RESTRUCTURING PROGRAMS

2024 Network Optimization

In March 2024, we announced a restructuring program designed to more effectively and efficiently meet the needs of consumers and customers. The program initially included the closure of our manufacturing facility in Williston, Vermont, with operations and employees relocating to other existing manufacturing locations. The relocation began during the second quarter of 2024 and was completed in the third quarter of 2024. In July 2024, we also announced the closure of our Windsor, Virginia manufacturing facility, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025. Our restructuring program also encompasses other costs intended to optimize our manufacturing and distribution footprint throughout our operations.

The restructuring program is expected to incur pre-tax restructuring charges in an estimated range of $125 million to $145 million, primarily comprised of asset related costs, through the second half of 2025.

2023 CEO Succession and Associated Realignment

In 2023, we began to enact several organization movements to ensure succession plans, to reinforce enterprise capabilities to support growth, and to control costs. A key component of the program was the appointment of Tim Cofer as Chief Operating Officer, effective November 6, 2023, with Mr. Cofer succeeding Robert Gamgort as our CEO during the second quarter of 2024. We also realigned our executive and operating leadership structure to enable faster decision making and to better support various strategic initiatives. The program is expected to incur charges of approximately $85 million, primarily driven by severance costs, which were substantially completed as of December 31, 2024, and the sign-on bonus for Mr. Cofer.
