Item 2.05               Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

 

On September 18, 2008, Cephalon, Inc. (the “Company”), through its subsidiary Cephalon France SAS,  informed the French Works Councils of its intention to search for a potential buyer of the Company’s manufacturing facility at Mitry-Mory, France (the “Proposed Divestiture ”).  The Company is considering the Proposed Divestiture due to a reduction of manufacturing activities at the Mitry-Mory manufacturing site.  The Proposed Divestiture is subject to completion of a formal consultation process with the French Works Councils and employees representatives.

 

At this stage, the Company is in the initial phase of the project and is not in a position to estimate the range of amounts expected to be incurred in connection with the Proposed Divestiture or the amount or range of amounts of any potential charges or related cash outlays.  The Company will provide such information in the form of an amendment to this Form 8-K as the Proposed Divestiture is further developed and implemented.
