In connection with a review of the Company’s overall cash position and anticipated cash needs, we made a $473
million distribution of certain foreign earnings in fiscal 2014, resulting in an overall net tax benefit of approximately
$41 million. The benefit is primarily due to the recognition of foreign tax credits which exceeded the taxes due on
the distribution of foreign earnings.
