(the "Registrant") publicly disclosed its intention to begin consultations with the appropriate works council in regard to a plan to relocate production from its manufacturing facility in Méry, France primarily to other facilities of the Registrant and subsequently to close its facility in Méry.  The Registrant expects that the works council consultation process will last approximately two months, after which the Registrant's Board of Directors will make a determination whether to approve the restructuring plan.  If the Registrant's Board of Directors approves the restructuring plan, the charges expected to be incurred in connection with such plan are anticipated to be material to the Registrant.
