Loss on Disposal of Plant

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded expense of $11.6 million, respectively, within other expense (income), as a result of the sale of one of the Company’s manufacturing facilities within the Proprietary Products segment. The transaction closed during the second quarter of 2023.

Restructuring and Related Charges

In December 2022, the Company approved a restructuring plan to adjust our operating cost base to better respond to the macroeconomic factors influencing our business. These changes are expected to be implemented over a period of up to twenty-four months from the date of approval. The plan is expected to require restructuring and related charges of approximately $25 million to $27 million, with annualized savings in the range of $22 million to $24 million. The following table presents activity related to our restructuring obligations related to our 2022 restructuring plan:
