Item 2.05.  Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On August 28, 2012, Lexmark International, Inc. (the "Company") announced a restructuring plan (the "August 2012 Plan") to improve profitability and generate savings.  The August 2012 Plan includes restructuring actions including the exiting of the development and manufacturing of the Company's remaining inkjet hardware. The Company will continue to provide service, support and aftermarket supplies for its inkjet installed base.  Reductions will occur primarily in inkjet-related infrastructure as well as positions in research and development, supply chain and other support functions.
The Company expects the non-manufacturing actions to be principally complete by the end of 2013 and the closing of the Cebu, Philippines inkjet supplies manufacturing facility by the end of 2015.
The August 2012 Plan is expected to impact about 1,700 positions worldwide, including 1,100 manufacturing positions. The August 2012 Plan will result in total pre-tax charges of approximately $160 million with approximately $110 million incurred in 2012 ($75 million of which will be incurred in the third quarter of 2012), $30 million incurred in 2013, and the remaining $20 million incurred in 2014 and 2015.  The Company expects the total cash cost of the August 2012 Plan to be approximately $75 million with approximately $40 million incurred in 2012 ($5 million of which will be incurred in the third quarter of 2012), $30 million impacting 2013, and the remaining $5 million impacting 2014 and 2015.
Lexmark expects the August 2012 Plan to generate savings of approximately $1 million in 2012, approximately $85 million in 2013 and ongoing annual savings beginning in 2015 of approximately $95 million.
A copy of the press release announcing the August 2012 Plan is provided as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report, and is incorporated into this item by reference.
Item 8.01.  Other Events.
On August 23, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of an additional $200 million of the Company's Class A Common Stock, raising the Company's share repurchase authority to approximately $351 million. The repurchase authority allows the Company to selectively repurchase its Class A Common Stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
