The proposed reorganization contemplates the possible closure of the Company's carton operation at Oldbury, West Midlands in the United Kingdom (the "Birmingham" site). A copy of the press release, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report, is incorporated herein by reference. Under the proposed reorganization, production of the products manufactured at the Birmingham facility would be transferred to other Company sites in Europe. The proposed closure, which would take place over the next six months, could result in up to 190 redundancies. The proposed reorganization and the ultimate amount and timing of employee-related costs, including severance, pension and other termination costs are subject to negotiation and consultation with employee representatives, and as such, the costs and timing are not currently determinable. However, it is anticipated that the Company may incur and recognize cash restructuring costs during 2005 and 2006 relating to severance and other employee costs. Chesapeake will file an amended Form 8-K upon determining the total expense to be incurred related to the proposed reorganization. This periodic report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements. Actual events or results may differ materially from those statements. For information about factors that could cause such differences, please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended January 2, 2005, including information set forth under the caption, "Forward-Looking Statements". |
