On April 29, 2015, Meritor, Inc. (the “Company”) announced a restructuring plan to further reduce headcount in South America, which was approved by the local union. This restructuring plan is in response to the current economic environment in South America which has weakened significantly in 2015. Commercial truck production in South America in fiscal year 2015 is now expected to be approximately 40 percent below the prior year. With this restructuring plan, the Company expects to eliminate up to 233 hourly and 21 salaried positions and incur $9 million in employee separation costs in the Commercial Truck & Industrial segment. Restructuring actions associated with this plan are expected to be substantially completed by June 30, 2015.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
