2025 Restructuring Plan
On September 24, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to align our support infrastructure to further optimize organizational effectiveness. This action includes headcount reductions across our Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) and manufacturing cost base and capacity realignment (the “2025 Restructuring Plan”).
The 2025 Restructuring Plan, totaling approximately $200 million in pre-tax restructuring and other related costs, was substantially complete as of November 30, 2025.
