[3] From the beginning of our cost-reduction and transformation initiatives in 2005 through July 3, 2011, Employee termination costs represent the expected reduction of the workforce by approximately 55,400 employees, mainly in manufacturing and sales and research, of which approximately 39,100 employees have been terminated as of July 3, 2011. Employee termination costs are generally recorded when the actions are probable and estimable and include accrued severance benefits, pension and postretirement benefits, many of which may be paid out during periods after termination. Asset impairments primarily include charges to write down property, plant and equipment to fair value. Other primarily includes costs to exit certain assets and activities. These restructuring charges in 2011 are associated with the following: ● For the three months ended July 3, 2011, Primary Care operating segment ($87 million), Specialty Care and Oncology operating segment ($7 million), Established Products and Emerging Markets operating segment ($12 million), Animal Health and Consumer Healthcare operating segment ($4 million), research and development operations ($51 million), manufacturing operations ($81 million) and Corporate ($23 million). ● For the six months ended July 3, 2011, Primary Care operating segment ($133 million), Specialty Care and Oncology operating segment ($42 million), Established Products and Emerging Markets operating segment ($15 million), Animal Health and Consumer Healthcare operating segment ($14 million), Nutrition operating segment ($2 million), research and development operations ($473 million), manufacturing operations ($156 million) and Corporate ($135 million).
