Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning our business, consolidated financial condition and results of operations. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plansThe Securities and objectives are forward-looking statements. The SECExchange Commission (“SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking statements so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. Some of our statements in this report, in documents incorporated by reference into this report and in our future oral and written statements may be forward-looking. These statements reflect our beliefs and expectations as to future events and trends affecting our business, our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations concerning future events and discuss, among other things, anticipated future financial performance and future business plans. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by such words as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plan,” “assumes,” “could,” “should,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “potential,” “seek,” “predict,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our beliefs and expectations as to future events and trends affecting our business, our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations concerning future events and discuss, among other things, anticipated future financial performance and future business plans. Examples of these forward-looking statements include projections regarding our 2012 guidance2013 outlook and other projections relating to our financial performance such as those in the “Components of Change in Net Sales” and “Cost of Sales” sections in Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.Operations (“MD&A”).

The following are important factors that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements: the implementation of our Settlement agreement (as defined in Note 15,14, “Commitments and Contingencies”) regarding the various asbestos-related, fraudulent transfer, successor liability, and indemnification claims made against the Company arising from a 1998 transaction with W. R. Grace & Co.; global economic and political conditions; changes in our credit ratings; changes in raw material pricing and availability; changes in energy costs; competitive conditions; success of our restructuring activities; currency translation and devaluation effects, including in Venezuela; the success of our financial growth, profitability, cash generation and manufacturing strategies and our cost reduction and productivity efforts; the effects of animal and food-related health issues; pandemics; consumer preferences; environmental matters; regulatory actions and legal matters; successful integration of Diversey and the other information referenced below in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-U.S. GAAP Information

In our MD&A, we present financial information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We also present financial information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP, which we refer to as non-U.S. GAAP, as our management believes it is useful to investors. In addition, non-U.S. GAAP measures are used by management to review and analyze our operating performance and, along with other data, as internal measures for setting annual budgets and forecasts, assessing financial performance, providing guidance and comparing our financial performance with our peers. The non-U.S. GAAP information has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP information. It does not purport to represent any similarly titled U.S. GAAP information and is not an indicator of our performance under U.S. GAAP. Further, non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that we present may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by others. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these non-U.S. GAAP measures. Investors are also urged to review and consider carefully the adjustments made by management to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure to arrive at these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures.

- 3 -Our management will assess our financial results, such as gross profit, operating profit and diluted net earnings per common share (“EPS”), both on a U.S. GAAP basis and on an adjusted non-U.S. GAAP basis. Examples of some other supplemental financial metrics our management will also use to assess our financial performance include Earnings before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the core operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain one-time expenses and/or gains (which may not occur in each period presented) and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods and peers more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts. Our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may also be considered in calculations of our performance measures set by the Organization and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors for purposes of determining incentive compensation.


The non-U.S. GAAP financial metrics mentioned above exclude items we consider unusual or special items and also exclude their related tax effects. We evaluate the unusual or special items on an individual basis. Our evaluation of whether to exclude an unusual or special item for purposes of determining our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including, among other things (i) its nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to our ongoing business operations, and (iii) whether or not we expect it to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis.

Another non-U.S GAAP financial metric we present is our core income tax rate or provision (“core tax rate”). Our core tax rate is a measure of our U.S. GAAP effective tax rate, adjusted to exclude the tax impact from the special items that are excluded from our Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EPS metrics. We consider our core tax rate as an indicator of the taxes on our core business. The tax situation and effective tax rate in the specific countries where the excluded or special items occur will determine the impact (positive or negative) to our core tax rate.

In our “Net Sales by Geographic Region,” “Components of Change in Net Sales by Segment Reporting Structure” and in some of the discussions and tables that follow, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when presenting net sales information, which we define as “constant dollar,” or “organic.” Changes in net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency translation are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. As a worldwide business, it is important that we take into account the effects of foreign currency translation when we view our results and plan our strategies. Nonetheless, we cannot control changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Consequently, when our management looks at our financial results to measure the core performance of our business, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation by translating our current period results at prior period foreign currency exchange rates. We also may exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when making incentive compensation determinations. As a result, our management believes that these presentations are useful internally and may be useful to investors.

SEALED AIR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in tables are in millions, except per share data)

(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

We are a global leader in food safety and security, facility hygiene and product protection. We serve an array of end markets including food and beverage processing, food service, retail, health care, hospitality and industrial, commercial and consumer applications. We have widely recognized and inventive brands such as Bubble Wrap® brand cushioning, Cryovac® brand food packaging solutions and as a result of our acquisition of Diversey Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Diversey”) on October 3, 2011, Diversey® brand cleaning and hygiene solutions. We conduct substantially all of our business through three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cryovac, Inc., Sealed Air Corporation (US) and Diversey, Inc.

Throughout this report, when we refer to “Sealed Air,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” we are referring to Sealed Air Corporation and all of our subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.

We conduct substantially allDuring the fourth quarter of 2012, we began operating under new business divisions for our segment reporting structure. The new segment reporting structure consists of three global business divisions. In the third quarter of 2013, we renamed our global business divisions under our segment reporting structure. There was no impact to the reportable segment results. The following are the changes to the names of our three global business through three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cryovac, Inc., Sealed Air Corporation (US)divisions:

Food Care, which was previously named Food & Beverage;

Diversey Care, which was previously named Institutional & Laundry; and Diversey, Inc. We historically have conducted our operations through the following four business segments: Food Packaging, Food Solutions,

Product Care, which was previously named Protective Packaging, Diversey and an “Other” category. Packaging.

See Note 5, “Segments.4, “Segments, for further details of our segment structure.

Basis of Presentation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and our subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation. In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 20122013 and our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20122013 and 20112012 have been made. The results set forth in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20122013 and in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 20122013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. All amounts are in millions, except per share amounts, and approximate due to rounding. Some prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications, individually and in the aggregate, had no impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The condensedDuring the first quarter of 2013, we identified a misclassification in our December 31, 2012 consolidated financial statements and informationbalance sheet included in this Quarterlyour 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) include the financial results of Diversey for the period beginning January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012 and as of10-K. This misclassification, which has been corrected on our December 31, 2011. The financial results2012 condensed consolidated balance sheet included in this Form 10-Q, relateddecreased our non-current deferred tax assets and non-current deferred tax liabilities by $105.5 million, decreasing our non-current deferred tax assets from $255.8 million to the acquisition method accounting for the Diversey transaction have been finalized. See Note 4, “Acquisition$150.3 million and decreasing our non-current deferred tax liabilities from $472.5 million to $367.0 million. This misclassification had no impact on our net deferred tax asset balance as of Diversey Holdings, Inc.,” for further information about the acquisition.

During the period between when we reported our quarterly earnings on November 2,December 31, 2012 and the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q on November 9, 2012, we revisedit did not impact our estimate of impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets related to our Diversey segment from $1,223.5 million ($1,194.6 million, net of taxes) to $1,334.3 million ($1,261.5 million, net of taxes) primarily due to an increase in the estimated impairment related to the Diversey trademark. See Note 8, “Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets,” for further details of this impairment charge.

On October 30, 2012, we signed a definitive agreement to sell our Diversey operations in Japan. As a result, the operating results for Diversey Japan were reclassified to net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and the assets and liabilitiesor cash flows. Accordingly, we do not consider this correction to be material to our consolidated financial condition or results of the Diversey Japan operations were reclassified to assets and liabilities held for sale as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. See Note 3, “Divestiture”.operations.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. As permitted under those rules, annual footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

We are responsible for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this report. As these are condensed financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and with the information contained in other publicly-available filings with the SEC.

    During the three months ended March 31,

In November 2012, we identified a misclassification in our December 31, 2011 consolidated balance sheet included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This misclassification, which has been corrected on our December 31, 2011 consolidated balance sheet included in this Form 10-Q, decreased our current deferred tax assets and non-current deferred tax liabilities by $65 million, decreasing our current deferred tax assets from $230 million to $165 million and decreasing our non-current deferred tax liabilities from $532 million to $467 million. These amounts have not been adjusted to reflectcompleted the divesturesale of Diversey Japan. This misclassification had no impactG.K. (“Diversey Japan”) (an indirect subsidiary of Sealed Air). The operating results for Diversey Japan were reclassified to discontinued operations, net of tax, on our net deferred tax liability balance at December 31, 2011 and it did not impact ourthe consolidated statements of operations orfor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Prior year disclosures in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Accordingly, we do not consider this correctionflows and the notes to be material to ourcondensed consolidated financial condition or results of operations.statements have been revised accordingly.

(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Unless necessary to clarify a point to readers, we will refrain from citing specific topic and section references when addressing new or pending accounting standard changes or discussing application of U.S. GAAP in this Form 10-Q.

Adopted in 20122013

In May 2011,October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of fair value measurement, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. On January 1, 2012, we adopted these amendments on a prospective basis and there was no impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income that became effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. This standard eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on testing goodwill for impairment that became effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. The revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Pending Adoption

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvement, which makes certain technical corrections (i.e., relatively minor corrections and clarifications) and “conforming fair value amendments”. The amendments affect various codification topics and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of those topics. This standard becomes effective for us upon issuance, except for amendments that are subject to transition guidance, which will bewas effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We are currently evaluating the impactThe adoption of this standard did not have any material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.condition or results of operations.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This standard update, which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment, provides companies with the option to first perform a qualitative assessment before performing the two-step quantitative impairment test. If the company determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not to exceed its carrying amount, then the company would not need to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. This standard does not revise the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment. This standard becomeswas effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption allowed. We do not expect theThe adoption of this standard willdid not have aany material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which creates new disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity’s rights of offset and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods therein, with retrospective application required. The new disclosures are designed to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The adoption of this standard did not have any material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations as they are disclosure requirements only.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, a company is required to present either on the statement of operations or in the notes significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, prospectively. We have included footnote disclosures for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013. See Note 11, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities and Note 15, “Stockholders’ Equity” for further details. The adoption of this standard did not have any material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations as they are currently evaluatingdisclosure requirements only.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. This standard update permits companies to use the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to the U.S. government (UST) and London Interbank Offered Rate. This amendment also removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. This amendment was effective on a prospective basis for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. There was no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption of this standard update.

Pending in 2013

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This standard update requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the following: (a) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (b) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This standard becomes effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. This standard update is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements that existed at the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This standard update requires an entity to release any cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. This standard update becomes effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. The impact of ASU 2011-11this standard update on our condensedconsolidated financial statements will be based on any future activity that qualifies within this guidance.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This standard update provides explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This standard update becomes effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendment should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Early adoptions and retrospective application are permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

(4) Acquisition of Diversey Holdings, Inc.Segments

DescriptionDuring the fourth quarter of Transaction

On October 3, 2011,2012, we completedbegan to operate under three new business divisions for our segment reporting structure. This new structure replaced our legacy seven business unit structure. We also refer to our new segment reporting structure as “divisions”. The changes to our segment reporting structure did not have any impact on the acquisitionhistorical consolidated results of 100%operations of the outstanding stock of Diversey. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, we paid in aggregate $2.1 billion in cash consideration and an aggregate of approximately 31.7 million shares of Sealed Air common stock to the shareholders of Diversey. We financed the payment of the cash consideration and related fees and expenses through (a) borrowings under our new Credit Facility, (b) proceeds from our issuance of the Notes and (c) cash on hand. In connection with the acquisition, we also used our new borrowings and cash on hand to retire $1.6 billion of existing indebtedness of Diversey. The new Credit Facility and Notes are described in Note 11, “Debt and Credit Facilities.”

We acquired Diversey to position us to capture growth opportunities by developing end-to-end service-based solutions for the food processing and food service industries, to leverage combined research and development investments to develop broader growth initiatives in the food processing and food service industries and to improve access to under-developed markets and increase access to developing regions.

Allocation of Goodwill to Reportable Segments

Our management views goodwill and identifiable intangible assets as a corporate asset, so we do not allocate our goodwill balancetheir balances to the reportable segments. However, we are required to allocate goodwilltheir balances to each reporting unit to perform our annual impairment review of goodwill, which we do during the fourth quarter of the year.goodwill. See Note 8,7, “Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets,” for the allocation of goodwill and the changes in goodwill balances in the nine months ended September 30, 20122013 by our reporting unit structure.

New Segment Structure

In November 2011, we announced our plans to establish new business units for our segment reporting structure. The new segment reporting structure will consist of three global business units: (1) Food & Beverage, (2) Institutional & Laundry and (3) Protective Packaging. There will also be an “Other” category, which will include our legacy Medical Applications business and New Ventures. This new structure is being implemented for the fourth quarter of 2012 and will replace our existing seven business unit structure and Diversey’s legacy four region-based structure.

(1)Represents the purchase accounting adjustments related to the Diversey acquisition primarily reflecting changes in estimates during the measurement period related to certain legal contingencies that existed as of the acquisition date of October 3, 2011. These adjustments are not considered material to the carrying amount of goodwill or the other offsetting balance sheet line items and these adjustments had no impact to our condensed consolidated statement of operations in 2012. Therefore, we did not revise our previously reported consolidated financial statements for these adjustments.

We review goodwill for impairment on a reporting unit basis annually during the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. In the first step,As of September 30, 2013, we compare the fair value of each of our reporting units to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill isdid not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, we must perform the second step of the impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss. In the second step, the reporting unit’s fair value is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, includingidentify any unrecognized intangible assets,changes in a hypothetical analysiscircumstances that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss.

The reporting units for the legacy Sealed Air business are consistent with the units identified in Note 7 of our 2011 Annual Report. The reporting units for the Diversey segment were defined by the regional geographic businesses previously reported by Diversey before our acquisition of Diversey on October 3, 2011.

During the third quarter of 2012, we determined that sufficient indicators of potential impairment existed to require an interim goodwill impairment analysis for the North America, Europe and Latin America reporting units of our Diversey segment. These indicators included the recent business performance of those reporting units, combined with the long-term market conditions and business trends within those regions.

We estimated the fair value of these three reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived from the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management’s estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used is based on a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the characteristics of the business and the projected cash flows. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit.

Due to the complexity and the effort required to estimate the fair value of the reporting units in step one of the impairment test and to estimate the fair value of all assets and liabilities of the reporting units in the second step of the test, the fair value estimates were derived based on preliminary assumptions and analyses that are subject to change. Based on our preliminary analyses, the implied fair value of goodwill was substantially lower thanwould indicate the carrying value of goodwill for the three reporting units of the Diversey segment. As a result, we recorded our best estimate of $1.1 billion for the goodwill impairment charge in the three months ended September 30, 2012, which is included in impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in theCondensed consolidated statements of operations. Any adjustments to the estimated impairment loss following the completion of the measurement of the impairment willmay not be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012.

recoverable.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, we will perform our annual goodwill impairment review for all of our reporting units as of October 1, 2012. If there are changes in our stock price, or significant changes in the business climate or operating results of our reporting units, we may incur additional goodwill impairment charges.

(9)(8) Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

U.S. Accounts Receivables Securitization Program

We and a group of our U.S. subsidiaries maintain an accounts receivable securitization program with two banks and issuers of commercial paper administered by these banks. As of September 30, 2012,2013, the maximum purchase limit for receivable interests was $125 million, subject to the availability limits described below.

The program, originally scheduled to mature in December 2012, was renewed in September 2012, and now matures in September 2013. The amounts available from time to time under thethis program may be less than $125 million due to a number of factors, including but not limited to our credit ratings, trade receivable balances, the creditworthiness of our customers and our receivables collection experience. TheDuring the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the level of eligible assets available under the program was lower than $125 million primarily due to our current credit ratings. As a result, the amount available to us under the program was $118$104 million at September 30, 2012.2013. Although we do not believe that these restrictive provisionsrestrictions under this program presently materially restrict our operations, if an additional event occurs that triggers one of these restrictive provisions, we could experience a further decline in the amounts available to us under the program or termination of the program.

This program expires annually in September and is renewable. In September 2013, before the expiration of the program, we extended the expiration date of the program to September 2014.

European Accounts Receivables Securitization Program

In February 2013, we entered into a European accounts receivable securitization program and purchase agreement with a special purpose vehicle, or SPV, two banks and a group of our European subsidiaries and in the second quarter of 2013, we added two additional subsidiaries into the program. The maximum purchase limit for receivable interests was €95 million, ($128 million equivalent at September 30, 2013) subject to availability limits, and the program is scheduled to expire in February 2014. The terms and provisions of this program are similar to our U.S. program discussed above. As of September 30, 20122013, the amount available under this program was €71 million ($96 million equivalent as of September 30, 2013).

The European program is structured to be a securitization of certain trade receivables that are originated by certain of our European subsidiaries. We do not have an equity interest in the SPV. However, since we are considered the primary beneficiary of the SPV, it meets the criteria to be classified as a variable interest entity and is included in our consolidated financial statements. Any activity between the participating subsidiaries and the SPV is eliminated in consolidation. Loans from the banks to the SPV are classified as short-term borrowings in our financial statements.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2011,2012, we had no amounts outstanding under thiseither the U.S. or European program, and we did not utilize this programthese programs during 2012.

2013. Under limited circumstances, the banks and the issuers of commercial paper can end purchases of receivables interests before the above expiration dates. A failure to comply with debt leverage or various other ratios related to our receivables collection experience could result in termination of the receivables program.programs. We were in compliance with these ratios at September 30, 20122013 and December 31, 2011.2012, as applicable.

(10)(9) Restructuring Activities

2013 Earnings Quality Improvement Program (EQIP)

In May 2013, we announced the commencement of EQIP, which is an initiative to deliver meaningful cost savings and network optimization. The costs associated with this plan consist primarily of (i) a reduction in headcount (expected to be approximately 400-500 employees) and other costs associated with divisional realignment and connected profitability improvement programs, including severance and termination benefits for employees, expected to be approximately $90 million to $95 million, (ii) costs and capital expenditures associated with incremental supply chain network optimization projects, including facility relocation and closures, expected to be approximately $85 million to $95 million, and (iii) other costs associated with the plan, currently estimated to be approximately $5 million to $10 million. As a result, we currently estimate that we will incur total costs of approximately $180 million to $200 million in connection with implementation of this plan, including capital expenditures of approximately $55 million to $70 million. The above amounts include anticipated cash payments of $65 million in 2013. These amounts are preliminary estimates based on the information currently available to management. The plan is expected to be completed by the end of 2015.

The associated costs and related restructuring charges for EQIP in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are included in the table below:

This amount is included in accrued restructuring costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2013. The majority of the remaining accrual of $16 million is expected to be paid in 2014 and 2015 with minimal amounts to be paid out in 2016. This amount is included in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2013.

2011-2014 Integration and Optimization Program (IOP)

In December 2011, we initiated a restructuring program associated with the integration of Diversey’s business following our acquisition of Diversey on October 3, 2011. The program primarily consists of (i) reduction in headcount, (ii) consolidation of facilities, and (iii) supply chain network optimization, and (iv) certain other capital expenditures. This program is expected to be completed by the end of 2014.

This amount is included in other liabilities on theour condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2012.

European Principal Company (“EPC”)

In May 2011, before our acquisition of Diversey, Diversey management approved, subject to successful works council consultations, plans to reorganize its European operations to function under a centralized management and supply chain model. We completed the reorganization on May 3, 2012 and the EPC, based in the Netherlands, is now centrally managing Diversey’s European operations. Diversey’s European subsidiaries are executing sales and distribution locally, and local production companies are acting as toll manufacturers.

In connection with this reorganization, we recognized associated costs of $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which are included in marketing, administrative and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and nominal amounts for restructuring charges for severance and termination benefits.

2013 Activity

In connection with the fundingMarch 2013, we issued $425 million of 5.25% Senior Notes due April 2023 and used substantially all of the cash consideration forproceeds to retire the acquisition and7.875% Senior Notes due June 2017. The aggregate repurchase price was $431 million, which included the repayment of existing indebtedness of Diversey and to provide for ongoing liquidity requirements, on October 3, 2011, we entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility consists of: (a) a multicurrency term loan A facility denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros and Japanese yen, (“Term Loan A Facility”), (b) a multicurrency term loan B facility denominated in U.S. dollars and euros (“Term Loan B Facility”) and (c) a $700 million revolving credit facility available in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros and Australian dollars (“Revolving Credit Facility”). Our obligations under the Credit Facility have been guaranteed by certain of Sealed Air’s subsidiaries and secured by pledges of certain assets and the capital stock of certain of our subsidiaries. In connection with entering into the Credit Facility, we terminated our former global credit facility and European credit facility.

The U.S. dollar denominated tranche of the Term Loan B Facility was sold to investors at 98% of its principal amount of $400 million, a 6% premium of $23 million and the euro-denominated trancheaccrued interest of the Term Loan B Facility was sold to investors at 97% of its principal amount.$8 million. As a result, we recorded $28recognized a net pre-tax loss of $32 million, of original issuance discounts, which are included in the carrying amountpremium mentioned above, the acceleration of the Term Loan B Facility. We also recorded $48 million of lender fees related tounamortized debt issuance costs associated with the transactions mentioned above. These fees are also included in the carrying amountrepurchase of the respective7.875% senior notes and certain fees. The loss on debt instruments. In addition, we recorded $51 million of non-lender fees related to the transactions mentioned above. These fees areredemption is included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The amortization expense of the original issuance discount and lender and non-lender fees are calculated using the effective interest rate method over the lives of the respective debt instruments. Total amortization expense related to the debt instruments above was $6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $17 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These amounts are included in interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Covenants

Each issue of our outstanding senior notes imposes limitations on our operations and those of specified subsidiaries. The Credit FacilityAdditionally, the senior secured credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on our indebtedness, liens, investments, restricted payments, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets, transactions with affiliates, amendment of documents and sale leasebacks, and a covenant specifying a maximum permitted ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility)credit facility). We were in compliance with the above financial covenants and limitations at September 30, 2012.2013.

(12)(11) Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We report all derivative instruments on our balance sheet at fair value and establish criteria for designation and effectiveness of transactions entered into for hedging purposes.

As a large global organization, we face exposure to market risks, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we enter into various derivative instruments from time to time under our risk management policies. We designate derivative instruments as hedges on a transaction basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments offset in part or in whole corresponding changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. We assess the initial and ongoing effectiveness of our hedging relationships in accordance with our policy. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Our practice is to terminate derivative transactions if the underlying asset or liability matures or is sold or terminated, or if we determine that the underlying forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

The primary purposes of our cash flow hedging activities are to manage the potential changes in value associated with the amounts receivable or payable on equipment and raw material purchases that are denominated in foreign currencies in order to minimize the impact of the changes in foreign currencies. We record gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that these hedges are effective and until we recognize the underlying transactions in net earnings, at which time we recognize these gains and losses in other expense, net, on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Net unrealized after tax gains (losses) related to these contracts that were included in other comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and any amounts reclassified to the consolidated statements of operations were not material. The unrealized amounts in other comprehensive income (loss) will fluctuate based on changes in the fair value of open contracts during each reporting period.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

Our subsidiaries have foreign currency exchange exposure from buying and selling in currencies other than their functional currencies. The primary purposes of our foreign currency hedging activities are to manage the potential changes in value associated with the amounts receivable or payable on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and to minimize the impact of the changes in foreign currencies related to foreign currency denominated interest-bearing intercompany loans and receivables and payables. The changes in fair value of these derivative contracts are recognized in other expense, net, on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and are largelysubstantially offset by the remeasurement of the underlying foreign currency denominated items indicated above. These contracts predominantly have original maturities of less than 12 months.

The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts, which represents the estimated net balance that would be paid or that would be received by us in the event of their termination, based on the then current foreign currency exchange rates, was a net current asset of $6 million at September 30, 2012 and a net current asset of $15 million at December 31, 2011.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

The primary purposes of our cash flow hedging activities are to manage the potential changes in value associated with the amounts receivable or payable on equipment and raw material purchases that are denominated in foreign currencies in order to minimize the impact of the changes in foreign currencies. We record gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income to the extent that these hedges are effective and until we recognize the underlying transactions in net earnings, at which time we recognize these gains and losses in other expense, net, on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Net unrealized after tax gains (losses) related to these contracts that were included in other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were immaterial. The unrealized amounts in other comprehensive income will fluctuate based on changes in the fair value of open contracts during each reporting period.

Interest Rate Swaps

From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps to manage our mix of fixed and floating interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness.

In the third quarter of 2012, we terminated the swaps linked to the 12% Senior Notes, although the 12% Senior Notes remained outstanding. We received cash of $2 million resulting from the gain on the termination of the swaps, which is being amortized over the remaining life of the 12% Senior Notes.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, we terminated or offset interest rate swaps on our 5.625% Senior Notes and our 12% Senior Notes. As a result, we received cash of $7 million related to these terminations and recognized a reduction of interest expense of $1 million and an increase of $6 million in the carrying amount of our 12% Senior Notes and our 5.625% Senior Notes, which is being amortized over the remaining maturities of these notes and included in interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

At December 31, 2011, we recorded a mark-to-market adjustment to record an increase of $2 million in the carrying amount of our 12% Senior Notes due to changes in interest rates and an offsetting increase to other assets at December 31, 2011 to record the fair value of the remaining outstanding interest rate swaps. There was no ineffective portion of the hedges recognized in earnings during the period.

As a result of our interest rate swap agreements, interest expense was reduced by $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012, $2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and $4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Other Derivative Instruments

We may use other derivative instruments from time to time, such as foreign exchange options to manage exposure to foreign exchange rates and interest rate and currency swaps related to access to international financing transactions. These instruments can potentially limit foreign exchange exposure by swapping borrowings denominated in one currency for borrowings denominated in another currency. At September 30, 20122013 and December 31, 2011,2012, we had no foreign exchange options or interest rate and currency swap agreements outstanding.

See Note 13,12, “Fair Value Measurements and Other Financial Instruments,” for a discussion of the inputs and valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of our outstanding derivative instruments.

(13)(12) Fair Value Measurements and Other Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

In determining fair value of financial instruments, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. We determine fair value of our financial instruments based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

 

 

Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

 

 

Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

 

Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

The following table details the fair value hierarchy of our financial instruments.

Cash Equivalents

Our cash equivalents at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consisted of commercial paper (fair value determined using Level 2 inputs). Our cash equivalents at December 31, 2011 consisted of commercial paper and money market accountstime deposits (fair value determined using Level 2 inputs). Since these are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase, they present negligible risk of changes in fair value due to changes in interest rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Our foreign currency forward contracts are recorded at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets using an income approach valuation technique based on observable market inputs (Level 2).

Observable market inputs used in the calculation of the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts include foreign currency spot and forward rates obtained from an independent third party market data provider. In addition, other pricing data quoted by various banks and foreign currency dealers involving identical or comparable instruments are included.

Our interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheet using an income approach valuation technique based on observable market inputs (Level 2). Observable market inputs used in the calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps include pricing data from counterparties to these swaps, and a comparison is made to other market data including U.S. Treasury yields and swap spreads involving identical or comparable derivative instruments.

Counterparties to these foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps are rated at least A- by Standard & Poor’s and Baa2Baa1 by Moody’s. Credit ratings on some of our counterparties may change during the term of our financial instruments. We closely monitor our counterparties’ credit ratings and if necessary will make appropriate changes to our financial instruments. The fair value generally reflects the estimated amounts that we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date.

Other Financial Instruments

The following financial instruments are recorded at fair value or at amounts that approximate fair value: (1) receivables, net, (2) certain other current assets, (3) accounts payable and (4) other current liabilities. The carrying amounts reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets for the above financial instruments closely approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

Other liabilities that are recorded at carrying value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets include our senior notes. We utilize a market approach to calculate the fair value of our senior notes. Due to their limited investor base and the face value of some of our senior notes, they may not be actively traded on the date we calculate their fair value. Therefore, we may utilize prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar securities, reflecting U.S. Treasury yields to calculate the yield to maturity and the price on some of our senior notes. These inputs are provided by an independent third party and are considered to be Level 2 inputs.

We derive our fair value estimates of our various other debt instruments by evaluating the nature and terms of each instrument, considering prevailing economic and market conditions, and examining the cost of similar debt offered at the balance sheet date. We also incorporated our credit default swap rates and currency specific swap rates in the valuation of each debt instrument, as applicable.

These estimates are subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and therefore we cannot determine them with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect our estimates.

(14)(13) Income Taxes

Effective Income Tax Rate and Income Tax Provision

Our effective income rate from continuing operations was 24.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and was 19.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our effective income tax rate for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 benefited from a favorable earnings mix, with earnings in jurisdictions with low tax rates and losses in jurisdictions, including the U.S. with high tax rates. The favorable factors were partially offset by losses and restructuring charges in jurisdictions where we did not have any tax benefit due to the applicable tax rate or valuation allowances. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 benefited from a retroactive reinstatement of certain tax provisions that were recorded as discrete items during the three months ended March 31, 2013. On January 2, 2013, the President signed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, retroactively reinstating and extending the research and development tax credit and certain foreign tax provisions from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013.

We incurred losses from continuing operations during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. Our loss before income taxes from continuing operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 was reduced by an income tax benefit of $48 million and $55 million, respectively (an effective income tax benefit rate of 4% in each period). The tax benefit for the three month and nine month periods was 4% because our net loss resulted from an impairment charge, substantially all of which related to non-deductible goodwill, with no corresponding tax benefit. Our tax provision for both the three month and nine month periods benefitted from earnings in jurisdictions with low tax rates and losses in jurisdictions, such as the U.S., with high tax rates, as well as favorable settlements of certain tax disputes totaling $2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $12 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The favorable factors were partially offset by losses in jurisdictions where we did not have any tax benefit due to the applicable tax rate or valuation allowances. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2012, we increased our valuation allowances by a total of $36 million to provide for certain foreign tax credits and net operating losses that we currently believe are not likely to be realized. This increase in our valuation allowance was offset by a reduction in our unrecognized tax benefits resulting in no material change to our tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Our effective income tax rate was 26% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 27% forUnrecognized Tax Benefits

We made payments to foreign jurisdictions of approximately $14 million (including $2 million of interest) during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. For both the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, our effective income tax rate was lower than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to our lower net effective income tax rate on foreign earnings, our domestic manufacturing deduction and certain U.S. tax credits, partially offset by state income taxes and non-deductible acquisition costs related to our acquisition of Diversey.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we2013, which reduced our unrecognized tax benefits by $38 million, primarily with respect to the Settlement agreement. The reduction in our unrecognized tax benefit is a result of a re-assessment of our unrecognized tax benefit position primarily due to our tax situation in the United States following the Diversey acquisition. Substantially all of this reduction was offset by required increases in our valuation allowances so that the net change didbenefits. We have not have a material effect on our operating results or financial position. We did not changechanged our policy with regard to the reporting of penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits.

Cryovac Transaction Commitments and Contingencies

Settlement Agreement and Related Costs

On November 27, 2002, we reached an agreement in principle with the Committees appointed to represent asbestos claimants in the bankruptcy case of W. R. Grace & Co., known as Grace, to resolve all current and future asbestos-related claims made against the Company and our affiliates in connection with the Cryovac transaction described below (as memorialized by the parties in the Settlement agreement and as approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the “Settlement agreement”). The Settlement agreement will also resolve the fraudulent transfer claims and successor liability claims, as well as indemnification claims by Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. and affiliated companies, in connection with the Cryovac transaction. On December 3, 2002, our Board of Directors approved the agreement in principle. We received notice that both of the Committees had approved the agreement in principle as of December 5, 2002. The parties subsequently signed the definitive Settlement agreement as of November 10, 2003 consistent with the terms of the agreement in principle. For a description of the Cryovac transaction, asbestos-related claims and the parties involved, see “Cryovac Transaction,”, “Discussion of Cryovac Transaction Commitments and Contingencies,” “Fresenius Claims,” “Canadian Claims” and “Additional Matters Related to the Cryovac Transaction” below.

We recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $850 million as a result of the Settlement agreement on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002. The charge consisted of the following items:

 

a charge of $513 million covering a cash payment that we will be required to make under the Settlement agreement upon the effectiveness of an appropriate plan of reorganization in the Grace bankruptcy. Because we cannot predict when a plan of reorganization may become effective, we recorded this liability as a current liability on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002. Under the terms of the Settlement agreement, this amount accrues interest at a 5.5% annual rate from December 21, 2002 to the date of payment. We have recorded this interest in interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and in Settlement agreement and related accrued interest on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The accrued interest, which is compounded annually, was $352 million at September 30, 2012 and $319 million at December 31, 2011.

from December 21, 2002 to the date of payment. We have recorded this interest in interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and in Settlement agreement and related accrued interest on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The accrued interest, which is compounded annually, was $400 million at September 30, 2013 and $364 million at December 31, 2012.

 

a non-cash charge of $322 million representing the fair market value at the date we recorded the charge of nine million shares of Sealed Air common stock that we expect to issue under the Settlement agreement upon the effectiveness of an appropriate plan of reorganization in the Grace bankruptcy, which was adjusted to eighteen million shares due to our two-for-one stock split in March 2007. These shares are subject to customary anti-dilution provisions that adjust for the effects of stock splits, stock dividends and other events affecting our common stock. The fair market value of our common stock was $35.72 per pre-split share ($17.86 post-split) as of the close of business on December 5, 2002. We recorded this amount on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002 as follows: $0.9 million representing the aggregate par value of these shares of common stock reserved for issuance related to the Settlement agreement, and the remaining $321 million, representing the excess of the aggregate fair market value over the aggregate par value of these common shares, in additional paid-in capital.

 

$16 million of legal and related fees as of December 31, 2002.

Cryovac Transaction

On June 30, 1998, we completed a multi-step transaction that brought the Cryovac packaging business and the former Sealed Air Corporation’s business under the common ownership of the Company. These businesses operate as subsidiaries of the Company, and the Company acts as a holding company. As part of that transaction, the parties separated the Cryovac packaging business, which previously had been held by various direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, from the remaining businesses previously held by the Company. The parties then arranged for the contribution of these remaining businesses to a company now known as W. R. Grace & Co., and the Company distributed the Grace shares to the Company’s stockholders. As a result, W. R. Grace & Co. became a separate publicly owned company. The Company recapitalized its outstanding shares of common stock into a new common stock and a new convertible preferred stock. A subsidiary of the Company then merged into the former Sealed Air Corporation, which became a subsidiary of the Company and changed its name to Sealed Air Corporation (US).

Discussion of Cryovac Transaction Commitments and Contingencies

In connection with the Cryovac transaction, Grace and its subsidiaries retained all liabilities arising out of their operations before the Cryovac transaction, whether accruing or occurring before or after the Cryovac transaction, other than liabilities arising from or relating to Cryovac’s operations. Among the liabilities retained by Grace are liabilities relating to asbestos-containing products previously manufactured or sold by Grace’s subsidiaries prior to the Cryovac transaction, including its primary U.S. operating subsidiary, W. R. Grace & Co. — Conn., which has operated for decades and has been a subsidiary of Grace since the Cryovac transaction. The Cryovac transaction agreements provided that, should any claimant seek to hold the Company or any of its subsidiaries responsible for liabilities retained by Grace or its subsidiaries, including the asbestos-related liabilities, Grace and its subsidiaries would indemnify and defend us.

Since the beginning of 2000, we have been served with a number of lawsuits alleging that, as a result of the Cryovac transaction, we are responsible for alleged asbestos liabilities of Grace and its subsidiaries, some of which were also named as co-defendants in some of these actions. Among these lawsuits are several purported class actions and a number of personal injury lawsuits. Some plaintiffs seek damages for personal injury or wrongful death, while others seek medical monitoring, environmental remediation or remedies related to an attic insulation product. Neither the former Sealed Air Corporation nor Cryovac, Inc. ever produced or sold any of the asbestos-containing materials that are the subjects of these cases. None of these cases has reached resolution through judgment, settlement or otherwise. As discussed below, Grace’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding has stayed all of these cases.

While the allegations in these actions directed to us vary, these actions all appear to allege that the transfer of the Cryovac business as part of the Cryovac transaction was a fraudulent transfer or gave rise to successor liability. Under a theory of successor liability, plaintiffs with claims against Grace and its subsidiaries may attempt to hold us liable for liabilities that arose with respect to activities conducted prior to the Cryovac transaction by W. R. Grace & Co. — Conn. or other Grace subsidiaries. A transfer would be a fraudulent transfer if the transferor received less than reasonably equivalent value and the transferor was insolvent or was rendered insolvent by the transfer, was engaged or was about to engage in a business for which its assets constitute unreasonably small capital, or intended to incur or believed that it would incur debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature. A transfer may also be fraudulent if it was made with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud creditors. If a court found any transfers in connection with the Cryovac transaction to be fraudulent transfers, we could be required to return the property or its value to the transferor or could be required to fund liabilities of Grace or its subsidiaries for the benefit of their creditors, including asbestos claimants. We have reached an agreement in principle and subsequently signed the Settlement agreement, described below, that is expected to resolve all these claims.

In the Joint Proxy Statement furnished to their respective stockholders in connection with the Cryovac transaction, both parties to the transaction stated that it was their belief that Grace and its subsidiaries were adequately capitalized and would be adequately capitalized after the Cryovac transaction and that none of the transfers contemplated to occur in the Cryovac transaction would be a fraudulent transfer. They also stated their belief that the Cryovac transaction complied with other relevant laws. However, if a court applying the relevant legal standards had reached conclusions adverse to us, these determinations could have had a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

On April 2, 2001, Grace and a number of its subsidiaries filed petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Grace stated that the filing was made in response to a sharply increasing number of asbestos claims since 1999.

In connection with its Chapter 11 filing, Grace filed an application with the Bankruptcy Court seeking to stay, among others, all actions brought against the Company and specified subsidiaries related to alleged asbestos liabilities of Grace and its subsidiaries or alleging fraudulent transfer claims. The court issued an order dated May 3, 2001, which was modified on January 22, 2002, under which the court stayed all the filed or pending asbestos actions against us and, upon filing and service on us, all future asbestos actions. No further proceedings involving us can occur in the actions that have been stayed except upon further order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Committees appointed to represent asbestos claimants in Grace’s bankruptcy case received the court’s permission to pursue fraudulent transfer and other claims against the Company and its subsidiary Cryovac, Inc., and against Fresenius, as discussed below. The claims against Fresenius are based upon a 1996 transaction between Fresenius and W. R. Grace & Co. — Conn. Fresenius is not affiliated with us. In March 2002, the court ordered that the issues of the solvency of Grace following the Cryovac transaction and whether Grace received reasonably equivalent value in the Cryovac transaction would be tried on behalf of all of Grace’s creditors. This proceeding was brought in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “District Court”) (Adv. No. 02-02210).

In June 2002, the court permitted the U.S. government to intervene as a plaintiff in the fraudulent transfer proceeding, so that the U.S. government could pursue allegations that environmental remediation expenses were underestimated or omitted in the solvency analyses of Grace conducted at the time of the Cryovac transaction. The court also permitted Grace, which asserted that the Cryovac transaction was not a fraudulent transfer, to intervene in the proceeding. In July 2002, the court issued an interim ruling on the legal standards to be applied in the trial, holding, among other things, that, subject to specified limitations, post-1998 claims should be considered in the solvency analysis of Grace. We believe that only claims and liabilities that were known, or reasonably should have been known, at the time of the 1998 Cryovac transaction should be considered under the applicable standard.

With the fraudulent transfer trial set to commence on December 9, 2002, on November 27, 2002, we reached an agreement in principle with the Committees prosecuting the claims against the Company and Cryovac, Inc., to resolve all current and future asbestos-related claims arising from the Cryovac transaction. On the same day, the court entered an order confirming that the parties had reached an amicable resolution of the disputes among the parties and that counsel for us and the Committees had agreed and bound the parties to the terms of the agreement in principle. As discussed above, the agreement in principle called for payment of nine million shares of our common stock and $513 million in cash, plus interest on the cash payment at a 5.5% annual rate starting on December 21, 2002 and ending on the effective date of an appropriate plan of reorganization in the Grace bankruptcy, when we are required to make the payment. These shares are subject to customary anti-dilution provisions that adjust for the effects of stock splits, stock dividends and other events affecting our common stock, and as a result, the number of shares of our common stock that we will issue increased to eighteen million shares upon the two-for-one stock split in March 2007. On December 3, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the agreement in principle. We received notice that both of the Committees had approved the agreement in principle as of December 5, 2002. The parties subsequently signed the definitive Settlement agreement as of November 10, 2003 consistent with the terms of the agreement in principle. On November 26, 2003, the parties jointly presented the definitive Settlement agreement to the District Court for approval. On Grace’s motion to the District Court, that court transferred the motion to approve the Settlement agreement to the Bankruptcy Court for disposition.

On June 27, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court signed an order approving the Settlement agreement. Although Grace is not a party to the Settlement agreement, under the terms of the order, Grace is directed to comply with the Settlement agreement subject to limited exceptions. The order also provides that the Court will retain jurisdiction over any dispute involving the interpretation or enforcement of the terms and provisions of the Settlement agreement. We expect that the Settlement agreement will become effective upon Grace’s emergence from bankruptcy pursuant to a plan of reorganization that is consistent with the terms of the Settlement agreement.

On June 8, 2004, we filed a motion with the District Court, where the fraudulent transfer trial was pending, requesting that the court vacate the July 2002 interim ruling on the legal standards to be applied relating to the fraudulent transfer claims against us. We were not challenging the Settlement agreement. The motion was filed as a protective measure in the event that the Settlement agreement is ultimately not approved or implemented; however, we still expect that the Settlement agreement will become effective upon Grace’s emergence from bankruptcy with a plan of reorganization that is consistent with the terms of the Settlement agreement.

- 21 -


On July 11, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order closing the proceeding brought in 2002 by the committees appointed to represent asbestos claimants in the Grace bankruptcy proceeding against us without prejudice to our right to reopen the matter and renew in our sole discretion our motion to vacate the July 2002 interim ruling on the legal standards to be applied relating to the

fraudulent transfer claims against us.

As a condition to our obligation to make the payments required by the Settlement agreement, any final plan of reorganization must be consistent with the terms of the Settlement agreement, including provisions for the trusts and releases referred to below and for an injunction barring the prosecution of any asbestos-related claims against us. The Settlement agreement provides that, upon the effective date of the final plan of reorganization and payment of the shares and cash, all present and future asbestos-related claims against us that arise from alleged asbestos liabilities of Grace and its affiliates (including former affiliates that became our affiliates through the Cryovac transaction) will be channeled to and become the responsibility of one or more trusts to be established under Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code as part of a final plan of reorganization in the Grace bankruptcy. The Settlement agreement will also resolve all fraudulent transfer claims against us arising from the Cryovac transaction as well as the Fresenius claims described below. The Settlement agreement provides that we will receive releases of all those claims upon payment. Under the agreement, we cannot seek indemnity from Grace for our payments required by the Settlement agreement. The order approving the Settlement agreement also provides that the stay of proceedings involving us described above will continue through the effective date of the final plan of reorganization, after which, upon implementation of the Settlement agreement, we will be released from the liabilities asserted in those proceedings and their continued prosecution against us will be enjoined.

In January 2005, Grace filed a proposed plan of reorganization (the “Grace Plan”) with the Bankruptcy Court. There were a number of objections filed. The Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants (the “ACC”) and the Asbestos PI Future Claimants’ Representative (the “PI FCR”) filed their proposed plan of reorganization (the “Claimants’ Plan”) with the Bankruptcy Court in November 2007. On April 7, 2008, Grace issued a press release announcing that Grace, the ACC, the PI FCR, and the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders (the “Equity Committee”) had reached an agreement in principle to settle all present and future asbestos-related personal injury claims against Grace (the “PI Settlement”) and disclosed a term sheet outlining certain terms of the PI Settlement and for a contemplated plan of reorganization that would incorporate the PI Settlement (as filed and amended from time to time, the “PI Settlement Plan”).

On September 19, 2008, Grace, the ACC, the PI FCR, and the Equity Committee filed, as co-proponents, the PI Settlement Plan and several exhibits and associated documents, including a disclosure statement (as filed and amended from time to time, the “PI Settlement Disclosure Statement”), with the Bankruptcy Court. Amended versions of the PI Settlement Plan and the PI Settlement Disclosure Statement have been filed with the Bankruptcy Court from time to time. The PI Settlement Plan, which supersedes each of the Grace Plan and the Claimants’ Plan, remains pending and has not become effective. The committee representing general unsecured creditors and the Official Committee of Asbestos Property Damage Claimants are not co-proponents of the PI Settlement Plan. As filed, the PI Settlement Plan would provide for the establishment of two asbestos trusts under Section 524(g) of the United States Bankruptcy Code to which present and future asbestos-related claims would be channeled. The PI Settlement Plan also contemplates that the terms of the Settlement agreement will be incorporated into the PI Settlement Plan and that we will pay the amount contemplated by the Settlement agreement. On March 9, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the PI Settlement Disclosure Statement (the “DS Order”) as containing adequate information and authorizing Grace to solicit votes to accept or reject the PI Settlement Plan, all as more fully described in the order. The DS Order did not constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s confirmation of the PI Settlement Plan, approval of the merits of the PI Settlement Plan, or endorsement of the PI Settlement Plan. In connection with the plan voting process in the Grace bankruptcy case, we voted in favor of the PI Settlement Plan that was before the Bankruptcy Court. We will continue to review any amendments to the PI Settlement Plan on an ongoing basis to verify compliance with the Settlement agreement.

On June 8, 2009, a senior manager with the voting agent appointed in the Grace bankruptcy case filed a declaration with the Bankruptcy Court certifying the voting results with respect to the PI Settlement Plan. This declaration was amended on August 5, 2009 (as amended, the “Voting Declaration”). According to the Voting Declaration, with respect to each class of claims designated as impaired by Grace, the PI Settlement Plan was approved by holders of at least two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number (or for classes voting for purposes of Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, at least 75% in number) of voted claims. The Voting Declaration also discusses the voting results with respect to holders of general unsecured claims (“GUCs”) against Grace, whose votes were provisionally solicited and counted subject to a determination by the Bankruptcy Court of whether GUCs are impaired (and, thus, entitled to vote) or, as Grace contends, unimpaired (and, thus, not entitled to vote). According to the Voting Declaration, more than one half of voting holders of GUCs voted to accept the PI Settlement Plan, but the provisional vote did not obtain the requisite two-thirds dollar amount to be deemed an accepting class in the event that GUCs are determined to be impaired. To the extent that GUCs are determined to be an impaired non-accepting class, Grace and the other plan proponents have indicated that they would nevertheless seek confirmation of the PI Settlement Plan under the “cram down” provisions contained in Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

On January 31, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered a memorandum opinion (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Court Opinion”) overruling certain objections to the PI Settlement Plan and finding, among other things, that GUCs are not impaired under the PI Settlement Plan. On the same date, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order regarding confirmation of the PI Settlement Plan (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order”). As entered on January 31, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order contained recommended findings of fact and conclusions of law, and recommended that the District Court approve the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order, and that the District Court confirm the PI Settlement Plan and issue a channeling injunction under

Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Thereafter, on February 15, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order clarifying the Bankruptcy Court Opinion and the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order (the “Clarifying Order”). Among other things, the Clarifying Order provided that any references in the Bankruptcy Court Opinion and the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order to a recommendation that the District Court confirm the PI Settlement Plan were thereby amended to make clear that the PI Settlement Plan was confirmed and that the Bankruptcy Court was requesting that the District Court issue and affirm the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order including the injunction under Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. On March 11, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting in part and denying in part a motion to reconsider the Bankruptcy Court Opinion filed by BNSF Railway Company (the “March 11 Order”). Among other things, the March 11 Order amended the Bankruptcy Court Opinion to clarify certain matters relating to objections to the PI Settlement Plan filed by BNSF.

Various parties appealed or otherwise challenged the Bankruptcy Court Opinion and the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order, including without limitation with respect to issues relating to releases and injunctions contained in the PI Settlement Plan. On June 28 and 29, 2011, the District Court heard oral arguments in connection with appeals of the Bankruptcy Court Opinion and the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order.

On January 30, 2012, the District Court issued a memorandum opinion (the “Original District Court Opinion”) and confirmation order (the “Original District Court Confirmation Order”) overruling all objections to the PI Settlement Plan and confirming the PI Settlement Plan in its entirety (including the issuance of the injunction under Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code). On February 3, 2012, Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC (“Garlock”) filed a motion (the “Garlock Reargument Motion”) with the District Court requesting that the District Court grant reargument, rehearing, or otherwise amend the Original District Court Opinion and the Original District Court Confirmation Order insofar as they overruled Garlock’s objections to the PI Settlement Plan. On February 13, 2012, the Company, Cryovac, and Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. filed a joint motion (the “Sealed Air/Fresenius Motion”) with the District Court. The Sealed Air/Fresenius Motion did not seek to disturb confirmation of the PI Settlement Plan but requested that the District Court amend and clarify certain matters in the Original District Court Opinion and

- 22 -


the Original District Court Confirmation Order. Also on February 13, 2012, Grace and the other proponents of the PI Settlement Plan filed a motion (the “Plan Proponents’ Motion”) with the District Court requesting certain of the same amendments and clarifications sought by the Sealed Air/Fresenius Motion. On February 27, 2012, certain asbestos claimants known as the “Libby Claimants” filed a response to the Sealed Air/Fresenius Motion and the Plan Proponents’ Motion (the “Libby Response”). The Libby Response did not oppose the Sealed Air/Fresenius Motion or the Plan Proponents’ Motion but indicated, among other things, that: (a) the Libby Claimants had reached a settlement in principle of their objections to the PI Settlement Plan but that this settlement had not become effective and (b) the Libby Claimants reserved their rights with respect to the PI Settlement Plan pending the effectiveness of the Libby Claimants’ settlement. On April 20, 2012, as part of a more global settlement, Grace filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking, among other things, approval of settlements with the Libby Claimants and BNSF. The settlements with the Libby Claimants and BNSF were approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court dated June 6, 2012. Thereafter, the appeals of the Libby Claimants and BNSF with respect to the PI Settlement Plan were dismissed by orders of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the “Third Circuit Court of Appeals”) dated September 24, 2012 and October 4, 2012. The District Court held a hearing on May 8, 2012, to consider the Garlock Reargument Motion. On May 29, 2012, Anderson Memorial Hospital (“Anderson Memorial”) filed a motion seeking relief from, and reconsideration of, the Original District Court Opinion and the Original District Court Confirmation Order (the “Anderson Relief Motion”). In the Anderson Relief Motion, Anderson Memorial argued that a May 18, 2012, decision by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in a case calledWright v. Owens-Corning undermined the District Court’s conclusion that (a) the PI Settlement Plan was feasible and (b) the asbestos property damage injunction and trust included in the PI Settlement Plan were appropriate. Objections to the Anderson Relief Motion were filed by Grace and the other proponents of the PI Settlement Plan, and by the representative of future asbestos property damage claimants appointed in the Grace bankruptcy proceedings. On June 11, 2012, the District Court entered a consolidated order (the “Consolidated Order”) granting the Sealed Air/Fresenius Motion, the Plan Proponents’ Motion, and the Garlock Reargument Motion, and providing for amendments to the Original District Court Opinion and the Original District Court Confirmation Order. Although the Consolidated Order granted the Garlock Reargument Motion, it did not constitute the District Court’s agreement with Garlock’s objections to the PI Settlement Plan, which the District Court continued to overrule. Also on June 11, 2012, the District Court entered an amended memorandum opinion (the “Amended District Court Opinion”) and confirmation order (the “Amended District Court Confirmation Order”) overruling all objections to the PI Settlement Plan, reflecting amendments described in the Consolidated Order, and confirming the PI Settlement Plan in its entirety (including the issuance of the injunction under Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code). Thereafter, on July 23, 2012, the District Court issued a memorandum opinion and an order denying the Anderson Relief Motion.

Parties have appealed the Amended District Court Opinion and the Amended District Court Confirmation Order to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.PursuantAppeals and filed briefs in connection with their appeals. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments with respect to ordersthe appeals on June 17, 2013 and took these matters under advisement. By separate opinions and judgments entered on July 24, 2013 and September 4, 2013, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision to overrule objections to the PI Settlement Plan by Garlock, Anderson Memorial, the State of Montana, and Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada (the “Third Circuit Opinions & Judgments”). The Third Circuit Opinions & Judgments relate to the appeals filed by Garlock Sealing, Anderson Memorial, Montana, and the Queen and do not address an appeal filed by certain holders of Grace’s prepetition bank debt

(the “Bank Lender Appeal”). The Bank Lender Appeal remains pending before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. We do not know when the Third Circuit Court of Appeals will rule on the Bank Lender Appeal or whether there will be further proceedings with respect to the Bank Lender Appeal or other appeals to the PI Settlement Plan (either in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals or other courts). Recently, Grace indicated that it could not reasonably expect to emerge from bankruptcy in 2013 given the appeals to the PI Settlement Plan. Grace also indicated that it would expect to emerge from bankruptcy by the end of January 2014 if there were a ruling by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals on September 20, 2012the Bank Lender Appeal and October 25, 2012, parties appealing the Amended District Court Opinion and Confirmation Order are to file their briefs by November 29, 2012, with responsive briefs from Grace and the other proponents of the PI Settlement Plan due to be filed thirty (30) days thereafter, and any reply briefs by the appellants being due fourteen (14) days following service of the briefs filed by Grace and the other plan proponents. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals has not scheduled any hearing for oral argument with respectif there were no further appeals to the appeals and it is uncertain whether any such hearing will be scheduled or, if scheduled, the timing for such a hearing. AlthoughUnited States Supreme Court (the “Supreme Court”). Grace publicly indicated its intent to seek to emerge from bankruptcy before the appeals are fully and finally resolved, it subsequentlyalso indicated that if further appeals were filed, it wasbelieved that its emergence would probably be delayed by 2 to 3 months. We do not able to receivecontrol the necessary consents and waivers to do so,appellate timetable, including from the Company. Grace has further indicated that, with an appeals process beforewhen or how the Third Circuit Court of Appeals its target datewill rule on the Bank Lender Appeal, whether the parties will seek to emerge from bankruptcy isappeal any Third Circuit ruling to the fourth quarterSupreme Court, whether the Supreme Court will take up any of 2013; however, there can be no assurancethese appeals, or how any ruling on appeal might impact the PI Settlement Plan. We also cannot make assurances that thisGrace’s timing for emergence is or will be correct.correct or that the target date for Grace’s emergence has not been or will not be revised.

Consistent with our Settlement agreement, we are prepared to pay the Settlement amount directly to the asbestos trusts to be established under section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code once the conditions of the Settlement agreement are fully satisfied. Among those conditions is that approval of an appropriate Grace bankruptcy plan – containing all releases, injunctions, and protections required by the Settlement agreement – be final and not subject to any appeal. Given the pending appeals that have been filed with respect to the PI Settlement Plan (which include, without limitation, challenges to the injunctions and releases in the PI Settlement Plan), and the possibility of further proceedings with respect to such appeals, the condition that approval of the PI Settlement Plan be final and not subject to any appeal has not been satisfied at this time. The Company has not waived this or any other condition of the Settlement agreement nor can there be any assurance that each of the parties whose consent or waiver is required for Grace to emerge from bankruptcy while the appeals are pending will provide such consent or waiver. Although we are optimistic that, if it were to become effective, the PI Settlement Plan would implement the terms of the Settlement agreement, we can give no assurance that this will be the case notwithstanding the confirmation of the PI Settlement Plan by the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court.Court and the Third Circuit Opinions & Judgments. The terms of the PI Settlement Plan remain subject to amendment. Moreover, the PI Settlement Plan is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions which are more fully set forth in the PI Settlement Plan and include, without limitation, the availability of exit financing and the approval of the PI Settlement Plan becoming final and no longer subject to appeal. As noted, parties have appealed the Amended District Court Confirmation Order to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals or have otherwise challenged the Amended District Court Opinion and the Amended District Court Confirmation Order. Matters relating to the PI Settlement Plan, the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Opinions, and the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Confirmation Orders and the Third Circuit Opinions & Judgments may be subject to further appeal, challenge, and proceedings before the Bankruptcy Court, the District Court, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court, or other courts.elsewhere. Parties have designatedchallenged various issues with respect to be considered in challenging the PI Settlement Plan, the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Opinions, orand the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Confirmation Orders, including, without limitation, issues relating to releases and injunctions contained in the PI Settlement Plan.

While the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court have confirmed the PI Settlement Plan and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals has entered the Third Circuit Opinions & Judgments, we do not know whether or when the Third Circuit Court of Appeals will affirm the Amended District Court Confirmation Order or the Amended District Court Opinion with respect to the Bank Lender Appeal, whether or when the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Opinions or the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Confirmation Orders will become final and no longer subject to appeal, or whether or when a final plan of reorganization (whether the PI Settlement Plan or another plan of reorganization) will become effective. Assuming that a final plan of reorganization (whether the PI Settlement Plan or another plan of reorganization) is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court, and does become effective, we do not know whether the final plan of reorganization will be consistent with the terms of the Settlement agreement or if the other conditions to our obligation to pay the Settlement agreement amount will be met. If these conditions are not satisfied or not waived by us, we will not be obligated to pay the amount contemplated by the Settlement agreement. However, if we do not pay the Settlement agreement amount, we will not be released from the various asbestos related, fraudulent transfer, successor liability, and indemnification claims made against us and all of these claims would remain pending and would have to be resolved through other means, such as through agreement on alternative settlement terms or trials. In that case, we could face liabilities that are significantly different from our obligations under the Settlement agreement. We cannot estimate at this time what those differences or their magnitude may be. In the event these liabilities are materially larger than the current existing obligations, they could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. We will continue to review and monitor the progress of the Grace bankruptcy proceedings (including any appeals and other proceedings relating to the PI Settlement Plan, the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Opinions, and the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Confirmation Orders)Orders, and the Third Circuit Opinions & Judgments), as well as any amendments or changes to the PI Settlement Plan or to Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Opinions and Confirmation Orders, to verify compliance with the Settlement agreement.

Fresenius Claims

In January 2002, we filed a declaratory judgment action against Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc., its parent, Fresenius AG, a German company, and specified affiliates in New York State court asking the court to resolve a contract dispute between the parties. The Fresenius parties contended that we were obligated to indemnify them for liabilities that they might incur as a result of the 1996 Fresenius transaction mentioned above. The Fresenius parties’ contention was based on

- 23 -


their interpretation of the agreements between them and W. R. Grace & Co. — Conn. in connection with the 1996 Fresenius transaction. In February 2002, the Fresenius parties announced that they had accrued a charge of $172 million for these potential liabilities, which included pre-transaction tax liabilities of Grace and the costs of defense of litigation arising from Grace’s Chapter 11 filing. We believe that we were not responsible to indemnify the Fresenius parties under the 1996 agreements and filed the action to proceed to a resolution of the Fresenius parties’ claims. In April 2002, the Fresenius parties filed a motion to dismiss the action and for entry of declaratory relief in its favor. We opposed the motion, and in July 2003, the court denied the motion without prejudice in view of the November 27, 2002 agreement in principle referred to above. As noted above, under the Settlement agreement, we and the Fresenius parties will exchange mutual releases, which will release us from any and all claims related to the 1996 Fresenius transaction.

Canadian Claims

In November 2004, the Company’s Canadian subsidiary Sealed Air (Canada) Co./Cie learned that it had been named a defendant in the case ofThundersky v. The Attorney General of Canada, et al. (File No. CI04-01-39818), pending in the Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench. Grace and W. R. Grace & Co. — Conn. are also named as defendants. The plaintiff brought the claim as a putative class proceeding and seeks recovery for alleged injuries suffered by any Canadian resident, other than in the course of employment, as a result of Grace’s marketing, selling, processing, manufacturing, distributing and/or delivering asbestos or asbestos-containing products in Canada prior to the Cryovac Transaction. A plaintiff filed another proceeding in January 2005 in the Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench naming the Company and specified subsidiaries as defendants. The latter proceeding,Her Majesty the Queen in Right of the Province of Manitoba v. The Attorney General of Canada, et al. (File No. CI05-01-41069), seeks the recovery of the cost of insured health services allegedly provided by the Government of Manitoba to the members of the class of plaintiffs in theThundersky proceeding. In October 2005, we learned that six additional putative class proceedings had been brought in various provincial and federal courts in Canada seeking recovery from the Company and its subsidiaries Cryovac, Inc. and Sealed Air (Canada) Co./Cie, as well as other defendants including W. R. Grace & Co. and W. R. Grace & Co. — Conn., for alleged injuries suffered by any Canadian resident, other than in the course of employment (except with respect to one of these six claims), as a result of Grace’s marketing, selling, manufacturing, processing, distributing and/or delivering asbestos or asbestos-containing products in Canada prior to the Cryovac transaction. Grace and W. R. Grace & Co. — Conn. have agreed to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates in respect of any liability and expense, including legal fees and costs, in these actions.

- 24 -


In April 2001, Grace Canada, Inc. had obtained an order of the Superior Court of Justice, Commercial List, Toronto (the “Canadian Court”), recognizing the Chapter 11 actions in the United States of America involving Grace Canada, Inc.’s U.S. parent corporation and other affiliates of Grace Canada, Inc., and enjoining all new actions and staying all current proceedings against Grace Canada, Inc. related to asbestos under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act. That order has been renewed repeatedly. In November 2005, upon motion by Grace Canada, Inc., the Canadian Court ordered an extension of the injunction and stay to actions involving asbestos against the Company and its Canadian affiliate and the Attorney General of Canada, which had the effect of staying all of the Canadian actions referred to above. The parties finalized a global settlement of these Canadian actions (except for claims against the Canadian government). That settlement, which has subsequently been amended (the “Canadian Settlement”), will be entirely funded by Grace. The Canadian Court issued an Order on December 13, 2009 approving the Canadian Settlement. We do not have any positive obligations under the Canadian Settlement, but we are a beneficiary of the release of claims. The release in favor of the Grace parties (including us) will become operative upon the effective date of a plan of reorganization in Grace’s United States Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. As filed, the PI Settlement Plan contemplates that the claims released under the Canadian Settlement will be subject to injunctions under Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. As indicated above, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order on January 31, 2011 and the Clarifying Order on February 15, 2011 and the District Court entered the Original District Court Confirmation Order on January 30, 2012 and the Amended District Court Confirmation Order on June 11, 2012. The Canadian Court issued an Order on April 8, 2011 recognizing and giving full effect to the Bankruptcy Court’s Confirmation Order in all provinces and territories of Canada in accordance with the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order’s terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the PI Settlement Plan has not become effective, and we can give no assurance that the PI Settlement Plan (or any other plan of reorganization) will become effective. Assuming that a final plan of reorganization (whether the PI Settlement Plan or another plan of reorganization) does become effective, if the final plan of reorganization does not incorporate the terms of the Canadian Settlement or if the Canadian courts refuse to enforce the final plan of reorganization in the Canadian courts, and if in addition Grace is unwilling or unable to defend and indemnify the Company and its subsidiaries in these cases, then we could be required to pay substantial damages, which we cannot estimate at this time and which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Additional Matters Related to the Cryovac Transaction

In view of Grace’s Chapter 11 filing, we may receive additional claims asserting that we are liable for obligations that Grace had agreed to retain in the Cryovac transaction and for which we may be contingently liable. To date, we are not aware of any material claims having been asserted or threatened against us.

Final determinations and accountings under the Cryovac transaction agreements with respect to matters pertaining to the transaction had not been completed at the time of Grace’s Chapter 11 filing in 2001. We have filed claims in the bankruptcy proceeding that reflect the costs and liabilities that we have incurred or may incur that Grace and its affiliates agreed to retain or that are subject to indemnification by Grace and its affiliates under the Cryovac transaction agreements, other than payments to be made under the Settlement agreement. Grace has alleged that we are responsible for specified amounts under the Cryovac transaction agreements. Subject to the terms of the Settlement agreement, amounts for which we may be liable to Grace may be used to offset the liabilities of Grace and its affiliates to us. We intend to seek indemnification by Grace and its affiliates to the extent permissible under law, the Settlement agreement, and the Cryovac transaction agreements. Except to the extent of any potential setoff or similar claim, we expect that our claims will be as an unsecured creditor of Grace. Since portions of our claims against Grace and its affiliates are contingent or unliquidated, we cannot determine the amount of our claims, the extent to which these claims may be reduced by setoff, how much of the claims may be allowed, or the amount of our recovery on these claims, if any, in the bankruptcy proceeding.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to loss contingencies resulting from environmental laws and regulations, and we accrue for anticipated costs associated with investigatory and remediation efforts when an assessment has indicated that a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are not reduced by potential insurance recoveries, if any. We do not believe that it is reasonably possible that our liability in excess of the amounts that we have accrued for environmental matters will be material to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Environmental liabilities are reassessed whenever circumstances become better defined or remediation efforts and their costs can be better estimated.

We evaluate these liabilities periodically based on available information, including the progress of remedial investigations at each site, the current status of discussions with regulatory authorities regarding the methods and extent of remediation and the apportionment of costs among potentially responsible parties. As some of these issues are decided (the outcomes of which are subject to uncertainties) or new sites are assessed and costs can be reasonably estimated, we adjust the recorded accruals, as necessary. We believe that these exposures are not material to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. We believe that we have adequately reserved for all probable and estimable environmental exposures.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

We are a party to many contracts containing guarantees and indemnification obligations. These contracts primarily consist of:

product warranties with respect to certain products sold to customers in the ordinary course of business. These warranties typically provide that products will conform to specifications. We generally do not establish a liability for product warranty based on a percentage of sales or other formula. We accrue a warranty liability on a transaction-specific basis depending on the individual facts and circumstances related to each sale. Both the liability and annual expense related to product warranties are immaterial to our consolidated financial position and results of operations; and

licenses of intellectual property by us to third parties in which we have agreed to indemnify the licensee against third party infringement claims.

Development Grant Matter

On May 25, 2010, one of our Italian subsidiaries received a demand from the Italian Ministry of Economic Development for the total repayment of grant monies paid to two of our former subsidiaries in the amount of €5.1 million. With accrued interest the total value of the demand currently stands at €10.1 million ($13 million equivalent at September 30, 2013). The grant monies had previously been certified as payable by the Italian authorities and the grant process was finalized and closed in 2006. We acquired the former subsidiaries in September 2001 as part of an acquisition. The substance of the repayment demand is that the former owners of the subsidiaries made fraudulent claims and used fraudulent documents to support their grant application prior to our acquisition. There is no suggestion that we or our Italian subsidiary were directly involved in the grant process, but as purchaser of the two companies, the Ministry is seeking repayment from our Italian subsidiary. Our Italian subsidiary submitted a total denial of liability in regard to this matter on June 30, 2010. A full hearing of the merits of the demand is scheduled for July 2014. At this interim stage of the proceedings we are not able to determine the eventual outcome of the case. Accordingly, we have not recorded a liability related to this matter. We do not expect this matter to be material to our full year consolidated financial condition or results of operations, however the amount may be material to an interim reporting period.

Quarterly Cash Dividends

On October 11, 2012,10, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per common share. This dividend is payable on December 14, 201220, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 30, 2012.December 6, 2013. The estimated amount of this dividend payment is $25 million based on 195196 million shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2012.2013.

On July 12, 2012,11, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per common share. This dividend was paidshare payable on September 14, 201220, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 31, 2012.September 6, 2013. We used $25 million of available cash to pay this quarterly cash dividend.

On April 19, 2012,11, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per common share. This dividend was paidshare payable on June 15, 201221, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2012.7, 2013.

On February 16, 2012,14, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per common share which was paidpayable on March 16, 201215, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 2, 2012.1, 2013. We used $25 million of available cash to pay this quarterly cash dividend.

The dividend payments in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 discussed above are recorded as reductions to cash and cash equivalents and retained earnings on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our new Credit Facilitycredit facility and the Notesour senior notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends. However, we do not believe these covenants are likely to materially limit the future payment of quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. From time to time, we may consider other means of returning value to our stockholders based on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. There is no guarantee that our Board of Directors will declare any further dividends.

Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARS”SARs”)

In connection with the acquisition of Diversey, Sealed Air exchanged Diversey’s cash-settled stock appreciation rights and stock options that were unvested as of May 31, 2011 and unexercised at October 3, 2011 (the date of acquisition) into cash-settled stock appreciation rights based on Sealed Air common stock. As of September 30, 2013, we had 1.4 million SARs outstanding and the weighted average remaining vesting life of outstanding SARs was less than one year.

Since these SARs are settled in cash, the amount of the related expense has fluctuated and the related future expense will fluctuate based on theexercise and forfeiture activity and the changes in the assumptions used in a Black-Scholes valuation model, which include Sealed Air’s stock price, risk-free interest rates, expected volatility and a dividend yield. In addition, once vested, the related expense will continue to fluctuate due to the changes in the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model for any SARs that are not exercised until their respective expiration dates, the last of which is currently in March 2021.

We recognized compensationSARs expense of $9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and $27 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, related to SARs that were granted to Diversey employees who remained employees as of September 30, 2013. We also recognized SARs expenses of $3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $13$6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, related to SARs that were granted to Diversey employees who remained employees as of September 30, 2012. These amounts were based on the assumptions mentioned above and are included in marketing, administrative and development expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations except for SARs that were included in restructuring and other charges as discussed below. Cash payments due to the exercise of these SARs were $43 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $412013 and $23 million including $18 million as part of restructuring payments.in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012,2013, the remaining liability for these SARs except for SARs that were included in restructuring and other charges as discussed below was $30$25 million and is included in other current ($8 million) and non-current liabilities ($17 million) on ourthe condensed consolidated balance sheet.

This expense was included in restructuring and other charges on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Cash payments upon the exercise of these SARs were $18$2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.2013.

Share-based Incentive Compensation

We record share-based incentive compensation expense in marketing,selling, general and administrative and development expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity based on the fair value of the share-based incentive compensation awards at the date of grant. We recognize an expense or credit reflecting the straight-line recognition, net of estimated forfeitures, of the expected cost of the program. For the various performance share unit (“PSU”) awards programs described below,and our stock leverage opportunity (“SLO”) award programs, the cumulative amount accrued to date is adjusted up or down to the extent the expected performance against the targets has improved or worsened. These share-based incentive compensation programs are described in more detail below.worsened for the performance conditions components of the awards.

On February 28, 2013, the Organization and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (“O&C Committee”) approved a change in the vesting policy regarding the existing 2011 three-year PSU awards, and the newly granted 2013 three-year PSU awards, for William V. Hickey, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The approved change will result in the full vesting of the awards, rather than a pro-rata portion vesting as of the date of his retirement (May 16, 2013). Mr. Hickey’s awards will still be subject to the performance metrics stipulated in the plan documents, and will be paid-out in accordance with the original planned timing. As a result of these approved changes, the expense related to these awards was accelerated and recognized over the applicable service period up until the date of his retirement. We recognized share-based compensation expense related to these awards of $3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The discussion that follows provides further details of our share-based incentive compensation programs.

2012 Three-year PSU AwardsAccumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The targeted numberIncluded in stockholders’ equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is accumulated other comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes unrecognized pension items of shares of common stock that can be earned is 554,381 shares for these 2012 PSU awards. The total number of shares to be issued for these awards can range from zero to 200% of the target number of shares depending on the level of achievement of the performance goals and measures, plus or minus 55,438 additional shares at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”). These performance goals are outlined in further detail in the Proxy Statement for our 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The expenses included in the tables above were calculated using a grant date common stock share price of $19.72 per share for the awards granted on March 27, 2012 ($14.27 for the awards granted on September 1, 2012) for the three year average return on invested capital (“ROIC”) goal and net trade sales goals (these are considered performance conditions) and the Monte Carlo valuation of $23.40 per share for the awards granted on March 27, 2012 (an estimated $14.27 for the awards granted on September 1, 2012) for the TSR goal (this is considered a market condition). The expense calculation is based on management’s estimate$137 million as of September 30, 2012 of2013.

In the level of probable achievement of the performance goals and measures, which was determined to be at the target level, or 100% achievement (554,381 shares).

2011 Three-year PSU Awards

The targeted number of shares of common stock that can be earned is 380,617 shares for these 2011 PSU awards. The total number of shares to be issued for these awards can range from zero to 200% of the target number of shares depending on the level of achievement of the performance goals and measures, plus or minus 38,062 additional discretionary shares. These performance goals are outlined in further detail in the Proxy Statement for our 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The expenses included in the tables above were calculated using a grant date common stock share price of $26.18 per share on March 11, 2011 and is based on management’s estimate as of September 30, 2012 of the level of probable achievement of this award’s performance goals and measures, which was determined to be below the target level, or 84% achievement (159,859 shares, net of forfeitures), for the ROIC goal and below the target level, or 66% achievement (125,604 shares, net of forfeitures), for the volume goal.

2010 Three-year PSU Awards

The targeted number of shares of common stock that can be earned is 413,642 shares for these 2010 PSU awards. The total number of shares to be issued for these awards can range from zero to 200% of the target number of shares depending on the level of achievement of the performance goals and measures, plus or minus 41,364 additional discretionary shares. These performance goals are outlined in further detail in the Proxy Statement for our 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The expenses included in the tables above were calculated using a grant date common stock share price of $20.88 per share on March 8, 2010 and is based on management’s estimate as of September 30, 2012 of the level of probable achievement of the performance goals and measures, which was determined to be below the target level, or 97% achievement (200,616 shares, net of forfeitures) for the ROIC goal and at 159% achievement (328,845, net of forfeitures) for the volume goal.

2012 Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) Incentive Compensation

The targeted number of shares of common stock that can be earned is 273,834 shares for this 2012 CEO award. The total number of shares to be issued for this award can range from zero to 200% of the target number of shares depending on the level of achievement of the performance goals and measures. These performance goals are outlined in further detail in the Proxy Statement for our 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The expense included in the table above was calculated using a grant date common stock share price of $19.72 per share on March 27, 2012 and is based on management’s estimate as of September 30, 2012 of the level of probable achievement of the performance goals and measures, which was determined to be below the target level, or 79% achievement (150,855 shares), for the adjusted EBITDA goal and at the target level, or 100% achievement (82,150 shares), for the net debt reduction goal.

Due to our CEO’s retirement eligibility at grant date, the total expense related to these awards will be recognized on a straight-line basis in the year ended December 31, 2012.

For the awards (excluding the portion of the PSU awards related to the TSR goal) that are discussed above, the estimated amount of future share-based incentive compensation expense will fluctuate based on: 1) the expected level of achievement of the respective goals and measures considered probable in future quarters, which impacts the number of shares that could be issued; and 2) the future price of our common stock, which impacts the expense related to additional discretionary shares. Since the TSR metric is considered a market condition, the portion of the compensation expense related to the TSR metric will be recognized regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied provided that the requisite service has been provided.

For the 2012 CEO award and for all the PSU awards discussed above, each award recipient will receive also a cash payment in the amount of dividends (without interest) that would have been paid from the start of the performance period on the shares that have been earned until the shares are issued.

Stock Leverage Opportunity (“SLO”) Awards

The Compensation Committee set the SLO award premium at 25% for the years ending December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The 2012 SLO target awards comprise an aggregate of 77,731 restricted stock shares and restricted stock units as of September 30, 2012. The 2011 SLO awards that were issued on March 9, 2012 comprised an aggregate of 11,212 restricted stock shares and restricted stock units.

We record compensation expense for these awards in marketing, administrative and development expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in-capital within stockholders’ equity, based on the fair value of the awards at the end of each reporting period, which reflects the effects of stock price changes.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, compensation expense related2013, we reclassified $7 million ($5 million, net of taxes) out of accumulated other comprehensive income to the 2012 SLO awards was recognized based on the extent to which the performance goalsother assets and measures for our 2012 annual cash bonuses were considered probable of achievement at September 30, 2012. This expense is being recognized over a fifteen month period on a straight-line basis since a majority of the awards will vest at grant date, which will be no later than March 15, 2013, due to the retirement eligibility provision.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compensation expense related to the 2011 SLO awards was recognized based on the extent to which the performance goals and measures for 2011 annual cash bonuses were considered probable of achievement at September 30, 2011. This expense was recognized over a fifteen month period on a straight-line basis since a majority of the awards vested at grant date, which was March 9, 2012, due to the retirement eligibility provision.

Recipients who hold SLO awards in the form of restricted stock receive dividends. Recipients who hold SLO awards in the form of restricted stock units receive a cash payment in the amount of the dividends (without interest) on the shares they have earned at about the same time that shares are issued to them following the period of restriction. As of September 30, 2012, we have accrued for these dividends in other current liabilities on ourthe condensed consolidated balance sheetsheets. Also, see Note 15, “Profit Sharing, Retirement Savings Plans and Defined Benefit Plans,” of the amount was immaterial.Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to unrecognized pension items included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

In calculating diluted net earnings (loss) earnings per common share for 2012, our diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes the effect of assumed issuance of shares under the items mentioned aboveSettlement agreement and non-vested restricted stock units as the effect was anti-dilutive.

PSU Awards

Since the PSU awards discussed in Note 16, “Stockholders’ Equity,” include contingently issuable shares that are based on a conditionconditions other than earnings or market price, they are included in the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding when we meet the performance conditions as of that date. However, in 2012, unvested PSU awards that have met the performance conditions as of September 30, 2012 havewere not been included in the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as the effect was anti-dilutive.

SLOStock Leverage Opportunity Awards

The shares or units associated with the 20122013 SLO awards are considered contingently issuable shares and therefore are not included in the basic or diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.2013. These shares or units discussed in Note 16, “Stockholders’ Equity,” will not be included in the common shares outstanding until the final determination of the amount of annual incentive compensation is made in the first quarter of 2013.2014. Once this determination is made, the shares or units will be included in both the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding if the employee is retirement eligible or in the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding if the employee is not retirement eligible if the impact to diluted net earnings per common share is dilutive. The numbers of shares or units associated with SLO awards for the 2011three and earlier fiscal years,nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were nominal and, for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and 2011 were nominal and have not been included in the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as the effect was anti-dilutive.

Impairment of Equity Method Investment

In September 2007, we established a joint venture that supports our Food Solutions segment. We account for the joint venture under the equity method of accounting with our proportionate share of net income or losses included in other expense, net, on the consolidated statements of operations.

During the first half of 2012, the joint venture performed below expectations, resulting in reduced cash flow and increasing debt obligations. Due to these events, we evaluated our equity method investment for impairment. An equity method investment is impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. If there is no readily determinable fair value, then we are required to test it for impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances occurs that could have a significant impact on the fair value of the investment. If the investment is determined to be impaired, we must also determine if the impairment is other-than-temporary. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, based on reviewing undiscounted cash flow information, we determined that the fair value of our investment was less than its carrying value and that this impairment was other-than-temporary.

In connection with the establishment of the joint venture in 2007, we issued a guarantee in support of an uncommitted credit facility agreement that was entered into by the joint venture. The initial term of the credit facility was two years, which was renewed with the approval of both us and the joint venture. Under the terms of the guarantee, if the joint venture were to default under the terms of the credit facility, the lender would be entitled to seek payment of the amounts due under the credit facility from us. As of September 30, 2012, the joint venture has performed its obligations under the terms of the credit facility. Before the second quarter of 2012, we recorded the fair value of this guarantee as a component of our investment in this joint venture and included a corresponding liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. However, as a result of the impairment, we have included the guarantee liability in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 as we believe it is probable that we will need to perform under this guarantee. As of September 30, 2012, the debt holders have not requested that we perform under the terms of the guarantee.

As a result, in the second quarter of 2012 we recognized other-than-temporary impairment of $26 million ($18 million, net of taxes, or $0.09 per diluted share). This impairment consisted of the recognition of a current liability for the guarantee of the uncommitted credit facility mentioned above of $20 million and a $4 million write-down of the carrying value of the investment to zero at June 30, 2012. We also recorded provisions for bad debt on receivables due from the joint venture to the Company of $2 million, which is included in marketing, administrative and development expenses and impacted both of our food businesses. We have no further obligation to support the operations of the joint venture in the future.

(19) Related Party Transactions

Our Diversey segment has related party transactions with S.C. Johnson, Inc. and Unilever and these transactions are not considered material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. For more information regarding our related party transactions, refer to our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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

The information in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes set forth in Item 1 of Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our MD&A set forth in Item 7 of Part II of our 20112012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our consolidated financial statements and related notes set forth in Item 8 of Part II of our Form 10-K. See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” below and “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” above, and the information referenced therein, for a description of risks that we face and important factors that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements. All amounts and percentages are approximate due to rounding and all dollars are in millions, except per share amounts. When we cross-reference to a “Note,” we are referring to our “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” unless the context indicates otherwise.

Non-U.S. GAAP Information

In our MD&A, we present financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We also present financial information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP, which we refer to as non-U.S. GAAP, as our management believes it is useful to investors. In addition, non-U.S. GAAP measures are used by management to review and analyze our operating performance and, along with other data, as internal measures for setting annual budgets and forecasts, assessing financial performance, providing guidance and comparing our financial performance with our peers. The non-U.S. GAAP information has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP information. It does not purport to represent any similarly titled U.S. GAAP information and is not an indicator of our performance under U.S. GAAP. Further, non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that we present may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by others. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these non-U.S. GAAP measures. Further, investors are urged to review and consider carefully the adjustments made by management to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure to arrive at these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Our management will assess our financial results, such as gross profit, operating profit and diluted net earnings per common share (“EPS”), both on a U.S. GAAP basis and on an adjusted non-U.S. GAAP basis. Examples of some other supplemental financial metrics our management will also use to assess our financial performance include Earnings before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Cash EPS and Free Cash Flow. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the core operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain one-time expenses and/or gains (which may not occur in each period presented) and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods and peers more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts. Our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may also be considered in calculations of our performance measures set by the Organization and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors for purposes of determining incentive compensation.

The non-U.S. GAAP financial metrics mentioned above exclude items we consider unusual or special items and also exclude their related tax effects. We evaluate the unusual or special items on an individual basis. Our evaluation of whether to exclude an unusual or special item for purposes of determining our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including, among other things (i) its nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to our ongoing business operations, and (iii) whether or not we expect it to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis.

Another non-U.S GAAP financial metric we present is our core income tax rate or provision (“core tax rate”). Our core tax rate is a measure of our U.S. GAAP effective tax rate, adjusted to exclude the tax impact from the special items that are excluded from our Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted EPS metrics. We consider our core tax rate as an indicator of the taxes on our core business. The tax situation and effective tax rate in the specific countries where the excluded or special items occur will determine the impact (positive or negative) to our core tax rate.

In our “Highlights of Financial Performance,” “Net Sales by Segment Reporting Structure,” “Net Sales by Geographic Region” and in some of the discussions and tables that follow, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when presenting net sales information, which we define as “constant dollar.” Changes in net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency translation are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. As a worldwide business, it is important that we take into account the effects of foreign currency translation when we view our results and plan our strategies. Nonetheless, we cannot control changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Consequently, when our management looks at our financial results to measure the core performance of our business, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation by translating our current period results at prior period foreign currency exchange rates. We also may exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when making incentive compensation determinations. As a result, our management believes that these presentations are useful internally and may be useful to investors.

The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012. The transaction is expected to generate approximately $300 million in net cash, on an after tax basis. We intend to use the cash generated from this transaction to prepay a portion of our outstanding debt. We expect to record a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $260 million whenDiversey Japan. The operating results of Diversey Japan were reclassified to discontinued operations, net of tax, on the transaction is completed. The financial results for this discontinued operation is excluded from the financial results presented in this MD&Acondensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

2012 Guidance

We have adjusted our full year 2012 guidance assumptions to reflect the classificationnames of our Diversey operations in Japan as discontinued operations.three global business divisions:

 

Food Care, which was previously named Food & Beverage;

Diversey Care, which was previously named Institutional & Laundry; and

Product Care, which was previously named Protective Packaging.

See Note 4, “Segments,” for further details of our segment structure.

2013 Earnings Quality Improvement Program (EQIP)

As announced on May 1, 2013, we commenced with EQIP, which is an initiative to deliver meaningful cost savings and network optimization. See below, and Note 9, “Restructuring Activities” for further details of the program.

2013 Revised Outlook

We now expect net sales ofin 2013 to be approximately $7.7 billion (representing a 1% growth, as compared with 2012) and Adjusted EPS to be in the range of $1.25 to $1.30. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $1.055 billion and Free Cash Flow (Free Cash Flow represents cash flow from continuing operations including $300 millionless capital expenditures) to be approximately $375 million. Our core tax rate for 2013 is now expected to be in the range of unfavorable foreign currency translation. This compares with prior20% to 23% compared to previously provided guidance of $7.7 billion and an assumption of $400 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation;approximately 25%.

Additional full year 2013 outlook information includes:

 

interest expense of $390approximately $355 million (including $290 million of which $320 million is cash interest expense. This compares with prior guidance of $380 million of interest expense, of which $320 million was cash interest. Guidance is revised to reflect the increased rate of amortization due to our prepayment of term loans;

core tax rate of 29%. This compares with prior guidance of 30%payments);

 

adjusteddepreciation and amortization expense of approximately $310 million (including $170 million for property and equipment, $115 million for intangible assets and $25 million for share-based compensation);

cash tax payments of approximately $100 million; and

cash restructuring payments of approximately $140 million.

Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS outlook excludes the impact of $0.90 to $1.00 from continuing operations, compared with prior guidance of $1.00 to $1.10.

Except forspecial items and the changes noted above, our previous full year 2012 guidance assumptions referencedpayment under the Settlement agreement. Special items are described in our quarterly reportmore detail below and in Non-U.S. GAAP Information section included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have not changed. Adjusted EPS guidance excludes the payment of the W. R. Grace settlement, as the exact timing of the settlement is unknown. Final payment of the W. R. Grace settlement is expected to be accretive to adjusted EPS by approximately $0.13 annually following the payment date under the assumption of using a substantial portion of cash on hand for the payment and ceasing to accrue interest on the settlement amount. Additionally, our guidance excludes any non-operating gains or losses that may be recognized in 2012 due to currency fluctuations in Venezuela.10-Q.

Foreign Currency Translation Impact on Net Sales

As shown above, 64%Approximately 60% of our consolidated net sales in the three and nine months ended September 30, 20122013 were generated outside the U.S. Since we are a U.S. domiciled company, we translate our foreign currency-denominated net sales into U.S. dollars. Due to the changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, translating our net sales from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars may result in a favorable or unfavorable impact. Theimpact to our consolidated net sales results. Historically, the most significant currencies that affectedhave impacted the translation of our net sales and our other consolidated financial results in 2012 wereare the euro, the Australian dollar, the Brazilian real, the Canadian dollar, the British pound and the Japanese yen.Mexican peso.

We experienced an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact on net sales of $67$15 million in the three months ended September 30, 20122013 and $118$53 million in the nine months ended September 30, 20122013 compared with the same periods of 2011.2012. This was primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar againstrelative to the euroAustralian dollar, Canadian dollar and Brazilian real.real, partially offset by the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro.

We anticipate an unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation of approximately 1% on full year 2013 net sales compared with full year 2012.

The $10 million, or 2%, constant dollar increase in net sales in 2012 compared with 2011 was primarily due to higher unit volumes in most regions from increased customer production rates for fresh red meat. Prior and current pricing actions were fully offset by an unfavorable mix of products sold, particularly in North America.

The $43$29 million, or 3%, constant dollar increase in net sales in the 20122013 compared with 20112012 was primarily due to:

 

favorable product price/mix in Latin America of $10 million, or 7%, primarily in Brazil and Argentina as a result of our pricing initiatives implemented to offset increases in raw material costs;

favorable product price/mix in North America of $8 million, or 2%, due to increased sales of products with higher average selling prices;

higher unit volumes in AMAT of $7 million, or 10%, and in Latin America of $3 million, or 2%, due to an increase in beef production rates, hygiene standards as well as strong customer acceptance of new products; and

higher unit volumes in North America of $4 million, or 1%, and in Europe $2.4 million, or 1%, due to increases in equipment sales to new and existing customers.

These favorable factors were partially offset by lower sales in New Zealand of $2 million, or 2%, due to the current drought in this region and its impact on the dairy market.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared With the Same Period of 2012

The $6 million, or 1%, constant dollar increase in net sales in 2013 compared with 2012 was primarily due to:

favorable product price/mix of $9 million, or 2%. This increase is primarily due to our pricing actions in 2013 in most regions, primarily in the hospitality sector, which have more than offset input cost increases;

higher unit volumes in AMAT of $4 million, or 5%, due to growth in primarily in India and Africa in all sectors; and

 

higher unit volumes in Latin America of $14$3 million, or 6%, due to increased customer production rates for fresh red meat.sales to new and existing customers in the retail and channel sectors.

These favorable factors were offset by:

lower unit volumes in North America of $7 million, or 5%, due to destocking in the distribution channel as result of inventory buildup in 2012 and decline of the floor care sales in the government and education sector due to budget constraints; and

lower unit volumes in Europe of $3 million, or 1%, due to the economic challenges in most European countries, despite the strong performance in Eastern European countries.

The $345 million increase in cost of sales in 2012 compared with 2011 was primarily due to the $390 million incremental impact of Diversey’s cost of sales included in our results in the three months ended September 30, 2012 as a result of the acquisition of Diversey in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was also impacted by favorable foreign currency translation of $50$15 million. On a constant dollar basis, cost of sales was relatively flat.increased $38 million, or 3%, primarily due to the unfavorable impact of:

higher raw material costs of $21 million;

inflationary costs including salaries and benefit expenses of $11 million;

higher freight costs of $3 million;

incremental expenses associated with IOP of $1 million; and

increased costs to support higher unit volumes.

These factors were partially offset by incremental cost synergies associated with IOP of $9 million.

Nine monthsMonths Ended September 30, 20122013 Compared With the Same Period of 20112012

The $1.2 billion increase in cost of sales in 2012 compared with 2011 was primarily due to the $1.2 billion incremental impact of Diversey’s cost of sales included in our results in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as a result of the acquisition of Diversey in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was also impacted by favorable foreign currency translation of $90$43 million. On a constant dollar basis, cost of sales decreased $60increased $76 million, includingor 2%, primarily due to the unfavorable impact of lower averageof:

higher raw material costs of $25$34 million;

higher freight costs of $6 million; and

increased costs to support higher unit volumes.

These factors were partially offset by the favorable impact of:

incremental cost synergies associated with IOP of $27 million; and

lower expenses associated with IOP of $4 million.

We anticipate raw material costs continue to have an unfavorable impact on cost of sales in the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared with 2012. We have historically implemented and will continue to implement pricing actions as appropriate to offset increases in raw material costs along with increases in other input costs we may experience.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded an estimated pre-tax impairment charge of $1,334 million on the goodwill ($1,145 million) and trademark intangible asset ($189 million) related to our Diversey segment.

During the third quarter of 2012, due to the continuing unfavorable economic conditions primarily in Europe and North America, we re-evaluated the near and long-term expected business performance of our Diversey business. Our Diversey business had experienced operating results that were significantly lower than expected during the first half of 2012 and lower than originally forecasted at the time of the acquisition of Diversey in 2011. Also during the third quarter of 2012, we started our annual multi-year strategic forecasting and planning process, which is prepared for all reporting units in the second half of each year. In connection with this process, we re-evaluated the near and long-term expected business performance of the Diversey business and considered the longterm market conditions and business trends within each of the Diversey regional reporting units. As a result of our re-evaluation, we determined that our European business was not expected to achieve any significant growth until late 2013 or 2014. Additionally, in North America, we were not able to pass along to our customers, increases in raw material costs that began in late 2011 and continued into 2012, consequently causing margins to be significantly lower than originally expected. Also, the impact of lower sales and increases in raw material costs in Latin America caused that region’s operating results to be lower than expected. When we factored the impact of these unfavorable conditions into our strategic forecasting and planning process, we determined that these were significant indicators of potential impairment in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”. Accordingly, we performed an interim impairment test for both the goodwill and long-lived assets of the Diversey European, North American and Latin American reporting units.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, we began to operate under our new business division structure, which created the Institutional & Laundry (“I&L”) (which is included in Diversey Care Segment) and Hygiene Solutions (which is included in the Food Care segment) reporting units from the previous legacy Diversey segment. In connection with this new business division structure, we revised our multi-year forecast under the new reporting unit structure. Included in the revised multi-year forecast was our expectation that there would be further economic weakness in Europe, particularly in Southern Europe, which was more severe than we initially forecasted during our third quarter 2012 interim impairment review at the end of the third quarter of 2012. The I&L and Hygiene Solutions reporting units both derive a significant portion of their revenue from Europe. Also, included in the revised multi-year forecast for the I&L and Hygiene Solutions reporting units were the reported results for these reporting units for the fourth quarter of 2012. The reported results for both the I&L and Hygiene Solutions reporting units were lower than originally forecasted at the end of the third quarter of 2012. In particular, the I&L reporting unit experienced lower unit volumes in its consumer brands and lower equipment sales in Europe as compared with the fourth quarter of 2011. In addition, the I&L reporting unit continued to incur higher sales and marketing expenses compared with the fourth quarter of 2011. During the fourth quarter of 2012, several new members of our senior management team believed that a new and enhanced business strategy was required to successfully operate both the I&L and Hygiene Solutions businesses. The combination of the factors mentioned above unfavorably impacted our near and long-term forecasted revenues and cash flows for the I&L and Hygiene Solutions reporting units.

At December 31, 2012, we considered the factors mentioned above, including our new business division structure, and we determined that further indicators of impairment were present. Accordingly, we performed an interim assessment of impairment of our goodwill and long-lived assets for the I&L and Hygiene Solutions reporting units.

SARs expense increased $6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and $21 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared with the same periods in 2012. SARs expense includes the impact of changes in the share price of our common stock. The share price of our common stock increased approximately 14% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and approximately 55% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared with the same periods in 2012. We continue to explore opportunities to mitigate the impact of the volatility SARs expense is having on our consolidated results of operations. See Note 8, “Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets,15, “Stockholders’ Equity,” for informationfurther details of our SARs program.

As of September 30, 2013, we had 1.4 million SARs outstanding, of which 1.3 million were unvested. The 1.3 million unvested SARs vest as follows: 0.5 million on December 31, 2013, 0.5 million in 2014, and the events and circumstances that leadremainder in the first quarter of 2015. Based on recent experience, we would expect vested SARs to this impairmentbe exercised within a few months of their vesting date.

Costs Related to the Acquisition and Integration of Diversey

We recorded transaction and integration costs directly related to the acquisition of Diversey of less than $1 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. This compares to costs of $1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These costs primarily consist of professional and consulting fees. As discussed above, we have excluded these costs from our Adjusted EPS calculations in 2012. See Note 4, “Acquisition of Diversey Holdings, Inc.,” for further discussion of the acquisition.

Restructuring Activities

2013 Earnings Quality Improvement Program (EQIP)

As announced on May 1, 2013, we commenced with EQIP, which is an initiative to deliver meaningful cost savings and network optimization. The plan is estimated to generate annualized savings of approximately $80 million by the end of 2015. Savings for 2013 are expected to be minimal.

2011-2014 Integration and Optimization Program (IOP)

In December 2011, we initiated a restructuring program associated with the integration of Diversey’s business following our acquisition of Diversey on October 3, 2011. The program primarily consists of (i) reduction in headcount, (ii) consolidation of facilities, and (iii) supply chain network optimization, and (iv) certain other capital expenditures. This program is expected to be completed by the end of 2014.

See Note 10, “Restructuring Activities,” for further discussion We achieved $22 million of incremental cost synergies in the chargesthree months ended September 30, 2013 and liabilities associated$71 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to this program compared with this program.the same periods in 2012. We achieved these synergies in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses primarily in our Food Care and Diversey Care divisions.

The actual timing of future costs and cash payments related to this programthe programs described above are subject to change due to a variety of factors that may cause a portion of the costs, spending and benefits to occur later than expected. In addition, changes in foreign exchange rates may impact future costs, spending, cost synergies and other benefits.

European Principal Company

In May 2011, before the acquisition of Diversey, Diversey management approved, subject to successful works council consultations, plans to reorganize its European operations to function under a centralized management and supply chain model. We completed the reorganization on May 3, 2012 and the EPC, based in the Netherlands, is now centrally managing Diversey’s European operations. Diversey’s European subsidiaries are executing sales and distribution locally, and local production companies are acting as toll manufacturers.

As part See Note 9, “Restructuring Activities,” for further discussion of the planning for this reorganization, we recognizedcharges and liabilities associated costs of $1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $12 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These costs are included in marketing, administrative and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.with these programs.

We anticipate benefitsmay from this reorganizationtime to come from lower overhead costs from a centralizedtime implement additional restructuring programs if management determines that they are necessary and supply chain model as well as other possible savings. We anticipate additional associatedwill deliver meaningful savings and/or restructuring costs in 2012 and net benefits to begin in 2013. The amount and timing of costs and benefits is subject to change due to a variety of factors such as the overall profitability of Diversey’s European business, administrative efficiency, and foreign currency exchange translation.synergies.

Food Packaging SegmentCare Operating Profit (Loss)

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared With the Same Period of 2012

Food Care operating profit was $115 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared with a $228 million operating loss in 2012. The operating loss in 2012 included a $333 million estimated charge for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. Excluding the 2012 estimated impairment charge, operating profit increased $10 million in 2013, primarily due to the impact of higher unit volumes of $4 million and cost synergies associated with IOP of $10 million. These factors were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $2 million primarily in support of the increase in net sales and higher SARs expense of $2 million. Raw material cost increases of $11 million, were fully offset by favorable product/price mix and manufacturing efficiency improvements.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared With the Same Period of 2012

Food Care operating profit was $312 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with a $76 million operating loss in 2012.The operating loss in 2012 included a $333 million estimated charge for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. Excluding the 2012 estimated impairment charge, operating profit increased $55 million in 2013, primarily due to the impact of higher volumes of $19 million, cost synergies associated with IOP of $35 million and manufacturing efficiency improvements of $31 million. These factors were partially offset by higher raw material costs of $14 million, higher SARs expense of $6 million and higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $4 million primarily in support of the increase in net sales.

Diversey Care Operating Profit (Loss)

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared With the Same Period of 2012

Diversey Care operating profit was $18 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with a $976 million operating loss in 2012. The operating loss in 2012 included a $1.0 billion estimated charge for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. Excluding the 2012 estimated impairment charge, operating profit decreased $7 million in 2013, primarily due to higher raw material costs of $3 million, higher SARs expense of $4 million and higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $6 million as a result of inflationary costs including increases in salaries and benefit expenses, as well as increased inventory obsolescence costs. These factors were partially offset by cost synergies associated with IOP of $8 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared With the Same Period of 2012

Diversey Care operating profit was $47 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with a $956 million operating loss in the 2012. The operating loss in 2012 included a $1.0 billion estimated impairment charge of goodwill and other intangible assets. Excluding the 2012 estimated impairment charge, operating profit was relatively flat in 2013 as compared with 2012. Raw material costs increases of $8 million, were fully offset by pricing actions and manufacturing efficiency improvements.

Product Care Operating Profit

The 9% decline in Food Packaging’sProduct Care operating profit of $53 million was primarily attributableflat in the unfavorablethree months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012. Raw material cost increases of $7 million, were offset by the impact of the higher volumes of $5 million and cost synergies associated with IOP of $3 million and favorable product price/mix of products sold, which also contributed to under absorption of manufacturing costs in the period.$2 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 20122013 Compared With the Same Period of 20112012

The 13% decline in Food Packaging’sProduct Care operating profit was primarily duedeclined 5% to the following items, which occurred in the first half of 2012:

unfavorable impact of a negotiated labor agreement in Argentina of $5 million;

certain costs associated with manufacturing consolidation activities of $4 million, including additional expenses related to maintenance, employee training and start-up inefficiencies; and

higher bad debt provisions of $2 million, including $1 million related to the receivables balances included in the impairment of equity method investment in a joint venture.

Food Solutions Segment Operating Profit

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared With the Same Period of 2011

The 9% increase in Food Solutions’ operating profit was primarily due to the impact of lower raw material costs, which also contributed to the increase in this segment’s operating profit as a percentage of net sales to 13% from 11%.

Nine months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared With the Same Period of 2011

The 15% increase in Food Solutions’ operating profit was primarily due to the impact of favorable product price/mix mentioned above, which also contributed to the increase in this segment’s operating profit as a percentage of net sales to 12% from 10%.

Protective Packaging Segment Operating Profit

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared With the Same Period of 2011

Protective Packaging’s operating profit was flat.

Nine months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared With the Same Period of 2011

The 2% increase in Protective Packaging’s operating profit was primarily due to the favorable impact of increased net sales discussed above.

Diversey Segment Operating Profit

Our Diversey segment reported a $30 million operating profit in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and a $43 million operating profit in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

In addition to the results of Diversey mentioned above, the segment’s operating profit results also reflected the following items:

amortization of intangible assets of $29 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $90$144 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012; and

charges related to prior restructuring programs of $182013 from $151 million in nine months ended September 30, 2012, including associated2012. This decline of $7 million was primarily due to higher raw material costs related to the EPC of $12 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Theseand inflationary costs were not material in the three months ended September 30, 2012.

In the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded an estimated pre-tax charge of $1,334$5 million, for impairment on the goodwill and trademark related to this segment. See Note 9, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further details.partially offset by incremental cost synergies associated with IOP of $11 million.

Substantially all of the proceeds from this offering were used to purchase the outstanding amount ($400 million) of the 7.875% Senior Notes due July 2017. See Note 10, “Debt and Credit Facilities,” and “Loss on Debt Redemption” below for further details.

Foreign Currency Exchange Loss Related to Venezuelan Subsidiaries

In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced a devaluation of the bolivar from an official exchange rate of 4.3 to 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar. Due to this devaluation, as of September 30, 2013, we re-measured our bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities using the official exchange rate of 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar. As a result, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and pre-tax loss of $13 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to this devaluation and other transaction losses. See “Foreign Exchange Rates,” below for further details.

Loss on Debt Redemption

In March 2013, we completed an offering of $425 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due April 2023. Substantially all of the net proceeds from these notes were used to repurchase $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due June 2017. The $32 million pre-tax loss on debt redemption included in our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consists of a 6% premium, the acceleration of the unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the repurchase of the 7.875% senior notes and certain fees.

Impairment of Equity Method Investment

2013

In the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized an impairment of $2 million in connection with an equity method investment included in our Other Category. This investment was not material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

2012

In September 2007, we established a joint venture that supports our Food Care segment. We account for the joint venture under the equity method of accounting with our proportionate share of net income or losses included in other expense, net, on the consolidated statements of operations.

During the first half of 2012, the joint venture performed below expectations, resulting in reduced cash flow and increasing debt obligations. Due to these events, we evaluated our equity method investment for impairment. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, based on reviewing undiscounted cash flow information, we determined that the fair value of our investment was less than its carrying value and that this impairment was other-than-temporary.

In connection with the establishment of the joint venture in 2007, we issued a guarantee in support of an uncommitted credit facility agreement that was entered into by the joint venture. Under the terms of the guarantee, if the joint venture were to default under the terms of the credit facility, the lender would be entitled to seek payment of the amounts due under the credit facility from us. However, as a result of the impairment, we have included the guarantee liability in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 as we believe it is probable that we will need to perform under this guarantee. As of September 30, 2013, the joint venture has performed its obligations under the terms of the credit facility and the debt holders have not requested that we perform under the terms of the guarantee.

As a result, in the second quarter of 2012 we recognized other-than-temporary impairment of $26 million ($18 million, net of taxes, or $0.09 per diluted share). This impairment consisted of the recognition of a current liability for the guarantee of the uncommitted credit facility mentioned above of $20 million and a $4 million write-down of the carrying value of the investment to zero at June 30, 2012. We also recorded provisions for bad debt on receivables due from the joint venture to the Company of $2 million, which is included in marketing, administrative and development expenses and impacted our Food Care division. We have no additional obligations to support the operations of the joint venture in the future.

Other Income (Expense), net

See Note 18,16, “Other Income (Expense), net,” for the components and details of other expense, net and discussion of our impairment of equity method investment.net.

Income Taxes

Our effective income rate from continuing operations was 24.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and was 19.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our effective income tax rate for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 benefited from a favorable earnings mix, with earnings in jurisdictions with low tax rates and losses in jurisdictions, including the U.S. with higher tax rates. The favorable factors were partially offset by losses and restructuring charges in jurisdictions where we did not have any tax benefit due to the applicable tax rate or valuation allowances. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 benefited from a retroactive reinstatement of certain tax provisions that were recorded as discrete items during the three months ended March 31, 2013. On January 2, 2013, the President signed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, retroactively reinstating and extending the research and development tax credit and certain foreign tax provisions from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013. Our effective tax rate for the full year may be higher or lower depending on, among other factors, our mix of foreign earnings and the amount and location of restructuring charges incurred during the year.

We incurred losses from continuing operations during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. Our loss before income taxes from continuing operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 was reduced by an income tax benefit of $48 million and $55 million, respectively (an effective income tax benefit rate of 4% in each period). The tax benefit for the three month and nine month periods was 4% because our net loss resulted from an impairment charge, substantially all of which related to non-deductible goodwill, with no corresponding tax benefit. Our core tax rate for the three month and nine month periods was 32% and 28%, respectively. Our tax provision for both the three month and nine month periods benefitted from earnings in jurisdictions with low tax rates and losses in jurisdictions, such as the U.S., with high tax rates, as well as favorable settlements of certain tax disputes totaling $2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $12 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The favorable factors were partially offset by losses in jurisdictions where we did not have any tax benefit due to the applicable tax rate or valuation allowances. In addition, during the three

Our effective income

months ended September 30, 2012, we increased our valuation allowances by a total of $36 million to provide for certain foreign tax ratecredits and net operating losses that we currently believe are not likely to be realized. This increase in our valuation allowance was 26%offset by a reduction in our unrecognized tax benefits resulting in no material change to our tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. For both the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, our effective income tax rate was lower than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to our lower net effective income tax rate on foreign earnings, our domestic manufacturing deduction and certain U.S. tax credits, partially offset by state income taxes and non-deductible acquisition costs related to our acquisition of Diversey.

We expect a loss before income taxes from continuing operations for the 2012 year as a result of the non-deductible goodwill impairment charge with a nominal tax benefit. We currently anticipate a core tax rate of approximately 29% for 2012. Our final core rate for the year may be higher or lower than our core rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 depending on, among other factors, our mix of foreign earnings and losses.

Our effective tax rate also depends on the realization of our deferred tax assets, net of our valuation allowances. We have deferred tax assets related to the Settlement agreement, other accruals not yet deductible for tax purposes, foreign tax credits, U.S. and foreign net operating loss carry forwards and investment tax allowances, employee benefit items, and other items. Our largest deferred tax asset relates to our Settlement agreement as defined in Note 15,14, “Commitments and Contingencies.”

We have established valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets depends in part upon our ability to generate future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences reverse or our ability to carry back any losses created by the deduction of these temporary differences. We expect to realize these assets over an extended period. If we are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, or if there is a significant change in the time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, we could be required to increase our valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets.

Our tax benefit with respect to the Settlement agreement may be significantly reduced resulting in an increased tax expense if the fundingwe do not fund a significant portion of the Settlement agreement occurs later thanbefore the end of 2013 or the price of our common stock at the time of funding ofwe fund the Settlement agreement is less than $17.86 per share. TheseAs described in connection with the “Settlement Agreement and Related Costs” portion of the “Material Commitments and Contingencies” section of the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” discussion, these conditions could result in a significant increase in our effective tax rate and could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations in the periods in which these conditions occur. For example, a delay in funding a significant portion of the Settlement agreement until 2014, could require us to increase our valuation allowance, resulting in an increased tax expense of as much as $50 million in 2013. In addition, changes in statutory tax rates or other new legislation or regulation may change our deferred tax assets or liability balances, with an either favorable or unfavorable impact on our effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The information in this section sets forth material changes in and updates to material information contained in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of our MD&A set forth in Item 7 of Part II of our 20112012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with that discussion.

The discussion that follows contains descriptions of:

our material commitments and contingencies;

our principal sources of liquidity;

our outstanding indebtedness;

our historical cash flows, free cash flow and changes in working capital;

changes in our stockholders’ equity; and

our derivative financial instruments.

Material Commitments and Contingencies

Settlement Agreement and Related Costs

We recorded a pre-tax charge of $850 million in 2002, of which $513 million represents a cash payment that we are required to make (subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of the Settlement agreement) upon the effectiveness of a plan of reorganization in the bankruptcy of W. R. Grace & Co.Co, known as Grace. We did not use cash in any period with respect to this liability.

We currently expect to fund a substantial portion of this payment when it becomes due by using accumulated cash and cash equivalents with the remainder from our committed creditliquidity facilities. Our new Credit Facilitycredit facility is available for general corporate purposes, including the payment of the amounts required upon effectiveness of the Settlement agreement. See “Principal Sources of Liquidity” below. The cash payment of $513 million accrues interest at a 5.5% annual rate, which is compounded annually, from December 21, 2002 to the date of payment. This accrued interest was $352$400 million at September 30, 20122013 and is recorded in Settlement agreement and related accrued interest on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The total liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet was $866$913 million at September 30, 2012.2013. In addition, the Settlement agreement provides for the issuance of 18 million shares of our common stock. Since the impact of issuing these shares is dilutive to our EPS, under U.S. GAAP, they are included in our diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding in our calculation of EPS if the impact of including these shares is dilutive. See Note 17, “Net Earnings (Loss) Earnings Per Common Share,” for details of our calculation of EPS.

Tax benefits resulting from the anticipated funding of the Settlement agreement were recorded as a $397$415 million net deferred tax asset on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012.2013. This deferred tax asset reflects the cash portion of the Settlement agreement and related accrued interest and the value of the 18 million shares of our common stock at the post-split price of $17.86 per share, which was the price when the Settlement agreement was reached in 2002.

We intend to carry back a significant portion of the loss resulting from our deduction under the Settlement agreement. The efficiency of any amount carried back and timing of our future potential cash tax benefits could vary depending on whenthe benefit therefrom, as well as the benefit from the amount carried forward, may depend upon, among other factors, the year we fund the Settlement agreement, the amount of cash we pay and various facts and circumstances at the time of funding under the Settlement agreement, including the price of our common stock, our tax position and the applicable tax codes. For example, our cashagreement. Our tax benefit may be significantly reduced if the funding of the Settlement agreement occurs later than anticipated or the price of our common stock at the time of funding is less than $17.86 per share. In addition, our ability to utilize this deferredresulting in an increased tax asset depends in part upon our future operating results. We expect to realize this asset over an extended period. If we are unable to generate sufficient U.S. taxable income we could be required to increase our valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset and we may not realize the full cash tax benefit relating to this asset. This could result in a significant increase in our effective tax rate andexpense which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations if we do not fund a significant portion of the Settlement agreement before the end of 2013 or are unable to generate sufficient U.S. taxable income. For example, a delay in funding a significant portion of the Settlement agreement until 2014, could require us to increase our valuation allowance, resulting in an increased tax expense of as much as $50 million in 2013. The timing of our funding, however, is subject to certain factors beyond our control. Recently, Grace indicated that it could not reasonably expect to emerge from bankruptcy in 2013 given the appeals to its current proposed joint plan of reorganization (the “PI Settlement Plan”). We therefore, understand that Grace may not emerge from bankruptcy in 2013. We are pursuing available options to preserve the full amount of the net deferred tax asset, but no assurances can be given that the full amount of the net deferred tax asset will be preserved. Other facts that will impact our tax benefit include the amount of cash we pay, our tax position and the applicable tax codes, our past and anticipated future earnings in the periods in which these conditions occur.U.S., as well as the price or our common stock at the time we fund the Settlement agreement. Changes in statutory tax rates or other new legislation or regulation may also change our deferred tax assets or liability balances, with an either favorable or unfavorable impact on our effective tax rate.

While the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court have confirmed the PI Settlement Plan, parties have appealed or otherwise challengedand the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the “Third Circuit Court of Appeals”) has issued opinions and judgments overruling certain objections and appeals to the PI Settlement Plan, and the opinions and orders enteredThird Circuit Court of Appeals has not yet ruled on the appeal filed by certain holders of Grace’s prepetition bank debt (the “Bank Lender Appeal”). We do not know when the BankruptcyThird Circuit Court andof Appeals will rule on the District Court confirmingBank Lender Appeal or whether there will be further proceedings with respect to the Bank Lender Appeal or other appeals. Matters relating to the PI Settlement Plan. These mattersPlan may be subject to further appeal, challenge, and proceedings before the Bankruptcy Court, the District Court, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, the United States Supreme Court (the “Supreme Court”) or other courts.elsewhere. Parties have designatedchallenged various issues with respect to be considered in challenging the PI Settlement Plan and the opinions and orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court, including (without limitation) issues relating to releases and injunctions contained in the PI Settlement Plan. We will continue to review and monitor the progress of the Grace bankruptcy proceedings (including appeals and other proceedings relating to the PI Settlement Plan, or to the opinions and orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court and the Amended District Court confirmingOpinions, and the PI Settlement Plan)Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Confirmation Orders), as well as any amendments or other changes to the PI Settlement Plan or to the opinions and orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court and the Amended District Court confirming the PI Settlement Plan,Opinions and Confirmation Orders, to verify compliance with the Settlement agreement. We do not control the appellate timetable, including when or how the Third Circuit Court of Appeals will rule on the Bank Lender Appeal, whether the parties will seek to appeal any Third Circuit ruling to the Supreme Court, whether the Supreme Court will take up any of these appeals, or how any ruling on appeal might impact the PI Settlement Plan. We do not know whether or when a final plan of reorganization (whether the PI Settlement Plan or another plan of reorganization) will become effective or whether the final plan will be consistent with the terms of the Settlement agreement.

As mentioned in “2012 Guidance”“2013 Revised Outlook” above, our full year 20122013 diluted net earnings per common share guidance continues to exclude the payment under the Settlement agreement, as the timing is unknown. Payment under the Settlement agreement is expected to be accretive to our post-payment diluted net earnings per common share by approximately $0.13 annually. This amount primarily represents the accretive impact on our net earnings from ceasing to accrue any future interest on the settlement amount following the payment.

Principal Sources of Liquidity

    We require cash to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditures, interest, taxes and dividend payments and to pay our debt obligations and other long-term liabilities as they come due. Our principalprimary sources of liquiditycash are cash flowsthe collection of trade receivables generated from operations, accumulated cashthe sales of our products and services to our customers and amounts available under our existing lines of credit, described below, including the Credit Facility,our credit facility, and our accounts receivable securitization program.

programs. Our primary uses of cash are payments for operating expenses, restructuring expenses, investments in working capital, capital expenditures, interest, taxes, dividends, debt obligations and other long-term liabilities. We believe that our current liquidity position and future cash flows from operations will enable us to fund our operations, including all of the items

mentioned above, and the cash payment under the Settlement agreement should it become payable withinin the next 12 months. We also are aligning our core business and in the process of a portfolio rationalization, which could generate upexpect to $500retain approximately $200 million of cash includingand cash equivalents following the proceeds from the sale of our Diversey operations in Japan, by the third quarter of 2013 and create an opportunity to accelerate deleveraging.

The Company believes that the repatriation of its cash located outside of the U.S. would result in cash taxes of approximately $10 million.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities from Continuing Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $65 million in 2012. Net loss adjusted for non-cash items was $276 million, which included depreciation and amortization of $231 million and share-based incentive compensation of $32 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in net cash usage of $211 million primarily due to the following:

increase in inventories, net of $89 million, primarily due to our seasonal increases mainly in North America and Latin America; and

a decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $122 million, primarily due to:

a decrease in receivables, net, of $63 million, primarily due to normal seasonal trends; and

an increase in accounts payable of $17 million due to timing of payments.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 20112013

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations in 20112013 of $278 million was primarily attributable to net earnings adjusted to reconcile to net cash provided by operating activities of $356$372 million, which primarily includesincluded adjustments for depreciation and amortization, costs related to the acquisition of Diversey and share-based incentive compensation

expenses. expenses, profit sharing expense, loss on debt redemption and deferred taxes. Net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net cash use of $79$94 million in 2011.2013 primarily in trade receivables, net, inventories and accounts payable. This activity reflects our seasonality of sales and collections, along with the timing of inventory purchases and the related receipts and payments of cash.

2012

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations in 2012 of $65 million was primarily attributable to net loss adjusted to reconcile to net cash provided by operating activities of $276 million, which primarily included adjustments for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, share-based incentive compensation expenses, profit sharing expenses impairment of equity method investment and deferred taxes. Net changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net cash use was primarily due to an increaseof $211 million in cash used for inventories of $91 million and cash used for2012. Changes in trade receivables, net, of $22 million. The higher inventory level reflected the rise in average petrochemical-based raw material costs in 2011 and a build up in inventories in anticipation of increased sales volumes from normal seasonality in some of our businesses. The increase in cash used for receivables was consistent with our constant dollar net sales growth in 2011. These factors were partially offset by cash provided by income taxes payable and accounts payable primarily due towere a net use of cash of $173 million. This activity reflects the seasonality of sales and collections, along with the timing of payments.inventory purchases and the related receipts and payments of cash.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities from Continuing Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations in 2013 of $75 million primarily consisted of capital expenditures of $80 million related to capacity expansions to support growth in net sales. Capital expenditure related to IOP were $9 million in 2013.

2012

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations in 2012 of $97 million primarily consisted of capital expenditures of $98 million including $8 million used in connection with our 2011-2014 Integration and Optimization Program.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations in 2011 primarily consisted of capital expenditures of $78 million primarily for the maintenance of property plant and equipment, productivity improvements and capacity expansions to support the growth in net sales. Capital expenditure related to IOP were $14 million in 2012.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities from Continuing Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations of $102 million was primarily due to the following:

repurchase of $400 million on 7.875% Senior Notes due June 2017 for $431 million;

prepayment of term loan installments of $55 million; and

payment of $76 million of quarterly dividends.

These factors were partially offset by issuance of $425 million of 5.25% Senior Notes due April 2023 and short term borrowings of $43 million.

2012

Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations in 2012 wasof $156 million primarily for prepayments of our 2013 term loan installments of $89 million and dividends paid on our common stock of $76 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations in 2011 was primarily due to the following:

 

the cash payment of quarterly dividends of $62$76 million; and

 

prepayments of our term loan installments of $89 million.

Free Cash Flow

In addition to net cash provided by operating activities, we use free cash flow as a useful measure of performance and as an indication of the acquisitionstrength and ability to generate cash. We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (which is classified as an investing activity). Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for net income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash available for discretionary expenditures, including certain debt servicing requirements or non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from this measure. We typically generate the majority of 0.5 million sharesour annual free cash flow in the second half of common stock with a fair market valuethe year. Below find details of $13 million that were withheld from employees to satisfy their minimum tax withholding obligations under our 2005 contingent stock plan.free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate SwapsForeign Currency Forward Contracts

At September 30, 2013, we were party to foreign currency forward contracts, which did not have a significant impact on our liquidity. The information set forth in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 12, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” under the caption “Interest Rate Swaps” is incorporated herein by reference.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

At September 30, 2012, we were party to foreign currency forward contracts, which did not have a significant impact on our liquidity.

The information set forth in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 12,11, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” is incorporated herein by reference.

For further discussion about these contracts and other financial instruments, see Part I, Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our 20112012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item  7 of our 20112012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk from changes in the conditions in the global financial markets, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices and the creditworthiness of our customers and suppliers, which may adversely affect our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. We seek to minimize these risks through regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Interest Rates

From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps, collars or options to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.

At September 30, 2012,2013, we had no outstanding interest rate swaps, outstanding collars or options.

The information set forth in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 12, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” under the caption “Interest Rate Swaps” is incorporated herein by reference.

See Note 13, “Fair Value Measurements and Other Financial Instruments,” for details of the methodology and inputs used to determine the fair value of our fixed rate debt. The fair value of our fixed rate debt varies with changes in interest rates. Generally, the fair value of fixed rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of $116$110 million in the fair value of the total debt balance at September 30, 2012. These changes2013. This change in the fair value of our fixed rate debt dodoes not alter our obligations to repay the outstanding principal amount or any related interest of such debt. See Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements and Other Financial Instruments,” for details of the methodology and inputs used to determine the fair value of our fixed rate debt.

Foreign Exchange Rates

Operations

As a large, global organization, we face exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolvethe mix of our transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar changes and could materially impact our consolidated financial condition and results of operations in the future. See our MD&A above for the impacts foreign currency translation had on our operations.

Venezuela

Economic events in Venezuela have exposed us to heightened levels of foreign currency exchange risk.

The potential future impact to our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for bolivar-denominated transactions will depend on our access to U.S. dollars and on the exchange rates in effect when we enter into, remeasurere-measure and settle transactions. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the future impact until each transaction settles at its applicable exchange rate or is remeasuredre-measured into U.S. dollars.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012,2013, less than 2%1% of our consolidated net sales and operating income were derived from our businesses in Venezuela. As of September 30, 2012,2013, we had net assets of $37$46 million in Venezuela, which primarily consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $29$37 million. Also, as of September 30, 2012,2013, our Venezuelan subsidiaries had a negative cumulative translation adjustment balance of $52$46 million.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We use foreign currency forward contracts to fix the amounts payable or receivable on some transactions denominated in foreign currencies. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates at September 30, 20122013 would have caused us to pay approximately $46$151 million to terminate these contracts. Based on our overall foreign exchange exposure, we estimate this change would not materially affect our financial position and liquidity. The effect on our results of operations would be substantially offset by the impact of the hedged items.

Our foreign currency forward contracts are described in Note 12,11, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” which information is incorporated herein by reference.

We may use other derivative instruments from time to time, such as foreign exchange options to manage exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rate and currency swaps related to certain financing transactions. These instruments can potentially limit foreign exchange exposure and limit or adjust interest rate exposure by swapping borrowings denominated in one currency for borrowings denominated in another currency. At September 30, 2012,2013, we had no foreign exchange options or interest rate and currency swap agreements outstanding.

Outstanding Debt

Our outstanding debt is generally denominated in the functional currency of the borrower. We believe that this enables us to better match operating cash flows with debt service requirements and to better match the currency of assets and liabilities. The amount of outstanding debt denominated in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar was $625$445 million at September 30, 20122013 and $674$429 million at December 31, 2011.2012.

Customer Credit

We are exposed to credit risk from our customers. In the normal course of business we extend credit to our customers if they satisfy pre-defined credit criteria. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of our customers to make required payments. An additional allowance may be required if the financial condition of our customers deteriorates. The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level that management assesses to be appropriate to absorb estimated losses in the accounts receivable portfolio.

Our customers may default on their obligations to us due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons. Our provision for bad debt expense was $5$3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013, $1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012, $1$10 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20122013 and $5$12 million forin the nine months ended September 30, 2011.2012. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $23$36 million at September 30, 20122013 and $16$26 million at December 31, 2011.2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that our employees accumulate this information and communicate it to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only “reasonable assurance” of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily must apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under Rule 13a-15. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, supervised and participated in this evaluation. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the “reasonable assurance” level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 20122013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The information set forth in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 15,14, “Commitments and Contingencies,” which is incorporated herein by reference. See also Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as subsequently updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 as well as the information incorporated by reference in that item.

We are also involved in various other legal actions incidental to our business. We believe, after consulting with counsel, that the disposition of these other legal proceedings and matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

See Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.2012. Except as required by the federal securities law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any risk factor, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

If the Settlement agreement (as defined in Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies”) is not implemented, we will not be released from the various asbestos-related, fraudulent transfer, successor liability, and indemnification claims made against us arising from a 1998 transaction with Grace. We do not control the timing of the cash payment required from us under the Settlement agreement. We are also a defendant in a number of asbestos-related actions in Canada arising from Grace’s activities in Canada prior to the 1998 transaction.

On March 31, 1998, Sealed Air completed a multi-step transaction (the “Cryovac transaction”) involving Grace which brought the Cryovac packaging business and the former Sealed Air Corporation’s business under the common ownership of the Company. As part of that transaction, Grace and its subsidiaries retained all liabilities arising out of their operations before the Cryovac transaction (including asbestos-related liabilities), other than liabilities relating to Cryovac’s operations, and agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to such retained liabilities. Since 2000, the Company has been served with a number of lawsuits alleging that, as a result of the Cryovac transaction, the Company is responsible for the alleged asbestos liabilities of Grace and its subsidiaries. While they vary, these suits all appear to allege that the transfer of the Cryovac business was a fraudulent transfer or gave rise to successor liability. On April 2, 2001, Grace and certain of its subsidiaries filed for Chapter 11 relief in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). In connection with Grace’s Chapter 11 case, the Bankruptcy Court issued orders dated May 3, 2001 and January 22, 2002, staying all asbestos actions against the Company. However, the official committees appointed to represent asbestos claimants in Grace’s Chapter 11 case (the “Committees”) received the court’s permission to pursue fraudulent transfer and other claims against the Company and its subsidiary Cryovac, Inc. based upon the Cryovac transaction. This proceeding was brought in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “District Court”) (Adv. No. 02-02210).

On November 27, 2002, we reached an agreement in principle with the Committees to resolve the fraudulent transfer proceeding and all current and future asbestos-related claims made against us and our affiliates in connection with the Cryovac transaction. The Settlement agreement will also resolve the fraudulent transfer claims and successor liability claims, as well as indemnification claims by Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. and affiliated companies in connection with the Cryovac transaction. The parties to the agreement in principle signed the definitive Settlement agreement as of November 10, 2003 consistent with the terms of the agreement in principle. On June 27, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court signed an order approving the definitive Settlement agreement. Although Grace is not a party to the Settlement agreement, under the terms of the order, Grace is directed to comply with the Settlement agreement subject to limited exceptions. On September 19, 2008, Grace, the Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants, the Asbestos PI Future Claimants’ Representative, and the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders (the “Equity Committee”) filed, as co-proponents, a plan of reorganization (as filed and amended from time to time, the “PI Settlement Plan”) and several exhibits and associated documents, including a disclosure statement (as filed and amended from time to time, the “PI Settlement Disclosure Statement”), with the Bankruptcy Court. As filed, the PI Settlement Plan would provide for the establishment of two asbestos trusts under Section 524(g) of the United States Bankruptcy Code to which present and future asbestos-related claims would be channeled. The PI Settlement Plan also contemplates that the terms of our definitive Settlement agreement will be incorporated into the PI Settlement Plan and that we will pay the amount contemplated by that agreement.

On January 31, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered a memorandum opinion (the “Bankruptcy Court Opinion”) overruling certain objections to the PI Settlement Plan. On the same date, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order regarding confirmation of the PI Settlement Plan (the “Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order”). As entered on January 31, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order contained recommended findings of fact and conclusions of law, and recommended that the District Court approve the Confirmation Order, and that the District Court confirm the PI Settlement Plan and issue a channeling injunction under Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Thereafter, on February 15, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order clarifying the Bankruptcy Court Opinion and the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order (the “Clarifying Order”). Among other things, the Clarifying Order provided that any references in the Bankruptcy Court Opinion and the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order to a recommendation that the District Court confirm the PI Settlement Plan were thereby amended to make clear that the PI Settlement Plan was confirmed and that the Bankruptcy Court was requesting that the District Court issue and affirm the Confirmation Order including the injunction under Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. On March 11, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting in part and denying in part a motion to reconsider the Bankruptcy Court Opinion filed by BNSF Railway Company (the “March 11 Order”). Among other things, the March 11 Order amended the Bankruptcy Court Opinion to clarify certain matters relating to objections to the PI Settlement Plan filed by BNSF.

Various parties appealed or otherwise challenged the Bankruptcy Court Opinion and the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order, including without limitation with respect to issues relating to releases and injunctions contained in the PI Settlement Plan.

On January 30, 2012, the District Court issued a memorandum opinion (the “Original District Court Opinion”) and confirmation order (the “Original District Court Confirmation Order”) overruling all objections to the PI Settlement Plan and confirming the PI Settlement Plan in its entirety (including the issuance of the injunction under Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code). On February 3, 2012, Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC (“Garlock”) filed a motion (the “Garlock Reargument Motion”) with the District Court requesting that the District Court grant reargument, rehearing, or otherwise amend the Original District Court Opinion and the Original District Court Confirmation Order insofar as they overruled Garlock’s objections to the PI Settlement Plan. On February 13, 2012, the Company, Cryovac, and Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. filed a joint motion (the “Sealed Air/Fresenius Motion”) with the District Court. The Sealed Air/Fresenius Motion did not seek to disturb confirmation of the PI Settlement Plan but requested that the District Court amend and clarify certain matters in the Original District Court Opinion and the Original District Court Confirmation Order. Also on February 13, 2012, Grace and the other proponents of the PI Settlement Plan filed a motion (the “Plan Proponents’ Motion”) with the District Court requesting certain of the same amendments and clarifications sought by the Sealed Air/Fresenius Motion. On February 27, 2012, certain asbestos claimants known as the “Libby Claimants” filed a response to the Sealed Air/Fresenius Motion and the Plan Proponents’ Motion (the “Libby Response”). The Libby Response did not oppose the Sealed Air/Fresenius Motion or the Plan Proponents’ Motion but indicated, among other things, that: (a) the Libby Claimants had reached a settlement in principle of their objections to the PI Settlement Plan but that this settlement had not become effective and (b) the

- 44 -


Libby Claimants reserved their rights with respect to the PI Settlement Plan pending the effectiveness of the Libby Claimants’ settlement. On April 20, 2012, as part of a more global settlement, Grace filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking, among other things, approval of settlements with the Libby Claimants and BNSF. The settlements with the Libby Claimants and BNSF were approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court dated June 6, 2012. Thereafter, the appeals of the Libby Claimants and BNSF with respect to the PI Settlement Plan were dismissed by orders of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the “Third Circuit Court of Appeals”) dated September 24, 2012 and October 4, 2012. The District Court held a hearing on May 8, 2012, to consider the Garlock Reargument Motion. On May 29, 2012, Anderson Memorial Hospital (“Anderson Memorial”) filed a motion seeking relief from, and reconsideration of, the Original District Court Opinion and the Original District Court Confirmation Order (the “Anderson Relief Motion”). In the Anderson Relief Motion, Anderson Memorial argued that a May 18, 2012, decision by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in a case calledWright v. Owens-Corning undermined the District Court’s conclusion that (a) the PI Settlement Plan was feasible and (b) the asbestos property damage injunction and trust included in the PI Settlement Plan were appropriate. Objections to the Anderson Relief Motion were filed by Grace and the other proponents of the PI Settlement Plan, and by the representative of future asbestos property damage claimants appointed in the Grace bankruptcy proceedings. On June 11, 2012, the District Court entered a consolidated order (the “Consolidated Order”) granting the Sealed Air/Fresenius Motion, the Plan Proponents’ Motion, and the Garlock Reargument Motion, and providing for amendments to the Original District Court Opinion and the Original District Court Confirmation Order. Although the Consolidated Order granted the Garlock Reargument Motion, it did not constitute the District Court’s agreement with Garlock’s objections to the PI Settlement Plan, which the District Court continued to overrule. Also on June 11, 2012, the District Court entered an amended memorandum opinion (the “Amended District Court Opinion”) and confirmation order (the “Amended District Court Confirmation Order”) overruling all objections to the PI Settlement Plan, reflecting amendments described in the Consolidated Order, and confirming the PI Settlement Plan in its entirety (including the issuance of the injunction under Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code). Thereafter, on July 23, 2012, the District Court issued a memorandum opinion and an order denying the Anderson Relief Motion. Parties have appealed the Amended District Court Opinion and the Amended District Court Confirmation Order to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

If it becomes effective, the PI Settlement Plan may implement the terms of the Settlement agreement, but there can be no assurance that this will be the case notwithstanding the confirmation of the PI Settlement Plan by the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court. The terms of the PI Settlement Plan remain subject to amendment. Moreover, the PI Settlement Plan is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions which are more fully set forth in the PI Settlement Plan and include, without limitation, the availability of exit financing and the approval of the PI Settlement Plan becoming final and no longer subject to appeal. Parties have appealed the Amended District Court Confirmation Order to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals or otherwise challenged the Amended District Court Opinion and the Amended District Court Confirmation Order. Matters relating to the PI Settlement Plan, the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Opinions, and the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Confirmation Orders may be subject to further appeal, challenge, and proceedings before the District Court, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, or other courts. Parties have designated various issues to be considered in challenging the PI Settlement Plan, the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Opinions, or the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Confirmation Orders, including, without limitation, issues relating to releases and injunctions contained in the PI Settlement Plan.

Although Grace publicly indicated its intent to seek to emerge from bankruptcy before the appeals are fully and finally resolved, it subsequently indicated that it was not able to receive the necessary consents and waivers to do so, including from the Company. Grace has further indicated that, with an appeals process before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, its target date to emerge from bankruptcy is the fourth quarter of 2013; however, there can be no assurance that this timing for emergence will be correct. Consistent with our Settlement agreement, we are prepared to pay the Settlement amount directly to the asbestos trusts to be established under section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code once the conditions of the Settlement agreement are fully satisfied. Among those conditions is that approval of an appropriate Grace bankruptcy plan – containing all releases, injunctions, and protections required by the Settlement agreement – be final and not subject to any appeal. Given the pending appeals (which include, without limitation, challenges to the injunctions and releases in the PI Settlement Plan), the condition that approval of the PI Settlement Plan be final and not subject to any appeal has not been satisfied at this time. The Company has not waived this, or any other, condition of the Settlement agreement nor can there be any assurance that each of the parties whose consent or waiver is required for Grace to emerge from bankruptcy while the appeals are pending will provide such consent or waiver.

While the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court have confirmed the PI Settlement Plan, we do not know whether or when the Third Circuit Court of Appeals will affirm the Amended District Court Confirmation Order or the Amended District Court Opinion, whether or when the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Opinions or the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Confirmation Orders will become final and no longer subject to appeal, or whether or when a final plan of reorganization (whether the PI Settlement Plan or another plan of reorganization) will become effective. Assuming that a final plan of reorganization (whether the PI Settlement Plan or another plan of reorganization) is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court, and does become effective, we do not know whether the final plan of reorganization will be consistent with the terms of the Settlement agreement or if the other conditions to our obligation to pay the Settlement agreement amount will be met. If these conditions are not satisfied or not waived by us, we will not be obligated to pay the amount contemplated by the Settlement agreement. However, if we do not pay the Settlement agreement amount, we and our affiliates will not be released from the various claims against us. We will continue to review and monitor the progress of the Grace bankruptcy proceedings (including appeals and other proceedings relating to the PI Settlement Plan, the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Opinions, and the Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Confirmation Orders), as well as any amendments or changes to the PI Settlement Plan or to Bankruptcy and Amended District Court Opinions and Confirmation Orders, to verify compliance with the Settlement agreement.

If the Settlement agreement does not become effective, either because Grace fails to emerge from bankruptcy or because Grace does not emerge from bankruptcy with a plan of reorganization that is consistent with the terms of the Settlement agreement, then we and our affiliates will not be released from the various asbestos-related, fraudulent transfer, successor liability, and indemnification claims made against us and our affiliates noted above, and all of these claims would remain pending and would have to be resolved through other means, such as through agreement on alternative settlement terms or trials. In that case, we could face liabilities that are significantly different from our obligations under the Settlement agreement. We cannot estimate at this time what those differences or their magnitude may be. In the event these liabilities are materially larger than the current existing obligations, they could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Since November 2004, the Company and specified subsidiaries have been named as defendants in a number of cases, including a number of putative class actions, brought in Canada as a result of Grace’s alleged marketing, manufacturing or distributing of asbestos or asbestos containing products in Canada prior to the Cryovac transaction in 1998. Grace has agreed to defend and indemnify us and our subsidiaries in these cases. The Canadian cases are currently stayed. A global settlement of these Canadian claims to be funded by Grace has been approved by the Canadian court, and the PI Settlement Plan provides for payment of these claims. We do not have any positive obligations under the Canadian settlement, but we are a beneficiary of the release of claims. The release in favor of the Grace parties (including us) will become operative upon the effective date of a plan of reorganization in Grace’s United States Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. As filed, the PI Settlement Plan contemplates that the claims released under the Canadian settlement will be subject to injunctions under Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. As indicated above, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order on January 31, 2011 and the Clarifying Order on February 15, 2011 and the District Court entered the Original District Court Confirmation Order on January 30, 2012 and the Amended District Court Confirmation Order on June 11, 2012. The Canadian

- 45 -


Court issued an Order on April 8, 2011 recognizing and giving full effect to the Bankruptcy Court’s Confirmation Order in all provinces and territories of Canada in accordance with the Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Order’s terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the PI Settlement Plan has not become effective, and we can give no assurance that the PI Settlement Plan (or any other plan of reorganization) will become effective. Assuming that a final plan of reorganization (whether the PI Settlement Plan or another plan of reorganization) is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court, and does become effective, if the final plan of reorganization does not incorporate the terms of the Canadian settlement or if the Canadian courts refuse to enforce the final plan of reorganization in the Canadian courts, and if in addition Grace is unwilling or unable to defend and indemnify us and our subsidiaries in these cases, then we could be required to pay substantial damages, which we cannot estimate at this time and which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

(1)We did not purchase any shares during the quarter ended September 30, 20122013 pursuant to our publicly announced program (described below). We did acquire shares by means of (a) shares withheld from awards under our 2005 contingent stock plan pursuant to the provision thereof that permits tax withholding obligations or other legally required charges to be satisfied by having us withhold shares from an award under that plan and (b) shares reacquired pursuant to the forfeiture provision of our 2005 contingent stock plan. (See table below.) We report price calculations in column (b) in the table above only for shares purchased as part of our publicly announced program, when applicable, including commissions. For shares withheld for tax withholding obligations or other legally required charges, we withhold shares at a price equal to their fair market value. We do not make payments for shares reacquired by the Company pursuant to the forfeiture provision of the 2005 contingent stock plan as those shares are simply forfeited.
