ITEM 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On December 6, 2004, we announced changes in the strategy and business model for our Dockers® business in Europe, and certain actions to be taken in connection with such changes. At that time, we stated that we were unable to make a good faith estimate of the amount of charges that we expected to incur in connection with such actions or the amount of such charges that would result in future cash expenditures, but that once we formulated such estimates, we would disclose them in accordance with Form 8-K.
We now estimate that the amount we expect to incur in connection with such actions is approximately $7.7 million, as shown in the table below:
| | | | | | |

We expect to incur the majority of such charges in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2005 and to pay such cash expenditures during those periods. However, these projections are subject to change as negotiations with local works councils progress and additional facts and circumstances arise.
