributable to the net change in foreign currency gains/losses of approximately $9.7 million.

Income tax expense

For the six months ended June 29, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $34.0 million on earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $170.3 million for an effective tax rate of 20.0%, as compared to an income tax expense of $25.5 million on earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $139.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 18.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The difference in the effective tax rate for the comparative period is due to the Pergo, Marazzi and Spano acquisitions and the geographical dispersion of earnings and losses for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Company’s capital needs are met primarily through a combination of internally generated funds, bank credit lines, term and senior notes and credit terms from suppliers.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2013 was $113.9 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $95.6 million in the first six months of 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to higher earnings.

Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2013 was $595.6 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $94.7 million in the first six months of 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to acquisitions of $449.5 million and capital expenditures of $146.1 million. Capital spending during the remainder of 2013, including capital expenditure requirements related to our recent acquisitions, is expected to range from approximately $235 million to $245

million and is intended to be used primarily to purchase equipment, add geographic capacity and to streamline manufacturing capabilities.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2013 was $207.6 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $13.2 million in the first six months of 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to the proceeds from the 3.85% Senior Notes and proceeds from the senior credit facility used to fund the Marazzi acquisition which closed on April 3, 2013.

On July 8, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year, senior, secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”). The Senior Credit Facility provides for a maximum of $900.0 million of revolving credit, including limited amounts of credit in the form of letters of credit and swingline loans. The Company paid financing costs of $8.3 million in connection with its Senior Credit Facility. These costs were deferred and, along with unamortized costs of $12.3 million related to the Company’s prior senior, secured revolving credit facility, are being amortized over the term of the Senior Credit Facility.

On January 20, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the Senior Credit Facility that provides for an incremental term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million. The Company paid financing costs of $1.0 million in connection with the amendment to its Senior Credit Facility. These costs were deferred and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Senior Credit Facility. The incremental term loan facility provides for eight scheduled quarterly principal payments of $1.875 million, with the first such payment due on June 30, 2012, followed by four scheduled quarterly principal payments of $3.750 million, with remaining quarterly principal payments of $5.625 million prior to maturity.

The Senior Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on July 8, 2016. The Company can terminate and prepay the Senior Credit Facility at any time without payment of any termination or prepayment penalty (other than customary breakage costs in respect of loans bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR).

At the Company’s election, revolving loans under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at annual rates equal to either (a) LIBOR for 1-, 2-, 3- or 6- month periods, as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.25% and 2.0%, or (b) the higher of the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, and a monthly LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.25% and 1.0%. The Company also pays a commitment fee to the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility on the average amount by which the aggregate commitments of the lenders exceed utilization of the Senior Credit Facility ranging from 0.25% to 0.4% per annum. The applicable margin and the commitment fee are determined based on the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (with applicable margins and the commitment fee increasing as the ratio increases).

All obligations of the Company and the other borrowers under the Senior Credit Facility are required to be guaranteed by all of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and all obligations of borrowers that are foreign subsidiaries are guaranteed by those foreign subsidiaries of the Company which the Company designates as guarantors.

Due to the rating agency upgrade announced on March 14, 2012 by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services, LLC (“S&P”), the security interests in domestic accounts receivable and inventories, certain shares of capital stock (or equivalent ownership interests) of the domestic borrowers’ and domestic guarantors’ subsidiaries, and proceeds of any of the foregoing securing obligations under the Senior Credit Facility were released. The Company will be required to reinstate such security interests if there is a ratings downgrade such that: (a) both (i) the Moody’s Investor’s Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) rating is Ba2 and (ii) the S&P rating is BB, (b) (i) the Moody’s rating is Ba3 or lower and (ii) the S&P rating is below BBB- (with a stable outlook or better) or (c) (i) the Moody’s rating is below Baa3 (with a stable outlook or better) and (ii) the S&P rating is BB- or lower.

The Senior Credit Facility includes certain affirmative and negative covenants that impose restrictions on the Company’s financial and business operations, including limitations on liens, indebtedness, investments, fundamental changes, asset dispositions, dividends and other similar restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, payments and modifications of certain existing debt, future negative pledges, and changes in the nature of the Company’s business. Many of these limitations are subject to numerous exceptions. The Company is also required to maintain a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0 and a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of no more than 3.75 to 1.0, each as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default, subject to customary grace periods.

As of June 29, 2013, the amount utilized under the Senior Credit Facility excluding the term loan was $582.2 million, resulting in a total of $317.8 million available under the Senior Credit Facility. The amount utilized included $485.1 million of

borrowings, $46.8 million of standby letters of credit guaranteeing the Company’s industrial revenue bonds and $50.3 million of standby letters of credit related to various insurance contracts and foreign vendor commitments.

On December 19, 2012, the Company entered into a three-year on-balance sheet trade accounts receivable securitization agreement (the "Securitization Facility"). The Securitization Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $300.0 million based on available accounts receivable and is secured by the Company's U.S. trade accounts receivable. Borrowings under the Securitization Facility bear interest at commercial paper interest rates, in the case of lenders that are commercial paper conduits, or LIBOR, in the case of lenders that are not commercial paper conduits, in each case, plus an applicable margin of 0.75% per annum. The Company also pays a commitment fee at a per annum rate of 0.30% on the unused amount of each lender's commitment. At June 29, 2013, the amount utilized under the Securitization Facility was $300.0 million.

In connection with the acquisition of Marazzi, the Company is party to an off-balance sheet accounts receivable securitization facility ("Marazzi Securitization Facility") in which it services receivables sold to a third party. As of June 29, 2013, the amounts utilized under the Marazzi Securitization Facility was €73.9 million. The Company is in the process of terminating this facility.

On January 31, 2013, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.85% Senior Notes due February 1, 2023. The Company paid financing costs of $6.0 million in connection with the 3.85% Senior Notes. These costs were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the 3.85% Senior Notes.

On January 17, 2006, the Company issued $900.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% notes due January 15, 2016. Interest payable on these notes is subject to adjustment if either Moody’s or S&P, or both, upgrades or downgrades the rating assigned to the notes. Each rating agency downgrade results in a 0.25% increase in the interest rate, subject to a maximum increase of 1% per rating agency. If later the rating of these notes improves, then the interest rates would be reduced accordingly. Each 0.25% increase in the interest rate of these notes would increase the Company’s interest expense by approximately $0.1 million per quarter per $100.0 million of outstanding notes. In 2009, interest rates increased by an aggregate amount of 75 basis points as a result of downgrades by Moody’s and S&P. In the first quarter of 2012, interest rates decreased by 50 basis points as a result of the upgrades from S&P and Moody’s. Any future downgrades in the Company’s credit ratings could increase the cost of its existing credit and adversely affect the cost of and ability to obtain additional credit in the future.

In 2002, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its senior 7.20% notes due April 15, 2012. During 2011, the Company repurchased $63.7 million of its senior 7.20% notes, at an average price equal to 102.72% of the principal amount. On April 16, 2012, the Company repaid the $336.3 million principal amount of outstanding senior 7.20% notes, together with accrued interest of $12.1 million, at maturity using available borrowings under its Senior Credit Facility.

The Company may continue, from time to time, to retire its outstanding debt through cash purchases in the open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amount involved may be material.

As of June 29, 2013, the Company had cash of $168.7 million, of which $121.7 million was held outside the United States. While the Company’s plans are to permanently reinvest the cash held outside the United States, the estimated cost of repatriation for the cash as of June 29, 2013 would have been approximately $42.6 million. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from operations and availability under its Senior Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet its capital expenditure, working capital and debt servicing requirements over the next twelve months.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation affects the Company’s manufacturing costs, distribution costs and operating expenses. The Company expects raw material prices, many of which are petroleum based, to fluctuate based upon worldwide supply and demand of commodities utilized in the Company’s production processes. Although the Company attempts to pass on increases in raw material, energy and fuel-related costs to its customers, the Company’s ability to do so is dependent upon the rate and magnitude of any increase, competitive pressures and market conditions for the Company’s products. There have been in the past, and may be in the future, periods of time during which increases in these costs cannot be fully recovered. In the past, the Company has often been able to enhance productivity and develop new product innovations to help offset increases in costs resulting from inflation in its operations.

Seasonality

The Company is a calendar year-end company. With respect to its Carpet and Ceramic Segments, its results of operations for the first quarter tend to be the weakest followed by the fourth quarter. The second and third quarters typically produce higher net sales and operating income in these segments. These results are primarily due to consumer residential spending patterns which have historically decreased during the holiday season and the first two months following. The Laminate and Wood Segment’s second and fourth quarters typically produce higher net sales and earnings followed by a moderate first quarter and a weaker third quarter. The third quarter is traditionally the weakest due to the European holiday in late summer.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain of the statements in this Form 10-Q, particularly those anticipating future performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies, and similar matters, and those that include the words “could,” “should,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects” and “estimates” or similar expressions constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For those statements, Mohawk claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will be accurate because they are based on many assumptions, which involve risks and uncertainties. The following important factors could cause future results to differ: changes in economic or industry conditions; competition; inflation in raw material prices and other input costs; energy costs and supply; timing and level of capital expenditures; timing and implementation of price increases for the Company’s products; impairment charges; integration of acquisitions; international operations; introduction of new products; rationalization of operations; tax, product and other claims; litigation; and other risks identified in Mohawk’s SEC reports and public announcements.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of June 29, 2013, approximately 59% of the Company's debt portfolio was comprised of fixed-rate debt and 41% was floating-rate debt. A 1.0 percentage point change in the interest rate of the floating-rate debt would not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations. There have been no other significant changes to the Company’s exposure to market risk as disclosed in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.
    
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), which have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that such controls and procedures will meet their objectives, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level for the period covered by this report.

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting other than the integration of the Marazzi acquisition.  The Company completed the Marazzi acquisition on April 3, 2013. As a result of this transaction, the Company's internal control over financial reporting now includes controls, procedures and supporting systems with respect to transactions and account balances of the Marazzi business, which are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in litigation from time to time in the regular course of its business. Except as noted below, there are no material legal proceedings pending or known by the Company to be contemplated to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

Beginning in August 2010, a series of civil lawsuits were initiated in several U.S. federal courts alleging that certain manufacturers of polyurethane foam products and competitors of the Company’s carpet underlay division had engaged in price fixing in violation of U.S. antitrust laws. Mohawk has been named as a defendant in a number of the individual cases (the first filed on August 26, 2010), as well as in two consolidated amended class action complaints, the first filed on February 28, 2011, on behalf of a class of all direct purchasers of polyurethane foam products, and the second filed on March 21, 2011, on behalf of a class of indirect purchasers. All pending cases in which the Company has been named as a defendant have been filed in or transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio for consolidated pre-trial proceedings under the name In re: Polyurethane Foam Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 1:10-MDL-02196.

In these actions, the plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and/or a class of purchasers, seek three times the amount of unspecified damages allegedly suffered as a result of alleged overcharges in the price of polyurethane foam products from at least 1999 to the present. Each plaintiff also seeks attorney fees, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, court costs, and injunctive relief against future violations. In December 2011, the Company was named as a defendant in a Canadian Class action, Hi ! Neighbor Floor Covering Co. Limited v. Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company, et.al., filed in the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario, Canada and Options Consommateures v. Vitafoam, Inc. et.al., filed in the Superior Court of Justice of Quebec, Montreal, Canada, both of which allege similar claims against the Company as raised in the U.S. actions and seek unspecified damages and punitive damages. The Company denies all of the allegations in these actions and will vigorously defend itself.

The Company believes that adequate provisions for resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending litigation have been made for probable losses that are reasonably estimable. These contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and we are unable to estimate the amount or range of loss, if any, in excess of amounts accrued. The Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these actions will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or liquidity in a given quarter or year.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in addition to the other information set forth in this report, could materially affect our business, financial condition or results.

Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
