Item 2.05.     Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On July 19, 2016, Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (the “Company”) disclosed that as part of its cost reduction and restructuring plan previously announced on November 19, 2015, the Company will transfer all wire harness production from its manufacturing facility in Monona, Iowa, to its facility in Agua Prieta, Mexico. In connection with this transfer of production, the Company estimates that it will record in the current and future fiscal quarters total charges of approximately $2.0 to $2.5 million, consisting of employee related costs of approximately $0.5 to $0.7 million, capital expenditures of approximately $1.0 to $1.2 million and facility exit and other contractual costs of approximately $0.5 to $0.6 million. The Company estimates that approximately $2.0 to $2.3 million of the total charges will be incurred as future cash expenditures. The transfer of production from the Monona facility to the Agua Prieta facility is expected to be substantially completed by March 31, 2017.
On July 21, 2016, the Company disclosed that as part of its cost reduction and restructuring plan previously announced on November 19, 2015, the Company will close its Shadyside, Ohio, facility that performs assembly and stamping activities, which activities will be transferred to alternative facilities or sourced to local suppliers. In connection with the closure of the Shadyside facility, the Company estimates that it will record in the current and future fiscal quarters total charges of approximately $3.5 to $4.5 million, consisting of employee related costs of approximately $1.0 to $1.3 million, capital expenditures of approximately $0.4 to $0.7 million and facility exit and other contractual costs of approximately $2.1 to $2.5 million. The Company estimates that approximately $3.3 to $4.3 million of the total charges will be incurred as future cash expenditures. The closure of the Shadyside facility is expected to be substantially completed by June 30, 2017.
On July 21, 2016, the Company disclosed the closure of its administrative offices in Wixom, Michigan. In connection with the closure of the Wixom office, the Company will incur immaterial charges.
At the time of the November 19, 2015 announcement of cost reduction and restructuring plan, the Company estimated pre-tax costs of $12 to $19 million, which is now lowered to $10 to $14 million. When fully implemented by the end 2017, the cost reduction and restructuring plan previously announced on November 19, 2015 is expected to lower annualized operating costs by $8 to $12 million.
The amounts and timing may vary materially based upon various factors. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” below.

On July 21, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing the closure of the Monona facility, Shadyside facility, and the Wixom office. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
