Explanatory Note
The Timken Company, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on September 9, 2014 announcing certain restructuring actions in its aerospace business (the “Original 8-K”). In the Original 8-K, non-cash charges relating to (a) goodwill and (b) inventory and fixed asset impairments were inadvertently listed as approximately $25 million and $75 million, respectively. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to correct this error. The third paragraph under Item 2.05 of the Original 8-K should be replaced in its entirety with the paragraph below.
Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
In connection with the restructuring actions, the Company expects to incur total pre-tax charges of approximately $110 million to $130 million consisting of: (i) non-cash charges of $110 million to $120 million that will be recorded in the third quarter, which primarily relate to an impairment of goodwill of approximately $75 million and inventory and fixed asset impairments totaling approximately $25 million; and (ii) cash charges that are expected to be less than $10 million, primarily consisting of severance costs that will be recorded as incurred.
