Section 2 Financial Information
Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On June 7, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a closure plan for its
Landing Gear business which includes the closing of a manufacturing facility at 8000 Marble Avenue
in Cleveland, Ohio (the Marble facility). Due to declining program volumes and excess capacity,
the Company anticipates it will close the Marble facility by the end of 2012. Certain landing gear
equipment at the Marble facility will be transferred to the Companys other Landing Gear
facilities.
The Company anticipates that, in connection with implementing the closure plan, it will record
pre-tax charges of approximately $39 million, of which approximately $17 million relates to
personnel related expenses, including severance, the impact of pension charges, outplacement
services and assistance with employment transitioning, and approximately $22 million primarily
related to facility closure and other costs, including accelerated depreciation, equipment
dismantle and relocation costs and lease termination costs. The estimated timing for the charges
is described below:
Second Quarter 2011 Charge. In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company will record a
charge of approximately $16 million, of which $14 million relates to personnel related expenses and
$2 million relates to facility closure and other costs.
Future Charges. The vast majority of the remaining closure charges are expected to be incurred
in 2012.
The Company expects that the closure plan will result in aggregate cash expenditures of
approximately $23 million. The Company expects that substantially all of the cash expenditures will
be made by the end of fiscal 2012.
A press release detailing the Companys closure plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and
incorporated by reference herein.
Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains both historical and forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are not based on historical facts but instead reflect our expectations, estimates or
projections concerning future results or events, including, without limitation, our expectations as

identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as believe, expect,
anticipate, may, could, intend, intent, belief, estimate, plan, likely, will,
should or other similar words or phrases. These statements are not guarantees of performance and
are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult
to predict and could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially
from those expressed in or indicated by those statements. We cannot assure you that any of our
expectations, estimates or projections will be achieved.
The forward-looking statements included in this document are only made as of the date of this

subsequent events or circumstances.
Numerous factors could cause our actual results and events to differ materially from those

the preliminary nature of the estimates related to the closure initiatives, and the
possibility they may change as Company management develops and finalizes its plans; |
|
|
|
|
the Companys ability to timely implement the closure plan in a manner that will
positively impact our financial condition and results of operation; |
|
|
|
|
the impact of the closure plan on the Companys relationships with its employees,
its major customers and vendors; |
|
|
|
|
unanticipated expenses and charges that might occur as a result of the closure plan; |
|
|
|
|
litigation risks, including litigation regarding employment and workers
compensation; |
|
|
|
|
the Companys ability to improve operations and realize cost savings; and |
|
|

economic conditions. |
The list of factors above is illustrative, but by no means exhaustive. All forward-looking
