The restructuring, expected to be completed by the end of 2027, will result in 85 job reductions and pre-tax charges of $55 million to $75 million related to plant exit costs and other non-cash and asset-related expenditures, according to the filing. The company expects to record $35 million of charges in Q3 and $15 million during the remainder of this year, the filing stated.
