This facility supplies color photographic paper for the Latin American markets. This action reflects the Company's plan to manage its manufacturing plants as worldwide assets based on global capacity requirements. The company had earlier announced the transfer of other operations performed in Sao Jose to Manaus, Brazil, and to facilities in the U.S. In conjunction with the closure of this facility, the Company will incur restructuring-related charges of approximately $48 million. Included in these charges is accelerated depreciation on buildings and plant equipment of approximately $28 million (through December 31, 2005), employee severance of approximately $11 million, and other exit costs of approximately $9 million. The severance and other exit costs require the outlay of cash, while the accelerated depreciation represents a non-cash charge. This action is a part of the Company's restructuring program that was announced on January 22, 2004. The Company expects that it will continue to consolidate its worldwide manufacturing operations in order to eliminate excess capacity. 3 SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
