NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for The Timken Company (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and notes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 .

Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Guidance Adopted:
In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments." ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This new accounting guidance does not eliminate the requirement for the measurement period to be completed within one year. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-16. The impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-16 was immaterial to the Company's results of operations and financial condition as there was only a minor measurement-period adjustment during the first six months of 2016.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)." ASU 2015-07 eliminates the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments for which fair values are estimated using the net asset value ("NAV") practical expedient provided in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement." Instead, entities will be required to disclose the fair values of such investments so that financial statement users can reconcile amounts reported in the fair value hierarchy table and the amounts reported on the balance sheet. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-07. The adoption of ASU 2015-07 did not have any impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition as the new guidance addresses disclosure only. See Note 17 - Fair Value for the new disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement." ASU 2015-05 provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. Prior to the issuance of this new accounting guidance, there was no explicit guidance about a customer's accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-05 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not have any impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." ASU 2015-03 requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction to the carrying value of debt. Prior to the issuance of this new accounting guidance, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as a deferred charge (i.e., an asset), and only a debt discount was recorded as a direct deduction to the carrying value of debt. ASU 2015-03 requires that the new accounting guidance be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance.

New Accounting Guidance Issued and Not Yet Adopted:
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model. The new expected credit loss impairment model will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt instruments, net investments in leases, loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Upon initial recognition of the exposure, the expected credit loss model requires entities to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics should be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not prescribe a specific method to make the estimate so its application will require significant judgment. ASU 2016-13 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." ASU 2016-09 simplifies various aspects of the accounting for stock-based payments. The simplifications include: (a) recording all tax effects associated with stock-based compensation through the income statement, as opposed to recording certain amounts in other paid-in capital, which eliminates the complications of tracking a “windfall pool,” but will increase the volatility of income tax expense; (b) allowing entities to withhold shares to satisfy the employer’s statutory tax withholding requirement up to the highest marginal tax rate applicable to employees rather than the employer’s minimum statutory rate, without requiring liability classification for the award; (c) modifying the requirement to estimate the number of awards that will ultimately vest by providing an accounting policy election to either estimate the number of forfeitures or recognize forfeitures as they occur; and (d) changing certain presentation requirements in the statement of cash flows, including removing the requirement to present excess tax benefits as an inflow from financing activities and an outflow from operating activities, and requiring the cash paid to taxing authorities arising from withheld shares to be classified as a financing activity.

ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. Amendments related to the timing of when excess tax benefits are recognized, minimum statutory withholding requirements, forfeitures, and intrinsic value should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. Amendments related to the presentation of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares to meet the minimum statutory withholding requirement should be applied retrospectively. Amendments requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement and the practical expedient for estimating expected term should be applied prospectively. An entity may elect to apply the amendments related to the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows using either a prospective transition method or a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-09 will have on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.



7



In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 was issued to increase transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." ASU 2014-09 introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of this new accounting guidance by one year, which will result in it being effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

Note 3 - Acquisitions
On September 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the membership interests of Carlstar Belt LLC ("Timken Belts") for $213.7 million , including cash acquired of approximately $0.1 million . The Company incurred approximately $1.0 million of legal and professional fees to acquire Timken Belts. Timken Belts is a leading North American manufacturer of belts used in industrial, commercial and consumer applications, and sold under multiple brand names, including Carlisle®, Ultimax® and Panther®, among others. The product portfolio includes more than 20,000 parts that utilize wrap molded, raw edge, v-ribbed and synchronous belt designs. Based in Springfield, Missouri, Timken Belts had annual sales of approximately $140 million for the twelve months ending June 30, 2015, and employs approximately 750 employees. The results of the operations of Timken Belts are reported in both the Mobile Industries and Process Industries segments based on customers served.

In June 2016, the Company paid a net purchase price adjustment of $0.7 million for Timken Belts, resulting in an adjustment to goodwill. The following table presents the purchase price allocation for the Timken Belts acquisition:

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with approximately 54% valued by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method and the remaining 46% valued by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. The majority of the Company's domestic inventories are valued by the LIFO method and all of the Company's international (outside the United States) inventories are valued by the FIFO method.

An actual valuation of the inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these calculations are subject to many factors beyond management’s control, annual results may differ from interim results as they are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

The LIFO reserves at June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , were $178.7 million and $188.1 million , respectively. The Company recognized a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $9.4 million during the first six months of 2016 , compared with an increase in its LIFO reserve of $0.3 million during the first six months of 2015 .

The Company has a $500 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Senior Credit Facility"), which matures on June 19, 2020 . At June 30, 2016 , the Company had $38.4 million of outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to $461.6 million . Under the Senior Credit Facility, the Company has two financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. At June 30, 2016 , the Company was in full compliance with both of these covenants under the Senior Credit Facility.

The Company has a $100 million Amended and Restated Asset Securitization Agreement ("Accounts Receivable Facility") that matures on November 30, 2018 . Under the terms of the Accounts Receivable Facility, the Company sells, on an ongoing basis, certain domestic trade receivables to Timken Receivables Corporation, a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary, which in turn uses the trade receivables to secure borrowings, which are funded through a vehicle that issues commercial paper in the short-term market. Borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility are limited by certain borrowing base limitations. These limitations reduced the availability of the Accounts Receivable Facility to $74.4 million at June 30, 2016 . As of June 30, 2016 , there were outstanding borrowings of $61.0 million under the Accounts Receivable Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to $13.4 million . The cost of this facility, which is the prevailing commercial paper rate plus program fees, is considered a financing cost and is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The outstanding balance under the Accounts Receivable Facility was classified as long-term debt as of June 30, 2016 , to align with the term of the agreement and reflect the Company's expectations relative to the minimum borrowing base. The outstanding balance under the Accounts Receivable Facility was classified as short-term debt as of December 31, 2015 .

Note 8 - Contingencies

Product Warranties:
The Company is currently evaluating claims raised by certain customers with respect to the performance of bearings sold into the Wind energy sector. The Company recorded expense related to these claims for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , of $1.9 million and $3.4 million , respectively, to provide accruals related to these claims. Management believes that the outcome of these claims will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position; however, the effect of any such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs in excess of amounts provided, if any, are recognized.

The exercise prices for certain stock options that the Company has awarded exceed the average market price of the Company’s common shares. Such stock options are antidilutive and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The antidilutive stock options outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 3,440,775 and 1,618,201 , respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the antidilutive stock options outstanding were 3,266,844 . During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , the Company incurred a net loss and therefore treated all stock options and restricted stock units as antidilutive.

The following discussion explains the impairment and restructuring charges recorded for the periods presented; however, it is not intended to reflect a comprehensive discussion of all amounts in the tables above.
Mobile Industries
On March 17, 2016, the Company announced the closure of its bearing plant in Altavista, Virginia ("Altavista"). The plant is expected to close in approximately one year from the announcement date, with production transferring to the Company's bearing plant near Lincolnton, North Carolina. During the first six months of 2016 , the Company recorded impairment charges of $2.4 million and severance and related benefit costs of $1.5 million related to this closure.
On September 8, 2014, the Company announced the closure of its bearing facility in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom, rationalizing the capacity into existing facilities. This facility closed during the second quarter of 2016 and the Company recorded exit costs of $0.7 million related to this closure.
In addition, the Company incurred $0.7 million of severance and related benefit costs related to the rationalization of one of its facilities in Europe during the first six months of 2015 .

On November 30, 2015, The Timken Company Pension Plan purchased a group annuity contract from Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") to pay and administer future pension benefits for approximately 3,400 United Sates ("U.S.") Timken retirees. Pension settlement charges of $1.6 million incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , were primarily due to professional fees associated with the implementation of this group annuity contract.

On January 23, 2015 , the Timken-Latrobe-MPB-Torrington Retirement Plan purchased a group annuity contract from Prudential to pay and administer future pension benefits for approximately 5,000 U.S. Timken retirees. The Company transferred approximately $575 million of the Company's pension obligations and $635 million of pension assets to Prudential in this transaction. In addition to the purchase of the group annuity contract, the Company made lump-sum distributions to new retirees of $19 million in 2015. The Company also entered into an agreement pursuant to which one of the Company's Canadian defined benefit pension plans purchased a group annuity contract from Canada Life. The group annuity contract requires Canada Life to pay and administer future pension benefits for approximately 40 Canadian retirees. As a result of the group annuity contract, lump-sum distributions, and pension settlement and curtailment charges related to the Company's Canadian pension plans, the Company incurred total pension settlement charges of $219.6 million , including professional fees of $2.1 million , for the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Note 16 - Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying the estimated annual effective tax rates to income or loss before income taxes for the period. In addition, non-recurring or discrete items, including interest on prior year tax liabilities, are recorded during the period(s) in which they occur.

The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2016 was calculated as the difference between the income taxes computed for the six months, as described below, and the year-to-date income taxes recorded as of March 31, 2016. This computation resulted in an effective tax rate of 30.8% for the second quarter of 2016, including discrete items.
 
The effective tax rate in the first six months of 2016 was computed based on an expected annual effective tax rate of 30.2% , excluding discrete items. Discrete tax items are recorded in the period in which they occur. The effective tax rate of 30.6% in the first six months of 2016 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits related to foreign tax credits, earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35% and other U.S. tax benefits, such as the Research and Experimentation credit and the U.S. manufacturing deduction. These factors were partially offset by U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, U.S. state and local taxes and the impact of certain discrete tax items during the period.

The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2015 was calculated as the difference between the income taxes computed for the six months, as described below, and the year-to-date income taxes recorded as of March 31, 2015. This computation resulted in an effective tax rate of 43.4% for the second quarter of 2015, including discrete items.

The effective tax rate in the first six months of 2015 was computed based on an expected annual effective tax rate of negative 4.9% , excluding discrete items. At that time, the Company expected tax benefits on expected pretax income with an estimated effective tax rate of negative 8.5% , including discrete items. This rate reflected an expected full year loss in the U.S. primarily driven by pension settlement charges, and earnings in foreign jurisdictions, which was expected to produce a net tax benefit on pretax income. The expected effective tax rate of negative 8.5% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to lower U.S. earnings due to pension settlement charges, earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35% , tax benefits related to foreign tax credits, U.S. state and local taxes, non-deductible U.S. expenses and the U.S. manufacturing deduction. These factors were partially offset by U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded and certain discrete tax expenses.

Note 17 - Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB provides accounting rules that classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 :

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased and are generally valued at the redemption value. Short-term investments are investments with maturities between four months and one year and are generally valued at amortized cost. A portion of the cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment are valued based on net asset value. The Company uses publicly available foreign currency forward and spot rates to measure the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts.

The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparties to its financial instruments.

Assets held for sale of $0.2 million were written down to their fair value of zero during the first quarter of 2016, resulting in an impairment charge. The fair value of these assets was based on the price that the Company expects to receive when it disposes of these assets.

On March 17, 2016, the Company announced the closure of its Altavista bearing plant. The plant is expected to close in approximately one year from the announcement date, with production transferring to the Company's bearing plant near Lincolnton, North Carolina. The Altavista bearing plant, with a carrying value of $5.7 million , was written down to its fair value of $3.3 million during the first quarter of 2016, resulting in an impairment of $2.4 million . The fair value for the plant was based on the price that the Company expects to receive from the sale of this facility.

Assets held for sale of $5.8 million associated with the Company's repair business in Niles, Ohio were written down to their fair value of $2.8 million during the first six months of 2015 , resulting in an impairment charge of $3.0 million . The fair value of these assets was based on the price that the Company expected to receive from the sale of these assets. This business was subsequently sold during the second quarter of 2015 for an immaterial loss.

Various items of property, plant and equipment, with a carrying value of $0.8 million , were written down to their fair value of $0.5 million during the first six months of 2015 , resulting in an impairment charge of $0.3 million . The fair value for these assets was based on the price that would be received in a current transaction to sell the assets on a standalone basis, considering the age and physical attributes of these items, as these assets had been idled.

Financial Instruments:
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable net, accounts payable, trade, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable net, accounts payable, trade and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $558.1 million and $521.5 million at June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $519.8 million and $519.2 million at June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The fair value of long-term fixed-debt was measured using Level 2 inputs.

Note 18 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk. Forward exchange contracts on various foreign currencies are entered into in order to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with certain of the Company’s commitments denominated in foreign currencies. Forward contracts on various commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of natural gas used in the Company’s manufacturing process. Interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s fixed and floating-rate borrowings.

The Company designates certain foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenues and certain interest rate hedges as fair value hedges of fixed-rate borrowings.

The Company does not purchase nor hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. As of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , the Company had $269.2 million and $235.7 million , respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value. Refer to Note 17 - Fair Value for the fair value disclosure of derivative financial instruments.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy:
For certain derivative instruments that are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges ( i.e ., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any ( i.e ., the ineffective portion), or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income during the current period.

To protect against a reduction in the value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from export sales over the next year, the Company has instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted intra-group revenue or expense denominated in foreign currencies with forward contracts. When the dollar strengthens significantly against foreign currencies, the decline in the present value of future foreign currency revenue is offset by gains in the fair value of the forward contracts designated as hedges. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is offset by losses in the fair value of the forward contracts.

The maximum length of time over which the Company hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is generally 18 months or less.
 
Fair Value Hedging Strategy:
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges ( i.e ., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the same line item associated with the hedged item ( i.e ., in “interest expense” when the hedged item is fixed-rate debt).

Purpose for Derivative Instruments not Designated as Hedging Instruments:
For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, the instruments are typically forward contracts.  In general, the practice is to reduce volatility by selectively hedging transaction exposures including intercompany loans, accounts payable and accounts receivable. Intercompany loans between entities with different functional currencies are typically hedged with a forward contract at the inception of the loan with a maturity date at the maturity of the loan.  The revaluation of these contracts, as well as the underlying balance sheet items, is recorded directly to the income statement so the adjustment generally offsets the revaluation of the underlying balance sheet items to protect cash payments and reduce income statement volatility.

Note 19 - Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA)

The U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act ("CDSOA") provides for distribution of monies collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("U.S. Customs") on entries of merchandise subject to antidumping orders that entered the U.S. prior to October 1, 2007, to qualifying domestic producers where the domestic producers have continued to invest in their technology, equipment and people. During the second quarter and first six months of 2016, the Company recognized pretax CDSOA income, net of related expenses, of $6.1 million and $53.8 million , respectively.

In September 2002, the World Trade Organization ruled that CDSOA payments are not consistent with international trade rules. In February 2006, U.S. legislation was enacted that ended CDSOA distributions for imports covered by antidumping duty orders entering the United States after September 30, 2007. Instead, any such antidumping duties collected would remain with the U.S. Treasury.

CDSOA has been the subject of significant litigation since 2002, and U.S. Customs has withheld CDSOA distributions in recent years while litigation was ongoing. In recent months, much of the CDSOA litigation that involves antidumping orders where Timken is a qualifying domestic producer has concluded.

As a result, the Company was notified by letters dated March 25, 2016 and June 24, 2016 that funds were being distributed to the Company. On April 1, 2016, and July 1, 2016, the Company received CDSOA distributions of $48.1 million and $6.3 million , respectively, in the aggregate, representing funds that would have been distributed to Timken at the end of calendar years 2011 through 2015.

At June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a sundry receivable for CDSOA distributions received in July. This sundry receivable was included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

While some of the challenges to CDSOA have been resolved, others are still in litigation. Since there continue to be legal challenges to CDSOA, U.S. Customs has advised all affected domestic producers that it is possible that CDSOA distributions could be subject to clawback. Management of the Company believes that the likelihood of any clawback is remote.

Note 20 - Subsequent Events

On July 8, 2016, the Company acquired Lovejoy, a manufacturer of premium industrial couplings and universal joints, for $63.5 million in cash and assumed debt of $2.5 million . Based in Downers Grove, Illinois, with additional locations in the U.S., Canada and Germany, Lovejoy had sales of approximately $56 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2016.

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

Overview
Introduction:

The Timken Company engineers, manufactures and markets bearings, transmissions, gearboxes, belts, chain and related products and offers a spectrum of power system rebuild and repair services. The Company’s growing product and services portfolio features many strong industrial brands, such as Timken, Fafnir, Philadelphia Gear, Carlisle, Drives and Interlube. Timken today applies its deep knowledge of metallurgy, friction management and mechanical power transmission across the broad spectrum of bearings and related systems to improve the reliability and efficiency of machinery and equipment all around the world. Known for its quality products and collaborative technical sales model, Timken focuses on providing value to diverse markets worldwide through both original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and aftermarket channels. With more than 14,000 people operating in 28 countries, Timken makes the world more productive and keeps industry in motion. The Company operates under two reportable segments: (1) Mobile Industries and (2) Process Industries. The following further describes these business segments:

Mobile Industries serves OEM customers that manufacture off-highway equipment for the agricultural, mining and construction markets; on-highway vehicles including passenger cars, light trucks, and medium- and heavy-duty trucks; rail cars and locomotives; and rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft. Beyond service parts sold to OEMs, aftermarket sales to individual end users, equipment owners, operators and maintenance shops are handled through the Company's extensive network of authorized automotive and heavy-truck distributors.

Process Industries serves OEM and end-user customers in industries that place heavy demands on the fixed operating equipment they make or use in heavy and other general industrial sectors. This includes metals, cement and aggregate production; coal and wind power generation; oil and gas extraction and refining; pulp and paper and food processing; and health and critical motion control equipment. Other applications include marine equipment, gear drives, cranes, hoists and conveyors. This segment also supports aftermarket sales and service needs through its global network of authorized industrial distributors.

Timken creates value by understanding customer needs and applying its know-how in attractive market sectors. The Company’s business strengths include its channel mix and end-market diversity, serving a broad range of customers and industries across the globe. Timken collaborates with OEMs to improve equipment efficiency with its engineered products and captures subsequent equipment replacement cycles by selling through independent channels in the aftermarket. Timken focuses its international efforts and footprint in regions of the world where strong macroeconomic factors such as urbanization, infrastructure development and sustainability create demand for its products and services.


27



The Timken Business Model is the specific framework for how the Company evaluates opportunities and differentiates itself in the market.
The Company’s Strategy is to apply the Timken Business Model and leverage the Company’s competitive differentiators and strengths to create customer value and drive increased growth and profitability by:

Capturing Opportunities and Expanding Reach. The Company intends to expand into new and existing markets by leveraging its collective knowledge of metallurgy, friction management and mechanical power transmission to create value for Timken customers. Using a highly collaborative technical selling approach, the Company places particular emphasis on creating unique solutions for challenging and/or demanding applications. The Company intends to grow in attractive market sectors around the world, emphasizing those spaces that are highly fragmented, demand high service and value the reliability and efficiency offered by Timken products. The Company also targets those applications that offer significant aftermarket demand, thereby providing product and services revenue throughout the equipment’s lifetime.

Performing With Excellence. Timken operates with a relentless drive for exceptional results and a passion for superior execution. The Company embraces a continuous improvement culture that is charged with increasing efficiency, lowering costs, eliminating waste, encouraging organizational agility and building greater brand equity to fuel future growth. This requires the Company’s ongoing commitment to attract, retain and develop the best talent across the world.

Driving Effective Capital Deployment. The Company is intently focused on providing the highest returns for shareholders through its capital allocation framework, which includes (1) investing in the core business through capital expenditures, research and development and organic growth initiatives like DeltaX; (2) pursuing strategic acquisitions to broaden our portfolio and capabilities, with an focus on bearings, adjacent power transmission products and related services; and (3) returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. As part of this framework, the Company may also restructure, reposition or divest underperforming product lines or assets.

The following items highlight the Company's most recent accomplishments:

On July 8, 2016, the Company acquired Lovejoy, a manufacturer of premium industrial couplings and universal joints, for $63.5 million in cash and assumed debt of $2.5 million. Based in Downers Grove, Illinois, with additional locations in the U.S., Canada and Germany, Lovejoy had sales of approximately $56 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2016.

Continued to advance the Company's manufacturing footprint initiatives with the closure of a bearing facility in the United Kingdom.

The decrease in sales in the second quarter of 2016 compared with the second quarter of 2015 was primarily due to lower end-market demand and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by the net benefit of acquisitions and divestitures. The Company's net income for the second quarter of 2016 was higher than the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to lower material and operating costs, lower selling, general and administrative expenses, lower income tax expense, the addition of CDSOA income recorded during the second quarter of 2016 and lower pension settlement charges. These factors were partially offset by the impact of lower volume across most market sectors, unfavorable price/mix, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and higher restructuring charges.

The decrease in sales for the first six months of 2016 compared with the first six months of 2015 was primarily due to lower end-market demand and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by the net benefit of acquisitions and divestitures. The Company generated net income for the first six months of 2016 compared with a net loss for the first six months of 2015 primarily due to non-cash pretax pension settlement charges of $219.6 million recorded during the first six months of 2015 and pretax CDSOA income of $53.8 million , net of related expenses, recorded during the first six months of 2016 . In addition, the Company's net income in 2016 was impacted by lower volume across most market sectors, higher income tax expense, unfavorable price/mix, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and higher restructuring charges, partially offset by lower material and operating costs and lower selling, general and administrative expenses compared with the first six months of 2015 .

Outlook:
The Company expects 2016 full-year sales to decline approximately 6% compared with 2015 , driven by lower volume across most market sectors and the estimated impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of 1.5%, partially offset by the net benefit of acquisitions and divestitures. The Company's earnings are expected to be higher in 2016 compared with 2015 , primarily due to significantly lower pension settlement charges and the addition of CDSOA income, net of related expenses. Excluding pension settlement charges and CDSOA income, earnings are expected to decline in 2016 compared with 2015, driven by lower volume, unfavorable price/mix and higher restructuring charges. These factors are expected to be partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses and lower material and operating costs.

The Company expects to generate operating cash of approximately $365 million in 2016 , a decrease of approximately $10 million , or 3% , compared with 2015 , as the Company anticipates lower net income excluding non-cash pension settlement and impairment charges, partially offset by CDSOA income and lower tax payments. The Company expects capital expenditures of approximately 5.0% of sales in 2016, compared with 3.7% of sales in 2015.

Net sales decreased for the second quarter of 2016 compared with the second quarter of 2015 , primarily due to lower organic sales of $65 million, the effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $12 million and divestitures of $5 million, partially offset by the benefit of acquisitions of $28 million. The decrease in organic sales volume was driven by lower demand across most of the Company's market sectors, partially offset by growth in the automotive market sector.
Net sales decreased for the first six months of 2016 compared with the first six months of 2015 , primarily due to lower organic sales of $109 million, the effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $32 million and divestitures of $10 million, partially offset by the benefit of acquisitions of $58 million. The decrease in organic sales volume was driven by lower demand across most of the Company's market sectors, partially offset by growth in the automotive market sector.

Impairment and restructuring charges in the second quarter and first six months of 2016 were primarily comprised of severance and related benefit costs of $1.6 million and $9.3 million , respectively, related to initiatives to reduce headcount and right-size the Company's manufacturing footprint, including the planned closure of the Altavista bearing plant. In addition, the Company also recognized impairment charges of $2.4 million associated with the planned closure of the Altavista bearing plant in the first six months of 2016.
Impairment and restructuring charges in the second quarter and first six months of 2015 were primarily due to exit costs of $3.0 million related to the Company's termination of its relationship with one of its third-party sales representatives in Colombia and impairment charges of $3.0 million related to the shutdown of the Company's service center in Niles, Ohio.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, reflects a customary relationship between income tax expense and pretax accounting income based on a mix of expected earnings between the U.S and foreign jurisdictions.
The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2015 was computed based on the expected annual effective tax rate of negative 4.9%, excluding discrete items. At that time, the Company expected tax benefits on expected pretax income with an estimated effective tax rate of negative 8.5%, including discrete items. This rate reflected an expected full year loss in the U.S. primarily driven by pension settlement charges, and earnings in foreign jurisdictions, which was expected to produce a net tax benefit on pretax income.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016, decreased compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to lower taxes on foreign earnings. Refer to the table below for additional detail of the impact of each item on income tax expense.
The effective tax rate for the first six months ended June 30, 2016, increased compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to higher global earnings, partially offset by lower taxes on foreign earnings, higher U.S. foreign tax credits and the U.S. manufacturing deduction and reduced expense related to discrete items. Refer to the table below for additional detail of the impact of each item on income tax expense.

Business Segments

The Company ' s reportable segments are business units that serve different industry sectors. While the segments often operate using shared infrastructure, each reportable segment is managed to address specific customer needs in these diverse market sectors. The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of each segment is EBIT. Refer to Note 12 - Segment Information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the reconciliation of EBIT by segment to consolidated income before income taxes.

The presentation of segment results below includes a reconciliation of the changes in net sales for each segment reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to net sales adjusted to remove the effects of acquisitions and divestitures completed in 2015 and foreign currency exchange rate changes. The effects of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate changes on net sales are removed to allow investors and the Company to meaningfully evaluate the percentage change in net sales on a comparable basis from period to period.

The following items highlight the Company's acquisitions and divestitures completed in 2015.
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company sold all of the outstanding stock of Timken Alcor Aerospace Technologies, Inc. (Alcor). Results for Alcor prior to the sale were reported in the Mobile Industries segment.
During the third quarter of 2015, the Company acquired the membership interests of Timken Belts. Results for Timken Belts are reported in the Mobile Industries and Process Industries segments based on the customers and underlying markets served.

The Mobile Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate changes, decreased $26.7 million or 6.9% in the second quarter of 2016 compared with the second quarter of 2015 . The decline in net sales was primarily driven by a decrease in the off-highway (mainly mining and agriculture), rail, aerospace and heavy truck market sectors, partially offset by organic growth in the automotive market sector. EBIT decreased by $0.7 million or 1.9% in the second quarter of 2016 compared with the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to unfavorable price/mix of $11 million, the impact of lower volume of $8 million, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $3 million, the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures of $2 million and higher restructuring costs of $1 million. These factors were offset by lower material and operating costs of $19 million and lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $6 million.
The Mobile Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate changes, decreased $39.3 million or 5.0% in the first six months of 2016 compared with the first six months of 2015 . The decline in net sales was primarily driven by a decrease in the off-highway (mainly mining and agriculture), rail and aerospace market sectors, partially offset by organic growth in the automotive market sector. EBIT decreased by $5.9 million or 8.3% in the first six months of 2016 compared with the first six months of 2015 primarily due to unfavorable price/mix of $29 million, the impact of lower volume of $11 million, higher restructuring charges of $6 million, the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures of $5 million and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $4 million, partially offset by lower material and operating costs of $39 million and lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $11 million.
Full-year sales for the Mobile Industries segment are expected to be down 6% to 7% in 2016 compared with 2015 . This reflects lower expected volume in the rail, off-highway, aerospace and heavy truck market sectors and the estimated impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of 1.5%, partially offset by growth in the automotive market sector and the net benefit of acquisitions and divestitures. EBIT for the Mobile Industries segment is expected to decrease in 2016 compared with 2015 due to the impact of unfavorable price/mix, lower volume, higher restructuring charges and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by lower material and operating costs and lower selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, 2015 benefited from the gain on the sale of Alcor.

The Process Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions and foreign currency exchange rate changes, decreased $38.7 million or 11.4% in the second quarter of 2016 compared with the same period in 2015 . The decline was primarily due to lower demand across the industrial aftermarket and the heavy industries market sector (mainly oil and gas, metals and power generation), partially offset by an increase in military marine revenue. EBIT decreased $10.0 million or 17.6% in the second quarter of 2016 compared with the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to the impact of lower volume of $16 million and unfavorable price/mix of $3 million, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $9 million and the benefit from acquisitions of $1 million.
The Process Industries segment's net sales, excluding the effects of acquisitions and foreign currency exchange rate changes, decreased $69.9 million or 10.4% in the first six months of 2016 compared with the first six months of 2015 . The decline was primarily due to lower demand across the industrial aftermarket and the heavy industries market sector. EBIT decreased $22.6 million or 22.2% in the first six months of 2016 compared with the first six months of 2015 primarily due to the impact of lower volume of $30 million and unfavorable price/mix of $6 million, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $13 million and lower material and operating costs of $2 million.
Full-year sales for the Process Industries segment are expected to be down 5% to 6% in 2016 compared with 2015 . This reflects weaker demand in the industrial aftermarket and the heavy industries market sector and the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of 2%, partially offset by the benefit of acquisitions. EBIT for the Process Industries segment is expected to decrease in 2016 compared with 2015 primarily due to the impact of lower volume, unfavorable price/mix and foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by lower material and operating costs, lower selling, general and administrative expenses and the impact of acquisitions.

The decrease in short-term debt was primarily due to the classification of the outstanding borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility as long-term, which represented $48.0 million of the short-term debt balance as of December 31, 2015. The outstanding balance under the Accounts Receivable Facility was classified as long-term to align with the term of the agreement and reflect the Company's expectations relative to the minimum borrowing base.
The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to higher days outstanding driven by the Company's initiative to extend payment terms with its suppliers.
The decrease in accrued salaries, wages and benefits was primarily due to the payout of 2015 performance-based compensation of $14.1 million and the payout of stock-based compensation that settled in cash of $6.6 million, partially offset by accruals for 2016 performance-based compensation of $11.6 million.
The increase in income taxes payable in the first six months of 2016 was primarily due to current-year tax expense of $47.6 million, partially offset by tax payments of $21.4 million.
T he decrease in other current liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in restructuring accruals.

Earnings invested in the business in the first six months of 2016 increased by net income attributable to the Company of $107.9 million , partially offset by dividends declared of $41.1 million .
The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily due to pension and postretirement liability adjustments of $12.0 million , partially offset by foreign currency adjustments of $4.9 million . The pension and postretirement liability adjustments were primarily due to amortization of actuarial losses. The foreign currency translation adjustments were due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies, including the British Pound Sterling, the Chinese Renminbi and Indian Rupee. See "Other Matters - Foreign Currency " for further discussion regarding the impact of foreign currency translation.
The increase in treasury shares was primarily due to the Company's purchase of 2.2 million of its common shares for $68.3 million , partially offset by net shares issued for stock compensation plans during the first six months of 2016 .

At June 30, 2016 , approximately $131 million of the Company's $156 million of cash and cash equivalents resided in jurisdictions outside the United States. It is the Company's practice to use available cash in the United States to pay down its Senior Credit Facility or Accounts Receivable Facility, in order to minimize total interest expense. As a result, the majority of the Company's cash on hand was outside the United States. Repatriation of these funds to the United States could be subject to domestic and foreign taxes and some portion may be subject to governmental restrictions. Part of the Company's strategy is to grow in attractive market sectors, many of which are outside the United States. This strategy includes making investments in facilities and equipment and potential new acquisitions. The Company plans to fund these investments, as well as meet working capital requirements, with cash and cash equivalents and unused lines of credit within the geographic location of these investments where possible.

The Company has a $100 million Accounts Receivable Facility, which matures on November 30, 2018 . The Accounts Receivable Facility is subject to certain borrowing base limitations and is secured by certain domestic accounts receivable of the Company. Certain borrowing base limitations reduced the availability of the Accounts Receivable Facility to $74.4 million at June 30, 2016 . As of June 30, 2016 , the Company had $61 million in outstanding borrowings, which reduced the availability under the facility to $13.4 million. The interest rate on the Accounts Receivable Facility is variable and was 1.29% as of June 30, 2016 , which reflects the prevailing commercial paper rate plus facility fees.

The Company has a $500 million Senior Credit Facility, which matures on June 19, 2020. At December 31, 2015, the Senior Credit Facility had outstanding borrowings of $38.4 million , which reduced the availability to $461.6 million . Under the Senior Credit Facility, the Company has two financial covenants: a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. At June 30, 2016 , the Company was in full compliance with the covenants under the Senior Credit Facility and its other debt agreements. The maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.5 to 1.0 (3.75 to 1.0 for a limited period up to four quarters following an acquisition with a purchase price of $200 million or greater). As of June 30, 2016 , the Company's consolidated leverage ratio was 1.5 to 1.0. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio permitted under the Senior Credit Facility is 3.5 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company's consolidated interest coverage ratio was 13.2 to 1.0.

The interest rate under the Senior Credit Facility is variable with a spread based on the Company's debt rating. This rate was 1.57% as of June 30, 2016 . In addition, the Company pays a facility fee based on the consolidated leverage ratio multiplied by the aggregate commitments of all of the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility.

Other sources of liquidity include short-term lines of credit for certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, which provide for borrowings of up to approximately $221.4 million . Most of these credit lines are uncommitted. At June 30, 2016 , the Company had borrowings outstanding of $13.4 million and bank guarantees of $1.4 million , which reduced the availability under these facilities to $206.6 million .

The Company expects that any cash requirements in excess of cash on hand and cash generated from operating activities will be met by the committed funds available under its Accounts Receivable Facility and the Senior Credit Facility. Management believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations through at least the term of the Senior Credit Facility.

The Company expects to remain in compliance with its debt covenants. However, the Company may need to limit its borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility or other facilities in order to remain in compliance. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company could have borrowed the full amounts available under the Senior Credit Facility and Accounts Receivable Facility, and would have still been in compliance with its debt covenants.
      
The Company expects cash from operations of approximately $365 million in 2016 , a decrease of approximately $10 million from 2015 , driven by lower net income, excluding non-cash pension settlement and impairment charges, partially offset by CDSOA receipts and lower tax payments. The Company expects capital expenditures of approximately 5.0% of sales in 2016 , compared with 3.7% of sales in 2015 .


45



Financing Obligations and Other Commitments:

During the first six months of 2016 , the Company made contributions of $8.3 million to its global defined benefit pension plans. The Company currently expects to make contributions to its global defined benefit pension plans in 2016 totaling approximately $15 million . Returns for the Company's global defined benefit pension plan assets in 2015  were 0.61%, which was below the expected rate of return of 6.0% predominantly due to decreases in long duration fixed-income markets. The lower returns were largely offset by the impact of a 49 basis point increase in discount rates used to measure the Company's defined benefit pension obligations. Since 2014, the Company has been increasing the percentage of U.S. plan assets allocated to long duration fixed-income and decreasing the exposure to equities in an effort to preserve its over-funded status in the U.S. Returns for the Company's U.S. defined benefit plan pension assets for the first six months of 2016 were approximately 11.9%. The Company expects to record pension expense of approximately $60 million for 2016 , compared with pension expense of $488.7 million in 2015 . The majority of the decrease in pension expenses for 2016 is due to lower pension settlement charges in 2016 compared with 2015 due to the two pension annuity purchases in 2015 .
 
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or other persons.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Company reviews its critical accounting policies throughout the year. The Company has concluded that there have been no significant changes to its critical accounting policies or estimates, as described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 , during the six months ended June 30, 2016 .


46



Other Matters

Foreign Currency:

Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing each month during the quarter. Related translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company recorded a negative foreign currency translation adjustment of $4.9 million that decreased shareholders' equity, compared with a negative foreign currency translation adjustment of $20.7 million that decreased shareholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The foreign currency translation adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , were negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies, including the British Pound Sterling, the Chinese Renminbi and Indian Rupee.

Foreign currency exchange losses resulting from transactions included in the Company's operating results for the second quarter of 2016 were $1.8 million, compared with a gain of $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2015 . Foreign currency exchange losses resulting from transactions included in the Company's operating results for the first six months of 2016 were $3.1 million, compared with a loss of $0.5 million during the first six months of 2015 .

Section 15. Shareholder Nominations Included in the Corporation’s Proxy Materials.

(a)    Inclusion of Nominee in Proxy Statement. Subject to the provisions of this Section 15, if expressly requested in the relevant Nomination Notice (as defined below), the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement for any annual meeting of shareholders:
(i)    the name of any person nominated for election (the “Nominee”), which shall also be included on the Corporation’s form of proxy and ballot, by any Eligible Holder (as defined below) or group of up to 20 Eligible Holders that has (individually and collectively, in the case of a group) satisfied, as determined by the Directors or their designee, acting in good faith, all applicable conditions and complied with all applicable procedures set forth in this Section 15 (such Eligible Holder or group of Eligible Holders being a “Nominating Shareholder”);
(ii)    disclosure about the Nominee and the Nominating Shareholder required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other applicable law to be included in the proxy statement;
(iii)    any statement included by the Nominating Shareholder in the Nomination Notice for inclusion in the proxy statement in support of the Nominee’s election as a Director (subject, without limitation, to Section 15(e)(ii) of this Article I), if such statement does not exceed 500 words; and
(iv)    any other information that the Corporation or the Directors determine, in their discretion, to include in the proxy statement relating to the nomination of the Nominee, including, without limitation, any statement in opposition to the nomination and any of the information provided pursuant to this Section 15.
(b)    Maximum Number of Nominees.


7



(i)    The Corporation shall not be required to include in the proxy statement for an annual meeting of shareholders more Nominees than the greater of (x) that number of Directors constituting 20% of the total number of Directors of the Corporation on the last day on which a Nomination Notice may be submitted pursuant to this Section 15 (rounded down to the nearest whole number) and (y) two (such greater number, the “Maximum Number”). The Maximum Number for a particular annual meeting shall be reduced by: (1) Nominees who are subsequently withdrawn or that the Directors decide to nominate for election at such annual meeting and (2) the number of incumbent Directors who had been Nominees with respect to any of the preceding two annual meetings of shareholders and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting is being recommended by the Directors. In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board after the deadline set forth in Section 15(d) of this Article I below but before the date of the annual meeting, and the Directors resolve to reduce the size of the Board in connection therewith, the Maximum Number shall be calculated based on the number of Directors in office as so reduced.
(ii)    If the number of Nominees pursuant to this Section 15 for any annual meeting of shareholders exceeds the Maximum Number then, promptly upon notice from the Corporation, each Nominating Shareholder will select one Nominee for inclusion in the proxy statement until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of the ownership position as disclosed in each Nominating Shareholder’s Nomination Notice, with the process repeated if the Maximum Number is not reached after each Nominating Shareholder has selected one Nominee. If, after the deadline for submitting a Nomination Notice as set forth in Section 15(d) of this Article I, a Nominating Shareholder becomes ineligible or withdraws its nomination or a Nominee becomes unwilling to serve as a Director, whether before or after the mailing of the definitive proxy statement, then the nomination shall be disregarded, and the Corporation: (1) shall not be required to include in its proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy the disregarded Nominee or any successor or replacement nominee proposed by the Nominating Shareholder or by any other Nominating Shareholder and (2) may otherwise communicate to its shareholders, including without limitation by amending or supplementing its proxy statement or ballot or form of proxy, that the Nominee will not be included as a Nominee in the proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy and will not be voted on at the annual meeting.
(c)    Eligibility of Nominating Shareholder.
(i)    An “Eligible Holder” is a person who has either (1) been a record holder of the common shares used to satisfy the eligibility requirements in this Section 15(c) continuously for the three-year period specified in Subsection (ii) below or (2) provides to the Secretary of the Corporation, within the time period referred to in Section 15(d) of this Article I, evidence of continuous ownership of such shares for such three-year period from one or more securities intermediaries in a form that the Directors or their designee, acting in good faith, determine would be deemed acceptable for purposes of a shareholder proposal under Rule 14a-8(b)(2) under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule).
(ii)    An Eligible Holder or group of up to 20 Eligible Holders may submit a nomination in accordance with this Section 15 only if the person or group (in the aggregate) has continuously owned at least the Minimum Number (as defined below) of the Corporation’s common shares throughout the three-year period preceding and including the date of submission of the Nomination Notice, and continues to own at least the Minimum Number through the date of the annual meeting. A group of funds under common management and investment control shall be treated as one Eligible Holder if such Eligible Holder shall provide together with the Nomination Notice documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation that demonstrates that the funds are under common management and investment control. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a nomination by a group of Eligible Holders, any and all requirements and obligations for an individual Eligible Holder that are set forth in this Section 15, including the minimum holding period, shall apply to each member of such group; provided, however, that the Minimum Number shall apply to the ownership of the group in the aggregate. Should any shareholder withdraw from a group of Eligible Holders at any time prior to the annual meeting of shareholders, the group of Eligible Shareholders shall only be deemed to own the shares held by the remaining members of the group.
(iii)    The “Minimum Number” of the Corporation’s common shares means 3% of the number of outstanding common shares as of the most recent date for which such amount is given in any filing by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the submission of the Nomination Notice.


8



(iv)    For purposes of this Section 15, an Eligible Holder “owns” only those outstanding shares of the Corporation as to which the Eligible Holder possesses both:
(A)    the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares; and
(B)    the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided that the number of common shares calculated in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) shall not include any common shares: (1) sold by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (2) borrowed by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates for any purpose or purchased by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell, or (3) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement (including any derivative securities, as defined under Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) entered into by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with common shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding common shares of the Corporation, in any such case which such instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of: (x) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such Eligible Holder’s or any of its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such common shares, and/or (y) hedging, offsetting, or altering to any degree, gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such common shares by such Eligible Holder or any of its affiliates.
An Eligible Holder “owns” common shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the Eligible Holder retains the right to instruct how the common shares are voted with respect to the election of Directors and possesses the full economic interest in the common shares. An Eligible Holder’s ownership of common shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the Eligible Holder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other similar instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the Eligible Holder. An Eligible Holder’s ownership of common shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the Eligible Holder has loaned such common shares provided that the Eligible Holder has the power to recall such loaned common shares on five business days’ notice and has recalled such loaned common shares as of the date of the Nomination Notice and holds such common shares through the date of the annual meeting. The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings. Whether outstanding common shares of the Corporation are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Directors.
(v)    No person shall be permitted to be in more than one group constituting a Nominating Shareholder, and if any person appears as a member of more than one group, it shall be deemed to be a member of the group that has the largest ownership position as reflected in the Nomination Notice.
(d)    Nomination Notice. To nominate a Nominee, the Nominating Shareholder must, no earlier than 150 calendar days and no later than 120 calendar days before the anniversary of the date that the Corporation issued its proxy statement for the prior year’s annual meeting of shareholders, submit to the Secretary at the Corporation’s principal executive offices all of the following information and documents (collectively, the “Nomination Notice”); provided, however, that if (and only if) the annual meeting is not scheduled to be held within a period that commences 30 days before such anniversary date and ends 30 days after such anniversary date (an annual meeting date outside such period being referred to herein as an “Other Meeting Date”), the Nomination Notice shall be given in the manner provided herein by the later of the close of business on the date that is 180 days prior to such Other Meeting Date or the tenth day following the date such Other Meeting Date is first publicly announced or disclosed:
(i)    A Schedule 14N (or any successor form) relating to the Nominee, completed and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Nominating Shareholder as applicable, in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission;

ARTICLE II
BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 1. Election, Number and Term of Office

Directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of shareholders, or if not so elected, at a special meeting of shareholders called for that purpose pursuant to Section 2 of Article I. Except as otherwise provided in these Regulations, a Director shall hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting and until his successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation, death or removal from office.
At any meeting of shareholders at which Directors are to be elected, only persons may be nominated as candidates with respect to whom proxies have been solicited from the holders of shares entitled to be voted at the meeting; provided that if any such candidate is unable, for any reason, to accept such nomination or to serve as a Director, another person may be substituted as a nominee, or the number of nominees may be reduced to such extent as deemed advisable, by the Directors then in office or the approval of a majority of votes cast.
Until changed in accordance with the provisions of statute, the Articles or these Regulations, the number of Directors of the Corporation shall be eleven. Without amendment of these Regulations, the number of Directors may be changed to not less than nine nor more than eighteen by the approval of a majority of votes cast at a meeting called to elect Directors. No reduction in the number of Directors shall have the effect of removing any Director prior to the expiration of his term of office.
Until the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders, the Directors shall be divided into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, each class consisting of not less than three Directors nor more than six Directors each. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of Directors. Each class or Director of any class being elected at any election of Directors held prior to the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders shall be separately elected.





13



At the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders, Directors elected for Class I shall hold office for a term of three years expiring at the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders and thereafter until their successors shall be elected and duly qualified. At the 2011 annual meeting of shareholders, Directors elected for Class II shall hold office for a term of two years expiring at the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders and thereafter until their successors shall be elected and duly qualified. At the 2012 annual meeting of shareholders, Directors elected for Class III shall hold office for a term of one year expiring at the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders and thereafter until their successors shall be elected and duly qualified. At each election of Directors after the 2012 annual meeting of shareholders, each Director shall be elected to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and thereafter until his successor shall be elected and duly qualified.
The number of Directors fixed as provided in this Section 1 may be increased or decreased by the Directors and the number of Directors as so changed shall be the number of Directors until further changed in accordance with this Section 1, provided that the Directors shall not increase the number of Directors to more than eighteen or decrease the number of Directors to fewer than nine. If the number of Directors is changed prior to the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of Directors in each class as nearly equal as possible.
Section 2. Director Qualifications

No person is eligible to serve as a Director of the Corporation unless he or she has delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a written representation and agreement (in a form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that meets the requirements set forth in Section 13(b)(ii)(E) or Section 15(d)(ii)(A) of Article 1, as applicable.
Section 3. Vacancies

Any vacancy or vacancies among the Directors may be filled by the Directors then in office. Until the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders, any Director elected to fill a vacancy may be elected for the term remaining for the Directors of any class, provided that each class shall continue to consist of not less than three Directors and the number of Directors in each class shall continue to be as nearly equal as possible. From and after the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders, any Director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected until the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders and thereafter until his successor shall be elected and duly qualified.
Section 4. Removal

A Director may be removed from office, as permitted by statute, by the Directors then in office or by the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to be voted to elect Directors in place of those to be removed. For the purpose of determining “the Directors then in office”, the Director whose removal is proposed will not be deemed to be a Director, nor will such Director be entitled to vote thereon.
Section 5. Meetings

Meetings of the Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President, the Secretary, or by not less than one-third of the Directors then in office. Meetings of the Directors may be held at any place within or without the state of Ohio and through any communications equipment if all persons participating can hear each other and participation in a meeting through such communication equipment constitutes presence at such meeting. Notice of the time and place of such meetings shall be given to each Director each either by personal delivery or by mail, overnight delivery service, or any other means of communication authorized by such Director at least one day before the meeting. The notice need not specify the purpose(s) of the meeting. Such notice may be waived in writing by any Director, either before or after the meeting. Attendance at any meeting of Directors by a Director without protesting, prior to or at the commencement of the meeting, the lack of proper notice, constitutes waiver by such Director of notice of the meeting.




14



Section 6. Quorum

A majority of the Directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting. Except as otherwise provided by statute or by these Regulations, the act of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Directors. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of Directors present may adjourn any meeting from time to time without notice until a quorum is present.
Section 7. Committees

The Directors may from time to time create a committee or committees of Directors to act in the intervals between meetings of the Directors and may delegate to such committee or committees any of the authority of the Directors, except as limited by statute.
In particular, the Directors may create from its membership and define the powers and duties of an Executive Committee of not less than three members. Except to the extent that its powers are limited by the Directors or by statute, the Executive Committee during the intervals between meetings of the Directors shall possess and may exercise under the control and direction of the Directors all of the powers of the Directors in the management and control of the business of the Corporation regardless of whether such powers are specifically conferred by these Regulations. All action taken by the Executive Committee shall be reported to the Directors at their first meeting thereafter.
Unless otherwise provided by the Directors, a majority of the members of any committee appointed by the Directors pursuant to this Section 7 shall constitute a quorum at any meeting thereof and the act of a majority of the members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee. Action may be taken by any such committee without a meeting by a writing signed by all its members. Any such committee shall prescribe its own rules for calling and holding meetings and its method of procedure, subject to any rules prescribed by the Directors, and shall keep a written record of all action taken by it.
Section 8. Compensation

Directors and members of any committee of the Directors shall receive such compensation from the Corporation, which may be either a specified sum payable at intervals, and/or a fixed sum for attendance at each Directors or committee meeting or as otherwise determined by the Directors. No Director and no member of any committee of the Directors shall be disqualified from being counted in the determination of a quorum at any meeting of either the Directors or a committee by reason of the fact that matters affecting his own compensation as a Director, member of a committee, an officer or employee are to be determined. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving proper compensation from the Corporation for such service.

Any person claiming a certificate for shares to have been lost, stolen or destroyed shall make an affidavit or affirmation of that fact shall give the Corporation and its registrar or registrars and its transfer agent or agents a bond of indemnity satisfactory to the Directors or officers of the Corporation, and, if required by the Directors or officers, shall advertise the same in such manner as may be required, whereupon a new certificate may be issued of the same tenor and for the same number of shares as the one alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
Section 3. Voting Upon Shares Held by the Corporation

Unless otherwise ordered by the Directors, the Executive Committee may appoint the Chairman of the Board, the President or any officer of the Corporation to have full power and authority, in person or by proxy, on behalf of the Corporation to vote, act and consent with respect to any shares issued by other corporations which the Corporation may own.
Section 4. Corporate Seal

The seal of the Corporation shall be circular in form with the name of the Corporation stamped around the margin and the word “Seal” stamped across the center.
Section 5. Articles to Govern

In case any provision of these Regulations shall be inconsistent with the Articles of Incorporation, the Articles of Incorporation shall govern.
Section 6. Amendments

These Regulations may be amended (i) to the extent permitted by Chapter 1701 of the Ohio Revised Code, by the Directors, or (ii) by the affirmative vote of the holders of record entitled to exercise a majority of the voting power on such proposal, if such proposal has been recommended by a vote of the Directors then in office as being in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders.
Section 7. Emergency Regulations

The Directors may adopt emergency regulations, either before or during an emergency, as that term is defined in the Ohio Revised Code, or in any other relevant law in effect at the time of the adoption of the emergency regulations. Such regulations shall be operative only during an emergency, notwithstanding any different provisions elsewhere in these Regulations.
