Item 2.05. Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities.
Ford India Private Limited (“Ford India”), a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company (the “Company”), announced today that it plans to exit its engine and vehicle manufacturing operations at its facilities in Chennai and its vehicle manufacturing operation at its facility in Sanand. The plan was approved on September 7, 2021, and affected employees were notified today. As a result of these actions, Ford India plans to cease vehicle manufacturing in Sanand by fourth quarter 2021 and Chennai by second quarter 2022.
In connection with this announcement, the Company currently expects to record pre-tax special item charges of about $2.0 billion, including about $0.6 billion in 2021, about $1.2 billion in 2022, and the balance in subsequent years. The charges will include about $0.3 billion of non-cash charges, including accelerated depreciation and amortization. The remaining cash charges of about $1.7 billion will be paid primarily in 2022 and are attributable to separation, termination, settlement, and other payments.
For 2021, the Company continues to expect global redesign EBIT charges to be in the range of $2.2 billion to $2.7 billion, and related cash effects to be in the range of $3.0 billion to $3.5 billion.
