Item 2.05
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On July 28, 2020, Celanese Corporation ("
Celanese
" or the "
Company
") announced its intention to consolidate compounding operations currently at its facilities in Kaiserslautern, Germany; Wehr, Germany and Ferrara Marconi, Italy into a Compounding Center of Excellence at its Forlì, Italy manufacturing location.  This proposed consolidation is subject to consultation processes with the applicable works councils and union representatives at those respective facilities, which the Company also initiated on July 28, 2020.  The Company intends for the consolidation, subject to the completion of such consultation processes, to be completed by the end of 2021.
As a result of this intended consolidation, the Company expects to record expenses, excluding employee termination costs, of approximately $45-65 million, consisting primarily of a $25 million non-cash impairment charge, which will be reflected in the Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2020, approximately $5-15 million of non-cash accelerated depreciation of fixed asset costs, and approximately $15-25 million of other facility-related shutdown and relocation cash costs (primarily tax costs, physical site relocation costs and asset retirement obligations), with such cash outflows expected to occur during fiscal 2021 and 2022.
In addition to these expenses, the Company expects to incur employee termination costs.  Employee termination costs are subject to the above-referenced works council consultations.  Until such consultations are concluded, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the employee termination costs it will incur in connection with the intended actions. The Company will disclose the amount, type and timing of such costs promptly after they are determined.
The above charges are estimates; the actual charges may vary significantly based on various factors, including the outcome of the consultation processes with the applicable works councils and union representatives.
Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure.
On July 28, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing the proposed facility consolidation described under Item 2.05 above. A copy of the press release is furnished as an exhibit to this Current Report.
