• Acquisition-related charges:
     •  Amortization expense/impairment charges of intangibles acquired in business combinations and certain standalone acquisitions of intellectual property (including purchased in-process    research and development)
     •  Restructuring expense and settlement of pre-existing relationships incurred in connection with a business combination
     •  Acquisition related third-party costs
• Discontinued Activities:
    • Results of the discontinued operations that qualify as such under IFRS in all respects except that they do not represent a major line of business
