Item 2.05   Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
     On June 18, 2007, Molex Incorporated (“Molex”) filed a current report on Form 8-K regarding its multi-year plan to implement restructuring initiatives designed to reduce costs and improve return on invested capital in connection with the new global organization launched on July 1, 2007. Molex is filing this Form 8-K/A to amend the June 18, 2007 Form 8-K to update the disclosure therein.
     Molex’s initial estimates were that the total pre-tax charge related to this restructuring effort would be $100 to $125 million over the fiscal year 2007 fourth quarter and fiscal years 2008 and 2009, and that the restructuring charge would be made up of headcount reductions, realignment of manufacturing capacity and certain plant closures. The plan is proceeding on schedule and we remain committed to achieving our operating profit goal. The cost reduction savings are as expected, however the benefit to incremental profit has been diminished by inflation and rising raw material costs. While recent trends in raw material costs have been positive, we believe it prudent to remain focused on operating cost reduction. As a result, the scope of the restructuring program will be increased. The revised estimate for annual pretax savings is $100 million to $120 million, and for a total pretax restructuring charge of $125 million to $140 million. These actions are expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2010.
