Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On September 10, 2015, Analogic Corporation approved a plan of restructuring (which we refer to as the plan) that includes the transition of certain manufacturing activities from our Peabody, Massachusetts location to our existing facility in Shanghai, China, a reduction in force in order to align our research and development investment with expected customer funding in our Security and Detection Business, and a voluntary retirement program available to eligible employees in the affected areas of our Peabody facility. These actions are expected to impact about 90 workers in our Peabody facility.

We expect to complete the implementation of the plan by the end of fiscal 2016. We expect to incur total pre-tax charges of approximately $6 million, consisting of (i) employee termination charges, including charges in connection with the voluntary retirement program, of approximately $5 million; and (ii) manufacturing transition costs of approximately $1 million. Of this amount, we expect to incur charges of approximately $3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and the balance in the remainder of fiscal 2016. We expect that substantially all of the above charges will result in future cash expenditures.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to employee separation and other costs that differ from the original estimates, the timing of future actions, and the factors discussed in our most recent quarterly report on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements represent our views as of the date of this Current Report and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any future date. We specifically disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
