The change to the SICAD rate resulted in a  charge of $17 during the first quarter of 2014.After remaining relatively unchanged during the second quarter the SICAD rate  declined to 12.0 bolivars per U.S. dollar at September 30, 2014, resulting in a remeasurement char ge of $3 during the third  quarter. During 2014 we realized gains of $8 as CENCOEX approved a portion of our pending claims to settle U.S. dollar  obligations at the official exchange rate of 6.3. Also during 2014 we realized net gains of $14 on sales and purchases of U.S.  dollars through SICAD 2 at average rates of  49.9 bolivars per U.S. dollar. The foreign exchange gains and losses associated  with our Venezuelan subsidiaries are included in the segment EBITDA  of our Light Vehicle operating segment. Foreign  exchange loss for 2013 includes a first quarter char ge of $6 resulting from the February 2013 devaluation of  Venezuela's  official exchange rate from  4.3 to 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar. The charge was largely recovered over the balance of 2013 as  the Venezuelan government allowed certain transactions to be settled at the former exchange rate. Strategic transaction expenses relate primarily to costs incurred in connection with acquisition and divestiture related  activities. As discussed in Note 13 above, during 2013 we wrote of f previously deferred financing costs associated with our prior  revolving credit facility and our terminated European Facility .
