The Company’s Board of Directors approves all major restructuring programs that may involve the discontinuance of significant product lines or the shutdown of significant facilities. From time to time, the Company takes additional restructuring actions, including involuntary terminations that are not part of a major program. The Company accounts for these costs in the period in which the liability is incurred. These costs are included in restructuring charges in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

2021 France Actions

On June 25, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a restructuring program with respect to the Company’s operating facilities in France, within its Europe operating segment. The restructuring program includes the shutdown of the Company’s manufacturing facility in Méry, France and the consolidation of that facility’s operations primarily into the Company’s facilities in Virey-le-Grand and Hautvillers, France. The total pre-tax restructuring charges associated with the program were initially estimated to be approximately $26.3 million. As of March 27, 2022, the Company reduced its total expected pre-tax charges for the program to approximately $23.7 million, primarily related to lower severance and outplacement costs than initially estimated. The total expected charges include costs for employees severance, relocation of equipment, clean-up of the facility and certain asset write-downs, and will result in the elimination of approximately 80 positions at the Méry, France facility. As a result of the facility consolidations, the net headcount reduction in France is expected to be approximately 40 positions. Total net after-tax charges for this restructuring program are expected to be approximately $17.5 million (including approximately $2.0 million in non-cash charges), with costs being incurred through the second half of 2022, at which time the restructuring program is expected to be completed. The Company expects to spend approximately $0.7 million in capital expenditures to consolidate operations, of which $0.6 million was spent as of March 27, 2022. Annual cash savings, net of tax, are estimated to be approximately $3.0 million, which the Company expects to fully realize by 2023.
