Item 2.05 · Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
- • "Project Catalyst" targets ~$100M pre-tax savings over two years via plant closures and asset decommissions
- • Fieldsboro, NJ site closure plus select asset decommissions at Millsdale, IL and Stalybridge, UK — all by mid-2026
- • Total 2026 restructuring charges estimated $70–$80M, with $52–$62M front-loaded into Q1 2026
- • Cash outflows projected $29–$44M; non-cash charges (write-downs) projected $58–$62M over project life
- • Heavy Q1 charge signals near-term EPS pressure, but $100M savings target implies meaningful margin recovery if execution holds

- • Reg FD disclosure references press release (Exhibit 99.1) as primary source of material information — actual substance resides there
- • Boilerplate forward-looking statement disclaimer covering restructuring actions, including facility closures and asset decommissioning
- • Key risk flags flagged explicitly: execution of facility closures, operational disruptions, employee impacts, environmental compliance, and realization of cost savings
- • Tariffs, raw material volatility, and global trade policy cited as ongoing macro risk factors specific to SCL's business model
