For the six months ended June 30, 2009, these pre-tax charges were $1.4 million ($0.9 million after-tax) for both acquisitions completed or contemplated.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a net restructuring and impairment provision of $10.7 million compared to $48.2 million in the same period of 2009. In 2010, these charges included $6.1 million for workforce reductions of 412 employees (of whom 384 were terminated as of June 30, 2010) associated with actions resulting from the reorganization of certain operations. These charges primarily related to the reorganization of certain operations within the business process outsourcing and Latin America reporting units within the International segment and the reorganization of certain operations within the magazine, catalog and retail insert reporting unit within the U.S. Print and Related Services segment. In addition, the Company recorded $1.5 million of impairment charges of other long-lived assets and $3.1 million of other restructuring costs, including lease termination and other facility closure costs. Restructuring charges for the three months ended June 30, 2009 included $24.8 million for workforce reductions of 598 employees (all of whom were terminated as of June 30, 2010) associated with actions resulting from the reorganization of certain operations. These actions included the closing of one catalog, magazine and retail insert manufacturing facility and two book manufacturing facilities within the U.S. Print and Related Services segment and the closing of one business process outsourcing facility and one Global Turnkey Solutions manufacturing facility within the International segment. In addition, the Company recorded $8.1 million of impairment charges of other long-lived assets and $15.3 million of other restructuring costs, including lease termination and other facility closure costs. Management believes that certain restructuring activities will continue throughout the remainder of 2010, as the Company continues to streamline its manufacturing, sales and administrative operations.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $8.9 million to $134.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, primarily due to reduced capital expenditures as compared to historical levels. Depreciation and amortization included $24.3 million and $24.4 million of amortization of purchased intangibles related to customer relationships, patents, trade names, licenses and non-compete agreements for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Net earnings from operations attributable to RR Donnelley common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $88.8 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared to $25.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
