On May 13, 2019, Kellogg Company (the “Company”) announced a proposed reorganization plan for the European business designed to simplify the organization, increase organizational efficiency, and enhance key processes.

The Company currently anticipates employee-related costs totaling approximately $33 million which will include severance and other termination benefits; and other costs totaling approximately $17 million which will primarily consist of charges related to relocation, third party legal and consulting fees, and contract termination costs.
