(1) During the third quarter of 2010, the Company recorded restructuring and other special charges of $21.8 million, consisting of $10.9 million in
professional fees and expenses associated with recent acquisitions; $7.0 million in bridge financing fees associated with the signing of an asset purchase
agreement for Genzyme Genetics; and $3.9 million in severance related liabilities associated with workforce reduction initiatives. The after tax impact of
these charges decreased net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2010, by $13.4 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.13 ($13.4 million
divided by 104.1 million shares).
 
 
(2) During the third quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $2.7 million representing fees and expenses associated with its
acquisition of Monogram Biosciences. The after tax impact of this charge reduced net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2009, by $1.6
million and diluted earnings per share by $0.01 ($1.6 million divided by 108.8 million shares).
