Restructuring and Impairment Charges

2019 Multi-Year Productivity Plan

We publicly announced a multi-year productivity plan on February 15, 2019 (2019 Productivity Plan) that will leverage new technology and business models to further simplify, harmonize and automate processes; re-engineer our go-to-market and information systems, including deploying the right automation for each market; and simplify our organization and optimize our manufacturing and supply chain footprint. In connection with this plan, we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $2.5 billion and cash expenditures of approximately $1.6 billion. These pre-tax charges are expected to consist of approximately 70% of severance and other employee-related costs, 15% for asset impairments (all non-cash) resulting from plant closures and related actions, and 15% for other costs associated with the implementation of our initiatives. We expect to complete this plan by 2023.

The total expected plan pre-tax charges are expected to be incurred by division approximately as follows:

	FLNA		QFNA		PBNA		LatAm		Europe		AMESA		APAC		Corporate
Expected pre-tax charges	11	%	2	%	30	%	10	%	25	%	8	%	5	%	9	%

A summary of our 2019 Productivity Plan charges is as follows:
