style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On January 21, 2015, Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CPS), the parent company of Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. (&#8220;Cooper Standard&#8221;), announced its intention to restructure its European manufacturing footprint based on current and anticipated market demands. The restructuring effort aims to further improve Cooper Standard&#8217;s European capability by removing excess capacity, improving cost structure and shifting some production to its Eastern European facilities. Actions include consolidation of operations to improve efficiencies and closure or downsizing of certain facilities with high costs and unutilized capacity in Western Europe, including Germany and France. We expect to complete these restructuring activities by the end of 2017. The actions announced today are subject to consultation with employee works councils and other approvals. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Cooper Standard expects to recognize total expense related to these actions of approximately $120-125 million over the next three years, of which approximately $115-120 million will be in cash. The cash expenditures include severance, retention payments, relocation of equipment, training, start-up and other costs related directly to the restructuring activities. In addition, Cooper Standard expects to incur $10-15 million of capital expenditures to facilitate the restructuring efforts.

Item 2.05    Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On January 21, 2015, Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CPS), the parent company of Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. ("Cooper Standard"), announced its intention to restructure its European manufacturing footprint based on current and anticipated market demands. The restructuring effort aims to further improve Cooper Standard's European capability by removing excess capacity, improving cost structure and shifting some production to its Eastern European facilities. Actions include consolidation of operations to improve efficiencies and closure or downsizing of certain facilities with high costs and unutilized capacity in Western Europe, including Germany and France. We expect to complete these restructuring activities by the end of 2017. The actions announced today are subject to consultation with employee works councils and other approvals.
Cooper Standard expects to recognize total expense related to these actions of approximately $120-125 million over the next three years, of which approximately $115-120 million will be in cash. The cash expenditures include severance, retention payments, relocation of equipment, training, start-up and other costs related directly to the restructuring activities. In addition, Cooper Standard expects to incur $10-15 million of capital expenditures to facilitate the restructuring efforts. Cooper Standard anticipates these restructuring activities to provide approximately $50-55 million in annualized savings upon completion.
