Item
2.05.                                Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
As part
of its ongoing optimization of its cost and expense structure, on January 13,
2009, Lexmark International, Inc. (the "Company") announced a restructuring plan
(the "2009 Restructuring Plan").  The Company continually reviews its
resources in light of a variety of factors, and has determined that it will
restructure its workforce through elimination of certain functions on a
worldwide basis.
The 2009
Restructuring Plan is expected to impact about 375 positions through the end of
2009.  The Company estimates the 2009 Restructuring Plan will result
in total pre-tax charges of approximately $45 million, all of which will require
cash.  Pre-tax charges of approximately $20 million will be recognized
in the fourth quarter of 2008.  The Company expects the 2009
Restructuring Plan to be substantially completed by the end of
2009.  The Company currently estimates total annual cost savings as a
result of the 2009 Restructuring Plan to be approximately $40 million in 2009
and $50 million thereafter.  The text of the press release announcing
the 2009 Restructuring Plan is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
