The furnace and plant closures are expected to occur within the next six months. The Company intends to facilitate the closures in a respectful manner for the approximately 200 people impacted.

Subject to finalization of certain estimates, the Company expects to record charges associated with the above closures of approximately $20 million in the third quarter of 2024. Major components of the charges include approximately $14 million for impairment of plant-related assets, such as furnaces and machinery, and $6 million for one-time employee separation benefits and other costs related to the closings (of which approximately $5 million relate to future cash expenditures).

It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. Any forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances.
